Success at Last

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

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

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

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 arrived, when he had fought for his life, he simply teleported directly above Heaven Abandoned City on his way back.

With a different cultivation level, his speed and methods had naturally undergone earth-shaking changes.

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 the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities technique.

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

A powerful physical body and soul were undoubtedly the fundamental prerequisites.

Over the years, his body had been tempered to a considerable extent, while his soul had reached the Heaven Tier Late Stage, only a step away from the next level.

Immersed in his comprehension, Xiao Xuan felt as if he had had an exceedingly long dream, both real and unreal.

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

At some unknown point, two figures began to appear before Xiao Xuan. Though they were incredibly illusory and could disperse at any moment, this was already enormous progress.

Moreover, the two figures were gradually solidifying.

One Bodhi Pill after another was consumed, and that state of heightened comprehension continued.

The aura in the secret realm was strange yet tranquil. When all the refined Bodhi Pills had been used up and their effects faded, Xiao Xuan rubbed his weary eyes, looked at the two figures before him, and smiled. "As expected of a legendary supreme divine ability. Greetings, you two. Have you decided on your names?"

The man in black smiled. "Talking to myself is fucking strange. It makes me seem like a madman.

Xiao Li!"

"Xiao Yao!

Now that we have been born, there is much more we can plan, and many things will be more convenient.

Has the original body decided how to arrange us?"

Without even thinking, perhaps because he had long since made the decision, Xiao Xuan said, "I will travel for a while longer before returning to the clan.

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

Oh, and do not use your real names. Change your appearances as well.

I do not want my trump cards exposed yet."

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

We will be leaving first. In any case, if any of us needs something, we can communicate in our minds and everyone will know."

True to his name, Xiao Yao had a personality inclined toward freedom and ease. After saying that, he changed his appearance, left the secret realm, and teleported away.

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

As he watched his two great clones leave, Xiao Xuan smiled bitterly inwardly. As expected of a supreme divine ability—these clones were far too independent, with such distinct personalities.

Meanwhile, after the geniuses of the various Emperor Clans returned, word spread like wildfire that Xiao Xuan had become the greatest winner after the Bodhi Ancient Tree appeared. The news spread throughout the Emperor Clans.

Hun Tiandi, the young master of the Hun Clan, and Gu Yuan, the Young Patriarch of the Gu Clan, were especially unwilling to fall behind. Upon returning to their clans, they immediately announced that they were entering seclusion to break through to 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 ten years without coming home even once.

When he returns, I will break his damned legs.

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

Though Gu Qin said this, the pride on her face could not be concealed in the slightest.

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

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

Xiao Xiong and the others might be Eight-Star or Nine-Star Dou Zuns, but the further one progressed, the harder cultivation and breakthroughs became.

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 is certain. That brat's talent far surpasses mine. Unlike me, I have never been able to break free from the shackles of the Nine-Star realm.

If he had not been building up his foundation, he might have broken through long ago instead of only entering the Saint realm now."

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

Sure enough, a bottleneck that had not been broken through for over a thousand years could not be resolved by a mere pill.

"Daddy, Mommy, I want Big Brother!"

The Milk Baby was still happily playing with the toy in her arms. Upon hearing her father speak, she could not help saying so.

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

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

Xiao Ruoruo was not shy around strangers. She raised her head to look at this vaguely familiar person, 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, you still remembered the way home?

I thought you had already forgotten it."

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

I want to come home often too, but I have frequently been delayed by things like exploring ruins and cultivating in seclusion.

Rest assured, I will definitely come back often in the future."

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

Does this grand Xiao Realm really make you so ill at ease?"

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

What do you think? Do you need me to summon the elders and settle the position of Young Patriarch?

Be honest with me. What realm are you in, and what is your combat strength?"

"Ashamedly, I have only barely entered the Four-Star Dou Saint realm.

However, because my foundation is deep and my soul realm is barely adequate, an ordinary Six-Star Dou Saint is not beyond my ability to fight."

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