Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 7 The Imperial Son

Xiao Yan held the book carved from white jade in his hands, his handsome face filled with shock, his hands trembling slightly along with his body.

On the smooth, warm surface of the jade book, four large characters were clearly engraved.

Battle Through the Heavens!

There were also visitors from outer space. Did Xiao Xuan know that he had transmigrated? Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's gaze towards Xiao Xuan became filled with vigilance.

At this moment, all the experience and knowledge he had accumulated over forty years in his past and present lives could not suppress the fear in his heart.

"Hehe, don't be nervous."

Xiao Xuan seemed quite satisfied with Xiao Yan's expression at this moment, and chuckled, "Since I called you here, it means I have no ill intentions towards you."

Otherwise, do you think you'd still be alive?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's tense body finally relaxed slightly. He took a deep breath, and his gaze towards Xiao Xuan lost its flattery and worship, leaving only calmness and loneliness.

"If that's the case, then why did the Ancestor summon me here?"

Since things had come to this point, he was too lazy to pretend anymore. Whether you were a Battle Emperor or a Battle God, it made no difference.

Xiao Xuan didn't answer Xiao Yan directly. Instead, he asked with a profound look, "Do you think there really are different dimensions of spacetime, with different world lines in each spacetime?"

"Maybe."

Xiao Yan didn't know the answer to this question either.

Spacetime and dimensions are not professional terms that a Dou Di from the Dou Qi Continent should understand, nor are they things that a mediocre student like him could possibly master.

"Then how do you explain that you transmigrated from another world? And how do you explain that there is a story that can clearly and completely depict what happened on another Dou Qi Continent?"

Xiao Xuan smiled and said, "Do you think your journey from another world was really an accident? Perhaps it was fate's arrangement?" As he spoke, he looked up at the sky.

The azure roof of the grand hall, the sky of Xiao Realm, and the atmosphere of Dou Qi Continent could not obstruct his gaze. His gaze pierced straight ahead, ignoring all obstacles, and looked directly at the starry sky.

The ancient trajectories of the stars seem to reveal the past, present, and future of the universe.

Xiao Yan remained silent. He had pondered these questions for fifteen years, but due to his limited education, he had not been able to come up with a solution.

For the past fifteen years, although he has lived a comfortable life, he has always had a loneliness in his heart that does not belong to this world.

"This is for you." After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Xuan suddenly took out an ancient jade piece from his pocket.

"This is..." Xiao Yan stared at the ancient jade piece for a moment, a multitude of possibilities flashing through his mind, before slowly speaking, "The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade?"

"Hehe, so you do know the origin of this thing. Then you should also know what this ancient jade is for, right?" Xiao Xuan's face showed a satisfied expression as if his guess had been confirmed.

"I know," Xiao Yan replied softly.

"The Ancient Emperor Jade of Tuoshe is related to the inheritance of a Dou Di. Only by collecting all eight pieces of the Ancient Emperor Jade can one enter the Ancient Emperor's cave and obtain the Ancient Emperor's inheritance."

Although I am also a Dou Di, I still cannot open the Ancient Emperor's Cave without the Ancient Emperor Jade.

Even if I used the power of a Dou Di to force it open, I would probably offend this ancient emperor who has survived from ancient times, which is not the outcome I want.

Xiao Xuan said with a deep gaze, "A thousand years ago, I failed to break through to the Dou Di realm even after gathering the power of my entire clan's bloodline."

At the critical moment, this jade book descended from the sky, carrying a wisp of primordial energy, which allowed me to succeed by sheer luck.

"Perhaps the story in this book is about the changes in another Dou Qi Continent a thousand years later, and this timeline has been changed because of its arrival."

"It brought the primordial energy of heaven and earth." Xiao Yan's pupils shrank as he stared at the jade book on the ground for a long time without saying a word, his heart filled with turbulent waves.

"I destroyed the Soul Clan, but the Soul Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade has not been found."

Xiao Xuan's calm words surprised Xiao Yan once again; he actually knew something that even a Dou Di expert couldn't do.

"Ever since this book came into my life, I've been calculating and waiting for the arrival of an extraterrestrial visitor."

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Your arrival signifies the imminent emergence of a new Dou Di powerhouse."

Xiao Yan swallowed.

"I can't be sure if the future Dou Di powerhouse is you, but you are destined to be involved in this battle to become an emperor."

Although the Soul Emperor is dead, he left behind a contingency plan, the details of which I cannot even guess.

"Through the celestial phenomena, I have deduced that the descendants of the Soul Clan will inevitably participate in this struggle for the throne."

"Xiao Yan, I wish to bestow upon you the status of the Xiao Clan's Imperial Son. I wonder if you are willing to accept it?" Xiao Xuan's voice suddenly became much more serious.

"The Emperor's son?" Xiao Yan's breathing suddenly quickened.

The so-called "Emperor's Son" is a candidate for becoming a Dou Di (Battle Emperor), meaning that he has the potential to become a Dou Di.

In the past thousand years, the Xiao Clan has only produced two imperial princes, and both of them are now nine-star Dou Sheng.

Becoming the imperial son made him a figure of great prestige within the Xiao clan, second only to the patriarch, with a status almost equal to that of the current clan leader.

Although he is only a minor Dou Huang now, even Dou Sheng experts have to treat him with respect.

"I am just a minor Dou Huang. If I were to assume such a terrifying position as the Imperial Prince, it would probably attract the covetous eyes of others."

Calmness finally lingered in Xiao Yan's mind for a moment.

"Don't worry, you are the imperial son I personally appointed. No one in the Xiao clan dares to disobey my word."

Xiao Xuan spoke in a relaxed tone, but it was precisely this nonchalant manner that revealed the composure and domineering nature of this Dou Di powerhouse.

"Then I thank you for your kindness, Ancestor." After a moment of thought, Xiao Yan finally came to his senses from the series of shocks, and his usual playful smile reappeared on his face.

Looking at Xiao Yan's almost habitual pretense, Xiao Xuan shook his head indifferently, and tapped Xiao Yan's forehead with his finger, which Xiao Yan could not dodge.

"Buzz!" Streams of information flowed into Xiao Yan's mind through Xiao Xuan's fingers.

"Now that you have become the Emperor's son, you will be able to inherit my 'Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire'."

The "Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire" is a secret technique created by Xiao Xuan. Ordinary members of the Xiao clan can only learn the simplified version, while only the true core members of the Xiao clan are qualified to learn the complete version.

After the transmission of information was completed, Xiao Yan had a mysterious and profound mark on his forehead. This mark was the imperial son mark that only the imperial son of the Xiao clan could possess.

"The cultivation technique 'Burning Technique' is definitely real, and the strange fire will also be an aid on your path to growth."

"Go out into the world and gain real experience. Staying hidden under the protection of the Xiao clan will never make you a true eagle."

Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and waved his hand.

Suddenly, the space in front of him enveloped Xiao Yan like flowing water, and then took him away to Xiao Yan's astonishment.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour after Xiao Yan left that ten figures suddenly appeared around Xiao Xuan.

These ten people are the leaders of the ten imperial lineages.
