A Twenty-Year Pact

On the Dou Qi Continent, many people are actually stuck at the Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint. It's not that they can only go this far, but that they have no other way forward!

Xiao Xuan was one of them.

Moreover, Xiao Xuan's personality is even more decisive than Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi!

Otherwise, how could he have dared to fight so hard to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm a thousand years ago?

You know, the three of them were pretty much evenly matched back then!

Let's not even talk about the Hun Tiandi; he learned from the Nihility Devouring Flame that one must possess Origin Qi to break through to the Dou Emperor.

But what about Gu Yuan?

To be honest, before he knew that breaking through to the Dou Emperor required Origin Qi, he never even considered taking a gamble and hoping to turn a small effort into a huge success.

However, if one knew of the existence of the Greater Worlds, and knew that there were realms above the Dou Emperor, wouldn't everyone want to experience the scenery there?

Xiao Xuan was no exception!

Therefore, when Xiao Lin described the existence of the Greater World to his ancestor, Xiao Xuan was moved.

After all, the Greater World possesses power surpassing the level of Dou Emperor, and therefore naturally has a relatively easy way to revive him.

If that's the case, and if he doesn't need to be a burden on his descendants, then being able to be resurrected is indeed a very good option!

"Ancestor, how about this: give me another 20 years! During these 20 years, don't think about sacrificing yourself to do anything for us!"

Twenty years from now, I'll take you to Greater World!

I will definitely resurrect you then!

If I can't do it, then whatever you want to do then, I won't stop you anymore.

What do you think?

Seeing that his ancestor was finally hesitant and tempted, Xiao Lin quickly pressed on to persuade him.

Right now, Xiao Lin is just drawing up a blueprint for Xiao Xuan.

That's why he hesitated.

Once Xiao Xuan realizes what's happening, given his lack of knowledge about the Original Work plot, he will most likely still refuse.

Therefore, before that, he had to appease his ancestors!

This so-called 20-year agreement was just a way for Xiao Lin to stall for time.

Given Xiao Xuan's character, he would never go back on his word.

As for 20 years from now?

Believe it or not, according to the Original Work plot, neither the Hun Tiandi nor the Hun Clan would have lasted that long!

By then, he estimated that he would either have already gone to the Greater World, or be preparing to go to the Greater World.

Naturally, there's no need for the self-sacrifice of one's ancestors.

"20 years? Are you kidding me, Xiao Lin? In such a short time, you wouldn't even be able to reach the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, let alone break through to the Dou Emperor Realm?"

Clearly, Xiao Xuan didn't quite believe what Xiao Lin said.

After all, it's normal that Xiao Xuan doesn't have an omniscient perspective.

Keep in mind that 20 years later, not only himself, but Xiao Yan would have become Dou Emperor.

Furthermore, the grass on the grave of the Hun Tiandi has turned yellow countless times!

Xiao Lin had actually given an extra timeframe; otherwise, he would have said 10 years!

However, Xiao Lin was also afraid of frightening his ancestors, so he only said 20 years.

"In that case, Ancestor, how about we make a bet? We'll see in 20 years!"

Xiao Lin directly resorted to provocation.

After Xiao Lin finished speaking, Xiao Xuan did not speak immediately, but instead carefully looked Xiao Lin up and down again.

His gaze seemed to see right through Xiao Lin, inside and out!

As for Xiao Lin, he allowed his ancestor to scrutinize him, his expression remaining calm yet exuding confidence.

It was the confidence revealed in Xiao Lin's eyes that further swayed Xiao Xuan's resolve.

He had a feeling that what Xiao Lin said might actually be true!

"First, he had the cultivation of Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng, plus the Emperor Realm Soul. Then he obtained Origin Qi and even went to see the vast Greater World. Now he is confident that he can break through to Dou Emperor within 20 years and take me to the Greater World!"

Xiao Lin, there must be some secrets about you that I don't know about, right?

Although it was a question, Xiao Xuan's tone was absolutely certain.

Otherwise, Xiao Xuan couldn't explain why Xiao Lin dared to make this so-called 20-year agreement with him.

After all, there's no point in dragging this out for 20 years!

Therefore, the only reason is that Xiao Lin really has a way to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm within 20 years!

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's interest in his junior suddenly reached its peak.

He really wanted to see how his descendants had cultivated to the Dou Emperor Realm within the last 20 years!

When Xiao Lin heard his ancestor say that he possessed unknown secrets, he could only remain silent.

It wasn't that Xiao Lin was unwilling to tell his ancestors, but rather that he couldn't explain the matter of time travel!

It can be said that, apart from the fact that he is a time traveler, Xiao Lin's secrets have been almost entirely revealed.

He did all that just to prevent his ancestor from "committing suicide"—it's that simple!

"Alright! Since you're so confident, I'll accept your 20-year promise! I can assure you that within 20 years, I will absolutely not sacrifice myself for the sake of future generations!"

Xiao Lin, let me see what heights you'll reach in 20 years!

Seeing Xiao Lin remain silent, Xiao Xuan didn't say anything else and finally nodded in agreement.

Ancestor, are you serious?

The moment Xiao Xuan agreed to the 20-year promise, Xiao Lin's face lit up with joy.

"Heh, what, do you want me to back out?"

Seeing Xiao Lin's excited expression, Xiao Xuan asked back with amusement.

"No, no, no, how could that be! Since that's the case, Ancestor, it's a deal! Give me 20 years, and I can not only reach the Dou Emperor Realm, but also take you to the Greater World!"

Xiao Lin said with a burning gaze.

"Okay, I'll be waiting!"

The younger generation has such confidence, and he also wants to wait for that day to come.

Thus, Xiao Xuan temporarily abandoned his idea of exploding with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

Afterwards, Xiao Lin naturally began to consult his ancestor about cultivation matters.

Unlike when facing Gu Yuan, Xiao Lin had to keep his true intentions hidden.

Xiao Lin had no need to hide anything from his ancestors.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan discovered another surprise in Xiao Lin.

That is the third way to demonstrate strength, besides the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng and the Emperor Realm Soul, namely, the Spirit Array Master.

Unfortunately, Xiao Lin can only rely on himself as a Spirit Array Master; currently, no one on the Dou Qi Continent can help him.

But this doesn't stop Xiao Xuan from being proud of his juniors.

It should be noted that Xiao Lin's current situation, with his pure Emperor Realm Soul, is equivalent to the strength of Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

Then there's the Mid Heaven Grade Spiritual Formation Grandmaster, who is also on par with Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

In addition, he himself possessed the Dou Qi cultivation level of Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

In this way, Xiao Lin alone is equivalent to the strength of three Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng!
