Chapter 791: A Fruitful Harvest
Xiao Ze chuckled at Xiao Yan's words, noticing the familiar determination in his brother's eyes.
"Explaining everything will take some time, so let me make it easier."
With that, Xiao Ze pressed two fingers against his brow. An overwhelming wave of soul power surged from his body, transforming into ripples that spread across the entire Dou Qi Continent.
This soul wave carried information about the Vast Thousand Worlds, including its cultivation system and basic knowledge.
Unlike a direct soul infusion technique, this method only transmitted general information. It posed little strain on Xiao Ze, requiring only a portion of his immense soul power.
The Revelation of the Vast Thousand Worlds
As the soul wave washed over Xiao Yan and the others, their expressions shifted to astonishment.
They had speculated about the greatness of the world Xiao Ze described, but the reality far exceeded their imaginations. The Vast Thousand Worlds were unimaginably vast, and the peak of the Dou Qi Continent, the Dou Di realm, was merely the starting point of cultivation there.
Even the most intelligent magical beasts were left dazed by the influx of information, while sentient beings across the continent were left in awe.
The soul wave revealed staggering truths: in the Vast Thousand Worlds, a single attack from a true expert could shatter a lower plane like the Dou Qi Continent. Their homeland, once thought invincible, seemed fragile in comparison.
Xiao Ze's Explanation
Recovering from the revelation, Xiao Zhan broke the silence, speaking for the group. "Ze'er, what level have you reached now?"
Xiao Ze smiled faintly. "Father, I've recently broken through to the Heaven Sovereign realm. Only at this level do I have the strength to protect the Dou Qi Continent."
He paused briefly before continuing, "I believe the ancient Dou Dis vanished overnight due to their involvement in the Vast Thousand Worlds' war against the Foreign Evil Race. Before leaving, they sealed the passage between our continent and the Vast Thousand Worlds to safeguard this realm."
"The Foreign Evil Race is unimaginably dangerous. Their invasion caused a calamity that devastated countless lower planes, reducing them to demonic territories where inhabitants were enslaved, living lives worse than death."
"Before reaching the Heaven Sovereign stage, I dared not undo the seal left by the ancient Dou Dis. To connect our world with the Vast Thousand Worlds without sufficient power would have risked exposing us to catastrophic danger."
The weight of his words filled the air, the solemnity palpable. Xiao Ze had intentionally withheld these details from the soul wave to avoid panic. The Dou Qi Continent's people were not yet prepared to confront the reality of the Foreign Evil Race.
Hope for a Flourishing Future
Xiao Ze shifted the tone, offering some optimism. "Now that the passage is open, the Dou Qi Continent's energy system will gradually shift. Dou Qi will be replaced by the higher tier spiritual energy of the Vast Thousand Worlds."
"With this energy, breaking through to the Dou Di realm will no longer require Source Qi. As a result, our continent is on the brink of a cultivation golden age."
The revelation left everyone stunned but exhilarated. If breakthroughs to Dou Di no longer depended on Source Qi, the feedback from the Dou Di bloodline alone could elevate countless strong cultivators.
"Could this make our Dou Qi Continent unique in the Vast Thousand Worlds?" Xiao Yan asked, intrigued.
Xiao Ze shook his head. "It's uncertain. Once spiritual energy replaces Dou Qi, the bloodline effects might change. We'll have to wait and see."
Xiao Yan's Reflections
As the group continued to discuss, Xiao Yan's emotions were complex. After achieving the Dou Di realm, he had hoped to stand as an equal to his younger brother. Yet Xiao Ze had soared far beyond, entering a realm that dwarfed even Dou Dis.
Moreover, the gap between Sovereign Stage cultivators and Heaven Sovereigns was vast a true chasm. Still, Xiao Yan smiled wryly. He would continue striving to close the distance.
The Fruits of Xiao Ze's Legacy
During their conversation, Xiao Ze learned how his actions had already transformed the Dou Qi Continent.
After Xiao Yan became a Dou Di, the resulting bloodline feedback had significantly strengthened the Xiao family. Those closely related to Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan, like Xiao Zhan, saw extraordinary growth, propelling the Xiao family to rival even the ancient clans.
Xiao Yan had also taken over Xiao Ze's Alchemist Empire project, inheriting the Nine Trees of Enlightenment that Xiao Ze had left behind. These trees provided unparalleled guidance in alchemy, creating a surge of talent among alchemists.
"Two years ago, I planted the seeds of a prosperous future," Xiao Ze said, smiling as he heard about the proliferation of high level alchemists. "Now, it seems the harvest has come."
The newfound abundance of 8th tier and even 9th tier alchemists would undoubtedly bolster the Source Realm, Xiao Ze's empire in the Vast Thousand Worlds.
A Private Reunion
After catching up with everyone, Xiao Ze finally had time to spend with Xun'er, Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin.
Reunited after a long separation, the bonds between them grew even stronger. Xiao Ze made sure to create a private sanctuary, drawing on a small world he had crafted.
This small world operated on a different time flow, allowing them to savor an extended period of tranquility and love an oasis amidst the storm of responsibilities and challenges awaiting him.
