What does it mean to break through from the second level of the Super Realm to the third level in just three months?
One day in the 33rd Heaven of the Immortal Origin Realm is roughly equivalent to one year in an ordinary space. This means that Lin Yun achieved such a significant breakthrough in just one-quarter of the time it took in the 33rd Heaven of the Immortal Origin Realm!
Although Lin Yun used a portion of the power of the Immortal Origin Realm's origin and a low-grade Saint-level ghost cultivator's crystal core, this speed was still too exaggerated!
This was faster than he had originally imagined, when Lin Yun broke through to a higher level using all the power of the Immortal Origin Realm's origin!
Even back then, when the Dao Ancestor's seventy-two disciples had just absorbed and refined a lot of the power of the two realms' origin, they didn't cultivate this fast. He estimated that only when the Dao Ancestor awakened his memories could he cultivate at such a fast speed!
"Could it be that Lin Yun isn't the reincarnation of some top-tier expert from the outside world?" The True Martial Saint Monarch thought in shock.
According to the Dao Ancestor, if one is a reincarnation of a powerful being from the outside world, then at the latest, upon reaching the Super Realm, one can regain memories of their past life. In fact, if any major events occurred in the past, the memories will be regained much earlier.
Thousands of years ago, the Dao Ancestor was like this; he did not regain his past life memories only after reaching the Super Realm.
However, Lin Yun has already reached the third level of the Super Realm. Judging from Lin Yun's current reaction, it doesn't seem like he's hiding anything after his memory awakening. If Lin Yun really was hiding something, then he was acting too convincingly, as he hadn't noticed anything for so long.
"Perhaps there really are geniuses in this world? Otherwise, how could someone break through the last few heavens of a universe? It can't all be thanks to reincarnated powerhouses from the outside world, can it?" True Martial Saint Monarch thought to himself.
Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the third level of the Super Realm, his strength should have improved a lot. Even if he is not as strong as a Superior Saint, he is probably about the same. He estimates that Lin Yun should have no problem breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe.
"If Lin Yun's current strength can truly break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, and if the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe has already been broken by someone else, perhaps, if Lin Yun cultivates to the fourth level of the Super Realm, he can break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe on his own, or even, if Lin Yun cultivates to the Saint Realm, he can break through the thirty-sixth heaven on his own..." Then, True Martial Saint Monarch thought of something and took a deep breath.
The power of heaven and earth gained from breaking through each higher level is several times greater than that gained from breaking through the previous level. The difference in gains between breaking through the 34th and 35th levels, and between breaking through the 35th and 36th levels, is absolutely enormous.
Furthermore, the gains from breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven are worlds apart from those from breaking through the thirty-sixth heaven.
According to the Dao Ancestor, a being in a universe has only one such opportunity in its lifetime. Unless one is reincarnated like him, there is no chance to break through a new heaven in a universe a second time. However, that is also a new life.
Furthermore, the risks of reincarnation are too great. If one is not careful, one may be trapped in the cycle of reincarnation and never wake up again. Ordinary people would not take such a risk.
If Lin Yun breaks through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe and absorbs and refines a large amount of the primordial power of this universe and the outside world, it will be difficult for him to break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe.
Even if Lin Yun's talent were stronger, and he broke through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe in the future, it would be almost impossible for him to break through the thirty-sixth heaven of this universe.
Based on the final amount of the two realms' origin power obtained, even if Lin Yun breaks through the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth heavens of this universe consecutively, it will absolutely not be comparable to the gains from only breaking through the thirty-sixth heaven of this universe.
"Unfortunately, this is fate. No one has broken through the thirty-fourth and thirty-fifth heavens. Lin Yun can't wait for someone to break through them before he breaks through the thirty-sixth heaven of this universe..." True Martial Saint Monarch shook his head in his heart.
This is simply unrealistic. Under normal circumstances, it may take countless years for a single powerful being to be born in a universe, even hundreds of millions of years would be considered fast, and billions of years might not be enough. Especially when it comes to breaking through the last and crucial third heaven of this universe, who knows how long Lin Yun will have to wait?
Moreover, the universe is currently facing an extreme crisis. If Lin Yun doesn't break through quickly, the universe will be in danger, and it's impossible to wait this long.
“Otherwise, it might not have been a bad thing to let Langya and the others break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe first…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch sighed.
Perhaps this is fate. A series of events caused them to become enemies with the Sage of Langya at an early age, and then a series of events led to this result.
Lin Yun's breakthrough at this moment was no small breakthrough and could not be completed in a short time. Zhenwu Saint Monarch got up and began to protect Lin Yun.
Actually, there's not much to do; just keep an eye on whether the fluctuations in this space will spread to the outside world, so as not to let those powerful ghost cultivators discover it.
If he detected any tendency of Lin Yun's aura to spread into the outside world, he would use some of his power to help disperse it.
One day... two days... three days... five days...
Lin Yun's breakthrough this time took a total of five days.
Five days later, Lin Yun suppressed his aura, suddenly opened his eyes, and a series of sharp glints flashed from the depths of his eyes before disappearing.
"Thank you for protecting me, True Martial Saint Lord!" Lin Yun stood up, looked at the busy True Martial Saint Lord, and smiled slightly.
In the later stages of his breakthrough, knowing that Zhenwu Shengjun was protecting him, he made slightly larger movements. As a result, Zhenwu Shengjun also began to busy himself to block these movements for him.
Even if he weren't the True Martial Saint King, he wouldn't dare to be so bold. It would take at least ten days to complete the breakthrough process, and he wasn't even sure if he would be discovered by those powerful ghost cultivators.
However, due to poisoning, Zhenwu Saint Lord's strength was greatly reduced. Although he broke through from the second level of the Super Realm to the third level, his strength was comparable to that of a Saint. Naturally, the commotion of his breakthrough was not comparable to that of an ordinary super strong person. Zhenwu Saint Lord also had a lot of effort when blocking these commotions. Lin Yun was very grateful.
"Lin Yun, you've completed your breakthrough? Congratulations! Your strength has reached a new level!" After finishing a series of hand seals, True Martial Saint Lord turned to look at Lin Yun and said with a smile.
"If it weren't for the protection of the True Martial Saint Lord, I don't know how long it would have taken me to complete my breakthrough!" Lin Yun said gratefully.
"What I did was just a small matter, but your breakthrough process was too fast..." Zhenwu Saint King waved his hand, then seemed to think of something, smiled slightly and said.
If he had known Lin Yun would break through so quickly, he wouldn't have let Lin Yun waste that half-day in the thirty-third heaven of the Immortal Origin Realm. He would have given Lin Yun the resources to cultivate much earlier. With that half-day, Lin Yun might have already broken through to the third level of the Super Realm.
In that case, Lin Yun might have already broken through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe.
In that case, when those ghost cultivators suddenly appeared earlier, they wouldn't have been so powerless and only able to run away, and the people in the Immortal Origin Realm and the people on Earth wouldn't have ended up like that.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Who could have imagined that such a big thing would happen in such a short time?
Foresight is priceless; no one can see in the future.
I guess that's just fate.
He felt this sentiment again.
"It's alright..." Lin Yun said with an embarrassed smile. He had never seen others break through these realms, nor did he know how many days it took others to break through these realms. However, he could roughly feel that his cultivation speed was indeed faster than others.
He initially thought this speed was due to his use of a large amount of high-level resources, or perhaps because he was a native of the Immortal Origin Holy Land and possessed great talent. However, after seeing countless ordinary cultivators in the Immortal Origin Realm and hearing the description from True Martial Saint Monarch, he felt that this might not be the case.
As for the specific reasons, he wasn't entirely sure.
However, the fact that he can cultivate so quickly shouldn't be a bad thing.
"How strong are you now?" Zhenwu Saint asked curiously, his tone revealing a hint of concern.
Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the third level of the Super Realm, he should be preparing to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe. Lin Yun's current strength is extremely important.
"Let me see!" Lin Yun said, as he was also very interested in knowing about this.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Then, Lin Yun quickly formed a series of hand seals and began to set up layers of defensive formations. His strength was not weak, and if he used his full strength, the commotion would probably spread beyond this space. Even if he was just testing his strength, the commotion would still be considerable.
Setting up some defensive formations now to reduce the commotion later is a very necessary thing to do.
Because he dared not be careless in this process, it took Lin Yun an hour to finish.
"boom!"
At this moment, Lin Yun began to punch the defensive formations, while simultaneously closing his eyes to sense the power he was unleashing.
After repeating this motion dozens of times, Lin Yun finally stopped and opened his eyes.
"With my current strength, without using the Bloodthirsty Sword, I should have reached the intermediate Saint realm. If I use the Bloodthirsty Sword, I estimate I can fight against an advanced Saint without falling behind."
Although his previous strength reached the level of a mid-level Saint, that was only achieved with the support of the Bloodthirsty Sword. Without the Bloodthirsty Sword, he would only be slightly stronger than a low-level Saint.
Now, without using the Bloodthirsty Sword, reaching the intermediate Saint level in one fell swoop is a tremendous improvement.
"So you really can fight against a superior saint without being at a disadvantage?" True Martial Saint King's eyes lit up, and he was very pleased.
Although this result was within his expectations, he was still very worried before the result came out, because he knew that Lin Yun's original strength was enhanced by the Bloodthirsty Sword. However, such external enhancement is not something that can be achieved by just any realm.
If Lin Yun's cultivation level were to rise further, and the Bloodthirsty Sword were to be unable to increase its power accordingly, then Lin Yun's strength might not be comparable to that of a superior saint, and might even be significantly weaker.
The current result is very good.
"Yes, is this strength enough to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe?" Lin Yun nodded.
"Breaking through the new heavens is possible using weapons and magical artifacts. You have no problem using the Bloodthirsty Sword. As for whether you can break through, I estimate that it shouldn't be a problem. According to my reasoning, you had a great chance of breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe when you were at the second level of the Super Realm. It was only to be on the safe side that you were allowed to break through to the third level of the Super Realm before doing this." True Martial Saint Monarch nodded.
“I understand. So, can I try to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe now? Is there anything else I need to prepare?” Lin Yun nodded again.
"Set up more defensive formations. Before breaking through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, try not to let the commotion here get out. Then be prepared to escape at any time. When the thirty-fourth heaven is broken, there is a high probability that those ghost cultivators will discover the commotion here. We must be ready to escape at any time..." True Martial Saint Monarch said with a faint smile.
"Alright!" Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
According to the True Martial Saint King, every powerful individual capable of breaking through to a new level is an unparalleled genius of a universe, someone who leads an era, or even several eras, and sweeps away countless geniuses and powerful figures...
Under normal circumstances, once such a person intends to break through the new heavens of their universe, who would dare to provoke them?
Someone like him, who, after breaking through, is always ready to escape... is probably rare indeed!
Afterwards, Lin Yun calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and stopped thinking about it.
"Buzz!"
Lin Yun reached out, and the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his hand.
Lin Yun pointed his sword at the sky, and the Bloodthirsty Sword immediately began to hum. He could vaguely sense the excitement emanating from the Bloodthirsty Sword.
"All things have a spirit, and the Bloodthirsty Sword has a spirit within it, so it can be considered a living entity. After I break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, I wonder if the Bloodthirsty Sword can also gain some benefits. If it can, that would be fine. This Bloodthirsty Sword has helped me many times, so this is my way of repaying it..." Lin Yun thought to himself with his eyes closed.
He wasn't sure about this matter either, because in principle, the rules of the universe do not allow two life forms to break through a new level of the universe together. However, he asked Zhenwu Shengjun, who said that it was fine if the Bloodthirsty Sword contained a spirit, and Lin Yun could wield the Bloodthirsty Sword to break through the new level of the universe together.
However, Zhenwu Saint King was unsure whether the Bloodthirsty Sword could bring any benefits, because their initial action of breaking through the new heaven was led by Dao Ancestor Li Er, and the benefits they gained afterward were also distributed by Dao Ancestor Li Er.
At that time, they did not use any weapons, and it was not clear whether the Daoist Ancestor Li Er had distributed the benefits bestowed at that time into some of the weapons.
Lin Yun is gathering momentum.
Actually, there's no real trick to breaking through a new level of the universe.
First, one's entire soul merges into the heavens and the universe.
Second, unleash the strongest attack, striking the space in front of you with tremendous force.
The second point is not difficult; many strong individuals often use their strongest power when fighting.
The secret lies in the first item.
This kind of soul integration is not achievable under normal circumstances. Normally, one can only vaguely sense this opportunity during a breakthrough, and if one does not seize it in time, it may be lost at any moment.
Therefore, even if some exceptional geniuses reach a certain level of strength, they may not necessarily be able to break through to a new level. They must have both strength and luck to get this opportunity.
What Daoist patriarch Li Er passed down was this method of merging the soul with heaven and earth and the universe.
