Choices and Illusions

After Xiao Lin finished explaining, Ji Li's face showed a look of realization, but there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Is the Three Thousand Burning Flames really that powerful?

Ji Li was well aware that the Three Thousand Burning Flames were also known as the Three Thousand Undying Flames.

At the same time, he also knew that the legends about the Three Thousand Burning Flames included the claim that as long as its owner was not killed on the spot, he could survive by relying on the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

However, this does not mean that the Three Thousand Burning Flames can enable a Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng expert to recover quickly from severe injuries!

This regenerative ability is probably even better than the Life Spirit Flame ranks fifth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

"Old Xiao, is the Three Thousand Burning Flames really that powerful? If it is, then its ranking on the Heavenly Flame Ranking wouldn't just be ninth, right?"

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it even deserves to be ranked higher than the Life Spirit Flame!

Ji Li was very certain about this!

Xiao Lin seemed to have expected this when Ji Li expressed his doubts.

"Ah, that's certainly true in general! However, as you should know, the Three Thousand Burning Flames is the most suitable Heavenly Flames for me! Over the years, I've put a lot of effort into the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

Its origin has now been strengthened to the point that it is in no way inferior to the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!

In addition, because I cultivate Astral Dou Qi, and the Three Thousand Burning Flames is the embodiment of the Astral Power, its enhancement to me is naturally greater than that to others.

Although in terms of power, the Three Thousand Burning Flames are by no means comparable to the Nihility Devouring Flames and the Purifying Lotus Demon Flames, I didn't expect to surpass these two Heavenly Flames in that respect either.

Therefore, over the years, what I have focused on developing is the immortality of the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

That's why, for me, even the most serious injuries are just superficial.

As long as they don't kill me on the spot, and give me enough energy from heaven and earth, I can recover as quickly as possible!

This time, Xiao Lin finally explained it in a slightly more detail.

In other words, in terms of recovery ability, Xiao Lin is now comparable to Nihility Devouring Flame!

Both require only the energy of heaven and earth to heal their injuries.

"So that's how it is. I was worried for nothing. You're lucky to have a Heavenly Flames that's so perfect for you!"

At this moment, Ji Li also uttered a sigh.

You have to understand, he was genuinely terrified when he saw Xiao Lin's condition.

Although Xiao Lin doesn't show up often at the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace these days, he is the pillar of the entire sect!

As long as Xiao Lin is there, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace can unite as one and avoid chaos.

In this respect, even Ji Li, the Second Palace Master, cannot compare.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Lin were gone one day, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace would at least begin to decline, if not fall apart.

This was to be expected.

This is probably what personal charisma is all about.

"Alright, you don't need to worry too much about my condition. Although I have recovered most of my injuries, there are still some internal injuries that I will need to rely on the Essence of Life within the Realm of Formations to heal them."

As for what exactly happened, you can get the answer from Ling Miao when she returns.

I need to go into seclusion to recover now.

And incidentally, try to achieve a new breakthrough...

Xiao Lin spoke calmly.

Everything else was fine, but when Ji Li heard Xiao Lin say he was going to make a new breakthrough, his eyes lit up instantly.

Xiao Lin is now at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng. This new breakthrough must mean...

Thinking of this, Ji Li was also happy for his good friend.

"Okay, I understand! For the next period of time, I will seal off the Realm of Formations to prevent others from disturbing you. If you need anything, just let me know!"

Ji Li spoke very solemnly.

"Yes, Old Ji, I'll leave the matter of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to you."

After saying that, Xiao Lin went into seclusion.

Xiao Lin's seclusion this time is not only to recover himself and return to his peak, but also to break through!

In his secluded retreat, Xiao Lin's eyes shone brightly.

"I've witnessed the power of the Early-Stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Furthermore, with the breakthrough experiences of my ancestors Zhukun, Gu Yuan, and Xiao Xuan, I'm certain I'll be able to break through to the Nine-Star Dou Saint this time!"

Xiao Lin's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence!

Of course, no matter what, he still needs to get himself into peak condition before he can make a breakthrough.

Xiao Lin's external injuries have basically healed.

He can heal the remaining internal injuries by relying on the Essence of Life within the Realm of Formations.

Next, it's time to recover from the energy depletion.

Finally, we summarized the results of the battle with the Nihility Devouring Flame and completed the breakthrough!

Because of the Three Thousand Burning Flames, Xiao Lin's injuries were not as severe as he had imagined.

Therefore, his healing time should not take too long.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Xiao Lin acted as if he was about to die and had to return to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to recuperate when he was with the Stone Clan was just for show.

Xiao Lin had done this before.

However, this time it was done in front of several big shots, including Gu Yuan!

Surprisingly, Xiao Lin also fooled them.

After all, who could have imagined that a powerful expert at the Late-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng could recover so quickly after suffering severe injuries?

All of this was merely a facade deliberately created by Xiao Lin.

As for his purpose, Xiao Lin was waiting for someone to take the bait...

After Xiao Lin returned to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to recuperate and break through, another half month passed, and Ling Miao also returned from the Stone Clan.

Therefore, Ji Li learned from Ling Miao immediately what had happened earlier.

Ji Li was aware of Xiao Lin and Ling Miao's plans regarding the Stone Clan, but he was unaware of the specifics of what was happening within the Stone Realm.

Now, I've finally learned the truth from Ling Miao.

As for the others in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, they knew nothing about it.

Matters involving other Emperor Clans are not suitable for those below the Dou Sheng level to know.

In addition, Ling Miao brought back news of the alliance after her return.

The Thunder, Flame, and Medicine races have now formed a treaty of alliance.

If one party is attacked, it is considered an attack on the other two parties as well.

Originally, the Stone Clan should have been included in this alliance.

However, for reasons unknown, the Stone Clan did not join them, but instead requested an alliance with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!

After Ling Miao contacted Xiao Lin using the Communication Stone and informed him of the matter, Xiao Lin was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it, he agreed.

No matter what, the Stone Clan is still a giant!

Even though the Stone Clan lost 70-80% of its population this time, the only ones who can truly suppress them now are the other Great Emperor Stone Clans, the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

Aside from these forces, even the Danta, Soul Hall, and Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan are still inferior to the Stone Clan.

After forming an alliance with the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, Shi Xiao, the patriarch of the Stone Clan, did not hesitate at all and directly sent out the only two outstanding young talents Shi Yun and Yan Longzi.

This time, Shi Yun and Yan Longzi returned to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace with Ling Miao.

Clearly, in the eyes of the Stone Clan, their own prodigies are now safer in the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace than in the Stone Clan!
