"Ancient Clan?" Hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He raised his head and asked Xiao Xuan in a deep voice.
Xiao Xuan nodded: "That's right..."
"Ancient Clan..."
"Back then, I gathered the Dou Di Bloodline of the entire Xiao Clan to attempt to Breakthrough to Dou Di, but I unfortunately failed..."
"However, when I failed back then, I still tried my best to preserve the last trace of the Dou Di Bloodline belonging to the Xiao Clan..."
"And this Dou Di Bloodline is the Xiao Clan's final Legacy!"
Xiao Xuan's expression was calm as he looked at the distant sunset and spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, the great Opportunity Xiao Xuan had mentioned earlier was the Xiao Clan's final Dou Di Bloodline.
"Ancestor, may I ask why receiving the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline requires traveling to the Ancient Clan..."
Xiao Xuan paused before speaking again:
"Because the Xiao Clan's final Legacy location is situated within the Heavenly Tomb..."
"And the Heavenly Tomb is a mysterious space located at the border between the Xiao Clan and the Ancient Clan. Because our Xiao Clan declined, it naturally became territory administered by the Ancient Clan..."
"Therefore, if you want to enter the Heavenly Tomb and head to the Xiao Clan's Legacy location, you naturally have to go to the Ancient World..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a peculiar look flashed in his eyes. Clearly, memories of events from a thousand years ago had inadvertently surfaced in his mind.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi continuously muttered: "Heavenly Tomb, Legacy location..."
Xiao Xuan sighed deeply before continuing:
"The Heavenly Tomb is a particularly mysterious existence..."
"Legend says it was created by an ancient Dou Di. Because it was created by a Dou Di, some Source Qi was also left behind within the Heavenly Tomb..."
"However, if one wants to Breakthrough to Dou Di, Source Qi is the most crucial element. That is why I gathered the Bloodline Power of the entire clan and chose to establish the Legacy location within the Heavenly Tomb, hoping to use the Source Qi there to achieve the Breakthrough to Dou Di..."
"Unfortunately, the residual Source Qi within the Heavenly Tomb was too sparse, insufficient to support my Breakthrough to Dou Di..."
After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, a hint of disappointment flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
In fact, when Xiao Xuan touched that supreme barrier back then, he already knew that his attempt was destined to fail.
Because Xiao Xuan clearly knew that Source Qi was indispensable energy for achieving the Dou Di Realm Breakthrough.
However, the continuous emergence of Dou Di powerhouses in ancient times had already exhausted the Source Qi on the Continent.
Therefore, when Xiao Xuan attempted the Breakthrough to Dou Di, the residual Source Qi across the entire Continent was insufficient to support his Breakthrough to Dou Di.
"So, Little Fellow... if one day you can also reach that level, you should understand what I just said..."
Xiao Xuan slowly lowered his head, looking meaningfully at Xiao Yi, and spoke earnestly in a deep voice.
From Xiao Xuan's perspective, Xiao Yi, who had only just reached the Dou Huang Realm, could not understand the importance of Source Qi.
However, Xiao Yi only nodded after hearing this, remaining silent.
As a Transmigration practitioner, Xiao Yi was naturally extremely clear about Source Qi.
Xiao Yi clearly knew that on the current Fighting Qi Continent, wanting to Breakthrough to Dou Di required relying on the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and the Emperor's Origin left by the last Dou Di, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, in the Ancient Emperor Cave.
Only by relying on these two great Opportunities could one find a sliver of possibility for a Breakthrough to Dou Di in this era lacking Source Qi.
Recalling Hun Tiandi in the original work, he frantically collected the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, all for the sake of opening the Ancient Emperor Cave, finding the residual Source Qi within the Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill, and successfully advancing to Dou Di.
Seeing the thoughtful Xiao Yi, Xiao Xuan smiled slightly and spoke again in a deep voice: "Little Fellow, what are you thinking about..."
"Right now, you don't need to think so much; you only need to focus on improving your strength. After all, the path you need to walk to reach that level is still very long..."
Hearing what Xiao Xuan said, Xiao Yi slowly regained his composure, looked at Xiao Xuan, and asked softly:
"Ancestor, since you chose to attempt the Breakthrough to Dou Di within the Heavenly Tomb back then, why did your Soul appear inside my storage ring..."
Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment but still asked the question that puzzled him the most.
If Xiao Yi remembered correctly, Xiao Xuan's Soul in the original work was trapped within the Heavenly Tomb.
Because the Heavenly Tomb was created by an ancient Dou Di, even top powerhouses on the Continent like Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan could not interfere with its Law.
Why did Xiao Xuan's Soul leave the Heavenly Tomb and appear inside his storage ring after his Transmigration?
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned at first, then spoke softly:
"After my demise back then, my Soul Origin entered the Heavenly Tomb. It was precisely because there was a trace of Source Qi present within the Heavenly Tomb that I was able to survive in a Soul state within the Heavenly Tomb..."
"But the Heavenly Tomb is, after all, a mysterious space created by a Dou Di. Even I could not Breakthrough and escape from it, remaining trapped within the Heavenly Tomb for a hundred years..."
"Until one day, a woman who did not belong to the eight ancient Clans suddenly appeared in the Heavenly Tomb..."
"Although that woman did not belong to the eight ancient races, I could clearly sense at the time that she actually possessed an extremely terrifying Dou Di Bloodline..."
"At that time, she passed through the layers of checkpoints within the Heavenly Tomb, heading directly toward my tomb with a very clear objective..."
"Her goal was precisely the Dou Di Bloodline I left behind a thousand years ago..."
"Although I was only a wisp of residual Soul at that point, for the sake of the Xiao Clan's final Dou Di Bloodline, I could still easily suppress that woman..."
"But that woman proposed an exchange with me..."
"She only wanted one drop of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, and in return, she would be able to bring me out of the Heavenly Tomb..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi frowned: "So, Ancestor, you cooperated with her?"
Xiao Xuan nodded: "That's right..."
"I allowed her to take a trace of the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, and she used a certain secret technique to divide my Soul Origin into three parts, weakening my strength to reduce the Heavenly Tomb's suppression of me..."
"Ultimately, she successfully brought one portion of my Soul Origin out of the Heavenly Tomb..."
"But alas, the Heavenly Tomb's suppressive effect was simply too strong. Even though I had weakened my Soul Origin, I was still suppressed when leaving the Heavenly Tomb..."
"My Origin was damaged, and I fell into slumber..."
"It wasn't until I met you that I finally woke up..."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi with a smile.
Xiao Yi was quite shocked after hearing this: "Ancestor, does that mean you currently only possess one-third of your Soul Power?"
Xiao Xuan nodded: "That's right, you can understand it that way..."
A moment later, Xiao Yi spoke softly again:
"Ancestor, may I ask, if the woman you mentioned was not from the eight great races, why would she possess the Dou Di Bloodline within her body..."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan observed Xiao Yi with a very strange look in his eyes, pondered briefly, and then continued:
"If I didn't sense incorrectly back then..."
"That woman should originate from the ancient peculiar race—the Spirit Devouring Clan..."
