BTTH: I Am the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan Chapter 17: Late Six Star Dou Sheng

Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Secret Realm, Treasure Pavilion, Third Floor

"Phew… It's ti to break through!"

A sharp gleam flashed through Xiao Tiance's eyes as his aura surged explosively. Like a detonation, a wave of energy rippled outward, clearing every speck of dust from the third floor of the Treasure Pavilion.

Outside the Treasure Pavilion

Feeling the surge of energy from within, Huang Jiuji chuckled and said, "As expected of a descendant of the Xiao Clan. To subdue the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla in such a short ti is truly extraordinary."

"Senior, didn't you say the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's ring restriction would prevent the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla from harming my Third Uncle?" Xiao Qing asked with curiosity.

"Haha, indeed, that's what I said. But this is the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla we're talking about.

"Over the two millennia it has been nurtured in my clan, only a handful of geniuses were capable of subduing it. For your Third Uncle to achieve this in such a short ti shows that he's truly an exceptional talent of the Xiao Clan," Huang Jiuji replied with a smile.

Xiao Qing nodded, then sighed. "Senior, you may not know this, but my Third Uncle's talent is second only to my clan's leader, Xiao Xuan, who is recognized as the number one powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent as a Nine Star Dou Sheng Peak cultivator.

"When my Third Uncle was young, he and the clan leader were both found to possess divine grade bloodlines and were hailed as the clan's greatest talents.

"However, to everyone's surprise, my Third Uncle never relied on the power of his bloodline. Instead, he chose an unconventional cultivation path. In just over 30 years, he reached the early stage of Five Star Dou Sheng.

"At that ti, my Third Uncle, the clan leader, and my now vanished Second Uncle Chen were collectively known as the Three Prodigies of the Xiao Clan.

"But a hundred years ago, during an expedition into a secret realm, my Third Uncle discovered the Void Devouring Fla, ranked second on the Heavenly Fla list. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by the Soul Clan's Hun Tiandi and suffered severe injuries, leaving him comatose for a century.

"Now that he's awake, his strength lags behind the clan's top powerhouses. Given this opportunity, my Third Uncle will undoubtedly seize it to reclaim his place."

Huang Jiuji nodded in understanding. "I see. No wonder your Third Uncle's cultivation was only at mid Five Star Dou Sheng. The hidden struggles he endured are truly remarkable."

"Senior, with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla absorbed, how strong do you think my Third Uncle can beco?" Xiao Qing asked, his curiosity piqued.

Huang Jiuji pondered for a mont before replying, "With his century of accumulation, his mid Five Star Dou Sheng level was likely suppressed on purpose. If he released that suppression, reaching the early Six Star Dou Sheng stage imdiately would have been effortless.

"Now that he's absorbed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla, even if he continues compressing his Dou Qi, he should reach the peak of Six Star Dou Sheng at minimum.

"If he prioritizes raising his cultivation level, he might even advance to mid Seven Star Dou Sheng. How far he progresses depends entirely on his choices."

Before Huang Jiuji's words faded, Xiao Tiance's aura inside the Treasure Pavilion began to surge wildly.

In just a few breaths, his energy skyrocketed from mid Five Star Dou Sheng to early Eight Star Dou Sheng, leaving Huang Jiuji and Xiao Qing montarily stunned.

"This… He's choosing to chase cultivation levels?" Huang Jiuji began to sigh in disappointnt, assuming Xiao Tiance was trading future potential for imdiate power.

But before he could finish, Xiao Tiance's aura began to recede.

From early Eight Star Dou Sheng, it fell to late Seven Star Dou Sheng.

From there, it declined to mid Seven Star Dou Sheng.

Then further, until it stabilized at the peak of Five Star Dou Sheng, before surging again.

This back and forth continued until his energy finally settled at the late Six Star Dou Sheng stage.

With his aura now steady, Huang Jiuji let out a satisfied sigh. "Now I understand why your Third Uncle always seed a step behind your clan leader in cultivation. It's not that he's weaker he's simply walking a far more ticulous path."

"Senior, what do you an?" Xiao Qing asked.

"Haha, your Third Uncle is a monster. While others rush to climb the ranks, he painstakingly consolidates every step, refusing to advance until he's honed his foundation to perfection.

"With this approach, as long as he doesn't fall early, he'll undoubtedly stand at the peak of the Dou Qi Continent," Huang Jiuji said with a wide grin.

Hearing this, Xiao Qing finally understood why his Third Uncle had consistently ranked among the Xiao Clan's top five powerhouses a century ago, despite being "only" an early Five Star Dou Sheng.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion

Xiao Tiance exhaled deeply, then murmured to himself, "So this is the strength of a late Six Star Dou Sheng. It's incredible.

"With the Heavenly Fla Three Mysterious Transformations, I can now contend with ordinary Eight Star Dou Sheng experts without fear."

As he examined his body, the blood scabs covering him from head to toe began to fall away. With a single thought, a golden fla flared in his palm, exuding an aura that seed to threaten to burn the entire space to ashes.

"Such terrifying power. Even subdued, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Fla feels as though it could incinerate this entire realm. With this fla at my side, I finally have a chance to face that wretch Hun Tiandi in battle one day."

Retrieving a new white robe from his storage ring, Xiao Tiance changed and descended to the lower floors.

"Thank you for your patience, Senior," he said upon exiting the Treasure Pavilion, bowing respectfully to Huang Jiuji.

"Haha, you didn't disappoint , Xiao boy. But tell , aren't you afraid your body won't endure such relentless Dou Qi compression?" Huang Jiuji asked with a hearty laugh.

"Please rest assured, Senior. I know my limits," Xiao Tiance replied with a polite smile.

"Good. You've proven yourself a worthy successor. As promised, I shall bestow upon you my cultivation and body," Huang Jiuji said, his tone resolute.
