People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

219: Chapter 219 The Whereabouts of the Burning Flame Ancestor? Unfortunately, Xiao Xuan miscalculated!”What did you say you found!?”

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor picked at his ear.

”Old Ancestor, Brother Xiao Ting said he found the inheritance left behind by the Founding Ancestor.” Tang Huo’er stood to the side, answering prettily.

”My ears aren’t deaf, I can hear!” Fire Cloud Old Ancestor’s mouth twitched.

He was a Dou Sheng, after all; if he wished, he could hear clearly what Xiao Ting was saying even from a hundred miles away.

The reason he asked was simply because he found it unbelievable.

It was hard to say when the Founding Ancestor of their Burning Flame Valley had gone missing or whether he had left behind an inheritance; in any case, they, the people of Burning Flame Valley, did not know. Yet, Xiao Ting had discovered it just by visiting Burning Flame Valley once!?

”It is a coincidence.” Xiao Ting smiled and nodded at Tang Huo’er, saying, ”The item used by Ancestor Fen Yan to leave behind the inheritance originated from my Xiao Family. As long as one awakens the Xiao Family Dou Di Bloodline, one can sense it within a specific range.”

”This junior recently obtained the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations and used the methods left behind by the ancestor within it to awaken the Clan Tattoo.”

As his voice fell, Xiao Ting activated the Xiao Clan Tattoo. The seventh-grade Clan Tattoo allowed his cultivation to instantly explode to the early stage of a Nine-Star Dou Zun.

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor: !

It seems the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations is indeed something belonging to the Xiao Clan.

Originally, he had harbored some doubts, but seeing Xiao Ting’s outstanding talent and the fact that the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was not exactly an ”untold secret,” he had gone along with it and agreed.

Now it seems the Xiao Clan and Burning Flame Valley are as thick as thieves.

”Where is the Ancestor’s inheritance?” Fire Cloud Old Ancestor asked.

”Below.” Xiao Ting pointed a finger toward his feet.

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor immediately released his soul power to investigate, but even after going deeper into the Lava World, he still found nothing.

”Senior, that inheritance is on a holy stele in the depths of the Lava World. Once you go there, use your blood to awaken it. You are the descendant of Ancestor Fen Yan, so there will certainly be no problem.” Xiao Ting reminded him.

”Good.” Fire Cloud Old Ancestor did not doubt him. He waved his hand to create a spatial barrier, wrapping Xiao Ting and Tang Huo’er inside before diving downwards.

About a quarter of an hour later, the three arrived at the deepest part of the Lava World.

This time, Fire Cloud Old Ancestor finally sensed something; holding his chest, he rushed toward a certain layer.

Before long, a purple energy light barrier appeared before the three of them. At the very center of that energy barrier was a stone stele that was purple all over, engraved with flame patterns.

The moment Tang Huo’er and Fire Cloud Old Ancestor saw the stone stele, a feeling of bloodline connection rose in their hearts.

Xiao Ting did not have that feeling, but his Clan Tattoo emerged on its own, establishing a faint connection with the fenyan holy stele.

”It really is the inheritance left by the Founding Ancestor!”

Fire Cloud Old Ancestor was extremely excited. He brought Xiao Ting and Tang Huo’er through the purple barrier without any obstruction, arriving before the fenyan holy stele.

Just then, three small flames wrapped in lightning appeared and submerged into the space between their eyebrows, bringing them some information.

It was precisely the five methods for accepting the inheritance that Xiao Ting had obtained through the Plane Blessing.

”Both the Xiao Clan and the descendants of the Tang family of Burning Flame Valley can obtain the inheritance. This holy stele is actually made of materials provided by the Xiao Clan; no wonder...” A look of realization flashed in Fire Cloud Old Ancestor’s eyes.

The existence of this holy stele could be said to be the result of the efforts of both Burning Flame Valley and the Xiao Clan.

Although it was left by Ancestor Fen Yan, both the Xiao Clan and the Tang family had the qualifications to inherit it.

According to the last wishes of Ancestor Fen Yan, if not for the fact that the Xiao Clan’s bloodline was about to be exhausted and the geniuses within the clan were withering at that time, the Tang family would have joined the Xiao Realm to become an affiliated clan.

However, Ancestor Fen Yan was a brilliant talent who had reached the level of a high-tier Dou Sheng, and with Xiao Xuan intending to prepare a way out, this did not happen.

”So that’s how it is.” A look of realization also flashed in the depths of Xiao Ting’s eyes.

Ancestor Fen Yan had recorded some past events in the holy stele, mainly related to his whereabouts, but it also revealed the situation of the Xiao Clan at that time.

It turned out that a thousand years ago, among the Eight Great Emperor Clans, the Xiao Clan’s Dou Di Bloodline had been the first to dry up, and they had already begun to decline. Their strongest member was only at the mid-stage of the Eight Star Dou Sheng, which was even worse than the current Yan Clan and Lei Clan, though better than the Shi Clan, Medicine Clan, and Ling Clan.

The Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan allied to resist the Hun Clan, while the positions of the other clans kept changing, focusing mainly on maintaining balance.

Xiao Xuan, who was already two hundred years old, rose to prominence at that time, growing all the way to the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

He created the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations, simultaneously controlling three types of Heavenly Flames, making him the strongest in the same realm.

The original intention of Xiao Xuan creating the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations was to extend the Dou Di Bloodline and facilitate the imprinting of the Xiao Clan Tattoo.

However, apart from Xiao Xuan, the strongest in the Xiao Clan was only an elderly Eight Star Dou Sheng, with a few Seven-Star Dou Sheng and Six-Star Dou Sheng.

The situation of the Gu Clan was similar to the Xiao Clan, but their bloodline was still in its peak period, and they also produced a powerhouse at the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng, the Gu Clan leader.

When touching the barrier of the Dou Di, Xiao Xuan also realized that the exhaustion of the bloodline could not be changed by the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations; there had to be a new Dou Di.

He took a gamble, but he did not act recklessly; instead, he made arrangements in advance.

First, he prioritized clan resources for his cousin, Blood Axe Xiao Chen, who was young and had talent second only to him in the Xiao Clan.

As long as Xiao Chen grew to the level of an Eight Star Dou Sheng, even if the bloodline was exhausted, he would at least be able to protect the Xiao Clan and make it a hidden force.

Secondly, he left half of the Xiao Clan’s top inheritance and resources, handing them over to his life-and-death friend, Ancestor Fen Yan, so that he would look after the Xiao Clan and train Xiao Chen in the future.

This was a deployment Xiao Xuan had made in advance, considering that he might fall if his breakthrough to Dou Di failed.

Besides this, Xiao Xuan certainly had other arrangements, but those were not known to Ancestor Fen Yan.

But before Xiao Xuan was ready to charge toward the Dou Di realm, something happened.

During the time when the Purification Lotus Demon Flame appeared in the world, the highly anticipated Xiao Chen suddenly went missing.

The Xiao Clan was anxious, and since Xiao Xuan was preparing to fuse the Dou Di Bloodline of the entire clan, he entrusted the old clan leader, who was at the mid-stage of the Eight Star Dou Sheng, to go with Ancestor Fen Yan to find Xiao Chen.

As a result, an accident occurred during the search.

At the last moment, Ancestor Fen Yan only had time to send back a soul message to the fenyan holy stele.

[Plane crack, an upper realm passage appeared. The plane storm is inescapable. Descendants of Burning Flame Valley, pass this message to the Xiao Clan.]

It was this message that made Xiao Ting and Fire Cloud Old Ancestor understand why Ancestor Fen Yan had gone missing.

”Man proposes, God disposes.” Xiao Ting sighed inwardly.

This message clearly had not been passed from Burning Flame Valley to the Xiao Clan, and even if it had been passed on, it would have been meaningless, because Ancestor Fen Yan and the old clan leader of the Xiao Clan had clearly never returned.

Then, for Xiao Xuan, what was the situation he was facing at that time?

The Xiao Clan’s Dou Di Bloodline had already begun to gather on him, and the matter of charging toward the Dou Di realm was like an arrow on the bowstring.

Xiao Chen, whom he had vigorously trained to deal with the situation of his potential fall, had mysteriously gone missing, related to the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.

The Xiao Clan’s strongest external aid, his Nine-Star Peak Dou Sheng old friend to whom he was worth entrusting half of his resources, had mysteriously disappeared along with the Eight Star old clan leader.

At that time, would Xiao Xuan have suspected that Ancestor Fen Yan had absconded with the assets?

The Hun Clan was able to ambush Xiao Xuan without hesitation; perhaps this was not without reason.

If Ancestor Fen Yan were still around, if the Xiao Clan still had the support of the old clan leader, an Eight Star Dou Sheng...

A pity, Xiao Xuan miscalculated!
