Chapter 168: Chapter 168: 1 Star Dou Emperor!
Half a month later.
[You cultivated, Realm Experience +198]
[Your realm has been enhanced! Gain 1 Attribute Point!]
In the cultivation room, Lin Xiu glanced at the prompt, stood up, and stretched lazily.
As his body stretched, it made crackling sounds.
[Realm: 8 Star Dou King (0.1k/660k)]
"No wonder so many people like to cheat, it feels great!"
Lin Xiu was very satisfied with the current speed of his advancement. With the Fallen Heart Flame paired with the panel, it was simply a perfect match.
With the panel, there was no need to worry about bottlenecks at all.
Fallen Heart Flame constantly refines Dou Qi, greatly increasing the benefits brought by the Qi Method.
"The pills given to me by the Academy haven't been used yet. If I take them now, can't I directly breakthrough to 9 Stars?"
Being able to save a month of cultivation in one go, Lin Xiu was certainly willing.
Once he reached 9 Star Dou King, he could start attempting a breakthrough to Dou Emperor.
He didn't rush to take the medicine, instead opting to seclude himself for half a month and then prepare for a brief rest.
Stepping out of the cultivation room, Lin Xiu headed to the bottom of the tower.
A significant portion of the Fallen Heart Flame was located beneath the cave entrance, quietly absorbing Flame Energy and emitting its own power.
Although the threat of Fallen Heart Flame had disappeared, the Academy still arranged for two elders to guard it.
Upon seeing Lin Xiu, the two elders warmly greeted him.
After respectfully returning the greeting, Lin Xiu's feet lit up with lightning, and his figure dashed into the Magma World below.
"Haven't seen him for half a month, it seems like Lin Xiu's strength has improved again."
The elder in grey clothes exclaimed.
To have such rapid progress even after entering the Dou King realm, it had never been seen before in the Academy.
"I reckon he must have used the Dou Spirit Pill."
The white-haired elder next to him licked his cracked lips, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Dou Spirit Pill is a Sixth Grade Pill. After consumption, it can directly elevate the realm of a Dou King by one level.
The difficulty of refining this kind of pill is very high, and the Academy only had some leftover stock because the only alchemist, Elder Huo, has yet to break through to Sixth Grade Alchemist.
One less means one less.
So, generally, only those who have made significant contributions would receive a Dou Spirit Pill.
Elders like them haven't had access to it for many years.
"I think the Grand Elder might be planning to groom Lin Xiu as his successor."
The elder in grey clothes hadn't seen the Grand Elder being so proactive towards a junior in a long time.
"Well, I suppose it's still up in the air. Lin Xiu's contributions aren't enough to make the other old folks completely approve of him yet. Unless there's another major event like the Fallen Heart Flame incident, he still has to endure."
The white-haired elder shook his head gently, not too optimistic.
"What if he takes care of those people from the Black-Corner Region?"
The elder in grey clothes looked at him. "The Academy said they're going to deal with Han Feng and his people, but with the Grand Elder presiding over the inner courtyard and Hu Gan overseeing the outer courtyard, it's difficult to retaliate with just a few elders led by Elder Wang and some students."
In recent years, the Academy has been in decline, and many powerful elders are stationed all over, unable to free themselves up.
Even if the Academy wants to retaliate against Han Feng and his group, it's unlikely to be effective in the short term.
At times like these, there's a great need for someone with powerful abilities to lead the way.
"Do you think Lin Xiu can do it?" The white-haired elder looked surprised.
The elder in grey clothes said, "The day Lin Xiu sent Han Feng flying and killed Fan Lao, everyone saw it. With him involved, Black-Corner Region, Eight Gates, and Ground Fire Sect wouldn't be able to stop us."
The white-haired elder remained silent.
Led by Han Feng, launching a large-scale attack on the Academy was something the Academy couldn't swallow.
But to initiate an attack themselves, they had to consider the risk of being robbed while their guard was down.
Unless those forces gathered together, the Grand Elder wouldn't easily mobilize.
And trying to force them to that point through students and some elders with Dou King strength would be difficult.
Because that day, many leaders of those forces were Dou Emperor level.
For example, Yuan Yi, the leader of Eight Gates, was a Dou Emperor, a strong figure ranked high on the blacklist.
"I heard that Fan Lao's Dou Qi happened to be countered by the Heavenly Flame, and Lin Xiu succeeded with the help of Fallen Heart Flame's fire."
The white-haired elder hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Also, if Lin Xiu had such intentions, he would have acted already. The fact that he's still at the Academy suggests he might not be confident."
"There's definitely danger. Just a few days ago when I was resting, I saw Old Li injured."
The elder in grey clothes exhaled heavily, "Those people from the Black-Corner Region aren't good news. They employ all sorts of methods, and recently, many have suffered losses."
After chatting for a while, they stopped when they saw Lin Xiu returning.
After exchanging greetings with the two, Lin Xiu went upstairs.
Xiao Yan was still devouring the Fallen Heart Flame, and it would probably take some time to finish.
"I haven't found the Flame Mantra, it might be in Yao Chen's ring. Maybe I can start from there."
Lin Xiu wasn't lacking in Qi Methods, but he was interested in the aspect of evolving with the Flame Mantra.
Because he knew where the Heavenly Flames were, and he also had the Fallen Heart Flame.
Getting the Flame Mantra and raising it to Earth Rank High level shouldn't be a big problem.
This way, with just two Earth Rank High level Qi Methods, it would be possible to merge them into a Heaven Rank Qi Method.
"In the future, ascending to Dou God, the Origin Qi is a prerequisite. Although I have the panel, I don't know if it can ignore this requirement. It wouldn't hurt to prepare in advance."
Lin Xiu remembered that obtaining the Flame Mantra was one of the prerequisites for receiving the inheritance from the Ancient Emperor Tuo Shi.
And that inheritance was one of the only two in this world that possessed the Origin Qi.
Returning to his residence, Lin Xiu learned from Lin Dun that Lin Xiu Ya, Yan Hao, Han Yue, and Zi Yan had all gone out.
For this revenge operation against the Black-Corner Region, the Academy had offered many rewards, and those with some strength in the inner courtyard were actively participating.
Lin Xiu also found out that they had already collected several of the medicinal ingredients for the Spirit Fusion Pill, and they were only lacking the last one to complete the collection.
This was undoubtedly good news.
After resting for a day in the courtyard, Lin Xiu enjoyed some food and then entered the Qi Refining Tower to cultivate.
Back in the cultivation room, Lin Xiu took out a pill, "Let's see its effect."
It was his first time taking a pill that could help break through realms, so he was curious.
Would it instantly add over six hundred thousand experience points?
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth.
A cool liquid flowed down his throat, sinking into his abdomen, spreading a chill throughout his body.
Then, a surging energy emerged.
On the panel, prompts kept flashing as his realm experience rapidly increased.
"It will probably take about two days to fully digest the medicine."
After a rough calculation, Lin Xiu focused his attention on refining Dou Techniques.
Attribute Points were extremely insufficient now.
He was about to break through to Dou Emperor, and his Rank 6 Physique was not even full.
When he ascended to Dou Emperor, his Physique could advance to Rank 7, requiring a significant number of Attribute Points.
Time quietly passed by.
Over a month later.
On the Black Stone Platform, Lin Xiu sat cross-legged. Suddenly, his robe bulged as if filled with a large amount of gas.
Dou Qi permeated his entire body.
In the cultivation room, a large amount of deep red energy rushed towards Lin Xiu's body at a visible speed.
For a long time.
The energy in the cultivation room became thin, and Lin Xiu's swollen robe returned to his skin.
[Your realm has been enhanced! Gain 1 Attribute Point!]
[Realm: 1 Star Dou Emperor (0.1k/1000k)]
"Dou Emperor!"
Opening his eyes, a hint of joy flashed in Lin Xiu's eyes.
At this moment, he could finally truly be called a strong person.
In this remote corner of the Northwest Territory, a Dou Emperor was enough to establish a sect and dominate the area.
