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

257: Chapter 257 Entering the Heavenly Tomb! The Ancestor Meets the Ancestor”Very well, go ahead!”

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating he would wait for Xiao Ting to come out.

After saying this, he raised his head slightly, his gaze falling on a certain spot, and with a cold snort, he released a powerful soul force.

Xiao Ting felt the pressure in front of him lighten, and he immediately utilized Flying Body Tracing to enter, merging with the void.

A flicker of emotion flashed in Gu Yuan’s eyes, and he muttered, ”This method is truly extraordinary.”

Zhu Kun had told him that Xiao Ting mastered a special void escape technique, and even for two Late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng like them, if they weren’t prepared in advance—he had thought it was a joke at the time.

Unexpectedly, it was true; at this moment, even with his Emperor Realm Soul fully released, he could not perceive Xiao Ting’s existence.

Of course, not being able to perceive him didn’t mean he couldn’t be killed; it just meant he had merged perfectly with the void.

Given his strength, he could completely shatter the space within a hundred-mile radius, or even erase it into nothingness.

Even if Xiao Ting merged perfectly with the void, he would be erased along with the void, so this method could not be considered invincible.

But if he didn’t know Xiao Ting was there in advance, he wouldn’t inexplicably go and destroy the space within a hundred-mile radius.

Moreover, he didn’t know the range of Xiao Ting’s void displacement; if it was a thousand miles in an instant, he would be left blind.

Thinking about all this wasn’t because he wanted to take action against Xiao Ting, but simply out of admiration for his future son-in-law’s truly powerful talent and methods.

”Brother Zhu Kun is right; rather than competing with him, it is better for us to help Xiao Ting attain the rank of Dou Di together.”

”Once Xiao Ting attains the rank of Dou Di, he will surely find a way to help Xun’er and Zi Yan attain the rank of Dou Di as well, and it is inevitable that Zhu Kun and I will also attain the rank of Dou Di.”

Gu Yuan calculated silently, while simultaneously ceasing his confrontation with the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb.

Since even he couldn’t perceive Xiao Ting’s existence, the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb certainly didn’t have that ability.

Furthermore, according to Xiao Ting, Xiao Xuan was in the Heavenly Tomb and would certainly help.

On the other side, Xiao Ting transformed into the void, continuously teleporting towards the depths of the Heavenly Tomb. To avoid being sensed by the Spirit of the Heavenly Tomb, he slightly controlled his speed.

Even so, in less than half a cup of tea’s time, he arrived at the bottom layer of the Heavenly Tomb and saw a tombstone standing lonely there.

It looked weathered by the passage of time, yet it faintly emitted an indescribable aura.

It wasn’t intense, but it made even Xiao Ting’s half-step Emperor Realm Soul tremble.

This was the aura of a half-emperor expert that could be felt more intuitively than that of the yellow spring stone tablet.

Xiao Ting arrived before the tombstone and manifested his body, cupping his fists in a salute: ”Xiao Clan descendant Xiao Ting has come to pay respects to the ancestor.”

Inside the tombstone’s burial chamber, Xiao Xuan, who seemed to be sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of astonishment and pleasant surprise in them.

With his strength, he actually hadn’t noticed when Xiao Ting entered the Heavenly Tomb, only sensing him when he spoke.

Peak Five-Star Dou Sheng cultivation; this realm was quite high, far exceeding his expectations and predictions.

The Xiao Clan had fallen, resources were exhausted, and a younger generation descendant had achieved such results relying on himself in a difficult environment—how could this not surprise him, the ancestor?

”Xiao Ting, what a good name.”

Under Xiao Ting’s gaze, the tombstone in front rippled with spatial waves.

Following that, a figure wearing light cyan clothes walked out from within, as if he were the incarnation of this world, giving one the feeling of natural, innate pressure from heaven and earth.

Even Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun didn’t exert such strong pressure!

”Peak Five-Star Dou Sheng strength, this really exceeds my expectations.” A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Xuan’s plain but uniquely charismatic face: ”I had thought that the Gu Clan did not fully abide by their agreement with me.”

”Ancestor, the Gu Clan did not indeed fully abide by their agreement with you.” Xiao Ting stood in the void and replied: ”Five years ago, our Xiao Clan had fallen into the Xiao Family, and the strongest person was merely a Great Dou Master.”

Xiao Xuan: ???

At this moment, Xiao Xuan doubted whether he had fallen into an illusion.

Even if the Gu Clan didn’t fully abide by the agreement with the Xiao Clan, as long as they offered a little help, not to mention Dou Sheng, Ban Sheng, or Peak Dou Zun, at least they could have left one ordinary Dou Zun for the Xiao Clan, right?

Taking a step back, even if they let the Xiao Clan have one Dou Zong to throw their weight around in a remote small empire, that would count as the Gu Clan having some sentiment.

Great Dou Master... He couldn’t reach such a ridiculous level even in his nightmares; it would be better if the Xiao Clan had been completely wiped out.

And what shocked Xiao Xuan even more was that, according to Xiao Ting’s account, he had grown to his current realm in just five years!?

”Ancestor Xiao Xuan, let me first invite another ancestor out.”

Xiao Ting saw Xiao Xuan’s thoughts; he didn’t rush to explain, but raised his hand to summon the Purple Heaven Flame and released Xiao Chen, who was in the Exotic Fire space.

He had already met Xiao Chen, explained some of the Xiao Family’s situation, and had even erased the Purification Lotus Demon Flame mark for Xiao Chen.

”Hmm?”

Xiao Xuan and Xiao Chen looked at each other.

Following that, both of their faces revealed moved expressions.

”Cousin!”

”Cousin!”

Xiao Chen and Xiao Xuan spoke one after another, both very excited.

”You really are still alive; that’s good.” A smile appeared on Xiao Xuan’s face.

”Cousin, I have disappointed you.” Xiao Chen knelt directly on the ground: ”I am a sinner of the Xiao Clan. If it weren’t for me fearing your obstruction, acting willfully to go to the Demon Fire Plains, and arrogantly thinking I could subdue the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, only to be controlled by it and become a Fire Slave, our Xiao Clan would not have withered to this state today.”

The Xiao Clan’s Dou Di Bloodline was nearing exhaustion; it was already a situation of the old generation passing and the new generation not yet ready.

Not counting Xiao Xuan, the Xiao Clan could not compare with the Hun Clan and the Gu Clan; it was about the same as the current Medicine Clan, with the old Clan Head having a strength of an Eight Star Dou Sheng, but he was old and frail.

If the Dou Di Bloodline were exhausted, the one most affected in terms of strength and lifespan would be the old Clan Head.

It was at this time that Xiao Xuan, with his Divine Grade Bloodline, appeared and grew to the half-emperor level.

At that time, all of the Xiao Clan firmly believed that Xiao Xuan was born carrying the fortune of the entire Xiao Clan, believing he could break through to become a Dou Di and bring rebirth to the Xiao Clan.

But Xiao Xuan was not blindly confident; instead, considering the possibility of his own failure to break through to become a Dou Di, he chose Xiao Chen as the seed of the Xiao Clan.

According to Xiao Xuan’s plan, if he failed to break through to become a Dou Di and unfortunately perished from the backlash, he would give the Xiao Clan’s last bloodline to Xiao Chen.

At that time, Xiao Chen’s strength could at least grow to Seven-Star Dou Sheng.

Coupled with the protection of Ancestor Fen Yan, the old Clan Head, that Eight Star Dou Sheng, could look after things for a period of time.

Although not as good as the Hun Clan and the Gu Clan, at least they wouldn’t be at the bottom among the Eight Great Emperor Clans, and there would still be opportunities in the future.

But Xiao Chen went missing, and Ancestor Fen Yan and the Xiao Clan’s old Clan Head went missing while searching for him, causing this carefully prepared backup plan to be cut off.

Xiao Xuan’s attempt to break through to become a Dou Di became a completely desperate act, and it also paved the way for the Xiao Clan’s subsequent complete decline.

If only the old Clan Head were still holding the Xiao World’s Xiao Di remnant soul formation.

And Ancestor Fen Yan was there to support.

Even if the Hun Clan were given ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare to launch a sneak attack.

”This matter cannot be blamed on you; such is fate.”

Xiao Xuan was quite magnanimous; after all, everything had already happened, and investigating whose responsibility it was had no meaning.

With a descendant like Xiao Ting, it showed that his Xiao Clan’s fortune had not yet run out!
