"A genuine Heaven Rank Dou Skill?!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi instantly became spirited.
Xiao Xuan nodded: "That's right..."
"Moreover, you have already reached the Dou Venerate Realm. The Earth-rank Cultivation Method you previously learned won't be of much use going forward..."
"At that time, I will also impart to you the truly secretive Heavenly-Tier Cultivation Technique of our Xiao Clan..."
A Heaven Rank Dou Skill coupled with a Heavenly-Tier Cultivation Technique!
Wasn't this combination the standard equipment for every supreme expert on this continent? Since that was the case, Xiao Yi needed to move up the date for his return to Jia Nan Academy.
After all, beneath the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda of Jia Nan Academy, there was still a trace of the sub-flame of the Fallen Heart Flame, as well as the magma world where fire energy was extremely abundant.
Cultivating Dou Techniques there was the most suitable place for Xiao Yi.
The next second, as Xiao Yi took out the qiankun storage ring from the spatial rift.
The entire space immediately produced a slight tremor.
A golden light immediately shone beneath the feet of the two men, Xiao Yi and Xiao Xuan, and a Formation appeared.
It was exactly the same Formation that Xiao Yi had just seen inside the ring.
"No wonder the Gate of Life and Death outside this ruin can help people Cultivate. It turns out that there is a Formation here drawing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi..."
Seeing the Formation beneath his feet, Xiao Yi also roughly figured out the reason why the Gate of Life and Death could quickly increase strength.
As for why strength could only be increased to the Dou King level after passing through the Gate of Life and Death, it was probably because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the area of the Jia Ma Empire had been nearly depleted.
If it weren't for this reason, Jia Xingtian would not have been stuck at the Peak Dou King Realm for so many years without any progress.
However, the Gate of Life and Death was indeed an Opportunity for the Xiao Family.
Currently, the strongest person in the Xiao Family, excluding Xiao Yi and Xiao Xuan, was only a Great Dou Master.
Relying on the Gate of Life and Death, the Xiao Family could Cultivate a batch of Dou King level experts in a short period!
Although they wouldn't be supremely strong, they wouldn't be weak either.
Although the Gate of Life and Death could help those who entered quickly increase their strength, the drawbacks were also obvious.
Because the strength increase granted by the Gate of Life and Death was forcibly poured into the body, this would lead to unstable Dou Qi.
In the original work, Nalan Yanran used the Gate of Life and Death to advance to the Peak Dou King Realm in three years!
Yet, she was still instantly defeated in two moves by Xiao Yan after his great battle with Yun Shan.
Currently, Xiao Yan was undergoing advancement within the Gate of Life and Death. For Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi naturally had absolute confidence that he could resolve the issue of unstable Dou Qi.
After all, Venerable Yao was still by his side.
But for the other Xiao Family members, they probably wouldn't have the ability to solve the problem of unstable Dou Qi.
But this didn't matter. For the rest of the Xiao Family members, reaching the Dou King Realm was enough to serve as a deterrent.
"Ancestor, may I trouble you to set a secret method on this Gate of Life and Death, allowing only those from the Xiao Family to enter..."
"After all, the Gate of Life and Death is the most miraculous place in the Jia Ma Empire, and the current Xiao Family greatly needs its help..."
As soon as Xiao Yi said this, Xiao Xuan understood the thoughts in his heart.
"Of course I can..."
"The current strength of the clan members is truly too weak. It is acceptable to use this to boost their power..."
Xiao Xuan nodded, and then spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi then retrieved the eight Dou Venerate Puppets behind him into the qiankun storage ring, and left this rather humble Half-Saint ruin with Xiao Xuan.
At this moment, within the Gate of Life and Death, Xiao Yan, accompanied by Venerable Yao, had already reached the seventh floor of the Gate of Life and Death!
Xiao Yan was currently sitting cross-legged, absorbing the Spiritual Qi energy within the seventh floor.
With just a glance, Xiao Yi detected that the aura within Xiao Yan's body had already reached the Dou Spirit Realm.
In such a short time, even within the Gate of Life and Death, it was clear that Xiao Yan's talent was indeed quite good.
"Venerable Yao, although this place can quickly increase strength..."
"But the problem of unstable Dou Qi..."
Xiao Yi spoke while cupping his hands toward Venerable Yao.
Upon hearing this, Venerable Yao merely smiled faintly: "Don't worry, don't worry..."
"I will resolve this matter for him..."
Xiao Yi nodded and smiled faintly: "There is one more thing..."
"When Xiao Yan comes out of seclusion from the Gate of Life and Death, I hope Venerable Yao can pass on a message..."
Venerable Yao nodded: "Naturally, naturally..."
Xiao Yi paused before continuing:
"I will not stay in the Jia Ma Empire; I am definitely heading to the Central Plains..."
"When Xiao Yan emerges from seclusion, if he wishes to find me, he can simply come to the Central Plains..."
Venerable Yao nodded:
"The Central Plains..."
"The Central Plains is complex and ever-changing, with experts as numerous as the clouds..."
"However, now that you have reached the Dou Venerate Realm, coupled with the protection of Lord Xiao Xuan, you certainly have the qualifications and strength to venture into the Central Plains..."
"However, I also have one favor to ask. If you encounter Wind Venerable of the Starfall Pavilion during your travels in the Central Plains in the future, please trouble yourself to relay a message for me, telling him of my current situation..."
After Venerable Yao finished speaking, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi smiled faintly and immediately nodded:
"Venerable Yao, rest assured, I will definitely pass on the message for you..."
After giving his instructions, Xiao Yi's figure flashed, and he arrived outside the Gate of Life and Death.
Xiao Xuan reappeared. Xiao Xuan slowly raised his hand and casually drew a mark in the air.
He immediately set the mark upon the Gate of Life and Death, ensuring that only those who possessed the Xiao Clan Bloodline could enter in the future.
Anyone else who wished to lay hands on the Gate of Life and Death and approached within a hundred steps would have their body and spirit instantly destroyed!
"Let's go, Little Fellow..."
"This place will belong to the Xiao Family from now on..."
Xiao Xuan said in a deep voice, and immediately his figure turned into a wisp of light and returned to the storage ring.
Xiao Yi nodded, and then his figure flashed, arriving inside the Xiao Manor.
Although the Xiao Family had only just returned to the Imperial Capital at this time, due to Xiao Yi's influence, the Xiao Family instantly became the most powerful Family within the capital.
Therefore, the Xiao Family's doorstep was now bustling, with an endless stream of visitors coming to pay respects.
Merchants and Cultivators alike wanted to use this Opportunity to establish a connection with the Xiao Family and cling to its influence.
The moment Xiao Yi appeared above the Xiao Manor, the Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan immediately sensed his aura.
The two of them also flashed, arriving in front of Xiao Yi in an instant.
Seeing Xiao Yi, who had been missing for a long time, Zi Yan spoke with a displeased expression:
"Xiao Yi! Where have you been hiding all this time? I can never see you!"
"Do you know how worried the Xiao Yi Xian sister was about you..."
As soon as Zi Yan said this, a slight blush instantly appeared on the Xiao Yi Xian's originally fair cheeks.
Xiao Yi also smiled faintly:
"My apologies..."
"I've been dealing with some matters recently and didn't have time to inform you..."
The Xiao Yi Xian smoothed the hair beside her ear and spoke softly:
"It's fine... As long as you are safe..."
At this moment, Zi Yan couldn't hold back anymore: "It's fine for you two..."
"What about my Medicinal Pills! We agreed to come to the Jia Ma Empire to fight, but in the end, you took care of everything, and I didn't get my fill!"
"You didn't even give me the Medicinal Pills you promised!"
"That's not fair!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately said: "Medicinal Pills? I have them! I will refine them for you right away!"
After all, since Xiao Yi had decided to head to the Ancient Emperor Cave, he had to take good care of this great figure, Zi Yan...
