Central Plains, the Shi Clan's Stone Realm.
"Yi'er, why do you keep staring at your little brother lately?"
"...Little brother is very strange."
"There is a piece of bone on his chest, and intricate, profound runes are actually engraved upon it, emitting an aura that is both desolate and surging."
Within the young boy's calm eyes, deep light flowed faintly. At this moment, he was staring fixedly at the cute infant in his mother's arms.
The fair and beautiful woman couldn't help being startled upon hearing this.
She knew that this child of hers was born extraordinary. Not only had he inherited the powerful Soul Power from his mother and the formidable physique from his father, but his eyes also contained two pupils each-he was born with Double Pupils!
Ever since he began practicing Qi at age three, he had often been able to perceive things that others found difficult to detect, so what he said was naturally extremely reliable.
"You're saying that the runes on that bone nurture the power of desolation and surging vitality? Then... wouldn't that be extremely compatible with your physical training needs..."
Lost in thought for a moment, the beautiful woman's red lips parted slightly, the astonishment in her eyes gradually fading as her expression froze in place.
"The Shi Clan has gained yet another..."
Among the Eight Ancient Clans, the Dou Di Bloodline of the Shi Clan was renowned for its physical body and defense.
Its clansmen possessed innate divine strength and vigorous Qi and blood, boasting physiques comparable to top-tier magical beasts and incomparably tough skin.
To put it simply, they possessed a high health pool and dual resistances.
The beautiful woman's expression drifted uncertainly as she stared silently at the cute, chubby baby in her arms.
After a long while, a flash of imperceptible ruthlessness crossed her eyes, and she then turned to instruct Shi Yi, saying, "Don't tell anyone about this!"
"Especially your father! Absolutely do not let him know!"
"Sigh..."
"The Double Pupils are inherently an invincible path; why bother exploring another's runes?"
Within the Dou Qi Continent's secret space, the orb of light at the center of the Chaos Sea trembled slightly like a heart.
An illusory figure manifested from the orb of light, and an ethereal voice drifted within the internal space.
At this moment, Xiao Lin's eyes continuously flashed with images from every corner of the continent, jumping frame by frame like a movie playing.
They finally stopped on the beautiful woman in the Stone Realm who seemed to be frantically preparing for some kind of ritual.
Plane Eye: In the flow of mind and spirit, one can discern and overhear every single frame of imagery within the plane.
Wielding the ability unique to the Plane Embryo, Xiao Lin gained insight into this classic scene that had transpired in the Stone Realm.
"The Desolate Ancestral Symbol, one of the Eight Great Ancestral Symbols."
"In the Dou Qi Continent, this thing can only truly unleash its potential through magical beasts with inherently formidable physical bodies or members of the Shi Clan, one of the Eight Ancient Clans."
"I don't know if giving it to the Shi Clan is right or wrong... but at least it won't go to waste."
Xiao Lin didn't seem surprised or shocked by the appearance of things that didn't belong to this world, such as the Double Pupils and the Ancestral Symbol; instead, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Because the appearance of those things was precisely caused by him.
Viscous energy flowed around his body, and the space where Xiao Lin resided was like the heart of the plane, every beat connecting with the origin of the world.
Plane Embryo Restoration Progress: 10%
A cold stream of information swept through his consciousness.
Within the orb of light, a smile curled the corners of the mouth upon Xiao Lin's fetal avatar, which resembled a nascent soul.
Decades ago, accompanied by spatial turbulence, Xiao Lin's soul arrived upon this Dou Qi Continent.
He discovered that he had transmigrated... but the method of transmigration seemed to have gone wrong-
He hadn't become a member of the Xiao Clan in Wutan City.
His soul hadn't returned to one of the Eight Ancient Clans.
He hadn't even turned into a magical beast in the mountain ranges!
Instead, he had merged with a miraculous existence unrecorded in the continent...
The Plane Embryo.
The Plane Embryo, also known as the Plane Spirit, was an conscious entity formed after the plane power of a realm condensed. It was both the soul of the plane and the master of the plane.
Only, the Dou Qi Continent Plane Embryo that Xiao Lin had merged with now seemed rather weak and withered...
It apparently related to the Battle of Dou Di tens of millennia ago.
"Although the integration of my soul has injected spirituality and vitality into the nearly dissipated Plane Embryo, relying solely on the world will to absorb energy and recover by itself is indeed still a bit too slow..."
"The only benefit is that because the Plane Embryo is nearly dissipated and hidden, it isolates the Great Thousand World and the Outer Realm Demons from coveting this continent."
At this moment, supporting the slightly chubby chin of his fetal body, Xiao Lin couldn't help pondering the changes brought about after he came to this world.
"Fortunately, by utilizing a portion of the Plane Embryo's residual abilities, I can briefly tear open the plane barrier."
"That eyeball with dried bloodstains fished out from the plane torrent actually allowed me to use the world's will to refine a trace of residual chaotic energy, thereby giving birth to the Dou Qi Continent version of the Double Pupils."
As for that Desolate Ancestral Symbol, it was also something Xiao Lin had coincidentally snatched from the plane torrent-a few strands of energy rules from the Tianxuan Continent. With the aid of the plane's will, he evolved them based on memories from his past life, and then casually dropped them above the sky of the Stone Realm.
He hadn't expected it to fuse onto a Shi Clansman's chest bone, which was truly the trickery of fortune.
At this thought, Xiao Lin couldn't help letting out a scoff.
As for how strong its ability was, Xiao Lin guessed that for now, it should be slightly inferior to a real Ancestral Symbol.
However, as his own energy recovered, it would eventually end up much the same, since the energy levels of the two planes were on the same tier.
The only thing that caused Xiao Lin headaches was that whether it was tearing open the plane's heavenly barrier or refining foreign objects, it consumed a considerable portion of origin energy.
Fortunately, his previous integration with the Plane Embryo had activated a portion of its spirituality and energy, thereby supporting him in refining and scattering numerous "treasures."
For Xiao Lin, the most important thing at present was to quickly nurture a new generation of heaven-chosen figures for the continent, creating a golden era belonging to the Dou Qi Continent that would be sufficient to feed back into himself!
Or perhaps...
"Getting closer to the Son of the Plane should also speed up the recovery rate a bit."
"Xiao Yan, heh..."
Recovering his wits, Xiao Lin stretched his somewhat petite body and continued to look toward the Shi Clan.
Seeing that the beautiful woman's hurried plotting still seemed to require some time, and perceiving that she wouldn't make any moves for the time being, Xiao Lin smacked his lips and shifted his gaze away from the Stone Realm with a slight sense of disappointment.
Simultaneously, the [Plane Eye] successively swept across the Yan Clan, Lei Clan, Burning Flame Valley, Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, Ye Clan, and other places, a hint of stirring faintly revealing itself within his eyes.
"I wonder what kind of sparks these dropped otherworldly objects will collide with characters on the Dou Qi Continent..."
"The seeds that have been sown must sprout and grow hard so they can rapidly photosynthesize and produce oxygen for me, heh heh heh!"
Accompanied by Xiao Lin's delightful laughter, his illusory body sat cross-legged atop the chaotic orb of light, once again circulating his mind and taking in all the movements of the continent at a glance.
One of Xiao Lin's current hobbies was the habitual daily overlooking of the entire continent, an activity he never tired of.
In the Central Plains, inside the towering Pill Tower, a pair of youths simultaneously erupted with extremely formidable soul talent, shocking everyone.
In the southeast, a black shadow similarly emitted a melodious "heh heh heh" sound, happily extracting the delicious soul of some unlucky fellow...
In the southwest, amidst the rolling mountains where countless high-tier magical beasts made their habitat, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame was greedily burning the body of a tier 6 magical beast and swallowing the innate flame within its body.
In the northeast, a masked youth burdened by a sea of blood and deep hatred was fleeing at high speed, dodging the endless pursuit of his enemies.
As for the northwest of the continent...
He didn't first go to admire the alluring snake-queen bathing inside the Tagor Desert palace, her seductive red lips parting and closing, nor the enchanting expanse of white faintly visible beneath the water.
Neither did he linger too long over the curvaceous, plump contours inside the Misty Cloud Sect Master's bedchamber.
Instead, he cast his gaze toward an obscure little city in the Jia Ma Empire.
It seemed that a certain existence there could draw the gaze of the Heavenly Dao in the dark...
Xiao Yan!
