Chapter 511: Both Break Through!

Time passes without notice in cultivation, and in the blink of an eye, a year had already passed since they entered the Heaven Tomb. Only two years remained until their departure. Members of the ancient clans scattered throughout the Heaven Tomb, striving to hunt high-level energy bodies and obtain energy cores to enhance their strength.
At the deepest part of the third layer of the Heaven Tomb, within an ancient stone monument, a peculiar fluctuation spread out, and a faint golden flame illuminated the void. Inside the hall, Xiao Xuan waved his hand, enveloping the hall in a thin energy barrier to isolate these unique fluctuations and prevent them from affecting Xiao Ze.
During this bloodline transformation, Xiao Ze was not passively receiving the bloodline's power. Instead, he actively absorbed it, while also inheriting the energy sealed by Xiao Xuan. This dual process took longer than it did in the original story. Xiao Ze was simultaneously absorbing the bloodline power and the inherited energy.
"This little girl's divine bloodline talent is also remarkable. Though she was only a step away from the Dou Sheng stage before, I didn't expect that it would take her less than a year to truly break through," Xiao Xuan commented, looking at Xun'er who was sitting cross-legged in the void outside the hall.
At this moment, a layer of brilliant golden flames enveloped Xun'er, seemingly capable of burning everything, even the heavens and earth. The power of the golden flames surged in the void, and Xun'er's aura grew stronger and deeper.
Just then, Xiao Xuan sensed a fluctuation in Xiao Ze's aura from within the blood pool and was taken aback. He turned to look at the pool, which had become completely clear. Threads of extremely faint blood-colored energy emerged and flowed into Xiao Ze's body, as if all the blood-colored energy had been thoroughly extracted.
"Another unexpected development, he actually managed to break through to the late stage of the two-star Dou Sheng," Xiao Xuan nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips. Though it was beyond his expectations, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
He had no worries about Xiao Ze being overly ambitious and forcing a breakthrough. Given Xiao Ze's prior displayed foundation, it was evident that he had solidly built his strength in every stage, making his foundation unshakeable. This allowed him to have such a formidable base at the Dou Sheng level, in both Dou Qi and physical strength.
As Xiao Ze felt the absence of any remaining strange energy in the environment and successfully broke through to the late stage of the two-star Dou Sheng, he ceased pushing further. In the void space within him, the Origin Tree had now grown to over 260,000 meters in height. As the tree's height increased, the void space expanded accordingly.
The special reward for Xun'er breaking through the Dou Zun stage, which added a touch of reality to the void space, continued to influence its development as Xiao Ze's strength improved. Observing the void space increasingly align with his expectations gave Xiao Ze more confidence. Perhaps, in the future, the void space could evolve into a true realm.
If that happened, Xiao Ze would not need to seek external sources of energy. Owning a realm would make breaking through to the Dou Di level incredibly easy. However, Xiao Ze was unsure if the void space would evolve into a realm when he reached the nine-star Dou Sheng level or if he would need the special reward for Xun'er's Dou Sheng breakthrough.
With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes, meeting Xiao Xuan's pleased gaze.
"Ancestor, Xiao Ze did not disappoint you. I have obtained the Xiao Clan's bloodline power!" Xiao Ze said respectfully.
"Haha, very good. You might be the last Xiao Clan member to possess the bloodline power," Xiao Xuan laughed, then removed the energy barrier. With Xiao Ze's success, there was no need to conceal the fluctuations any longer.
Feeling the bloodline power flowing through him, Xiao Ze nodded slightly. Despite having the Hundredfold Feedback from the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, the Origin Tree allowed Xiao Ze to perfectly control all his abilities. He could be a pure human cultivator, a member of an ancient clan with the Dou Di bloodline, or even a pure Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python.
Xiao Ze looked outside the hall and saw the golden flames illuminating the void, smiling. "It seems we are quite in sync."
Just as he spoke, the golden flames suddenly retracted, and a graceful figure appeared in the hall, stepping lightly through the void.
"Xiao Ze gege, can you guess what my current level is?" Xun'er asked with a charming smile, her aura now restrained.
Xiao Ze focused his mind, and information appeared on his panel: [Xun'er successfully broke through to the one-star Dou Sheng. Congratulations to the host for receiving tenfold feedback!]
Xiao Xuan's previously sealed energy was not enough to push Xiao Ze to the late stage of the two-star Dou Sheng, but with the tenfold feedback, Xiao Ze had reached that stage.
"There's no need to guess, it's obviously one-star Dou Sheng," Xiao Ze said with a smile, patting Xun'er's head. "The gap between us is getting smaller."
Xun'er playfully rolled her eyes at Xiao Ze. Although she had reached the one-star Dou Sheng, she knew the gap between them hadn't narrowed much. Having truly reached the Dou Sheng stage, Xun'er understood how difficult it was to progress at this level.
"Congratulations to both of you on your breakthroughs. Achieving such accomplishments at your age is truly impressive," Xiao Xuan said with a smile. "Next, focus on practicing the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian. Try to master the clan's mark before you leave the Heaven Tomb."
"Senior Xiao Xuan, if I remember correctly, practicing the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian requires three different kinds of strange flames, right?" Xun'er asked worriedly. "Xiao Ze gege, although a skilled alchemist, only has one kind of strange flame. Even if I share some of my original fire seed with him, we still lack one."
Xiao Xuan furrowed his brows and looked at Xiao Ze. "Ideally, three kinds of strange flames are best for practicing the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, but other unusual flames like beast flames can work too. As an alchemist, you should have collected some materials to cultivate beast flames, right?"
Xiao Xuan's concern was evident. He had not anticipated this problem. When he practiced the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, he had forcibly suppressed three kinds of strange flames, making the technique incredibly effective. But now, in the Heaven Tomb, where could they find another strange flame for Xiao Ze?
"Three different strange flames? That's the easiest part," Xiao Ze said with a confident smile. While the Origin Emperor Flame could merge with other feedback abilities, Xiao Ze had rarely used it. But now seemed to be the perfect time to do so.
