Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

"Clan Chief Xiao, let me introduce you. This is Elder Gu Lie, the Black Annihilation King of my clan!"

As Gu Dao introduced the ancient path, Gu Lie also clasped his hands in greeting to Xiao Yang.

"Greetings, Clan Chief Xiao!"

Xiao Yang returned the greeting.

"I have long heard of the Black Annihilation King's name."

Then, Gu Dao looked at Xun'er standing to the side.

"As for Xun'er, you should already be quite familiar with her."

Xun'er smiled and nodded at Xiao Yang.

"Cousin Xiao Yang, it's been a long time."

Xiao Yang nodded in response.

"Xun'er, it's been a long time. You've become even more beautiful."

Then, Gu Dao introduced a few more people to Xiao Yang.

Those behind them, apart from Xun'er, were all powerful individuals at the Dou Sheng level who were able to get here!

No one showed any disrespect to Xiao Yang.

They didn't treat Xiao Yang like a junior at all.

After all, they knew from the ancient road that Xiao Yang's strength was comparable to an eight-star Dou Sheng!

Among the people present, even Gu Lie, an eight-star Dou Sheng, might not be a match for Xiao Yang.

Although Gu Lie is second only to Gu Yuan in the ancient clan.

However, he was only at the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm.

He couldn't withstand the siege of Soul Slayer and Soul Demon for that long.

Not to mention someone like Xiao Yang, who beat the two of them so badly that they were even on the verge of death.

Moreover, Xiao Yang himself is currently the only ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster on the continent!

They dared not show the slightest disrespect to such a powerful figure.

Xiao Yang is someone who has the same status as their clan leader!

Soon, led by Gu Dao and the others, Xiao Yang arrived at the city center.

The entrance to the ancient world is right here!

In the center of the ancient holy city, there was a huge lake.

The lake was exceptionally clear, but its depths were unfathomable.

At first glance, its deep and dark atmosphere is somewhat eerie.

As Xiao Yang and his group arrived, a strong spatial fluctuation emanated from the lake.

An extremely dazzling beam of light shot out from the lake and connected with the light shield of the ancient holy city.

"Boom!"

As the beam of light and the light shield connected, a thunderous sound suddenly erupted from the space above the lake.

The space above the lake began to slowly crack open.

Soon, a black portal leading to the unknown depths appeared before Xiao Yang and the others.

Gu Dao smiled and said this.

"Clan Chief Xiao, this is the spatial gate leading to my ancient realm."

"please!"

Xiao Yang didn't stand on ceremony and walked directly towards the spatial gate.

Soon, Xiao Yang passed through the spatial gate and saw the scene behind it.

Above the boundless fence, colorful clouds float.

Occasionally a gentle breeze blows, creating a green wave across the grassland below.

The energy of heaven and earth here is several times more concentrated than that of the outside world, even higher than that of the Yang Realm, which has been nourished by the Danyu rain many times.

Looking out, Xiao Yang saw no end in sight to the ancient realm.

Compared to the Yang Realm, the Ancient Realm is much larger.

However, Xiao Yang's gaze was more drawn to the person in front of him.

Several figures were in the air in front of Xiao Yang.

Their auras were extremely powerful, at least at the level of a five-star Dou Sheng!

However, these powerful beings stood respectfully behind a figure at this moment.

The other person looked to be around forty years old, seemingly just an ordinary middle-aged man.

He was dressed in simple linen clothes, with a gentle smile on his face.

Those peaceful eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

However, beneath its ordinary appearance lies an extremely terrifying power.

Even Xiao Yang felt a sense of crisis upon sensing the other party's power.

Upon seeing Xiao Yang arrive, the other person's smile became even more gentle.

"Clan Chief Xiao, is this our first time meeting?"

I heard Xun'er mention you a long time ago.

"I am Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan. Welcome to the Ancient Realm."

Although Xiao Yang and Xun'er were of equal generation, Gu Yuan did not look down on Xiao Yang at this moment.

His words show that he considers Xiao Yang to be on the same level as himself.

Xiao Yang said with a smile.

"I have long admired the great name of the ancient clan leader, and I am honored to be disturbing you today."

Xiao Yang didn't come here this time as a junior.

He arrived as the current patriarch of the Xiao family!

Few would believe the Xiao family of Wutan City if they claimed to be one of the ancient imperial clans.

Xiao Zhan didn't dare to make a move even when facing a mere protector of the Yunlan Sect.

However, given the strength Xiao Yang has shown so far, even though their Xiao family has lost the bloodline of the Dou Di, they are still the same Xiao clan!

As the head of the Xiao family, his status was naturally equal to that of Gu Yuan.

Therefore, he spoke to Gu Yuan with neither arrogance nor servility.

Gu Yuan looked at Xiao Yang and said with a smile.

"This is Chief Xiao's first time visiting our ancient realm. How about I show you around?"

"I would be honored to accept your offer, then I will trouble Chief Gu."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang smiled and replied.

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's reply, Gu Yuan waved his hand.

The next moment, a muffled rumble of thunder suddenly sounded from the distant horizon.

A large, dark cloud surged toward them.

Xiao Yang immediately recognized that above the dark cloud were actually ten warships flying in the sky!

Dark clouds loomed around the warship, bringing with them thunder.

Its momentum was magnificent and awe-inspiring.

"Clan Chief Xiao, please board the warship!"

Gu Yuan gestured "please" to Xiao Yang.

Seeing this, Xiao Yang followed Gu Yuan onto the warship.

The warship was enormous, and it was filled with soldiers of the Black Annihilation Army.

Xiao Yang remained calm at this moment.

It wouldn't be too difficult for him to forge such a warship.

However, he preferred to use the refining materials on the puppet.

The warships are extremely fast and can also traverse space.

Although the ancient realm is vast, with this warship, traversing it is very fast.

Along the way, Gu Yuan would occasionally introduce the Ancient Realm to Xiao Yang.

The ancient clans truly lived up to their reputation as ancient imperial clans, possessing a profound and rich heritage.

The ancient world has areas for planting medicinal herbs, raising magical beasts, and cultivating flames.

Moreover, the things inside are not simple either.

The medicinal herb planting area contains some top-grade medicinal herbs, the magical beast breeding area also has eighth-tier magical beasts, and Xiao Yang also sensed the aura of a different kind of fire in the flame cultivation area.

Moreover, there are various different regions.

For example, there is a vast ocean specifically for water-attribute cultivators, volcanoes for fire-attribute cultivators, and forests for wood-attribute cultivators, etc.

There are also many places such as seas of thunder, icebergs, and mines, which are suitable for cultivators of different attributes of battle qi.

There are also several mountains with strong gravity, suitable for physical exercise.

Along the way, Xiao Yang was also secretly making notes.

He plans to take a look at the ancient world and then properly transform his own Yang world in the future.
