307: Chapter 307 Xun'er's Alluring Smile: I Can Lie Down Now

"It's not Xiao Xuan."

Seeing Huo Zhi's expression, Fairy Huoling's energy Clone raised her hand and tapped her forehead.

"If this boy really had the talent of Xiao Xuan, then even if your aunt were criticized by those old fellows, she would have to work hard to lure him into the Yan Clan. How could it be your turn, little girl?"

This was not an exaggeration.

That was Xiao Xuan, recognized by everyone in the Great Emperor Clans as a Half-step Dou Di.

But even for Xiao Yan, it was only with the Xiao Clan's Divine Grade Dou Di Bloodline, the resource supply of the Xiao Clan—the number one Family among the eight Great Emperor Clans a thousand years ago—and the cultivation of the Legacy of Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques left by Emperor Xiao, that he could reach Half-step Dou Di within several hundred years.

Yet Gu Han has no Bloodline and no special Physique. The power he initially joined didn't even have a single Dou Zong until the Hall of Souls stirred things up. If he can rival Xiao Xuan, his value is clearly even higher; he would be a supreme Prodigy with the potential to become an Emperor in the ancient era.

Xiao Xuan was the Clan Chief of the Xiao Clan, and he had the Xiao Clan to lead. If Fairy Huoling were to become a Dao Companion with Xiao Xuan, she would likely have joined the Xiao Clan.

But Gu Han is a "wild" Xiao Xuan who can be pulled into the Yan Clan to become a member, so Fairy Huoling said she would even risk everything herself.

"Then why did you mention Senior Xiao Xuan?" Huo Zhi also realized she had overthought it and coughed awkwardly.

"I wanted to mention Old Ancestor Fenyan, you know?" Fairy Huoling said crossly, "Don't go guessing blindly."

"Of course I know." Huo Zhi nodded.

Ten thousand years ago, Tuoshe Ancient Emperor became an Emperor, the last known Dou Di on the Fighting Qi Continent.

After Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, five supreme powerhouses appeared on the Fighting Qi Continent, known as the existences closest to Dou Di in an era.

These five were Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan, Old Ancestor Fenyan, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint, the Ancestral Master of the Pill Tower, and the Yellow Spring Demon Saint.

Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan needs no introduction; he was the strongest below Dou Di on the Fighting Qi Continent a thousand years ago and was considered the head of the five supreme powerhouses.

The appearance of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint was related to the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the strange fire ranking list, and he was also the oldest of the five supreme powerhouses.

The Ancestral Master of the Pill Tower was the founder of the Pill Tower, not the current Ancestor of the Pill Tower. It is said that in order to seek an Opportunity to Breakthrough to Dou Di, he went to the Chaos Sea beyond the Fighting Qi Continent.

The Yellow Spring Demon Saint was a member of the Demonic Beast world, and not much is known about him.

As for Old Ancestor Fenyan, he was considered the weakest among the five supreme powerhouses, but also the one with the highest "gold content" because he had no Dou Di Bloodline and no powerful background, relying on himself to step-by-step reach the Late Stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

It is said that Old Ancestor Fenyan subdued the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame and mastered the Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations gifted by Xiao Xuan, once gaining a slight upper hand in a direct confrontation with Hun Tiandi.

But later, for some reason, he mysteriously disappeared. Otherwise, even if Xiao Xuan failed to Breakthrough to Dou Di, the Hun Clan wouldn't have had the courage to launch a sneak attack.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhi realized, "Aunt, do you mean Gu Han has the talent of Old Ancestor Fenyan?"

"Yes." Fairy Huoling's energy body nodded, "Old Ancestor Fenyan could be so strong largely because he received help from Brother Xiao."

"Our Yan Clan is not like those arrogant, self-righteous fellows of the Medicine Clan who shut themselves away. This time, we'll learn from Xiao Xuan."

"If this Gu Han is nurtured well, even if he cannot become a second Old Ancestor Fenyan, it won't be a problem for our Yan Clan to completely suppress the Lei Clan."

These words piqued Huo Zhi's interest completely, and she asked curiously, "Just how excellent is this Gu Han?"

Fairy Huoling's energy body looked deeply at Huo Zhi and raised her hand to take out a portrait.

"This was made by the Half-Saint powerhouse of Sound Valley, Hua Yue Fairy. Take a look."

Hua Yue Fairy of Sound Valley has reached the Middle Stage of the Heaven Realm in her Soul Realm; her paintings incorporate Soul Power.

People with high Soul Realms or great talent can see phantom images through the Soul.

Huo Zhi's Soul Realm has reached the Middle Stage of the Spirit Realm, and she easily read the information in the painting.

On a frost throne, Gu Han sat there with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a handsome face, and an ethereal temperament, like a banished immortal descending to the mortal world.

Based on image and temperament alone, Huo Zhi was willing to call him the strongest among all the opposite sex she had ever seen.

"Excellence is... looking at his face?" Huo Zhi blinked.

"Aunt just wanted you to know that this Gu Han is very handsome." Fairy Huoling let out a teasing laugh, "You were raised by me; I know you. You like beautiful and good-looking things, especially men."

Huo Zhi: "..."

"His talent and strength are, of course, also quite excellent."

"Before the age of nineteen, his cultivation reached the Peak of Six-Star Dou Zun."

Huo Zhi: !

He was indeed excellent. Five years younger than her, without the resources of a Dou Di Family or the guidance of two high-rank Dou Saints, he was actually five stars higher than her. It could be described as terrifyingly formidable.

"His Soul Realm has reached the Middle Stage of the Heaven Realm, comparable to a low-rank Peak Dou Zun, and he killed a One-Turn Peak Dou Zun right under the nose of a high-rank Dou Saint."

Huo Zhi: !!

This was no longer just excellent; it was a heaven-sent Prodigy!

A Middle Stage Heaven Realm Soul meant that Gu Han would have no Bottleneck in cultivating to the ninth turn of Peak Dou Zun.

As long as he was given a bit of Saint Realm Opportunity, such as a bodhi seed, he would surely be able to step into Dou Sheng.

No wonder her aunt and father held him in such high regard.

"Besides that, he created his own Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique."

"He also seems to know a secret technique, claiming to be omniscient."

"In short, this young man is extremely excellent. Go get in touch with him. If you think it's okay, then hook him."

Huo Zhi: !

Now, she finally understood why Fairy Huoling said she wasn't trying to harm or use her.

Judging by conditions alone, Gu Han was indeed a good match.

If he could be pulled into the Yan Clan, he would be worth nurturing vigorously.

Conversations similar to Huo Zhi and Fairy Huoling's also took place in the Shi Clan, Ling Clan, Medicine Clan, Lei Clan, and Gu Clan.

Among them, the Shi Clan, Ling Clan, and Lei Clan all made decisions similar to the Yan Clan, letting women in the clan with excellent talent, strength, and appearance go and contact this wild Prodigy to see if they could pull him into their own homes.

The Medicine Clan held themselves in high regard but were not fools. Valuing Gu Han's Soul talent, they sent out a woman with excellent talent and strength from the clan to try and contact him.

There wasn't much movement from the Hun Clan's side; they only sent a message to the Hall of Souls: if they couldn't get him, they must destroy him, and not let Gu Han become a threat.

The biggest reaction, however, came from the currently strongest clan on the surface, the Gu Clan.

The high-level members and young generation geniuses of the Gu Clan knew the name Gu Han earlier than the other Great Emperor Clans.

This was because not long after the Clan Chief's daughter, Gu Xun'er, was brought back, she became the target of many young people in the Gu Clan, and the Young Clan Leader of the Lei Clan, Lei Dong, even came to propose marriage.

But Gu Xun'er said she already had someone in her heart outside, and that person's name was Gu Han. (She had discussed this with Gu Han beforehand; Gu Han would act as a shield in return, but he had also told Xun'er that if no one was his match in the future, Xun'er would have to become his woman.)

Gu Xun'er also said that when she participated in her coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Han would come to the Gu Clan by his own ability.

Only someone who could defeat Gu Han head-on would win her favor.

So, from very early on, Gu Han had been the imaginary enemy of many young people in the Gu Clan.

But now, this imaginary enemy was making them lose their composure.

"I really didn't expect this." Xun'er looked at the message brought by Gu Qingqing, her smile bright and beautiful: "It seems I can peacefully lay back and do what I want to do."
