Chapter 269: Getting Ready to Go (Do Not Read)
On the top floor of Dan Tower, in Xuan Kongzi’s Yun looked at Yao Lao who suddenly appeared. A faint aura of pressure, similar to that of Xuan Kongzi, emanated from his body. Obviously, he had also broken through to the semi-saint level.
"Mr. Yao, congratulations on your retirement." Xiao Yun quickly bowed and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, brat, I went out for a walk and didn't expect to change so much!"
Yao Lao helped Xiao Yun up, then his eyes stayed on him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "Boy, I know you are talented, but your progress now is beyond my expectations.
In just one year, you have jumped from a three-star Dou Zun to an eight-turn peak Dou Zun. If it weren't for the fact that a few of us old guys broke through to the semi-saint level, we would have been caught up by you!"
Hearing this, Xuan Kongzi on the side nodded slowly, not caring about Yao Lao's previous ridicule. This kind of improvement in realm is indeed very terrifying.
The eighth-turn peak Dou Zun is only two steps away from becoming a semi-saint. Ordinary people may be stuck in these two steps for their entire lives, but with Xiao Yun's talent, it won't take long before he breaks through to become a semi-saint.
"It was just a moment of good luck. The sudden rise in my realm was not entirely due to cultivation, but was due to my encounter with the ancestor of the Xiao family..."
Xiao Yun was not surprised by the two people's reactions. Basically everyone who saw him would have such a reaction. He immediately recounted his experiences in the ancient clan in a very brief manner.
After hearing what Xiao Yun said, Xuan Kongzi and Yao Lao both showed a look of shock on their faces, but the reasons for their shock were different.
The former was because of Xiao Xuan, a powerful man from the continent in the past, and the latter was because of the Xiao clan.
"I didn't expect that you are actually a member of the Xiao clan..." After a while, Yao Lao came back to his senses and sighed.
As a member of the same ancient family, he naturally knew of the existence of the Xiao clan, but he thought that the Xiao clan had long disappeared in the long river of history.
"So this time, you entered the Ancient Clan with your identity as a member of the Xiao Clan?"
Xuan Kongzi asked curiously. He didn't know as much about the ancient family as Yao Chen did, but he also knew that to enter the ancient family, relying solely on the identity of Elder Danta was not enough.
The Zhongzhou power division of “one tower, one palace, two sects, three valleys, and four square pavilions” is nothing but a joke in front of these ancient families.
An ancient family like the Gu Clan, even if only a small part of its power is revealed, can easily destroy the first-rate forces in Zhongzhou. Even the Little Danta is just a larger ant.
"Old Xuan is right. It is precisely because of my identity as a member of the Xiao clan that I was able to enter the ancient world."
Hearing Xiao Yun's answer, Xuan Kongzi nodded slowly, but Yao Lao thought of more.
He also knew a lot about the ancient clans, or rather, people from the ancient families all had a common problem: they were very conceited.
Given the current situation of the Xiao clan, they are probably not eligible to receive the invitation from the ancient clan and enter the ancient world. Xiao Yun must have paid other prices.
However, Yao Lao did not intend to ask this question. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and some secrets cannot be told even to the closest people.
"Okay, Xiaoyun, I won't talk about your life in the Ancient Clan anymore."
Yao Lao waved his hand, then pulled Xiao Yun down, sat on the sofa, and said, "Xiao Yun, I know your character, but I still want to tell you something.
You have had top-notch talent and opportunities along the way, which has led to your current status as an eighth-level Dou Zun in your early twenties.
But you must remember not to be arrogant. Even if you are a Dou Sheng, you need to bow your head in front of a behemoth like the Ancient Clan. "
“Also, although there is only one step between the peak Dou Zun and Dou Sheng, this step has trapped countless people.
You do have great talent, but if you can’t advance to the semi-saint level in a short period of time, don’t be too anxious. In the pursuit of power, you’re taking the wrong path.”
Yao Lao paused as he spoke, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he continued: "When I was young, in order to seek revenge, I did not hesitate to use elixirs to overdraw my own potential, but later, I was stuck at the peak Dou Zun for decades and never made any progress.
Your talent is much better than ours, so I don’t want you to follow my old path.”
"Don't worry, that won't happen." Xiao Yun listened carefully and answered solemnly.
He knew that Yao Lao was afraid that he would be affected by this sudden increase in his cultivation, and when his cultivation speed slowed down in the future, he would use crooked methods to improve his realm.
For ordinary people, the Nine Revolutions realm is a chasm that is difficult to cross. From ancient times to the present, countless peak Dou Zuns have been stuck at this step until death.
But Xiao Yun is different, he has a cheat! He won't be stuck with a bottleneck, no matter what the bottleneck of a semi-saint or a fighting saint is. For him, as long as the fighting spirit is reached, it will be fine.
No matter what crooked method it is, as long as it can provide energy, it is a good method!
Of course, Xiao Yun couldn't possibly say these words to Yao Lao and the others, so he had to agree on the surface to show that he wouldn't do anything rash.
"That's good..."
Yao Lao nodded slowly, took a sip of tea, and then said, "In addition, as a member of the Xiao clan, you must be careful of the people in the Soul Palace.
Like me, the last time I went back to Xingyun Pavilion, those rats in the gutter actually sent out the Second Heavenly Venerable to annihilate Xingyun Pavilion in one fell swoop!"
"That's right. If Yao Chen hadn't been careful at that time and notified us as soon as Gu You appeared, I'm afraid you would have no choice but to go to the Soul Palace to find him now." Xuan Kongzi on the side also took over the conversation and spoke.
"Guyou attacked Xingyun Pavilion? Are Xiao Yixian and Qinglin okay?" Xiao Yun's heart tightened when he heard this, and he asked quickly.
“It’s okay. This time I have to thank those two little girls. If they hadn’t returned in time and helped to contain most of the Soul Palace Heavenly Masters, I’m afraid Xingyun Pavilion would have suffered heavy losses.
After this incident, the two of them were about to break through, so I brought them to Danta directly, and now they are still in seclusion to break through. "
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, feeling relieved, and said, "That's good. When did they start their retreat?"
“Just half a month ago, Xiao Yixian broke through to the first level Dou Zun, and your sister Qinglin broke through to the fifth level Dou Zun.
It is easy to break through to the Five-Star Dou Zun level, but even if it is a Minor Medical Immortal, it may take several months."
The first level of Dou Zun is considered a breakthrough, but it is not really the case.
When ordinary people reach the nine-star Dou Zun level, their bodies are full of Dou Qi. In order to obtain new Dou Qi, they have to compress all of their own Dou Qi.
Only when new Dou Qi appears in this already full body can one be called a First-level Dou Zun.
"First-level Dou Zun, four-star Dou Zun...it seems that they have gained a lot from this trip to the Western Region."
According to the experience in the original time and space, Xiao Yixiu made such great progress because she completely controlled the poisonous body and absorbed all the poisonous fighting spirit in her body.
As for Qinglin, he didn't know, but he remembered that when she left, she said that the Heavenly Snake Ancestor took her to find a relic.
The special physiques of the two allowed them to advance several small realms in just four months. If Xiao Yun had not been able to obtain Xiao Xuan's inheritance during this trip to the Heavenly Tomb, she would probably have reached the same realm as Little Medical Fairy.
It was this period of seclusion that made Xiao Yun a little worried. He had originally thought that he would be able to meet Xiao Yixian and the other two directly after returning. …
Xiao Yun and Yao Lao chatted for a long time, until it got dark and the tea was all gone, then they stopped.
"Okay, Xiaoyun, you should have a good rest today. After traveling for a year and being hunted by the Soul Palace, I'm afraid you didn't even get much sleep, right?
Now that we are in Danta, we don’t have to worry. The rats in the Soul Palace dare not come here to act recklessly. "Yao Lao smiled.
In fact, it was only a little thrilling at the beginning, and there were bodyguards protecting us at the back.
Xiao Yun thought secretly in his heart, but did not refuse. When he turned around to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He took out a jade slip made entirely of jade from his ring and handed it to Yao Lao.
"Master Yao, I also know a thing or two about what happened to you back then.
This is an invitation I got from the Medicine Clan. When I come back from the Beast Territory, we will go together."
Hearing the word "Medicine Clan", Yao Lao's expression suddenly became a little unnatural. He stared at the jade invitation for a long time before he opened it and took a look.
When he saw the words above, his pupils shrank slightly, "Yao Xingji? This little guy's temper is similar to those old guys. I didn't expect that you could get an invitation from him..."
"Well, I've experienced his temper, but after I beat him up, he became much more obedient." Xiao Yun smiled and did not reveal too many details.
"Forget it, I'm already an outcast of the Yao Clan, and that place is no longer my clan's land..." Yao Lao shook his head and handed the invitation back.
"No, you keep it."
Xiao Yun waved his hand and did not take the invitation. Just from the fact that Yao Lao knew about the existence of Yao Xingji, he understood that the latter still had some feelings for the Yao clan.
The reason for the refusal was simply because he was worried that the two were not strong enough and would be humiliated in vain if they went.
"Just consider it as me leaving it with you first. I'll ask you for it when I come back from the Beast Territory."
"Well, let's talk about this matter after you come back from the Beast Territory!" In the end, Yao Lao accepted the invitation and put it in his ring.
……
In the following days, Xiao Yun stayed in Danta, without being disturbed by anyone, and lived a very leisurely and comfortable life.
He spent the whole day in Danta's library, reading through a large number of alchemy notes, absorbing the essence of the ancient alchemists.
From time to time, when inspiration came to him, he would run to the alchemy room specially prepared for Elder Danta to make medicine and test out his ideas.
In this way of life, more than twenty days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when the ancient ruins were about to be opened.
……
"Xiao Yun, why haven't Sister Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin come out of retreat yet..."
In a study room, Xiao Yun was lying on a chair, flipping through a medicine refining notebook with great interest.
On a sofa not far from him, Zi Yan was sitting bored, holding a jade bottle in her hand. From time to time, she poured out a few pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
"They are in retreat for a breakthrough, so it's normal for it to take a long time."
"Then why don't you take so long?"
"Because I'm not normal."
"..."
Hearing Xiao Yun's extremely perfunctory answer, Zi Yan clenched her fists, but when she thought of the former's strength, she quickly let go and had to turn her anger into appetite, swallowing the pills in big mouthfuls.
Soon, she had finished all the pills in the jade bottle. Just when Zi Yan wanted to reach out to Xiao Yun for another bottle, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open.
"elder brother!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Yun turned his head with some surprise, only to see a pretty girl standing at the door of the study, looking at him with a smile.
"Qinglin, are you out of seclusion?"
"Well, I just came out of retreat, and as soon as I came out, Aunt Xuan told me that my brother had arrived at Danta." Qinglin smiled brightly and said crisply.
Xiao Yun nodded slightly, glanced at the other person, and found that the Dou Qi in her body had already reached the level of a five-star Dou Zun.
"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough." Xiao Yun said with a smile.
Qing Lin smiled and nodded, then thought of something and said, "Not as good as my brother. Aunt Xuan told me that my brother's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Dou Zun!"
"Haha, you don't have to compete with me. It's enough as long as you make progress in your cultivation." Xiao Yun shook his head, put the alchemy notes back into his ring, and continued: "You are out of retreat, what about Xian'er? She should be almost there, right?"
"No, Sister Xiao Yixian is still in the retreat room, but Aunt Xuan has sensed that it will take at most half a month for Sister Xiao Yixian to successfully compress the Dou Qi in her body."
"Half a month? We can't wait that long..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yun sighed. There were only a few days left before the ancient ruins would be completely opened. The Dragon and Phoenix Origin Fruit inside was too important and they could not miss it.
Not to mention the dragon and phoenix bloodline, just in the original time and space, after Zi Yan swallowed it, she completely digested the energy in it and directly evolved from a juvenile Taixu ancient dragon to a four-star Douluo!
Not to mention that Zi Yan now has experienced the baptism of Zhu Kun's bloodline. After taking it, to what level will her strength soar?
"It seems that Xian'er will have to go to the Beast Territory alone..."
Xiao Yun thought so, and seeing Qing Lin's puzzled expression, he immediately explained: "There is an ancient relic in the Beast Domain, and there is a treasure inside, which is of great use to Zi Yan.
The opening time of this relic is in the next few days, so we have to set off to the Beast Realm now."
"Will brother take me with him? Qinglin also wants to go with brother."
Hearing this, Qinglin nodded, then a pitiful expression appeared on his face and he said coquettishly.
She wanted to follow Xiao Yun and the others, but she was afraid that her strength was too weak and she would hold everyone back.
"Of course I will take you with me. I still have to settle accounts with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. Anyone who resists will be thrown into your Green Snake Space and used as your nutrients."
Xiao Yun nodded and said, he still remembered the incident with the Venomous Snake Fighting Saint. That was the closest time for him to death. If it weren't for the intervention of Patriarch Huoyun, the grass on his grave would have been three meters high.
How could he forget this account?
