Chapter 48 Five-Star Dou Sheng
With a single step, the space shifted, and he arrived in the main hall. Xiao Feng immediately sent a telepathic message to Xiao Hu and the others who were still in the clan, summoning them to the main hall for a meeting.
After doing all this, he walked out of the main hall and looked into the distance. A whole hundred years had passed, and the Xiao Clan's small world had undergone very significant changes. The fighting spirit was more concentrated, the scenery was better, and there were many more pavilions and towers. There were even some magical beasts leaping among the mountains and forests.
In the distance, there are endless mountain ranges, extremely steep cliffs, and streams that flow alongside the mountains. As the sun rises in the east, rays of golden light pierce through the thick clouds and illuminate the mountain peaks, making them appear exceptionally magnificent and mystical.
The morning mist floated in the air, enveloping the entire sky and creating a hazy, dreamlike atmosphere. Amidst the green hills and clear waters, it felt as if we had entered a fairyland.
"White clouds look back and merge, blue mist enters and disappears!"
Seeing these pleasant scenes, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Feng's face. Clearly, Xiao Hu and the others had not disappointed him in the past hundred years and had developed the Xiao clan very well.
A hundred years of seclusion might seem like too long to many, but Xiao Feng didn't see it that way. In his view, the sacrifices of those hundred years were worthwhile, for it was during this time that he gained his current strength—the peak of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm!
Before he went into seclusion, he was only at the peak of the one-star Dou Sheng realm, but a hundred years later he had reached the peak of the five-star Dou Sheng realm. His breakthrough was not just a little bit; it was a full four major realms!
Within the Dou Sheng realm, the five-star Dou Sheng is a watershed. Those below the five-star Dou Sheng are called low-level Dou Sheng, while those above the five-star Dou Sheng are called high-level Dou Sheng. Xiao Feng's strength has now broken through to the peak of the five-star Dou Sheng realm, making him a high-level Dou Sheng. He now possesses the strength to make a name for himself on this continent. Of course, compared to his enemies, this is still far from enough.
The breakthrough to the current level is inseparable from the diligent cultivation over the past century, as well as the support of various elixirs.
Before long, figures flew in from afar. When the crowd saw the white figure outside the main hall, their faces lit up with joy. They quickly landed, straightened their clothes, and then stepped forward to bow, saying, "Greetings, Elder! Congratulations on your completion of seclusion! Your strength has greatly increased!"
"Let's go inside and talk," Xiao Feng nodded and said, then led everyone into the main hall.
Once everyone was seated, Xiao Feng began to observe the people in front of him, and what he saw was quite a surprise.
He smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Xing, in just a hundred years, all three of you have broken through to the low-level Half-Saint realm. Not bad!" "Xiao Hu and Xiao Mu, you two have both broken through to the First-Rank Dou Zun realm. Very good. It seems you haven't wasted these hundred years!"
The term "First-Rank Dou Zun" is a unique designation for the Dou Zun realm. At the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Zun realm, a further breakthrough isn't to the Dou Sheng realm, but rather to the First-Rank Dou Zun. After that, there are Second-Rank, Third-Rank, and so on, up to the Ninth-Rank. At each level, breaking through a realm requires accumulating the Dou Qi needed to reach the Dou Zun realm, until finally reaching the Ninth-Rank and becoming a Saint!
Each breakthrough in a realm requires accumulating such a massive amount of battle qi, making it extremely difficult. This is why there are many cultivators who reach the Dou Zun realm, but very few who can break through to the Dou Sheng realm. This is one of the reasons why Dou Sheng are so rare.
Of course, after breaking through from the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm, one does not directly reach the Dou Sheng realm, but rather a special realm between Dou Sheng and Dou Zun, called Half-Saint! Half-Saints are divided into low-level Half-Saints and high-level Half-Saints, who can wield a portion of Dou Sheng power. Only after Half-Saints does one reach the Dou Sheng realm! Previously, Xiao Qi and the other two had already reached the low-level Half-Saint realm.
They broke through from the Dou Zun realm to the Ban Sheng realm in just a hundred years, which shows their talent. Of course, various elixirs also played a very important role in this.
In just a hundred years, the people before him had all made qualitative breakthroughs, which made Xiao Feng, who had just emerged from seclusion, overjoyed. This, combined with his own breakthrough to the five-star Dou Sheng realm, was like a double blessing! It gave him even more hope, the hope of restoring the glory of the Xiao clan!
"We owe our current success entirely to the elders' guidance!" Upon hearing Xiao Feng's praise, the group stood up and replied. These words were not merely flattery, but rather heartfelt expressions of their sincerity.
After all, they were well aware that if it weren't for Xiao Feng, they would have perished along with the Xiao Clan in that great war, and they wouldn't be where they are today. Moreover, they were also very clear about their own talents. Under normal circumstances, even if the Xiao Clan hadn't been destroyed and was still the leader of the eight ancient races, it would have been almost impossible for them to break through to their current level.
Only they themselves know how many pills and rare treasures they had consumed to break through to their current level. Even when the Xiao Clan was at its peak, they could not have obtained so many rare treasures. After all, the Xiao Clan was not lacking in geniuses, and ordinary people like them could not have obtained so many resources. And now, the one who enabled them to have all of this was their master in front of them—Xiao Feng!
Hearing their heartfelt words, Xiao Feng was even happier, though his expression remained as calm as ever, revealing nothing. As a Dou Sheng powerhouse and the current patriarch of the Xiao clan, he needed to cultivate composure; keeping his emotions hidden was a piece of cake for him.
It should be noted that Xiao Feng's title as the current patriarch of the Xiao clan was not bestowed upon him by himself, but was given to him by Xiao Xuan himself when this realm was established.
Xiao Xuan had become somewhat wary of Xiao Feng because of his words, so he made this promise to Xiao Feng: "If things are really as you say, and the Xiao clan is truly doomed and facing destruction, then you will take over as the patriarch of the Xiao clan and strive to lead the clan to restore its former glory!"
These words were merely a promise.
If things didn't turn out that way and Xiao Xuan was still alive, Xiao Feng naturally wouldn't take it seriously, and the position of Xiao Clan Chief would naturally remain with Xiao Xuan. But if things did happen, it was better to be on the safe side.
That's why Xiao Feng considered himself the current Clan Chief.
