Episode 32 recap: The Xiao Clan ancestors passed the power of bloodline to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan asked the old man if he knew about the incident where Xiao Xuan sealed Hun Tian Di. The old man told them the story. Back then, Hun Tian Di brought chaos to the world. With the power of a half-step fighting emperor, he was unrivaled in the entire continent of Dou Qi. Xiao Xuan, along with eight members of the Xiao Clan and the Gu Clan, joined forces and made a pact. They were determined to have a life-and-death battle with Hun Tian Di and protect the future of the Xiao Clan and the Tuo She Gu Di jade with the help of the Gu Clan.
After entering the Heavenly Tomb, the nine of them diligently cultivated, hoping to tap into the power of the Heavenly Tomb's source and become stronger. However, they were unable to make a breakthrough. One day, Hun Tian Di suddenly entered the Heavenly Tomb and caught them off guard. Hun Tian Di's purpose for entering was to obtain the treasure, the Emperor Grade Chicks Dan, which would allow him to achieve the pinnacle of the invincible fighting emperor. Hun Tian Di demanded that Xiao Xuan hand over the Tuo She Gu Di jade and submit to him, but Xiao Xuan refused to yield and was subdued by Hun Tian Di's Void Swallowing Flame.
Xiao Xuan could not accept the notion that strength determined everything. He knew that the power to suppress the Void Swallowing Flame resided within him. So, everyone exhausted their Dou Qi and sacrificed their bloodline power, triggering an irresistible source of power. They sealed Hun Tian Di in a distant place far from the continent of Dou Qi, ensuring that he could never harm it.
The other eight individuals perished after exhausting their bloodline power, while only the old man in white robes remained, slumbering here for thousands of years. Xun Er understood that the depletion of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power was due to that power storm. The white-robed old man asked them with confusion if they considered Xiao Xuan a hero for sacrificing the bloodline power of their clan. Xiao Yan knelt down and paid his respects to the white-robed old man, who then helped him up and told him not to be so formal.
Xun Er stated that their choice back then was not wrong, and now, facing the Soul Palace, their generation would not retreat either. Xun Er pleaded with the old man to save Xiao Yan, and the old man grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, saying he would exchange blood with him and transfer his own bloodline power to Xiao Yan. He warned Xiao Yan that this process would be extremely painful. However, Xiao Yan firmly declared that he would overcome all difficulties as long as it was useful.
The old man opened Xiao Yan's Governor Vessel and Directing Vessel, continuously transferring his bloodline power into Xiao Yan's body. Xun Er saw that the previous generation's bloodline power had been depleted to its limit, so she opened her divine bloodline and intended to transfer her bloodline power to Xiao Yan. The old man reminded her that if the blood exchange failed, the Gu Clan would also become mediocre.
The old man told Xiao Yan to endure because Xun Er risked her life for him. After what seemed like a long process, Xiao Yan felt warmth in his body, and the discomfort he had been experiencing earlier disappeared. The old man explained that it was the source of power. Even if it was just a tiny bit, it would silently and endlessly grow within his body. He instructed Xiao Yan to embed the source of power deep in his Qi Sea and recite the incantation alongside him.
Under the guidance of the old man, Xiao Yan not only subdued the Jing Lian Yao Huo but also created a completely new Flame from China. The old man expressed immense satisfaction, stating that the power of their Xiao Clan's bloodline lies in the fusion of bloodline and Flame. Seeing Xiao Yan tame the Flame, the old man stumbled and fell to the ground. Xun Er and Xiao Yan hurriedly helped him sit down. The old man's aura grew weaker and weaker. Xun Er suggested taking him outside, but the old man refused. He seemed to see the brothers who fought alongside him in the past and knew they had been waiting for him for a long time.
He instructed Xun Er and Xiao Yan to go out and tell everyone that it was not Xiao Xuan who sealed Hun Tian Di, but every brave warrior of the Xiao Clan who inherited Xiao Xuan's bloodline. The old man entrusted Xiao Yan with the future, stating that he would not leave anymore.
However, he truly wanted to witness Xiao Yan's great achievements with his own eyes. With tears in his eyes, Xiao Yan promised the ancestor that once he eradicated the Soul Palace and brought peace to the continent of Dou Qi, he would come to visit the old man and chat with him. Gu Yuan and Yao Chen, who had been waiting outside, saw Xiao Yan and Xun Er return unharmed and learned that Xiao Yan had tamed the Jing Lian Yao Huo. Both of them were filled with excitement.
Xiao Yan asked to borrow Gu Yuan's Star Disk. He said he needed to explain something to the Xiao Clan. After stepping onto the Star Disk, it immediately responded to his bloodline. After testing, it was revealed that Xiao Yan possessed a Divine Grade bloodline, leaving everyone present astonished.
At that moment, the voice of Hun Mie Sheng came from the sky, telling Xiao Yan to meet him at the Cloud Peak of Falling Yun in three days. Gu Yuan addressed everyone, stating that this was not just Xiao Yan's battle but a life-or-death battle of the entire continent of Dou Qi against the Soul Palace.
Now that Xiao Yan possessed a Divine Grade bloodline, he was the chosen one to fight against the Soul Palace. He immediately commanded Xiao Yan to assume the position of Alliance Leader and lead the eight clans in launching the final battle against the Soul Palace. In the Ming Hall, Gu Yuan expressed his guilt towards Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan didn't mind it and wasn't concerned about the position of Alliance Leader either.
Xiao Yan asked Gu Yuan if he believed that Xiao Xuan was a great hero. Gu Yuan expressed his admiration for Xiao Xuan, stating that he himself couldn't have done what Xiao Xuan did. Xiao Yan said that when the Xiao Clan members selflessly entrusted their bloodline power to Xiao Xuan, it wasn't because they trusted Xiao Xuan so much, but because they believed that the continent of Dou Qi should not be ruled by the strong, and powerful clans should not bully the weaker ones. They wanted to declare war against this injustice, and their belief was not in Xiao Xuan but in the conviction within their hearts.
Gu Yuan was deeply relieved and mentioned that he had always treated Xiao Yan and Xun Er as children, but now it seemed they had grown up and could shoulder greater responsibilities. Xiao Yan, along with everyone else, discussed how to fight against the Soul Palace. They decided to use strength to overcome strength and suppress the Void Swallowing Flame with Xiao Yan's self-created Flame. However, Xiao Yan instructed Gu Yao to take good care of the Tuo She Gu Di jade.
