"Nebula Realm, Nebula Realm, the breakthrough at this realm isn't about all the power breaking through in one direction, but rather in all directions. So that's how it works, I understand now..."
On this day, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Yun, and he suddenly had a profound realization.
He understands the reasoning behind it all.
However, in practice, he still needs to explore and determine things step by step.
"Snap—"
A shattering sound emanated from Lin Yun's dantian.
"boom--"
A tremendous force erupted from the center of his dantian and rapidly expanded in all directions.
This power is not a destructive force, but rather contains boundless vitality.
The area outside the twelve star-shaped domains within his dantian also quickly became lively.
"Boom—"
At the same time, a massive force of heaven and earth appeared out of thin air, converging from all directions and rapidly surging towards Lin Yun.
"I've finally broken through to the Nebula Realm!"
Lin Yun smiled faintly and said softly.
He didn't open his eyes, but instead focused all his energy on refining the energy of heaven and earth that was converging from all directions.
With each breakthrough, the energy of heaven and earth surges forth.
When one's level is low, it is not noticeable.
When one reaches a higher level of understanding, one cannot ignore it.
If this energy of heaven and earth is refined in time, it will be of great benefit to stabilizing one's realm and future cultivation.
"It is said that when a powerful being breaks through to the Saint realm, a great auspicious omen descends from the heavens. This omen can directly transform a vast star field into a blessed land, which can be preserved for a very long time. Earth and the star fields surrounding Earth were once such a place. If it weren't for the birth of the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Realm, Earth and the surrounding star fields would still be a blessed land..."
Lin Yun thought to himself.
Why are humans on Earth so gifted?
Why are the Earth and its surrounding resources so abundant?
That's supposedly the reason!
It is said that many powerful civilizations grew stronger for this very reason!
The strong will always get stronger, and the weak will always get weaker!
"However, the commotion from my breakthrough cannot compare to this..."
Then, Lin Yun shook his head.
Calm your mind and stop thinking about other things.
...
"Has the lord broken through in martial arts realm?"
"Nebula Realm? This is the Nebula Realm? Our lord's martial arts realm is only the Nebula Realm? This is the eighth level of martial arts! Previously, our lord's martial arts strength clearly reached the late stage of the eighth level..."
Outside the warship, Fang Ao was cultivating and nourishing his heart. After half a year, his heart was almost fully nourished. He sensed the movement and immediately got up, looking in the direction where Lin Yun was cultivating, with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
Lin Yun had only demonstrated his mental strength level to him, not his martial arts realm. However, he had seen the video of Lin Yun fighting Lin Mengmeng. The equipment used to film the video was very ordinary. From the video, he could only see Lin Yun's strength, but it was difficult to judge Lin Yun's realm.
He had always believed that Lin Yun's martial arts realm had reached the late stage of the Nebula Realm.
Now, Lin Yun's breakthrough tells him that he only broke through to the Nebula Realm today, how could he not be shocked?
Lin Yun was only at the peak of the Starry Sky Realm before? The peak of the Starry Sky Realm already has the strength of the late Nebula Realm?
What an incredible challenge this is!
He didn't know that when Lin Yun fought Lin Mengmeng, he had just broken through to the Star Realm, and was only at the early stage of the Star Realm!
He was only at the early stage of the Starry Sky Realm, yet he possessed the strength of the late stage of the Nebula Realm!
If he knew, he would be even more shocked!
"Nebula Realm! Lin Yun has broken through to the Nebula Realm!"
"So fast!"
"Before this, my brother already possessed the strength of a level nine early to mid-stage martial artist. Now, my brother should possess the strength of a level nine mid to late-stage martial artist, right?"
The others also stood up, looking in the direction Lin Yun broke through, and exclaimed with delight.
Unlike Fang Ao, they were always aware of Lin Yun's strength and realm.
Lin Yun is their leader and their backbone.
Now that Lin Yun has broken through and increased his strength, they see it as a great thing.
This excitement even surpassed Lin Yun's purchase of Yang Yi and Yang Er and his subjugation of Fang Ao.
After all, that was an external force.
Now, this is Lin Yun's own power.
...
One day later.
Lin Yuncai opened his eyes.
His realm has become almost stable.
call--
With a thought, Lin Yun instantly teleported out of the warship.
"Lin Yun, congratulations!"
Congratulations, brother!
"Congratulations, boss..."
"Congratulations, my lord..."
A group of people were already waiting outside. Upon seeing this scene, they all came forward and smiled with great joy.
"Congratulations! You've all made significant progress recently..."
Lin Yun smiled and said.
This time, he went into seclusion for nearly half a year, and the progress of the others was indeed considerable.
"Yang Yi, suppress your strength and let's have a spar."
Lin Yun looked up at Yang Yi, who was dressed in red, and said.
After a breakthrough, it's customary to test your current strength.
"Okay," Yang Yi said with a slight smile.
This time, they did not go to the martial arts arena.
Instead, they teleported to the starry sky.
At their level of skill, ordinary training grounds are no longer sufficient to fully showcase their abilities.
The starry sky is a bigger, more suitable stage where they can perform better.
"Bang—bang—bang—"
Soon, in the starry sky, the two had already begun their battle.
The others remained on Tianzhu Star, but numerous large screens provided excellent monitoring of the battle, ensuring they didn't miss a single exciting moment.
"The Lord's strength..."
Sure enough, Fang Ao stared at the screen, and soon his body trembled again, and he exclaimed.
On this day, he had just digested Lin Yun's martial arts and broken through to the Nebula Realm.
But he didn't expect that Lin Yun's martial arts strength had reached such a terrifying level.
Is this the strength of a level nine martial artist?
No! This isn't even the strength of an ordinary level nine martial artist!
This strength has reached the mid-stage of level nine martial artist, and is even very close to the late-stage of level nine martial artist!
In the videos he watched, Lin Yun's strongest performance was only at the late stage of level eight...
In one video, Lin Yun's performance was only at the level of a level seven post-production character...
It hasn't been that long!
Two or three years in total?
Lin Yun's strength has increased from the late stage of level seven to the mid-to-late stage of level nine.
This cultivation speed... is truly heaven-defying...
No wonder the master has reached his current level when he is only in his twenties!
This level of strength is something that cannot be ignored even when looking at a radius of two or three hundred million light-years!
"Could this be the effect of peak level nine spiritual power?"
Fang Ao sighed.
Now he knows that Lin Yun mainly cultivates martial arts and has not explored the mental system much. Therefore, Lin Yun's strength in the mental system is not very strong, but his current strength is still quite good.
...
"Sure enough, the further you go, the harder it is to fight against opponents of higher levels. Right now, my strength is only comparable to some powerful mid-level ninth-rank martial artists. I can also fight against late-level ninth-rank martial artists, but I won't have the upper hand. If it gets into a protracted battle, I'll most likely lose..."
Inside the room, Lin Yun sighed.
"There's another thing, which is that my mental strength is very difficult to improve..."
After a pause, another thing came to Lin Yun's mind.
It takes fifty mental crystals to raise your mental strength to level one.
It takes a total of 500 mental crystals to raise one's mental strength to level two.
And so on, each upgrade costs ten times the price.
To put it simply, the price to upgrade mental power to level one is five, followed by a zero.
The price for upgrading mental strength to level two is five, followed by two zeros.
Thus, the price for raising one's mental strength to level ten is five, followed by ten zeros.
How big is this number?
That's 50 billion!
Although Lin Yun's spiritual power has already reached the peak of level nine, it wouldn't require so much to upgrade it to the lower level ten, but 20 billion spiritual crystals are still indispensable.
That number is too many.
He raised his mental strength to the peak of level nine, which was enough to barely keep him going.
My current level is really not sustainable.
His cosmic trading system currently only has over 10 billion spiritual crystals in cash and over 20 billion spiritual crystals in resources.
It seems like a lot, but it can't support such a large consumption.
As his cultivation level and that of those around him and his subordinates increased, their energy expenditure on cultivation also increased dramatically, almost exponentially.
The consumption in the past year has exceeded 30 billion spiritual crystals.
This is still not allowed to be used freely.
If its use were allowed to continue unchecked, it would truly be limitless.
"You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. This rate of consumption is truly frightening..."
Lin Yun shook his head.
Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that humans on Earth have great talent and can cultivate very quickly.
With strong talent and rapid cultivation, the energy expenditure is naturally enormous.
However, such enormous consumption has forced them to find new ways to obtain spiritual crystals.
"The Cordis Empire, it's time to set off..."
Lin Yun looked up at the starry sky. 2546
