The third thing was that Xiao Yan proposed to the daughter of the ancient clan chief.
Intermarriage between foreign races and ancient races has always been an extremely difficult thing to do in the Dou Qi Continent.
In particular, the ancient clans, as top-tier imperial clans, have extremely strict rules, and marriages between their direct descendants and those of other clans have rarely been permitted.
Simply because the bloodline of the Dou Di cannot be defiled.
Even if Gu Yuan were the clan leader, he would still be tortured by those useless elders at the Dou Zun level in this matter.
However, when faced with Xiao Yan's marriage proposal to Xiao Xun'er, Gu Yuan, the patriarch of the Gu Clan, gave a clean and concise reason, which forced these useless Dou Zun to shut their mouths.
Behind this agreement lie three considerations.
Firstly, accompanying Xiao Yan to the door was Yao Chen, who had just personally annihilated the Soul Clan.
The power and influence of this semi-emperor-level expert were enough to make the ancient clans dare not underestimate him in the slightest.
Secondly, Xiao Yan's own strength has long been established, and he is by no means a mediocre talent who relies on others. He has long been qualified to unite with the direct descendants of the ancient clans.
Thirdly, Xun'er and Xiao Yan have known each other since childhood and have fallen deeply in love, and Xiao Xun'er has also agreed to this matter.
With all these advantages, even though Xiao Yan already had a family, none of the elders of the ancient clan dared to say anything.
With Yao Chen's reputation preceding Xiao Yan's potential, neither was willing to offend either of them over this controversy.
What's even more shocking is yet to come.
When Xiao Yan stepped into the Heavenly Tomb and inherited the legacy of the Xiao Clan's ancestors, he surprisingly advanced to the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm at the age of eighteen! Even more astonishingly, his soul power simultaneously entered the Emperor Realm.
It should be noted that with the blessing of the Emperor Realm soul, even though his cultivation level still needs to be honed, Xiao Yan's overall combat strength is now comparable to that of the eight-star Dou Sheng level, such as the patriarchs of the Yan Clan and Lei Clan, and even surpasses that of the patriarch of the Yao Clan!
This incredible progress completely silenced all the doubters, and no one dared to say a single word against Xiao Yan anymore.
Not long after, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er's wedding was held as scheduled.
Three months later, when Xiao Yan reappeared before Xu Qing, his brows were filled with the radiant pride of youth.
He achieved fame at a young age, had a beautiful wife by his side, and had even trampled the once unattainable Dou Sheng realm under his feet. Such a carefree life was enough to make anyone envious.
But this sense of pride was completely crushed the moment he stepped into the Soul Realm.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this?!"
Xiao Yan stood frozen in place, staring blankly ahead.
It was a continuous mass of flesh and blood, like a writhing mountain of meat.
No! To be precise, it's a boundless plain of flesh and blood.
Those chunks of flesh covered almost the entire Soul Realm, their surfaces covered with bluish-black veins, and viscous fluid dripping from the cracks.
What made Xiao Yan even more uneasy was the aura emanating from that mass of flesh and blood.
That was actually the genuine pressure of a Dou Di!
The oppressive force felt like a solid mountain pressing down on his chest, causing even his Emperor-level soul to tremble and his breathing to become labored.
Not only that, but in the gaps between the mountains of flesh, there were transparent culture chambers, the chambers tightly attached to the flesh and blood, like the womb in a mother's body.
Inside the cabin, there were huddled "beings," surrounded by the unique aura of the Soul Clan, yet they had no human form whatsoever.
Some had several twisted arms, some were covered in scales, and some had their facial features blurred into a jumbled mess, with only their outlines barely discernible.
Seeing all this, Xiao Yan was completely stunned, his mind blank.
"Little Yanzi, that is the Soul Emperor." Yao Lao stood to the side, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, and pointed to the mass of flesh in front of him.
"What?!" Xiao Yan's pupils dilated suddenly, and his voice changed tone. "Wasn't the Soul Emperor dead? Teacher, you clearly said back then..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a mass of flesh beside him shrink slightly, and a new incubation chamber bulged out from the edge of the mountain of flesh. The "fetus" inside the chamber took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its body twisted more and more bizarrely.
"vomit-.
Even Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel nauseous at the sight of this mentally polluting scene.
As the "fetus" grew at a visible speed, the Dou Di bloodline within its body awakened, and it instantly became a Dou Sheng.
Sensing the surging power within the fetus, Xiao Yan realized that these countless fetuses before him were actually Dou Sheng!
Among them, the most powerful ones actually reached the level of an eight-star Dou Sheng, and there were quite a few of them!
Xiao Yan didn't sense the aura of these Dou Sheng just now because the Soul Emperor had already covered the entire Soul Realm, and the aura of Dou Di permeated the world, so he could only sense the aura of Dou Di.
Seeing the scene of countless "monsters" being produced, Xiao Yan understood what kind of place this was.
This is a factory!
A factory that uses Dou Di and Dou Di bloodlines as production machinery and Dou Sheng as products!
"Damn it!" After staring blankly at the scene for a long time, Xiao Yan could only utter these two words after thinking for a long time.
"How are you feeling, Mr. Xiao Yan?"
Xu Qing suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Yan at this moment.
Xiao Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forgetting to extinguish the four-colored flames at his fingertips. He gave an unnatural dry laugh, "N-nothing, I just heard that things have calmed down in the Soul Realm, so I came to take a look around and see if I need any help."
Although he said that, Xiao Yan was already filled with remorse in his heart.
Before him lay an endless plain of flesh and blood, with monsters twisted beyond recognition embedded in mountains of flesh, and the Soul Emperor's fleshy shell devoid of consciousness. He had no interest whatsoever in "strolling" around.
If I had known that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Realms would create such a scene with the Soul Clan, I would never have wanted to come, even if you killed me.
Thankfully, I've stopped dreaming, otherwise seeing this scene would give me nightmares for the rest of my life.
"hehe"
Xu Qing saw the barely concealed fear in his eyes and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"You have now entered the Emperor Realm Soul stage. I happen to have a copy of the Dou Di inheritance of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe here. Would you like it?"
"want!"
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Xiao Yan, who had just been listless, spoke almost reflexively, a burning light appearing in his eyes.
Dou Di! That is the ultimate goal that all the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent pursue throughout their lives!
Moreover, he promised his ancestor Xiao Xuan that he would become a Dou Di and restore the glory of the Xiao clan!
But before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yan was suddenly slapped hard on the back of the neck, so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
"What nonsense are you spouting, child!"
The old apothecary quickly stepped forward, waving his hands repeatedly at Xu Qing, a cautious smile plastered on his face.
"Sect Master Xu, please don't take offense. Little Yanzi is just being immature; he has no desire to become a Dou Di at all!"
Xiao Yan was stunned by the slap, then seemed to remember something and looked at the bloody plain behind Xu Qing.
The still-wriggling mass of Soul Emperor's flesh and blood bulged out a new cultivation chamber, and the fetus inside was twisting and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Oh no, how could I have forgotten about that?!
He reacted instantly, his throat moved, he swallowed hard, and quickly waved his hand.
"Haha, Pavilion Master Xu, don't listen to my nonsense!"
Xiao Yan said in a serious tone:
"This Dou Di inheritance is an immense opportunity, only those with the right destiny can withstand it. With my limited abilities, I'd better give up; I'm not worthy of it, truly!"
Although Xiao Yan spoke calmly on the surface, cold sweat was pouring down his back as he spoke, and he secretly wished he could slap himself twice.
Dou Di? Let whoever wants to be it be it!
As for the promise made by Xiao Xuan's ancestor, he prayed silently in his heart.
Ancestor, it's not that I don't want to become a Dou Di, it's just that the fate of a Dou Di is too terrifying. You can surely understand the plight of future generations, right?
