The Heavenly Tomb was shrouded in mist and deathly silent, when suddenly, the space in the Void Realm twisted, and Xiao Se emerged from it, bringing Xun'er and Xiao Xue with him.
Because they could stay inside for three years while only half a year would pass in the outside world, Xiao Se was in no rush to go and find Xiao Xuan.
Utilizing his Soul at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Xiao Se used his head Spirit Bone, combined with his Angel Spirit, to execute a Soul-attack Spirit Ability: Angel Roar.
He took Xiao Xue and Xun'er to the first layer for a killing spree, wantonly capturing energy entities. In just two months, he helped Xun'er advance from a one-star Dou Zun to a six-star Dou Zun. However, after reaching Nine-Star Dou Zun, the energy entities in the first layer had negligible effect on Xiao Se and Xiao Xue, so they did not break through to become a one-turn Dou Zun.
After entering the second layer, Xiao Se continued to use his Soul-attack Spirit Ability to hunt down energy entities.
It had to be said that the rule-based Soul-attack Spirit Ability originating from the Douluo Continent was very useful; for the incorporeal Soul energy entities in the Heavenly Tomb, it was simply a weapon of mass destruction.
As long as one's own Spirit power was sufficiently strong, Xiao Se could instantly kill energy entities even if they were stronger than him.
Relying on the powerful Spirit power at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, the trio was invincible in the second layer. Encountering energy entities at the half-Saint level was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables for them.
Compared to the first layer, the second layer was significantly smaller, but the quality of the energy entities within it had improved greatly. The three of them stayed in the second layer for one month. Xiao Se and Xiao Xue both raised their cultivation to the Peak of the Nine-Turn Dou Zun, while Xun'er's cultivation reached the One-Turn Dou Zun. After the energy entities in this second layer no longer had much use for them, Xiao Se, Xiao Xue, and Xun'er headed to the third layer.
Upon reaching the third layer, the trio began to encounter trouble. Facing Dou Sheng-level energy entities, their previously invincible Soul attacks were greatly diminished against enemies with a difference of one major Realm, causing only damage but unable to kill. In the end, Xiao Se had to pull out all his trump cards: releasing his two great Spirit True Bodies, fusing his Demon Sword, and executing the fourth layer of the secret technique Fire Gods Wrath along with his two great Domains and Exotic Flames, only then did he manage to deter that group of Dou Sheng-level energy entities.
Just then, a somewhat excited voice suddenly rang out from the Void Realm.
"So many years, I have waited for so many years, and finally, I have waited for a descendant of the Xiao Family."
As the voice faded, a man in green robes walked out from the Void Realm. The man in green robes was not particularly handsome, but he possessed an indescribable temperament. He had black hair draped over his shoulders and a pair of ink-black eyes that were like black holes—deep, filled with a strange kind of wisdom, and exuding a charm that made people intoxicated.
The man in green robes looked at Xiao Se and Xiao Xue, his eyes filled with gratification.
"Xiao Xuan."
Feeling the throbbing of his Bloodline, Xiao Se could not help but call out.
Regarding this Old Ancestor of the Xiao Family who had suddenly appeared before him, Xiao Se felt somewhat conflicted. After all, he had come here purely for the great Opportunity of the Heavenly TombSoul, not to restore the past glory of the Xiao Family. Even if he were to restore it, it would only be the Xiao Family composed of himself, his wife, and his children.
As for others like Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, or Xiao Li, they had absolutely nothing to do with him; at most, he would provide a little care.
"Are you hating me? It seems I am truly a failure as an ancestor!" Hearing Xiao Se address him directly by name, Xiao Xuan immediately misunderstood, but he was not angry; instead, he laughed at himself.
"Hate wouldn't be the right word. After all, when it comes down to it, you were doing it for the Xiao Family; you just used the wrong method." Seeing Xiao Xuan mocking himself, Xiao Se twitched his mouth and said indifferently.
Although the decline of the Xiao Family was largely related to Xiao Xuan gathering the Xiao Family's Dou Di Bloodline into himself and gambling the fate of the entire clan on himself alone, which in turn gave the Hun Clan an Opportunity.
However, what did all that have to do with him, Xiao Se? Looking at the entire Xiao Family, besides Xiao Yu, his deceased parents, and the housekeeper, when all was said and done, everyone else was just a stranger with a thin blood relation to him.
"Is that so!" Hearing Xiao Se's words, Xiao Xuan sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to Xiao Xue. "The Bloodline on this little girl seems very similar to my descendant here. Is she her older sister?"
"Uh..." Xiao Se twitched his mouth, but saw Xiao Xue walk up to Xiao Xuan, curtsy gracefully to him, and say with a smile: 'Ancestor, you have misunderstood. I am not Daddy's older sister, but his daughter, Xiao Xue. By the way, my daddy's name is Xiao Se. Don't forget that, Ancestor.'
This time it was Xiao Xuan's turn to lose his composure. He asked in confusion: "I am the ancestor of the Xiao Family and can know your specific ages through the resonance of our Bloodlines. Xiao Se's age is only twenty, while you are nearly thirty, a difference of nearly ten years. Could it be that the place where you lived before was like the Heavenly Tomb, where the flow of time was slower than the outside world?"
"You can think of it that way." Xiao Xue nodded slowly, walked to Xiao Se's side, hugged his arm, rested her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "In any case, you just need to know that I am Daddy's daughter. Hehe."
Watching the intimate behavior between Xiao Xue and Xiao Se, Xiao Xuan smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself: Father and daughter, so be it. As long as they are descendants of my Xiao Family, that's fine. He then turned his gaze to Xun'er. Seeing her affectionately hugging Xiao Se's other arm, a knowing smile appeared on his lips: "You little girl, the Bloodline on you is very similar to Gu Yuan's! Could it be that you are also a 'daughter' of my descendant here?"
Upon hearing this, a blush instantly appeared on Xun'er's pretty face. She bowed respectfully to Xiao Xuan: "Gu Yuan is my father. Xun'er greets SeniorXiao Xuan. Xun'er is not Big Brother's daughter, but Big Brother's woman."
By the time she finished speaking, Xun'er's voice was as soft as a mosquito's. She lowered her head, her pretty face becoming even more crimson, and eventually, even her neck was dyed a pink hue.
"You juniors are quite interesting. However, since you are his daughter, it is not surprising that you possess a Divine GradeBloodline. The three of you, come with me. I cannot leave the Tomb Mansion; I am currently just a projection. Come with me to the Tomb Mansion; I have something to tell you." As he spoke, Xiao Xuan turned and flew towards the deepest part of the Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Se, Xiao Xue, and Xun'er looked at each other, nodded, followed Xiao Xuan, and flew towards the depths of the Heavenly Tomb.
After flying for about a quarter of an hour, the four of them finally stopped in a pitch-black space. The surrounding space was deathly silent and shrouded in darkness, with only a simple, ancient tombstone standing alone in the center.
"This is it. Come in with me." Xiao Xuan pointed to the tombstone and dove into it. Xiao Se and the others nodded and followed closely behind.
