Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance Chapter 15

Xiao Xuan's gaze sharpened as he said gravely, "You brat, always so impatient! This technique will be yours sooner or later!"

"But now isn't the time. This technique requires at least one strange flame to cultivate..."

"Right now, you've got jack shit. Giving it to you would be useless..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi pondered briefly before asking in a low voice, "Flames... strange flames?"

Xiao Xuan nodded. "That's right. Once you manage to find a strange flame, I'll naturally teach you the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame..."

"For now, focus on cultivating that Burning Heaven Formula. Though it's only an Earth-tier technique, it'll be enough to carry you all the way to the Dou Zun realm..."

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, Xiao Yi nodded.

Indeed, every word Xiao Xuan had said was true.

Though the Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Flame was incredibly powerful and domineering, it required a flame as its catalyst.

Xiao Yi did not possess a strange flame yet, so he could not cultivate it.

"Ancestor, have you heard of the Burning Formula?"

A moment later, Xiao Yi suddenly asked softly.

Xiao Xuan was rather surprised. "Kid, I didn't expect you to know about the Burning Formula!"

"I've heard that the Burning Formula can continuously devour strange flames and evolve. It's terrifying. I've never seen such a technique, one that exists only in legend..."

"Where did you hear about it, brat...?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly. "Just heard someone mention it..."

Xiao Xuan merely glanced at Xiao Yi, then guessed what he was thinking. "What, kid? You want to find the Burning Formula and devour strange flames?"

"If someone wants to possess multiple strange flames, they don't necessarily need the Burning Formula. As long as they are powerful enough, they can control multiple strange flames with their own strength!"

"I myself once possessed no fewer than three strange flames!"

A trace of pride flashed across Xiao Xuan's face, followed by a hint of regret.

"Unfortunately, when I self-destructed back then, all the strange flames sealed within my body disappeared as well..."

Xiao Yi froze slightly upon hearing that.

Xiao Yi remembered that in the original work, although Yao Lao had also died once, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame had remained with him even in his soul state.

It seemed Xiao Xuan's circumstances back then had been very different from Yao Lao's.

"So, kid, on this continent, any Dou technique or cultivation method merely serves as icing on the cake. What we must do is make ourselves truly powerful!"

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Xuan taught Xiao Yi with great patience.

Xiao Yi nodded repeatedly.

Looking at Xiao Xuan's translucent body, Xiao Yi pondered for a moment before quietly asking, "Ancestor, have you ever thought about being revived?"

Seeing the unwavering determination in Xiao Yi's eyes, even a powerhouse like Xiao Xuan could not help but be slightly stunned.

After all, Xiao Xuan had been dead for a thousand years. During those thousand years, it was not as though he had never considered resurrection.

Unfortunately...

"Kid, resurrection?"

"Who wouldn't want a living body? Unfortunately, I'm merely a wisp of a remnant soul now. I'm afraid it's somewhat impossible..."

A strange light flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes before he laughed heartily.

After all, after a thousand years, Xiao Xuan had long since come to terms with the matter of resurrection.

Now, he had only one thought in his heart: to see the Xiao Clan rise again.

Yet even after hearing Xiao Xuan say this, Xiao Yi's expression remained serious. "Ancestor, the Dou Qi Continent is so vast. We'll surely be able to find spiritual medicine capable of restoring the origin of your soul..."

"Besides, if we can refine a body capable of bearing the power of your soul, along with high-tier medicinal pills, then reviving you may not be completely impossible..."

After all, Xiao Xuan's strength as a half-step Dou Di was truly terrifying. If he could be revived, the Xiao Clan's strength would be unimaginable.

Yet Xiao Xuan merely smiled faintly.

"Kid, it's a good idea, but do you know how difficult it would be to forge a body capable of housing the soul of a half-step Dou Di powerhouse...?"

"Forget it. It's enough to think about it. Your most urgent task now is to properly study this cultivation method and raise your strength..."

"A Dou Zhe is truly far too weak..."

Xiao Xuan waved his hand, unwilling to continue discussing the topic.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi nodded as well.

Indeed, with his current strength, even if all the materials were gathered, reviving Xiao Xuan would still be nearly impossible.

But to refine a body, the Burning Formula's ability to devour strange flames was indispensable.

If Xiao Yi cultivated the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art now, then changing cultivation methods later would mean losing all his Dou Qi.

"Ancestor, if I start cultivating the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art now, what should I do if I want to cultivate another technique in the future?"

Xiao Yi raised his head and looked at Xiao Xuan as he asked gravely.

After all, changing cultivation methods midway would cause one to lose all their cultivation.

Yet Xiao Xuan was not flustered in the slightest. He said calmly, "Kid, don't worry. Cultivate the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art without concern. In the future, I guarantee that you'll still be able to cultivate other techniques without losing your cultivation!"

Seeing Xiao Xuan's confidence, Xiao Yi did not hesitate further. Given Xiao Xuan's terrifying strength, he would never deceive him.

Then, Xiao Yi began cultivating the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art he had just obtained!

The moonlight was hazy.

Xiao Yi sat cross-legged in the cave, tightly clutching the Scarlet Sun Heaven-Burning Art in his palm.

The characters recording the cultivation method of this Earth-tier technique flickered beneath the moonlight, while wisps of crimson spiritual energy seemed to seep from between its pages.

"Kid, cultivate well. Although this is only an introductory technique, it'll bring you great benefits at your current stage..."

Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi and reminded him softly.

Xiao Yi nodded.

Taking a deep breath, he began circulating his dantian sea of qi according to the incantation.

At first, nothing happened.

"Kid, focus!"

Seeing this, Xiao Xuan reminded him softly.

Xiao Yi forcibly circulated the Dou Qi within his body.

In an instant, a searing, needle-like current of qi suddenly rushed into his meridians.

Xiao Yi's entire body tensed abruptly. Veins throbbed at his temples, and cold sweat instantly soaked through his clothes.

That torrent of heat rampaged through him like a red-hot iron rod stirring through his blood vessels. Every inch of his meridians felt as though it were about to tear apart.

"Hold on! You've already entered the threshold!"

Xiao Xuan floated in midair, watching Xiao Yi's condition at all times.

Whenever necessary, he spoke to guide him.

"Ha... ha..."

Xiao Yi gasped heavily, his fingertips turning pale from exertion.

The phrase recorded in the technique—"The heart flame arises of itself, and the Scarlet Sun begins to burn"—repeatedly echoed through Xiao Yi's mind.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Xiao Yi gathered his Dou Qi again.

He tried to subdue the heart flame that had arisen within him.

This time, a faint glow finally appeared around Xiao Yi, and an extremely pale crimson flame swayed within his meridians.

That was the heart flame!

Yet the heart flame that had seemed to stabilize erupted the very next moment. An even fiercer burning pain swept through his entire body, causing Xiao Yi's vision to go black as he nearly collapsed.

Xiao Yi bit down hard on his lower lip, and the taste of blood spread through his mouth.

"Kid, hold on! This is the most crucial step!"

"Let the body burn, but never let the heart flame be extinguished!"

Xiao Xuan saw Xiao Yi's condition and spoke in a grave voice.
