Back mountain.

At this moment, Hun Xiu sat cross-legged atop the back mountain. He absorbed the Dou Qi of heaven and earth, and with every breath, a terrifying aura spread outward.

The Dou Qi between heaven and earth gathered toward him, forming a Dou Qi storm. Centered on Hun Xiu, it took on the shape of a roaring tornado.

Gu Yuan and Soul Emperor stood in the distance, looking over at him. Gu Yuan could not help but feel shocked by the amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth Hun Xiu was absorbing.

He could not help clicking his tongue inwardly. "A mere Dou Emperor is actually able to devour and absorb so much Dou Qi of heaven and earth. Truly terrifying."

Given his knowledge and experience, he should not have been marveling over a mere Dou Emperor. But the amount of Dou Qi of heaven and earth Hun Xiu was absorbing was simply too terrifying, already comparable to that of a Dou Zong expert.

"I wonder what his actual strength is like?"

Soul Emperor stood beside Gu Yuan and said with a faint smile, "In a few days, it will be the day of our clan's competition. Wouldn't it be easy enough to find out how strong he is then?"

"Are there still any among the Hun Clan's younger generation who can withstand one move from him?" Gu Yuan looked at Soul Emperor and asked curiously.

The reason he had brought Gu Xun'er to the Hun Clan this time was, first, to let Xun'er meet her "fiancé," so that afterward she could go to the Xiao Clan and obtain the Tou She Ancient God Jade that belonged to the Xiao Clan.

Second, Gu Yuan knew that the Hun Clan's Clan Competition was about to begin. He could take the opportunity of this visit to see how the Hun Clan's younger generation was doing now. Gu Yuan was very curious about the Hun Clan's current foundation. Of course, a single Clan Competition could not reveal the Hun Clan's true foundation, but it could at least show him what the geniuses of the Hun Clan's younger generation were like.

How did they compare to the Gu Clan?

Upon hearing this, Soul Emperor smiled faintly. "There are several geniuses in my clan who have reached the Dou Emperor realm."

"Hm?"

Gu Yuan was slightly startled upon hearing Soul Emperor's words. "Has the Hun Clan's younger generation become this terrifying already?"

Though Dou Emperors were no different from ants in the eyes of people at their level, capable of being reduced to ashes with a flick of the finger.

If such a person came from the clan's younger generation, however, they could be considered a peerless genius of their era.

To possess such cultivation and strength at such a young age—wouldn't they become heaven-defying after a few more years?

Of course, that was assuming they did not die young. Otherwise? Heh...

Soul Emperor merely smiled without saying anything. There were indeed several members of the Hun Clan's younger generation at the Dou Emperor level.

And the reason they possessed the strength of Dou Emperors was inseparably connected to Hun Xiu.

Naturally, it was also inseparably connected to Soul Emperor himself.

Within the clan, Hun Xiu alone stood above the rest. His cultivation was terrifying, and he had never used the clan's cultivation resources or Heavenly Spiritual Treasures. By merely devouring and absorbing the Dou Qi between heaven and earth, he had reached his current realm.

When Soul Emperor saw that Hun Xiu had no use for the clan's Heavenly Spiritual Treasures and cultivation resources, he distributed some of them to the clan's gifted youths instead.

And these talented members of the younger generation had not disappointed him. In particular, Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and Hun Huan'er satisfied him greatly.

Thanks to receiving cultivation resources that had originally belonged to Hun Xiu, Hun Feng was now a Five-star Dou Emperor.

He was only nine years old. A nine-year-old Five-star Dou Emperor was someone who could make a name for himself among the younger generation of the Ancient Clans.

Soul Jade was slightly inferior to Hun Feng, possessing the strength of a Four-star Dou Emperor, but such strength was by no means weak.

Hun Huan'er was the weakest, currently only a Two-star Dou Emperor.

But compared to Hun Xiu atop the distant back mountain, those three had left Hun Xiu far behind with the clan's cultivation resources.

Hun Xiu was indeed a Dou Emperor now, but he was only a One-star Dou Emperor.

Yet strangely enough, Hun Xiu was merely a One-star Dou Emperor, but the amount of Dou Qi of heaven and earth he devoured was several times greater than that of Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and Hun Huan'er combined.

Their realms were clearly far apart, yet the amount of Dou Qi he devoured and absorbed was terrifying.

This left Soul Emperor deeply puzzled.

He could be certain that Hun Feng, Soul Jade, and Hun Huan'er had laid a solid foundation at every realm. Although they had consumed many Heavenly Spiritual Treasures, there had never been any instability in their cultivation.

Unable to understand it, he could only attribute it all to Hun Xiu's Transcendent Divine Bloodline "acting up."

After all, there had only ever been one known person with a "Transcendent Divine Bloodline" on the continent. There was no information whatsoever about Transcendent Divine Bloodlines in the known records.

What miraculous effects Hun Xiu's Transcendent Divine Bloodline possessed was still under observation.

"Hm?"

While cultivating, Hun Xiu sensed something approaching him. He could clearly sense its breathing.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A pair of large, round eyes was staring at him, while that chubby little face was practically about to make intimate contact with his cheek.

"Xun'er..."

After seeing clearly what the "thing" before him was, Hun Xiu hurriedly stopped forming his hand seals.

The Dou Qi storm around them also calmed at this moment. He looked at her and asked, "Why are you here?"

Hun Xiu was slightly surprised. He could sense that the little girl had not begun cultivating at all.

Yet she had actually ignored the Dou Qi storm around him and approached him. Moreover, the little girl had even managed to reach the back mountain.

This puzzled him. Hun San was hidden in the shadows and ordinarily would not show himself. At the mountaintop, there were now only the little girl and himself.

How she had gotten here was a mystery.

Or perhaps...

Hun Xiu looked in the direction of the clan. For the little girl to have come here, it was likely either his father's doing or his father-in-law's doing.

The little girl sat directly in the lap of the cross-legged Hun Xiu. Looking at the barren landscape below, she rested her little chin on her hand, pouted, and muttered, "Brother Xiu'er, do you especially dislike Xun'er?"

Hun Xiu: "..."

"Why would Xun'er think that?" Hun Xiu was briefly stunned before smiling and speaking slowly.

Dislike her? That simply did not exist. In the past, he might have disliked "Gu Xun'er," but that had been when he did not know the truth.

But now that he knew Gu Xun was Gu Xun'er, he did not dislike her at all. He was even faintly excited.

The little girl pouted, looking unhappy as she said, "Then can Brother Xiu'er play with Xun'er?"

"Hm?"

Upon hearing the little girl's words, Hun Xiu lifted her high into the air. "What? Does Xun'er want me to play with you?"

"Mm."

The little girl was not afraid at all when Hun Xiu lifted her up. She blinked her big eyes, nodded, and looked adorably at Hun Xiu. "Can Brother Xiu'er be a horse and let Xun'er ride him?"

Hun Xiu: "..."
