Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

"Next, we'll just have to wait for the blood transfusion to finish; that will probably take quite a long time."

Xiao Xuan said softly, then slowly closed his eyes. Xun'er, who was beside him, nodded slightly and stared at the blood pool for a while. After not seeing any unusual changes, she finally felt a little relieved and entered a state of cultivation.

The ancient hall was completely silent, except for the gurgling sound of blood bubbles constantly echoing within it. In this silence, a month passed swiftly.

"Gurgle..."

Within the pool of blood, blood bubbles churned continuously. Xiao Jue's skin had returned to its former appearance, looking full of vitality.

Outside his body, countless streaks of blood could still be seen continuously gushing out and eventually flowing into his body. As this flowed in, Xiao Jue's aura gradually increased.

"boom!"

This silence lasted for an unknown period of time, until at a certain moment, the bubbling pool of blood suddenly froze, followed by a low, explosive sound.

Blood mist splattered everywhere, but a strange purple-gold light emanated from Xiao Jue's body, actually blocking the blood streaks.

The sudden turn of events caused Xun'er and Xiao Xuan, who were standing by the blood pool, to open their eyes abruptly. Both of them were stunned by what they saw.

"What is this?"

Xun'er stared blankly at the purple-gold light. She could vaguely sense an extremely noble and strange aura emanating from it, an aura she had never felt before.

Xiao Xuan also frowned as he stared at the purple-gold light, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. After a long while, he slapped his palm hard, and a voice filled with extreme astonishment came from his mouth.

"The power of the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline? How could something so legendary appear in Xiao Jue's body?"

"The power of the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline?"

Hearing Xiao Xuan's surprised voice, Xun'er was also slightly taken aback, and then asked with some doubt, "What is this thing?"

The dragon and phoenix have not appeared many times in the history of the Dou Qi Continent, so even though Xun'er is a member of an ancient clan, she is still very unfamiliar with this title.

Xiao Xuan also looked at Xiao Jue in the blood pool with surprise. He found it hard to believe that such a thing was hidden in Xiao Jue's body. He knew that even he had never seen such a strange existence as a dragon or phoenix.

"The Dragon-Phoenix is ​​a mysterious creature possessing the bloodlines of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix. It is the true supreme being in the world of magical beasts, but it appears only a handful of times. Even I have never seen such a being with my own eyes," Xiao Xuan said slowly.

"A mysterious creature possessing the bloodlines of the Ancient Void Dragon and the Ancient Celestial Phoenix?"

Xun'er furrowed her brows slightly. She did know that Canaan Academy had a Zi Yan, whose true form was the Ancient Void Dragon, but she had never heard of Xiao Jue having any dealings with the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, an ancient magical beast that seemed to have disappeared.

"I don't know where he got this dragon-phoenix bloodline power from."

Xiao Xuan was also somewhat helpless, saying, "Judging from the current situation, it seems that the blood cleansing just now did not remove the so-called Dragon-Phoenix bloodline power. Now, with more and more Xiao clan bloodline power flowing into Xiao Jue's body, the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline power, feeling the pressure, couldn't help but erupt."

"Will that affect Brother Xiao Jue?"

Xun'er frowned and said, "If the resistance of the dragon-phoenix bloodline cannot be eliminated, then the bloodline power of the Xiao clan will not be able to merge into Xiao Jue's body. If it is forced to collide, it will only cause him serious injury."

Xiao Xuan frowned, feeling a bit of a headache. This Dragon-Phoenix bloodline power was also extremely strong, comparable to a true Dou Di bloodline, and it seemed that this bloodline power was quite formidable.

"What should we do then?" Xun'er asked with some worry.

Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xun'er and said, "Little girl, would you be willing to do me, or rather, Xiao Jue, a favor?"

Xun'er's eyes flickered, and without much hesitation, she said, "If there's anything you need, Senior Xiao Xuan, please let me know."

"I want some of the bloodline power of the ancient clans!" Xiao Xuan stared intently at Xun'er, a hint of fanaticism appearing in his eyes.

Xiao Xuan said, "I know that the bloodline power of the two races will inevitably be difficult to merge. I have personally tested this back then. But it is precisely because of this that I know why I failed. It is extremely difficult to reconcile two equally powerful bloodline powers."

"But now it's different. The power of the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline is in no way inferior to that of the Dou Di bloodline. Using it as a harmonizing agent might be able to completely fuse the bloodline power of the Gu and Xiao clans, and ultimately resolve some of the troubles brought about by the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline."

"Merging with the power of bloodlines?"

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, even with Xun'er's composure, her expression couldn't help but change slightly. Bloodline power is generally considered a top secret among their race, and it is absolutely forbidden to allow outsiders to obtain it.

Moreover, since they are both of the Dou Di bloodline, they are basically in an opposing state and it is impossible for them to merge. If they were to force a fusion, the consequences of failure would be quite severe.

"I know this idea is crazy. I had this plan back then because I believe that while the bloodline of a Dou Di can certainly give the descendants of a Dou Di far more talent than ordinary people, there must be something lost or flawed in the inheritance of this bloodline."

"And it is precisely because of this that, after some time, the number of people among these ancient races who truly reach the level of Dou Di has become increasingly rare, and it has become increasingly difficult for them?"

As if knowing what Xun'er was thinking, Xiao Xuan shook his head and said, "I tried it before, but I failed in the end. Since then, I have never mentioned it again, but now... perhaps it will be an opportunity."

Looking at Xiao Xuan's aged face, and then at Xiao Jue with his eyes closed in the blood pool, Xun'er hesitated for a long time before finally sighing softly and asking, "Senior Xiao Xuan, are you really confident?"

"Eighty percent!" Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er hesitated for a moment, then bit her lip and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's do as Senior Xiao Xuan says!"

"On behalf of Xiao Jue and the entire Xiao clan, I thank you in advance!" Xiao Xuan said solemnly, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Xun'er.

Xun'er could only smile wryly at Xiao Xuan's generous gift. If it weren't for Xiao Jue, she would never have agreed to such a crazy request from Xiao Xuan.

Taking a soft breath, Xun'er's jade-like hands swiftly formed several strange hand seals, then her fingertips gently traced across her fair, jade-like wrist. (End of Chapter)
