Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

167: Seven-star Fighting Saint, outlining the clan crest!Over the past two and a half years, Xun’er’s Bloodline Power had recovered by seventy percent, and her cultivation also showed faint signs of a Breakthrough.

Although Xiao Xuan’s image grew increasingly faint, he remained by the blood pool, his gaze never leaving Xiao Ze.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ze, in the blood pool, had a Qi that gradually grew heavier from its initial stability.

The barrier of the Six-Star Dou Sheng was being slowly washed away by the newborn Bloodline and Dou Di Power.

Until this day, the last trace of energy in the blood pool was absorbed by Xiao Ze, and the pool water completely returned to its original clarity.

”Buzz—!”

A muffled hum suddenly emanated from within Xiao Ze, followed by a vast Qi, far surpassing that of a Six-Star Dou Sheng, erupting fiercely!

This Qi swept through the entire hall like a tsunami, causing fine cracks to appear on the stone pillars of the palace, and the ground began to tremble violently.

Xiao Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, an astonishing light bursting forth from his pupils: ”He’s about to Breakthrough!”

Xun’er also instantly stood up, her gaze fixed on Xiao Ze.

At this moment, the latter’s tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, and a purple-gold light flashed in his pupils before vanishing.

That was an anomaly of the newborn Bloodline fusing with Seven-Star Dou Sheng Dou Qi; even the surrounding space rippled under this pressure, and the stone pillars in the hall were instantly covered in fine cracks.

”He succeeded! Seven-Star Dou Sheng!”

Xiao Xuan fiercely clenched his fists, his aged face filled with excitement, ”He not only broke through his Realm but also completely fused the three Bloodlines of the Xiao Clan, the Ancient Clan, and the Dragon-Phoenix into one. This level of control is even stronger than mine back then!”

Xun’er also let out a sigh of relief, stepping forward quickly, her eyes full of joy: ”Brother Xiao Ze, you’ve finally broken through! Now, even the Hun Clan would find few who could be your match!”

Xiao Ze slowly raised his hand, feeling the surging power within his body.

Unlike the usual superficiality of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, his Dou Qi was built upon the Foundation of a Six-Star Dou Sheng, fused with Dou Di Bloodline and Dragon-Phoenix Power, making it heavy yet domineering, with every circulation resonating with the energy of heaven and earth.

He stepped on the water’s surface, his figure floating like a falling leaf to the side of the blood pool, and bowed deeply to Xiao Xuan: ”Thank you, Ancestor, for resolving my Bloodline conflicts and for assisting my Breakthrough with Dou Di Power. Without you, I would never have achieved what I have today.”

Xiao Xuan quickly helped him up, his eyes full of gratification: ”Your Breakthrough is due to your own resolve. However, you should thank Xun’er even more.”

”Without her Ancient Clan Bloodline, the three Bloodlines could not have fused, and you would not have reached this stage.”

Xiao Ze turned to look at Xun’er, his eyes filled with warmth. Xun’er, however, gently shook her head: ”Brother Xiao Ze, there’s no need for us to say such things.”

Xiao Xuan’s tone suddenly shifted, and his expression became solemn: ”The newborn Bloodline in your heart is the key to revitalizing the Xiao Clan.”

”If you can challenge the Dou Di in the future, the discarded Bloodlines of the clansmen will be revitalized, perhaps even stronger than the Dou Di Bloodline of yesteryear!”

”But for now, you must be wary of the Hun Clan.”

He paused, then continued: ”When the Xiao Clan was at its peak, it could only contend with the Hun Clan. Their actions are strange, and their strength is probably even greater than the Ancient Clan’s. They have always coveted the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline, and now that you have broken through to Seven-Star, they will surely intensify their search for you.”

Xun’er’s expression changed slightly; as a member of the Ancient Clan, she naturally understood the Ancient Clan’s strength but hadn’t realized the Hun Clan was so formidable.

Xiao Ze clenched his fist: ”If the Hun Clan comes, I will ensure they never return!”

”You have been in the Heavenly Tomb for two years, and you will be teleported out in another year.”

Xiao Xuan patted Xiao Ze’s shoulder, and with a grasp of his hand, a scroll adorned with flame patterns appeared in his hand, ”You haven’t learned the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change. This is the complete Cultivation Technique. It will not only help you activate the Xiao Clan’s clan markings but also fuse your Bloodline with your Dou Qi, unleashing the ultimate power of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng.”

Xiao Ze’s eyes instantly blazed with fervor as he reached out and took the scroll: ”Ancestor, does this Skyfire Three Mysterious Change require the activation of an abnormal flame? Did you also possess an abnormal flame back then?”

”I had three abnormal flames back then, but unfortunately, they were all detonated in the final battle,” Xiao Xuan sighed, ”I suppressed the abnormal flames by sheer strength back then, but you can refine abnormal flames with your strength. The Skyfire Three Mysterious Change in your hands will be even more powerful than it was in mine.”

Xiao Ze nodded, immediately sat cross-legged, and placed the scroll against his glabella, as a vast amount of Cultivation Technique information flooded his mind.

The Skyfire Three Mysterious Change is divided into three forms: the first two forms can amplify Dou Qi, while the third form can activate the Bloodline and delineate the clan markings.

After digesting the information, Xiao Ze immediately attempted: ”Skyfire Three Mysterious Change! First Change! Second Change!”

As he formed the hand seals, the Dou Qi within his body surged dramatically, and a scorching temperature permeated his blood vessels, as a strange power rushed towards his glabella.

Soon, his glabella glowed, and a purplish-red pattern slowly emerged, followed by the second, then the third... But just as the third pattern formed, with a soft ” laugh” sound, the pattern instantly dissipated.

Xiao Ze opened his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed: ”Why did it fail?”

”The Xiao Clan’s clan markings consist of nine strokes, and you only delineated three,” Xiao Xuan explained, ”Drawing the clan markings requires immense Dou Qi and extreme control. You have just broken through to Seven-Star, and your Dou Qi has not yet fully solidified, so failure is normal.”

”Moreover, once the clan markings are activated, you will only need a thought to use them in the future, without expending any more Dou Qi. The beginning is always the hardest.”

Xiao Ze took a deep breath, and refocused his mind: ”I’ll try again!”

In the days that followed, Xiao Ze immersed himself in Cultivate.

He repeatedly formed seals and delineated the clan markings daily, his Dou Qi becoming more refined with each failure, and his control steadily improving.

Xun’er, meanwhile, Cultivate to restore her Bloodline, occasionally helping him sort out his chaotic Dou Qi.

Xiao Xuan also frequently offered guidance, teaching him how to leverage the resilience of the Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline to reduce Dou Qi consumption.

Finally, one morning, Xiao Ze had delineated the eighth stroke of the pattern on his glabella.

He took a deep breath, activating the power of the newborn Bloodline, and his fingertip Dou Qi moved precisely like a fine needle.

The ninth stroke of the pattern descended along a slow but firm trajectory, without the slightest pause.

”Buzz!”

As the last point landed, the profound purplish-red clan markings were completely formed, Xiao Ze’s internal blood flow suddenly accelerated, and a Bloodline hum resonated throughout the hall.

He opened his eyes, and with a thought, the clan markings vanished into his glabella, a smile gracing his lips: ”I finally succeeded!”

Xiao Xuan nodded with satisfaction: ”With the clan markings, combined with the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change and the newborn Bloodline, your strength can reach another level. There is still some time until the teleportation, so you should adapt well and completely fuse the power of the Seven-Star Dou Sheng with the clan markings.”

Xiao Ze stood up, stretching his limbs, his internal Dou Qi and Bloodline perfectly resonating.

He looked out of the hall, his eyes filled with determination: ”Ancestor, rest assured, once I leave the Heavenly Tomb, I will ensure the Xiao Clan stands firm, and make the Hun Clan pay the price for their past sins!”

As time passed, the teleportation power of the Heavenly Tomb began to subtly fluctuate.

According to the Heavenly Tomb’s rules, entrants could only stay for a maximum of three years, and the deadline was now approaching.

Xiao Ze stopped Cultivate, feeling the surging power within him and the increasingly proficient secret technique, and cupped his hands to Xiao Xuan: ”Ancestor, the teleportation power has arrived; Xun’er and I should return.”

Xiao Xuan nodded, took out a blood-red token from his Pregnant, and handed it to Xiao Ze: ”This is the Xiao Clan’s Bloodline Token. Holding this token allows you to mobilize some of the Xiao Clan’s hidden forces.”

”If you encounter a critical situation, crush the token. Although my remnant soul in the Heavenly Tomb cannot directly intervene, I can send you messages to contact the Ancient Clan or other ancient races for assistance.”

Xiao Ze took the token, carefully putting it away: ”Thank you, Ancestor! I will not fail you on this journey. I will revitalize the Xiao Clan and make the Hun Clan pay the price for their past sins!”

Xun’er also bowed to Xiao Xuan: ”Senior Xiao Xuan, Xun’er and the Ancient Clan will remember today’s kindness. If the Xiao Clan ever needs help in the future, the Ancient Clan will surely assist.”

Xiao Xuan looked at the two of them, his eyes full of expectation: ”Go! The fate of the Central Plains is for your generation to rewrite!”

Xiao Ze and Xun’er stood side by side, a faint blue teleportation light gradually emanating around them.

As the light grew more intense, their figures slowly became transparent, finally disappearing completely within the ancient hall.

Xiao Xuan gazed at the empty hall, softly murmuring: ”The Xiao Clan... finally has hope...”
