Inside the Tiandao Tower.
"I've already reached the sixty-ninth floor, but I still can't get out..." Lin Yun had just fought a bloody battle with a group of powerful warriors, and his body was covered in blood. He looked up at the gray sky above and sighed softly.
Time inside the Heavenly Dao Tower is difficult to calculate precisely, but it can be roughly estimated that if he calculated correctly, a year and a half should have passed outside the Heavenly Dao Tower.
He has been inside the tower for a year and a half and hasn't come out yet. I wonder what might be happening in the outside world.
He had a premonition that if he didn't go out when he should have, the events happening outside might take a bad turn.
"The Super Realm... the Super Realm... is far more difficult to break through than I imagined. It's not something you can break through simply by having enough resources, nor is it something you can break through simply by accumulating enough insights. I'm still missing a major insight, a catalyst..."
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, it's fine if my mental strength hasn't reached the half-step super realm yet. Now, my martial arts power and mental strength have both reached the half-step super realm. If I want to break through to the super realm, both of my powers must break through to the super realm at the same time. As a result, the difficulty for me to break through to the super realm will be extremely high!"
Lin Yun closed his eyes, sensed the two powers within his body once more, and murmured.
Mental power has always been a very difficult power to cultivate. In the early days, some cultivators could improve their mental power by relying on technological devices such as the Cosmic Trading System. As long as they had enough energy, they could quickly raise their mental power to an extremely high level.
However, this method becomes unusable in the later stages.
Moreover, this method almost destroys a person's foundation and base.
In the later stages, it becomes apparent that mental strength becomes increasingly difficult to cultivate and improve.
Under normal circumstances, it is already considered good if a cultivator's spiritual power level is two or three levels lower than the level of the system they mainly cultivate. For example, if a martial artist's martial arts level reaches the late stage of level ten, their spiritual power level reaching the early stage or mid stage of level ten is considered good.
In fact, many practitioners are two or three major levels lower. For example, a martial artist's martial arts strength may reach the late stage of level ten, but their spiritual power may only be at the level eight or nine.
Similarly, for a cultivator who mainly cultivates spiritual power, the levels of their other cultivation systems are generally not high. Being only two or three levels lower is already considered excellent, and being two or three major levels lower is perfectly normal.
Even those "lucky ones" who obtained the Cosmic Trading System, or those born into top forces with abundant resources, initially had mental strength or other cultivation system levels that were not much lower than their main cultivation system.
Later on, for cultivators at the late stage of level 12 or the peak of level 12, due to technological limitations, it is difficult to raise a person's spiritual power to the late stage of level 12. Therefore, it is already quite good for them to reach the level of level 12 in terms of spiritual power or the level of other cultivation systems they mainly cultivate. Generally, reaching the mid-stage of level 12 is considered top-tier.
Even many half-step super strong individuals are like this.
The Heaven and Earth Divine Heart and the Super Golden Source Liquid are heaven-defying treasures that can help people continue to improve. They are extremely rare and precious. Even many owners of well-developed cosmic trading systems, or those from top-tier forces with abundant resources, cannot easily obtain them or afford to buy them. Even if they could afford them, they might not be willing to buy them.
Therefore, very few cultivators, like Lin Yun, can simultaneously reach the half-step super level in both martial arts power and spiritual power.
Alternatively, the scions of top super powers may possess enough resources to reach such a level, but their respective powers make them aware that doing so would greatly increase the difficulty of breaking through to the super realm, thus preventing them from doing so.
In short, Lin Yun is now in such a predicament.
"Keep trying to break through the tower... I refuse to believe that I can't break through to the Super Realm. It's fine if I can't leave the Heavenly Dao Tower now, because I can train here for a longer period of time. Every day I train here is equivalent to dozens or hundreds of days of training outside..." Lin Yun closed his eyes and comforted himself. Now, this is the only way.
He had a vague feeling that once he broke through to the Super Realm, he would definitely be able to leave the Heavenly Dao Tower.
It is said that the Heavenly Dao Tower rejects those who reach the Super Realm, which is also a subtle hint of this.
call.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, and the next moment, he took a step forward, continuing his journey towards the sixty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Although it has been confirmed that the cultivation environment in the higher levels of the Heavenly Dao Tower is better.
However, his speed in climbing the Heavenly Dao Tower is getting slower and slower.
In recent floors, it has taken him about a month to clear each floor.
Fortunately, in the recent layers of space, the combat power he encountered was almost never higher than the fourth level of the Super Realm. At most, they were just stronger and more numerous. It wasn't necessary for him to defeat them in order to pass through that layer of space.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to reach the sixty-ninth floor.
"The Heavenly Dao Tower is inaccessible to super-strong individuals... Does this mean that the difficulty of the Heavenly Dao Tower is designed for those below the super realm? Therefore, those below the super realm can definitely pass it as long as they find a way..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
Is this how the Heavenly Dao Tower chooses its master? Is the Heavenly Dao Tower planning to select the strongest half-step super powerhouse? Or perhaps the half-step super powerhouse with the most potential?
A half-step super strongman... at his strongest, he can contend with a fourth-level super strongman, so he should have reached his limit, right?
The realm of a sage... He dared not even dream of it!
Based on the information he knew, there were far more powerful beings in the Saint Realm than those in the fourth level of the Super Realm. He simply couldn't imagine that a half-step Super Realm expert could be a match for a Saint Realm expert!
However, just as he was thinking this, the image of Lord Black Mountain from the fiftieth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower flashed through his mind.
He had a deep impression of that Lord Black Mountain. At that time, his strength was far from what it is now. However, he was unsure whether Lord Black Mountain had reached the Saint Realm or... was just a stronger fourth-level Super Realm expert.
He still remembered that the power that Lord Black Mountain used at that time only felt like the fourth level of the Super Realm, but he always had a feeling that Lord Black Mountain's realm should be more than that.
"He probably hasn't reached the Saint realm, right? He's only at the level of the fiftieth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower. I've already reached the sixty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower, and I haven't encountered a single person at the Saint realm yet..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
Perhaps his strength was too weak at the time, which gave him that illusion, Lin Yun told himself.
Lin Yun quickly put the matter aside.
It's not a good thing that he's always preoccupied with this one thing on his path of cultivation.
...
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yun spent another twenty days trying to conquer the sixty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower. By then, he had been trying to conquer the sixty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower for forty-two days. Finally, a spatial fluctuation appeared in front of him.
He has broken through the sixty-ninth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower!
The seventieth level of the Heavenly Path Tower has appeared!
"Walk!"
Lin Yun took a step forward, and a new world appeared before him. Just as he had guessed, the space he entered was the seventieth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower!
Fifty days later, he conquered the seventieth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower!
When Lin Yun stepped into the seventy-first level of the Heavenly Dao Tower, almost half of his white clothes were stained with blood, some from enemies and some from himself. The aura emanating from him became even more fierce, and naturally, his power had improved significantly!
The Bloodthirsty Sword hanging upside down in his hand hummed, faintly emitting an eerie blood-red light!
At this moment, if Lin Yun were to encounter a top-tier super strongman like Huo Shi'ao or Huo Shi'wei again, he would be confident that he could defeat them within a dozen or so moves. In fact, if they didn't have any powerful trump cards, he was confident that he could kill them all by himself!
This strength has surpassed that of Kim's mother, Chan, and even surpassed that of Mo Dan!
Now, Lin Yun's mastery of mental power is no longer just about reaching a certain level; he has now become a grandmaster of mental power cultivation!
With the help of the Bloodthirsty Sword's effect on mental power, he can easily defeat ordinary super strong individuals, or even easily kill them, simply by using mental power!
Sixty days later, Lin Yun passed the seventy-first floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower!
Seventy days later, Lin Yun passed the seventy-second floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower!
By this time, Lin Yun had been attempting to conquer the Heavenly Dao Tower for over two years!
To be precise, it has been two years and one month!
However, Lin Yun felt that he was still a long way from breaking through to the Super Realm!
"I still can't leave the Heavenly Dao Tower..."
Recently, every time Lin Yun passed through a level of the Heavenly Dao Tower, he would try to see if he could leave the Heavenly Dao Tower. At this moment, Lin Yun was disappointed again and murmured.
The next moment, Lin Yun looked up, his eyes gazing at the new world.
The seventy-third floor of the Heavenly Tower, whether it was an illusion or not, gave him a vague feeling that it was very different from the spaces before it.
"The forty-ninth floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower... Forty-nine is a number in the Lesser Heavenly Dao. Subsequently, the environment within the Heavenly Dao Tower space underwent a tremendous change... For the numbers five, six, and seven, the Heavenly Dao Tower space experienced significant changes in quality. Now it's eight or nine. According to the pattern of change, some changes are to be expected. However... this time, the feeling of change is unusual to me..."
"Eight or nine... that's also a number in the Great Heavenly Dao. It's the number of the Heavenly Gang. It's said that the Heavenly Dao Tower has a total of one hundred and eight floors, which is the number of the Great Heavenly Cycle, and also the sum of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. Could it be that the space of the Heavenly Dao Tower is about to undergo a major change..."
Lin Yun's expression was solemn as he spoke softly.
