398: I, Xiao Xuan, am alive again!
Chapter 398: I, Xiao Xuan... have come back to life!
The Sky Tomb is located within the Ancient World and is connected to it.
If a separate passage were to be opened from the Sky Tomb to the outside, then the Ancient World would be undefended.
Because the control of the Sky Tomb is in Lin Xiu's hands.
Gu Yuan naturally thought highly of Lin Xiu; at such a young age, he had achieved so much and could even help Soul bodies revive.
Regardless of the method, it was very powerful.
Moreover, Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yan, and Xun'er were all on good terms with Lin Xiu.
After a slight contemplation, Gu Yuan replied, "The Sky Tomb is a space left behind by a Dou Di; even I am not entirely confident in establishing a passage.
But regarding the matter of refuge you mentioned, I have another suggestion, let's see if you are willing."
Hearing the first half, Lin Xiu thought Gu Yuan was going to refuse, and his heart sank.
Even though he was now a Dou Saint, the Central Plains were, after all, far from the Black-Corner Region, and without sufficient strength, constructing a passage would be very difficult.
But Gu Yuan's later words piqued Lin Xiu's curiosity, "Clan Leader Gu, what is your suggestion?"
"I can have the Elders of our clan build a passage from the Ancient World; if the Soul Clan becomes too aggressive, you can have them come to the Ancient Clan for refuge.
Furthermore, Qingyang and you have a good relationship, and Xun'er also came from Canaan Academy; if there's a situation, they can help take care of things, which would definitely be better than the desolate Sky Tomb, don't you think?"
After Gu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xiu.
A hesitant expression flashed across Lin Xiu's face. He pondered for a moment, feeling both surprised and a little pleased.
Gu Yuan being willing to open a separate passage from the Ancient World was something he hadn't expected.
Although the Ancient World wasn't as reassuring as the Sky Tomb, not being his territory, it was still good. If a real threat arose, it would definitely be stronger than staying at Canaan Academy.
"That's fine, Clan Leader Gu, as long as the Ancient Clan doesn't find it troublesome."
Lin Xiu nodded in agreement.
"It's a small matter; I will instruct the Elders to act as soon as possible."
Gu Yuan was not just all talk but a true man of action, directly arranging for his clansmen to begin.
Although the Ancient Clan was somewhat puzzled by Gu Yuan's command, they obediently complied.
Lin Xiu stayed in the Sky Tomb for a period, occasionally coming out to check on the passage's situation.
With the Ancient Clan's help, he saved a lot of effort.
Soon after, the passage was successfully established. Lin Xiu tried it out, and the effect was indeed good, significantly shortening travel time.
These days, those from Canaan Academy had also successively completed their Breakthroughs.
The two guardians of the Academy, Bai and Qian, as well as Grand Elder Su Qian, all successfully Broke through to Dou Saint.
And Yao Chen also successfully awakened, advancing to Half-Saint. After stabilizing for some time, with the aid of Medicinal Pills, he would also be able to Break through to Dou Saint.
With the Academy and the Cultivation Alliance, there were now seven Dou Saints in charge, and with the connection to the Ancient World, Lin Xiu felt much more at ease.
Regarding the Bodhi Ancient Tree, he only revealed it to Little Fairy Doctor, not telling anyone else.
"Estimating the days, Senior Xiao should be waking up soon. I'll go to the Ancient World first."
One day, as Lin Xiu and Little Fairy Doctor were eating together, he mentioned this.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled, "If Senior Xiao awakens, have him return to the Cultivation Alliance as soon as possible. Yi Nan keeps talking about wanting to receive his examination."
Lin Xiu smiled and agreed... Arriving at the Ancient World, Lin Xiu entered the Sky Tomb.
Within the vast space, a vortex occupied most of the sky, and at its funnel-like bottom, a figure lay peacefully in the Void Realm.
"Brother Lin."
The Blood Blade Saint, clad in blood-red robes, saw Lin Xiu appear, flashed over, and said with a worried expression, "Senior Xiao should be waking up, right?"
Lin Xiu hummed, "It will be these two days."
The Blood Blade Saint let out a breath, looking much more relaxed.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Xiu glanced at him.
The Blood Blade Saint said, "The energy in the Sky Tomb has weakened a lot recently; some with lower Realms can't even stabilize their Soul state."
Lin Xiu smiled, "That's fine; the consumed energy will naturally recover after some time."
He paused, then looked at the Blood Blade Saint, "What about you? Do you have any thoughts of Rebirth?"
The Blood Blade Saint shook his head vigorously, "I'm doing pretty well as the boss in the Sky Tomb. So much time has passed outside, I doubt anyone remembers me; what would I go out for?"
After speaking, as if worried that Lin Xiu would revive him, the Blood Blade Saint dragged his blood blade and ran off in a hurry.
During the wait, Gu Yuan also entered the Sky Tomb.
The two stood side by side, watching the energy vortex in the distance. Continuous energy poured into the body below, and the vitality grew stronger and stronger, the sound of the heart beating reverberating like muffled thunder.
"Brother Xiao was truly a pity back then. If my support had been a little more timely, he might not have ended up in this state..."
A reminiscent expression appeared on Gu Yuan's face.
Lin Xiu listened silently beside him, not interjecting. These ancient things, Gu Yuan was probably just seeing things and thinking of people; there was no need for him to reply.
Perhaps the person just wanted to reminisce a bit.
However, there was one thing Lin Xiu could confirm: Xiao Xuan had a great personal charm during his lifetime.
Even after so many years since his death, Gu Yuan was willing to uphold his promise.
The speed of the energy vortex in the sky slowed down, the gathered energy paused, and then dispersed in all directions.
The figure, which had remained lying flat, opened its eyes, slowly sat up from the Void Realm, and then stood up.
Xiao Xuan seemed unaware of Lin Xiu and Gu Yuan, lowering his head to examine his hands, clenching his fingers, and revealing a long-lost look of joy.
"I, Xiao Xuan... have come back to life! I, Xiao Xuan!! have come back to life!!"
Clenching his fists and raising them above his head, Xiao Xuan's voice rose in waves, echoing incessantly throughout the Sky Tomb.
On the land, plains, and mountain Peaks, countless Soul bodies watched this scene.
Many gazes lingered on Xiao Xuan for only a moment before shifting to the young-looking Lin Xiu.
Eyes filled with surprise, shock, and disbelief converged on Lin Xiu.
They knew very well that for Xiao Xuan to come back to life, that young man was the real key.
"Lin Xiu, please accept a bow from me, Xiao Xuan!"
After venting his emotions, Xiao Xuan's mood calmed. He flashed in front of Lin Xiu, looking sincere, and was about to bow to him.
"Senior Xiao, there's no need. You are still my son's teacher; how can I accept your kneeling?"
Lin Xiu supported Xiao Xuan, feeling a bit strained.
He asked in surprise, "Senior Xiao, what Realm are you in now?"
Gu Yuan, sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Xuan, was also somewhat curious.
"Late Stage Six-star Dou Saint. I haven't fully mastered it yet, but after some time, reaching Late Stage Seven-star Dou Saint should not be a problem."
Xiao Xuan sensed it, his face filled with joy. This was his first time experiencing this method of Rebirth, and the effect completely exceeded his expectations.
He knew very well that for this effect, not only Hun Miesheng's body, Demonic Beast blood, and Medicinal Pills, but even the abnormal flames, were all indispensable.
This was also why Xiao Xuan, despite being an Elder, was willing to kowtow to Lin Xiu.
But Lin Xiu brought up Yi Nan.
Xiao Xuan no longer insisted, thinking to himself that since he and Yi Nan had this 緣分, he would impart all his knowledge to him, which would also be a way to repay Lin Xiu.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao. I believe with Brother Xiao's talent, returning to the Peak of Dou Saint will certainly not be a problem."
Gu Yuan grinned, genuinely happy to see Xiao Xuan's Rebirth.
It is lonely at the top.
At his Realm, true confidantes were few, and Xiao Xuan was one of the most important.
"In this life, I will not only recover my Peak but also once again challenge to become a Dou Di. I have full confidence."
Xiao Xuan was full of confidence.
Gu Yuan, who was beside him, did not know the secret of Lin Xiu condensing Source Energy, and felt that Xiao Xuan was getting carried away. He was stunned for a moment before somewhat perfunctorily agreeing with Xiao Xuan's words.
"Senior Xiao, let's return to Canaan Academy first."
Lin Xiu suggested.
Xiao Xuan, who originally wanted to teach Yi Nan, readily agreed.
Afterward, the three emerged from the Sky Tomb and arrived at the passage.
Just as they were about to step in, Lin Xiu suddenly stopped and took out a Jade Slip.
