Kill Xiao Yan = Mission Complete???

Host: Xiao Chen

Gender: Male

Level: Seven-Star Dou Saint

Heavenly Flame: Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame

Mission: As an Ancestor, you must revitalize the fallen family. The Three Year Pact is approaching; find a way to prevent the Xiao Family from being humiliated.

Mission Reward: Raise current level by one star; raise soul realm to the Emperor Realm.

Only after seeing his own status panel did Xiao Chen confirm that everything before this had not been a dream.

He had truly transmigrated.

And he had become Xiao Chen, the Ancestor of the Xiao Family.

Wouldn't killing Xiao Yan directly get this mission done?

Xiao Chen muttered to himself.

Hun Tiandi: That's right, hurry up.

If you could not think of a way to solve the problem, then deal with the person who created it.

This method was simple and brutal, but extremely effective.

As a highly respected Ancestor, killing the clan member with the greatest talent and potential for the sake of a mere mission is prohibited. Punishment: one bolt of Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

"Damn, that's ruthless!"

Hearing the punishment, he froze for a moment before jumping to his feet.

After thoroughly integrating the memories and information of Xiao Chen and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint, Xiao Chen had become extremely familiar with everything in the Dou Qi Continent. Information about the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, an existence no weaker than the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, immediately surfaced in his mind.

If lightning had a ranking similar to the Heavenly Flame Ranking, then the Nine Profound Golden Lightning held a position equivalent to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, or even the Nihility Devouring Flame, on that ranking.

Only when a ninth-grade golden pill was refined would the Nine Profound Golden Lightning appear in the world. Every appearance of it shook the heavens and earth. Even Dou Saint experts were incomparably insignificant before its might. Ancient texts recorded no shortage of peak alchemists whose refinement of ninth-grade golden pills had drawn such heavenly phenomena.

And the most shocking of these phenomena was the Nine Profound Golden Lightning. Even an ordinary Dou Saint would be reduced to ashes in an instant by merely touching a trace of it.

Even during the flourishing ancient era, the Nine Profound Golden Lightning had been exceedingly rare. On the current continent, there had been no news of its appearance for thousands of years. In other words, no ninth-grade golden pill had appeared in the Dou Qi Continent during those millennia!

Even peak experts above the Seven-Star Dou Saint level would find it difficult to withstand the Nine Profound Golden Lightning.

But before Xiao Chen could argue anything—

A vast sea of glittering golden lightning appeared above his head.

Within the lightning sea, a gigantic dragon, brilliant gold all over as though cast from pure gold, coiled and twisted. From the surface of its body, golden lightning arcs splashed outward.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen had not left the Demonic Lotus Fire Space. Otherwise, this disturbance alone would have drawn the attention of many major factions.

Especially ancient races such as the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan.

The golden lightning dragon lay coiled in the deepest part of the lightning sea. Golden electric arcs constantly flickered over its body, while an aura of destruction quietly spread out, twisting even the empty space to an extreme degree.

Even Xiao Chen, who had successfully refined the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and entered the Seven-Star Dou Saint realm, felt his heart pound with fear at the power spilling forth.

This power was already capable of posing a fatal threat to him.

Suddenly, the golden lightning dragon opened its jaws, and a golden bolt of lightning roughly a hundred zhang long shot out with a crackle at nearly the speed of light. In a single flash, it struck Xiao Chen.

BOOM!

Space exploded. The world-destroying power of lightning blasted the unprepared Xiao Chen a hundred li away, while the space where he had stood formed a massive black hole a thousand zhang wide.

"Pfft!"

As his body hit the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and a scorched smell rose from him.

Pale golden lightning covered his entire body. If someone could see through him at this moment, they would immediately discover:

Golden lightning arcs filled with destructive power were continuously rampaging through Xiao Chen's meridians and bones. If the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame had not first covered his meridians and flesh with a layer of milky-white fire membrane, Xiao Chen would have been dead or severely crippled.

Even so, that strike from the Nine Profound Golden Lightning had injured him badly.

Punishment complete!

Hidden Mission: The Three Year Pact is approaching. Help Xiao Yan reach the Da Dou Shi realm and gain the strength to crush Nalan Yanran.

Reward: Fully recover all old injuries and hidden ailments within the body; raise bloodline to divine grade.

Accept?

"Accept."

"But whose Golden Finger are you, exactly?"

Although the Beast Region was not as vast as the Central Continent, it was not to be underestimated. The endless mountain ranges stretching beyond sight were enough to let one feel the Beast Region's uniquely wild aura.

Although the Beast Region was known as the Ten Thousand Mountains, that was merely a rough figure. If counted properly, the number would certainly far exceed that. These mountain ranges extended into distant places beyond human reach, and the passage of time had left countless treasures within them, waiting for those fated to uncover them.

Xiao Chen's destination was the Bone Mountain Range in the Beast Region.

In the original work, the Bone Mountain Range contained an ancient Dou Saint ruin.

Aside from a Golden Finger and the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, Xiao Chen currently possessed nothing else.

He was truly broke.

To raise the Xiao Family's overall strength, cultivation techniques, Dou Skills, heavenly treasures, and all kinds of high-grade medicinal pills were indispensable.

With his strength, even the Pill Tower or the Soul Hall would have no one capable of stopping him. Taking a few things at random would be enough.

But doing so risked exposing himself, and once he was exposed, the Soul Clan would likely be unable to sit still.

If he went too far, Hun Tiandi might even personally act and erase him, the Xiao Clan's last Dou Saint expert.

As for seeking protection from the Ancient Clan, that was even more impossible.

As for the cultivation techniques and Dou Skills of other factions, once he obtained the treasures within the ancient ruin, he would go borrow some for the time being.

The Bone Mountain Range had quite a reputation in the Beast Region, because it possessed a bone sea that made people tremble in fear. Countless Demon Beast skeletons had been discarded there. As time passed, these bones gradually released some of the strange beast energy contained within them. This energy was useless to humans, but it was an excellent supplement for Demon Beasts, making the Bone Mountain Range a favored gathering place for many of them.

With Xiao Chen's Seven-Star Dou Saint cultivation and Heaven Realm soul at the great completion stage, vast though the Bone Mountain Range was—

The ancient ruin hidden in the void still had nowhere to hide.

Especially since there was not much time left before it emerged; the spatial seal on its surface had long since been almost worn away by time.

Thus, Xiao Chen discovered the unusual spatial fluctuations within the Bone Mountain Range almost instantly.

Then, with a light step into the void, his entire body vanished from where he stood.
