83: Burning Technique Heavenly Grade Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Demon Core
Xiao Lei's seclusion lasted for two months.
During this time, Qian Mu Bai Lie both recovered, and even Jia Nan Academy's grand formation was repaired, yet Xiao Lei still hadn't emerged from his seclusion.
Fortunately, Venerable Skyfire and Xiao Yan were not in a hurry.
One day, Xiao Yan, who had just achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Shi (Battle Master), walked out of his room in a joyful mood.
"I didn't expect there to be a Heaven And Earth Treasure like Earth Core Body Tempering Milk in the academy's back mountain. You're a lucky kid. After your Breakthrough to Dou Shi (Battle Master), if you encounter a different fire in the future, you'll have a greater chance of subduing it!"
After examining Xiao Yan's condition, Yao Lao was also extremely pleased.
Xiao Yan was equally happy with the progress of his Cultivation and planned to find Xiao Xun Er, but she was not in the Pan Gate.
With doubts, Xiao Yan began to inquire all over the academy.
It wasn't until he arrived at a back mountain of Jia Nan Academy that Xiao Yan finally saw Xiao Xun Er, who had a solemn expression.
When she saw Xiao Yan had found this place, she immediately ran over with an anxious expression, "Brother Xiao Yan, why are you here! Quick, you must leave!"
Xiao Xun Er's anxious and uneasy appearance immediately startled Xiao Yan. From childhood until now, Xiao Yan had never seen Xiao Xun'er so flustered.
"Xun'er, what's wrong!"
Xiao Yan grabbed Xiao Xun Er's arms, about to ask, when he heard Yao Lao's words in his ear, "Someone's here, and quite a few!"
Beyond the horizon, a group of figures riding mounts was rapidly approaching.
A few breaths later, Ling Quan led the team to Xiao Xun Er.
Sitting on his tall mount, Ling Quan looked down at Xiao Yan, who was protected behind Xiao Xun Er.
"Young Miss, by order of the Elder Council, I have come to take you back. This Northwest Continent is not peaceful. Don't let these barbarians harm you again!"
Originally, Xiao Xun Er was still negotiating with her clan, hoping to buy more time, but the news of Mu Gu Old Man attacking Jia Nan Academy two months ago had already spread.
The Ancient Clan naturally received the news. Xiao Xun Er's talent was exceptional, and the Ancient Clan naturally worried about her safety, which led to Ling Quan's presence now.
"This must be the Xiao Family's waste that the Elders mentioned... Hmm, as expected, he lives up to the title of 'waste.' A Cultivation of barely Breakthrough to Dou Shi (Battle Master), hehe!"
Behind Xiao Xun Er, Xiao Yan's expression was ferocious. He looked up at Ling Quan's tall figure and the disdain on his face, wishing he could beat him up.
Knowing the disparity between them, Xiao Xun Er tried her best to calm Xiao Yan, doing her utmost to avoid conflict!
"Oh! Right, the Elders also ordered me to bring this Xiao Family waste back to the Ancient Clan as well..."
"And that Xiao Lei, although he has withdrawn from the Xiao Family, the Elders don't care. This time, I am to invite him to the Ancient Clan as well; the Elders have some questions to ask!"
Looking at Xiao Yan, whose eyes seemed to be spitting fire but was helpless, Ling Quan was in a joyous mood. In the clan, he had been suppressed by Gu Qingyang and others, unable to raise his head, but now he was finally able to.
"Although the intelligence suggests Xiao Lei is only a Dou Zong, such strength is no different from an ant in front of the Ancient Clan!"
Ling Quan thought to himself. His information was still somewhat delayed. However, on that day, Xiao Lei only made one move; the rest were Venerable Skyfire's actions. Ling Quan's information was still about Xiao Lei annihilating a group of Dou Zongs at the Black Emperor City auction.
"Xiao Yan, where is that Xiao Lei! Hurry and make him come out!"
Xiao Xun Er would never agree to Xiao Yan going to the Ancient Clan; otherwise, the Elders in the Ancient Clan who coveted the ancient jade would surely torment him.
Just as Xiao Xun Er was about to speak, suddenly, with a loud boom, a powerful aura emanated from the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda. Within a thousand-mile radius, the Dou Qi energy violently fluctuated.
The sound of wind howled like thunder, and layers of dark clouds suddenly appeared in the originally clear blue sky, accompanied by rumbling thunder... "Heaven And Earth Anomaly! A Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Dou Technique has appeared!"
Ling Quan, witnessing this scene, was dumbfounded, his voice filled with disbelief.
There were only a few types of Heaven And Earth Anomalies. Ling Quan ruled out the other options. Although it was unbelievable, he could only conclude that someone had created a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Dou Technique.
With black clouds pressing down, Xiao Lei, in a green robe, flew high into the sky. He glanced at the continuous dark clouds, waved his hand, and Dou Qi surged, directly dispersing them.
There are also differences between Heaven And Earth Anomalies; Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Dou Techniques do not require Undergoing Tribulation.
At this moment, countless figures witnessed Xiao Lei directly disperse the sky full of black clouds with a wave of his hand. His invincible posture was instantly etched into everyone's hearts.
Ling Quan had long lost his arrogant demeanor from before; instead, his face was filled with greed as he looked at Xiao Lei's figure.
Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Dou Techniques were treasures even within the Ancient Clan. Ordinary people had no qualifications to Cultivate them. Even Ling Quan himself, let alone now, even if he reached Dou Zun, if his Bloodline was not strong enough, he might not be able to Cultivate it.
After dispersing the black clouds, Xiao Lei also noticed Xiao Xun Er and the others on the ground.
With a flash, Xiao Lei appeared beside Xiao Yan.
Before Xiao Xun Er and Xiao Yan could speak, Ling Quan preemptively bowed and respectfully said, "I am Ling Quan, the commander of the Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army. May I know Senior's name!"
"I am the Xiao Lei you are looking for. What, is the Ancient Clan so impatient!"
Xiao Lei sneered. Although he was in seclusion to improve his Cultivation Technique, he could sense the situation outside. He had heard everything Ling Quan said earlier.
Upon hearing this, Ling Quan's heart trembled. Didn't they say Xiao Lei was just a Dou Zong!
How could he not only be a Dou Zun but also possess a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique Dou Technique!
"Hehe, Senior, you are mistaken. The Elders in the clan are also concerned about the Xiao Family's safety and wish to invite both of you to the Ancient Clan as well..."
"I think you're worried about the ancient jade's safety!"
"You can take Xiao Xun Er if you want, but don't even think about Xiao Yan. Scram!"
As he spoke, Xiao Lei waved his hand, sending out a powerful surge of Dou Qi. The Dou Qi surged, and in the next moment, the Black Annihilation Army and Xiao Xun Er appeared several miles away.
"Pfft! Damn it!"
Everyone else was unharmed, but Ling Quan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Dou Qi within his body surged, and a transparent flame continued to burn in his chest.
"Hmph! Let's go!"
Ling Quan was clearly not qualified to contend with Xiao Lei, a Dou Zun. The reason he wasn't killed was because Xiao Lei couldn't kill him in plain sight...
"Hmph! The Ancient Clan, a bunch of hypocrites, are nothing but a group of bullies who pick on the weak!"
If the Hun Clan was evil, then the Ancient Clan was wicked.
A thousand years ago, when Xiao Xuan failed to achieve a Breakthrough to Dou Di, the Hun Clan attacked with their entire clan, while the Ancient Clan watched from the sidelines. After the Xiao Clan's demise, the Hun Clan was severely weakened, but the Ancient Clan still dared not make a move... They had originally promised Xiao Xuan to take care of the Xiao Family, but in the end, they managed to reduce the Xiao Family to only four Great Dou Masters!
At this moment, Qian Mu Bai Lie, sensing Xiao Lei's aura, finally arrived.
"Great Master Xiao! Congratulations!"
Qian Mu Bai Lie showed an envious expression. A Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique was something that even the Scripture Pavilion did not possess!
"Since Great Master Xiao has emerged from seclusion, please come with us to the Scripture Pavilion!"
Xiao Lei nodded, simultaneously transmitting a Soul message to Venerable Skyfire, and then patted Xiao Yan's shoulder.
"Go prepare. We won't be staying in Jia Nan Academy for much longer!"
Under the guidance of Qian Mu Bai Lie, Xiao Lei and Venerable Skyfire quickly arrived before a peculiar building.
It was not the Scripture Pavilion as described in the original work in Xiao Lei's memory.
"Jia Nan Academy has two Scripture Pavilions. One is used to reward the top five winners of the annual Outer Court competition, and the other, the one before us, is a place for rewarding Elders who have rendered meritorious service. As for the collections, they are naturally more precious."
As he spoke, Qian Mu Bai Lie both made a move, opening a spatial gate.
In fact, with Xiao Lei's current control over space and the Bloodline of the Void Ancient Dragon, Xiao Lei could completely sense the location of that Scripture Pavilion and could even directly intrude.
But Xiao Lei couldn't possibly just rush in directly in front of them...
"According to the rules, both of you can choose freely, but you can only take one item."
...Amidst the shimmering treasures, Xiao Lei immediately saw a uniquely shaped demonic core.
"The demonic core of a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast!"
