Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 59 Gu Yuan personally visits, reminiscing about the past.

"acquaintance?"

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi also stopped in his tracks.

His eyes showed considerable confusion.

However, before Xiao Xuan could explain, the space around Xiao Yi seemed to freeze, and everything seemed to stand still.

Immediately, a golden light slowly appeared behind Xiao Yi, gradually enveloping him.

They took Xiao Yi to another mysterious space.

Immediately, a red light flashed on the storage ring on Xiao Yi's finger, and Xiao Xuan's figure reappeared.

"Since we're here—"

"There's no need to be so cautious—"

Xiao Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat strange smile, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"I never imagined your soul would awaken here!"

Immediately, a deep and powerful voice slowly rang out from within the golden light.

The next second, an energy fluctuation occurred in the golden light in front of Xiao Yi, and a man dressed in an ancient blue-gold robe slowly stepped out from the energy fluctuation.

Xiao Yi looked up and saw the man standing with his hands behind his back, his clothes embroidered with intricate ancient totems.

A golden luster seemed to flow behind it, as if it absorbed all the power of heaven and earth.

The moment the man appeared, he exuded an aura of supreme authority, commanding respect from all living beings and instilling a sense of unease in everyone.

"Gu Yuan, a thousand years have passed, and I never imagined you'd become so timid—"

Xiao Xuan looked up at Gu Yuan and couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

Gu Yuan! ? ?

Upon hearing the name, Xiao Yi couldn't help but pause slightly.

Good heavens! The dignified Nine-Star Dou Sheng Peak expert, the patriarch of the ancient clan, has actually come in person!

No wonder the person in front of me had such an extraordinary aura when they appeared.

However, upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Gu Yuan showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, he simply smiled and said, "Being careful will always prevent any problems—"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes: "Indeed, just as carefully as we were a thousand years ago—"

Gu Yuan naturally understood the meaning behind Xiao Xuan's words. Gu Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Back then, I didn't have your courage and confidence. I had countless ancient clansmen behind me, and I couldn't gamble with them—"

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly: "You old rascal—"

"Did I tell you to go gambling?!"

"Back when the Soul Clan took advantage of my failed attempt to break through to the Dou Di realm during my seclusion and massacred my Xiao Clan, I didn't expect the ancient clans to lend a hand!"

"But I chose to self-destruct, severely injuring the Soul Emperor! Why do you still choose to remain secluded and not emerge?!"

"Aren't you aware of the Soul Clan's ambitions? Such a detestable bloodline should be completely eradicated from the continent!"

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes.

From Xiao Xuan's perspective, he had risked his life to self-destruct back then, severely injuring the Soul Emperor!

If Gu Yuan had been willing to lead the Ancient Clan to attack the Soul Clan back then, the Soul Clan would probably be completely extinct on the continent by now.

In this light, Gu Yuan certainly deserves the title of the most cowardly nine-star Dou Sheng.

A thousand years ago, among the eight ancient clans, Xiao Xuan relied on his powerful strength to lead the Xiao clan to the top two positions among the eight ancient clans.

The ancient tribe, on the other hand, has consistently ranked third.

Therefore, the Xiao tribe and the Gu tribe enjoyed a long honeymoon period.

Therefore, before Xiao Xuan went into seclusion to attempt to become a Dou Di, he specifically asked Gu Yuan for help, hoping that Gu Yuan could take care of the Xiao Clan.

In retrospect, Gu Yuan did not fulfill his promise from back then.

This is why the Xiao clan declined and became the Xiao family we know today.

Xiao Xuan had already taken this matter lightly.

After all, he was now just a remnant soul and didn't have the strength to settle scores with Gu Yuan.

Moreover, things have come to this point, and no matter what we do now, we cannot change the already rewritten and predetermined outcome.

Gu Yuan could only sigh repeatedly, repeating his usual refrain: "As the clan leader—"

"I don't have the courage to gamble with the lives of my entire clan!"

"If I had attacked the Soul Clan back then, how could I have guaranteed that the other clans wouldn't have taken the opportunity to cause trouble!"

"When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits; our ancient people cannot be like that snipe and the clam—"

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly, though he seemed somewhat helpless.

Because ever since he met Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan has always had this kind of personality.

Be careful!

To put it more seriously, it means losing some of your spirit, which is cowardice!

"Then your presence today, as the dignified patriarch of an ancient clan, surely is not merely to reminisce with me—"

"If you want the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, with your nine-star Dou Sheng strength, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to just go to the Xiao family?"

"Although I have awakened, I am ultimately just a soul, without a physical body. If you wish, I have no power to stop you—"

Xiao Xuan looked up at Gu Yuan and spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Xuan spoke in this way simply to see if Gu Yuan would still remember their past relationship.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan merely smiled slightly: "Xiao Xuan—"

"Are you treating me, Gu Yuan, as a member of the Soul Clan?!"

"Our ancient clan would never do something like kicking someone when they're down—"

"The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is important, but it ultimately belongs to your Xiao clan. Now that you have awakened, I believe the Xiao family can safeguard it well—"

"I came here today only because I heard about your awakening, and I came specifically to find out if it's true—"

"After all, given our relationship, there's no reason for me not to come—"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's lips.

In this light, although Gu Yuan may be somewhat cowardly, he is at least still friendly to the Xiao family and remembers the kindness they showed him back then.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan smiled slightly and then said softly, "Xiao Xuan, now that your soul has been awakened—"

"What are your plans? Don't you have any intention of being resurrected—"

"After all, it's uncomfortable not to feel like you have a physical body—"

Xiao Xuan glanced down at Xiao Yi before speaking again, "Hahahaha—"

"My soul slept for a thousand years, and in that long darkness, I once thought that this was all there was to my life—"

"Until this kid appeared, his fighting spirit, which was exactly the same as mine, awakened me—"

"I, Xiao Xuan, have already died once. I am content to be able to see this continent again in my soul form—"

"As for resurrection, let fate decide."

"Back then, I had given it my all just to reach that supreme threshold—"

"What a pity, what a pity—"

At this moment, Xiao Xuan no longer had the same obsession with breaking through to become a Dou Di as he had back then.

Having slept for a thousand years, he had long since seen through it all—

The confidence they once had is long gone.

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, both Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan fell silent for a moment.

As top experts on the continent, both of them naturally knew the reason why Xiao Xuan failed to break through to the Dou Di realm back then.

Because this continent no longer has enough Origin Energy for him to advance to the Dou Di level.
