Xiao family
As a behemoth that has been rooted in Qingyan City for hundreds of years, the venue it occupies is naturally magnificent.
The Xiao family hall was usually quiet and solemn, and was only convened when important guests arrived or when major events occurred in the clan.
"call"
A somewhat immature boy looked at the entrance to the hall with a complicated expression.
"I never imagined that I, Xiao Huo, would have this day."
Xiao Huo, once known as the Xiao family's biggest fool, was struck by divine lightning a few months ago, which restored his intelligence to normal, making him a popular topic of conversation in Qingyan City.
However, no one knew that Xiao Huo at this moment was not just Xiao Huo.
He was also a peak ninth-grade alchemist from the Divine Wilderness Continent, a supreme expert at the Quasi-Saint realm!
He is known as the Heavenly Fire Pill Master!
Thousands of years ago, the Heavenly Fire Pill Master sought an opportunity to break through to sainthood and ventured into the forbidden zone to try his luck.
Unexpectedly, this touch led to the discovery of a seedling of innate divine fire that had not yet formed.
Innate Divine Fire!
This is an item that countless alchemists dream of.
Born from the laws of heaven and earth, it possesses the power to destroy the world. If one obtains one and absorbs the laws of heaven and earth contained within it, it is enough to increase the probability of becoming a saint by 20% to 30%!
Moreover, the innate divine fire can improve one's aptitude, making the cultivation of fire-attribute techniques twice as effective.
If news of a primordial divine fire were to appear in the Divine Wilderness Dao Domain, it would definitely attract countless forces to fight for it!
Even saints would be alarmed!
Such a rare and wondrous object as innate divine fire is something that even those great sects with ancient and enduring lineages might not possess!
But somehow, Xiao Huo's Daoist partner followed him and discovered the trace of this innate divine fire.
Faced with the temptation of the innate divine fire, no one can resist.
Therefore, faced with a scheme that his closest person had spent hundreds of years devising, Xiao Huo, completely unprepared, was naturally sent into reincarnation.
No one expected that, not even Xiao Huo, would ever expect that the medicine cauldron he bought on a whim after seeing an old man in distress would preserve his true spirit for thousands of years, until it was finally destroyed by a thunderbolt, along with the same-named Xiao family fool.
Oh no
He merged with the soul of Xiao Huo, who shared the same name.
The body tempering liquid that was previously consigned for auction at Qingyan Auction House was also made by Xiao Huo.
Looking at the solemn and imposing gate, Xiao Huo, who was used to the coldness and warmth of human relationships, naturally knew why his fiancée, who had disappeared for more than ten years, had come to the Xiao family.
Even his Daoist partner, with whom he had shared a life of mutual support for over a thousand years, could unhesitatingly draw his sword against him for the sake of the innate divine fire.
As an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, Xiao Huo doesn't care about a mere marriage.
However, as the former Venerable Heavenly Fire, being jilted by an inner disciple of a minor power would inevitably cause him some discomfort.
That damn pride of the strong!
Xiao Huo chuckled self-deprecatingly, then gently pushed the door open and entered.
The hall was quite spacious.
The four elders of the Xiao family sat at the top of the hall, but the position of chief elder at the very top was vacant.
It is clear that the head of the Xiao family is not present at the moment.
On the other side sat a young couple.
The man was dressed in a dark white robe embroidered with exquisite patterns. He was about the same age as Xiao Huo, around seventeen or eighteen years old. He was handsome, tall, and had a faint arrogance in his eyes. He looked around and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
A powerful aura spread out unrestrainedly; it was an aura unique to the late stage of the Spirit Origin Realm!
Eighteen years old, late stage of the Spirit Origin Realm!
This talent has never been heard of in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Even the Great Zhou Emperor only entered the Spirit Origin Realm at around eighteen years old!
A stunningly beautiful young woman sat beside the man.
The girl was dressed in ink-white, with skin as white as snow, a graceful figure, and a calm gaze, as if she didn't care about anything, like a fairy who was high above and untouched by the dust of the world!
Mid-stage Spirit Origin Realm!
Such talent is rare even within the Sun and Moon Sect.
Beside them was a sprightly old man.
The old man wore a light purple robe with the sun and moon motifs on it, a slight smile on his face, but his expression was filled with arrogance, looking down at the crowd in the hall as if they were ants.
The elders of the Xiao family in the hall looked at the old man with great respect.
"Third level of the Divine Power Realm!"
After Xiao Huo's soul faintly sensed the old man's cultivation level, he was startled and decisively cut off the thought.
"Um?"
The old man frowned slightly.
He had just sensed a spying presence around him.
It must be my imagination.
If even a small city in the Great Zhou Dynasty had experts at the Divine Power Realm, then the Sun Moon Sect would have been destroyed by the Great Zhou Emperor long ago.
"This must be the infamous fool of the Xiao family."
A handsome young man stood up and smiled contemptuously.
He was only at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm at the age of eighteen. Some of the servants in his Sun Moon Sect had higher talents than him!
Seeing the young man's arrogant demeanor, Xiao Huo remained unmoved, only looking at him with indifference, as if he were looking at a dead man.
As a monstrous being who has lived for thousands of years and climbed step by step to the Quasi-Saint realm, even if he were to be reborn, he would have countless ways to kill a Spirit Origin Realm cultivator.
"Su Ming!"
The woman frowned slightly and spoke.
Although she wanted to settle this private matter with the Xiao family, it was true that the Xiao family had saved her life.
Ten years ago, there was a force in Qingyan City that was only subordinate to the three major families, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Qingyan Auction House, called the Yun family.
Unfortunately, the Yun family threatened the interests of Qingyan Auction House.
Business warfare is ruthless. Faced with a family that only had a decrepit, early-stage Spirit Origin Realm expert in charge, Yang Dingtian decisively chose to take action and destroy them.
After all, how could someone who could build such a foundation in Qingyan City be a soft-hearted person?
The Yun family was blinded by greed and brought about their own destruction, so the other major families, including the City Lord's Mansion, had no intention of intervening.
After all, this can be seen as making an example of them to deter others!
However, Xiao Xuan, the head of the Xiao family, remembered the past business dealings with the Yun family and took in Yun Qingxue, the daughter of the Yun family head.
The price was that she had to enter into a contract with his stupid, good-for-nothing son and get engaged.
The contract uses Yun Qingxue's life essence. If it is breached, Yun Qingxue will develop a mental demon, and her cultivation will be permanently stuck and unable to advance any further!
However, less than a month after Xiao Huo and Yun Qingxue got engaged, Yun Qingxue suddenly disappeared, and she remained missing for a full ten years!
It was only after Yun Qingxue revealed her name that the entire Xiao family remembered this past event.
And Xiao Huo.
Although he lived a foolish life for more than a decade, his memories remained remarkably intact.
He immediately thought of his engagement with Yun Qingxue.
