Chapter 525: Proposing with a Mystical Pill?!
"Xiao Ze pays his respects to the ancestor!" Xiao Ze bowed respectfully to the figure in the green robe, his tone reverent and his expression tinged with reluctance. Although his time had been primarily focused on cultivation, Xiao Ze frequently sought guidance and listened to Xiao Xuan's teachings, greatly admiring his talent and capabilities. It was no wonder he had reached the pinnacle of power on the Dou Qi continent during an era when the Xiao clan's lineage was dwindling.
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Ze with great satisfaction. After spending time together, he felt extremely pleased with this descendant of his. "Xiao Ze, I hope you can lead the Xiao clan to flourish anew. If so, even if I completely dissipate, I will have no regrets."
Xiao Ze pursed his lips solemnly and nodded, "Ancestor, I will do everything in my power to honor the Xiao clan bloodline that flows within me!"
"Good! You are indeed the peerless genius born in an era when our clan's bloodline was supposed to be exhausted!" Xiao Xuan laughed heartily and gently patted Xiao Ze on the shoulder, his eyes filled with expectation and hope.
After their farewells, Xiao Ze and Xun'er both felt a sense of rejection from their surroundings, as if the Heavenly Tomb itself was pushing them away. Xiao Xuan quickly added, "Before you leave, I have one last thing to say. Your soul realm is at the peak of the Heavenly Realm and still growing, your soul talent is beyond doubt."
"If you encounter an insurmountable threshold in the future, you can ask Gu Yuan to let you enter the Heavenly Tomb again. In terms of soul realm, I can still help you one more time, offering you a great opportunity!" As Xiao Xuan's words fell, Xiao Ze and Xun'er vanished from the spot.
Looking at the empty darkness around him, Xiao Xuan shook his head slightly. "It's quiet again... heh, but at least this time, the bloodline of the Xiao clan will continue."
Elsewhere, Xiao Ze felt a strong force repelling him, preventing him from staying in the Heavenly Tomb any longer. It seemed that the entire firmament was resisting his presence.
Xiao Ze did not fight against this repulsive force, pondering the words Xiao Xuan had said before parting. "It seems that because my soul power is still increasing, the ancestor thought my soul potential was still very plentiful and didn't want to rush my development."
Xiao Ze mused internally. However, Xiao Xuan had made a slight miscalculation: Xiao Ze's soul power was still increasing not because of unexplored potential, but because he had previously bound Dan Chen's soul talent. Until he reached an insurmountable threshold, he could continue to enhance his soul power through this soul-devouring talent.
Additionally, after his soul took residence in the Source Tree, he underwent various profound changes, one of which allowed him to continuously cycle the Xuan Qing Soul Method. This change meant Xiao Ze was constantly cultivating his soul technique, significantly enhancing his soul power.
These factors combined led Xiao Xuan to perceive that Xiao Ze's soul power was advancing "by leaps and bounds."
Nevertheless, Xiao Ze felt no disappointment in not elevating his soul realm to the Emperor Soul Realm, as advancing to that level would require Xiao Xuan to sacrifice his remnant soul. Unless absolutely necessary, Xiao Ze would not choose this path.
During his time with Xiao Xuan, Xiao Ze had grown to respect him greatly and naturally did not wish for Xiao Xuan to sacrifice himself for Xiao Ze's advancement. The initial thoughts of leveraging the Heavenly Tomb had naturally changed.
Even if Xiao Xuan offered to help him break through to the Emperor Soul Realm, Xiao Ze would firmly decline.
As these thoughts flickered through his mind, the scenery shifted, and he found himself back in the Ancient Realm. Although only half a year had passed in the Ancient Realm, Xiao Ze and Xun'er had spent a full three years in the Heavenly Tomb.
Reencountering the landscapes of the Ancient Realm, both felt as if they were experiencing them from another lifetime.
The chief elder of the Ancient Clan, Gu Lan, seeing Xiao Ze, couldn't help but show a look of shock. Xiao Ze's strength had significantly improved compared to before he entered the Heavenly Tomb.
Xiao Ze, sensing Gu Lan's probing, smiled and nodded in acknowledgment. Glancing around, he saw that other ancient races had also emerged unscathed, except for the Soul Clan, which had lost one member.
The remaining Soul Clan members gathered together, looking warily at Xiao Ze but daring not to provoke him. After all, the Soul Clan's Battle Saint elders had gained nothing but trouble from confronting Xiao Ze.
"Ha ha, congratulations to everyone for safely leaving the Heavenly Tomb, and for gaining strength enhancements. I suppose everyone's trip was worthwhile," Gu Lan said with a smile, his eyes particularly focused on Xiao Ze and Xun'er. They had gained the most from this expedition. Xiao Ze's strength had skyrocketed, and Xun'er had officially achieved the rank of a one-star Battle Saint.
"If there are no other matters, the Ancient Clan will arrange for your departure from the Ancient Realm soon," Gu Lan politely stated. Xiao Ze raised his hand and spoke in a calm voice that resonated throughout the area.
"Everyone, please wait a moment. Since all major ancient races are present, I would like to announce something," Xiao Ze said. As everyone's gaze turned towards him, especially the members of the Black Abyss Army, Xiao Ze, without hesitation, took Xun'er's hand and took out a ninth-grade mystical pill. Slightly loosening the seal on the mystical pill, a vast surge of medicinal power erupted, casting brilliant light all around.
"A ninth-grade mystical pill?!" someone from the Medicine Clan recognized the powerful medicinal force, which only a ninth-grade mystical pill could possess, and exclaimed in shock.
Hearing the Medicine Clan's exclamation, the other ancient races also showed surprised expressions. "Today, here, I, Xiao Ze, take this opportunity to officially propose to the Ancient Clan with this ninth-grade mystical pill as a gift," Xiao Ze stated calmly, yet like a stone thrown into a calm lake, his words created waves of astonishment.
Using a ninth-grade mystical pill as a marriage proposal? When had such a valuable item become so trivial? The same thought crossed everyone's minds as they stared in disbelief, especially the Medicine Clan.
Even the Ancient Clan elders hidden in the void, attracted by the fluctuations of the mystical pill, cast surprised looks at Xiao Ze. Their gaze towards Xiao Ze changed completely, filled with fervor that even made him slightly uncomfortable.
Compared to the elders, the others focused on the mystical pill, their eyes filled with greed and desire.
