The pill of reform while it might not sound much, if its information was ever released to the outer world, then the four heavens might go to a blood bath for it, especially the old fossils that had reached their limit and had no way to to go forward, to then the pill of reform would sound like a chance for a new path!
Sure it might not increase their talent but it would definitely give a path forward, this might even tempt more powerful geniuses, as they just have to use some treasure to increase their comprehension while the pill of reform forges the path for them!
And he Xiao could eat it without worrying about it affecting the future as the pill was originally not eaten by anybody! so him taking it won't affect much of the flow of the world, one might wonder why Xiao who doesn't care about anything else other than his family would be so adamant about not affecting the future?
It was simple as someone that lived during the Great War and had understood the inner workings of the four heavens due to the book Heavenly Opposers, he knew about the wars and the great danger that was heading towards the future, a time would come where only strength would matter
And for the four heavens to survive it is imperative that the Heavenly Opposer exists, if not then the four havens would fall, it is a known fact that the Heavenly Tree protects the four heavens and the universe from the Chaos energy that exists outside
Outside the Heavenly Tree's protection, several Chaos beings look to this world with a desire to corrupt and destroy and they are getting close, in fact from what Xiao had read one of the Heavenly Immortals was Corrupted by the Chaos energy and works for the beings that exist outside the Heavens protection
That single Heavenly Immortal slowly started to corrupt the rest to keep the power for themselves, the ones that were corrupted turned the rest to their puppets and started wilting down the power that guards the four Heavens and the rest of the realms from Chaos!
From What Xiao knows the reason that there was a heavy spike in the birth of more talents is due to the four Heavens themselves feeling a sense of dread, so they started producing more talents to protect the Heavens themselves, the heroes to be exact
In the future after the fall of the Heavenly Court by the Heavenly Opposers, the war against the Chaos would begin and what really annoys Xiao is that he doesn't know how it ends! that's right he had only read till the starting of the war, so he doesn't know how the world ends up
Xiao when he was still living in Ingrid, he had turned that place upside down looking for the final volume, and yet he couldn't find it, that's also the reason he was in a hurry to increase his powers
He had first thought about taking the great heavenly treasures he knew but later he gave up, those treasures even if he found them using them is another thing, since they have their own ego and would definitely not choose an averagely talented person, as for taking up great legacies? well they came with their own baggage and there was no way to get rid of it too
Just thinking about what the future holds would always rile Xiao up, he needed to get powerful and fast, after making sure he was set to be an immortal, he would then latch onto a golden thigh and ride the wave with it, he would become good friends with the people that would be stronger in the future, he would get into the core group of the Heavenly Opposers and live off his easy life with their protection
'Um, that sounds good'
Xiao thought as he planned but first, he needed to get the pill of reform which was hidden within the depths of an ancient ruin, according to what he read the pill of reform was made by the greatest alchemist that existed at the Golden Era
The Era where the realms of cultivation and strength were at a level that many could only dream, anyway the alchemist was obsessed with creating something that might break the shackles of the heavens, so he made the pill of reform, of course with its creation he perished and his work was never found
It was later found by the main leader and MC of the Heavenly Opposer and his team, a man who would shake and wonder the four Heavens, the future leader of the Heavenly Opposer, and the man that would stand at the pinnacle of power!
In the future when he found it, he was too late to use it, the pill could only be used by a child of 10 after he had just awakened his talent, so to him it was useless, plus knowing about the power of the pill he destroyed it, making it to ashes but this time Xiao would not let it happen, he would take it for himself!
And it was not tough to get the pill, in the book he read that guy had chanced upon it when he was traveling through the market in front of an ancient ruin, his great treasure had detected the pill sold in the market with other things that were sold in bulk, from what Xiao knew the pill would look like black marble and only when you bask it with your blood would it's true form come out
Getting the pill was easy for him, he just has to let his mother know what to buy and he would get it but getting it would be hard, he only knew that it was sold with something else and that the seller would only be giving it 10 years from now but thanks to the extensive description's in the novel he had already formulated a plan and it would soon come into action, he just has to wait
Just as Xiao was dreaming about the future the door to his room opens and his cute 4-year-old sister enters, she was wearing her cute sleeping gowns that matched with her silver blob hair, as she entered her apathetic blue eyes moved to Xiao, seeing it he spoke
"So you came to sleep with me tonight?"
Xuanyin nods her head
"Sigh....did you feel scared tonight too?"
Another head nod
Seeing it Xiao didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his sister since she's a child she might not notice now but he could definitely tell through his connection that she was lying, mostly she just wanted to sleep with him, it's been going on for some time since his sister keeps asking for it but he's not worried that she would get too attached, since he knows that his sister's natural cold disposition would one day arrive and she would be distant
Plus as they grow older she would naturally understand the things between boys and girls and naturally, she will get more distant, the thought of his cute lovely sister being distant hurt him a bit, his feelings were the reminiscent of a father watching his daughter grow older and leave him
"Sure, I was feeling lonely today too"
Hearing his answer she nodded without many emotions and ran up to him, her eyes were the same apathetic ones but deep inside stars of happiness danced, even if his sister didn't show anything, he could still feel that his sister was happy, reaching close she jumped into his embrace and stuck close to him like a kola
Her small smooth cold arms wrapped around his neck, as she laid her small cute head on his chest, the arms around his neck tightened as she snuggled into his embrace, for a moment Xuanyin's cold body was filled with warmth as a small smile came upon her face
Feeling his sister's cold body, Xiao raised his arms as he hugged her and tapped her back with calm touches, hugging his sister a sense of peace seemed to fill his body, his sister's cold body seemed to cool him down, they stayed with each other embrace for some time, after a few minutes Xiao asked a question
"Xuanyin, wasn't your brother cool in his trials?"
Hearing his question, his sister raised her head as she looked into his black eyes with her beautiful blue ones, she didn't say anything but she furiously nodded her head, from his connection he could feel the awe his sister had for him, feeling it a smile came upon his face
"So did you enjoy it?"
"..."
"Oh? you thought that your big bro's amazing?... Hahaha...what can I do I am born great"
Xiao's cocky words were met with his little sister's furious approval, to her, her big brother was the greatest, he was the only one in the world that could give her warmth and happiness, not even her mother could give her warmth, she wholeheartedly listened and loved her dear brother
