Elder Tongxuan, the Skeleton and Blood Essence Secured!
This spatial fluctuation was extremely weak, so weak that even Xiao Yan almost thought he had misperceived it.
Using spatial power to traverse, the resulting fluctuations were so weak. Xiao Yan's mind raced, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
With his Dou Venerate level cultivation and his Heaven-Swallowing Talent for Space Control, he could barely sense this faint spatial fluctuation, which means that the person who came was at least a Saint!
How could a sage have come to this barren land in the Northwest Continent without any reason?
Considering that it was already the time Gu Yuan had agreed to, Xiao Yan was certain that the person who had come was the one who brought Gu Yuan the Dou Saint Skeleton and the Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence!
Just as this thought formed in his mind, the faint spatial fluctuations drew ever closer to him.
Xiao Yan got up early and faced the open space in the Small Courtyard.
Xiao Xun'er's eyes showed a look of doubt as she asked, "Brother Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"
Xiao Yan replied, "Xun'er, it must be someone from the Ancient Clan."
Xiao Xun'er blinked, thinking to herself, "What did Brother Xiao Yan sense? He's really amazing!"
Soon, in the direction Xiao Yan was facing, a spatial rift appeared, and an almost withered, old hand reached out and forcibly tore the spatial rift, which was initially only the size of a fist, apart.
The next second, a figure stepped out from it.
His figure was extremely old, with white beard and eyebrows, not even a trace of black could be seen at the roots of his hair, and his skin was full of wrinkles. Only his deep eyes did not have the turbidity of an ordinary old man, but instead seemed to have an infinite attraction.
"Elder Tongxuan!" Xiao Xun'er immediately stood up and smiled.
"Xun'er." Tong Xuan nodded slightly and smiled.
Xiao Yan immediately understood that the old man in front of him was the Elder Tongxuan, High-Level Semi-Saint from the Ancient Clan in the original story.
With the major Emperor Clan checking and balancing each other, and Dou Sheng unable to easily take action, this Elder Tongxuan is now the face of the Ancient Clan. In the cultivation of High-Level Semi-Saint, he has reached the peak. He can even use the Seven-Colored Heavenly Emperor Brush, which normally only Dou Sheng can wield.
"Greetings, Elder Tongxuan." Xiao Yan bowed politely, showing not a trace of the arrogance of a genius.
Elder Tongxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes. "So you are the Xiao Clan genius, Xiao Yan, that the Clan Chief spoke of?"
Xiao Yan nodded. "Yes, Elder Tongxuan."
Elder Tongxuan, lacking any manners, examined Xiao Yan without permission and exclaimed in surprise, "Four-Star Dou Venerate cultivation, Spirit Realm Soul power, and his physical strength is astonishing indeed. Extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"
Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't show it at all.
"You're quite good. Keep up the good work, and perhaps you'll be worthy of Xun'er." Elder Tongxuan nodded slightly, his tone revealing the superiority of a powerful person.
He then took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.
"This Storage Ring contains the items the clan leader promised you. There are no restrictions on the Storage Ring, so please keep it safe and imprint your Soul Mark on it to prevent the contents from being lost."
Xiao Yan took the Storage Ring and found that it was a High-Tier Storage Ring. The space inside was even larger than the Nether Sea Storage Ring, and it seemed to be slightly inferior to the Bone Flame Realm.
He marveled at the sheer wealth and power of the Ancient Clan, and then probed into it with his Soul Power.
He probed it with his Soul Power and immediately discovered what was stored in the Storage Ring.
It was a skeleton exuding a terrifying pressure. Even through the storage Storage Ring, when Xiao Yan probed into it with his Soul Power, he felt a faint sense of suppression.
In addition, there were five palm-sized jade bottles in the Storage Ring, each containing thick, magma-like, bright red essence blood that exuded an extremely violent aura.
Even though he had seen many storms, Xiao Yan's breathing still became a little heavier.
Xiao Yan withdrew his Soul Power and saw Elder Tongxuan looking at him.
Elder Tongxuan said, "The skeleton inside is that of a One-Star Dou Saint of the Soul Clan, suitable for Soul Body to inhabit. This is what the clan leader asked me to tell you."
"At the same time, the clan chief also said that after learning about your Heaven-Swallowing Talent, nearly half of the elders of the Ancient Clan are willing to give you a chance."
"Two and a half years from now, reveal everything about yourself."
After saying this, Tong Xuan began to express his opinion. "Your Heaven-Swallowing Talent is quite good. I believe you have the potential to defeat the geniuses of our Ancient Clan. Don't slack off."
possible?
Xiao Yan smiled without saying a word.
He never took those Ancient Clan prodigies seriously from the beginning.
Let alone three years from now, even now, he's not someone that Ancient Clan prodigies can easily fool.
Moreover, those Ancient Clan prodigies have not yet reached their peak, so how could they possibly compete with him?
His gaze has always been fixed on the upper echelons of the Ancient Clan.
The opponents he sought to defeat were never those Ancient Clan prodigies.
The real goal was right before his eyes!
"Elder Tongxuan, I will give it my all three years from now!" Xiao Yan said earnestly.
Tong Xuan, unaware of Xiao Yan's true thoughts, simply nodded and encouraged him, "Yes, keep up the good work."
Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that this Elder Tongxuan didn't seem to value him much, or rather, didn't want to value him.
After thinking about it, he realized it was normal.
Elder Tongxuan is a pure-blooded Ancient Clan, prioritizing the Ancient Clan in everything he does, and is somewhat hypocritical at heart.
In the original story, when he fought against the Gu Yao, they both used their ultimate moves. Tong Xuan only stopped him, ignoring the Gu Yao's killing move.
In Elder Tongxuan's view, Xiao Xun'er's high-quality bloodline could only be barely matched by the Ancient Clan prodigies with equally high-grade bloodlines. No matter how outstanding he was, he was not worthy of her without the Dou God Bloodline.
"Xun'er, remember to protect yourself. I'll be leaving now." Elder Tongxuan instructed Xiao Xun'er before breaking through the spatial rift and departing.
After Elder Tongxuan left, Xiao Yan grasped Xiao Xun'er's hand, his face earnest. "Xun'er, in two and a half years, I will definitely demonstrate strength and potential that will earn the respect of the Ancient Clan!"
"Brother Xiao Yan, Xun'er believes in you, she has always believed in you." Xiao Xun'er's voice was even more resolute than Xiao Yan's.
Xiao Yan said no more. He gripped the Storage Ring tightly and said to Xiao Xun'er, "Xun'er, I have the item. I have to leave now. I'm going to the center of the Northwest Continent. It may take some time before I return."
Xiao Xun'er understood and asked, "Are you going to revive Yao Lao?"
Xiao Yan nodded.
The bones needed for resurrection have been prepared, the essence blood can be obtained from Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence, Yao Lao's Soul Body is currently at full strength; it's time to resurrect him.
"Okay, Xun'er will wait for Brother Xiao Yan to come back." Xun'er wasn't in a hurry at all.
After all, the headquarters of the Tian Shu Alliance is in Yan City, Xiao Yan will always come back. Every time he comes back, he will spend some time with her. She is no longer as anxious as before.
