Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 859 Xiao Yan: What do you mean that Emperor Xiao was also kept by the Soul Emperor?
Emperor Xiao!

This is a supreme title that even in the glorious era when prodigies emerged and Dou Di stood tall, it was enough to make one a worthy ruler!

As one of the two oldest Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, the rivalry between the opponent and the Soul Emperor continued for countless years. The Xiao Clan and the Soul Clan became the strongest races that have stood for tens of thousands of years without ever perishing.
But now, his own ancestor claims that he will make him the second Emperor Xiao!
How absurd is this?
A tremor ran through the depths of his soul, Xiao Yan's pupils dilated, and he murmured involuntarily, "Ancestor... what does this mean?"

Xiao Xuan gave him a meaningful look and slowly said, "Do you know that the relationship between Emperor Xiao and Emperor Hun is actually different from what is rumored outside? They are not enemies, but rather 'competing for the Dao'!"

"A struggle over the Dao?"

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Although it wasn't the first time he had heard such profound terms, it was clearly very different when Xiao Xuan said it himself.

"Indeed, as one of the two founding emperors of the Dou Qi Continent, their breakthrough can be said to have laid the foundation for the glorious era of numerous Dou Emperors that followed. Among them, the Soul Emperor advocated 'using one's own body to represent Heaven,' while Emperor Xiao advocated 'using oneself to save Heaven.' The debate between the two began from then on."

Xiao Xuan's expression was cold and solemn as he spoke slowly and deliberately: "The so-called 'using one's own body to replace Heaven' means to use all available resources around you to draw on the power of Heaven's Dao, and ultimately replace the invisible Heaven's Dao that hangs above all living beings."

"But [crossing the heavens with oneself] means not relying on external forces, but relying solely on one's own transformation into the Dao, becoming an existence that even the Heavenly Dao would pale in comparison, transcending the world!"

After saying that, a glint flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes, and he suddenly asked meaningfully, "If I am not mistaken, you should have now successfully embarked on the path of body cultivation, is that right?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan, who had recovered from his shock, hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

Back then, it was only through the fusion of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and the Void Devouring Flame, along with Ruoruo's help, that he managed to step into the realm of body cultivation. One can imagine how difficult it is for ordinary cultivators to cross this threshold.

"Essence, Qi, and Spirit—it's already a stroke of luck for an ordinary person to master just one of them, but you've cultivated all three at the same time. I must say, you've really found a good girl."

Xiao Xuan sighed softly, saying with a touch of melancholy, "In that case, it seems to coincide with the thoughts of the former Emperor Xiao."

At this point, even Xiao Xuan couldn't help but show a hint of envy, and clicked his tongue with a rather unpleasant expression.

"what?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he stammered, "You...you mean that Emperor Xiao back then also embarked on the path to becoming a Dou Di with the help of others?!"

To possess such methods, even capable of cultivating a Dou Di, what terrifying strength must one possess?

Peak Dou Sheng? Half-Emperor?
No, neither.

Could the supreme being who nurtured Emperor Xiao be none other than the Soul Emperor himself?
Doesn't that mean that Emperor Xiao was able to forge a completely new path to become emperor because he was kept by the Soul Emperor?!
"You brat, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's incredibly interesting expression, Xiao Xuan immediately gave him a sharp rap on the head and said irritably, "What I'm referring to is the cultivation of essence, qi, and spirit. If you continue to make wild guesses about the late emperor's image and he manifests his spirit later, you can expect to be removed from the family register!"

"Uh"

Xiao Yan was hit hard on the head and immediately clutched his head in pain. He smiled awkwardly and was about to say something when he suddenly froze on the spot.

"Wait, Ancestor, you just said that Emperor Xiao appeared?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled. "Didn't they leave the Dou Qi Continent a long time ago?"

"good."

"If that's the case, then why are you doing this?"

"Logically speaking, Emperor Xiao and Emperor Hun should have already left the continent long ago, and they shouldn't have even left any trace of their whereabouts."

Xiao Xuan glanced at him, a half-smile on his face: "Unfortunately, based on that thief's analysis, the essence of the Heavenly Tomb Soul is very likely related to Emperor Xiao and the Soul Emperor."

"Varied"

Xiao Yan froze on the spot, even his previous joking expression instantly disappeared, and his eyes were unusually blank: "What?" "The Soul of the Heavenly Tomb is indeed of special origin. If one can refine it, it may even be possible to step into the highest realm of the soul. If its origin is related to the Dou Di, I am not surprised at all."

"However, although it is related to the Dou Di, it is impossible for that thief to break through to the Dou Di realm with just this information. Without 'that thing,' no one in the world is qualified to become an emperor."

After saying that, Xiao Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened, his eyes turning icy cold: "This is also why I am willing to make a deal with him."

In an instant, Xiao Yan's heart seemed to be suddenly touched, and he trembled violently for a moment.

"I truly cannot bestow upon you a divine bloodline, but precisely because of your relationship with the Soul Clan, I can instead secure this new opportunity for you—an opportunity to embark on the same path as Emperor Xiao!"

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Xiao Xuan's deep pupils as he spoke softly, word by word: "Xiao Yan, do you dare to follow in the footsteps of your predecessors and, with your own bloodline, create a brand new Origin God?"

"This"

Xiao Yan's heart pounded, his lips were dry, and he was about to say something when he suddenly heard a buzzing sound coming from the other side of the palace—

"Zheng!"

A soft murmur, like the sound of the creation of heaven and earth, instantly pierced through the clouds.

The next moment, two ancient pages flew out, one depicting black mountains and white waters, the other a wild and ancient domain. Although slightly damaged, they still carried the vastness of a world.

"That's... the Emperor Soul Technique?"

Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised, "Ruo Ruo has come out of seclusion?"

Before this, although he had witnessed the power of this terrifying fighting technique, he mostly thought it was just the power of the purple-gold book. Now that the other party was using it, it was as if it were his own arm, as if he were commanding a soul world.

The difference between the two is considerable.

"Hehe, with the blessing of this Primordial Divine Item, Ruoruo's comprehension of the Emperor Soul Technique is much stronger than before."

With a soft laugh, the figure of the white-robed scholar appeared gracefully, nodding approvingly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Father."

Hun Ruoruo gave a slight bow and thanked her sweetly.

To be honest, she really didn't expect that after learning about her father's dark past, the other party wouldn't get angry and teach her a lesson!
He even took the initiative to teach us the wonderful uses of the Emperor Soul Technique!
By this calculation, among the three powerful figures, Xiao Guhun, his own father actually became the relatively normal one.
"It doesn't matter."

The scholar waved his hand and said with a faint smile, "In that case, the plan to collect the Heavenly Tomb can officially begin."

Collect the Heavenly Tomb!

Upon hearing the scholar's words, everyone present immediately became solemn.

They knew that once they took over the Heavenly Tomb, hostility with the ancient race would be imminent, and even a great war might be unavoidable!

"Little guy"

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was gazing at the sky but could never reach that beautiful figure, Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice transmission was as ethereal as a whisper in the wind.

"Don't forget the choice that belongs to you."
