Chapter 8 Inner Wavering
"Then why do you say that?"
Xiao Xuan asked, somewhat puzzled. "Although I hope for success, success or failure is not the only factor.
If we succeed, our extensive preparations won't be a huge loss; but if we fail, this will become the last hope of our Xiao clan, the way to preserve our last bloodline! Between the two, which is more important?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan fell silent once again. After Xiao Feng's concise and insightful analysis, he had to admit that it made a lot of sense. He wavered and hesitated.
Xiao Feng's words today negated all of Xiao Xuan's preparations, which is why he looked at the silent Xiao Xuan with great trepidation.
Although he was an elder of the Xiao clan, he had only recently been promoted to elder and was only at the one-star Dou Sheng realm.
He didn't have much contact with Xiao Xuan on a daily basis, so most of his impressions of Xiao Xuan came from the descriptions of the elders and his impressions from his previous life.
If Xiao Xuan got angry because of this, it would be troublesome.
Clearly, Xiao Xuan wasn't as Xiao Feng imagined.
Besides being shocked, he was also somewhat gratified. Seeing such outstanding juniors in his clan was like seeing the future of the Xiao clan.
Indeed, as the patriarch of the Xiao clan and having developed it to its current state, how could an ordinary person have accomplished such a feat? How could he be petty and intolerant of others' opinions?
Xiao Feng's thoughts were completely unfounded and overthinking.
"If it is as you say, then what should we do?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Xuan spoke again, but this time he was asking Xiao Feng.
"Before answering that question, allow me to ask one more question: Has the clan leader changed his mind?"
Faced with such a vague question, Xiao Feng chose to go straight to the point to confirm his own thoughts.
Everything he's doing now is for his own plan. If Xiao Xuan hasn't changed his mind, then why should he continue talking?
"yes"
Upon receiving the answer, Xiao Feng was overjoyed.
"Very well. Actually, I only have a few thoughts on this matter, and I need the clan leader to point out any shortcomings." After being modest, he continued, "Clan leader, in my opinion, this matter should be divided into several stages."
"First, the clan leader needs to maintain the current status quo without making a sound, and implement all the ideas that were previously planned."
"Are you trying to mislead others with this?" Xiao Xuan immediately saw through Xiao Feng's true intentions.
Xiao Feng wasn't too surprised by this and continued to explain, "Indeed, the preparations we are about to make must all be carried out in secret, because everything that will happen next is unknown.
And the preparations that you, the clan leader, have made are considered by others to be the most correct and the ones you are most likely to do, and in fact, that is indeed the case."
"In this way, they won't have any doubts, and our backup plan won't be guessed or even discovered by others."
"Understood. I'll do those things later. Please continue."
"Secondly, the clan leader needs to travel alone to explore the other regions of the Dou Qi Continent besides the Central Region. Ideally, he should find a place with abundant Dou Qi that is deserted and difficult to find.
If such a place can be found, the clan leader can create a small world there, which will be another home for the Xiao clan."
"Not in the Central Region, but in a desolate place, are you afraid that someone will harm my Xiao Clan?"
Xiao Xuan asked. "Indeed, under normal circumstances, such a thing would not happen, but the things that the clan leader has to do are too great. If something really happens, it is inevitable that others will take advantage of the situation."
"Leaving aside those races and forces with whom they have grudges, the fighting techniques and cultivation methods possessed by the Xiao Clan alone are enough to make them go to war and fight at all costs.
At that time, for the Xiao Clan, fighting will definitely be the least desirable method.
The best method is to recuperate and rebuild first, and then do something else."
"That makes some sense.
Opening up a space would be easy for me, but the requirements here are far more than that. Since this space is to serve as another clan territory for my Xiao clan, it not only needs to be large enough, but also strong and stable enough.
As such, it is simply impossible to complete it in a short period of time."
Xiao Xuan hesitated.
He knew what this space meant, but it was unlikely that he would pause his plans and focus on opening up the space without distraction.
"Clan leader, as long as everything is prepared, you will be better able to break through to the Dou Di realm.
Moreover, there is another way to do this. How many strong people does our Xiao clan have?
If others help us, the speed will naturally increase a lot. As for the people involved, as long as the clan leader can trust them and keep the secret, that will suffice."
"Yes, the Grand Elder and the others are absolutely trustworthy.
With their help, I believe it won't be long before we can open up a space that can rival the Xiao Clan's territory."
"In addition, we also need to transfer resources, moving all of the Xiao clan's cultivation resources, rare and precious materials, and cultivation techniques to this place.
In this way, we can ensure that the Xiao clan's heritage will not be cut off and that the cultivation of the Xiao clan members can be guaranteed."
"Transfer all the rare and precious materials, cultivation techniques and fighting skills? That's unacceptable!
This is merely a preventative measure; there's no need for such a drastic move. These are the very foundation of my Xiao clan. What if something goes wrong because of this?" Xiao Xuan frowned and retorted.
Hearing Xiao Xuan's rebuttal, Xiao Feng felt helpless.
He couldn't very well tell Xiao Xuan that if he insisted on challenging for the Dou Di title, the Xiao Clan's defeat was inevitable, and they might even face annihilation.
What he was doing now was merely trying his best to change and prevent the situation, but as Xiao Xuan said, the event hadn't happened yet, and no one would agree to this.
But Xiao Feng was no ordinary person; he was a transmigrator.
He knew very well what the Xiao clan would face next. If they did not take precautions, they might repeat the mistakes of their previous life and become a small clan living in a remote corner of the northwest.
With a long sigh, Xiao Feng continued to persuade, "Clan leader, since we can't transfer all the cultivation techniques and fighting skills, surely it wouldn't be a problem to make a copy of them and then transfer them?
This way, we can ensure the safety of our Xiao clan's fighting skills and provide better protection for our next preparations."
"Even if nothing happens in the end, it won't cause any loss to the Xiao Clan.
On the contrary, it may even better protect our Xiao Clan's techniques and fighting skills, allowing them to be passed down for a longer period of time!"
