Entering Seclusion to Break Through!

Xiao Lin did not tell Xiao Yan about the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

After all, it's not Xiao Yan's place to deal with the Heavenly Tomb Spirit.

The letter that Xiao Lin asked him to pass on to Gu Yuan already explained everything.

I believe Gu Yuan will know what to do after reading the letter.

Once Gu Yuan and Xiao Xuan join forces within the Heavenly Tomb, what chance will the Heavenly Tomb Spirit have?

At the same time, it eliminates the need for Xiao Lin to take action himself, so why not?

"Oh, right, when you're preparing to go to the Gu Clan, remember to visit the Xiao Household and bring Ancestor Xiao Chen along. I think Ancestors Xiao Chen and Xiao Xuan would very much like to see each other again..."

As if remembering something, Xiao Lin added another sentence.

"Yes, I will!"

This time, Xiao Yan nodded very seriously as well.

In an instant, Xiao Yan realized that his grandfather had clearly arranged everything for him!

How can I describe this feeling?

It's so satisfying, yet so frustrating!

In short, it's a feeling I can't quite put my finger on.

However, with the final battle fast approaching, Xiao Yan knew he shouldn't dwell on these things.

Because improving my strength as quickly as possible is my top priority!

Afterwards, Xiao Lin gave Xiao Yan a few more instructions, which the latter nodded in agreement.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Xiao Lin slowly stood up.

"Alright, you can go ahead and do your thing. I have my own things to do now!"

Xiao Lin spoke slowly and calmly.

Upon hearing his grandfather say this, Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa, isn't it about time you told me some things?"

Xiao Yan said meaningfully.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Xiao Yan's meaning was quite clear: he wanted to know the secrets his grandfather had been hiding.

Meeting Xiao Yan's probing gaze, Xiao Lin's lips curled into a smile.

"You'll find out before the final battle!"

Xiao Lin left behind only this one sentence.

Subsequently, Xiao Lin finally left the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

Just as he said, Xiao Yan needed to break through, so did he.

Xiao Lin has already been delayed for several days because of Xiao Yan's succession as the leader of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.

Next, Xiao Lin naturally planned to go into seclusion and break through to the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint realm in one go!

After leaving the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, Xiao Lin first returned to the Xiao Household, and then went directly back to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace to cultivate in seclusion.

The Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, the deepest part of the Realm of Formations.

After making all the preparations, Xiao Lin began his seclusion.

Xiao Lin's trip to the Yao Clan was quite fruitful.

The power left behind by the Medicine Emperor's Remnant Soul is still sealed within his body.

Now, he finally has the time to refine it.

Of course, Xiao Lin also planned to take advantage of this seclusion to review the various Dou Techniques he had mastered.

The power that Dou Techniques can unleash is sometimes related to your level of proficiency in mastering them.

Although once you reach the Nine-Star Dou Saint realm, your every move can unleash power comparable to Heaven Rank Dou Technique, it's still somewhat inferior to those top-tier Dou Techniques.

This is also why Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and others no longer frequently use Ordinary Dou Techniques in their battles.

The same thing will probably happen to Xiao Lin next.

After all, Nine-Star Dou Saint can already make bricks fly with great strength.

Subsequently, during the month before his seclusion, Xiao Lin did not rush to break through, but instead refined all the things he had learned that still seemed to have flaws.

It was during this process that Xiao Lin's own foundation deepened.

In fact, in terms of foundation, Xiao Lin is still a step behind Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun.

Xiao Lin's current combat strength is largely due to various special methods he has employed to compensate for his shortcomings.

Otherwise, you wouldn't think that Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun, those three old guys who had been at the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint for thousands of years, had the same foundation as Xiao Lin, would you?

You have to understand, because there's nowhere left to go, they've already pushed themselves to the limit in every aspect!

In fact, these three can no longer be regarded as Ordinary Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint.

This also applies to both the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint and the Yellow Springs Demon Saint.

As for the Pill Tower Ancestor and the Old Ancestor of the Burning Flame Valley, their situations are unclear, and the Original Work does not contain much description of how powerful they are.

However, the three strongest beings in the Dou Qi Continent today, plus the two Demon Saints, are all genuine beings who only lack Origin Qi to break through to the Dou Emperor Realm!

Oh, and there's also Xiao Xuan.

In other words, their cultivation reaching the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint realm was not because they could only cultivate to this level, but because the hand of fate had sealed the upper limit of the Dou Qi Continent!

To put it bluntly, they are the kind of people who are unable to break through to the Dou Emperor.

If you put them in the ancient Dou Qi Continent era, where Origin Qi existed, they would break through to the Dou Emperor Realm in no time!

Therefore, they actually belong to the special category of Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint.

The true Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint should be some existence from the ancient Dou Qi Continent.

Even with their Origin Qi, these people are still stuck at the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint; this is the true strength that someone at that level should possess.

Based on Xiao Lin's speculation, the Burning Flame Valley Ancestor and the Pill Tower Ancestor likely fall into this category...

Of course, this is just Xiao Lin's guess!

Xiao Lin's seclusion this time is not only to prepare for a breakthrough, but he also doesn't want to become one of those Ordinary Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, despite Origin Qi, cannot break through to the Dou Emperor Realm!

Xiao Lin would probably burst into tears on the spot.

Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Xiao Lin chose to thoroughly check his condition before breaking through.

It's better to be safe than sorry!

The Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, which can be broken through with the Origin Qi, is what Xiao Lin is pursuing!

Finally, a month later, Xiao Lin felt he was perfect.

"Phew~, that's about it. Now, I should be able to start my breakthrough!"

After taking a deep breath, a hint of excitement appeared on Xiao Lin's face.

After so many years of hard work, he is finally about to reach the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent!

It can be said that once Xiao Lin breaks through to the Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint, with the addition of a High Heaven Grade Spiritual Formation Grandmaster, his combat power will surpass that of Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhukun, making him the true number one in the Dou Qi Continent!

Of course, we still have to exclude the Bodhi Ancient Tree Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill, those two inhuman things...

Finally, after completing all the preparations, Xiao Lin truly began his breakthrough!

"Buzz~"

Just as Xiao Lin began his breakthrough, in an instant, the entire Realm of Formations was enveloped by endless starlight.

At that moment, the Realm of Formations seemed to transform into the shape of Starry Sky...
