Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

The night is like water and the moonlight is like a silver thread.

Zhongzhou is a small town outside Luoshenjian.

Xiao Yue did not rush to open the space tunnel to return to the Starfall Pavilion. Little Fairy Doctor's condition was somewhat worrying, and she urgently needed to find a stable environment to heal her injuries. Therefore, Xiao Yue randomly chose a small town as her temporary residence.

There are Starfall Pavilion branches within this small town, so there's no need to worry about security issues.

Midnight,

A crescent moon hung in the dark night sky, its slightly cool light pouring down from the horizon, draping the city, ravaged by the daytime, in a thin veil of silver.

After a period of treatment in a secluded room, Xiao Yue temporarily suppressed the aftereffects of the Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body. However, the girl is still in a coma, and her condition is not good. She still needs further treatment with poison pills to completely cure her.

at this time,

In a guest room deep within the small town, Xiao Yue sat cross-legged on the bed, her hands forming cultivation hand seals. With each breath, a faint, intense heat swirled around her.

Although Xiao Yue did not suffer serious injuries in the battle with Kong Cang and Ice Venerable during the midday, her vital energy was almost completely depleted due to activating the Eight Gates Divine Restriction. Moreover, the domineering power generated by the Divine Restriction would have torn some of her meridians apart if her physique had not been so special.

After taking a healing elixir, the pure medicinal power slowly seeped into the body and, after being refined, transformed into gushing blood and vital energy, flowing through the meridians, gradually reducing the faint pain emanating from them.
This quiet cultivation lasted for nearly two or three hours before Xiao Yue slowly opened her tightly closed blood-red eyes. Her complexion regained some color, and the depleted essence in her body became much more abundant.

"My strength is still insufficient. With my current first-stage Mahayana level strength, even if I open all the divine restrictions, I can only advance to the fifth stage of Mahayana at most. Relying on my physical body and Heavenly Realm soul, I can rival an eight-star Dou Zun."

Feeling the state of her body, Xiao Yue breathed a slight sigh of relief, then muttered to herself in her heart.

The battle during the day saw an unusually large number of Dou Zun level experts appear from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. In addition, Xiao Yue had to consider the safety of Little Fairy Doctor. Otherwise, she would have been completely fearless and could have moved freely in the Central Continent at the very least.

...

"Does Xun'er think that after breaking through to Dou Zun, she can hide it from her sister's senses?"

Xiao Yue suddenly chuckled.

As soon as she finished speaking, a glittering purple light flashed in from the moonlight outside the window, then transformed into a slender and graceful figure, gently landing in the room.

The girl wore a long purple dress, and her long, straight black hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall. She was graceful yet playful, and extremely beautiful.

"Xun'er had clearly concealed her aura to the extreme, but I didn't expect that Sister Xiao Yue would still discover it." The girl in the purple dress said with a smile, her voice clear and melodious, like heavenly music, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

“Even if you conceal your aura to the extreme, your soul fluctuations cannot escape my notice. Unless you can conceal your soul as well, I will be able to find you no matter where you hide,” Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, the girl pouted in slight disappointment. She naturally knew that Xiao Yue's soul power had already reached the Heavenly Realm, and her perception of soul fluctuations was far beyond what she could compare to.

"By the way, Sister Xiao Yue, are you really alright after that battle during the day?" Xiao Xun'er suddenly leaned closer, looked at Xiao Yue, and asked with concern.

Sensing the faint fragrance emanating from the young girl, Xiao Yue smiled warmly, shook her head, and said:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Xun'er breathed a sigh of relief, then said with some complaint, "Sister, really, you've already provoked the Heavenly Phoenix Clan as soon as you arrived in Zhongzhou..."

"And what's so great about Feng Qing'er that my sister could take her as her mount?" The girl felt a pang of jealousy as she said this.

Using her as her older sister's mount... isn't that a bit too intimate? Damn it, she actually lost to someone else in this aspect.

Thinking of this, a slight ripple involuntarily appeared in the girl's beautiful eyes.

Xun'er had a very special feeling for Xiao Yue. It was a feeling that was different from that of a relative, but even closer than that of a relative. In her heart, Xiao Yue's position was probably incomparable to that of her father, Gu Yuan.

Therefore, upon learning that Xiao Yue was actually besieged by the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Xun'er felt a wave of fear. Even with her strong personality, she couldn't hide her worry and anxiety.

Looking at the girl in front of her, who appeared exceptionally elegant and charming under the soft light, Xiao Yue's heart softened slightly. She slowly reached out and grasped the girl's snow-white, soft hand. The touch felt like the finest warm jade, making one feel reluctant to let go.

When Xiao Yue held her hand, Xun'er's cheeks showed a shyness that was rarely seen by outsiders, but she did not break free. After being separated from Xiao Yue for so many years, her feelings for him had not faded, but rather had become more mellow and gentle with the passage of time, permeating every part of her body.

With light, graceful steps, the young girl sat down beside the bed, her cheek resting gently against Xiao Yue's fair, jade-like shoulder and neck. She murmured softly, "Sister Xiao Yue, Xun'er has missed you so much these past years."

Hearing the girl's words, which would be shocking to outsiders, Xiao Yue felt a warmth in her heart. She slid her arm down and hugged the girl's slender and soft waist.

"By the way, Sister Xiao Yue, is the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade on you now?" As if remembering something, the girl suddenly raised her face and asked seriously.

"Um"

Xiao Yue nodded slightly.

The so-called Tuoshe Ancient Jade is actually a jade pendant worn by the Xiao family patriarchs throughout the generations. After learning about the purpose of the Soul Palace, Xiao's father entrusted it to her for safekeeping.

She had asked Yao Chen about that thing, but Yao Chen didn't know much about it either, only that it was related to the last Dou Di powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent.

"Does your family also want this Tuoshe Ancient Jade?" Xiao Yue asked, her brows furrowed slightly. She had actually suspected it for a long time, but what Xiao Yue couldn't understand was that, given Xun'er's father's strength and his peak Ancient Yuan Dou Sheng insight, he couldn't possibly not know that the jade pendant he was wearing was the Tuoshe Ancient Jade. If that was the case, why didn't he just take it?
Upon hearing this, the girl hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said softly, "I don't know much about this thing either. It's just that some people in the clan covet the Xiao family's ancient jade, and my father hasn't managed clan affairs for a long time."

"The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is related to the mystery of the disappearance of the last Dou Di ten thousand years ago. I'm sure Sister Xiao Yue knows that since ancient times, no one has broken through to the Dou Di level. As for those Dou Di powerhouses from back then, they seem to have vanished completely overnight, and we can only find some residual information in some ancient books."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "So that means if we collect all these Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, we can obtain the method to advance to the Dou Di realm?"

"The Dou Qi Continent is vast and boundless, containing some ancient relics of powerful figures. However, most of these relics are incomplete, but even so, every discovery of a relic will cause a tremor across the continent."

At this point, Xun'er turned her beautiful eyes to Xiao Yue and said, "The most recent one was also an extremely dilapidated Dou Di ruin. That time, it attracted countless powerful figures, and Elder Yao Chen also participated."

Xiao Yue raised an eyebrow. She had heard Yao Lao mention these things before. The Burning Technique that Xiao Yanzi cultivated was obtained by Yao Chen from the Dou Di Ruins.

"The Ancient Emperor Tuoshe was the last Dou Di to appear on the Dou Qi Continent. He left behind a Dou Di Mansion hidden in the void. This Dou Di Mansion is extremely well preserved. Both my Ancient Clan and the Soul Hall want to enter it, and the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is the key to unlocking the Dou Di Mansion."

"Therefore, before we have absolute strength, Sister Xiao Yue must not reveal the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in her possession!" Xun'er's expression became extremely solemn as she said this.

Now that the Xiao family has declined, even though the ancient clans had made an agreement with the Xiao family ancestors, there are still many disagreements within the ancient clans because of this matter. If this matter is exposed, it is possible that some powerful members of the ancient clans will take action on their own. At that time, Xiao Yue's situation will be extremely dangerous.

Looking at the girl's solemn expression, Xiao Yue slowly nodded and said in a low voice, "The Soul Palace attacked my Xiao family because of this."

The girl nodded gently and said, "My sister's Xiao Clan was once the most powerful imperial clan on the continent. At its peak, no one could surpass them. However, one of the Xiao Clan's ancestors was inherently at odds with the imperial clan behind the Soul Palace..."

Xiao Yue became interested upon hearing this.

She had always been interested in the history of the Xiao family as an imperial clan, but unfortunately, the Xiao family had long forgotten those records.

"Back then, the ancestor of the Xiao clan was one of the five most powerful figures, a peak Dou Sheng. At that time, the Xiao clan under his leadership had a very good relationship with my ancient clan," the girl said with a smile.

"The five strongest beings from ancient times?"

Xiao Yue touched her chin.

"The ancient tomb of the Xiao clan's ancestor is now located in our clan's small world, but that tomb possesses a strange power that prevents anyone from entering. Therefore, over the years, no one has been able to enter the ancient tomb of the Xiao clan's ancestor."

At this point, Xun'er's eyes flickered as she looked at Xiao Yue, and said thoughtfully, "If I'm not mistaken, that ancient tomb should only be accessible to those with the bloodline of the Xiao clan, like Sister Xiao Yue."

"If you have the chance to go to the Heavenly Tomb Small World, sister, perhaps you could go there and take a look. Maybe you'll find something there," the girl said, seemingly implying something.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue paused slightly, then, with her keen mind, she seemed to realize something. A faint red glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she slowly rose, walked to the window, gazed at the bright moon, and said softly:

"Is Xun'er hiding something from me?"

Xiao Yue's voice was very calm, but the girl could vaguely sense a heart-pounding pressure. Her heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head guiltily, stammering, "..."

"Nothing, nothing."

Looking at the girl's guilty expression, Xiao Yue felt a sense of helplessness. She shook her head and said slowly, "Xun'er, you know my temper. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But if you want to do something behind my back, don't blame me for being impolite later."

Sensing the seriousness in Xiao Yue's words, the girl's delicate body trembled slightly. She then raised her head with a hint of grievance, looked at Xiao Yue by the window, and whispered, "Sister Xiao Yue, Xun'er just wanted to share some of your burden."

Xiao Yue turned around and looked at the girl's slightly reddened eyes. Her heart softened, and she slowly walked forward and said softly, "There's no need to do pointless things in the future."

"Um…"

The girl lowered her head and mumbled an "Mmm." After being neglected by her older sister at Canaan Academy, she seemed afraid to disobey Xiao Yue's wishes again.

Looking at the girl in the purple dress, who looked as frightened as a little rabbit, Xiao Yue sighed softly, reached out and pulled her into her arms, and whispered, "Silly girl."

The number of places to enter the ancient clan's Heavenly Tomb Small World is so limited that the ancient clan probably doesn't even have enough for its own people. If Xun'er were to forcefully try to secure a place for Xiao Yue, she would likely face difficulties from some members of the ancient clan.

As for the alliance between the Xiao family ancestors and the ancient clan, it is likely that some members of the ancient clan have long forgotten about it!
Now, Xun'er has a Dou Sheng father, but unfortunately, her father is not helpful, which makes the young girl's power in the clan hollowed out by the elders. Her father, the clan leader, is indifferent to worldly affairs, doesn't even care about the Tuoshe Ancient Jade of the Xiao family, and even abandoned his own daughter to the Xiao family to raise. It can be seen how much Gu Yuan has given up and become apathetic.

The girl's father is now experiencing a great deal of emotional distress. Over the course of thousands of years, his old friends and relatives have passed away one after another, and there are not many people left from his generation. However, as a peak Dou Sheng, he still has a very long lifespan. In addition, the death of his mother when she was born has dealt a heavy blow to his father.

Even if an average person didn't become depressed, they would probably go insane. This is why Gu Yuan gave her away to others to raise. Gu Yuan, who needed to heal his emotional wounds, had neither the time nor the energy to raise a child.

Fortunately, the elders within the ancient clan didn't dare to really do anything to Xun'er.

After all, the girl's father, who was at the peak of the Dou Sheng realm, was just old in mindset, had lost his ambition, and was showing signs of aging; it wasn't that he was no longer able to wield a sword!
If he really got going, those so-called Battle Saints of the Soul Hall would have no choice but to line up obediently in front of Gu Yuan and get slapped one by one. Even the Hall Master of the Soul Hall would probably have to kneel down, and he would definitely slap them one by one without making a sound.

Therefore, although Xun'er, as the daughter of the clan chief, did not have much real power in the clan, no one dared to bully her.

However, the girl didn't seem to care about this. Compared to the rights of the ancient clan, she cared more about the feelings between her and Xiao Yue.
