Inside the grand hall, Xiao Ze sat cross-legged in the blood pool, enduring the onslaught of the bloodline's power within the pool. Gradually, it washed away all the ordinary blood within his body. Xiao Xuan watched Xiao Ze intently. Given Xiao Ze's remarkable talent, he was undoubtedly the Xiao Clan's only hope. If anything went wrong and Xiao Ze's talent was compromised, Xiao Xuan would be the sinner of the Xiao Clan. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was deeply concerned about Xiao Ze's condition.
Xun'er, on the other hand, clenched her hands tightly as she watched Xiao Ze's face grow thinner and paler. Despite Xiao Xuan's assurance that Xiao Ze's life was not in danger, seeing her beloved endure such pain was something she couldn't ignore. However, she couldn't do anything to help him and could only watch over him constantly. Even when Xiao Xuan advised her to practice her cultivation, promising that he would keep an eye on Xiao Ze, she refused and stayed by the pool, observing Xiao Ze's condition.
Xiao Xuan glanced at Xun'er from the corner of his eye and sighed. Even though Xiao Ze had top-tier talent, Xiao Xuan was still surprised at how Xiao Ze had won over Xun'er. As the leader of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Xuan knew well that those with divine bloodlines from ancient clans developed perfect minds as they aged. With such perfect minds, they rarely had any special feelings towards the opposite sex. Yet, the worry in Xun'er's eyes was unmistakable to Xiao Xuan.
Just as Xiao Xuan was lost in thought, there was a sudden movement in the blood pool. A faint, heartbeat-like sound echoed, so weak that it felt as if the heart lacked blood, leaving a deep sense of emptiness. Hearing this sound, Xiao Xuan quickly refocused, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
"Finally, after a month, the blood replacement is complete. To cleanse all the Dou Sheng blood from Xiao Ze's body was much more difficult than I imagined," Xiao Xuan said, letting out a sigh of relief. He had initially estimated that it would take at most ten days, but it had dragged on for a month. As time went on, the tension in Xiao Xuan's heart grew, but now seeing Xiao Ze successfully completing the blood replacement, he felt a heavy weight lift from his shoulders.
"Now, we just need to infuse the Xiao Clan's bloodline power into Xiao Ze, and he will possess the Dou Di bloodline once more!" Xiao Xuan's hands moved swiftly, forming complex seals. A blood-colored light burst from his hands and sank into the blood pool. As the light entered, the pool began to boil, and countless bubbles appeared. Strange blood-colored liquid separated from the pool, climbing onto Xiao Ze's body and silently entering him.
As this unique energy entered Xiao Ze, his previously pale face began to regain color.
"Senior Xiao Xuan, you mentioned that the Xiao Clan's bloodline power contains some of your sealed energy. If Xiao Ze absorbs it all, could his Dou Sheng level improve?" Xun'er asked, her beautiful eyes filled with hope as she observed Xiao Ze.
Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, looking at Xiao Ze who was absorbing the bloodline power, and slowly shook his head.
"It's difficult. If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Ze only broke through to the mid-stage of Dou Sheng after entering the Heaven Tomb. He's still a long way from the later stage. The energy I sealed can help a Dou Zun make great strides, but for a Dou Sheng, it's not significant. It might not even be enough to break through a single stage," Xiao Xuan estimated. Although the energy he left behind had once allowed Xiao Yan to leap from a six-star Dou Zun to the peak of eight-star Dou Zun, the requirements for a Dou Sheng were vastly greater.
Hearing this, Xun'er felt a bit disappointed but still nodded. Although she was concerned about the growing gap between her and Xiao Ze, she sincerely wished for Xiao Ze's strength to increase. She hoped that this opportunity would allow him to advance further in power.
Considering the dangers from the Hun Clan and the importance of the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's Jade, she knew that Xiao Ze's strength was crucial. If he had more power, his safety would be more assured, even though she could seek help from the ancient clan elders.
"Alright, little girl. Xiao Ze has successfully completed the blood replacement. There's no more danger for him now. You are also just one step away from becoming a Dou Sheng. Maybe you can achieve your breakthrough here," Xiao Xuan suggested. "When Xiao Ze awakens and sees you as a Dou Sheng, he will be very happy."
Xun'er glanced at Xiao Ze, seeing that his condition was improving. She nodded and said to Xiao Xuan, "Senior Xiao Xuan, if anything happens to Xiao Ze, please let me know immediately."
"Of course. Just move a little further away to avoid disturbing Xiao Ze with the energy fluctuations from your breakthrough," Xiao Xuan assured her.
With a light touch of her toes, Xun'er moved outside the hall. Even outside, the energy in the air was incredibly rich, making it the most energy-dense place in the entire Heaven Tomb. After all, this was Xiao Xuan's resting place.
Xun'er took out the energy cores and pills she had received earlier and, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, closed her eyes to begin her cultivation, aiming to break through to Dou Sheng.
