While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Chapter 370 A Day of Slacking Off

Above Dragon Island, clouds and mist swirl, and the faint roar of dragons can be heard.

After several days of secluded cultivation, Chen Xiao had completely absorbed the remnant soul power of the Medicine Emperor into his own body, and his cultivation level reached a new height. He took another solid step towards the Dou Di realm, which countless powerful figures had dreamed of for thousands of years.

He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in them. With a flick of his fingertips, a wisp of battle qi, refined to its extreme, burst forth, tearing a hundred-foot-long rift in the void in front of him. The rift remained unhealed for a long time, as if it had become a permanent wound.

Just then, a whooshing sound came from afar, carrying with it a gentle breeze and a faint fragrance. A graceful figure stepped through the air, her skirt fluttering like a blue lotus blooming above a surging sea of ​​clouds, her white sleeves billowing, untouched by any dust.

Chen Xiao waved his hand slightly, dispelling the power that was preventing the space from recovering, allowing the spatial rift to quickly heal, and then stood up to meet it.

"Xun'er, you're pregnant, why did you make this trip yourself?"

As a Dou Sheng powerhouse, Xun'er is naturally not that fragile, but that's just how people are. No matter how strong they are, once they become pregnant, those around them will naturally become nervous.

Xun'er looked up at Chen Xiao, a faint smile in her eyes. She reached out and grasped his wrist, feeling the powerful fighting spirit surging within him.

"I just received a message from my father, and I was thinking of getting out for a walk anyway, so I came over."

"Father sent a message saying that the three powerful clans of Gu Lei Yan have all come out to challenge the Soul Clan to a battle at the ancient battlefield of the Burial Sky Mountains. The time has been set for three days from now, a battle that will determine life and death, survival and extinction!"

"What did the Soul Emperor say?"

"Just as we guessed, attracted by the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Emperor quickly agreed to this decisive battle."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, a hint of anticipation on his face.

Once the four races are determined to be superior, the landscape of the Dou Qi Continent will truly be transformed.

"With the three races united, the number of Dou Sheng experts won't be too much different from the Soul Race. Without the Void Devouring Flame, there are three fewer of the Four Demon Saints, so the gap between top experts isn't that terrifying anymore. This decisive battle probably won't end so quickly. Let them fight it out; we're not in a hurry."

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Xun'er smiled helplessly but didn't say anything more.

Although she was born into an ancient clan, to be honest, her feelings for the clan were not as deep as outsiders thought.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xun'er has never even met many of the clan's elders who are in seclusion year-round.

Chen Xiao's ability to ensure that the Ancient Clan would not fall into the same state as the Medicine Clan was enough for Xun'er; she wouldn't ask for more.

After all, without breaking with the old, there can be no new!

After a brief chat about business, Chen Xiao put the topic aside and, holding Xun'er's hand, strolled slowly towards their residence.

Around noon, when the two returned to their sleeping quarters, they found Yao Chen and his disciple waiting outside. Judging from their expressions, they clearly had something on their minds.

Seeing this, Xun'er smiled slightly and entered the main hall first.

"Sect Master—"

"Let's talk in the side hall."

Chen Xiao led the two to a side hall, where a graceful maid with a veiled face bowed her head and served tea. She then stood respectfully to the side, ready to serve at any moment.

Chen Xiao ignored the familiar-looking maid for the time being, took a sip of tea, and calmly looked down at the master and disciple.

Xiao Yan and Yao Chen exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and then stood up and bowed.

"Sect Master, Xiao Yan has come to see you today because—he has a favor to ask!"

Xiao Yan looked somewhat uncomfortable, mainly because he simply couldn't offer anything to attract Chen Xiao, and he hadn't even had time to repay some of the favors he owed from the past.

"Are you referring to Xiao Zhan?"

Xiao Yan nodded. "As you predicted, Pavilion Master, I didn't understand before why the Soul Clan, such a behemoth, would go to the trouble of capturing my father when they could easily destroy the Xiao family. Later I learned that it was for the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade."

"Whether it was a twist of fate or a misunderstanding, it gave my father a chance to survive. But now that the whereabouts of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade have been revealed, my father has lost all value to the Soul Clan and could be killed at any time."

"Yes, that makes sense." Chen Xiao nodded.

"I know that the Pavilion Master must have his own plans. Xiao Yan dares not ask for too much. I only hope that if the Pavilion Master sees my father in the future, without affecting the overall situation, he can rescue him. Xiao Yan will be eternally grateful!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yan bowed deeply, performing a very solemn salute.

Chen Xiao watched calmly and did not stop them.

He had already repaid his debts tenfold or even a hundredfold for the friendship he had with the Xiao family of Wutan City back then. After that, most of his interactions with Xiao Yan were purely transactional.

Right now, Xiao Yan is asking me for a favor, so there's nothing wrong with accepting his bow.

"Go back now. I'll help him if I have the chance."

Just as Xiao Yan said, he wouldn't deliberately plan to save Xiao Zhan, but if he could see him, he would just take advantage of the situation; it would be a simple favor.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Xiao Yan cupped his hands again, his serious expression easing slightly.

As a son, this was all he could do, and he had a clear conscience.

If Xiao Zhan still suffers a terrible fate, he can only cultivate even harder and see if he has a chance to take revenge in the future.

Yao Chen, who was standing to the side, also stood up at this moment, clasped his fists at Chen Xiao, and then left with Xiao Yan.

Only two people remained in the side hall. Chen Xiao glanced at the Dragon Emperor, who seemed like a completely different person, and patted the spot next to him.

"hey-hey."

Zi Yan chuckled lightly, as always treating the seat as if it didn't exist, and skillfully sat on Chen Xiao's lap. She casually set up a barrier, and then slightly adjusted her posture, and they fit together perfectly.

"How's this outfit? After you and Fairy Doctor left last night, Sister Cao Ying secretly told me that she said that occasionally changing your look can bring unexpected benefits."

Without Chen Xiao even needing to interrogate her, Zi Yan had already confessed everything.

Moreover, one of them dares to teach, and the other dares to learn!

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Pretty good, it just gave me some inspiration."

"What inspired you?"

"Bodhi sent me a message this morning, inviting me to a small gathering. I plan to change my appearance a little before going."

"What place is so powerful that even you and the Bodhi Tree have to be so careful?"

"It's not that we're being careful, we just don't want to bother others."

"Where exactly is it?"

"The Soul Realm!"

"Why did he end up on the Soul Clan's territory?"

"Who knows? I guess the spiritual energy in the Soul Realm is more abundant."

"That's true. After all, they are an ancient race with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, and they have produced so many powerful figures. The Soul Realm is probably more suitable for cultivation than the Ancient Realm!"
