"You are the luckiest one," Qi Tian said irritably. "You've been recognized by the will of heaven and earth before even entering the Divine Realm. Using your spiritual energy won't attract their attention."
"Recognized?"
"What do you think that dragon in your dantian is?" Qi Tian retorted.
"It's... that?"
Lin Xiao finally understood. No wonder everyone thought he had a key after acquiring it. Was this the so-called recognition of the power of heaven and earth?
"Jian Chen'an wants to enter the Divine Realm too badly. He overlooked this matter. Therefore, his future progress in the Divine Realm will naturally be slower than Wu Zongshen's," Qi Tian commented. "Of course, as members of the Misty Immortal Palace, they have always practiced how to use the spiritual energy within them, so they are a bit better than others."
"Furthermore..."
Qi Tian stared at Wu Zongshen. "Perhaps he has other intentions."
"As the senior disciple, he wants to pave the way for more disciples," Lin Xiao said at this moment. "That's how I feel."
"Perhaps."
Just perhaps.
Qi Tian didn't quite believe this possibility, but he didn't rule it out either.
"Alright, the exercise is over. Let's head back," Wu Zongshen said to Jian Chen'an.
"Yes, Senior Brother."
Even after entering the Divine Realm, Jian Chen'an still treated Wu Zongshen with respect. In his heart, Wu Zongshen was his eternal Senior Brother.
When Wu Zongshen returned to his team, his junior disciples immediately gathered around.
"Senior Brother!"
"Return to formation."
Wu Zongshen looked at Lin Xiao and Qi Tian in the distance, then said, "We are still in a team now, so we must abide by the rules of the Northern Border."
"Yes."
The Senior Brother's words carried more weight than the squad leader's.
The squad leader frowned but said nothing more. Seeing that everyone had returned to formation, he began to organize them, awaiting inspection.
Since Lin Xiao was here, he naturally had to inspect them. After all, it was his own Dragon King Army, and they hadn't returned for a long time. He needed a thorough inspection to see if any hidden dangers had been left behind in his absence.
They couldn't be perfect against puppets in the Divine Realm, but against those below the Divine Realm, they needed to be invincible.
After observing the exercise, all the soldiers had maintained high standards for themselves. They had indeed improved significantly compared to when he had left.
Their progress was even greater than he had imagined.
Lin Xiao stood up. At this moment, he was like a different person compared to when he was in Shashi.
Qi Tian clearly felt a subtle, almost imperceptible aura unfolding.
"Good heavens..."
Qi Tian looked at Lin Xiao's back. Lin Xiao had actually evolved his nascent domain to this extent in these past few days.
This was no longer a nascent domain, but a tangible one.
And the scope of this domain instantly enveloped the entire Dragon King Army!
The entire training ground, all thirty thousand soldiers, were encompassed within it!
All the soldiers covered by the domain, including the disciples of the Misty Immortal Palace, felt their blood surge.
"Brothers!"
"You've worked hard!"
Lin Xiao's voice resounded throughout the entire field.
"Serve the people!"
The response Lin Xiao received echoed through heaven and earth, as if in understanding, instantly shattering the low, somber clouds in the sky!
Lin Xiao's eyes brightened.
