Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Legacy

Xiao Yi had just activated the Dragon Abyss First Awakening Art.

His expression changed.

In an instant, an extremely familiar sensation surged into his heart.

"Is this... a breakthrough?"

Feeling the Dou Qi churning endlessly within his body, as though it were about to burst forth, Xiao Yi murmured softly.

It was likely that the intense battle just now had stimulated the Dou Qi within him, allowing Xiao Yi, who had already reached the peak of the nine-star Dou Practitioner realm, to break through the bottleneck.

And step into the Dou Master realm.

Such an opportunity for breakthrough was exceedingly rare. Naturally, Xiao Yi was unwilling to let it slip away.

Looking at Xiao Li, who had just escaped from beneath his Dou Technique, he said solemnly,

"Second Brother, please guard me!"

"I'm about to break through..."

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged on the spot. He hurriedly circulated his Dou Qi, steadied his aura, and charged toward the Dou Master realm.

Seeing this, Xiao Li could not help but gape. "Good lord, sparring with me actually brought you such an opportunity!"

"With your luck and talent, I truly can't envy you enough..."

Though Xiao Li said that, his body was far more honest.

Holding his long halberd, he stood beside Xiao Yi and guarded him.

The most vulnerable moment for a cultivator was precisely when they were breaking through.

Xiao Li also regarded Xiao Yi as his own younger brother. At a time like this, he naturally did his utmost to protect him.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others on the arena did not hesitate in the slightest.

Almost at the same moment, they leaped onto the platform and began guarding Xiao Yi as well.

After all, the situation was far too chaotic.

There would inevitably be people with ill intentions who, out of jealousy for Xiao Yi's talent, might seize this chance to strike.

To avoid such trouble, the four people on the platform surrounded Xiao Yi in the center.

"Everyone, the Xiao Clan coming-of-age ceremony ends here today..."

"Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality..."

"Elders, please see the guests out on my behalf..."

Standing atop the platform, Xiao Zhan spoke in a deep voice.

The others were quite tactful and rose to leave one after another.

Before long, only Xiao Yi and the other four remained in the vast square.

After an unknown amount of time, the surging red Dou Qi around Xiao Yi gradually dispersed.

At the same time, Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes.

"So this is the Dou Master realm. This feeling truly is wondrous..."

Feeling the richer and more tyrannical Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yi could not help but murmur.

"Yi'er, you succeeded!"

Seeing Xiao Yi open his eyes, the excitement on Xiao Zhan and the others' faces was impossible to conceal.

Xiao Yi nodded and slowly rose to his feet. "Thank you, Uncle and Second Brother, for guarding me!"

Xiao Li waved his hand. "You brat, we're family. Why are you talking like strangers?"

Xiao Zhan also inspected Xiao Yi with an excited expression, nodding from time to time. "Reaching the Dou Master realm at such a young age!"

"It seems the Xiao Clan truly has a chance to return to Jia Ma Sacred City!"

Then Xiao Zhan turned to Xiao Yan and said softly, "Yan'er, you must work harder too. Catch up to your Brother Yi!"

Three years ago, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi had displayed talents that were not too far apart. Thus, seeing Xiao Yi make such progress, Xiao Zhan still held great expectations for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan nodded, then looked at Xiao Yi. The two exchanged knowing smiles.

That night, Xiao Yi did not choose to relax simply because he had broken through to the Dou Master realm.

Instead, under the moonlight, he once again went to cultivate in the familiar cave in the back mountains of Wutan City.

"Little fellow, now that you've broken through to the Dou Master realm, what are your plans..."

"You can't keep cultivating in this tiny place forever. The spiritual energy here is far too scarce. Cultivation is not easy..."

Xiao Xuan's deep, weighty voice slowly rang out as he looked at Xiao Yi and asked calmly.

What Xiao Xuan said was indeed true.

In the Jia Ma Empire, becoming a Dou Emperor was enough to become a top expert.

Yet breaking through to the Dou Ancestor realm was extremely difficult. In the end, it was also related to the Jia Ma Empire's remote location.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yi slowly said,

"Ancestor, it seems that finding a Heavenly Flame is of vital importance to me now..."

"If I have a Heavenly Flame, my alchemy skills can improve greatly. At the same time, only after obtaining one can I truly cultivate the Flame Soul Devouring Heaven Art and strengthen my soul power..."

"So, I want to leave Wutan City and search for a Heavenly Flame..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yi's idea.

After all, if Xiao Yi could obtain a Heavenly Flame now, the benefits to him would be impossible to count.

"Boy, you are right, but do you know that there are only twenty-three Heavenly Flames in the entire continent, these spiritual wonders born of heaven and earth? How difficult would it be to find one..."

"Even I had to expend no small effort back then just to barely find three..."

Xiao Xuan raised his eyes to the waning moon in the sky and spoke calmly.

Xiao Yi blinked and asked the question that had lingered in his heart through both his previous life and this one. "Ancestor, then which three Heavenly Flames did you possess back then..."

Xiao Xuan paused before continuing, "Back then, I used my powerful Dou Qi to suppress three Heavenly Flames within my body: the twenty-first-ranked Yin-Yang Twin Flame, the eighteenth-ranked Wind Fury Dragon Flame, and the seventeenth-ranked Volcanic Stone Flame..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi could not help but smack his lips.

"Ancestor, those Heavenly Flames don't seem to rank very highly..."

Xiao Xuan shot Xiao Yi a fierce glare. "Brat, what do you know! Even the lowest-ranked Black-Yellow Flame is far more powerful than other flames!"

"As they say, when a Heavenly Flame appears, all flames submit!"

Xiao Yi nodded after hearing this, saying nothing, as though deep in thought.

Xiao Xuan glanced at Xiao Yi, then said softly,

"Little fellow, I know you want to find a Heavenly Flame and become stronger quickly..."

"But such miraculous things cannot be forced. They can only be found through fate..."

"So where do you plan to go next..."

Xiao Yi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said solemnly,

"Canaan Academy!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan froze slightly. "Canaan Academy? With me teaching you, what could you possibly learn at that academy?"

Xiao Xuan was rather puzzled. In his view, with his strength, teaching such a young brat was more than easy enough.

Why was this boy still thinking about some academy?

Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly. "Ancestor, Canaan Academy naturally cannot teach me anything..."

"But there are treasures there!"

"I heard that Canaan Academy has a Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower, and beneath that tower lies a miraculous thing like a Heavenly Flame—Fallen Heart Flame, ranked fourteenth..."

Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi with considerable suspicion. "Fallen Heart Flame? Are you sure?"

"You, a boy from the mountains, know that Canaan Academy possesses a Heavenly Flame. Wouldn't others know as well?"

"If there truly were a Heavenly Flame, it would have long since been taken by someone else. Would it still be waiting for you?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly. "Ancestor, perhaps Canaan Academy has experts within it who make others wary..."

"Anyway, just come with me and take a trip there. If there's a Heavenly Flame, we'll make a killing. If there isn't, we can treat it as broadening our horizons."

While Xiao Yi had been thinking earlier, he had been considering whether to first seek the Green Lotus Core Flame or the Fallen Heart Flame.

After much deliberation, Xiao Yi chose the Fallen Heart Flame. After all, the Fallen Heart Flame was known as a cultivation cheat.

As for the Green Lotus Core Flame...
