However, everything has two sides. This seemingly slow cultivation process actually laid a more solid foundation for her.

Just like the deeper and more solid the foundation of a building is, the higher it can support in the future, this solid foundation will help her reach a higher ceiling in her future cultivation.

Of course, in order to lay a solid foundation, Yao Chen asked Qing Lin to refine her cultivation in each realm to a level close to perfection, which did slow down her breakthrough, but this was only compared to perverted monsters like Xiao Ling and Xiao Yixian.

Back then, Qinglin was just an ignorant girl with no Dou Qi cultivation. However, in just a few years, she broke through and grew into the Dou Zun powerhouse she is today.

If such an amazing speed of cultivation were placed in the outside world, it would absolutely be amazing and legendary, enough to make countless practitioners fall far behind and feel inferior.

It's just that she is surrounded by people like Xiao Ling who are equally talented and powerful, which makes her brilliance a little obscured to a certain extent.

When Qinglin heard Xiao Ling's praise, her emerald eyes lit up instantly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing two shallow dimples, her face was full of uncontrollable joy and pride, and her already pretty face was even more charming.

She lowered her head slightly and said in a clear and pleasant voice with a hint of shyness and satisfaction:

"As long as the young master can be satisfied, Qinglin will be happy. In the future, Qinglin will work harder to cultivate and live up to the young master's expectations."

"Hey, girl, I don't know who you learned this temper from." Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes full of pampering. He reached out and gently rubbed Qinglin's little head, his fingers stroked Qinglin's smooth forehead, and smiled with some intimacy.

Qinglin tilted her head slightly, enjoying this rare moment of intimacy. She looked like a docile and well-behaved little snake girl, so adorable.

Xiao Yixiang and Medusa, who were standing beside them, naturally also saw the intimate interaction between Xiao Ling and Qing Lin.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at the scene, her lips slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile, then she chuckled and naturally looked away.

But Medusa was different. The moment she saw that scene, an indescribable sadness quietly spread in her heart, and then envy surged into her heart like a tide.

Somehow, an inexplicable desire suddenly emerged in my heart to replace Qinglin and stand beside Xiao Ling to enjoy such an intimate feeling.

But Medusa still let her reason take over. As soon as she realized this thought came to her mind, she was startled and quickly forced herself to suppress it.

She was secretly upset and thought to herself, "Damn it, why would I have such an idea? It must be the sequelae of the little Sky-Swallowing Python's soul that are causing trouble. This is really ridiculous."

As she thought about it, she frowned slightly, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across her face. She tried hard to restore herself to her usual cold and noble appearance, trying to completely bury the inappropriate emotions that had just occurred.

At this moment, a slight ripple appeared in the void, and then Zi Yan's figure slowly walked out from it and landed steadily in front of Xiao Ling and the other four.

She was seen holding a few scrolls in her hands, a proud and cheerful smile on her face. Her big eyes were sparkling as she looked at Xiao Ling and the others with a smile, as if she was waiting for everyone's praise.

"Hehe, these things were brought by me." Zi Yan raised her chin, her words full of pride.

However, after a pause, she pouted unconsciously, and her originally joyful tone was filled with a hint of disappointment, and she muttered:

"It's a pity that there are no heaven-level fighting skills in here. The highest level is only the advanced earth level. I thought that a figure like the Fighting Saint should have left behind a lot of good things, but it seems that it is still a little lacking."

After saying this, he sighed softly, as if he was not very satisfied with this harvest.

“Okay, girl, don’t be so ungrateful. It’s not so easy to obtain heavenly-level martial arts and fighting skills. If they could be found casually, there wouldn’t be so many people on this Douqi Continent flocking to them and yearning for them.” Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn’t help but chuckle, and his words revealed a bit of helplessness.

As he spoke, he gently raised his hand and a gentle force instantly surged out, slowly extending to Zi Yan's arms, lightly lifting up the scrolls and steadily delivering them to Xiao Ling, where they floated in the air, emitting a faint light.

Then, Xiao Ling glanced lightly, and his spiritual consciousness quietly probed out, exploring the general situation recorded on the scrolls floating in the air one by one.

I saw that most of these scrolls recorded some high-level earth-level martial arts and fighting skills, which were priceless.

In addition, there are some records about other secret arts. Those secret arts are quite rare and each has its own wonders.

As expected, the method of refining a combat puppet was also presented on one of the scrolls. It was a pity that Xiao Diao was out traveling and was not around, otherwise Xiao Ling would have liked to discuss it with him.

"Xiao Ling, the Fighting Saint's skeleton seems to have reacted!" At this moment, the voice of the Little Medical Fairy suddenly sounded from the side. There was a hint of surprise and confusion in the clear voice, which instantly broke the slightly calm atmosphere at the moment.

When everyone heard this, they all looked over. They saw that the Dou Sheng's skeleton, which had been sitting high on the main seat, seemed to have triggered some kind of switch at this moment, and a vague regret slowly revived from the skeleton that had experienced the vicissitudes of time.

Looking inside the skeleton's empty eye sockets, which were originally dead silent, a little light began to condense. The light flickered and swayed, looking particularly strange.

After all, this powerful Fighting Saint has been dead for many years, and the erosion of time has long left no trace of vitality in his body. Even if his remnant shows signs of revival at this moment, it is not easy to make this body that is like a dry skeleton move quickly.

If there is no special material to support it, it would be impossible to do it just relying on that wisp of remnant thought.

"Don't worry, it's just that the Fighting Saint's skeleton has moved a little bit."

Xiao Ling had a calm expression, without any panic in his eyes. He was not particularly nervous about the sudden situation before him.

After all, he had anticipated this and knew clearly how to deal with this situation.

"I will have the Heavenly Demon Puppet interrupt its revival later. As long as we do this, we can rest assured."

Chapter 528 The Great Fortune Palm

Xiao Ling knew very well that the space surrounding the skeleton must have been left as a backup plan by the Saint of Creation.

Once someone approaches this place, the backup plan will be activated instantly, with the purpose of sucking the blood of living people.

As long as the blood is successfully absorbed, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint will be revived immediately.

At that time, the difficulty of dealing with it will inevitably increase exponentially.

Even if this skeleton was really resurrected, relying on the remaining power of the Saint of Creation, it would be difficult for it to exert much of its own strength.

With the current strength of Xiao Ling and his companions, if they can concentrate all their attention and focus on dealing with the situation, normally they should not encounter too much danger.

However, this is, after all, a method left behind by a powerful Fighting Saint, so it should not be underestimated.

Even though Xiao Ling had enough confidence, he was not yet to the point where he would give it a try and put himself in danger.

After Xiao Ling gave an order calmly, he waved his arm lightly, and a celestial demon puppet emitting brilliant golden light instantly jumped out from his storage ring.

Immediately afterwards, under the control of Xiao Ling's mind, this Heavenly Demon Puppet was like an arrow shot from a bow, rushing straight towards the direction where the Fighting Saint skeleton was, and it had swept a distance in the blink of an eye.

Under the expectant gaze of Xiao Ling and the others, they saw that the Heavenly Demon Puppet was about to reach the front of the Fighting Saint's Skeleton. At this moment, the space in front of the Fighting Saint's Skeleton suddenly twisted, as if a mysterious and powerful force was surging in the dark.

A series of faint lights of forbidden light flashed out, instantly enveloping the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

The Sky Demon Puppet, which was originally rushing forward, suddenly stopped, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. No matter how Xiao Ling tried to control it with his mind, it didn't move at all. Even when he wanted to put it back into the ring, he couldn't do it.

Noticing this situation, Xiao Ling couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of realization flashed across his eyes.

Obviously, judging from the various signs shown in the space around the skeleton, its revival has probably been going on for some time, but it is only becoming more obvious at this moment.

As expected, the methods left behind by this Dou Sheng powerful man during his lifetime should not be underestimated, and they are full of unfathomable mysteries.

The restrictions set up in the surrounding space alone have such powerful force. If the Heavenly Demon Puppet was replaced by any other Dou Zun strongman, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on that place, they heard a few crisp "crackling" sounds, and the void began to slightly twist again. The twisting force actually spread wildly towards the Heavenly Demon Puppet.

I saw the right hand of the Sky Demon Puppet stretched forward. Under the distortion of the space, cracks began to appear on the flexible metal shell, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web.

Immediately afterwards, his entire right hand was twisted and broken under the powerful twisting force, and some parts fell off with a clang, which sounded particularly harsh in this silent and tense space.

"Xiao Ling, this Heavenly Demon Puppet seems to be about to collapse, and the abnormal movements of the Fighting Saint Skeleton are becoming more and more obvious. What should we do now?"

Zi Yan, who was standing by, saw this pessimistic situation and a look of worry appeared on her pretty face. She hurriedly asked Xiao Ling, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in her words.

The other three women also turned their eyes to Xiao Ling, with a hint of inquiry in their gazes.

After all, here, Xiao Ling knows the surrounding situation best and is the decision-maker among the few people. In this situation, of course, we have to follow his arrangements.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling chuckled with a relaxed look and said loudly:

"Don't worry. Although that Dou Sheng did leave some tricks behind, they can only work on puppets at the Dou Zun level. We only need to send out more powerful Heavenly Demon Puppets. Even the tricks left by the Dou Sheng will be powerless against them."

Having said that, Xiao Ling still sighed slightly, shook his head gently, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes, and whispered to himself:

"Hey, I didn't plan to use this guy so early. After all, its existence is a trump card. But now the situation is really urgent. In order to avoid more unnecessary troubles later, I have no choice but to use it."

After saying that, Xiao Ling slowly raised his finger and lightly touched the ring. In an instant, a dazzling stream of light flashed, brilliant and eye-catching.

Immediately afterwards, a puppet emitting a mysterious purple-gold light appeared directly in front of Xiao Ling.

The puppet was tall and mighty, with purple-gold light flowing all over its body. Every joint and every piece of armor seemed to have been carefully carved, revealing an ultimate craftsmanship and beauty, while also exuding a powerful aura that should not be underestimated.

The murderous aura emanating from its body made the temperature of the surrounding area seem to drop a few degrees, as if the air around it became heavier just by standing there, making people know clearly that this was no ordinary thing.

"Hey, this is also a puppet. It looks somewhat similar to the previous Heavenly Demon Puppet, but it looks much more majestic and domineering." Zi Yan responded softly, and a look of interest instantly appeared in her lively big eyes. She looked back and forth at the Heavenly Demon Puppet summoned by Xiao Ling.

Not to mention anything else, just the purple-colored appearance of this Heavenly Demon Puppet really made Zi Yan feel very pleasing to the eye.

"This is not an ordinary Heavenly Demon Puppet, but a Heavenly Demon Puppet that has reached the semi-saint level. It has been carefully tempered with a lot of thunder power. I only have one Heavenly Demon Puppet of this level." Xiao Ling chuckled and patiently explained to Zi Yan.

After that, he waved his finger lightly, pointing directly to the location of the Fighting Saint's skeleton. His expression became serious, and he ordered in a steady and decisive tone:

"Go ahead, head straight for the Fighting Saint's skeleton, and tear it apart for me. No matter what, you must not allow the will within it to revive."

Following Xiao Ling's order, the purple-gold Heavenly Demon Puppet instantly turned into a purple light, like a lightning that cuts through the void, and rushed straight towards the place where the Fighting Saint's skeleton was.

Its speed was so fast that it caused a whistling sound, as if the air around it was being torn apart.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Demon Puppet crossed half the distance of the square and slammed heavily into the transparent space barrier surrounding the skeleton of the Fighting Saint.

"boom--"

There was only a deafening bang, as if thunder suddenly exploded in this enclosed space, making everyone's eardrums buzz.

A blinding light suddenly burst out from the point of collision, and the light splashed wildly in all directions like a surging wave. Visible energy ripples, centered on the point of collision, quickly spread out in all directions.

Wherever the energy ripples passed, the ground shook slightly, and some fine sand and gravel were directly blown into the air and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

However, although the space barrier showed some cracks under such a violent impact, it did not break. It still stood there stubbornly, blocking the progress of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, as if it was competing with this powerful Heavenly Demon Puppet and refused to give in easily.

But after all, it is a Heavenly Demon Puppet that has reached the semi-saint level, so how could it be easily blocked by this space barrier? It is naturally not a vegetarian character.

Just as everyone was watching intently, the situation soon changed again.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, a clear and piercing sound was heard, and a strong wind blew out. Dense cracks began to appear on the seemingly indestructible transparent space barrier. Those cracks were like hideous spider webs, spreading rapidly in all directions.

As the crack continued to extend and expand, in the end, the space barrier could not bear the weight anymore. With an even louder "click" sound, it suddenly exploded, and fragments flew around, turning into sparkling light and dissipating into the air.

"Beep!"

The fierce collision between the Sky Demon Puppet and the space barrier generated a powerful force that made it retreat repeatedly. Every step it took was like a sledgehammer hitting the ground, leaving a pitch-black footprint on the ground. There were also faint energy fluctuations dissipating around the footprint.

And when its last step landed heavily, the Heavenly Demon Puppet's body suddenly stabilized, and then it rushed forward again like an arrow from a bow, at such a fast speed that it brought up a whistling sound of the wind, making people feel dizzy.

This time, it actually rushed straight to the remains of the Fighting Saint without any hesitation or pause. Then it suddenly raised its fist high, and with tremendous force, it punched fiercely at the remains of the Fighting Saint. The wind from the fist was whistling, as if it wanted to crush all the air around it. Its momentum was extremely terrifying.

On the main seat, from the moment the purple-gold puppet appeared, the skeleton of the Fighting Saint seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve and kept making crackling sounds.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in this silent and tense space, as if it would break free and stand up in the next moment.

However, it always seemed as if it was missing some crucial switch, and it just kept making that heart-pounding clicking sound but never really moved.

And when the menacing Sky Demon Puppet appeared beside it, the Fighting Saint Skeleton seemed to be keenly aware of the imminent danger. The crackling sound instantly reached its peak, as if the bones were rubbing and colliding wildly, and every sound seemed to hit everyone's heart.

At this split second, the Fighting Saint's skeleton suddenly raised its head. Then, a vague, low and hoarse voice, as if it had spanned endless ancient years, broke through the barriers of time, and quietly came out from the empty skull.
