Chapter 750: Two Dou Di's

Within Azure Lotus City, inside the Heavenly Alliance.

Not long after Liu Xi's return, two vast auras erupted straight into the heavens. Endless energy from every direction surged toward the source, forming twin tornadoes tens of thousands of meters tall, rampaging between heaven and earth.

The world's energy was nearly boiling.

That terrifying power spread across the entire Central Region and even the entire Central Plains. Countless experts walked out from their cultivation grounds. After quietly sensing for a moment, many sighed.

"Sigh… another two Dou Di's are about to appear on this continent. At this rate, when will it ever be my turn…"

Throughout the sprawling Azure Lotus City, many Heavenly Alliance experts gathered around Liu Xi, all watching the two energy storms deep within the Alliance.

The source of the storm was none other than Zi Yan and Qing Lin. Both were already prodigious talents at the Half-Step Dou Di stage, and after benefiting from the heaven-and-earth feedback Liu Xi bestowed earlier, they had only needed to adjust their states to perfection before releasing their suppression. Now, they were finally drawing in heaven and earth energy to break through to the Dou Di Realm.

In the last ten years, this scene had appeared twice—producing Zhu Kun and Xiao Yixian, the two new Dou Di's.

"Once Zi Yan and Qing Lin step into the Dou Di Realm, they'll be able to help you in the Great Thousand Worlds as well."

Yun Yun stood beside Liu Xi, dressed in a flowing elegant gown. Her demeanor was refined, gentle, noble. Though her voice carried its usual calm composure, Liu Xi easily heard the faint trace of envy hidden within.

Even though Liu Xi had enhanced her talent, and the opening of the heavenly passage had raised the continent's energy density, Yun Yun had only reached Mid-Level Dou Saint. She was still just a step away from entering the High-Level Dou Saint Realm. Still, after the recent heaven-and-earth baptism, her advancement was now just a matter of time.

Liu Xi smiled faintly. "You can do it too. The Heavenly Alliance grew to this point not just because of my strength—your management, coordination, and decisions were essential. And when we go to the Great Thousand Worlds, you must come with me."

The Heavenly Alliance's rise from the remote northwest to becoming the absolute ruler of the Dou Qi Continent was driven by Liu Xi's overwhelming strength—but running an empire? Managing resources, mediating disputes, balancing countless factions? That had been Yun Yun's contribution.

And besides… How could Big Scumbag Liu ever leave Yun Yun behind?

Back then, facing the younger Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Xiao Yixian, Liu Xi had admittedly felt a little… wicked-hearted.

But Yun Yun—

That was love at first sight. Or rather, lust at first sight.

With beauty and elegance like that, who wouldn't want her?

Hearing him, Yun Yun's heart trembled. "This time… you're not just bringing the Dou Saints to establish your foundation in the Great Thousand Worlds. I'm only a Mid-Level Dou Saint…"

Liu Xi interrupted softly, "Strength is one thing. But I want to bring Dou Saints because I need their power. I want to bring you because I need you."

Yun Yun's eyes quivered, her heartbeat speeding up. To be needed by Liu Xi—this feeling warmed her chest and stole her breath.

"Ugh, Dad, that's so mushy."

The little girl formed from Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning—Liu Erlong, now insisting her name was Liu Yiyi—looked at Liu Xi with open disdain. Ten years of learning had matured her mind even if her petite form hadn't changed much.

Liu Xi froze for a moment, then scooped her up and messed up her silky golden hair. "Erlong, children need to act like children. Don't imitate adults."

Her little face scrunched in frustration as she struggled. "Stop treating me like a kid! And what kind of name is Erlong?! Did you even think when you named me?!"

She lifted her chin stubbornly. "I've already decided! From now on, I'm Liu Yiyi!"

Liu Xi paused, feeling a little embarrassed. His naming… had indeed been thoughtless.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded. "You're right. Erlong can be your childhood name. From today on, you'll be Liu Yiyi."

Her frown instantly vanished, replaced by a bright smile as she burrowed into his arms. "Hehe… then I forgive you."

Yiyi was now a 9-Star Dou Saint. As the spirit of Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning, the Dou Qi Continent's limitations made breaking through especially difficult—but her combat strength was unmatched at her realm.

Once she reached the Great Thousand Worlds and shed her restrictions, stepping into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm was only a matter of time.

After all, when she first awakened, the very first person she saw was Liu Xi.

No wonder she was so attached.

Yiyi… because she couldn't bear to be apart.

Holding her lightly, Liu Xi looked toward another figure and asked with a smile:

"You really won't come with me? Staying on this continent limits your path. The Great Thousand Worlds are where your future lies."

"This time, I'll stay."

A handsome young man in luxurious robes shook his head. His aura was overwhelmingly strong—another 9-Star Dou Saint. But his power largely came from Liu Xi's bestowed Dou Di bloodline, making further advancement difficult.

"Someone has to stay with our parents. When I break through to Dou Di in the future, I'll head to the Great Thousand Worlds myself. And when the time comes, I'll be coming to rely on you…"

"Big Brother."

This young man was Liu Cheng—Liu Xi's parents had enjoyed "raising a character too much," and after Liu Xi flew too far ahead, they created a second role to raise more slowly.

Liu Xi nodded. "Then I'll leave our parents to you."

He felt a pang of guilt. Unlike other transmigrators who needed to sacrifice their parents to achieve cosmic power, Liu Xi's parents were very much alive—and already invincible.

Longevity was no longer an issue thanks to the Dou Di bloodline. The only problem was he had so little time to be with them.

He couldn't drag them to the Great Thousand Worlds to suffer hardship. The same applied to his old master, Xuan Hao—now a Dou Zun, with hope of reaching Half Saint and even Dou Saint eventually.

The other old faces—Hai Bodong, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian—were now mostly Dou Zun and lived comfortable lives as senior members of the Heavenly Alliance.

Jia Nan Academy's elders, such as Su Qian, were also enjoying an exalted status as the continent's top academy under the Alliance.

As for Yao Tianhuo, the Pill Tower Old Ancestor, Shen Nong, the elders of the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe—they were all Dou Saints now, and naturally would follow Liu Xi to the Great Thousand Worlds.

Even the remnants of the ancient clans—Gu Xun'er, Huo Zhi, Yao Ling—were already within Liu Xi's system of control and would inevitably be "brought along for labor."
