The Possibility of Resurrection!
"So, Ancestor, you should be able to foresee that it's basically only a matter of time before I become Dou Emperor, right?"
Just after Xiao Xuan's loud laughter subsided, Xiao Lin suddenly asked a pointed question.
Hearing Xiao Lin say this, Xiao Xuan was also taken aback for a moment, and then nodded after thinking for a while.
"Since you possessed the Emperor Soul at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, breaking through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint shouldn't be too difficult! And as long as you can achieve the Nine-Star Dou Saint Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint -Star Dou Sheng realm!"
Now that you possess the crucial Origin Qi needed to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm, your chances of becoming Dou Emperor are indeed very high.
If you continue cultivating normally, I estimate that you should be able to challenge for the Dou Emperor Realm in a hundred years.
Xiao Xuan was once one of the most powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent, so his judgment was naturally excellent.
Indeed, what Xiao Xuan said was true.
If Xiao Lin were to cultivate normally, it would take him at least another hundred years to break through to the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint and then attempt to reach the Dou Emperor Realm.
Don't underestimate the difference of just one star Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng and the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint. This gap is probably longer than the time it takes for many people to cultivate from zero cultivation to the Dou Sheng Realm!
Do you not see the patriarchs of the Yan and Lei clans, Yan Jin and Lei Ying? A thousand years ago, they were already at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, but a thousand years later, they are still stuck at that level!
Even the Nihility Devouring Flame took about a thousand years to break through to the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
This shows how difficult it is for Eight-Star Dou Sheng to break through to Nine-Star Dou Saint, and how long it takes to accomplish that.
Therefore, Xiao Xuan's judgment on this matter was quite correct.
It was only because Xiao Lin now possessed the Emperor Soul that Xiao Xuan felt he had the potential to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint.
Otherwise, the claim that one can reach the Dou Emperor Realm after a hundred years is a conservative estimate!
Only if you break through to the Nine Stars will you have the qualification to challenge for the title of Dou Emperor within a hundred years.
Otherwise, like Yan Jin and Lei Ying, even a thousand years would be useless!
However, Xiao Lin certainly did not intend to attempt to become Dou Emperor a hundred years later.
The daylily buds are all cold now!
In fact, Xiao Lin had some ideas about how to overtake others by taking a shortcut.
However, some things hadn't happened yet, and he couldn't explain them to his ancestors.
Furthermore, Xiao Lin didn't say all this to ask his ancestor to predict how many years it would take him to reach the Dou Emperor.
All he really needed to do was let his ancestors know that he had a chance to become Dou Emperor in the future.
"Since our ancestor was able to foresee that I could challenge for the Dou Emperor a hundred years from now, then I'll be frank: Ancestor, there are some ideas I hope you will no longer have..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lin stared intently at his ancestor's face.
Being stared at by Xiao Lin, Xiao Xuan, as the ancestor, suddenly became somewhat uneasy.
"Ahem~, what are you saying? I don't quite understand?"
Xiao Xuan shifted his gaze somewhat guiltily, while pretending to be ignorant.
"Alright, since Ancestor didn't understand, I'll be clearer! Now that Ancestor knows I can reach the Dou Emperor Realm in a hundred years through my own abilities, Ancestor, you shouldn't have any more thoughts about sacrificing yourself for us descendants."
Xiao Lin stared intently at Xiao Xuan and spoke.
"I..."
Xiao Xuan was about to retort, but when he saw the look in his junior's eyes, he couldn't say a word.
Clearly, Xiao Xuan hadn't expected that his inner thoughts would be so easily seen through by his junior.
He was about to deny it, but Xiao Lin's eyes told him that no matter how stubborn he was, it would be useless.
It's fair to say that his thoughts have been completely seen through by his juniors!
Yes, long before Xiao Lin arrived, Xiao Xuan had only met the three brothers Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, and Xiao Ding, and he had already made up his mind to sacrifice himself for the sake of his clan's descendants.
In Xiao Xuan's view, his gamble back then had failed, and even though his clansmen didn't blame him, he still felt guilty.
After all, although the Dou Emperor Bloodline of the Xiao Clan had begun to decline back then, as long as he and the Dou Sheng Elders of the Xiao Clan were still around, it would definitely be no problem to keep the Xiao Clan at its peak for another one or two thousand years.
However, because of his reckless gamble, the Xiao Clan not only weakened prematurely, but also suffered heavy casualties among its members!
Although Xiao Xuan didn't say it outright or show it, he still felt that he had let down the Xiao Clan.
Therefore, even if he could only eke out a living in the Heavenly Tomb after his death, he still wanted to do something for the descendants of the Xiao Clan.
One reason is to leave behind a portion of the Xiao Clan's Dou Emperor Bloodline.
As for the second reason, he originally planned to wait until Xiao Yan's soul realm broke through to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, then find an opportunity to explode with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit, helping Xiao Yan's soul break through to the Emperor Realm.
But after meeting Xiao Lin, he wondered if he could defeat the Heavenly Tomb Spirit and directly help Xiao Lin break through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint?
The existence of the Heavenly Tomb Spirit is very special. According to Xiao Xuan's idea, it would be something if someone could refine it.
On a spiritual level, it can help people break through from the Heaven Realm Great Perfection to the Emperor Realm.
In the Original Work, Xiao Yan obtained Emperor Realm Soul precisely because of this.
Similarly, in terms of Dou Qi realm, refining the Heavenly Tomb Spirit should also allow for a significant breakthrough.
In any case, as long as a Xiao Clan Descendants arrives, Xiao Xuan is prepared to find an opportunity to exchange blows with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.
However, because he knew the content of the Original Work, Xiao Lin directly pointed out Xiao Xuan's thoughts.
After his thoughts were exposed, Xiao Xuan naturally didn't know how to respond.
"Alas, I am already a dead man. The Xiao Clan's current predicament is entirely my fault. Xiao Lin, please let me do something more for the Xiao Clan!"
After sighing, Xiao Xuan said with a wry smile.
Xiao Xuan couldn't rest easy if he didn't do something more for the Xiao Clan Descendants!
He has let down his people!
"Ancestor, I understand your feelings, and I wholeheartedly agree with them! However, such self-sacrifice is unnecessary! If you truly feel indebted to the Xiao Clan, wouldn't it be better to make amends after your resurrection?"
At this moment, Xiao Lin's sudden topic stunned Xiao Xuan.
"Resurrection?"
Upon hearing this term, Xiao Xuan was somewhat taken aback.
"That's right, Ancestor. The fact that you are still alive in the Heavenly Tomb means that you are not completely dead! As long as you are not completely dead, there is still a possibility of resurrection!"
Xiao Lin said with absolute certainty!
However, after a moment of stunned silence, Xiao Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"While I am not truly dead, resurrecting me is virtually impossible!"
Xiao Xuan was not affected by Xiao Lin's words.
