238: Chapter 238 Increasing Xiao Yan's Strength! Descendant of the Dou Di

"Little Friend, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

Ling Xiao decisively stood beside Ling Ying, a slightly nervous smile on her face, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

"I would naturally not joke with Senior about such matters."

Gu Han had a relaxed smile on his handsome face: "Senior can ask Senior Ling Ying; not long ago, I just helped him upgrade his main Cultivation Technique to Earth Rank High Grade."

A year and a half ago, he had completed his Breakthrough to Dou Huang in half a month. Since then, he had been able to use the Xuanwu Shell to perform Fusion and deduce Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques. Now, he was not lacking in resources of this kind at all.

"Senior is an Ice Attribute Dou Qi Cultivator like me, so you should understand that I definitely have the most Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques in this regard. Earth Rank High Grade Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques are just the most basic price I am offering. There are more resources, as long as you help guard the Cloud Mist Sect."

Having successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Dou Zong level, Gu Han would certainly not stay in the Northwest Continent for long.

Whether it was to better utilize the Xuanwu Shell Opportunity and turtle divination arts to obtain resources, to find the Netherworld Poison Flame for Xiao Yi Xian, or to come into contact with more powerful Cultivators and Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, he would definitely have to head to the Central Plains next.

It was not just he himself who had to go; he would certainly have to take Yun Yun, Colorful Glass, Cai Die, Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and the other women with him.

However, if that happened, the vast Cloud Mist Sect would only be left with two top-tier combatants: Three-Star Dou Zong Yun Shan and Hai Bodong, who had just achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Zong.

The Gold and Silver Elders had also achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Zong and could fight a mid-level Dou Zong when working together, but they preferred to guard Yunmu City and operate in the Black-Corner Region. Strictly speaking, they were Gu Han's people, not people of the Cloud Mist Sect; there was just a connection.

According to the results of his turtle divination, Jia Xingtian would soon achieve a Breakthrough to Dou Zong, but this person's potential was limited in this lifetime; he could only fight in favorable situations. In short, he could not be relied upon.

Of the four Peak Dou Huang Elders of the Snake-People Clan, the two who held hostility toward Colorful Glass had already been eliminated. The other two had also achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Zong, but they were, after all, members of the Snake-People Clan.

The Cloud Mist Sect, this main base, still needed more reliable people to guard it, and in Gu Han's view, Ling Xiao was the most suitable.

As an Ice Attribute Dou Qi Cultivator, he could quickly Cultivate her and Hai Bodong into combat strength.

Coupled with the resources of the Gate of Life and Death and the life-devouring pill, the future of the Cloud Mist Sect was promising.

"Easy to say, easy to say. I have nothing to do when I return to the Ancient Clan anyway, so I might as well apply for an external posting."

Ling Xiao looked at the scroll handed over by Gu Han, a very bright smile on her face.

Her judgment was truly good; back then, she had picked the stunningly talented Gu Han out of the crowd.

Gu Han smiled indifferently, took a step, and in an instant, crossed several hundred feet to arrive in front of Xiao Yan, Su Qian, and the others.

"Gu Han, why didn't you blow up that Commander Gu Zhen's head?"

Zi Yan immediately leaned forward, looking very unhappy.

"He said he would use one move, so he used one move, and he even gave me an Ancient Clan token. Where did you get such great malice?"

Gu Han reached out and placed his hand on Zi Yan's head.

"That guy's underling bullied my little brother."

Zi Yan puffed out her cheeks and put her hands on her hips: "That Ling Quan's younger brother actually harassed Little Yan's fiancée."

"Oh?" Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Then it was indeed letting them off too easily, but Brother Xiao will have plenty of opportunities to get even in the future."

"Those guys who look down on everyone, I want to keep a respectful distance from them."

Xiao Yan shook his head gently: "However, if there is a chance to meet that Ling Yu again, I will not let him off easily."

"Brother Xiao, some things cannot be avoided."

Gu Han looked at Xiao Yan's somewhat slack appearance, feeling a bit dissatisfied in his heart.

The Xiao Yan in his impression was not like this. Perhaps it was because he hadn't experienced the pressure of the Three-Year Agreement. Although he had also experienced the tempering of his Heart-Nature during his three years as a "trash," he had received a lot of help from him and Yao Lao all along, so he was still lacking a bit.

Therefore, he decided to turn up the heat on Xiao Yan and tell him about the Ancient Eight Clans.

"Brother Gu, what do you mean?"

Xiao Yan sensed that Gu Han's tone was off.

The people who had gathered around also showed confused expressions, though Ling Ying and Ling Xiao were lost in thought.

"Brother Xiao, do you know where Xun'er comes from?"

Gu Han asked directly.

"I don't know, but I can tell that the power behind her is very strong."

A hint of solemnity appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes.

"She comes from the Ancient Clan. Her original surname is Gu, and her name is Gu Xun'er."

Gu Han stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze distant as he began to explain: "If a Cultivator reaches the Dou Di level, they will possess the ability to change their own Bloodline, allowing their descendants to benefit. They can revitalize an entire race with the power of one person. Those with a rich Bloodline have no Bottleneck before reaching the Semi-Saint level."

"The Family where a Dou Di resides is called an Emperor Clan, and the Ancient Clan where Xun'er belongs is just such a Family."

Hiss!

Xiao Yan, who was hearing this information for the first time, felt a shock in his heart.

He knew Xun'er had a major background, but he didn't expect it to actually be related to a Dou Di.

But immediately after, his heart tightened, and he felt an invisible pressure.

It was not difficult to judge from the array of the Black Annihilation Army that came to pick Xun'er up to return to the clan that this woman's status in the Ancient Clan was not low. So how could she have grown up in the Xiao Family in the small Wutan City?

"Brother Gu, if you want to be with Xun'er, the pressure is not ordinarily high."

Xiao Yan chuckled, his expression very solemn.

"High?" Gu Han gave a faint smile: "Let's put it this way: don't say I am a Dou Zong at eighteen; even if I were a Dou Zun now, if I couldn't reach the Peak Dou Zun, I would have no qualifications to be recognized by the Ancient Clan."

"Upon reaching Peak Dou Zun, and provided Xun'er agrees, I would have the qualifications to marry into the Ancient Clan, but that is on the condition that Xun'er's Bloodline grade is not high."

"If Xun'er's talent is very strong, then only if I step into the Dou Sheng level will it be possible for me to become her Dao Companion again."

Xiao Yan was already so shocked he could not speak.

To the former Xiao Family, the top ten experts of the Jia Ma Empire were all mountains that were out of reach.

Now that he had reached Peak Dou Wang and apprenticed himself to Yao Lao, the former number one Alchemist on the continent, he did have many more prospects for the future.

But Dou Sheng was still a height he dared not fantasize about, even with the pride unique to a Transmigration.

Confidence and hard work were not the same thing as blind arrogance.

"The point now is on you, not me."

Gu Han watched the changing expression on Xiao Yan's face and changed the subject: "You must be very confused as to how someone with Xun'er's status could grow up in your Xiao Family. When she came to your Xiao Family, the strongest person in the Xiao Family was only a Great Dou Master."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao and Ling Ying also revealed expressions of curiosity. Given their status in the Ancient Clan, they clearly did not know the reason for Xun'er coming to the Xiao Family.

"I am not very clear about the specific reason, only that it is related to Xun'er not being able to formally Cultivate for the first dozen years or so."

Gu Han would naturally not discuss Xun'er's affairs; his goal was to put pressure on Xiao Yan.

"But I do know part of the reason why she chose your Xiao Family."

"Throughout history, quite a few Dou Di have been born, so naturally, quite a few Emperor Clans have existed."

"It is just that for some reason, no Dou Di could be born ten thousand years ago. Some of those Emperor Clans went far away beyond the Fighting Qi Continent, some were annihilated, and some had their Bloodlines abandoned as time passed, fading into the crowd."

"A thousand years ago, there were the eight great Emperor Clans: Xiao, Hun, Gu, Yan, Lei, Yao, Shi, and Ling."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's pupils shrank, and he said with a trembling tone: "Brother Gu, this Xiao, it wouldn't be my Xiao, would it?"
