Power Progression

Plane Embryo Restoration

Xiao Lin’s true-body recovery depends on planar-origin energy rather than ordinary Dou Qi cultivation 8 9.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
10% restored	1	Initial documented state. His soul has revived part of the nearly dissipated embryo’s spirituality and energy, enabling him to refine and distribute otherworldly treasures.
15% restored	8	Reached following Xiao Tian’s breakthrough and activation of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.
20% restoration threshold	33	Retrospectively identified as the point at which Plane Extraction awakened. The chapter in which this threshold was crossed is not specified.
28.7% restored	11	Shi Yi’s Double Pupils awakening supplies a major surge of feedback energy. Innate Double Pupils becomes a planar inscription, and the embryo visibly grows.
29.4% restored	33	Displayed immediately before Xiao Lin extracts Xuan Mingzi’s Storage Ring. Each extraction costs 1% plane energy.

Heavenly Dao Avatar Strength

Avatar strength is assigned through planar-energy investment, not necessarily earned through conventional breakthroughs 25.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Seventh Stage of Dou Qi	8	Documented strength of the avatar living among the Xiao Clan’s younger generation. Its modest cultivation conceals Xiao Lin’s true nature.
Approximately Seven- or Eight-Star Dou Wang	25	Strength infused into the avatar accompanying Qing Lin. Supports Dou Qi Wings while keeping the energy expenditure low.
Dou Huang / Dou Emperor	93	Yun Yun detects a solid, steady Dou Emperor aura, markedly stronger than the Dou Wang-level presence she previously encountered. Xiao Lin does not explain the change.

Background / History

Xiao Lin retains memories of a past life and has merged his soul with the Dou Qi Continent’s nearly dissipated Plane Embryo. He associates its weakened condition with a Dou Di battle tens of thousands of years earlier. His integration restores some spirituality and vitality, but passive recovery through the world’s will remains too slow for his purposes 1.

To accelerate restoration, he retrieves objects and energy from the plane torrent, adapts them to the continent, and distributes them as extraordinary opportunities. Their recipients become known as Inheritors. When these recipients develop the powers he bestowed, they return planar-origin energy to him and leave records in the Plane Core 1 9 29.

When Xiao Yan was born, fifteen years before the Xiao Clan’s engagement dispute, Xiao Lin condensed a Heavenly Dao Avatar and integrated into the clan. He also established an avatar in Stone Desert City several years before Qing Lin’s training journey, taking responsibility for her care through his acquaintance with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li 3 24.

Appearance

• True body: An embryonic body within a chaotic orb of light in the continent’s secret planar space. An illusory figure can manifest from the orb 1.
• Xiao Clan avatar: A strikingly handsome youth in blue robes, with brows compared to distant mountains and eyes compared to cold stars 8.
• Stone Desert City avatar: A handsome young man commonly seen in green robes 24 60.
• Eyes: His pupils split into four during his reflection on supreme eye techniques; later passages explicitly describe his rotating Double Pupils 24 28.

Personality

Xiao Lin enjoys observing the continent and treats its unfolding rivalries with playful curiosity. Watching daily events through the Plane Eye is one of his habitual entertainments, and his relaxed behavior often makes him appear idle to people unaware of his nature 1 8.

His generosity serves both personal affection and his restoration plan. He patiently reassures Qing Lin, provides Xiao Yi Xian with resources without taking her cave treasure, and refuses repayment from Yun Yun. Nevertheless, he keeps his identity and information sources concealed, answering questions selectively when they approach his secrets 24 27 29 39.

He favors guided trials over solving every problem himself, allowing Qing Lin to confront stronger snakes while remaining ready to intervene. His tolerance also has limits: he worries about Xiao Zha turning clan members into puppets and stops Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian from poisoning an entire lakeside area 19 25 61.

Abilities & Skills

Plane Eye

A Plane Embryo ability that lets Xiao Lin perceive images and overhear events throughout the plane 1.

• Monitors distant regions, ancient clans, and private conversations without physically visiting them 1 8 10.
• Continues tracking promising individuals after they leave the Xiao Clan 23.

Otherworldly Retrieval and Refinement

Xiao Lin briefly opens the planar barrier to retrieve objects, remains, and energy from the plane torrent, then refines them into forms suited to the Dou Qi Continent 1 8 9.

• Refines residual chaotic energy from a bloodstained eyeball to produce the continent’s version of Double Pupils 1.
• Evolves Tianxuan Continent energy rules into a version of the Desolate Ancestral Symbol, using his past-life memories 1.
• Retrieves remains carrying the Ancient Heavenly Palace inheritance later possessed by Xiao Tian 8.

Heavenly Dao Avatars

• Maintains avatars in both the Xiao Clan and Stone Desert City 3 24.
• Determines their strength through the amount of planar energy invested 25.

• Conceals Xiao Lin, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian together near the poisonous lake 60.

Relationships

• Qing Lin — Ward and student. Years of care make her deeply attached to him; he develops her snake-controlling eyes and supplies her martial soul 24 25 61.
• Xiao Yi Xian — Friend and cultivation protégé. He accepts her dangerous constitution, offers paths to control it, and helps her find resources and opportunities 27 28 29 42.
