Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 43 Xiao Xuan's Memories, Blood Axe Xiao Chen

Upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Why does Xiao Xuan mutter Xiao Chen's name when he sees the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?

In the original story, Xiao Xuan was unaware that Xiao Chen had become a fire slave of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

"Ancestor——"

Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter a low voice in his heart.

Xiao Xuan sighed and said in a deep voice again, "Never mind, I'll explain later—"

Xiao Yi nodded.

He then turned to Little Fairy Doctor and said softly, "Looking over there, the opportunity in this cave is almost over—"

"We should leave as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances—"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded gently.

Just like when they first descended the mountain, Xiao Yi gently put his arm around Xiao Yixian's slender waist, while Xiao Yixian tightly held onto Xiao Yi's shoulder.

With the help of the Dragon Abyss Breaking Formation Spear, the two easily climbed up the cliff.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, I think it's getting late—"

"We found quite a few medicinal herbs in that cave today—"

"Why don't we head down the mountain today?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the overflowing medicinal herbs in her medicine bag and the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture she was tightly clutching in her arms, her face beaming with undisguised joy and satisfaction.

Xiao Yi nodded upon hearing this.

On this trip, he found the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, and the Xuan-rank flying combat skill, the Purple Cloud Wings.

For Xiao Yi, it was also a very fruitful experience.

Qingshan Town.

Led by Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yi and his companion smoothly left the Monster Mountain Range and returned to Green Mountain Town.

It was getting late.

Most of the residents in Qingshan Town are already resting at this time.

Inside the medicine shop, in Little Fairy Doctor's room.

-

"Mr. Xiao Yi, thank you so much for your help today—"

"You've worked hard. It's getting late, Mr. Xiao Yi. I hope you'll get some rest soon. I'll thank you properly tomorrow."

The Little Fairy Doctor smiled slightly and bowed gently.

"Young lady, you should get some rest too—"

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded in return.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor took a step back and left the room.

However, Xiao Yi was not sleepy at all at this moment.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Yi sneaked out of his room and arrived at a hilltop not far from Qingshan Town.

"Ancestor——"

Xiao Yi let out a soft cry.

Immediately, a red light flashed on Xiao Yi's storage ring.

Xiao Xuan's semi-transparent body then slowly emerged.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan tightly clutched the somewhat yellowed ancient scroll, the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram, in his hand.

"Ancestor——"

Seeing Xiao Xuan's somewhat dejected expression, Xiao Yi tentatively spoke again.

Xiao Xuan shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Little fellow, do you know about this Pure Lotus Demon Flame—"

Xiao Yi nodded: "Of course, isn't the Pure Lotus Demon Flame the third-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking—"

Xiao Xuan said again in a deep voice, "Then do you know Xiao Chen—"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi, though knowing the answer in his heart, still shook his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan sighed before continuing, "Xiao Chen is my cousin—"

"My relationship with him back then was like yours with Xiao Yan—"

"Back then, the two of us were known as having the most outstanding bloodline talent among the younger generation of the Xiao clan—"

"When I became the patriarch of the Xiao clan, I was a nine-star Dou Sheng, while Brother Chen, although a few years younger than me, has also reached the five-star Dou Sheng level!"

"Back then, among the eight ancient races, Brother Chen's reputation was equally formidable; he was known to the world as Blood Axe Xiao Chen!"

"Back then, we were seen as the future of the Xiao tribe!"

"Until I decided to gather the power of the entire clan's Dou Di bloodline to attempt to become a Dou Di, the clan elders initially disagreed, but only Brother Chen fully supported me—"

"Even if he knows that after using a secret method to strip away the Dou Di bloodline within him, his cultivation level will never be able to improve in this lifetime, unless I can successfully advance to Dou Di and bring a new Dou Di bloodline—"

"At the same time, when he learned that I would be gathering the power of the entire clan's Dou Di bloodline to go into seclusion and attempt to become a Dou Di, Brother Chen told me that he wanted to go out and find a different kind of fire to be the Xiao clan's inherited different kind of fire—"

"After all, the other races each have some high-level exotic flames that can be passed down through generations—"

"Therefore, Brother Chen could never let go of this matter. So after transferring his Dou Di bloodline to me, Brother Chen stepped out of the Xiao Realm to seek the strange fire he had always longed for—"

"Until I failed to break through to the Dou Di realm, and the Soul Clan seized the opportunity to try and destroy the Xiao Clan, Brother Chen never showed up!"

"Just now I sensed a trace of Brother Chen's aura on this scroll. He must have gone to find the Pure Lotus Demon Flame back then—"

"This is the first time in all these years that I've received any information about Chen Di—"

"But the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is the third-ranked Strange Flame, and its power is no less than that of a six-star Dou Sheng. Although Brother Chen is exceptionally talented, he is only at the mid-stage of a five-star Dou Sheng. Why would he want to subdue this Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?"

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, his eyes unconsciously fell on the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram in his hand.

In Xiao Xuan's mind, Xiao Chen had probably already perished because he was no match for the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.

Otherwise, with Xiao Chen's strength as a five-star Dou Sheng, the Xiao clan wouldn't have fallen into its current state.

That's why Xiao Xuan looked so dejected at this moment.

Xiao Xuan didn't know, but Xiao Yi knew very well.

Xiao Chen did not perish; he was simply trapped in the demonic fire space by the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire due to insufficient strength, and became a puppet.

"Ancestor, Ancestor Xiao Chen was a five-star Dou Sheng powerhouse, he shouldn't have fallen so easily—perhaps something just happened—"

"Now that we've confirmed that Xiao Chen's ancestor went to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, all we need to do is find the Pure Lotus Demon Flame and we'll know everything—"

Xiao Yi raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Xuan and spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan glanced at the waning moon overhead and said calmly, "The Pure Lotus Demon Flame is ranked third among the strange flames. This level of strange flame is incomparable to those ranked lower. Such a high-level strange flame has already developed sentience—"

"It's hard to find—and even if we found the exact location, with your abilities, little guy, there's no way you could get close—"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Then what about you, ancestor? —"

"You were once a half-step Dou Di, although your soul essence is now damaged and your strength is not as great as it was at its peak—"

"But please believe me, young man, I will definitely find a rare and precious material that can restore the origin of the soul and help our ancestors regain their soul power!"

Seeing Xiao Yi's serious and confident expression, Xiao Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly: "Little fellow! It seems the fate of the Xiao clan rests on your shoulders!"

"If we can really find Chen Di, and he's still alive!"

"Then the Xiao family can probably escape this small place, and their lives won't be so hard anymore—"

Xiao Yi nodded: "Ancestor, rest assured, with Ancestor Xiao Chen's strength, there are probably very few people on this continent who can surpass him."
