"Dou Di?"
Hearing the two words from Emperor Xiao's mouth, Xiao Yi's body trembled slightly.
And Emperor Xiao, who stood in the Void Realm, smiled faintly:
"Throughout history, those who achieve the rank of Dou Di will each have their own path to becoming an Emperor..."
"Some specialize in Cultivating the Soul, while others fall into the Heart Demon of slaughter, yet can still use killing to prove the Dao and become an Emperor..."
"The path to achieving Dou Di is not singular; the most important thing is to find one's own Dao..."
"In the past, the Fighting Qi Continent was abundant with Source Qi. As long as one found his own path and diligently Cultivated, he would eventually be able to step into the Dou Di realm..."
"But Little Fellow, do you understand..."
"In the era you are currently in, the Source Qi is already gone. Trying to step into the Dou Di realm is now a fantasy. What are your thoughts on this..."
After Emperor Xiao finished speaking, his profound eyes looked towards Xiao Yi, revealing a degree of expectation. Hearing this, Xiao Yi slowly rose to his feet, and after a moment, spoke in a deep voice:
"Replying to Old Ancestor..."
"According to what this Little Fellow understands, the so-called Source Qi is merely a type of worldly energy. It's just that this Source Qi has become the most crucial and indispensable step in advancing to Dou Di..."
"However, based on this Little Fellow's current strength, he clearly has not reached the level to touch that Source Qi..."
Hearing this, Emperor Xiao shook his head, looking slightly disappointed, and spoke softly again:
"Ah, Little Fellow of the Xiao Clan..."
"To achieve Dou Di, Source Qi is certainly important, but the most crucial factor is oneself. Every person is, in essence, a unique world..."
Hearing Emperor Xiao's reminder, Xiao Yi seemed to immediately understand something.
Every person's Physical Body is inherently a unique world... The Soul is the Heaven, the Physical Body is the Earth, and Dou Qi is the energy nurtured by the two... That Source Qi... The next second, Xiao Yi looked towards Emperor Xiao and spoke again:
"Old Ancestor, this Little Fellow understands..."
"Using the body as a seed to Cultivate Source Qi, one can still achieve the rank of Dou Di!"
When Emperor Xiao heard Xiao Yi's words, a smile reappeared on his face.
Immediately, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Little Fellow, your Comprehension Ability is quite good..."
"Using the body as a seed was merely an Epiphany this Emperor had after spending these years in this space..."
"Now, with just a few sentences, you were able to grasp the meaning. Although your Cultivation talent is somewhat lacking, your Comprehension Ability truly astonishes this Emperor..."
"However, Little Fellow..."
"Using the body as a seed, nurturing Source Qi through the spiritual body, and achieving Dou Di—this is a path that no one before has completed. No one can predict how difficult the process will be, or what the outcome might be. Are you willing to try..."
As Emperor Xiao's voice fell, his eyes instantly became extremely serious as he looked at Xiao Yi!
At this moment, the space around Emperor Xiao seemed to be suppressed by the terrifying Dou Di aura, becoming completely still.
In this space, everything around seemed to lose vitality under Emperor Xiao's terrifying aura. The only thing that could be heard was Xiao Yi's steady breathing.
After a moment, Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand, facing the remnant Soul of Emperor Xiao standing above the Void Realm before him, and spoke in a deep voice:
"The path to becoming an Emperor is inherently fraught with danger..."
"Given this Opportunity, I, Xiao Yi, am naturally willing to try!"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Emperor Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
After all, throughout these years, countless Xiao Clan descendants had entered this place, but Xiao Yi was the first to grasp the path to becoming an Emperor embedded within Emperor Xiao's question.
Even Xiao Xuan back then only believed that to achieve Dou Di, one must find the last remaining Source Qi on the Fighting Qi Continent... "Little Fellow... no... Xiao Yi!"
"This Emperor founded the Xiao Clan back then and left behind the precious Dou Di Bloodline. However, due to some irresistible factors, I joined forces with other Dou Di experts of the same era to Seal the planar space, making it very difficult for a Dou Di to appear on this continent again..."
"Therefore, from that time onward, I already knew that the Xiao Clan Dou Di Bloodline would eventually dry up. However, the current me is merely a wisp of a remnant Soul projection, having existed in this space for far too long..."
"It is fate that I was able to wait for you today..."
"Being able to comprehend the capability this Emperor just mentioned, the Emperor Xiao Legacy is not meant for the mediocre, and you... are not mediocre..."
Hearing this, a spark of light flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he roughly understood the meaning of Emperor Xiao's words.
Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Old Ancestor!"
Emperor Xiao waved his hand and smiled slightly:
"Today, this Emperor shall bestow the Emperor Xiao Legacy upon you!"
"The so-called Legacy is merely a Cultivation Technique and a Dou Technique. How much you can utilize ultimately depends on your own fortune..."
As Emperor Xiao's voice faded, he lightly tapped his brow, and two streams of golden light slowly emerged from the Void Realm.
They slowly floated towards Xiao Yi.
Once the golden light dispersed, two golden scrolls immediately appeared in Xiao Yi's palm.
The next second, the golden scrolls transformed into golden light and merged directly with Xiao Yi's Soul.
Only then did Xiao Yi clearly see the contents of the two scrolls!
They were none other than an Emperor-level Cultivation Technique and an Emperor-Grade Battle Skill...
The Emperor-level Cultivation Technique: Origin Primordial Myriad Transformation Method...
The Emperor-Grade Battle Skill: Emperor Might Judgment Seal...
"Using the body as a seed, nurturing Source Qi through the spiritual body..."
"This method is the alternative path to becoming an Emperor that this Emperor devised in this space for the later generations of the Xiao Clan..."
"Now that I have waited for you, this Emperor's mission has been accomplished..."
"I hope this Cultivation Technique can bring a new Dou Di to the Xiao Clan. If, one day, you are able to achieve the rank of Dou Di, I believe the two of us will meet again..."
"Xiao Yi, strive hard!"
"This Emperor hopes to meet you on that battlefield..."
Emperor Xiao's voice echoed leisurely throughout the space. Immediately afterward, the space began to collapse uncontrollably.
And the remnant Soul projection of Emperor Xiao gradually turned into wisps of light, dissipating in place along with the collapsing space...
Xiao Yi's Soul also left this space, returning to his Physical Body, next to Xiao Xuan...
When Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes again, the Emperor Mark on his brow had completely turned golden and could be fully displayed!
And when the Emperor Mark appeared, several strands of Emperor Might vaguely surfaced...
"Little Fellow..."
"Presumably, you received a good blessing from the Old Ancestor, right..."
Xiao Xuan's expression was calm as he spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi slowly got up and followed Xiao Xuan's gaze. He saw that the soul guiding stone, engraved with the character [Xiao], had already lost its light and shattered into several fragments, which lay scattered on the ground.
As the Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan naturally knew that if the soul guiding stone looked like this, it meant that the remnant Soul projection of the Xiao Clan's Old Ancestor, Emperor Xiao, had already departed...
The reason for his departure was naturally that he had waited for the person capable of receiving his Emperor Xiao Legacy, who was Xiao Yi standing before him...
As for what the Emperor Xiao Legacy was, Xiao Xuan was not curious.
Because at this moment, Xiao Xuan felt more relief...
Because the appearance of the Emperor Xiao Legacy signified that after all these long years, the Xiao Clan finally had a clansman deemed worthy by Emperor Xiao...
