Another Letter

"Have I ever lied to you about something like this?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's excited state, Xiao Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

You know what, that's definitely true!

Xiao Lin likes to trick Xiao Yan over trivial matters.

However, when it comes to cultivation, Xiao Lin has never treated Xiao Yan unfairly!

"Hehe, Grandpa, I knew you were the best! Just tell me quickly, how can I break through to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng + Emperor Realm Soul?"

At this moment, the longing in Xiao Yan's eyes was undisguised.

In fact, as Xiao Yan's strength increased, the aura he sometimes exuded also became increasingly powerful.

This is probably something that people with strong abilities and high status unconsciously possess.

Given Xiao Yan's current strength and status, it's quite normal for him to possess such a unique aura.

However, only in front of his family could he still look like the young man from the Xiao Household he once was.

"Alright, don't rush. This matter still requires your father-in-law's help."

Just then, Xiao Lin suddenly spoke up meaningfully.

Xiao Lin's words surprised Xiao Yan once again.

"Hmm~, Father-in-law? Grandfather, you mean, Clan Leader Gu Yuan?"

After a moment's thought, Xiao Yan realized that this seemed to be the only answer.

"Besides Gu Yuan, with your current Soul Power at the Early Seven-Star Dou Saint and the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, which other father-in-law do you think could help you?"

Xiao Lin asked back, somewhat speechless.

However, as Xiao Lin finished speaking, Xiao Yan became somewhat conflicted.

After all, if he could, he wouldn't really want to seek help from his future father-in-law, Gu Yuan!

This might also be due to Xiao Yan's pride.

"Grandpa, is it really a bad idea to ask Clan Leader Gu Yuan for help?"

Clearly, Xiao Yan is still struggling with his decision...

"What's wrong with that? You're not just too embarrassed to ask, are you? But it doesn't matter anyway, it's not like you're using your own reputation to get Gu Yuan's help, so why are you panicking?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xiao Lin guessed what was going on and was speechless.

Fortunately, he didn't expect Xiao Yan to lower himself to beg Gu Yuan for help.

Don't forget, when Xiao Lin gave Gu Yuan the method to become Spirit Array Master, Gu Yuan promised him three things.

Of these, Gu Yuan had already completed the first two tasks.

Now, only one item remains!

And this last thing, well, it was agreed upon beforehand.

When necessary, Gu Yuan must provide Xiao Yan with something that will help his current cultivation level!

In other words, if Xiao Yan first relied on the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill he had refined in the Medicine Realm to raise his strength to the Late-Stage Seven-Star Dou Saint, and then went to the Gu Clan for help, then if Gu Yuan did not want to break the contract, he would have to use all the resources of the Gu Clan to raise Xiao Yan to the Early Eight-Star Dou Saint realm!

Furthermore, the matter of how to help Xiao Yan break through to the Emperor Realm Soul is actually quite simple.

It's just following the Original Work story's path, having Xiao Yan refine the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

As for how to resolve the issue of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit, that's even simpler!

In the Original Work, Xiao Xuan and the Heavenly Tomb Spirit exploded, which allowed Xiao Yan to refine the Heavenly Tomb Spirit later on.

As for this life, Xiao Lin has already told Xiao Xuan not to think too much about it.

Actually, the question of how to resolve the issue of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit can be left to Gu Yuan.

You see, the Heavenly Tomb is now controlled by the Gu Clan.

If the Gu Clans knew that within the Heavenly Tomb existed Heavenly Tomb Spirit they were unaware of and unable to control, what do you think they would Gu Clan?

This is likely to cause an uproar throughout the Gu Clan!

The Heavenly Tomb is essentially a Secret Realm.

However, when the Gu Clan realized that not only was this Secret Realm not fully under their control, but that such a terrifying being even existed within it, how could Gu Clan possibly feel at ease?

Once the Heavenly Tomb opens, will they send their clan's most outstanding talents inside?

It was fine before that people didn't know; the Gu Clan probably didn't care.

But once people know this, they will feel fear.

Especially considering that the Heavenly Tomb Spirit has been around for an unknown period of time, yet has been able to conceal its existence, how could the Gu Clans not have any doubts?

They might even wonder if the Heavenly Tomb Spirit had some grander scheme.

Therefore, once the Gu Clans learn that the Heavenly Tomb Spirit exists within the Heavenly Tomb and that the Heavenly Tomb Spirit cannot be controlled by the Gu Clan, there will only be one outcome.

That means the Gu Clans will spare no effort to eliminate the Heavenly Tomb Spirit!

This was to be expected.

After all, putting himself in Xiao Lin's shoes, if there were such a being within the Realm of Formations of his Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Xiao Lin probably wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully!

The stronger a person or force is, the more fearful they will be when something beyond their control appears on their territory.

Presumably, the Gu Clan would be no exception when it comes to the Heavenly Tomb Spirit...

Therefore, there was absolutely no need for Xiao Xuan to explode with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit to fulfill Xiao Yan.

This kind of thing can be handled by Gu Yuan.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Gu Yuan should replace Xiao Xuan to fight the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

In fact, once Gu Yuan enters the Heavenly Tomb and joins forces with Xiao Xuan, the Heavenly Tomb Spirit will have no chance of escaping!

With Gu Yuan's intervention, Xiao Xuan wouldn't need to pay any price to resolve the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

All of this had already been planned out by Xiao Lin when he traded the method to become a Spirit Array Master with Gu Yuan.

This also makes one marvel at how far-sighted Xiao Lin, with his God-like perspective, truly is!

He had foreseen this day from the very beginning...

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Lin recounted his original agreement with Gu Yuan to Xiao Yan.

"Huh? Is that really true? But speaking of which, Grandpa, how did you trick Clan Leader Gu Yuan into signing the Engagement Contract between Xun'er and me, and even get him to do me such a big favor?"

Xiao Yan was genuinely curious about this.

Because, in this matter, he could clearly feel that Gu Yuan had paid a huge price!

So, what price did his grandfather pay for this?

However, Xiao Lin was speechless when Xiao Lin Xiao Yan uttered the word "liar."

In the end, Xiao Lin took several deep breaths before suppressing the urge to beat Xiao Yan up again.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Now, take that Ninth-Grade Profound Pill that you refined from the Medicine Ceremony earlier. Once you break through to the Late-Stage Seven-Star Dou Saint with the help of that Grade Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, you can go to the Gu Clan."

Here's a letter I wrote to Gu Yuan; you can give it to him later.

After reading the letter, Gu Yuan will help you!

After saying that, Xiao Lin handed Xiao Yan a letter that he had prepared beforehand.

Having heard his grandfather explain things so clearly, Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't be negligent in the slightest.

Immediately, Xiao Yan carefully took the letter from his grandfather's hand.
