After his Dou Qi cultivation broke through to the Dou Zun realm, Xiao Lin did not choose to leave this magma world immediately.
After all, with the Fire Sealing Grand Formation pressing down from above, as long as he didn't cause too much of a stir in this magma world, it would not affect the Jia Nan Academy above.
This happened to be a good place for Xiao Lin to become familiar with his own power.
The Dou Zun realm, compared to the Dou Zong realm, has the greatest difference in that one can already achieve complete mastery over a portion of space.
Although this mastery of space isn't as exaggerated as a Dou Sheng creating a separate realm, it is no longer as simple as the rough application of spatial power found in the Dou Zong realm.
Case in point, while Xiao Lin was familiarizing himself with his power, he casually made a swiping motion in front of him.
Suddenly, a Space Tunnel was opened by Xiao Lin.
Back when Xiao Lin and Zi Yan formed the "world-scourging demon duo," he had been very envious of the other party's ability; now, Xiao Lin could finally use it skillfully as well.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Lin tried to use his control over spatial power to construct a Spatial Wormhole.
However, just as he began constructing the Spatial Wormhole, the Fire Sealing Grand Formation above fluctuated instinctively, scaring Xiao Lin into quickly stopping his movements.
"Uh, it seems this isn't a good place to try building a Spatial Wormhole!"
Wiping the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, Xiao Lin muttered to himself with lingering fear.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Xiao Lin had continued trying to build the Spatial Wormhole just now, the Fire Sealing Grand Formation would likely have collapsed instantly!
After all, the Fire Sealing Grand Formation only has a special effect on the "Fire" element. When facing spatial power, the Fire Sealing Grand Formation is just an ordinary Rank 4 Spirit Array.
The application of spatial power by a Dou Zun expert is enough to tear the Fire Sealing Grand Formation to shreds!
Left with no choice, Xiao Lin could only temporarily give up on that attempt.
But Xiao Lin wasn't in a hurry either.
Regardless, he had already broken through to the Dou Zun realm; was he afraid he wouldn't have a chance to test opening a Spatial Wormhole in the future?
As for Xiao Lin's own combat power, after breaking through to One-Star Dou Zun, if he used all the hidden cards at his disposal, it wouldn't be a problem to go toe-to-toe with a mid-stage Dou Zun.
If Xiao Lin were to fight a mid-stage Dou Zun now, while he might not say he could definitely defeat the opponent, at the very least, maintaining an undefeated status would be no problem.
Setting aside Xiao Lin's One-Star Dou Zun realm for a moment, he still had the boost of being a Rank 4 Spiritual Array Master!
As for Xiao Lin's Soul Power...
That was another surprise!
Why call it a surprise?
Because at the moment Xiao Lin broke through to the Dou Zun realm, his early-stage Heaven Realm soul realm—which hadn't changed since he awakened his past life's memories—underwent a transformation at this very moment!
That's right, today's Xiao Lin, with the help of his Dou Qi cultivation breaking through to the Dou Zun realm, saw his Soul Power also rise by a level, reaching the mid-stage Heaven Realm!
Although this was something that made Xiao Lin feel joyful, he had actually anticipated it somewhat.
After all, never mind Xiao Lin.
When a normal person breaks through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun, their soul realm will also undergo a transformation.
The reason it is said that a simple Heaven Realm soul is difficult to pose a threat to the Dou Zun realm is because after reaching the Dou Zun level.
Most people's souls have experienced a transformation, so they naturally have a certain understanding of Soul Power.
In the original story, Yao Lao could rely on Heaven Realm Soul Power to bring a great boost to Xiao Yan when Xiao Yan's realm was relatively low. But the further things went, the less that boost became!
While a Heaven Realm soul is miraculous, it isn't omnipotent.
Against those below the Dou Zun realm, a Heaven Realm soul indeed possesses a sufficient advantage. But at the Dou Zun realm, this advantage is actually reduced by more than half.
This was the reason why, even after Xiao Lin's Dou Qi cultivation broke through to One-Star Dou Zun and his soul realm also broke through to mid-stage Heaven Realm, he still didn't dare to guarantee he could defeat a mid-stage Dou Zun.
There is a reason why the Dou Zun realm is referred to as "experts" even on the Central Plains continent. Nevertheless, even so, after realizing his soul realm had transformed to the mid-stage Heaven Realm, Xiao Lin was still very happy.
"Mid-stage Heaven Realm Soul Power! If it weren't for my soul directly sublimating to the early-stage Heaven Realm by mistake when I awakened my past life's memories, I reckon I'd have to reach the Dou Sheng realm at the very least to achieve this, right?"
Feeling his powerful Soul Power, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Lin was clearly very satisfied with his opportunity back then. Even if he didn't have the so-called "System" of other traversers, so what? He could still walk a path of invincibility!
Unknowingly, Xiao Lin's state of mind had also undergone a slight change.
Earlier on, Xiao Lin actually only wanted to hide away, survive until the grand finale, and cling to the leg of his grandson, the Flame Emperor, to ascend to the higher realm.
Now, although Xiao Lin still held the thought of clinging to his Flame Emperor grandson's leg, deep in his heart, a change had quietly occurred.
That was: could he himself also lead the Xiao Clan to rise?
As his own strength grew stronger, it was quite normal for Xiao Lin's heart to have this kind of change. Being fellow traversers, who is weaker than whom?
If it weren't for the fact that this damn Dou Qi Continent only had two paths leading to the Dou Di realm.
The high probability that he couldn't walk them—Xiao Lin probably wouldn't have had the idea of clinging to his Flame Emperor grandson's leg from the start.
But people, after all, change.
Xiao Lin was already on the path of changing himself.
In this magma world at the bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, after Xiao Lin spent another three days familiarizing himself with his Dou Zun strength and his mid-stage Heaven Realm Soul Power, he finally decided to leave.
"It's time to leave here, leave Jia Nan Academy, and return to the Xiao Clan. Zhan-er's coming-of-age ceremony should be about three months away, right?"
After muttering to himself, Xiao Lin flew directly beneath the Fire Sealing Grand Formation.
This Fire Sealing Grand Formation was now controlled by Xiao Lin, so he could naturally open or close this formation at any time. However, before leaving, Xiao Lin suddenly couldn't help but look back once more at the magma world below.
As Xiao Lin's gaze swept over, a magma bubble suddenly appeared there.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin just smiled and ignored the creature beneath the magma world.
Pop~
Subsequently, Xiao Lin turned and passed through the Fire Sealing Grand Formation, leaving the magma world. After Xiao Lin left, within the magma world below, the fire python formed by the Fallen Heart Flame emerged once again.
Clearly, before Xiao Lin left, it had been secretly watching from the shadows.
Roar~
After letting out an unwilling roar toward Xiao Lin's disappearing back, the Fallen Heart Flame could only return to the magma world to silently strengthen its own core flame.
For the Fallen Heart Flame, the departure of this "Evil Star" Xiao Lin was a great thing!
In the coming days, it must stay low and develop. Unless its origin grew stronger than it was last time, it would absolutely not cause another riot!
Otherwise, it was afraid it would draw that Evil Star back again, resulting in another beating and having its core flame devoured.
However, the Fallen Heart Flame never imagined in its wildest dreams that the next person to come would be even more ruthless, directly refining it!
Of course, the Fallen Heart Flame could never know this right now.
All it could do now was use the Spirit Gathering Formation within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower to continue developing silently.
