Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Xiao Clan’s Decline

Hearing the words "Xiao Xuan", Xiao Yi's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Xiao Xuan! A thousand years ago, the youngest Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan, the number one person below Dou Di, the Half-step Dou Di expert, Xiao Xuan!

He never expected that the Soul in his storage ring was actually the Xiao Family's Old Ancestor, Xiao Xuan.

That was an existence infinitely more powerful than Yao Lao.

Indeed, Transmigration means no lying flat!

"Junior Xiao Yi!"

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Xiao Yi reacted extremely quickly; Xiao Xuan's voice had barely faded.

Recovering his senses, Xiao Yi immediately cupped his hands respectfully and said.

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Xuan was also slightly startled.

"Xiao Yi?"

"Are you a descendant of the Xiao Clan, young man?"

Actually, it's not surprising that Xiao Xuan didn't notice, as the current Xiao Family no longer possessed the Dou Di Bloodline, and furthermore, the aura of one-stage Dou Qi within Xiao Yi's body was practically nonexistent before Xiao Xuan.

"What this young man says is true, every word of it..."

Xiao Yi replied in a deep voice, word for word, showing utmost sincerity.

Seeing Xiao Yi's sincere appearance, Xiao Xuan's translucent body actually began to tremble with excitement.

"I never expected that after a thousand years, my awakening would be due to a member of my Xiao Clan!"

"What a fate! Heaven bless my Xiao Clan!"

Xiao Xuan's rich voice was somewhat shaky.

From this, it was clear that not only Xiao Yi but also Xiao Xuan was incredibly excited.

"Young man, quickly tell me, how is the Xiao Clan doing now?"

Xiao Xuan's translucent body flickered, and in an instant, he appeared before Xiao Yi.

He helped Xiao Yi up very excitedly and asked.

After all, a thousand years ago, for the sake of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan gathered the Bloodline Power of the entire Clan to attempt to break through to Dou Di, ultimately failing.

As the Clan Chief, he naturally worried about the Xiao Clan at all times.

Xiao Yi's expression changed slightly, then he softly said:

"The Xiao Clan... is no more..."

"Now it should be called the Xiao Family..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's originally somewhat expectant expression instantly darkened considerably.

"Xiao Family... Xiao Family..."

Xiao Xuan kept muttering, and after a moment, he continued:

"Xiao Family is fine, at least it means my Xiao Clan's Bloodline is still present!"

"Then the numerous high-Rank Cultivation Techniques, Pill Formulas, and medicinal ingredients left by the Xiao Clan should be enough to make the Xiao Family a considerable power, right?"

"What is the current strength of the Xiao Family?"

As Xiao Xuan spoke, the light in his previously dimmed eyes instantly rekindled.

After all, in Xiao Xuan's view, his failure to break through to Dou Di by gathering the Bloodline Power of the entire Clan had completely severed the Xiao Clan Dou Di Bloodline.

It would inevitably have some impact on the Xiao Clan, but as one of the Ancient Eight Clans, its foundation was still not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, when he was attempting to break through to Dou Di, he had specifically asked Gu Yuan that if anything were to happen to him, he must take good care of the Xiao Clan.

Therefore, in Xiao Xuan's consciousness, even if the Xiao Clan lost its Dou Di Bloodline, with its foundation and the care of the Gu Clan, it would surely be a major power on the Fighting Qi Continent.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's extremely fervent and expectant gaze, Xiao Yi's expression grew even uglier.

"Hmm..."

"Ancestor, the strongest person in the current Xiao Family is still the Xiao Family Clan Chief, Xiao Zhan!"

Xiao Xuan nodded: "The strongest person is the Clan Chief? That's reasonable... After all, I was also the Clan Chief back then... What is his strength?"

Xiao Yi took a deep breath and said softly:

"Five-Star Great Dou Shi..."

"Great Dou Master?"

"What Rank is that? It's been too long, I'm a bit hazy on the division of these Realms?"

A hint of curiosity appeared in Xiao Xuan's eyes; after all, he had perished a thousand years ago, and he couldn't quite recall such low-Rank Realms.

After all, the Xiao Clan at that time still possessed the Dou Di Bloodline, and the lowest starting point upon birth would have been a Dou Huang.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's reaction, Xiao Yi's mouth twitched slightly, because he really didn't know how to explain what Realm a Great Dou Master was to Xiao Xuan.

After all, Xiao Xuan, who was a Half-step Dou Di during his lifetime, would view the strength of a Great Dou Master as utterly weak, like an ant.

After a brief thought, Xiao Yi finally said in a deep voice:

"Dou Practitioner, Dou Master, Great Dou Master, Dou Ling, Dou King, Dou Huang..."

When Xiao Yi spoke of Dou Huang, Xiao Xuan waved his hand.

"There are so many Realms before Dou Huang..."

"Is the strongest person in the Xiao Family only at this level?"

"What about the high-Rank Cultivation Techniques left by the Xiao Clan?"

"Did that old fellow Gu Yuan not take care of the Xiao Clan?"

Xiao Xuan's emotions clearly became even more agitated, as what Xiao Yi said was truly beyond his expectations.

However, Xiao Yi shook his head: "The most powerful Dou Technique in the current Xiao Family..."

"Is only the Profound Lion's Roar, Profound Rank Intermediate, mastered by the Clan Chief..."

Xiao Xuan's already agitated emotions became even more so when he heard the words "Profound Rank Intermediate" from Xiao Yi's mouth.

His translucent body also flickered due to emotional agitation.

"Young man, are you truly not deceiving me?"

After a moment, Xiao Xuan, having recovered, spoke again in a deep voice.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan wished that everything Xiao Yi had just said was false!

After all, how could the dignified Xiao Clan, one of the Ancient Eight Clans, fall to such a state?

However, Xiao Yi's eyes were very firm, and he said in a deep voice, word for word:

"This Junior would never dare to deceive Ancestor!"

"The Xiao Family is indeed in this current state!"

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan's dark pupils completely dimmed.

"Never mind, never mind..."

"I should have anticipated this outcome for the Xiao Clan when I attempted to break through to Dou Di that day..."

"What is worth celebrating now is that my Xiao Clan Bloodline is still present!"

"Young man, what Realm are you currently in... Why can't I perceive it..."

Xiao Xuan looked down at Xiao Yi, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Xiao Xuan was known as a Half-step Dou Di expert during his lifetime, and even though only a wisp of his remnant Soul remained, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

Yet, he couldn't see through the Realm of this young man before him at all.

And upon hearing Xiao Xuan's words, Xiao Yi's face darkened.

"To Ancestor, this Junior is currently only at one-stage Dou Qi..."

"Even becoming a Dou Practitioner has become a luxury..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan's expression changed; he hadn't expected the Xiao Family descendant who awakened him to be so weak.

Seeing Xiao Xuan's expression, Xiao Yi paused before continuing:

"This Junior had already advanced to Dou Practitioner three years ago..."

"But overnight, all my Dou Qi vanished..."

Before Xiao Yi could finish, he was interrupted by Xiao Xuan's cough:

"Hmm... Hmm..."

"Becoming a Dou Practitioner at such a young age doesn't seem like something to be proud of, does it..."

"I, for one, advanced to Dou Zun at fifteen..."

Hearing Xiao Xuan preparing to recount his glorious deeds, Xiao Yi slowly said:

"Ancestor, that's not what I meant..."

"This Junior just wants to know, with my weak Dou Qi as a Dou Practitioner, how did I manage to awaken your immense Soul, Ancestor?"

After all, Xiao Yi was truly puzzled; Xiao Xuan was a Half-step Dou Di when he perished, and furthermore, an Emperor Realm Soul.

Could such a powerful being be awakened by just a tiny bit of his Dou Qi?
