Chapter 360: Chapter 360 Breaking the Formation to Save Dad (4)_1

Everyone was puzzled by Dugu Qianye’s strange expression, so they all leaned in to see what was going on and were instantly dumbfounded. Zi Xiao, on the other hand, was looking at Dugu Qianlin with black lines all over his face.

It turned out that the bag contained a wooden doll, which looked exactly like the little tyke Dugu Qianlin. It was dressed in his clothes and from a distance, it looked just like him.

Dugu Qianlin was unaware of how laughable his gift was and proudly said, "Sister Qianye, I’ve given myself to you, alright? Now you can treat this doll as me. When I grow up, I’ll exchange it back."

All the adults were amused by Dugu Qianlin’s words and burst into laughter. Zi Xiao approached Dugu Qianye with a dark face and told Dugu Qianlin, "You can’t give this as a birthday gift."

Dugu Qianlin glanced at Zi Xiao and then at Dugu Qianye, put his hands on his hips, and retorted, "Why can’t I give this? If I say it’s an acceptable gift, then it is."

"I say it’s not, so it’s not." Zi Xiao and Dugu Qianlin were at loggerheads.

Seeing Zi Xiao’s stern face, Dugu Qianlin suddenly burst into tears and said, "I say it’s okay so it is, you’re bullying me because I’m small! Boo hoo, boo hoo—"

Dugu Qianlin had always been the treasure of the family, acting like a little overlord every day. No one expected him to cry over this today. Dugu Qianye took the doll and said, "Alright, I’ve accepted it, thank you for your gift!"

Seeing that Dugu Qianye had accepted the wooden doll, Dugu Qianlin stopped crying, and Zi Xiao’s face turned as black as it could get. Dugu Qianye noticed his face and, quite unkindly, laughed.

Subsequently, Dugu Yunheng and the others also gave their gifts to Dugu Qianye. Since she didn’t like large crowds, only those she was closely acquainted with attended the celebration.

After giving their gifts, Dugu Qianye symbolically made a wish and blew out the candles on her birthday cake. Then everyone had their meal and left. Dugu Qianye, having overslept during the day, once again ensured her Array Stones and other things were in order and then practiced her cultivation all night. The next morning, the three of them, along with Dugu Yunheng and the others, went to the Western Desert.

Once they arrived at the Western Desert, Zi Xiao, Hao Pengyou, Xie Bing, and others stayed at the oasis where they had been last time, while Dugu Qianye, along with Dugu Yunheng and Feng’s third sister, headed to the Flame Abyss.

"We’re here."

When they reached the edge of the Flame Abyss, Dugu Yunheng, and Feng’s third sister had to summon their Spiritual Power to fend off the external waves of heat. They both cultivated fire-based Spiritual Power. Had it been someone else, no one could say what the outcome might have been.

Dugu Qianye summoned Xiaohuo, and the three of them climbed aboard, heading straight to the place where Dugu Yixuan was suppressed. For Dugu Yunheng and Feng’s third sister, it was their first time descending into the Flame Abyss, and they were scarcely surprised to see flames burning everywhere.

Xiaohuo stopped amidst the riverbed, and Dugu Yunheng, looking at the bare riverbed, asked, "Where is he?"

Dugu Qianye called forth Jiang Yu, saying, "You may proceed."

Dugu Yunheng and Feng’s third sister were slightly startled when a living person suddenly appeared before them, realizing he was not a Spiritual Beast. They watched as he made a few movements with his hands, and the remnants of the Stone Monsters’ stone corpses appeared before them, followed by the clearing behind them. As the Phantom Realm lifted, Yan shot out, rubbing against Xiaohuo’s face and then whirling joyfully around Dugu Qianye.

With Yan present, the surrounding flames automatically withdrew, and the group dismounted from Xiaohuo, who transformed into a human form to join them.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, father is just behind here, let’s go in," said Dugu Qianye, taking Xiaohuo’s hand and leading the way.

Dugu Yunheng and Feng’s third sister exchanged a look and followed Dugu Qianye. It seemed there was a lot about their great-granddaughter they didn’t know!

"Xiaohuo, have you taken good care of dad?" Dugu Qianye teased Xiaohuo, who was circling around her.

Upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s words, Xiaohuo flew to her face, swaying up and down, left and right, exuding a sense of pride that was easily discernible.

"What is it saying?" Sister Qianye asked.

"It says that with it present, not once did any flames enter the formation, nor did they harm dad. It’s practically taking credit for a job well done!" Dugu Qianye explained with a smile.

"To have such a miraculous flame? This isn’t just some ordinary Strange Fire, is it?" Sister Qianye remarked.

"Xiaohuo is a Divine Fire," Dugu Qianye explained succinctly as she turned over the ruins and then saw Dugu Yixuan being suppressed.

Dugu Yixuan had heard the commotion long ago, originally thinking that only Dugu Qianye had come; however, after hearing the conversation, he stood up from the center of the formation, looking excitedly at the people coming in.

"Grandfather, grandmother..." Dugu Yixuan called out.

"Yixuan!" Sister Qianye ran towards Dugu Yixuan in two quick steps.

"Grandma, how did you all come?" Dugu Yixuan, looking at Sister Qianye and Dugu Yunheng, remembered the time when, for his sake, Dugu Yunheng had been injured and fallen unconscious, and grandma had led the clan members to engage in a decisive battle with the people from the Divine Temple.

"We came to see how you were doing." Dugu Yunheng felt a pang of distress seeing his grandson weakened and worn by the suppression. No matter what had happened in the past, Dugu Yixuan had always been a grandchild he took pride in, and now, there was also a great-granddaughter he adored immensely.

Actually, Dugu Yixuan’s complexion was already much healthier than before, as the Spirit Fruits Dugu Qianye had provided had greatly replenished the vital energy he had lost over the years.

"Dad, we’re here today to rescue you," Dugu Qianye said. "I’ve found the method to break the formation, and now, I just need to study it a bit more and adjust the force."

Dugu Qianye took out the formation she had studied and ran through it again in her mind. After ensuring there were no flaws, she said to the three people who were chatting, "I am going to start now. Dad, please stand in the center of the formation."

Sister Qianye and Dugu Yunheng stepped aside. To ensure no mistakes, Dugu Qianye meditated for a while, activating her domain and encompassing the entire clearing within it. In case something went wrong with destroying the formation, she would be able to control it.

"Domain!"

Watching Dugu Qianye, the three of them were shocked, despite already knowing she was extraordinary. Even they, chosen by the heavens, hadn’t comprehended their own domains at the age of twenty—let alone reached the Divine Level!

After including them in her domain, Dugu Qianye began to work on breaking the formation, and they started to examine her domain. They found it to be much broader than an ordinary person’s, and the temperature of the flames inside it was much higher too!

Following the steps she had planned earlier, Dugu Qianye first secured the critical points of the formation, then set up a smaller formation. The moment she extracted the Array Stone, the smaller formation activated, supporting the whole larger formation. After completing this step, Dugu Qianye let out a long sigh of relief.

Having succeeded in the most crucial first step, she began to decode the next one. Perhaps due to the higher temperature inside or the tension, her forehead was covered in dense beads of sweat.
