Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 136 Main materials are available

(The third update will be coming soon; I'm already working on it.)

"I am Xiao Kong, and I am not the person you know!"

Xiao Kong slowly floated out of Xiao Li's storage ring. At this moment, his soul state was extremely solid. During this period, his soul power had recovered to the point of reaching the perfection of the spiritual realm.

"Greetings, Senior Xiao Clan." Elder Tianyin clasped his hands in greeting. He looked the soul body up and down; its soul power had reached the peak of the Spirit Realm, comparable to his own.

"Hmm, Yin Gu. Yin Sheng? Is his name Lin Luyin?" Xiao Kong asked.

"Indeed! Senior, do you know the Sound Saint Ancestor?" The Heavenly Sound Elder was surprised that this Xiao Clan senior actually knew the founder of the Sound Valley.

"Hehe, how could I not recognize him? Back then, he made quite a name for himself. In the Eight Clans Grand Competition, as a rogue cultivator, he defeated all the geniuses of the eight clans, astonishing the entire audience, and even forcefully won over the Holy Maiden of my Xiao Clan."

Xiao Kong recalled that there was indeed a man with six fingers who practiced music and played the guzheng. He defeated all the geniuses of the eight clans with a song called "Heartbreak", which shocked the high-ranking members of the eight clans.

"I wonder if you could tell me, senior, whether the wife of the Sound Saint Ancestor is still alive?" Tianyin Elder asked. He had heard his master say that in his later years, the Sound Saint often looked up at the sky and murmured the words "Wan Yao".

"That girl is gone. She was killed by the Soul Clan. She passed away right before my eyes. I couldn't protect her back then," Xiao Kong said, shaking his head.

"I see. The ancestor never found any trace of that lady before his death. Perhaps the ancestor already knew that the lady had been murdered, which is why he died in despair." The old man Tianyin was quite depressed.

"Senior, are you going to be resurrected?" Elder Tianyin asked Xiao Kong again.

"Yes, the Xiao clan is currently facing serious internal and external troubles. Xiao Li still needs time to grow. I also saw what happened to the ancient clan just now. I didn't expect that things would change so much after a thousand years."

Hehe, I saw it all back then: the ancient clans were nothing but sycophants and opportunists. They were lucky to have Gu Yuan as their clan leader. No sooner had the clan leader formed an alliance with them than the Soul Clan arrived.

Heh, thinking about it now, it's truly terrifying. These days, even a few juniors of this ethnicity dare to trample on the Xiao clan. If I don't revive, the Xiao clan might be wiped out by them!

Xiao Kong then looked at Xiao Li. Originally, he was not particularly optimistic about Xiao Li's resurrection of him, or rather, he did not want Xiao Li to slack off in his cultivation because of this matter. But now it seemed very necessary.

The most powerful person in the Xiao Clan right now is Xiao Li, but Xiao Li is only an eight-star Dou Zong. He may be invincible among Dou Zongs, but he can also fight against a one-star Dou Zun.

However, all imperial clans possess Dou Sheng (Battle Saints). With Xiao Li's aptitude, it would take at least several decades for him to become a Dou Sheng. Time waits for no one.

The Heavenly Sound Elder nodded: "Understood. Since you are lacking the remains of a Dou Sheng, then let's use the remains of our Yin Valley Ancestor, the Sound Saint."

The ancestor left a will that if he ever encountered members of the Xiao clan, he should do his best to help them. Now that the senior needs to be resurrected, the remains of a newly ascended Dou Sheng might affect the senior's strength.

Using the ancestor's remains might allow the senior to recover his peak strength as much as possible.

"Thank you, Xiao Kong." Xiao Kong clasped his hands in thanks to Elder Tianyin, surprised that Yin Valley would support the Xiao Clan so much.

"Thank you, Elder Su!" Xiao Li knelt on one knee and bowed to Elder Tianyin.

The old man Tianyin smiled and helped Xiao Li up: "I also see hope for advancement in you. I am only a mid-level half-saint now, but perhaps I can advance to a high-level half-saint after cultivating for more than ten years."

"But I'm still too far from becoming a Dou Sheng. My talent is not as good as Yi'er's or Yin'er's, and breaking through to Dou Sheng will be difficult for me. That's why I need your help."

"Understood. Once I have mastered alchemy, I will help Elder Su break through. In the coming period, I plan to advance to Dou Zun as soon as possible. After reaching Dou Zun, I will be able to refine high-grade eighth-rank pills."

"I'll heal Uncle Jin Yi (Tian Yin Zi)'s injuries first, and then help the Valley Master and the elders improve their strength so that the Valley's overall strength can be raised." Xiao Li stated his next goal.

"Yes, that's fine. I'm not in a hurry here. Let's heal Yi'er first. Once his injuries are healed, his cultivation level might surpass mine very soon. And Yin'er, now that her worries are gone, she can focus on her cultivation."

The Heavenly Sound Elder agreed with Xiao Li's idea, and then he thought of something.

"Little guy, when you've gathered all the materials, bring Senior Xiao to the Sound Realm for resurrection. The Space Trade Fair will open in about four years; I'll accompany you then to see if there are any good items."

For example, rare medicinal herbs, Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, etc. Unfortunately, my Yin Valley doesn't have any fire-attribute Heaven-rank cultivation techniques, so I'll have to go and search for them.

Xiao Li nodded: "Understood. In that case, I'll go move now. This capital is no longer a good place to stay. Also, Elder Su, please help me get rid of those lurking insects."

"It's nothing."

Ancient tribes, ancient world

In a rather quiet dwelling, two elderly men knelt on one knee before a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man to report something.

These two old men were none other than Gu Xu and Gu Qian, who had been brutally beaten by Mang Tianchi earlier.

"I understand. It was those kids who did a bad job. I told them a long time ago that such arrogance would come at a price. This is an experience I've gained over the years."

"Let's put the Xiao clan matter aside for now. Now that we've found them, let's leave it at that. I'll go take a look when I have time. You may all leave."

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, Gu Qian and Gu Xu exchanged a glance, then left without saying anything.

"Chieftain, I take my leave!"

Indeed, this man, who appeared to be around forty years old, looked like an ordinary middle-aged person. He was dressed in simple linen clothes, and had a slight smile on his face, which made people feel a little at ease.

Ancient Clan Chief, Gu Yuan – Late Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng

(Chapter 1600 of the original novel clearly states that both Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi are late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng!)

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after the bloodline of the former Dou Di was abandoned, the Xiao Clan could still produce such an outstanding young man. This makes me believe that Xiao Xuan's actions back then seemed to have some merit."

It's time to visit the descendants of old friends; the events of that year were indeed true."

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, then went inside. His gaze fell on a strange crystal. Upon closer inspection, he saw a baby girl sleeping inside the crystal, with a faint golden flame in her hand.

"It will be soon, Xun'er. Once you fuse with this wisp of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame's sub-flame, you will be able to be born. However, growing up in the family is too much pressure for you, and I don't want you to bear too much burden."

"At least I can live for another thousand years. Leave the protection of the ancient clan to me; you just need to grow up happily."

Gu Yuan was deeply moved as he looked at the baby girl. She was his only bloodline, but because she was his bloodline, Gu Xun'er had been bound by various identities and responsibilities since birth.

There are also those who want to bind him, the strongest person in the world, through marriage, which is not what Gu Yuan wants to see!

Gu Yuan's idea is that as long as his daughter is happy, he, as her father, will be happy.

"Sigh~ I can't stay by Xun'er's side for long. If there are always some old fogies in the family indoctrinating Xun'er, how can she grow up happily? Xiao family."
