Something Finally Came of It

He knew those fellows had gone out to travel for five years.

After five years of traveling, they had all been brought back to their clans for training.

That said, what made Xiao Xuan happiest about this harvest was not the breakthrough in his cultivation, but the insight he had gained into One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

He looked at the Bodhi Seed in his hand. It had been gifted by the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

After offering a salute, his figure vanished as he teleported away.

Unlike when he had come, when he had fought desperately all the way, he simply teleported straight above Heaven Abandoned City on his return.

His cultivation was different now, so naturally, both his speed and methods had undergone tremendous changes.

Striking while the iron was hot, he spent two days refining several Bodhi Pills. Then he opened up a secret realm and entered it directly to comprehend One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

Within the secret realm, Xiao Xuan swallowed a Bodhi Pill and immediately began pondering how to successfully cultivate One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

A powerful body and soul were undoubtedly the fundamental prerequisites.

Over the years, his body had been tempered to a certain extent, while his soul had reached Heaven Tier Late Stage, only a single step away.

Immersed in his comprehension, Xiao Xuan seemed to have had an endlessly long dream, both real and illusory.

Within the dream, it seemed like a year, yet also ten years, perhaps even a hundred or a thousand years...

At some unknown point, two figures began to appear before Xiao Xuan. Though they were extremely illusory and could dissipate at any moment, this was still tremendous progress.

Moreover, the two figures were gradually becoming more solid.

The Bodhi Pills in his hand were consumed one by one, maintaining that state of heightened comprehension.

The secret realm was strange yet peaceful. When all the Bodhi Pills he had refined were used up and their effects faded, Xiao Xuan rubbed his weary eyes. Looking at the figures before him, he smiled. "As expected of a legendary Peerless Divine Ability. Greetings, you two. Have you thought of names for yourselves?"

The man in black smiled. "Talking to oneself is fucking weird. It feels like being a lunatic.

Xiao Li!"

"Xiao Yao!

Now that we have been born, there is much more we can plan, and it will be far more convenient to act.

Has the main body decided how to arrange us?"

Without even thinking, perhaps because he had long since made up his mind, Xiao Xuan said, "After traveling for a while longer, I'll return to the clan.

As for you two, go have fun in the Central Plains.

Oh, and don't use your real names. Change your appearances while you're at it.

I don't want my trump cards exposed yet."

"Haha, rest assured, main body. We had already thought of that.

We'll be off first. In any case, if something happens to any of us, we can communicate through our minds and everyone will know."

Xiao Yao lived up to his name, possessing a carefree and unfettered nature. After saying that, he changed his appearance, left the secret realm, and teleported away.

Watching Xiao Yao depart, Xiao Li bade farewell and left as well.

Watching the two great clones leave, Xiao Xuan smiled bitterly inwardly. As expected of a Peerless Divine Ability—these clones were far too independent, each with such a distinct personality.

Meanwhile, after the geniuses of the various Emperor Clans returned, word spread without wings that Xiao Xuan had become the greatest winner after the Bodhi Ancient Tree's appearance. The news traveled throughout the major Emperor Clans.

In particular, Hun Tiandi, the young master of the Hun Clan, and Gu Yuan, the Young Patriarch of the Gu Clan, refused to fall behind. Upon returning to their clans, they immediately announced that they would enter seclusion to challenge the Dou Saint realm.

Within Xiao Saint City of the Xiao Realm, in the depths of a magnificent palace, Xiao Feng and Gu Qin were teasing their precious daughter.

"That heartless brat has been gone for more than a decade without coming home even once.

When he gets back, I'll break his dog legs.

Still, with that brat's talent, after the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared this time, he should already be a Saint Level expert."

Though Gu Qin spoke that way, the pride on her face was impossible to conceal.

A Dou Saint in his twenties was exceedingly rare even among the Ancient Emperor Clans.

So long as such an existence did not die young, his future achievements would surely be extraordinary.

Xiao Xiong and the others might be Nine-Star and Eight-Star Dou Zuns, but cultivation and breakthroughs only became more difficult the further one advanced.

Even without slacking off, they would need at least another ten or even twenty years to break through to the Dou Saint realm.

Xiao Feng said, "That's for certain. That brat's talent is far greater than his old man's. Unlike me, I've never been able to break free of the Nine-Star shackles.

If not for building his foundation, that brat might have broken through long ago instead of only entering the Saint realm now."

At that, he was left speechless. That precious Bodhi Pill had been wasted for nothing.

Sure enough, a bottleneck that had remained unbroken for over a thousand years could not be resolved by one tiny pill.

"Daddy, Mommy, I want Big Brother!"

The Milk Baby was still happily playing with the toy in her arms. Upon hearing her parents talking about her brother, she could not help saying so.

The Void of the Xiao Realm rippled, and then a young man stepped out from a spatial rift.

"Cough, cough, Ruoruo, Big Brother is here. Come, let Big Brother hold you."

Xiao Ruoruo was not shy at all. She raised her head to look at this person she only vaguely remembered, opened her arms, and asked to be held.

"Big... Brother!"

"Haha, Ruoruo, Big Brother is here."

Xiao Feng said, "You brat, you finally came back. Not bad. Spatial teleportation—you really have become a Dou Saint."

Gu Qin said, "You brat still remembered the way home?

I thought you had already forgotten it."

Xiao Xuan looked embarrassed. "Mother, you're overthinking it. How could that be?

I also wanted to come home often, but exploring ruins, cultivating in seclusion, and other matters kept delaying me.

Don't worry. I'll definitely come back more often in the future."

"You still want to go out? You're already a Dou Saint, so why are you always thinking about the outside world?

Does the grand Xiao Realm make you feel so uncomfortable?"

Faced with Gu Qin's questioning, Xiao Xuan immediately denied it and said he would return as soon as he finished handling his affairs outside.

Xiao Feng said, "As the first Dou Saint of the younger generation, those old fellows and little brats should have nothing left to say.

How about it? Do you need me to summon the elders and settle the position of Young Patriarch?

Tell me honestly, what realm are you at, and what is your combat strength?"

"Shamefully, I've barely stepped into the Four-Star Dou Saint realm.

However, because my foundation is deep and my soul realm is barely adequate, ordinary Six-Star Dou Saints are not impossible for me to fight."

Seeing the smug look on his face and hearing his punchable tone, Xiao Feng and Gu Qin wanted to hit him no matter how proud they were of him.
