Spatial Wormhole
After meeting the Heavenly Serpent Emperor, Xiao Lin only chatted for a short while before being arranged to stay in a luxurious building near the Imperial Palace.
"This is extremely abnormal!"
This was the first thought that arose in Xiao Lin's mind after he settled into his lodgings.
Putting aside the question of why the Heavenly Serpent Emperor would conceal his cultivation level, the fact that the other party only met him once before sending him away from the Imperial Palace seems highly abnormal.
It's important to understand that when the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family invited the Jia Nan Academy members to participate in the Founding Ceremony, they were essentially trying to make a deal with them.
However, this meeting was clearly the best opportunity to discuss this matter, but the other party didn't even mention it!
It would be a miracle if this were normal!
How to put it? It gives the impression that the whole thing First Elder Su Qian talked about never happened at all.
This made Xiao Lin wonder what exactly the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family was planning.
However, after thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin still had no clue.
"Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. It was the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family that needed something from the Jia Nan Academy. Since they're not bringing it up now, why should I bother with it?"
Since he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Lin decided to give up.
After all, Xiao Lin possessed the ability to overcome all obstacles with sheer force.
If the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family truly harbors malicious intentions and intends to use them against him, then he wouldn't hesitate to overturn the table.
Because he has the ability!
With Eight-Star Dou Zong, Early Heavenly Realm soul, and Four-Tier Spirit Array Master, let alone facing a mere Nine-Star Dou Zong, Xiao Lin was confident he could scatter their ashes even if some Low-Level Dou Venerable came!
If that's the case, then what else does he have to worry about?
Rather, it's more accurate to say that they hope the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family won't be so blind as to provoke him.
Otherwise, Xiao Lin would show them what the word "cruel" really means!
And so, Xiao Lin stopped thinking about the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family and instead continued to leisurely stroll around the Imperial Capital the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
As the premier city of the entire Northwest Continent, the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire still has many merits.
Its prosperity was naturally far beyond that of other countries.
Especially in the days leading up to the Founding Ceremony of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, the number of people has surged!
People came from all directions, some to watch the spectacle, others to offer their congratulations.
Sure enough, during the few days Xiao Lin had been wandering around the Heavenly Serpent Empire, he had already seen several Dou Zong arrive.
It is no exaggeration to say that on the day the Heavenly Serpent Empire's Founding Ceremony begins, there will definitely be more than 20 Dou Zong present in this city!
After all, the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family already has four Dou Zong, so the Heavenly Serpent Mansion, which is even stronger than the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family, would only have more Dou Zong.
Furthermore, within the Heavenly Serpent Empire, there may be other sects or forces possessing Dou Zong.
Even with such a rough calculation, the Heavenly Serpent Empire itself may already possess more than 10 Dou Zong.
This level of strength already allows them to completely overwhelm the surrounding empires.
Moreover, it's uncertain whether the Heavenly Serpent Empire might still harbor Dou Zun expert above the Dou Zong.
Xiao Lin could already imagine that the day the Heavenly Serpent Empire's Founding Ceremony began would be a grand feast!
Of course, this will happen a few days later.
Actually, Xiao Lin originally thought that the Heavenly Serpent Imperial Family would have something to do with the Jia Nan Academy, so he arrived a few days early.
This is also why he has had time to wander around the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire these past few days after being arranged by the Heavenly Serpent Emperor to stay near the Imperial Palace.
Because he was among the first group of people to arrive and offer his congratulations.
Furthermore, what impressed Xiao Lin most about the Heavenly Serpent Empire was not how many Dou Zong they possessed, or whether they had any Dou Zun experts hidden, but something else entirely!
That is, there is actually a Spatial Wormhole in the Imperial Capital of the Heavenly Serpent Empire.
That's right, it's Spatial Wormhole!
When Xiao Lin was strolling around the Imperial Capital the Heavenly Serpent Empire, he discovered a huge Blackstone Square.
The plaza was extremely spacious, constructed entirely of a black stone that exuded a sense of solidity amidst its coldness.
Around the Blackstone Square, dozens of guards were on duty, and the two elders leading them were powerful experts at the Dou Zong Realm. At the same time, on a towering stone platform within the plaza, an extremely powerful Spatial Power was faintly emanating from it.
Above it was a massive, pitch-black void, ten feet in size, which was slowly rotating.
The Spatial Power that Xiao Lin sensed emanated from that place.
With just one glance, Xiao Lin was certain that this was Spatial Wormhole that only a true Dou Zun expert could open!
Despite Xiao Lin's current combat strength, which is almost comparable to Mid-Level Dou Venerable, his true Dou Qi cultivation is still only Eight-Star Dou Zong.
He cannot create such Spatial Void for the time being.
That's a mark unique to Dou Zun experts!
Upon seeing the Spatial Wormhole within the Imperial Capital the Heavenly Serpent Empire, Xiao Lin was already certain of his identity.
Regardless of whether the Heavenly Serpent Empire currently possesses hidden Dou Zun expert level experts, it certainly did possess them in the past!
The Spatial Wormhole within its Imperial Capital is irrefutable proof!
"Spatial Wormhole, Dou Venerable —these two terms seem to be not far from becoming my reality!"
Upon seeing the wormhole, Xiao Lin's heart burned with excitement.
Feeling the wisps of Spatial Power emanating from him, Xiao Lin truly wished he could break through to the Dou Zun Realm immediately.
But he also knew that he still had a long way to go before breaking through to the Dou Zun Realm.
Xiao Lin's unusual behavior after arriving at Blackstone Square immediately alerted the two Dou Zong guarding the Spatial Wormhole.
After all, Xiao Lin's behavior was far too blatant. If those two Dou Zong still couldn't notice Xiao Lin's abnormality, then they must be blind.
These two Dou Zong felt their hair stand on end after realizing they couldn't see through Xiao Lin's cultivation level.
It should be noted that this is the Founding Ceremony of the Heavenly Serpent Empire, so naturally, Dou Zong from all directions are coming.
The two of them naturally knew how important the existence of the Spatial Wormhole was to their Heavenly Serpent Empire.
It's no exaggeration to say that if someone were to destroy this Spatial Wormhole, not to mention anything else, the entire Imperial Capital the Heavenly Serpent Empire would probably be blown to smithereens.
Now that a Dou Zong, behaving so abnormally and whose strength surpasses theirs, is staring nakedly at the Spatial Wormhole, how could these two Dou Zong from the Heavenly Serpent Empire guarding the Spatial Wormhole not feel their hearts pounding with fear?
