Chapter 396: Xiao Yixian Breaks Through to Dou Ancestor!

"Why did that phenomenon suddenly disappear? Did Elder Gu He fail in his breakthrough?"

"Yeah, usually a breakthrough requires absorbing a massive amount of energy from heaven and earth. The disturbance from Elder Gu He's breakthrough was so intense that it should have lasted at least half a day, yet it only lasted for a minute!"

"The Sect Leader instructed us not to disturb them, so we shouldn't concern ourselves too much. The Sect Leader will handle everything."

As the Yunlan Sect elders discussed what was happening near Gu He’s courtyard, Xiao Yixian’s aura had already undergone a transformation. In just over a minute, she had broken through from an eight-star Dou Emperor to become a Dou Ancestor.

A Dou Ancestor under the age of eighteen was a rarity, even among the ancient imperial clans who prided themselves on their superior bloodlines.

Moreover, Xiao Yixian's aura continued to rise even after her breakthrough to Dou Ancestor. Before long, she had advanced to a two-star Dou Ancestor.

Not far behind her, Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran watched in awe, eyes wide with disbelief.

"Junior Sister Xian'er's aura is almost on par with Xiao Jin's; this is just unbelievable!" Liu Ling muttered. When Gu He first brought Xiao Yixian to the sect, she had only just broken through as a beginner fighter. No one could have imagined that, in just two years, she would reach such heights.

Under the astonished gazes of Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran, Gu He finally withdrew his hand from Xiao Yixian’s forehead.

"A three-star Dou Ancestor peak—just as I estimated," Gu He thought, sighing inwardly as he stopped the power transfer. At that moment, a notification sounded in his mind.

"Two hundred years of cultivation!"

Although this cultivation return wasn’t as substantial as the five hundred years he’d received from passing on power to Cai Lin, Gu He was still thrilled.

If Xiao Yixian's cultivation progress hadn’t been so rapid recently, and if she’d had more time to stabilize, she could have absorbed even more power.

The next moment, fully absorbed with that massive energy, Xiao Yixian slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with joy.

"Master, isn’t Xian'er really strong now?" Xiao Yixian asked cheerfully.

"In the entire Jia Ma Empire, aside from Yunlan Sect, you are the strongest," Gu He praised.

"Ah, that's all? Xian'er is actually now the ruler of the Chu Yun Empire! Even the hidden Ten Thousand Poison Sect has submitted," Xiao Yixian responded, feigning disappointment. In truth, she was well aware that several powerful, shape-shifting magical beasts resided within Yunlan Sect, like Xiao Yin, whose strength she wasn’t entirely clear on.

However, Xiao Yixian assumed that Xiao Yin must be an extremely formidable Dou Ancestor, if not even a Dou Venerate, given that her aura alone had forced Scorpion Bitter Sword, a four-star Dou Ancestor-level elder of Chu Yun Empire, to surrender without a fight.

"The ruler of the Chu Yun Empire!"

Gu He was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t asked Xiao Yixian to establish any power during this training, but she had taken it upon herself to go even further than expected, subjugating the Ten Thousand Poison Sect. In Chu Yun Empire, Xiao Yixian’s influence was now supreme, with all other powers pushed aside.

"Haha, not bad, not bad at all! You've managed to build such an empire even before completing your training!" Gu He said, patting Xiao Yixian’s head with a satisfied smile.

With her Woeful Poison Body, consuming poisons was the fastest way for Xiao Yixian to advance in rank. Relying on her own efforts alone to find these would have been slow, but now, with an entire nation’s resources helping her, her progress would be even faster.

Standing nearby, Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran overheard the conversation between Xiao Yixian and Gu He, and both were shaken.

"The ruler of the Chu Yun Empire—that’s an even higher status than the emperor of Jia Ma Empire… Junior Sister has done so well, yet here I am as the eldest senior brother, still just the head of a small mercenary group…" Liu Ling thought, feeling a bit embarrassed. Even his recent achievement of winning the Alchemist Tournament didn’t seem as satisfying anymore.

Nalan Yanran, on the other hand, didn’t share Liu Ling’s mixed feelings. She was simply in awe of Xiao Yixian’s strength.

After transferring power to Xiao Yixian, Gu He gifted her several other items.

"Master, why isn't Junior Sister Qing Lin here… has she also been sent out for training?"

After receiving many rewards, Xiao Yixian looked around the courtyard and asked Gu He, puzzled.

"No, that girl Qing Lin is still too young for training outside. While you were out training, she stayed at the back mountain," Gu He explained.

"Let me take you to her."

With that, Gu He raised his hand slightly and opened a pitch-black spatial rift in front of them.

"Great! Senior Brother, Senior Sister, let's go!"

Having spent a lot of time with Xiao Yin, Xiao Yixian was already accustomed to entering spatial rifts. She showed no hesitation, grabbing the slightly nervous Nalan Yanran and Liu Ling by the hands and stepping into the rift.

As soon as they entered, Xiao Yixian released a surge of formidable Dou Qi from her hands, forming protective shields around Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran.

It was the first time Liu Ling and Nalan Yanran had entered such a void-like world, and while they felt curious, they were also somewhat apprehensive. However, under Xiao Yixian’s protection, neither felt any discomfort.

When their surroundings suddenly brightened, they found themselves in the Nine-Colored Valley.

"The energy here is so dense! It’s at least dozens of times more concentrated than outside!"

Upon entering the valley, the three were immediately struck by the dense energy saturating the area.

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, you're back!"

Qing Lin, who had been sitting and cultivating, quickly stood up, running over excitedly when she saw the three return.

"Junior Sister Qing Lin has grown up!"

"And her cultivation has advanced a lot too!"

Seeing the slightly taller Qing Lin, the three gazed at her warmly.

Hearing their praise, Qing Lin's face beamed with joy, and she confidently replied, "Next time, when Senior Brother and Senior Sisters go out for training, Qing Lin can join you!"

"Alright, little Junior Sister, you’re already stronger than many ordinary people… Oh, by the way, I have some things for you!"

As he spoke, Liu Ling took out three jade bottles from his storage ring and handed them to Qing Lin.
