Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

As for how he knew...

Isn't this what we all know from our past lives?

Xun'er herself infiltrated the Xiao family because of her ancient clan identity, hoping to seize the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the Xiao family's possession.

In the end, Xun'er not only failed to obtain the jade, but also lost herself in the process.

"Xun'er, please tell me more about the Spirit Clan!"

Xiao Fan's words just now were only a general guess about the situation; the specific details would have to be determined by Xun'er.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er didn't dwell on what had just happened. She nodded, looked at Xiao Fan, and said:

"Back then, during the Spirit Clan's investiture ceremony, I briefly met Yueyao after the ceremony ended."

"However, after I got to know Yueyao, I noticed something was off about her. She seemed to have completely forgotten me, and that's when I realized something was wrong..."

"After returning to the clan, I looked through the clan's records about the Spirit Clan and discovered that Yueyao's condition seemed to be not good..."

As Xun'er spoke, a hint of deeply hidden pity flickered in her eyes, and her tone softened.

"The existence of the Spirit Race is said to be due to the Mother Tree of All Things in the Spirit Realm. In the past, the world where the Spirit Race lived was the domain of two Dou Di. In ancient times, the two Dou Di suddenly began to fight each other, and the Spirit Realm was almost destroyed."

"After the fall of the Dou Di, the flesh and blood of one of them transformed into nutrients, nourishing the Mother Tree of All Things in the Spirit Realm and mending the shattered Spirit Realm. Meanwhile, the scattered power of other bloodlines gradually merged into all things in the Spirit Realm, and this is the origin of the Spirit Race."

"Later, when the nation became powerful, they took the former Dou Di Sect as a kind of faith and called it the Moon God."

"In order to restore the glory of the Moon Goddess, each generation of Holy Maidens in the Spirit Clan will enter the secret realm of the Spirit Clan in an attempt to master the power left behind by the Moon Goddess."

"It's quite secretive inside. Even our ancient clan doesn't know the specifics. There are no detailed records. All we know is that so far, it seems that every Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan has failed."

"And the consequences of failure..."

Xun'er wasn't very strict, but Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan already understood what she meant.

"Moreover, according to clan records, after each Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan dies, her soul will be reintegrated into the Moon Goddess's legacy, waiting for the next Holy Maiden to initiate the final merging!"

"Possession!?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan suddenly spoke, looking at Xun'er and asking a question, his tone involuntarily carrying a hint of coldness.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words and seeing his serious expression, Xun'er pondered for a moment before shaking her head slightly.

"It's not possession. It's more like inheritance. The new Holy Maiden can only gain the various combat consciousnesses of the previous Holy Maiden after defeating all the consciousnesses of the previous Holy Maiden."

"In this kind of inheritance situation, the challenges faced by the later saintesses are also more numerous, and the inheritance process is also more dangerous. But once she can completely subdue all consciousness and successfully inherit, her strength will eventually increase rapidly."

"And all the combat experience the Holy Maiden gained in the past, including fighting skills, will become nourishment for her."

"However, after each Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan begins her work, very few people are able to completely endure all the trials."

"Later, with the improvements made by the powerful members of the Spirit Clan, a portion of the Moon God's energy was separated out, thus giving rise to the identity of the Moon God Envoy."

"The so-called Moon God's Envoy is someone who serves as an appendage to the unmarried woman during the Moon God's Trial to help her complete the trial."

"And that ice-blue spear you just mentioned is, according to records, the Moon Goddess's natal weapon."

The questioner stopped there and looked at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan listened to Xun'er's words and pondered for a moment.

Before anyone knew it, he had already taken the white jade pendant that represented the Moon Goddess in his hand.

Chapter 269 New Mission, Offense and Defense Reversed (Seventh Update)

What Xun'er just said was information that the ancient clan had spent countless years obtaining, and each piece of information was extremely important.

Ordinary forces had no idea.

After all, each of the eight ancient races possessed formidable resources, even the relatively weaker ones like the Spirit Race.

It is a behemoth compared to the entire Central Plains.

The fact that the ancient race was able to obtain so many secrets about the Spirit Race suggests that they had been planning for an unknown period of time; ordinary people would never have had the opportunity to know.

Even within the ancient clan, not everyone knew this information, but Xun'er told Xiao Fan everything at this moment.

As Xun'er began to speak, the elders of the ancient clan consciously left in the distance.

They also deployed a protective shield to isolate sounds from both inside and outside.

After all, people at their level know what information they should know and what information they shouldn't know.

Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing and can even bring trouble upon yourself.

After Xun'er finished speaking, she stopped talking and looked at Xiao Fan, waiting for him to process what she had just said.

As for Xiao Yan, his expression darkened as he listened to what Xun'er was saying.

Judging from what Xun'er just said, Yueyao's situation is probably not optimistic. Otherwise, with so many generations of Holy Maidens of the Spirit Clan, it's impossible that no one has succeeded yet.

The two looked at Xiao Fan beside them, their eyes revealing a hint of worry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!"

After a long while, Xiao Fan took a deep breath, looked at Xun'er and Xiao Yan who were worried beside him, and a carefree smile appeared on his face.

"Since she's going to participate in the Moon Goddess Trial, then I'll go and help her. We'll find a way to meet when the time comes."

Knowing about Yue Yao, Chopin felt relieved.

As for whether he could awaken Yueyao or pass the Moon Goddess Trial, in Xiao Fan's view, that was not a problem at all.

Seeing Xiao Fan's optimism, Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who were standing beside him, both showed relaxed smiles.

Having received news about Yueyao from Xun'er, Xiao Fan was completely relieved.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Xiao Fan smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and then took out the left arm of the Dou Sheng expert from his storage ring.

"This is........."

Xiao Yan looked at the left arm of the Dou Sheng's remains before him with a look of astonishment on his face.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression, his eyes questioning, and he had a bad feeling.

"Take these remains of the Battle Saint back to your teacher."

Xiao Fan handed the left arm bone in his hand to Xiao Yan, his expression completely calm.

Xiao Yan and Xun'er, who were watching from the side, were filled with doubt.

"Senior brother, aren't you coming back to Starfall Pavilion with us?"

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan, his face showing some emotion. He excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Fan's shoulder, and asked...

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Fan shook his head slightly and said, "Have you forgotten why I only came out in the first place?"

"After this battle, the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will probably send even stronger opponents to target me. If I continue to stay in the Starfall Pavilion, the current strength of the Starfall Pavilion will be no match for them."

Seeing the sadness on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Fan smiled freely, patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy for them to catch."

"Besides, as you just heard, the Moon Goddess Trial of the Spirit Clan will begin in less than half a year. I will have to go to the Spirit Clan to find Yue Yao then."

Xiao Yan nodded upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, but his expression still betrayed his disappointment.

"Senior brother, I have now advanced to the Dou Zun realm. If we return to the Starfall Pavilion and rely on the formations within, even the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan will not be able to go all out against us."

Xiao Yan was still somewhat unwilling and tried to persuade Xiao Fan.

"It's not that simple."

Xiao Fan shook his head, sighed, and looked at Xiao Yan, saying, "In the past, we didn't arouse the Soul Palace's vigilance, so the forces they sent weren't too strong. But now even the Four Heavenly Venerables, Blood River, have been mobilized."

"I'm afraid the Soul Hall experts who come next time won't just be at the Dou Zun level!"

Xiao Yan was unaware of the Soul Palace's strength, but Xiao Fan was quite clear about it.

The Blood River of the Four Heavenly Venerables is a watershed moment in the strength of the Soul Palace's higher-ups; above the Four Heavenly Venerables are all powerhouses at the level of Half-Saint or above.

The strength of the Three Venerables had already reached the level of a half-saint.

The reason Xiao Fan chose to hand over the Dou Sheng left arm to Xiao Yan was that he hoped Xiao Yan would give the arm to Yao Lao, hoping that, just like in the original story, with the blessing of this arm, Yao Lao could break through his previous realm and directly enter the ranks of half-saints.

Otherwise, if the Soul Palace experts were to attack again, the Starfall Pavilion, without a Half-Saint to guard it, would probably not be able to hold out at all.

Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Fan, his eyes trembling and bloodshot.

He naturally understood the significance of Xiao Fan's actions, but Xiao Yan felt somewhat resentful that Xiao Fan was left to bear the pressure from the Soul Palace and the Heavenly Demon Royal Family alone.

"Stop acting all tearful. You're a grown man, why are you putting on this act in front of Xun'er!"

Xiao Fan looked at Xiao Yan, whose eyes were red, and smiled. He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder and comforted him.

"Alright, you should all hurry back to Starfall Pavilion. The sooner your teacher breaks through, the safer Starfall Pavilion will be. As for me... have you forgotten what I told you before? It's alright!"

Xiao Fan patted Xiao Yan, handed the Dou Sheng's left arm to Xiao Yan, and then, without lingering, turned and left the place.

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Xiao Yan knew he couldn't persuade him. As for what Xiao Fan said, Xiao Yan understood that it referred to Mo Shang.

With Mo Shang, a spy from the Soul Palace, Xiao Fan's safety would undoubtedly be much greater.

"Senior brother......"

Xiao Yan watched Xiao Fan depart into the distance. After standing there in a daze for a long time, he put the Dou Sheng's remains into his storage ring and looked at Xun'er beside him. His eyes were firm.

In the distance, after leaving Xiao Yan and Xun'er's sight, Xiao Fan's face also darkened.
