Xiao Xuan is an ancestor and former leader of the Xiao Clan. He was attacked and killed by the Hun Clan as he was trying to advance to Dou Di. He had his body taken to the Heavenly Tomb in order to wait for an Xiao Clan member who was worthy enough to inherit the remaining Xiao Clan bloodline. He waited 5,000 years till Xiao Yan finally arrived.

Appearance[]

The figure appeared and raised his head, revealing a face that did not appear very handsome, but it caused one to feel that there was something unique. His black hair reached his shoulders and a pair of ink-like eyes were as deep as black holes with an unusual wisdom. It was filled with a charm that caused one to feel intoxicated.[1]

Etymology[]

  • Xiāo means "Flute, The Edges of a Bow."( 萧)
  • Xuán can mean "Black or Mysterious" (玄)

Background[]

Xiao Xuan was one of the ancestors of the Xiao clan (before its decline), and one of four peak existences during his time (9-star Dou Sheng with half a step into the Dou Di class). He is the ancestor of Xiao Yan and creator of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change Secret Technique (which is actually a method to create the Xiao clan tattoo). When he met with Xiao Yan in the Heavenly Tomb in the Gu Realm, he claimed that he had possessed 3 Heavenly Flames to make up the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change Dou skill without the use of a Qi method such as the Flame Mantra (basically through sheer will alone).

At the time, Xiao Xuan and the Xiao clan Elders realized that the Dou Di bloodline in their clan was diminishing, and in an attempt to replenish the bloodline, they agreed to give Xiao Xuan the Dou Di bloodline of everyone in the clan to allow him to breakthrough to the Dou Di class (and thus why the current Xiao family has no trace of Dou Di blood in their bodies). However, while breaking through, he was ambushed by the Hun clan (including one of the other 4 peak existences at the time), leading to his death, though he forcefully detonated his three Heavenly Flames and was able to severely injure the Hun clan peak Dou Sheng.

He requested members of the Gu Clan to bring his soul back to the Heavenly Tomb after his death, where he remained for centuries.

Plot[]

He showed up in time to save Xiao Yan, Xun Er and other Gu clan members from a couple Hun clan Dou Sheng spirits, before bringing Xiao Yan and Xun Er into his tomb. During a 1-2 year period, Xiao Xuan got Xiao Yan to absorb the last of the Xiao clan bloodline from a blood pool, enabling Xiao Yan to rise from a 6* to 8* Dou Zun, as well as helped him form the 9 strokes using Sykfire Three Mysterious Change to form the Xiao clan tattoo. As Xiao Xuan is merely a remnant spirit (not even a soul like Yao Lao was), he cannot leave the Heavenly Tomb, though Xiao Yan promises to return after he has become strong enough to remove him from the Tomb.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Several years later when Xiao Yan advanced to the Dou Sheng class, he returned back to Heavenly Tomb to ask if there is a way to revive Xiao Xuan , Xiao Yan needed Xiao Xuan for the upcoming fight with Hun Clan.

Xiao Xuan didn't have a way to revive himself and told Xiao Yan that maybe only Dou Di could help him. Xiao Xuan used all his remaining spiritual strength in order to capture the Heavenly Tomb Soul and helped Xiao Yan advance his spiritual strength to the Di State.

After Xiao Yan finished his advancement of soul to the Di State, Xiao Xuan's spirit dissipated but because Xiao Yan advanced soul to the Di State, he caught the life imprint which could be only seen by the Di State soul in order to try to revive Xiao Xuan.

Quotes[]

Hun Clan... what a hateful bloodline.
— Xiao Xuan[1]
You are actually that fellow’s daughter… no wonder you possess the divine bloodline. It is really the case of the next generation being more outstanding than the previous…” “However, my Xiao clan still gained the advantage…
— Xiao Xuan to no one in particular about Xiao Yan and Gu Xun Er [1]
This bloodline strength also possesses some of the energy that I had sealed away when I was alive. My descendant… hopefully, you will be able to complete the promise that I have made to the members of the Xiao clan back then!
— Xiao Xuan to Xiao Ya[1]

Trivia[]

  • He was the only person who had nearly managed to kill Hun Tiandi in the many years that had passed![11]
  • He made a comment about how his Xiao Clan ended up wining when he met Xiao Yan and Gu Xun Er for the first time. This caused Xun Er to blush.[2]
  • After Xiao[1]
  • After Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Di and defeated the Hun clan he spoke to himself, but talking as if it were to Xiao Xuan, that he accomplished what you were unable to do. Since Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Di it reestablished the Dou Di bloodline of the Xiao Clan.
