Chapter 212: Add Points! Breakthrough to Dou Ancestor

Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Lin Xiu spent most of his time at the Misty Cloud Sect.

He took some time to visit sects in the surrounding three empires.

Without much effort, Lin Xiu obtained what he wanted from these sects.

Whether it was the Poison Sect, the Gold Geese Sect, or Mulan Valley, they all initially resisted. However, the disparity in strength between them and Lin Xiu was too great, and after a few blows, they gave up.

The three sects didn't have many valuable items, so Lin Xiu only took a few Black Rank High-Level Qi Methods and Dou Techniques, as well as some Earth Rank Low-Level Dou Techniques and Qi Methods.

Compared to the Misty Cloud Sect, these three sects were quite impoverished.

"That's it for today. In the next few days, I plan to go into seclusion, so you all can take a rest."

On Misty Cloud Mountain, Lin Xiu distanced himself from two figures.

The two were Medusa and Yun Yun.

Having not heard from Lin Xiu for a while, Medusa mistakenly thought he had left with Xiao Yan and others to return to Jia Nan Academy, so she appeared on her own.

However, as soon as she showed up, her presence was detected by Lin Xiu. Realizing something was wrong, Medusa tried to flee but was easily caught by Lin Xiu.

In the days that followed, she almost acted like Yun Yun, obediently accompanying Lin Xiu in his cultivation at his command.

The difference was that Yun Yun was deeply immersed in the process of sparring with Lin Xiu. She seized almost every opportunity to become stronger.

During this time at the Misty Cloud Sect, under her management, many disciples had already left the mountain.

The current Misty Cloud Sect is far from its former glory and is somewhat desolate.

In Yun Yun's own words, she cannot guarantee the safety of these disciples against Xiao Yan's revenge.

So, she does not stop those who wish to leave.

"I heard you are planning to go to the Central Plains. Can you take me with you?" Yun Yun asked.

Turning around, Lin Xiu frowned slightly. "You want to go to the Central Plains? Doesn't the Misty Cloud Sect still need you?"

"Without sufficient strength, the Misty Cloud Sect is just a target for someone's revenge. If I were strong enough, wherever I am, the Misty Cloud Sect would be."

The harsh reality made Yun Yun's lips involuntarily curl into a bitter smile as she spoke.

The Misty Cloud Mountain holds her precious memories; how could she simply let go?

But without strength, staying here would not protect it.

"Alright."

Slightly stunned, Lin Xiu did not expect that the Misty Cloud Sect had still been disbanded in the end.

"This Queen won't go to the Central Plains."

Sensing the gaze, Medusa firmly declared with a resolute attitude.

In a place like the Central Plains, even a Dou Ancestor isn't considered a true powerhouse. Going there would not compare to the freedom and dominance she enjoyed in the Snake People Tribe.

"You'll change your mind later."

Lin Xiu smiled and then ignored the two, heading straight to his residence to prepare for seclusion.

With the realm experience now complete, the only thing needed for a breakthrough to Dou Ancestor was Attribute Points.

Fortunately, with the help of Medusa and Yun Yun, he had finally gathered enough.

[Realm: 9 Star Dou Emperor (2600000/2600000)]

[Space: Mastery Progress 4% (Reach 5% to formally enter Dou Ancestor)]

His gaze focused slightly as a line of text appeared before him.

As soon as the realm experience was sufficient, the definition of "space" had emerged.

On the Dou Qi Continent, the biggest difference between a Dou Ancestor and a Dou Emperor is the preliminary mastery of spatial control abilities.

To be precise, this should be considered a form of comprehension.

Only by truly controlling space can one stand in the void without relying on Dou Qi wings.

Lin Xiu realized that his realm could not advance and, combined with the hint, understood that to break through to Dou Ancestor, he must meet the requirement of mastering spatial control.

This is similar to how each time he wants to improve his Aptitude, he needs to pair it with Magic Beast blood.

Space has always been an intangible and elusive concept.

Gaining comprehension of this is not an ordinary difficulty.

Without a certain level of talent or an opportunity, many have been stuck at the peak of Dou Emperor for decades.

From Headmaster Hu Gan and the Jia Ma royalty Jia Xing Tian, Lin Xiu noticed this.

"Fortunately, I'm not reliant on comprehension. There's nothing that can stop my realm breakthrough."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiu decisively allocated all 100 accumulated Attribute Points to "Space."

[Space: Mastery Progress 5%]

The text before him flickered as the characters changed.

A hint of joy flashed across his face.

Just as Lin Xiu was about to smile, a flood of information surged into his mind, with many insights about space pouring in like a tidal wave.

These insights were quite chaotic and fragmented, containing various aspects such as spatial transfer and sealing.

However, perhaps due to the low mastery progress, Lin Xiu found that most of the information was fleeting, and when he tried to recall it, it was very vague and difficult to remember.

What he could retain were only some basic methods of use, such as walking in the void.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. It's all in my mind, and with more Attribute Points in the future, I'm sure I'll remember it."

Lin Xiu comforted himself, rubbing his temples with his hands to alleviate the slightly swollen feeling in his forehead.

"The insights into space seem to offer me more than just a breakthrough to Dou Ancestor."

Lin Xiu furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze fixed on the void ahead. Then, a few black cracks appeared in that area, as if a realistic painting had been torn apart.

"As long as I focus my Spirit, I can see the lines of this world."

He was somewhat surprised.

If things continue like this and he fully masters spatial control, future challenges such as the boundaries of the eight great clans, spatial locks in certain ruins, or even space seals similar to the Academy's Scripture Pavilion might become insignificant to him.

Being able to see the lines clearly is essentially about unraveling chaotic threads and finding a path inside.

"This is quite good; Burning Flame Valley is situated within a spatial barrier."

Originally worried about not finding the entrance upon arrival, Lin Xiu now breathed a sigh of relief.

He gathered his focus, and the Earth Rank High-Level "Multiple Great Essence Method" within him began to operate at high speed.

Endless Dou Qi continuously poured into his body, impacting the nebula in his Dantian.

The rotating nebula became increasingly solid, with droplets of liquid continuously forming and falling.

These liquids gathered together, hinting at the formation of a Magic core with an initial outline visible.

The only difference was that this Magic core was at least three times larger than a typical Sixth Rank Magic Beast.

Lin Xiu, who was focused on his breakthrough, was unaware of the external situation.

As his Qi Method operated fully, the clouds within a thousand miles of the Misty Cloud Sect began to roll and gather above the Misty Cloud Sect.

The immense Dou Qi energy, pulled by this force, formed a funnel, continuously dripping liquid.

This location was directly above where Lin Xiu was in seclusion.

"Such a strong energy fluctuation, is he about to break through to Dou Ancestor?"

Looking at the phenomenon in the sky, Yun Yun's face was filled with shock.

"Impossible! How could he break through to Dou Ancestor?!"

Medusa could not accept Yun Yun's guess at all. She knew the time it took for Lin Xiu to break through to Dou Emperor, and up until now, it had been less than two years.

Less than two years, from Dou Emperor to Dou Ancestor—what kind of concept is that?!
