Dou Di Bloodline Reversion to Ancestry?!

A moment later,

Xiao Cang had completely devoured and refined the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, making it his own.

His cultivation broke through to Six-star Dou Huang at the final instant, while the Supreme Flame God Canon was pushed by the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to a level infinitely close to an Advanced Super Heavenly Tier cultivation method.

"Boom!"

Xiao Cang's aura swept out once more, its terrifying pressure leaving everyone in the Xiao Family trembling in fear.

On the Xiao Family's training grounds, Xiao Mei, who had been cultivating, wore an expression of shock and longing on her lovely face, which was both youthful and alluring.

Such a powerhouse was the one she admired most.

"Brother Xiao Cang..."

Xiao Mei gently bit her thin lip and murmured softly.

She felt more and more that currying favor with Xiao Cang had been an extremely wise decision.

At this moment, she even felt that it no longer mattered whether she joined the Misty Cloud Sect. As long as she could stay by Xiao Cang's side in the future, would she still need to worry about becoming stronger?

Outside the Xiao Family.

"This aura is at least at the level of a five- or six-star Dou Huang."

"What kind of opportunity did that brat encounter to advance so quickly?!"

"Wait, could it be... his Dou Di Bloodline has reverted to its ancestry?"

Ling Ying suddenly frowned as he considered this possibility.

Dou Di Bloodline reversion to ancestry was not particularly rare. Among the various Ancient Families, descendants with high-quality Dou Di Bloodlines often suddenly emerged from collateral branches whose bloodlines had originally been thin.

Ling Ying had not considered it earlier because the Xiao Clan had declined for too long. The Dou Di Bloodline within the Xiao Family was almost nonexistent, so the odds of a bloodline reversion should have been minuscule.

Yet Xiao Cang's current performance made Ling Ying increasingly certain that it was a case of Dou Di Bloodline reversion to ancestry.

"Should I report this to the clan leader?"

"Uncle Ying."

At that moment, a cool and graceful figure appeared beside him.

"Miss Xun'er."

The newcomer was Xun'er.

Xun'er came to Ling Ying's side, then turned to look in the direction of Xiao Cang's room, affection filling her eyes.

"Uncle Ying, what do you think of Brother Xiao Cang?" After gazing longingly for a while, Xun'er suddenly asked.

Ling Ying pondered for a moment before answering solemnly, "Xiao Cang's talent is exceptional. Even across the entire continent, he is an exceedingly rare, peerless genius."

"Yes, Brother Xiao Cang's talent is exceptional. Across the entire continent, I fear no one can compare to him." Xun'er repeated those words, love welling up in her beautiful eyes as her curled lashes fluttered. Then her tone abruptly changed. "Then, Uncle Ying, what do you think would happen if Father or some of those old stubborn fools in the clan learned of Brother Xiao Cang's talent?"

"This..."

A grave expression appeared on Ling Ying's face.

Before he had come to the Xiao Clan to protect Xun'er, he had heard certain secrets from an elder of the Gu Clan.

Back then, the Xiao Clan's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, had also been a peak Dou Saint powerhouse. Yet in order to save the Xiao Family's Dou Di Bloodline, Xiao Xuan had decided to stake everything on breaking through to the Dou Di realm.

Before entering seclusion, Xiao Xuan had entrusted the Xiao Family to the Gu Clan.

But after Xiao Xuan failed to break through, the Gu Clan not only failed to honor its agreement to protect the Xiao Family, but after the Xiao Family declined, it even set its sights on the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

In other words, in the eyes of many important figures within the Gu Clan, their relationship with the Xiao Family was extremely awkward.

If they learned that Xiao Cang might have undergone a Dou Di Bloodline reversion to ancestry... they might fear that once Xiao Cang grew stronger in the future, he would become enemies with the Gu Clan because it had broken its promise all those years ago.

If that happened...

"Xiao Cang may face a threat to his life," Ling Ying said gravely.

"A threat to his life."

The moment Xun'er heard those four words, her cool temperament abruptly changed.

Her gaze turned sharp, and her voice became icy. "Then Uncle Ying should understand that Xun'er will never allow anyone to harm Brother Xiao Cang. So, Uncle Ying, do you understand what I mean?"

Ling Ying's body trembled. He immediately understood and solemnly stated, "Rest assured, Miss Xun'er. My mission is only to protect your safety. Everything else... has nothing to do with me."

"If that is the case, then Xun'er will thank Uncle Ying on Brother Xiao Cang's behalf."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's sharp aura faded, and she smiled warmly at Ling Ying.

"Miss Xun'er, you are too kind. It is simply my duty." Sweat beaded on Ling Ying's forehead.

"It is good that Uncle Ying understands."

Xun'er brushed a strand of black hair by her ear and smiled radiantly before returning to the Xiao Family with light, cheerful steps.

Ling Ying watched Xun'er's departing figure, then glanced toward Xiao Cang's room and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"I never expected Miss Xun'er's first time pressuring me would be for that brat... sigh!"

Inside the room, Xiao Cang withdrew his aura.

"Six-star Dou Huang!"

Xiao Cang was exhilarated.

However, before he could even feel the aura surging through his body like a rushing river, he flew directly out of the room.

He naturally knew that the aura he had just released would certainly alert Ling Ying.

To prevent Ling Ying from reporting the matter to the Gu Clan, he had to meet Ling Ying and persuade him not to inform the Gu Clan. At the very least, not for now.

If necessary, he would consider using his strength to make Ling Ying agree.

However, the moment he rushed out the door, he saw a delicate young woman seated in the courtyard. Her temperament was cool and elegant, like a pure lotus, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Brother Xiao Cang." The moment Xun'er saw Xiao Cang, she immediately rose happily to her feet.

"Xun'er."

When Xiao Cang saw Xun'er, a sincere smile appeared on his face as well.

"Why are you here?"

He walked over and directly wrapped an arm around Xun'er's slender waist.

"What, can't Xun'er come because she missed you?" Xun'er looped her jade-like arms around Xiao Cang's neck and spoke softly.

"Of course you can. By the way, Xun'er, summon Ling Ying. I have something to discuss with him," Xiao Cang said.

Xun'er smiled as though seeking praise. "If Brother Xiao Cang wants Uncle Ying to keep your breakthrough a secret, there is no need. Xun'er already reminded Uncle Ying just now."

Xiao Cang was startled, then laughed.

This little girl Xun'er was truly thoughtful.

He reached out and gently rubbed Xun'er's little head, saying fondly, "Our Xun'er treats her husband so well."

"Of course." Xun'er wore a blissful smile as well.

Since there was no longer any need for him to handle Ling Ying's matter personally, Xiao Cang returned to his room.

He spread open his right palm, and a cluster of pale white flames leaped forth. Its bone-piercing cold made it seem less like a flame and more like a piece of ten-thousand-year ice essence.

"Three Heavenly Flames now."

With a thought from Xiao Cang, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame and Nether Poison Fire appeared as well.

The three Heavenly Flames floated before him, each radiating incomparably terrifying fluctuations!

"If I use the Five-Wheel Departing Fire Method again, its power will directly approach that of a Low-grade Heaven Tier Dou Technique!"

Xiao Cang's eyes gleamed with excitement. Only after admiring them for a while longer did he satisfactorily put away the Heavenly Flames and look at Yao Chen again.

Having lost the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Yao Chen had become even weaker. His Soul Body was so transparent that it was nearly nonexistent.

He looked as though a gust of wind could scatter Yao Chen completely.

"How pitiful."

Xiao Cang shook his head sympathetically and casually sent a mass of Dou Qi into Yao Chen's body, restoring some of his Soul Power. Only then did Yao Chen's transparent soul become slightly more solid, though he remained extremely weak.

"Forget it. For the sake of your usefulness, I shall grant you an imprint of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame."

As Xiao Cang spoke, he pressed two fingers against the center of Yao Chen's Soul Body's brow.

At once, a pale, cold flame mark lit up between Yao Chen's brows. Xiao Cang revealed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame once more, and the pale white Fire Lotus split off a spark that fused into Yao Chen's body.

"Thank you, Master."

After Yao Chen respectfully expressed his gratitude, pale, cold firelight spread from between his brows and wrapped around his illusory Soul Body. Only then did his listless state improve somewhat.

"Mm."

Xiao Cang nodded, then swept his sleeve and returned Yao Chen to the Storage Ring.

As for the other treasures within the Storage Ring, Xiao Cang did not inspect them one by one.

That was because he already possessed many powerful Dou Techniques and had no need to learn others.

Furthermore, the Dou Techniques he received from the system were mastered automatically. If he studied Dou Techniques himself, he would have to begin from scratch, and that would be far too slow.

The many medicinal pills and treasures within could be sorted through gradually in the future. Those he had no use for could be used to strengthen the Xiao Family and the Misty Cloud Sect.

After all, to him, the Xiao Family and the Misty Cloud Sect were his foundations. If he established a force in the future, the Xiao Family and the Misty Cloud Sect would certainly be included.

And Yao Chen's treasures would be enough to provide him with an extremely abundant foundation in the early stages of building his power.

But for now...

Xiao Cang gathered his thoughts and looked calmly outside. "I've been back in Wutan City for so long. It's time to begin setting things in order."
