Battle Through the Heavens: Emperor's Son Xiao Yan

Chapter 8 The Library

Among these ten people, even the weakest one has reached the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. The so-called Seven-Star Dou Sheng being able to establish an imperial lineage is just a saying.

"Ancestor, is the future of our clan really going to be handed over to this child?" Some elders wondered, while others were unwilling to accept it.

Divine bloodlines are indeed a once-in-a-century occurrence, but who among us isn't? Why is this kid so highly regarded by the ancestor?

It should be noted that the leaders of the two major royal lineages only received the title of Emperor's Son after becoming Dou Sheng. So what if a mere Dou Huang has extraordinary talent?

The Xiao clan, with its Dou Di bloodline, has no shortage of geniuses.

"Not bad." Xiao Xuan's gaze was deep as he said calmly, "Not long ago, I spent a lot of effort conducting a divination, and the conclusion I reached was that this child has the potential to become an emperor in the future."

After saying that, he sighed and said, "As you all know, I have been stationed in the Emperor Realm for a thousand years."

Whether it's ancient secrets or the Dou Di's perception of this world, they all tell me that on the Dou Qi Continent, there is an even more vast world, and above the Dou Di, there are even higher realms.

"Long ago, I could have gone to that wider world, but for the sake of my people, I cannot leave. If I leave, my people will once again face the crisis of depleting their bloodline power."

Therefore, I have been waiting, waiting for a new Dou Di powerhouse to be born in my clan.

"Now, this opportunity has come." He sighed deeply, a rare hint of weariness appearing on his face, which had been calm for a thousand years.

A moment later, the weariness disappeared, leaving only a calm yet domineering voice: "The matter of Xiao Yan was decided by me personally. Before he becomes a Dou Sheng, none of you are allowed to target him."

If I discover that you've been secretly tampering with things, you're dead!

As soon as he finished speaking, the ten clan leaders trembled.

Nine-star Dou Sheng are indeed powerful, representing the pinnacle of Dou Qi Continent, but Xiao Xuan has killed more than one nine-star Dou Sheng.

The ambitious and talented Emperor Hun Tian, ​​who lived a thousand years ago, ultimately fell at the hands of Xiao Xuan. Even the Hun Clan, which once rivaled the Xiao Clan, was almost wiped out.

With just one sentence from Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan's status underwent a dramatic change. Two days later, the guards at his door were changed from Dou Zong to Half Saint.

"Commander-in-Chief, Second Commander, what brings you to my doorstep?" Xiao Zhan said with a smile to his two superiors.

"Don't call us that, we can't accept it." The two demigods quickly cupped their hands and said to Xiao Zhan, "Congratulations, brother! You've truly given birth to a genius!"

"From this day forward, the two of us will be the Emperor's guards."

Xiao Wu and Xiao Wen were initially reluctant to be assigned as guards to a young Dou Huang. So what if they had divine bloodlines?

I am a semi-saint, not a doorman's dog!

However, when the Dou Sheng elder said that Xiao Yan was the third imperial son appointed by the ancestor, the two half-saints quickly went to serve as his guards.

Serving as a guard for the emperor's son—can that be called being a watchdog? That's called being a protector of the Way!

The Xiao Clan is full of experts. Half-Saints are powerful figures who can make waves in the outside world, but in the Xiao Clan, they don't even have the right to meet the Ancestor.

The fact that he was designated as the Emperor's Son by the Ancestor at the Douhuang stage is enough to show how much the Ancestor valued this child.

And so, Xiao Yan rose to become the third imperial son of the Xiao clan, the most outstanding second-generation figure in the Dou Qi Continent.

In Xiao Lin's room, under a dark sky with few stars.

"Yan'er! According to the Ancestor, you can leave the Xiao Realm to explore starting tomorrow. From what you've said, you want to go to the Northwest Continent?"

Xiao Yan nodded. His target was indeed the Northwest Continent, specifically the Gamma Empire. He wanted to see if there was a place called Wutan City and if there was a kid named Hun Yan there.

If so, we must strike first and eliminate him!

Of course, he also wanted to see if there were any alluring auctioneers in Wutan City, any pure and gentle fairy healers in Qingshan Town, any noble and enchanting queens among the snake people, and any graceful and beautiful sect leader among the Yunlan Sect.

As for Xun'er of the ancient clan, judging from Xiao Xuan's words, it seems that he has already discussed with Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the ancient clan, and is preparing to have Xun'er come to the Xiao clan for a marriage alliance. The marriage partner is naturally him, the imperial prince.

This secretly pleased Xiao Yan, who marveled at how insightful his ancestor was.

"Sigh." Xiao Lin, who had been silent all along, suddenly sighed.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Looking at Xiao Lin's expression, Xiao Yan felt as if he had forgotten a bit of the plot.

Xiao Lin glanced at his grandson and said, "When I was young, I traveled to the Northwest Continent and was ambushed and seriously injured by the remnants of the Soul Clan."

Fortunately, I was saved in the Gamma Empire by a man named Nalan Jie. To express my gratitude, I promised to arrange a marriage between you and her granddaughter.

"As expected." Xiao Yan's heart stirred, and he realized that a section about the "thirty years of prosperity" was missing, which was a crucial step.

"However, now that the ancestor wants to arrange a marriage between you and an ancient clan, little girl from the Nalan family, you should probably give up. A marriage between two ancient clans, even the smallest ripple of profit would be enough to destroy the Nalan family."

"On this trip, take some substantial gifts and go to annul this engagement."

Xiao Lin sighed, and seeing Xiao Yan's strange expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you also think Grandpa did something wrong?"

"No, Grandpa, I think you did the right thing."

Xiao Yan composed himself and said seriously, "A marriage between two ancient clans will only lead to the destruction of a small family caught in the middle. Annulling the engagement is the best way to protect them."

"Sigh." Xiao Lin sighed again.

"Give them some compensation, and tell Nalan Jie that I, the old man, have wronged him."

"I understand." Xiao Yan nodded slightly, but felt a strange feeling in his heart.

The following day, deep within the Xiao Realm, Xiao Yan changed into an even more exquisite black robe and, followed by two half-saints, arrived at the core of the Xiao Realm.

The two semi-saints were named Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu. Like Xiao Niu and Xiao Ma, they were brothers, but their status and position were worlds apart.

"Young Master, this is the Scripture Repository," said Xiao Wen, whose expression was rather serene.

Before them stood a magnificent nine-story hall, nearly ten thousand feet long, wide, and long, and as tall as a small mountain.

"Truly worthy of being the treasure trove of our clan's millennia-old heritage!" Xiao Yan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he gazed at the magnificent hall before him.

Such a magnificent hall was not even found on Earth in its previous life.

At the entrance of the main hall, an old man dressed in a hemp robe sat on a prayer mat, his eyes still sleepy, as if he were taking a nap.

"Young Master, this is Elder Qing, who guards the Scripture Hall. Elder Qing is a Seven-Star Dou Sheng. Although he is not the head of the Imperial Clan, he is still a Supreme Elder of our clan," Xiao Wen introduced.

"It seems that even a Seven-Star Dou Sheng can not necessarily open the imperial vein. The Xiao Clan is truly full of hidden talents." Xiao Yan was secretly shocked.

The Xiao clan's elite ranks are also divided into different levels, except for the Dou Di ancestor Xiao Xuan.

They are roughly divided into two levels: clan leaders and imperial princes (except for Xiao Yan, all of whom are nine-star Dou Sheng).

The first level of the Imperial Lineage (at least a Dou Sheng of seven stars or above).

Supreme Elder (Five-Star Dou Sheng or above)

Elder, Pulse Master Level 1 (Ordinary Battle Saint)

Elder or Venerable One (Fighting Venerable)

First-level Dharma Protector or Deacon (Dou Zong).

As for Dou Huang and Dou Wang, they only belong to ordinary clansmen who have just escaped the status of being descendants. Below them are ordinary descendants who are not qualified to be included in the clan genealogy.

Before he could marvel at the power of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan slowly walked forward and looked at the sleepy-eyed old man, saying, "Elder Qing, this junior would like to go in and select a few cultivation techniques and fighting skills."

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Elder Qing, who had been dozing on the futon, finally opened his eyes completely.

He looked at the flames on Xiao Yan's forehead and slowly said, "You must be the new Imperial Prince."

The new book's official message has arrived; the contract will be signed soon. Dear readers, why not quickly invest and earn some coins?
