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

Seeing Xiao Xuan's reaction, Xiao Yi's lips curled slightly. He truly had no idea how to explain what kind of realm a Da Dou Shi was to Xiao Xuan.

After all, Xiao Xuan had been a Half-Step Dou Di in life. To him, strength at the level of a Da Dou Shi was no more than that of an ant.

After giving it some thought, Xiao Yi finally said in a deep voice:

"Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Emperor..."

When Xiao Yi reached the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Xuan finally waved his hand.

"There were actually so many realms before the Dou Emperor..."

"The strongest person in the Xiao Clan has only reached that level?"

"What about the high-tier cultivation techniques left behind by the Xiao Clan?"

"Did that old fellow Gu Yuan not look after the Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Xuan's emotions clearly became even more agitated. What Xiao Yi had said was truly beyond his expectations.

Yet Xiao Yi shook his head. "The most powerful Dou Technique in the Xiao Clan today..."

"...is only the Black Lion Fury mastered by the clan leader, a Mid Mystic Grade technique..."

Xiao Xuan, already agitated, became even more worked up when he heard the words "Mid Mystic Grade" from Xiao Yi.

His translucent body flickered from the intensity of his emotions.

"Boy, are you truly not deceiving me?"

After a moment, Xiao Xuan regained his composure and spoke in a deep voice once more.

At that moment, Xiao Xuan dearly wished that everything Xiao Yi had just said was false!

After all, how could the Xiao Clan, one of the mighty Ancient Eight Clans, have fallen to such a state?

But Xiao Yi's gaze remained firm as he said solemnly, word by word:

"This junior would never dare deceive an ancestor!"

"The Xiao Clan truly is in such a state now!"

Upon hearing this, the light in Xiao Xuan's dark eyes finally faded completely.

"So be it, so be it..."

"When I attempted to break through to the Dou Di realm, I should have long expected the Xiao Clan to meet such an end..."

"Fortunately, the Xiao Clan's bloodline still remains!"

"Boy, what realm are you at now... Why can I not sense it...?"

Xiao Xuan lowered his head to look at Xiao Yi, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

In life, Xiao Xuan had been known as a Half-Step Dou Di. Even though only a remnant soul remained, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

Yet he could not see through the realm of the boy before him at all.

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi's face darkened.

"Reporting to Ancestor, this junior has only barely reached the first stage of Dou Strength..."

"Even becoming a Dou Zhe has become a distant hope..."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan's expression changed. He had not expected the Xiao Clan descendant who awakened him to be so weak.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's expression, Xiao Yi paused before continuing:

"This junior had already advanced to Dou Zhe three years ago..."

"But overnight, all my Dou Qi vanished..."

Before Xiao Yi could finish, Xiao Xuan interrupted him with a cough.

"Ahem... ahem..."

"Becoming a Dou Zhe at that age does not seem like anything worth being proud of, does it..."

"Back then, I advanced to Dou Zun at the age of fifteen..."

Seeing that Xiao Xuan was about to recount his glorious achievements, Xiao Yi slowly said:

"Ancestor, that is not what I meant..."

"This junior only wants to know how my meager Dou Qi as a Dou Zhe awakened such a vast soul as yours?"

Xiao Yi truly could not understand it. When Xiao Xuan had fallen, he had been a Half-Step Dou Di and possessed an Emperor Realm Soul.

Could such a powerful expert really be awakened by that tiny bit of Dou Qi from him?

Hearing Xiao Yi's confusion,

a faint smile appeared on Xiao Xuan's face.

"Although your Dou Qi is somewhat thin, for some reason, the attribute of the Dou Qi within your body is almost identical to mine..."

"Perhaps that is precisely why I was able to awaken..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded, half understanding and half confused.

Though he did not know the exact reason, Xiao Yi felt that Xiao Xuan's explanation made some sense.

Seeing Xiao Yi lost in thought and looking rather unhappy,

Xiao Xuan slowly said, "Boy, stop sulking..."

"I merely absorbed your Dou Qi for three years. Surely you would not neglect your ancestor over that?"

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and hurriedly waved his hand in explanation.

"Ancestor, you misunderstand... How could this junior be so petty? It was only a little Dou Qi..."

But Xiao Xuan snorted. "You really are stubborn..."

"Your displeasure is written all over your face..."

"Just a little Dou Qi, was it? I will return it to you right now..."

Xiao Yi said, "Ancestor, you truly misunderstand..."

"Besides, if you return that Dou Qi to me, would you not fall back into slumber again...?"

To be honest, Xiao Yi truly did not want Xiao Xuan to return the Dou Qi at this moment.

After finally awakening such a tremendous cheat, how could Xiao Yi allow him to fall asleep again?

But Xiao Xuan waved his hand.

"It is no matter. Since I have already awakened, I will not so easily fall into slumber again..."

"Returning the Dou Qi to you will merely weaken my soul power somewhat..."

"But even so, I can still roam the continent unhindered..."

As soon as Xiao Xuan finished speaking, he did not wait for Xiao Yi to respond.

The next instant, streams of red aura suddenly surged around Xiao Xuan's body.

Then, strands of red Dou Qi flowed from Xiao Xuan's fingertips like wisps of air.

They streamed into Xiao Yi's mouth and nose.

Feeling that gentle yet somewhat unfamiliar Dou Qi coursing freely through the meridians within his body,

Xiao Yi felt as though he were lying on an enormous waterbed, relaxed and comfortable.

For a moment, Xiao Yi immersed himself in that numbingly pleasant sensation.

"This feeling is truly unfamiliar..."

A moment later,

the Dou Qi flowing from Xiao Xuan's fingertips gradually ceased, and Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the abundant Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Yi murmured softly:

"I have returned to the Dou Zhe realm..."

Seeing Xiao Yi's excited expression, Xiao Xuan looked thoroughly disappointed in him.

"The Xiao Clan truly has declined. You can get this excited just from advancing to Dou Zhe..."

Xiao Yi scratched his head and stammered:

"Ancestor, since you absorbed three years of my Dou Qi, then... could you give me a little interest?"

The moment Xiao Yi said this, Xiao Xuan's expression changed dramatically.

"You brat! Do not think of such opportunistic schemes!"

"A true man standing between Heaven and Earth should keep his feet firmly on the ground!"

Xiao Yi immediately put on a serious expression. "Ancestor, you misunderstand me!"

"The strongest person in the Xiao Clan today is only a five-star Da Dou Shi. This junior merely wishes to grow stronger quickly, so I can better protect the Xiao Clan!"
