Chapter 28

"Senior, I believe you know that I have advanced to the high stage of the mid-level One-star Dou Di, right? I wonder if you can help me conceal it?" Although he had just arrived on this continent, Xiao Yan was well aware that advancing to the high stage of the mid-level One-star Dou Di in just over a month might be quite shocking. Xiao Yan, as always, did not like to show off too much, so he casually asked.

"This is simple, don't worry. After you go out, others will at most see you as a mid-level One-star Dou Di. I really don't understand why you want to hide your strength; it's really boring." Zhan Lao glanced at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was taken aback; he did not expect that Zhan Lao could really help him conceal his strength. He immediately clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you." Then he said no more and turned to leave the tower.

After Xiao Yan left, Zhan Lao's old face broke into a light smile, and he developed a bit of a liking for this young man.

A figure appeared in the room. Xiao Yan carefully put away the floating golden tower as if it were a treasure, then walked out of the room. The warm sunlight poured down, making Xiao Yan, who had spent a full one and a half months in the golden tower, feel an urge to lie down and not move. He covered his face with his hand and, through the gaps between his fingers, gazed at the blue sky, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

The cultivation in the Zichen Spirit Tower greatly enhanced Xiao Yan's strength, but the gloominess inside was truly too oppressive.

Although the light inside the tower was soft and bright, no matter what, the tower was still a tower. No matter how bright the light was, for a person, it was still a place like a cage. Only outside, under the vast sky, could one feel the ease of the heart.

The moment Xiao Yan opened the door, a deafening noise and shouts filled his ears, making him feel a bit dazed. Shaking his head, he came to his senses and looked at the crowd gathered in front of his door, his face filled with shock. What had happened?

Xiao Yan did not know that he, a new Dou Di, had broken a record that countless members of the Xiao Clan had been unable to break for tens of thousands of years. Not only did he break the record, but he also exceeded it by half a month.

He also did not know that after breaking the thirty-day record for initial cultivation, almost all the members of the Xiao Clan did not leave and gathered here, waiting for the birth of a new record. They were curious to know how long Xiao Yan would cultivate and what new record he would create, and even more curious about what level Xiao Yan would reach this time.

They waited, hoping, day after day, three days... It became increasingly exciting, more and more exciting... They even began to hope that the time would be longer and longer.

Throughout the entire Imperial State, no Dou Di had ever reached a one and a half month cultivation period during their first cultivation. Today, in the Xiao Clan, a family with ancient blood, a record was born that not only made the Xiao Clan go wild but also made the entire Imperial State go wild.

At this moment, all the members of the Xiao Clan were focused on the slightly thin figure outside the door.

"He's out! He's out!"

"Forty-five days, a full fifteen days more!"

"One-star mid-level Dou Di!"

The clan members exclaimed in surprise.

"Who would have thought this kid would directly break through to the mid-level One-star Dou Di! And it's the high stage of the mid-level!"

The elders of the Xiao Clan also stared at the figure, their eyes wide with shock. After a long time, a look of extreme joy appeared in their eyes. Breaking through to the high stage of the mid-level One-star Dou Di in one go, if one were to estimate normally, with Xiao Yan's extraordinary talent, perhaps in a hundred years, Xiao Yan could advance to the Two-star Dou Di, and in a thousand years, the Xiao Clan might add a Three-star Dou Di. A Three-star Dou Di, even the ordinary elders in the clan were not much more than that, and none of them had cultivated for thousands of years. But this young man might need only a thousand years or even a few hundred years! Perhaps in thousands or ten thousand years, the Xiao Clan might even give birth to a Five-star or even a Six-star Dou Di.

At this moment, the elders all thought about what it would be like if a Six-star Dou Di appeared in the Xiao Clan. The Imperial State might no longer be able to confine the Xiao Clan. What a Six-star Dou Di represents is power, an immeasurable strength!

"The Xiao Clan! Is it going to rise to greatness?!" Xiao Li, who was far away, looked at Xiao Yan with surprise. After a one and a half month absorption, Xiao Yan had reached the mid-level One-star Dou Di, which was already beyond his expectations. But he did not expect that this kid would not only directly break through to the mid-level but also to the high stage of the mid-level. This was far from just entering the mid-level. As the current actual leader of the Xiao Clan, he clearly knew that the appearance of such a monstrous genius would bring about significant changes to the Xiao Clan in the future.

When Xiao Yan first arrived, no one thought that this unremarkable young man would break a record that had been maintained for tens of thousands of years. But at this moment, a fact was right before their eyes: he had done it, breaking a record that the Xiao Clan had not broken for tens of thousands of years. Not only that, he had created an even greater record—forty-five days, cultivating for forty-five days straight! Directly breaking through to the high stage of the mid-level One-star Dou Di! When would such a record be broken again? The possibility was extremely slim.

At this moment, no one dared to look down on this new Dou Di. Perhaps in a thousand years, they would no longer be able to compare themselves to this young man. Except for fools, no one would easily provoke a person with such genius talent, as it might bring them deadly trouble in the future.

What people thought about the most now was when Xiao Yan would break through to the Two-star Dou Di? Would he become the fastest to break through to the Two-star Dou Di in the Xiao Clan? This question had become a new topic of discussion for countless people. A Two-star Dou Di, even in the Xiao Clan, held a very high status. Becoming a Two-star Dou Di was the dream of countless people still at the One-star Dou Di level. Xiao Yan was now widely recognized as the one who would break through to the Two-star Dou Di the fastest, and many people were filled with anticipation.

Xiao Yan's cultivation this time gave all the members of the Xiao Clan an extremely shocking impression, that of a record breaker and creator. It was too impressive, a one and a half month cultivation and the high stage of the mid-level One-star Dou Di. No one could help but admire it.

The many clan members looked at Xiao Yan with a mix of admiration and envy. Everyone knew that Xiao Yan would undoubtedly become a key focus of the Xiao Clan, and he would be provided with countless cultivation aids and other conveniences, greatly shortening his cultivation time. Such treatment was highly tempting for every member of the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Li and several elders quickly flew forward when they saw Xiao Yan come out.

Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yan, his aged cheeks slightly trembling. Xiao Yan's achievements indeed shocked him greatly, and this would directly affect the development of the clan and even himself in the future.

Xiao Li walked forward, his aged hand heavily pressing on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and gently said, "Let's go, I need to show you something."

Xiao Yan, feeling extremely uncomfortable under the many gazes, immediately nodded. He did not like being stared at by so many people.

Xiao Li then said to the crowd, "Everyone, disperse and go back to your cultivation." The few words were firm and carried a hint of authority.

After saying that, Xiao Li turned and flew away.

Who would dare not listen to Xiao Li?

At this moment, a cold aura spread from the crowd. With Xiao Yan's extremely strong soul perception, no aura could escape his detection. Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and looked at the crowd that was gradually dispersing. In that instant, he felt a cold aura with a hint of killing intent. The strength of that aura was comparable to his own. Xiao Yan came to his senses, realizing that there would be many troubles in the clan.

Without paying attention, Xiao Yan immediately followed Xiao Li's speed and flew away.
