Chapter 81: Xiao Yan: Five-Star Dou Sheng? Just what kind of freak is he?

"Xiao Yan? Not a bad name."

"After a thousand years, my Xiao Clan finally has someone come……"

Xiao Xuan's projection appeared before Xiao Yan and Xun Er, looking at a junior of his own clan, his face carrying a hint of a smile.

"Follow this old man."

Xiao Yan and Xun Er exchanged a glance, their eyes full of surprise and joy.

Afterward, a group of five followed behind Xiao Xuan together.

They passed through an area shrouded in thick mist, the surroundings gradually darkening, as if light here would be swallowed.

Not long after, they arrived before a stone tablet.

The area around this stone tablet was pitch-black like ink, and the surrounding light was extremely dim.

"This is…… the deepest part of Tian Mu!" Xiao Yan and Xun Er were both shaken by the scene before them.

"This is this old man's Tomb Mansion, come with me."

However, before entering the stone tablet, Xiao Xuan turned back to look at the others of the Ancient Clan.

"You all cultivate outside the stone tablet; energy bodies dare not come here, so rest assured."

After saying that, he went in.

And Xiao Yan and Xun Er followed closely behind him.

The others looked at each other, all feeling somewhat helpless.

However, they also understood that this was Xiao Yan's own fortuitous encounter.

So the others all consciously cultivated outside the stone tablet.

However, the flow of time at the place where this stone tablet was located was far faster than in other places of Tian Mu.

For cultivation, it could be considered an excellent place.

Xiao Yan and Xun Er stepped into the Tomb Mansion; the space inside was very spacious.

And before them stood an ancient palace.

At the palace entrance, Xiao Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

"Do you have anything you want to ask?"

Looking at the ancestor before him, Xiao Yan's eyes turned red, and he poured out all the doubts he had held in his heart for so many years.

Xiao Xuan gave answers one by one.

"It turns out to be like this……"

Xiao Yan's expression dimmed.

"No wonder I don't have a clan tattoo; so the bloodline power of the Xiao Clan has been diluted to this extent……"

Xiao Xuan looked at the dejected Xiao Yan, but there was still a faint smile on his face.

"Back then, the bloodline power of the Xiao Clan was all concentrated on me, so I have always been waiting for someone of the Xiao Clan to appear within this Tian Mu."

"Now, I can pass the bloodline power to you; for the remaining time, you cultivate the clan tattoo here."

Immediately Xiao Xuan raised his hand, and his body actually rapidly aged at this moment, while a pure bloodline power flowed out from within him, then entirely drilled into Xiao Yan's body.

Xiao Yan only felt a powerful and warm force surge into his body, traveling along his meridians everywhere, constantly remolding his body. His skin began to become extremely smooth.

His muscles also became more firm.

"Ah!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a low moan; although this force was powerful, it was accompanied by intense pain, as if all the bones in his body were being reshaped.

Xun Er watched nervously from the side, her hands unconsciously clenched, her eyes full of worry.

"Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright?"

Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he said, "I…… I'm fine."

"Xun Er, don't worry."

Afterward he hurriedly sat cross-legged to absorb.

With the passage of time, that force gradually merged into Xiao Yan's body, and his aura also began to constantly rise.

Xiao Yan broke through all the way to Eight-Star Dou Zun Late Stage.

He also knew that cultivation base gained from external force would surely be floating, so he chose to stabilize his realm at Eight-Star Dou Zun Late Stage.

Next, Xiao Xuan began to impart to Xiao Yan the cultivation method of the Xiao Clan clan tattoo.

"The Xiao Clan clan tattoo is unlike other clans; it is not bestowed, but cultivated, therefore, the increase upon opening is greater."

"At this moment, you need to comprehend with your heart."

Xiao Yan focused his spirit, carefully listened to Xiao Xuan's explanation, and began to cultivate according to the method imparted.

Only to see light flash on his body, one mysterious pattern after another gradually appearing, spreading from his arm to his whole body.

With the appearance of each pattern, Xiao Yan's strength would further increase.

Time flew like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years passed in Tian Mu.

At the place where Yun Yi was in seclusion.

Suddenly, a huge energy fluctuation exploded with him as the center, and the surrounding space trembled!

"Boom!"

Afterward, this energy formed a powerful energy wave that instantly dispersed the surrounding mist.

Yun Yi's aura rose; at one moment, he broke through!

Five-Star Dou Sheng!

In the distance, some Dou Sheng energy bodies sensed this powerful aura; whatever they were doing, they were all instantly scared into trembling.

"I didn't expect that evil star to break through again!"

Even though two years had already passed, these Dou Sheng energy bodies still felt fear upon sensing Yun Yi's aura.

At the same time, those other ancient clan geniuses cultivating in the Third Layer were also startled awake by this energy fluctuation.

Somewhere in the Third Layer.

The Yan Clan's Huo Xuan abruptly opened his eyes from his cultivation state, looking toward Yun Yi's direction with a face full of shock.

"This aura, just who broke through? To actually be this powerful!"

Beside him, Huo Zhi also opened her eyes in amazement.

"Within the Tian Mu, there actually exists such a powerful being?"

On another side, not far from the Crystal Wall.

A woman of the Medicine Clan opened her eyes and sighed lightly, her pupils holding a hint of shock as she looked toward the direction of Yun Yi's secluded cultivation.

"Lei Dong didn't enter; then which clan's genius is this?"

Yun Yi's secluded cultivation ground.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Merely opening his eyes caused an invisible wave of Qi to spread out!

Clenching his fist, Yun Yi felt the surging power within his body, and for the future confrontation against the Soul Clan, he gained much more confidence.

"However, this is still not enough!"

"To defeat the Soul Clan, I need to become even stronger."

A brilliant light flashed in Yun Yi's eyes.

And after his breakthrough, Xiao Xuan within the Shabei Tomb Mansion seemed to sense something; his gaze pierced through space toward Yun Yi's direction, a trace of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"This person, in the future, will surely become a great vessel!"

Hearing Xiao Xuan's exclamation, Xiao Yan felt curiosity in his heart and couldn't help but ask, "Ancestor, who are you exclaiming over?"

Xiao Xuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Xiao Yan and Xun Er, and slowly said, "There is a junior who, in the Tian Mu, hunts those Dou Sheng energy bodies, using this to break through."

Xiao Yan and Xun Er frowned, faces full of doubt.

"Lei Dong didn't enter the Tian Mu; who else has such strength?"

Xun Er lowered her head; in the Tian Mu, the only ones they hadn't encountered were the two people from the Soul Clan.

"Could it be those two from the Soul Clan?"

Xiao Yan could only guess this as well, "When entering the Third Layer's entrance energy Crystal Wall earlier, we never saw those two the whole time."

However, Xiao Xuan shook his head, "That person is filled with hatred for the Soul Clan, and his aura is absolutely not of the Soul Clan, nor does it belong to any ancient clan."

"Could it be him?"

Xiao Yan and Xun Er looked at each other, seemingly thinking of the same person.

Yun Yi.

Given the current situation, it could only be him.

"Did he fake being Soul Clan to enter?"

Xun Er guessed doubtfully, but then frowned again, "But how did he deceive Father and so many clan elders?"

She felt that after going out, she must ask Father.

"Ancestor, that person just broke through; what realm is his cultivation base at now?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Five-Star Dou Sheng!" Xiao Xuan answered calmly.

"Hiss!"

The two sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces written full of shock.

Five-Star Dou Sheng — to Xiao Yan, this was an unattainable realm.

He currently felt immense pressure just to break through to Dou Sheng, let alone Five-Star Dou Sheng.

Xiao Yan's expression turned somewhat unsightly.

Yun Yi had said he would give him time to catch up, until he could no longer see his back...

Now he truly felt this powerlessness.

"You must not belittle yourself either; you have relied entirely on yourself all this way."

"Without the Xiao Clan's Bloodline Power to reach such a cultivation base is already no easy feat."

"Now that you have our Xiao Clan Bloodline Power, your future may perhaps also reach achievements like his!"

Xiao Xuan saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts and smiled faintly.

He was very open-minded about it, not letting the junior bear too much pressure.

After all, Xiao Yan was the first Xiao Clan descendant in a thousand years to come before him.

Finally, on this day.

The Tian Mu produced a massive spatial fluctuation.

A spatial crack appeared in the Sky, releasing a powerful absorption force that swept the entire Tian Mu.

Everyone was sucked into the crack, and then all were squeezed out!
