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

An indescribable aura emanated from the stone tablet.

This aura wasn't particularly strong, but its level was extremely high!

Emperor Realm Soul!

Xiao Yang understood in an instant.

It must be because Xiao Xuan's soul reached the Emperor Realm.

This is why Xiao Xuan remained so powerful in the Heavenly Tomb even after his death, and was even able to restrain the consciousness of the Heavenly Tomb!

"Come on, follow me inside."

With that, Xiao Xuan entered the stone tablet directly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yang did not hesitate.

He slowly placed his hand on the stone tablet.

The next moment, a feeling of blood connection came over me.

A halo of light spread out from the stone tablet, enveloping Xiao Yang.

Immediately afterwards, the light faded, and Xiao Yang's figure completely disappeared.

……

Looking at the ancient palaces around him, Xiao Yang was not surprised.

He could create the palaces inside the stone tablet when he was a Dou Zun.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, in front of a pool of clear water.

There are clusters of blue lotus flowers in the pond, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Ugh--"

"Could you tell me about the current situation of the Xiao clan?"

Hearing the commotion behind him, Xiao Xuan didn't turn around. He sighed and slowly said.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang explained the original situation of the Xiao family.

"The Xiao clan has long since disappeared, leaving only the Xiao family in a small border town..."

Xiao Yang told Xiao Xuan about the original situation of the Xiao family and their experiences over the years.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yang was actually a ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster, even Xiao Xuan couldn't help but turn around and look at Xiao Yang in surprise.

It should be noted that even when the Xiao family of Wutan City was mentioned, Xiao Xuan's expression did not change in the slightest.

This is enough to show how highly regarded Xiao Yang is as a ninth-grade Golden Core Grandmaster.

Chapter 548 The Will of the Heavenly Tomb!

Soon, Xiao Yang told Xiao Xuan about the situation of the Xiao family in the past few years.

Xiao Xuan remained silent for a moment, his expression somewhat complicated.

After a long while, he finally sighed and said.

"Ugh--"

“I had long anticipated the decline of the Xiao clan.”

“Especially since no one from the Xiao clan has come over these years, I knew my guess was right.”

"Fortunately, at least there are still some incense sticks left."

"Not only that, but you have also become such an outstanding junior."

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yang with unusually gentle eyes.

"Your talent is arguably the strongest in the history of my Xiao clan."

“Even Emperor Xiao, your ancestor, might not have had your strength when he was your age.”

"However, I knew that Gu Yuan would not completely keep his promise to me, but I did not expect that he could 'take care' of the Xiao clan to this extent."

At this point, Xiao Xuan's expression turned somewhat cold.

Then, a flicker of pain crossed his face.

"Back then, I sensed that the Dou Di bloodline of the Xiao clan was gradually becoming thinner, so I gathered the bloodline of the entire clan to try to break through to the Dou Di level."

“I was very talented back then, so I was very confident in myself, and you could even say I was arrogant.”

"So after discussing with many elders, I decided to go all in."

"We used a secret technique to transfer the bloodline power of the entire clan into my body."

"Many Dou Sheng elders were seriously injured or even had their cultivation regressed as a result."

"Several elders were even more seriously affected, and some even died as a result!"

"But in the end, I still failed!"

"After failing to break through to the Dou Di realm, I was ambushed by the Soul Clan and died from severe injuries."

"If I hadn't done that back then, the Xiao Clan might still have the strength to contend with the Soul Clan now."

A hint of melancholy flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes.

He had no regrets.

As the former patriarch of the Xiao clan, Xiao Xuan possessed a firm will and powerful courage.

He was just a little disappointed that he hadn't succeeded in breaking through.

Moreover, this was not a decision made by Xiao Xuan alone.

The elders of the Xiao clan have all agreed.

Otherwise, even if Xiao Xuan was the clan leader, even if he was the strongest in the entire clan, it would be impossible for him to forcibly transfer the bloodline power of the entire clan to himself.

Xiao Xuan shook his head, his expression returning to normal.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I previously did everything I could to hold onto some of the last Dou Di bloodline of our Xiao clan."

"Originally, I planned to wait until a member of the Xiao clan came and then replace his bloodline with that of a Dou Di. That way, at least my Xiao clan could produce another Dou Sheng late-stage expert."

"However, given your talent, I don't intend to do that."

"The bloodline of the Dou Di is a huge help to others, but for you it will only bring you a shackle."

"Take these remaining Dou Di bloodlines with you when you leave. I will teach you secret techniques so that my clan will have another member with Dou Di bloodlines!"

As he spoke, Xiao Xuan raised his hand, and the pool water beside him began to slowly rotate.

Streaks of crimson light slowly emanated from Xiao Xuan's body and began to flow into the pool water.

Just then, Xiao Yang made his move.

"Ancestor, wait a moment!"

The power of bloodline was controlled by Xiao Yang and returned to Xiao Xuan.

Although Xiao Yang's soul power is not as strong as Xiao Xuan's, his mastery of soul power far surpasses Xiao Xuan's.

Moreover, Xiao Xuan had no wariness towards Xiao Yang.

That's why Xiao Yang was able to easily control these bloodline powers.

Most importantly, Xiao Yang himself is a descendant of the Xiao clan.

"what happened?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Xiao Xuan's face.

Xiao Yang didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

“Ancestor, I wish to use the power of this bloodline to resurrect you.”

"This way, after you are resurrected, you will still have your original bloodline."

"These bloodline powers have been stored in your body for so long, and they are highly compatible with you. It is most suitable for you to use them."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"It's no use. I'm just a remnant soul now, and I don't even have a complete soul essence."

"If it weren't for the special rules of the Heavenly Tomb, I would have ceased to exist long ago."

“Once I leave the Heavenly Tomb, I will vanish in an instant.”

"I know that souls can be resurrected, but I am just a remnant soul."

"Without a complete soul essence, I could never be resurrected."

"Moreover, with your talent, you will soon become a supreme expert."

"The Xiao clan can live without me."

At this point, Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yang with great satisfaction.

Xiao Yang revealed a mysterious smile.

"Ancestor, that's not necessarily true!"

With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Xiao Xuan looked over with some curiosity. With his keen eyesight, he could tell at a glance that it was a ninth-grade Xuan Pill.

"A single Grade 9 Mystic Pill cannot replenish my soul's essence."

"My soul has already broken through to the Emperor Realm, and it would take at least a ninth-grade Golden Core to restore my soul's original essence."

Xiao Xuan sensed the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill, then shook his head and said.

“Ancestor, I know that this Heaven-Mending Pill is not enough, but it is only a catalyst.”

With a thought, Xiao Yang produced a gray bead in his hand.

Xiao Xuan could sense that there was a vast amount of soul essence within this gray bead!
