The Heavens: Thousands of Households Starting from Number One in the World

Chapter 620: Breakthrough to Doudi within Five Years

As for why it was Xiao Yan, it was all because of Meng Jing's words at the time, which made the three most powerful men suspicious. They felt that Xiao Yan might have other strengths, or something special that they didn't know about.

After learning of Gu Yuan and others' true thoughts, Xiao Yan was frightened but did not refuse. After all, he had a strong enemy outside and even the Gu Clan and the Soul Clan had forgiven each other. Why should he be so fussy when he was alone?

As for why he was special to her, Xiao Yan didn't know.

Maybe it was the mysterious ancient monument, or maybe it was because he was a time traveler.

But Xiao Yan preferred the ancient stone tablet, after all, it was left behind by the Hundred Emperors Era in the Douqi Continent.

Immediately, the three most powerful men began to place bets and brought out their best skills for Xiao Yan to try, just to help Xiao Yan break through.

Even the method of devouring blood was proposed by Emperor Hun Tian. This secret technique came from the Soul-Swallowing Clan, an ancient family that had already been extinct.

Let Xiao Yan devour the ancient clan bloodline remaining in the Ancient Emperor Mirror to completely activate his own bloodline, allowing Xiao Yan's Dou Qi cultivation to directly reach the peak of Dou Wang from the Dou Ling level.

The huge increase in his cultivation was the most shocking, but the most important thing was the huge increase in his aptitude.

Perhaps after Xiao Yan saw that the ancient family really had no ulterior motives and was truly determined to fight against the extraterritorial demons, he no longer had any reservations and directly mentioned the matter of the Burning Decree.

Although the Burning Decree shocked Gu Yuan and others, it made them marvel that there was such a magical skill in the world.

After all, this technique has two characteristics.

Being able to contain many different kinds of fire without fear of backlash may be secondary. The most important thing is that this technique may not have a bottleneck.

Surpassing the Heavenly Stage is only a description of the Burning Technique, and may not be its limit.

But now that things have come to this, I can no longer care where the burning decision came from.

Directly let the people of the ancient family contribute their own strange fire, let Xiao Yan build up his foundation and then swallow the strange fire. And send experts to collect strange fire everywhere to refine Xiao Yan's realm.

Before Xiao Yan came out of seclusion, he devoured the red lotus fire of the Yan clan.

This allowed Xiao Yan to directly advance from the peak of Dou Wang to the peak of Dou Huang.

……

"Uncle Gu, is the continent still in chaos now?" Xiao Yan asked.

Gu Yuan said, "It's not as chaotic as it was a year ago. Many people have begun to calm down and continue to live their lives. Perhaps the matter of the Heavenly Demon is too far away for ordinary people like them."

"It's just...because of the huge blood-red blade hanging high in the sky, many forces began to move to Central Continent, and the rumor that the devil would destroy the world gradually became popular on the continent." Gu Yuan said.

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, he knew that expressing any emotion would not change the current situation.

"Uncle Gu, are you sure you can break through to become a Dou Di?" Xiao Yan asked.

“If the Dou Emperor’s energy had not been lost in the continent long ago, I, Gu Yuan, would not have stopped before becoming the Dou Emperor!” Gu Yuan’s eyes revealed a strong confidence at this moment.

Xiao Yan was slightly delighted when he heard this. He could not deny Gu Yuan's confidence. After all, Gu Yuan had already reached the peak of Dou Sheng a thousand years ago, but due to the lack of source energy, he had not yet broken through his cultivation and soul realm.

"I am confident that I can break through, but I am not sure that I can break through in the last five years before the extraterritorial demons destroy the world." Gu Yuan couldn't help but look worried.

Xiao Yan was silent.

"But don't lose faith. You must be brave in life, because no one knows what the future holds!" Gu Yuan said.

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded seriously.

“Besides, Emperor Hun Tian’s soul realm has already reached the Emperor realm. He may be able to enter the Emperor realm before Zhu Kun and I.” When Gu Yuan said this, a hint of envy appeared in his eyes.

"Him..." Xiao Yan looked at the back of the island palace complex.

There is a huge palace in the back, three of which are constantly releasing majestic pressure. These three palaces are the places where Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and Zhu Kun used their source energy to attack Dou Di in seclusion.

At this moment, there is a palace that exudes an aura that makes people's souls palpitate, and vaguely one can see materialized souls floating.

……

"Well, you should try to consolidate your cultivation in these few months, and then continue to devour the strange fire!" said Gu Yuan.

At this moment, someone from the Ancient Family not far away greeted Gu Yuan, and it was obvious that they had something to tell Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan was about to leave, and on the way he turned back to look at Xiao Yan, with a look of sadness, and said softly: "You should also go and see Xun'er more often! Ever since she became old and aged, she has locked herself in her room and never stepped out."

It was hard for all women to accept that a young and beautiful girl instantly turned into an old and ugly woman. What's more, Gu Xun'er had no fighting spirit in her body and was no different from an ordinary person.

This double blow has made Gu Xun'er's life hopeless and she has no hope for the future.

"I will. Uncle Gu, if it weren't for me, Xun'er might have returned to the ancient world long ago, and she wouldn't have encountered such a thing." Xiao Yan said self-reproachfully.

"Fate is unpredictable!" Gu Yuan took a deep breath and turned to look at the sky above the island. He saw the stars shining brightly, and the starlight was beautiful in different colors. He said, "No one can predict these things."

"Uncle Gu, can Xun'er recover as before?" Xiao Yan asked unwillingly.

"I don't know. Maybe if I break through to become a Dou Di, Xun'er's dried up blood may recover, but I'm not sure!" Gu Yuan said.

"..." Xiao Yan was silent.

So Gu Yuan left.

As for Xiao Yan, he took a deep breath, chose a direction and walked towards it.

The island is neither big nor small. Many people have moved to live on this island with abundant energy from heaven and earth. Not only the surviving ancient tribes, but also some core members of the Thunder Tribe, the Fire Tribe, and the Soul Tribe.

Originally, there were many gaps between these tribes, but because of the incident of the extraterritorial demon, they began to put aside their past grievances, accepted each other one after another, and fought the enemy together.

Walking on the road, Xiao Yan looked at the scenes of some ancient families talking, and couldn't help but recall the time when he was young and playing with Xun'er in the Xiao family.

It was so carefree at that time!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but clench his fists. As he walked, he came to a corner of the island, where the survivors of the ancient clan lived. To be more precise, he came to a building that had been built not long ago.

I knocked on the door and it made a tapping sound.

"Xun'er, open the door! It's me!" Xiao Yan shouted.

There was no movement inside. Xiao Yan took a deep breath again. He had encountered this several times during this period.

Xun'er had been locking herself in the room, and would hardly see anyone except him and Gu Yuan.

Click! The door opened.

Xiao Yan looked at the figure behind the door, whose face was wrapped in cloth with only the eyes exposed, and his heart ached.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, this behavior was nothing more than self-deception, but what could he say? Saying it would only make Xun'er more miserable.

It's all Meng Jing's fault! Torturing Xun'er in this way!
Gu Xun'er didn't say anything, she just looked at Xiao Yan.

Gu Xun'er's eyes, which used to be lively and cold, now looked cloudy and gloomy. Anyone with careful observation skills who saw such eyes could tell that the other person was an old person from his eyes, even if the other person covered his entire face.

"Xun'er!" Xiao Yan said, "I just finished my retreat! I came to your place! Do you want to eat something? I can make it for you!"

Gu Xun'er's eyes shone with tears when she heard this. She did not happily reach out to pull Xiao Yan like before, because she was afraid that Xiao Yan would see her dry and wrinkled hands.

“Xun’er, Uncle Gu said that maybe he will break through to become a Dou Di, and your bloodline may be restored. Then you may be able to return to your original state!” Xiao Yan said, “You must not give up on yourself!”

"Xiao...Xiao Yan...Brother!" Gu Xun'er said in an extremely old voice, "Dad told me...about this matter!"

Xiao Yan was stunned and thought to himself that it made sense. The only purpose of Gu Yuan's clone was to manage the remaining members of the ancient clan. The rest was probably just to accompany and comfort Xun'er.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I will cheer up! I won't fall into despair!" Gu Xun'er said.

Xiao Yan felt uncomfortable, as if he was being pricked by a needle. He said to Gu Xun'er, "Xun'er, after a few years when we have eliminated Meng Jing, I will always be with you until you find a way to recover!"

"I, Xiao Yan, swear here..."

　Tell a joke.

　　The screenwriter was really smart in writing a villain. Why did he spare the protagonist's life when he could have killed him with one blow?

　　You who play King of Glory, you who play League of Legends: Don’t push! Don’t push! Play a little longer! Everyone’s channel: Yell again! Yell again! Then they were overturned.
