Xun'er
Such a woman appears like a fairy or a pure lotus untouched by the dust of the mortal world, exuding an ethereal and elusive aura that makes her seem untouchable and unapproachable. Some men would probably feel ashamed in the presence of such a girl, born from the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
The abundant energy of heaven and earth surrounding the girl lingered around her, like stars revolving around the moon, constantly flowing into her body according to her will...
This quiet cultivation lasted for nearly an hour, when suddenly a wisp of golden flame flashed out, accompanied by an unusual sense of pressure that spread outwards.
Under this strange pressure, almost the energy of the surrounding world became stagnant, and there was a faint commotion.
Suddenly, as if drawn by some force, streams of energy from heaven and earth began to converge toward the girl.
At that moment, the girl's aura suddenly surged, and a powerful aura spread outwards, causing the area around her to tremble.
At the same time, thick, dark clouds suddenly surged up in the misty sky above the Ancient Realm, and a fierce wind howled through the land.
This sudden scene left everyone in the Ancient Realm stunned. They all turned their gazes toward the mountain where the girl was, and powerful beings appeared on the mountain not far from her.
Everyone's here!
As the words fell, a figure in white slowly appeared in front of everyone from the void.
"Greetings, Chieftain!"
"Gu Yuan!"
They all shouted at the approaching person.
However, due to differences in strength, status, and seniority, they called out to each other differently. At this moment, they all looked blankly at the mountain peak where the girl was!
Soon, someone responded.
"This Heaven and Earth Phenomenon..."
"That's the birth of Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique!"
A moment later, the girl's bright, beautiful eyes, which had been slightly closed, slowly opened. As her eyes opened, a melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, accompanied her joyful tone:
"Peak Dou King!"
"Low Heaven Grade!"
Immediately, Gu Xun'er also sensed the dark clouds overhead and the golden light emanating from them.
"Disperse!"
With her clear shout, the thick, dark clouds stopped rolling and then, amidst the astonished gazes of many, vanished as if they were rootless trees.
'I never imagined that refining just a few Beast Flame and slowly refining the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame would directly elevate my cultivation to the Peak Dou King, and my Cultivation Technique would also directly evolve to the Low Heaven Grade. This Flame Mantra truly lives up to its reputation as the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Tou She Ancient God!'
"Brother Lin Qing, Xun'er is waiting for your arrival in Central Plains!"
The thought of Lin Qing brought a faint smile to Gu Xun'er's usually calm face. This smile had an exquisite charm, as if it added a touch of brightness to the surrounding world.
"Congratulations, Clan Chief!"
"It seems the clan leader has a worthy successor!"
Everyone's faces showed a relieved smile. Originally, they had some complaints about Gu Xun'er failing to obtain the Emperor Jade, but now Gu Xun'er's potential showed that she was fully qualified to become another peak Dou Sheng.
Therefore, people are more tolerant of Gu Xun'er now. After all, geniuses have privileges everywhere, provided they don't die young!
With the protection of Gu Yuan and the Ancient Clan, Gu Xun'er's future as a peak Dou Sheng is practically a certainty.
"I never imagined such a miraculous Cultivation Technique existed in this world!" As the crowd dispersed, Gu Yuan was also somewhat moved. Even with his thousands of years of experience, this was the first time he had encountered such a miraculous Cultivation Technique.
"There's even a wondrous item that can grant someone the wood element; it seems that little guy's teacher is no ordinary person!"
Noticing his daughter's expression, Gu Yuan knew she was thinking about that boy again! Just thinking about the guy who had stolen his daughter's heart made him a little angry!
According to intelligence, that kid has talent, but he's too much of a womanizer!
He never imagined that his decision to let his daughter have a peaceful childhood would allow someone to take advantage of his vulnerability!
When he came to the Ancient Clan, he decided that he would definitely treat him well.
However, he was more interested in getting to know Lin Qing's teacher, who, given his abilities, was likely a Nine-Star Battle Saint.
However, reclusive Dou Sheng are always elusive, appearing only briefly and never revealing themselves. Judging from the fact that this person has never revealed his identity, he is probably another old monster.
He used to think that there were only a few hidden sects in Central Plains, plus the Elder Shennong and additional Dou Sheng power, but now he realized that he was overthinking it. There are probably some other reclusive old monsters in Central Plains or elsewhere.
In addition, the ancient Ancient Dragon Clan from the Magical Beast family is also powerful and mysterious. The thought of these old monsters still existing on the Dou Qi Continent made Gu Yuan feel somewhat anxious.
But for now, let's focus on getting more Heavenly Flames for Xun'er! Let's find some unclaimed flames first, and then exchange them for some that are already claimed!
"This kid is not bad. He's willing to give such a miraculous Cultivation Technique to Xun'er. Maybe he and Xun'er really can break through to that legendary realm!" Looking at his daughter, Gu Yuan murmured gently.
At that time, Xun'er refused to tell him the origin of the Flame Mantra when she was cultivating Flame Mantra, and the wood attribute in her body, which she thought had been burned away by the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, reappeared. He could understand his daughter's desire to keep it a secret, but he was also afraid that his daughter's secret would be discovered by others.
'Hopefully, those old guys from the clan didn't go too far!'
As the clan leader, he knew a thing or two about the attitudes of his clan members. A moment later, Gu Yuan disappeared from the spot.
Unlike Gu Yuan's worries, Xun'er was overjoyed.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Yixian and the others, Lin Qing headed to the clan leader's residence, intending to discuss with Xiao Zhan the possibility of having several of the clan's Da Dou Shi take the Life-Eroding Pill to break through to Dou Wang, and then take Medicinal Pill to increase their lifespan. With these few Dou Wang, the Xiao Clan could then prepare to head to Jia Ma Sacred City.
Although Wutan City is good, its resources are still inferior to those of the capital of the Jia Ma Empire, so it can only be managed as a rear base.
"Aunt! Uncle!" Lin Qing entered her uncle's house and saw Xiao Zhan and his wife.
At this moment, at the entrance of the Xiao Clan's residence.
After a day of fermentation, people came to visit the Xiao Clan in an endless stream.
The lords of various factions in the surrounding towns carried gifts and headed towards the Xiao Clan's location.
Some came to become disciples, some simply wanted to build a good relationship with the Xiao Clan, while many more forces in Wutan City wanted to attach themselves to the Xiao Clan.
The era of the three families standing in a tripartite balance of power— the Xiao Clan, the Aobo Clan Jia Lie Clan— is over. Now, the Xiao Clan family holds absolute dominance in Wutan City.
Although both the City Lord's Manor and the Mittel Auction House have Dou Ling experts, they do not interfere in the affairs of Wutan City, leaving the Xiao Clan to do as they please. Moreover, the Xiao Clan is stronger overall.
