Ever since Xiao Se subdued the Purification Lotus Demon Flame and the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, two major Heavenly Flames, and then, with the help of Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun, obtained the Emperor Origin within the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode to enter secluded cultivation in the Heavenly Tomb, another two years had passed. In this year, Xiao Se was twenty-four years old, and his fourth, fifth, and sixth children were born successively.
The first child was born by Bibi Dong, named Xiao Xue.
The second child was born by Yun Yun, named Xiao Si.
The third child was born by Medusa, named Xiao Cai.
The fourth child was born by Gu Yuena, named Xiao Yue. With the help of the Void Ancient Dragon royal family's highest secret technique, right after birth, she displayed a talent no less inferior to Xiao Cai, becoming a Dou Zun powerhouse.
Except for Xiao Si, the first four children were all girls.
The fifth and sixth children were a boy and a girl, born by Xun'er, named Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xiaoxiao. Yes, the boy was given the exact same name as the Xiao Family's ancestor, Xiao Xuan, with the purpose of commemorating this Senior who sacrificed himself for the Xiao Family.
When the two little fellows were just born, although they were not as exaggerated as Xiao Cai and Xiao Yue who possessed powerful Demonic BeastBloodlines, because their parents Xiao Se and Gu Xun'er both possessed Divine GradeBloodlines, right after birth, they were detected to have Divine GradeBloodlines. Because of this, the Gu Clan exploded into an uproar. Many people wanted to make the two children directly bear the surname Gu instead of Xiao, but these matters were all suppressed by Gu Yuan.
Are you kidding me? Their precious son-in-law was about to Breakthrough to Dou Di, and yet you went to force someone else's children to change their surname. Once Xiao Se came out of secluded cultivation, let alone taking care of the Gu Clan, it would be a wonder if he didn't skin you alive.
During the period when Xiao Se was in secluded cultivation, the Central Plains was also undergoing heaven-shaking changes. Because the Soul Devouring Life Extinction Array had been destroyed, the Hun Clan brought their plan forward, and the Ling Clan, Shi Clan, and Medicine Clan entered destruction even earlier than in the original timeline. Also destroyed were forces big and small in the Central Plains. In order to gather enough living beings to open the Soul Devouring Life Extinction Array and prepare for ripening the emperor pill embryo, the Hun Clan secretly deployed manpower to launch a massacre targeting the entire continent.
Except for the Yan Clan, the Lei Clan, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, the Gu Clan, and the Sea Alliance—which had established an Alliance with the Void Ancient Dragon Clan and the Gu Clan and possessed several Dou Sheng powerhouses holding down the fort—almost the vast majority of forces suffered attacks from the Hun Clan.
For this reason, these surviving forces united together, and along with the Yan Clan and Lei Clan, established a massive Alliance targeting the Hun Clan, headed by the Gu Clan, the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, and the Sea Alliance.
Under the encirclement and suppression of numerous forces, the Hun Clan suffered frequent heavy blows, and only then did they quiet down a lot.
From then on, both sides tacitly did not make any more moves, as if they were waiting for something.
The Hun Clan was waiting for an opportunity for a traitor to steal the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade of the Yan Clan, Lei Clan, and Gu Clan, while the Alliance headed by Gu Yuan, Zhu Kun, and Long Kui was waiting for Xiao Se to come out of secluded cultivation.
Indeed, Long Kui had also become a member of the Alliance's leadership. Over these years, whatever good things Xiao Se had, he would always reserve them for her first; his Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, and Medicinal Pills were all the best. Moreover, with the help of the massive resources provided by Xiao Se, Long Kui successfully promoted from her initial Six-Star Dou Sheng to the Eight Star Dou Sheng.
She became one of the top powerhouses of this continent.
Originally, with Long Kui's strength, it was not enough to sit on equal terms with the two Nine-Star Dou ShengPeak powerhouses, Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun. However, because of Xiao Se's relationship, Long Kui was chosen as Xiao Se's spokesperson, and this matter was thus settled. During the period when Long Kui was in charge of the Alliance, because Long Kui liked quietness, Red Kui smoothly took over the body of Blue Kui, her main body. For a time, her limelight was unmatched.
Inside the Alliance headquarters.
Xiao Xue was supervising a group of younger brothers and younger sisters in cultivating. Rather than calling it cultivation, it was more appropriate to call it playing around, because this was one of the few leisure times for the little fellows during the day. Except for Xiao Xuan and Xiao Xiaoxiao, who were still young in age, at other times they were either supervised in cultivation by their respective mothers or learning things in terms of etiquette and characters, leaving basically not much time for playing around.
"Sister Xue'er, when is Daddy coming back to see Xiaoxiao?" Xiaoxiao, who was only two years old, asked in a milky voice as she lay on Xiao Xue's body.
"Mhm... it should be soon, right?" Xiao Xue was also not very certain. Although she already possessed Five-Star Dou Sheng cultivation, after all, this was breaking through to Dou Di, which was simply not something she could imagine.
"Sister Xue'er is lying. You said that half a year ago. As a result, Daddy still hasn't come back now," Xiao Si, the eldest son who was already five years old and now a Dou Master, curled his lips and said.
"Mhm? A Si, do you want to refine Medicinal Pills again? If you want to, I'll call your MasterYao Chen over right now." Among Xiao Se's many children, the majesty of the eldest sister Xiao Xue was unquestionable. She glared at Xiao Si, and the latter instantly wilted, his expression changing as he hurriedly ingratiated himself, "Don't, don't call Teacher. Sister Xue'er, I'll listen to you, alright?"
Fairly speaking, Yao Chen was definitely a competent and good teacher, but at the same time he was also a strict teacher. As it happened, their own mother also strongly supported it, so A Si both respected and feared this teacher of his.
"Sister Xue'er, I believe you. Daddy will definitely come back this year. What does that stinky younger brother A Si understand?" Xiao Cai said to Xiao Xue.
After speaking, she did not forget to make a funny face at A Si.
Seeing Xiao Cai calling him a stinky younger brother, A Si instantly blushed and argued, "You're the younger brother—oh no, you're the younger sister. I am the older brother; I was born before you."
"Then why are you still a short stump until now?" Xiao Cai walked in front of Xiao Si with a quirky pace, compared their heights, and said playfully, "Look, you're so much shorter than me. My mom said that when she was pregnant with me, Daddy wasn't together with Aunt Yun Yun yet, so you should call me older sister."
Regarding the question of whether A Si or Xiao Cai was the older brother or older sister, the two beauties Medusa and Yun Yun, who had always been at odds with each other, argued endlessly. Medusa told Xiao Cai that she was the older sister, while Yun Yun told A Si that he was the older brother. Just like that, the two little fellows began bickering.
Seeing this situation between the two of them, Xiao Yue and Xiao Xuan on the side were long used to it.
Right at this moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from the distant horizon, boom.
The sound shook the heavens and earth, instantly spreading across almost half of the Fighting Qi Continent.
"This is the direction of the Black-Corner Region... Could it be..." Xiao Xue furrowed her brows.
As soon as her voice fell, several spatial rifts appeared in the small courtyard. Five beauties—Bibi Dong, Medusa, Yun Yun, Gu Yuena, and Gu Xun'er—walked out from the Void Realm and appeared beside their respective children.
"Xue'er, the Alliance over there has already gone to war with the Hun Clan, but your father hasn't come out of secluded cultivation yet. Take your younger brothers and younger sisters to take refuge in Douluo Space first. Sister Ya Fei's side has already arranged for people to go in first," Bibi Dong said to Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue nodded with a solemn expression. Suddenly, Xiao Xue felt the Bloodline within her body tremble, and following that, her aura abruptly surged.
Five-Star Dou ShengPeak
Six-Star Dou ShengEarly Stage
Six-Star Dou ShengMiddle Stage
Six-Star Dou ShengPeak
Seven-Star Dou Sheng... until it elevated to Nine-Star Dou ShengPeak before stopping.
The same scene also happened to the other children in the courtyard. Xiao Cai, Xiao Si, Xiao Yue, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xiaoxiao all promoted to Dou Sheng. Among them, Xiao Cai and Xiao Yue, who had the highest cultivation, directly stepped into Eight Star Dou Sheng, second only to Xiao Xue.
"This is..." Everyone's faces revealed disbelief.
An expression of disbelief appeared on Xun'er's peerless face as she muttered, "Legend has it that a Dou Di can change their own Bloodline, allowing their descendants to benefit, and can revitalize an entire clan with the power of one person. The cultivation of Xue'er, A Xuan, and Xiaoxiao has skyrocketed... Could it be that Big Brother has stepped into Dou Di?"
