Chapter 29

In the sky above the Xiao Clan, two figures swiftly flew in an unknown direction. These two figures were none other than Xiao Yan and Xiao Li.

After this cultivation session, Xiao Yan clearly felt that the attitude of the clan elders and almost all the clan members towards him had changed greatly. This could be felt from the crowd gathered outside his house and the enthusiastic atmosphere. However, this left Xiao Yan puzzled. He had only undergone a very normal first cultivation session, and the strength he displayed was merely that of a mid-stage one-star Dou Di. In his view, there were not a few clan members in the Xiao Clan with mid-stage one-star Dou Di strength. Why would such a situation and scene occur?

Xiao Li, noticing the uncertain expression on Xiao Yan's face, seemed to have read his thoughts and said calmly,

"Kid, are you wondering why so many clan members are gathered in front of your door, and why they are all so excited?"

Xiao Yan was taken aback and nodded. Xiao Li had hit the nail on the head, and Xiao Yan did not hide his thoughts.

Xiao Li had asked exactly what Xiao Yan was wondering about. For Xiao Li's question, Xiao Yan felt more affection than seriousness from Xiao Li behind him.

"Kid, do you know what you accomplished during these forty-five days of cultivation and what kind of miracle you created? To you, it might have been a very normal cultivation session, but for the Xiao Clan, you did something earth-shattering!" As Xiao Li spoke, the calmness on his face was immediately replaced by a hint of excitement. He turned to look at the puzzled Xiao Yan and continued, "You broke a record that had stood for tens of thousands of years in the Xiao Clan!"

"Tens of thousands of years without being broken?!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan recalled what Elder Zhan had told him. Every Dou Di who came to this continent would have their first cultivation session, and the length of cultivation and the amount of strength gained depended on the individual's innate talent and fortune. After a moment of thought, he seemed to understand.

"What is the highest record in the Xiao Clan?" Xiao Yan asked softly, looking ahead at Xiao Li.

"The highest record in the Xiao Clan is one month, set by our ancestor, Xiao Yao."

"One month?" Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly constricted. At that moment, he finally understood why all the clan members had gathered in front of his door. The moment he had cultivated for thirty-one days must have caused a great stir in the Xiao Clan, let alone the fact that he had actually cultivated for a full one and a half months. No wonder! His doubts were instantly resolved.

"Yes, one month." Xiao Li smiled lightly, his expression very calm, but he seemed to be pondering something. "The ancestor's record was one month, and for tens of thousands of years, no one has broken it. You, however, not only broke the record but exceeded it by half a month. I never thought that someone from the Xiao family would actually break this record. When the ancestor left, he instructed me that if anyone in the Xiao Clan ever broke his record, the clan should spare no effort to cultivate them. I never thought it would actually happen." Xiao Li continued.

"Hehe, I was just lucky." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Li smiled and suddenly stopped, saying softly, "We're here."

The two figures immediately stopped. Xiao Yan looked around but found nothing special about this place. The thick clouds, the endless sky, seemed to have nothing unusual. Why did Xiao Li bring me here?

Just as Xiao Yan was slightly puzzled, Xiao Li moved forward slightly, pointing his finger lightly at the space in front of him. A green ripple spread out from Xiao Li's hand, like ripples on water, across the entire space. In front of him, the originally empty sky suddenly seemed to have a transparent barrier, with energy rippling slightly.

Watching the energy waves ripple out, Xiao Yan's eyes widened. This space actually concealed something. As the energy rippled, a strange energy beam quickly gathered from the edges of the barrier, and a muffled sound suddenly echoed through the space.

Xiao Yan was startled by the muffled sound. When he focused again, a stone door filled with ancient and mysterious aura appeared before his eyes, with the characters "Chaos" clearly inscribed on it.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yan's pupils constricted to pinpricks as he looked at the stone door that had suddenly appeared. The stone door looked very ancient, and an ancient aura slowly emanated from it, containing a kind of intoxicating energy that flowed gently through the space.

Xiao Li looked at the stone door, his finger slightly retracting, and said four words:

"Chaos Ancient Relic!"

The four words were spoken softly by Xiao Li, but they made Xiao Yan's heart tremble. He never thought that such an ancient relic was hidden within the Xiao Clan. Chaos Ancient Relic? Could this be related to the Chaos Sacred Flame that has yet to be fully integrated into my body?

"This ancient relic was left behind by an elder who once possessed the Chaos Sacred Flame. It seems that only the Chaos Sacred Flame can open it. Even the elders in the clan do not know about this relic, so you must never speak of it. Try to see if you can open it." Xiao Li raised his head and said to Xiao Yan.

As the aura of the stone door flowed, it slowly entered Xiao Yan's body. When the aura of the stone door entered Xiao Yan's body, the异火 (Yi Huo) he possessed suddenly trembled, and the aura immediately formed a connection with the异火 (Yi Huo). The faint yellow flames within the异火 (Yi Huo) also began to stir.

"Puff."

Suddenly, a faint yellow flame appeared at the tip of Xiao Yan's finger. Although the flame was small, the power it emitted surprised Xiao Yan greatly.

Xiao Li's eyes lit up as he saw the flame suddenly appear at the tip of Xiao Yan's finger: "Hmm? This is—" Xiao Li carefully examined the flame at the tip of Xiao Yan's finger, a familiar feeling arising, and his pupils constricted to pinpricks as he exclaimed, "You have successfully integrated the Chaos Sacred Flame?"

Xiao Yan naturally guessed that the faint yellow flame on his hand was the Chaos Sacred Flame that Xiao Li and Xiao Long had mentioned. However, he had not fully integrated it; it was just a coincidence during cultivation. Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "This is just a bit that coincidentally integrated during cultivation. It might be a long time before I fully integrate it. I don't know if it can open this relic."

Then, Xiao Yan looked at the stone door filled with ancient aura in front of him. The flame at the tip of his finger seemed to sense something and began to stir wildly. Xiao Yan lightly flicked his finger, and the faint yellow flame shot out, colliding with the stone door and burning slowly.
