Another Opportunity?

The double breakthrough in both his Dou Qi cultivation and soul realm made Xiao Lin so happy that he started humming a song in the old site of the Ancient Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

However, this cannot be blamed on Xiao Lin's lack of composure.

After such a breakthrough, it's hard to imagine anyone remaining calm.

Moreover, Xiao Lin has been suppressing his feelings for far too long.

Because he was familiar with the course of history, he desperately wanted to change some of the tragedies in the Original Work story.

However, his strength was ultimately limited in the early days, so he didn't dare to be too reckless.

In addition, there is another Hun Clan who still harbors resentment towards the so-called Xiao Household of the Xiao Clan Remnants and is eyeing them covetously.

And the Gu Clans who harbored unclear good and evil intentions towards the Xiao Household.

All of this weighed heavily on Xiao Lin's heart, like a mountain.

Faced with such pressure, Xiao Lin found himself unable to share it with anyone!

So he ended up having to keep it to himself, didn't he?

To be honest, this feeling is not pleasant!

After all, what kind of good-natured time-traveler wouldn't enjoy the thrill of revenge, drinking the strongest liquor, and chasing after the most beautiful women?

However, Xiao Lin, the grandfather of the protagonist in the Original Work, had no such thoughts at all!

There's nothing we can do about it; he knows history!

If he doesn't do something, the tragedy of the Xiao Household in the Original Work will happen sooner or later!

Don't be fooled by the Original Work, the Xiao Household all ascended to immortality after Xiao Yan became Dou Emperor.

But before this, countless Xiao Household had died.

Leaving aside the others, in the Original Work, Yun Shan turned to the dark side, Xiao Household was hunted down by the Misty Cloud Sect to the point that only a handful of cats and dogs remained!

The Three Great Elders of the Xiao Household even sacrificed themselves to cover the retreat so that the rest of the Xiao Household could escape.

These are all facts, and Xiao Lin is aware of them as well.

Do you think Xiao Lin can let these things continue to happen?

Of course, if he only cares about living a carefree life and doesn't care about the fate of the Xiao Household, then that's fine.

But Xiao Lin is a human being, a normal human being!

He clearly can't do this kind of thing.

Therefore, Xiao Lin was actually carrying the Xiao Household on his shoulders, moving forward with a heavy responsibility.

He only breathed a slight sigh of relief when Zhukun was released by Xiao Lin.

However, Xiao Lin was clearly not the kind of person who would place all his hopes on others.

Because of Zi Yan, Zhukun and he now have a very close relationship.

The other party also promised that if the Hun Clan attacked the Xiao Household family, he would definitely help them.

However, would Xiao Lin dare to gamble that if Zi Yan or the Ancient Void Dragon Clan encountered trouble, Zhukun would come to his aid first?

That's clearly wishful thinking.

Therefore, for Xiao Lin, he always regarded Zhukun as an external aid, not someone to rely on.

In matters concerning his own life and the lives of his clan, Xiao Lin believed that the only person he could truly rely on was himself!

Otherwise, why would Xiao Lin be so persistent in improving his strength?

Therefore, releasing Zhukun from the Ancient Emperor's Cave ahead of schedule relieved Xiao Lin.

Now that he has reached the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng and the Emperor Soul realm, half of the worry he had been carrying has been relieved.

As for getting him to truly let go, he'd probably need the soul of the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint Emperor Soul.

"Click~"

Having roughly grasped his current strength, Xiao Lin stretched his body and twisted his neck.

"This feels so good!"

It was unclear whether Xiao Lin's sigh referred to his current mood or his own strength.

However, although Xiao Lin has now entered the realm of the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Saint Emperor Soul, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

After all, the strength of the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Saint Emperor Soul was already terrifying to him; how could the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint Emperor Soul possibly be any better?

"I wonder just how strong Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun really are? I'm so envious!"

Xiao Lin continued to sigh.

Don't be fooled by Xiao Lin's current status as Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng; there's still a long way to go before he reaches the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint!

Haven't you seen Nihility Devouring Flame was stuck at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng for over a thousand years, only breaking through to the Nine Stars recently after devouring the entire Ling Clan?

If Xiao Lin doesn't encounter any further opportunities, who knows when he'll be able to break through to the Nine Stars, or even the late-stage Nine Stars?

Clearly, taking this final step is no easy feat.

Xiao Lin wasn't so arrogant as to believe he could definitely go that far.

But he will not give up, that's for sure!

Afterwards, Xiao Lin composed himself and stopped dwelling on his achievements.

People should look forward.

"Buzz~"

Then, Xiao Lin took a step forward and landed on the ground.

At this moment, the place beneath his feet was the mysterious obsidian altar that had previously suppressed the Demon Shi Lingdao.

"This place... is strange!"

Looking at the mysterious obsidian altar beneath his feet, Xiao Lin couldn't help but murmur.

At the same time, Xiao Lin's brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, it was only when Xiao Lin unleashed his Emperor Realm Soul without reservation that he realized there was something strange about this mysterious obsidian altar.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Lin's soul had entered the Emperor Realm that he was able to perceive it.

When he only Soul Power the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, he had not discovered any problems with the obsidian altar.

Because, at first, Xiao Lin only regarded it as a special place to suppress the Demon Transformation Shi Lingdao.

Later, the demonic Shi Lingdao transformed into a human and escaped with the help of Hun Yan, after which Xiao Lin stopped paying attention to the obsidian altar.

Then, only when his soul reached the Emperor Realm did he notice something unusual about this obsidian altar again.

"This obsidian altar doesn't seem to be solely used to suppress that new Shi Lingdao! Also, those eight destroyed white jade pillars seem to have been added later."

After careful examination beside the obsidian altar, Xiao Lin also came to a conclusion.

Rather than saying that this obsidian altar was used to suppress the new Shi Lingdao, it would be more accurate to say that it was merely a cover-up.

In fact, those eight white jade pillars are the key to suppressing the new Shi Lingdao!

In other words, as long as those eight white jade pillars are there, they can actually suppress the new Shi Lingdao anywhere!

However, the reason why the new Shi Lingdao was suppressed here was simply to prevent the obsidian altar in the old site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace from appearing too out of place.

Similarly, the secrets of this mysterious obsidian altar cannot be discovered by anyone who is not at the Emperor Realm Soul!

Before devouring the Soul Origin of the Rakshasa Heart Demon Emperor, Xiao Lin didn't have that qualification, but now he does.

"Interesting, using one secret to cover up another? That way, the deeper secret will be overlooked. What an ingenious arrangement!"

As he said this, the curiosity in Xiao Lin's eyes became even more pronounced.

Especially now that Xiao Lin has the strength of Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng plus Emperor Soul, he is even more eager to explore the secrets of this obsidian altar.

Xiao Lin had a feeling that this place might hold the greatest opportunity of his trip!
