Doudi Legacy from the Start

Wutan City, Xiao Clan!

A child of four or five sat in a tranquil courtyard, leisurely gazing at the bright moon overhead.

His name was Xiao Ce. At present, he was the only surviving blood relative of the Xiao Clan's Third Elder in Wutan City, and he had been deeply cherished by the Third Elder since childhood.

As for his parents, they had been core members of the clan. Three months ago, while transporting goods to another city, they had been ambushed by experts from the Jialie Clan and both perished.

Xiao Ce himself had suffered a tremendous blow from his parents' deaths, ultimately awakening the memories of his previous life.

After merging with those memories, he immediately realized that he had reincarnated in the Douqi Continent.

In his previous life, he had been an unsuccessful webnovel author. The relentless pace of four or five daily updates had eventually caused him to die from overwork.

And what a coincidence—he had been writing a damn Battle Through the Heavens fanfiction.

What delighted him most was that the protagonist's "cheat" from his novel had somehow crossed over with him.

Back then, in order to make the story more satisfying, he had shamelessly given the protagonist a Doudi Legacy right at the beginning.

Now, that Doudi Legacy had followed him into the world of Battle Through the Heavens...

The Doudi Legacy that had crossed over with him was a cultivation technique called the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao.

He had pulled that name out of nowhere in his previous life. Even the Doudi who had created the technique was a Schrödinger's Doudi, someone he had made up at random. His title was the Yang Emperor, while his name was unknown.

The Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao's effects were also simple and brutal. As a dual cultivation technique, the better the physique of the woman he cultivated with, the more terrifying the feedback he received.

The protagonist of that fanfiction he had written in his previous life had practically swept up every famous beauty in Battle Through the Heavens.

It was precisely for that reason that he had taken no small amount of abuse back then.

It was all for the money. Getting cursed at a little was nothing to be ashamed of.

Yet who could have imagined that he, too, would one day transmigrate?

And that he would even bring along the Doudi Legacy from his previous life's novel.

Th-this-this...

How was Xiao Ce supposed to handle this?!

For the day when he could save the common people from suffering, even if people cursed him as a stallion, he would gladly bear it without hesitation.

Pulling his thoughts back, Xiao Ce rose and stretched. The corners of his mouth still lifted involuntarily.

Only after a while did Xiao Ce finally suppress his excitement.

Now was not the time to fantasize about the future. To cultivate the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao, he first had to break through to Dou Zhe.

And he also had to find a dual cultivation partner in advance.

If his dual cultivation partner possessed a special physique like Xiao Yi Xian or Qing Lin, then his progress would truly advance by leaps and bounds.

Xiao Ce was now four years old and had only begun cultivating half a year ago.

However, his cultivation talent was merely above average at best. He remained at the first stage of Dou Qi, with no sign of breaking through.

Still, Xiao Ce was not anxious.

Did they think he had no way to use cheats during the Dou Qi stage?

They were dead wrong!

When Xiao Ce had designed the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao in his previous life, he had also added a Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Chapter to it.

The Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Chapter was a breathing technique for the Dou Qi stage of the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao. It was an exceptionally profound breathing technique that could not only help cultivators establish a perfect foundation, but also cultivate a special kind of Dou Qi.

Normally, a person's Dou Qi attribute was determined from birth.

However, if one cultivated the Yin-Yang Foundation Establishment Breathing Art, one could cultivate Yin-Yang Dou Qi upon breaking through to Dou Zhe.

Yin-Yang Dou Qi did not belong to any attribute found on the Douqi Continent, yet it could use yin and yang as its foundation to evolve into any attribute in the world.

Furthermore, Yin-Yang Dou Qi was extraordinarily powerful. It had no equal among those of the same level. Even Heavenly Flame Dou Qi could only be a pathetic little brother before Yin-Yang Dou Qi.

Therefore, Xiao Ce was not worried in the slightest. He could cultivate slowly for now, then seek out Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin once he broke through to Dou Zhe.

After all, the defining trait of the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao was that the greater his dual cultivation partner's talent and the stronger her physique, the stronger the feedback he would receive.

Whether it was Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body or Qing Lin's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, both were tremendous supplements to him.

In truth, Gu Xun'er possessed the Gu Clan's God-Grade Bloodline and was likewise an excellent dual cultivation partner.

There was just one unpleasant issue.

Before Gu Xun'er became a Dousheng, Xiao Ce could forget about dual cultivating with her.

Otherwise, if Gu Yuan found out, he feared Gu Yuan would hack him alive.

In terms of value for effort, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin were still the best choices. They were also the special physiques Xiao Ce could most easily come into contact with.

Of course, Xiao Ce did not need to think too far ahead just yet.

Judging by the current timeline, Xiao Yan was only three years old. It would be at least another two years before Gu Xun'er came to the Xiao Clan.

For a long period afterward, Xiao Ce threw himself wholeheartedly into cultivation. Every morning, he sat cross-legged in his courtyard and cultivated Dou Qi.

He had not actually been so diligent before. At his age, he should have been playful and restless, and it was difficult to calm down and cultivate.

But having lived two lives, was Xiao Ce really supposed to go play in the mud with a group of four- and five-year-olds again?

As the Third Elder's only grandson, Xiao Ce's changes naturally drew the attention of many within the Xiao Clan. However, everyone merely assumed that his parents' deaths had traumatized him, causing him to mature greatly overnight.

Time passed in a flash, and two years went by in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Ce was six years old and at the third stage of Dou Qi.

That cultivation speed was second only to Xiao Yan's within the Xiao Clan, but Xiao Ce was not actually satisfied.

After all, he knew exactly how much time he had spent cultivating, and he had also taken plenty of medicinal baths.

But there was no helping it. Although the Xuantian Yin-Yang Dao could establish a perfect foundation for him, it could not increase his cultivation speed.

His current cultivation speed was already the limit he could reach.

If he wanted to cultivate faster, he would need Foundation Building Spirit Liquid refined by Yao Lao.

At dusk, the setting sun was as red as blood.

Xiao Ce had just finished dinner with the Third Elder. The grandfather and grandson were sitting in the main hall, chatting about everyday matters.

After Xiao Ce's parents had been murdered, the Third Elder, Xiao Hai, had aged greatly over the past two years. His temples had turned gray, though he remained spirited and vigorous. His eyes were full of affection whenever he looked at Xiao Ce.

As Xiao Ce told him about some of his insights from today's cultivation, he suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard.

"Third Elder!"

A guard rushed into the courtyard and respectfully reported from the entrance of the main hall, "The Clan Head has ordered the Third Elder to proceed to the Guest Reception Hall immediately. Distinguished guests have arrived."

Distinguished guests?

Xiao Ce's heart stirred slightly, and a thought flashed through his mind.

At this point in time, the only people who could make the Xiao Clan treat the matter so seriously and urgently summon an elder to the Guest Reception Hall were probably Gu Yuan and Gu Xun'er.

And the reason Gu Yuan had placed Gu Xun'er in the Xiao Clan's care—

Aside from wanting Gu Xun'er to have a somewhat freer childhood, the greatest reason was naturally to obtain information from the Xiao Clan about that piece of Tou She Ancient God Jade belonging to the Xiao Tribe.

With conduct this vile, what was there left to say?

Xiao Ce had to make that old bastard Gu Yuan lose both his wife and his army!
