Chapter 8: This World Shall Be Called Tian Wai Tian

Xiao Realm, Xiao Xuan's Residence

"I thought you'd offer your branch's bloodline power to me!" Xiao Xuan teased, a smirk on his face.

Xiao Tiance chuckled and then lifted his head to meet Xiao Xuan's gaze, his expression serious. "Brother Xuan, I misunderstood you before. Since you don't want to follow the paths others have tread, why shouldn't I help you forge your own?

You can take the bloodline power of my branch whenever you need it."

"Oh?" Xiao Xuan raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. After being brothers for over a century, he knew Xiao Tiance to be as stubborn as himself. For him to change his stance so suddenly was unexpected.

"You're sure you'd let me take the bloodline power of your branch?" Xiao Xuan asked again.

"Hahaha, do you think I'm joking?" Xiao Tiance shook his head. "Brother Xuan, before, I was worried you'd fail and didn't want to risk my branch's survival.

But after hearing your words today, I believe you can succeed and carve a path that no one has walked before.

I'm willing to offer the bloodline power of my entire branch, including my own divine grade bloodline, to support your breakthrough to the Dou Di realm."

"You've thought this through? Losing your bloodline power will weaken your branch significantly," Xiao Xuan said, his tone serious.

Xiao Tiance laughed heartily. "Brother Xuan, you know me. Have you ever seen me rely on my divine grade bloodline during my cultivation? Even without it, I reached Five Star Dou Sheng a century ago.

To me, the so called divine grade bloodline is just a tool. The reason I refused before was because I feared you might fail and perish.

But now that you've agreed to help me stage that scene, I'm no longer worried about the risks. The loss of bloodline power is insignificant compared to the chance to help you succeed."

Xiao Xuan listened carefully, nodding slightly. As someone who had fought side by side with Xiao Tiance for years, he knew his brother wasn't lying.

After a moment of thought, Xiao Xuan laughed and shook his head. "No need. The bloodline power of the other branches is already enough for my plans.

I only intended to use the bloodline power as a catalyst. Ultimately, I'll rely on myself.

Tiance, it's enough that you offered. It's not for nothing that we've been brothers for so long.

And regarding your concerns, I'll make additional preparations. Whether I succeed or fail, I'll ensure I leave measures behind to ease the burden on you."

Xiao Tiance was momentarily stunned by Xiao Xuan's refusal but quickly nodded. Rising to his feet, he gave a respectful bow. "Brother Xuan, I'll take my leave now."

"Go ahead!" Xiao Xuan said with a wave of his hand, watching as Xiao Tiance disappeared into the void.

After he left, Xiao Xuan stood by the window, gazing into the distance, deep in thought.

The Next Morning

Xiao Tiance was meditating when Xiao Qing entered and bowed. "Third Uncle, the first group has gathered at White Tiger Hall. Shall we depart?"

"Let's go," Xiao Tiance replied, rising to his feet.

Moments later, they appeared in White Tiger Hall, where seven individuals, led by Xiao Donglai, awaited them.

"Greetings, Clan Leader! Greetings, Elder Qing!"

"No need for formalities. Let's go."

"Yes!"

Xiao Qing activated his Dou Qi, creating spatial ripples. One by one, the group entered the portal and disappeared.

Northwest Zhongzhou, Periphery of Tianmu Mountains

A day later, the group appeared at the edge of the Tianmu Mountains. The powerful auras emanating from them caused nearby magical beasts to cower in fear, lying low in submission.

"Third Uncle, where are we going?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.

"We're here," Xiao Tiance said as he descended toward a serene blue lake.

Confused, Xiao Qing surveyed the area. "Here? There's nothing here."

Xiao Tiance chuckled. "Exactly. The absence of anything is what makes this place ideal for what I have planned."

Still puzzled, Xiao Qing chose not to press further. As always, he trusted his Third Uncle's judgment.

"You all rest for now. I'll set up the space," Xiao Tiance instructed.

"Yes, Clan Leader!"

While the others began recovering their Dou Qi, Xiao Tiance unleashed his energy. Above the lake, the very fabric of space began to ripple violently.

For a Five Star Dou Sheng like Xiao Tiance, constructing a stable space wasn't difficult. However, building a large, habitable space complete with mountains, water, and housing was another matter entirely.

Over the next three days, Xiao Tiance's Dou Qi fluctuated wildly as he poured his energy into the task. By the end, his face was pale, and he was visibly exhausted.

Finally, he exhaled deeply. "It's done. I almost overexerted myself!"

Turning to Xiao Qing, he said, "Bring the others. Let's take a look."

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Tiance opened a massive spatial gate above the lake and darted inside like an arrow. Xiao Qing quickly gathered the others, and they followed.

Inside the Space

The group marveled at what they saw. Rolling hills, flowing streams, and carefully crafted homes stretched before them.

"Clan Leader, did you base this space on the Xiao Realm?" Xiao Donglai asked in astonishment.

"That's right," Xiao Tiance replied. "It's not as large or stable as the Xiao Realm, but for now, it will suffice."

With a thought, Xiao Tiance summoned eight white jade pendants from his spatial ring. They floated toward the group.

"These pendants are linked to this space. If you channel your Dou Qi into them near the lake, the gate will open for you. Each pendant is bound to your blood, so it will recognize your identity.

Do not lose them. If you do, you might not be able to return, and I won't take responsibility for that!" Xiao Tiance joked lightly.

"Understood. Thank you, Clan Leader!" the group replied, bowing deeply.

Xiao Tiance waved them off and smiled. "From this moment on, this is our home. I name this world Tian Wai Tian 'Heaven Beyond Heaven.'"
