After Xiao Zhan and his group rushed into the room in a frenzy, they quickly saw the scene before them.
Xiao Chong, the so-called 'culprit,' was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. After all, Xiao Chong was still a baby—what else was he supposed to do besides sleep? Cultivate immortality?
As soon as everyone stepped into the room, they quickly realized that Xiao Chong was undoubtedly the one responsible for the meteorite that had crashed on the back mountain earlier.
The lingering aura of Dou Qi in the room was proof that Xiao Chong had just unleashed a powerful Dou Technique here.
Now, looking at Xiao Chong's carefree sleeping face, Xiao Zhan felt both annoyed and amused.
Just a few minutes ago, he had been tricked by his son into running to the back mountain. He couldn't help but want to wake Xiao Chong up right now and teach the boy a lesson about what paternal love truly meant.
However, seeing Xiao Chong sleeping so peacefully, Xiao Zhan burst into laughter and said, "Good, good, good! That's my son for you! Just born, and he's already figured out how to use and cultivate Dou Techniques! Truly a prodigy!"
As he spoke, Xiao Zhan's laughter grew even more hearty.
The elders of the Xiao family present were both shocked and delighted.
Though they didn't know how Xiao Chong had managed to comprehend Dou Techniques just days after being born, the sheer power of the technique he had unleashed was undeniable.
This only further proved that the genius born into their Xiao family wasn't just gifted in cultivation—his talent for martial techniques was equally extraordinary! And the meteorite technique he had mastered was nothing short of astonishing! In the future, if the Xiao family ever had a grudge against anyone, they could just send Xiao Chong out to drop a meteorite on them.
Boom! Chaos would be silenced in an instant! Thinking of this scene, the faces of the Xiao family elders flushed with excitement.
For a moment, all the elders could think about was how far this genius, Xiao Chong, would take the Xiao family in the future!
Only Xiao Chong's mother, seeing the noisy commotion caused by Xiao Zhan and the elders, quickly stepped forward and shielded Xiao Chong and Xiao Yan, saying, "Why are you old folks shouting so loudly? Don't disturb my son's sleep!"
With that one sentence, all the elders, including Xiao Zhan, immediately fell silent.
The ferocity of the clan leader's wife was on full display at this moment! Seeing Gu Xue's protective demeanor, Xiao Zhan almost wanted to cry.
Back in the day, she used to call him "Brother Zhan" so affectionately. But now that she had a genius son, he was completely forgotten! That brat Xiao Chong—just wait until you grow up, at least until you're as old as your elder brother Xiao Li. Then your father will teach you what paternal love really means!...
Meanwhile, on the same night, the Ancient Clan was also holding a secret meeting.
Elder Tong Xuan of the Ancient Clan, along with Ling Ying, had returned to the clan through a spatial teleportation channel. They reported the events that had taken place in the Xiao family, including the fact that Xiao Chong had been born as a Dou Huang, to the clan leader.
Soon, the higher-ups of the Ancient Clan were also stirred by the news. The clan leader, Gu Yuan, secretly convened a meeting with the elders from various factions to discuss the matter.
"That child named Xiao Chong became a Dou Huang immediately after birth. There's no doubt that this is an anomaly caused by the awakening of the Dou Emperor bloodline within the Xiao family."
"Although it's unclear why the Xiao family, in their current state, could unexpectedly awaken the Dou Emperor bloodline, this child named Xiao Chong is undoubtedly extraordinary."
"It won't be long before the Xiao family produces another Dou Saint!"
"Not just that, being born as a Dou Huang... Our Ancient Clan's young talents at least need to undergo their first bloodline baptism to reach the level of Dou Huang or above. This situation doesn't seem like a typical Dou Emperor bloodline awakening, does it?"
"It's unclear, but it's certain that this child from the Xiao family possesses astonishing talent. In some ways, the importance of this child might even surpass the ancient jade of the Xiao family itself!"
"I suggest we send someone to monitor the Xiao family, especially the growth of this prodigy! And it should be someone who won't draw unnecessary attention from the Xiao family."
"Xun'er... she should be born in a few days. Let her go then."
"Not only will this allow Xun'er to stay away from here and have a happier childhood, but it will also conveniently let us monitor the growth of that Xiao family prodigy who seems to have awakened the Dou Emperor bloodline."
The last two sentences were spoken by Gu Yuan. As the clan leader, he directly decided on this matter.
Hearing this, the faces of the other Ancient Clan elders present turned slightly red.
Why send Xun'er away? Part of the reason was because of them.
Even now, while Xun'er is still in the womb, the detected bloodline power is terrifyingly strong, indicating that her future talent will be immeasurable.
Combined with her parents' bloodlines, she is destined to be a fairy-like beauty upon birth.
So, when educating their descendants, the elders from various factions have more or less given a special command: teach their clansmen how to woo and win over the clan leaders' daughter! This way, they can naturally benefit from her bloodline and talent.
However, such thoughts clearly didn't take Gu Yuan, the father and clan leader, into account. With a light snort, he continued.
"If this child develops well in the future, our Ancient Clan can consider forming an alliance through marriage with the Xiao family, just like we did a thousand years ago."
"Provided that he develops to a level that satisfies us!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, several Ancient Clan elders present immediately changed their expressions! The clan leader's words implied that he was considering marrying off his own daughter?
Of course, that might not be the case!
After all, Xun'er isn't the only suitable candidate for marriage or arranged betrothal within the Ancient Clan. But the way the clan leader spoke made it sound like he was planning to arrange a betrothal for his own daughter.
That seems unlikely. No matter how extraordinary that child is now, he's just a newborn Dou Huang, nothing too remarkable.
But at that moment, a hurried voice of Ling Ying echoed from the entrance.
"Clan Leader! Elders, I have urgent news to report!"
"It's about that genius from the Xiao family, Xiao Chong!"
Thanks to a certain Dou Sheng elder, a small teleportation wormhole had appeared near Wutan City, allowing Ling Ying to travel swiftly and observe the events happening in the Xiao family.
"Tonight, he has done something extraordinary again!"
"He, he created his own combat technique!"
"What?!"
