Master's Sect—Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
"Disciple Xiao Lin pays respects to Master!"
When Formation Old Man asked for his name, Xiao Lin respectfully kowtowed three times in succession.
With the conditions limited, and Formation Old Man being only a remnant soul, this could only serve as a simple disciple-taking ceremony.
"Xiao Lin, is it? Not bad, not bad. At such a young age, you already possess the cultivation of a Dou Emperor and Heavenly Realm Soul Power. Especially the latter—even in my era, very few people your age could achieve it!"
Formation Old Man's tone carried indescribable emotion.
Xiao Lin's outstanding talent was likely one of the reasons Formation Old Man was willing to impart all his abilities to him without reservation.
However, since Formation Old Man could see through Xiao Lin at a glance, then at his peak, setting aside his Dou Qi cultivation, his soul power had at least not been weaker than Xiao Lin's.
Otherwise, there was no way he could have seen through every last detail of Xiao Lin, that old schemer.
Of course, Xiao Lin had long since guessed as much.
Formation Old Man's soul was incredibly weak now, as though a gust of wind could scatter it.
But one must not forget that Formation Old Man had survived in this crippled soul form for who knew how many years!
Moreover, he had just used a portion of his remaining soul power to forcibly activate the Formation Pavilion's properties, distorting the difference in time flow inside and outside it.
Later, when Xiao Lin had just stepped onto the ninth floor of the Formation Pavilion, Formation Old Man had even been able to distort the surrounding space, preventing Xiao Lin from discovering him immediately.
If Formation Old Man had not possessed Heavenly Realm Soul Power in his prime, Xiao Lin would never believe it even if beaten to death.
Thus, Xiao Lin was not particularly surprised that Formation Old Man could see through him.
"Master, since you are not from the Savage Sect here, then what sect do we belong to?"
Now that he had taken a master, there were some matters Xiao Lin still needed to clarify.
This was not only out of courtesy, but also out of responsibility to himself!
"The sect we belonged to... what a distant memory. Before I built this Formation Pavilion for the Savage Sect, our sect had already been destroyed by enemies from beyond the heavens.
At that time, my cultivation was still low, and because I happened to be away from the sect, I luckily escaped disaster.
I once considered rebuilding the sect, but with my strength alone, I ultimately failed to make it happen!
Later, the Savage Sect also encountered a powerful enemy. I had wanted to lend a hand, but in the end, I was buried here alongside them.
As for our sect's name, it was called the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. Back then, it was renowned throughout the Dou Qi Continent for the Dao of formations."
Xiao Lin's question once again stirred Formation Old Man's memories of the past.
However, since Xiao Lin had now become his disciple, he truly ought to learn some of the sect's secrets.
Suddenly recalling something, Formation Old Man's face revealed a trace of hesitation.
To be honest, if he merely wanted to pass down everything he knew, he had not intended to tell Xiao Lin this information.
But things were different now.
Xiao Lin could be considered one of their Myriad Formation Spirit Palace now, so Formation Old Man felt that he should tell him!
Yet when he considered the danger of the matter, Formation Old Man hesitated again.
"Master, is there something you wish to entrust to me?"
Sensing his master's inner indecision, Xiao Lin spoke up at the right moment.
After struggling for who knew how long, Formation Old Man finally gritted his teeth and decided to let Xiao Lin know.
As for whether Xiao Lin would go to that place in the end, that would depend entirely on his own choice.
But as his master, he could not deprive his disciple of the right to know!
Xiao Lin had never expected that he had taken Formation Old Man as his master merely out of respect, only to receive an unexpected benefit in the end!
It had to be said, this master was well worth taking!
"Xiao Lin, there is indeed something I want to entrust to you. But you must first promise me that before you are strong enough, you absolutely must not take the risk!
Otherwise, I would rather take this secret to the grave!"
At that moment, Formation Old Man's expression became incomparably solemn.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin's expression also turned serious.
"Master, I promise you. Before my strength is sufficient, I will never touch the matter you speak of!"
Xiao Lin was naturally the cautious and crafty type. With Formation Old Man looking this grave, only an idiot would risk his life for it.
He was working hard to live until the ending of Battle Through the Heavens.
As long as his grandson Xiao Yan became a Dou Emperor, he could ride his coattails and ascend!
There was no need for him to do anything unnecessary!
In the original work, when Xiao Xiao's father, Xiao Yan, advanced to Dou Emperor, her cultivation had directly soared to an eight-star Dou Saint.
As Xiao Yan's biological grandfather, although Xiao Lin was one generation further removed by blood than Xiao Xiao, Xiao Yan's daughter, if nothing unexpected happened, once Xiao Yan became a Dou Emperor, Xiao Lin would at least soar to a five-star Dou Saint.
Since that was the case, there were some risks Xiao Lin simply did not need to take!
But if his strength was sufficient, some risks would no longer be risks.
"Don't be nervous. It is not really a major matter. When your Spirit Formation Master level rises to the point where you can see through the secret I left in that copy of Basic Formation Annotations, go take a look at the former site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.
When the sect faced enemies from beyond the heavens, although it was ultimately destroyed, that enemy from beyond the heavens should have perished within the former site of our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace as well.
After all these years, I do not know what became of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace's predecessors or that enemy from beyond the heavens.
But there is certainly some danger at the former site of our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!
Therefore, before your strength is sufficient, you absolutely must not return to explore it!"
To avoid frightening his newly accepted disciple, Formation Old Man's tone sounded deliberately relaxed.
However, it was not hard to tell from his words that the former site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace was definitely dangerous.
Otherwise, since Formation Old Man had luckily escaped the disaster of his sect's destruction, how could he possibly have never returned to take a look at his own sect afterward?
Thus, there was only one explanation.
The danger at the former site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace was beyond what Formation Old Man of that time could involve himself with.
This made Xiao Lin even more cautious.
At the same time, the enemies from beyond the heavens repeatedly mentioned by Formation Old Man also caught Xiao Lin's attention.
Those called enemies from beyond the heavens presumably could not be natives of the Dou Qi Continent.
In that case, others might not know where those so-called enemies from beyond the heavens came from, but how could Xiao Lin, who had awakened his Past-Life Wisdom, know nothing about it?
Enemies from the Greater World? The Extraterrestrial Evil Race? Or natives of the Greater World seeking to seize the resources of a Lower Plane?
Both of Xiao Lin's guesses were possible.
Although the possibility that this enemy from beyond the heavens belonged to the Extraterrestrial Evil Race was higher, it could not be ruled out that they were natives of the Greater World.
After all, who could guarantee that anyone from the Greater World who discovered a Lower Plane would be a person of noble character?
Take Hun Tiandi, for example.
Xiao Lin dared guarantee that if Hun Tiandi discovered a Lower Plane, he would immediately seize control of it!
And there was no shortage of people in the Greater World who were even more ruthless than Hun Tiandi!
However, matters concerning the Greater World were still far too distant for the current Xiao Lin, so there was no need for him to worry too much.
If he discovered that the former site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace was truly too dangerous, he simply would not touch it.
After all, throughout the original Battle Through the Heavens, there were no powerful enemies from outside the Dou Qi Continent. Only the Hun Clan had been causing trouble all along.
In that regard, compared to the neighboring Profound Heaven Continent, the Dou Qi Continent was practically blissful!
Therefore, Xiao Lin had long made up his mind that he absolutely would not touch any strange and dangerous places.
Otherwise, he might accidentally release some great devil and turn the Dou Qi Continent into a complete mess.
Thus, Xiao Lin took every word of Formation Old Man's warning to heart.
"Before my cultivation is sufficient, I will absolutely not go to the former site of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace!"
Xiao Lin silently made a vow in his heart.
