Dou Emperor Bloodline

"Call!"

Xiao Yuan snapped out of his daze after his sudden surge in strength, feeling his greatly enhanced physical power and the vast Dou Qi in his Qi Mansion. He felt refreshed and invigorated.

Thanks to this drop of Heavenly Demon Phoenix Blood Essence and the awakening of his bloodline, Xiao Yuan successfully advanced to the Dou Zong despite not having made any deliberate preparations.

This process is somewhat miraculous. Xiao Yuan did not actively guide it, but the high temperature environment in his body drew out the Shao Yang Prime Fire energy hidden in his internal organs. Under the catalysis of the Heavenly Flames, it formed a golden-red flame that was the same color as the bloodline that Xiao Yuan had awakened.

The fusion of the four flames transforms the original Cyan-Brown Flame into a dark gold color, giving them a mysterious and noble appearance.

When Xiao Yuan came to his senses, he saw that Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were both staring at him blankly.

?

Xiao Yuan blinked and lowered his head.

The clothes weren't blown up, and there was no dirt on my body.

Why are you looking at me like that? Xiao Yuan raised his head and saw that Yao Lao had floated in front of him with a "whoosh" and was staring at his forehead, examining it carefully.

"Teacher?"

Xiao Yuan called out softly.

"You brat, how did you awaken the Dou Emperor Bloodline?"

Upon hearing about Yao Lao's Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in surprise.

"The Dou Emperor Bloodline???"

Although Xiao Yan didn't know the specifics, judging from the literal meaning, anyone who could be associated with Dou Di must be extraordinary! "Teacher, I only vaguely know that the Xiao Clan had such a powerful figure in the past, but that was a long, long time ago. You know the situation of the Xiao Clan. Anyone with Dou Emperor Bloodline would never be reduced to living in a small, remote corner of the Jia Ma Empire."

Xiao Yuan hadn't expected things to turn out this way either.

Logically speaking, the Dou Emperor Bloodline of the Xiao Clan to the Dou Di level should have been exhausted long ago. After so many years of wandering, there are hardly any talented individuals left.

Xiao Yuan's generation is alright, but apart from Xiao Yan and Xiao Yuan, the talents of the others are basically only enough to reach the level of Dou Wang, and at most they can reach Dou Emperor through other opportunities.

But if we're talking about going any further, the resources of the Jia Ma Empire are simply not enough to achieve that.

But Xiao Yuan really didn't understand how he managed to produce the Dou Emperor Bloodline. He just felt that he had it, so he tried it with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Blood Essence. He thought that if he really had the Dou Emperor Bloodline, he couldn't just watch the essence blood of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix erode his own bloodline. As a result, he actually produced it, and judging from its golden-red color, its grade was not low.

"Teacher, what exactly is this Dou Emperor Bloodline?"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask from the side.

Upon hearing this, the Yao Lao did not immediately answer. A look of reminiscence appeared in his cloudy old eyes, and then he slowly spoke:

"Legend has it that if a person can reach the Dou Emperor Tier, their bloodline will change, and their descendants will benefit from it. In ancient times, there were many Dou Di races. Although they were also human, they had unique talents in cultivation."

Some lucky individuals may even inherit some of the abilities of Dou Di from their bloodline, but this is extremely rare and depends entirely on individual chance.

When Yao Lao mentioned the title "Dou Di," his words were filled with undisguised awe, a respect for the strongest being in this world.

"In ancient times, there were quite a few races with the Dou Emperor Bloodline, but as time went by, only eight of them survived, which were called the Ancient Eight Clans. But I don't know exactly which races they are."

However, Xiao Yan, your little girlfriend should be one of them, a top figure among the Ancient Clan. In that case, perhaps your Xiao Clan —no, the Xiao Clan— was once one of them, otherwise there would be no reason for the Ancient Clan to send her to your home."

Upon hearing the news about Xun'er, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

Seemingly knowing what Xiao Yan was thinking, Yao Lao didn't hide anything and said calmly:

"I know you want to go to the Ancient Clan to find that girl, but I advise you to cultivate to the Dou Zun first. If I'm not mistaken, the Ancient Clan is full of powerful people, including many super strong people at the level of Dou Sheng."

Those who reach the Dou Sheng level are practically at the pinnacle of the Douqi Continent. This level is considered transcendent, and their abilities are naturally unimaginable to ordinary people. The ability to carve out a habitable space from the Void Space is the hallmark of Dou Sheng Expert.

The Yao Lao sighed, a hint of longing in his voice:

"And this Ancient Clan must be the ancient realm built by the Dou Sheng level in the past generations within the Ancient World Ancient Clan. After countless years of reinforcement and expansion, it is probably enough to contain dozens of the Jia Ma Empire! "Xiao Yan took a deep breath. Opening up space, such a terrifying thing, is it really something that human beings can do? Dou Sheng Expert have actually become so strong that it is unbelievable? Just thinking about that terrifying ability to tear space apart with a wave of the hand, Xiao Yan felt a slight tremor.

If even Dou Sheng is like this, how terrifying must an even stronger Dou Di be? Compared to this, the mysterious thing that Yao Lao said about Dou Di powerhouses being able to change their bloodlines doesn't seem to be just a fantasy.

But even so, their Xiao Clan should have lost the Dou Emperor Bloodline long ago, so what's the deal with Third Brother's so-called awakened bloodline?

Xiao Yan's eyes grew increasingly confused.

"The teacher seems to know quite a bit about these Ancient Eight Clans. Could it be?"

Although Xiao Yuan knew some things about Yao Lao, he couldn't reveal them; these things couldn't be explained.

"Little fellow, you are indeed very perceptive. You are right. I am indeed from one of the Ancient Eight Clans, the Yao Clan. But hehe, a long time ago, I was abandoned by the Yao Clan. What's more, the Dou Emperor Bloodline in my body is almost gone!"

Yao Lao glanced at the two disciples in front of him and grinned, but the sorrow in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Hehe, they're blind! With your amazing alchemy skills, Teacher, I think you'd be an absolute standout even among the Ancient Eight Clans that have Dou Sheng Expert!"

Xiao Yuan sneered upon hearing this.

"Third Brother is right. Missing out on such an outstanding member of the clan as our teacher is a loss and a regret for the Yao Clan, but it is not our teacher's regret. Because in the future we will prove that if the people of the Yao Clan had not been blind, Third Brother and I would not have met our teacher and become strong individuals that they would have to take seriously!"

Xiao Yan chimed in from the side.

"Haha, you're all good disciples, good kids!"

The Yao Lao was immediately moved to tears. The sincere eyes and firm determination of his two disciples always touched him deeply.

More importantly, he firmly believed that these two children would eventually reach the heights he could not achieve in his lifetime and become true powerhouses! After a moment of reflection and sorrow, Yao Lao came back to his senses, placed his hand on Xiao Yuan's body, felt the fiery bloodline of Xiao Yuan, and couldn't help but nod.

"Indeed, it has the taste of Dou Emperor Bloodline, and the grade is not low. This will speed up your cultivation of Dou Qi, and can to some extent make up for the problem that your five Qi Mansion are limited in their cultivation speed."

The Yao Lao nodded, his expression showing considerable relief.

Although Xiao Yuan's five Qi Mansion do not seem to have significantly affected his cultivation speed so far, this is only in comparison to ordinary people.

With advanced cultivation techniques, abundant medicinal resources, and Dou Qi resources, Xiao Yuan has only just advanced to the Dou Zong. To be honest, this speed is not considered fast among the Ancient Eight Clans.

As strength increases, the amount of Dou Qi required also increases, and even Earth Rank Advanced techniques will gradually become insufficient.

By then, it will be extremely difficult for Xiao Yuan to improve his strength in the same way he does now!

Fortunately, the awakening of the Dou Emperor Bloodline can at least guarantee Xiao Yuan's cultivation speed before he becomes Dou Sheng.

This is the real good news for him.

In addition, Clan Mark are also a problem.

Xiao Yuan will still have to make a trip to the Heavenly Tomb.

"As for why this bloodline awakened, after much thought, I can only conclude that it is due to a return to one's ancestral origins."

After a moment of silence, the Yao Lao continued.

"However, this idea was more common in the past, or rather, it was a concept that existed entirely in the Beast Realm. If a magical beast possessed a trace of Ancient Exotic Beast bloodline had the right opportunity and good luck, it would have a chance to experience Bloodline Restoration, awaken the Ancient Exotic Beast bloodline within its body, gain some of the special abilities of the Ancient Exotic Beast, or, in other words, evolve into Ancient Exotic Beast."

But whether this phenomenon also exists among humans, I have never actually studied.

After saying this, the Yao Lao shook his head.

He was also quite surprised by Xiao Yuan's awakened bloodline.

"Perhaps it's a case of atavism."

Xiao Yuan wasn't too bothered by what he heard. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing. He could get some Emperor Grade Pill, take them to advance to Dou Di, truly activate his bloodline, and then see how things went.

As for the present, I still need to cultivate myself.

Speaking of which, there are two old men waiting for me to dig them out from under the lava at the Jia Nan Academy. Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through his mind.

With Xiao Yuan's problem temporarily resolved, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan didn't linger for further conversation and went back to continue their cultivation.

Xiao Yan still needs to study the newly acquired Six Directions Body Roaming Ruler carefully. Yao Lao also used to play with the Mystic Heavy Ruler, so he naturally studied it along with him.

As for Xiao Yuan, he needs to familiarize himself with his own Dou Qi.

His Dou Qi has increased too rapidly lately; he needs to hone it properly.

"You want to go to the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda?"

The next day, in the brightly lit study, Su Qian heard the requests from Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan, two cultivation fanatics. He immediately stopped what he was doing, looked up, and said in a daze.

Seeing Su Qian's appearance, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan exchanged a smile and then said, "Great Elder, although that place is extremely violent, the Fire Attribute Energy it contains is indeed extremely pure. For those who cultivate fire attribute techniques, it is no less than some blessed lands with abundant energy. As for the violent nature of the energy, it poses no threat to us. That place is the birthplace of the Fallen Heart Flame, and now the Fallen Heart Flame has been completely refined. We also have Heavenly Flames, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Upon hearing this, Su Qian frowned slightly, put down the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at the two brothers' confident expressions. He could only nod and say, "Alright, since you insist, then so be it. However, I must remind you in advance that the Magma World is not as peaceful as you expect. If you find anything amiss, come back immediately. I will arrange for the Inner Academy to guard the cave entrance at any time."

"Thank you Great Elder." Upon seeing Su Qian nod in approval, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan immediately smiled and clasped their hands in thanks.

"Sigh, you two little rascals, you can never stay still. Come with me."

Su Qian shook his head and sighed, then sat up from the chair and walked out of the study, followed closely by the brothers Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.

After leaving the study, Xiao Yan and Su Qian walked slowly out of the Elder Council area, strolled through the Inner Academy for a while, and then entered the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda, which broke off a large section of the ground.

Now that the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda has been subdued by the Fallen Heart Flame, it can only project a Sub-flame onto the Heart Flame, which has greatly weakened its effect. As a result, it has lost its bustling atmosphere. Most of the people who are still cultivating here now are just looking for the tranquility. Of course, the weakened Heart Flame still has some effect, which is better than nothing.

Another point is that, no matter what, the Fire Attribute Energy inside the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda is always much stronger than that outside. After all, the vast Magma World beneath it constantly emanates powerful Fire Attribute Energy. Although this energy is isolated by hundreds of feet of land, some still seeps out. Therefore, the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda is now considered a relatively good place for many students who practice fire attribute techniques.

About ten minutes later, the three of them appeared at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Because of the previous outbreak of the Fallen Heart Flame, the bottom door had been tightly sealed. However, as Xiao Yan subdued the Fallen Heart Flame, the defense of the bottom was no longer as tight as before, but it still had not been opened and remained sealed until now.

"The absence of the Fallen Heart Flame has brought a lot of inconvenience, but at least it has put our minds at ease. We used to worry that it would suddenly erupt one day, which made us very uneasy." Su Qian unlocked the large iron lock on the iron gate, turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yan, "So your ability to subdue this thing has saved us a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded silently. He understood that Su Qian was saying this to prevent him from being too bothered by the fact that he had subdued the Fallen Heart Flame of the Inner Academy. He was slightly moved and smiled, "Don't worry, Great Elder, I will do my best to create an inexhaustible Heart Flame for the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda."

Xiao Yuan, standing to the side, looked slightly strange upon hearing this. If he remembered correctly, if he hadn't resolved the troubles of the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan would have Great Elder for a long time, causing the already fragile Heart Flame of the Inner Academy to be extinguished for a period of time.

But things are alright for now. He'll just have to go down and retrieve the nascent Fallen Heart Flame later.
