Lin Xiao was developing his Exile Domain in a secluded valley.
Three days passed.
However, the improvements were minimal. He felt it was related to his spiritual power, as the activation and application of the Exile Domain heavily relied on soul and spiritual strength.
Instead of working in isolation, it would be better to enhance his spiritual power before continuing his research.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao had already mentioned this to Ye Qingxian.
It was time to take the Autumn Water Piercing Dew...
...
Returning to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, Ye Qingxian beckoned Lin Xiao, and they moved to a quiet spot to talk.
Ye Qingxian's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She had received news today about the emergence of ferocious beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, knowing it would undoubtedly affect the continent's power dynamics. She felt worried.
"Lin Xiao, what level do you think the strength of the ferocious beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest is?"
"Strength level? It's hard to say."
Lin Xiao explained to Ye Qingxian:
"Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts are equivalent to Titled Douluo level powerhouses. Some Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts with powerful bloodlines can even contend with Level 95 Titled Douluo."
"As for ferocious beasts, they are Soul Beasts exceeding 200,000 years. At the very least, they can match Level 95 Titled Douluo, and depending on their bloodline, they fluctuate between Level 95 and Level 98."
"A 700,000-year ferocious beast is equivalent to a human Limit Douluo."
Ye Qingxian's eyebrows tightened.
"Then, concerning the Black Dragon leading the pack that's being rumored about, how strong is it?"
Lin Xiao was silent for a moment before slowly saying:
"From the perspective of existing human powerhouses... it's invincible in this era."
"Even the strongest openly acknowledged powerhouse, Qian Daoliu, is no match for Di Tian. Even with the Angel Divine Sword, he wouldn't be enough. Only within the confines of Spirit City, where Qian Daoliu possesses Demigod-level strength, can he contend."
Or perhaps Bo Saixi, within the range of Sea God Island, could also fight Di Tian.
But that wouldn't be solely based on her own power.
Instead, it would rely on the power of the Divine Artifacts she held as the Great Enshrinement.
Di Tian is a genuine Pureblood True Dragon, and his Dragon God Claw was personally bestowed by the Dragon God, making it incredibly formidable.
Ye Qingxian was astonished.
"That strong?"
Lin Xiao gave a wry smile.
"While it's said that Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts correspond to Titled Douluo and 200,000-year ferocious beasts correspond to Super Douluo, the physical bodies of Soul Beasts are far stronger than those of humans. If it were a one-on-one fight, Titled Douluo of the same level would be easily slaughtered. Only the top Titled Douluo, like the Clear Sky Sect's ancestor Tang Chen, Spirit Hall's Great Enshrinement Qian Daoliu, and even Clear Sky Douluo, Spirit Hall's Pope, and the sword dao master Chen Xin, could suppress them or have a chance to fight."
Ye Qingxian couldn't help but worry.
"If the ferocious beasts are this strong... what should we do?"
She wasn't an ignorant woman; she understood that with such strength, the ferocious beasts posed a significant threat to humanity.
Lin Xiao comforted her.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ye. Although the ferocious beasts are strong, their cultivation is not easy. Humans have an absolute advantage in numbers. These limited ferocious beasts represent the culmination of tens of thousands of years of soul beast heritage."
"Compared to humans, they fear sacrifice more."
"It's undeniable that the top-tier combat power of ferocious beasts is stronger; however, in terms of overall strength, humanity is still superior. It's just that when the ferocious beasts band together in the Star Dou Great Forest, humans can't do anything about them."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxian finally felt a bit more at ease.
Lin Xiao suddenly found Aunt Ye rather endearing.
The woman who was as steady as an eagle sometimes needed a pillar of support.
Ye Qingxian sighed lightly.
"The world is becoming more chaotic."
"It's a pity I'm only a support-type Soul Master..."
Lin Xiao blinked and chuckled.
"Aunt Ye, is it just me, or does it sound like you wish you were a Battle Soul Master, so you could charge into battle and slaughter them all?"
Ye Qingxian rolled her eyes.
"The world is always changing. If you don't adapt, you'll be forgotten or eliminated by the times!"
"You've grown up and become more opinionated. Tell me, what are your plans?"
Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Aunt Ye, I plan to create a force."
"After all, I'm only one person and can't be everywhere at once to protect you all. Besides, even the ferocious beasts know to band together, it seems too primitive for me to still be fighting alone."
Ye Qingxian asked in surprise, "Are you serious?"
Lin Xiao nodded heavily.
"The name of the faction... it will be Phoenix Pavilion."
Lin Xiao was terrible at naming things. After thinking long and hard, he irritably realized that he actually quite liked the name "Spirit Hall."
Spirit Hall had stolen his idea a thousand years in advance!
Originally, Lin Xiao wanted to name it Soul Hall.
After all, it sounded powerful, exuding the aura of a big boss.
But Feng Yu vetoed it in the end, haughtily declaring:
"What Soul Hall? It's Phoenix Pavilion!"
"From now on, this will be a super faction that will tread the Silver Dragon King under its feet!"
However, Lin Xiao decided to reveal some things to Ye Qingxian.
Lin Xiao was establishing Phoenix Pavilion and planned to recruit both human powerhouses and soul beast powerhouses, which would help promote peaceful coexistence between humans and soul beasts in the future.
Of course, this wouldn't be revealed prematurely.
Only when the time was right would it be disclosed.
Until then, members like Ah Yin and Xiao Wu would only have codenames and their identities would not be revealed.
While these matters could be kept from others, there was no need to hide them from Ye Qingxian. Lin Xiao also needed an intelligent person who knew the core secrets to help him manage things.
After hearing Lin Xiao's thoughts, Ye Qingxian couldn't help but be astonished:
"To make humans and soul beasts coexist peacefully? Lin Xiao, your idea is truly..."
After a long pause, Ye Qingxian finally said:
"Too earth-shattering."
She didn't know if Lin Xiao was just being youthful and impulsive, thinking something was great and throwing himself into it wholeheartedly.
But as an elder, Ye Qingxian had to remind Lin Xiao:
"First, why should soul beasts listen to you? Why should they trust you?"
"Second, how will you explain this to the human side?"
"Third, you need to possess enough strength to make decisions unilaterally."
If things truly went according to Lin Xiao's vision, then whether Lin Xiao wanted it or not, he would undoubtedly be the "Great Emperor," effectively becoming the "Emperor" of both soul beasts and humans.
This was not something Emperor Xue Ye or Emperor Star Luo could compare to!
Lin Xiao chuckled and said:
"Great Emperor and all that? I'm just not refusing anyone."
"As for the soul beasts, I have my own methods; and for human powerhouses, my plan is to cultivate them personally."
This was unavoidable. The titled Douluo with known names were either in the major sects or completely monopolized by Spirit Hall.
Seeing that Lin Xiao had considered everything, Ye Qingxian didn't say anything more.
She simply asked, "When?"
This was asking Lin Xiao when he would start establishing Phoenix Pavilion.
"Now!"
Lin Xiao took out a specially made token from his embrace. It was engraved with ancient and mysterious patterns that could record the user's spiritual imprint, ensuring that the token could only be used by its owner.
"Aunt Ye, input your spiritual power into it."
"From now on, only you can activate it."
Ye Qingxian took the token and saw the character "Immortal" engraved on the front. Her face flushed slightly, but she suppressed it, not letting Lin Xiao notice.
She inputted her spiritual power, and the token immediately grew warm.
The crimson phoenix pattern on the back instantly lit up, lifelike, as if it were about to soar away at any moment.
