One month... two months...
Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.
Lin Yun had exhausted the mid-level Saint-grade Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core, but his progress had been tremendous, advancing more than halfway to the mid-level Saint realm. This made Lin Yun want to continue using the high-level Saint-grade Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core.
It is foreseeable that if Lin Yun continues to use that superior Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core to cultivate, he will soon be able to cultivate to the peak of the intermediate Saint realm.
Unfortunately, Lin Yun couldn't do that. If he did, when he tried to break through to the Upper Saint realm, he might not have much energy left to use from that Upper Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core.
"It's a pity I didn't kill one more Saint-level ghost cultivator earlier. Even killing one more low-level Saint-level ghost cultivator would have been good..." Lin Yun sighed.
Although he is currently at the intermediate Saint level, the low-grade Saint level ghost cultivator crystal core, which is also a Saint-level natural treasure, should be of considerable help to his cultivation.
However, he knew in his heart that he was already very lucky to have killed two Saint-level ghost cultivators. If those Saint-level ghost cultivators had not been scared away by him, he would have been lucky to have survived, let alone killed two Saint-level ghost cultivators.
Speaking of those Saint-level ghost cultivators, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a little strange. Was it that those Saint-level ghost cultivators were too cowardly, or that the Blood Emperor's reputation was too great? Three months had passed, and those Saint-level ghost cultivators had not returned since they escaped, nor had any new ghost cultivators come to the vicinity.
If True Martial Saint Lord hadn't told him that the connection channels between the two Netherworlds and this universe weren't improving, but rather becoming more stable and larger in scale, and that ghost cultivators were still hunting down creatures in various parts of this universe, he would have thought that those ghost cultivators had already left this universe.
During this time, although those ghost cultivators did not come again, Lin Yun's feelings did not become any lighter; on the contrary, they became even heavier.
"Perhaps those ghost cultivators are brewing an even bigger move, or perhaps, when they come again, they will bring even more powerful ghost cultivators..." Lin Yun thought to himself. He knew that at their level of strength, their senses were usually not unfounded. This was not impossible, but very likely.
"No matter what, it's right for me to improve my strength as soon as possible. The strongest of those Saint-level ghost cultivators who left is at the intermediate Saint-level. If they recruit even more powerful ghost cultivators next, their strength may reach the upper Saint-level or even the peak Saint-level. I must have enough strength to deal with them before they come again..." Lin Yun said in a low voice.
According to Zhenwu Shengjun's deduction, if his strength reaches the level of a superior saint, he will most likely be able to break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe. At that time, with the power of breaking through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe, his strength can be rapidly improved.
At that time, even if we don't say we'll reach the peak of the Saint realm, we won't be too far off.
In fact, given a little more time, he was quite confident that he could break through to the peak Saint realm.
Currently, at the intermediate Saint realm, he can easily exchange blows with ghost cultivators at the intermediate Saint King realm. If he reaches the peak Saint realm, perhaps he can easily exchange blows with peak Saint King level ghost cultivators.
At that time, those ghost cultivators brought with them peak Saint King level ghost cultivators, so they were not without the power to resist.
If those ghost cultivators brought with them were high-level Saint King level ghost cultivators...
A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yun's eyes.
At that time, it was uncertain who would kill whom.
Perfect timing! He could take this opportunity to kill one or two more peak Saint-level ghost cultivators, or even lower or middle Saint-level ghost cultivators.
With a peak Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core, or a lower or middle Saint-level Ghost Cultivator Crystal Core, his strength will definitely improve at a faster pace. He can sustain himself through battle, and at that time, those Ghost Cultivators may become his prey.
"I must cultivate quickly, I must..." Lin Yun thought to himself.
All of this is predicated on him having sufficient strength... ideally breaking through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe; if he's even a little slow, the whole rhythm might go wrong.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Soon, Lin Yun immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Fortunately, even without the mid-level Saint-level ghost cultivator crystal core, he still had many lower-level ghost cultivator crystal cores, such as those at the Super Realm level... He had killed quite a few ghost cultivators of that level back then.
Therefore, although Lin Yun's cultivation speed has slowed down, it is still much faster than before.
It's almost certain that those ghost cultivators will come again. Now, it just depends on how much their strength has increased when they return.
One month... two months... three months...
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Yun's cultivation level gradually reached the peak of the intermediate saint realm.
Two months passed quickly.
Lin Yun not only reached the peak of the intermediate Saint realm, but also spent some time accumulating experience at this level.
Now, Lin Yun is ready to attempt to break through to the Upper Saint realm.
"call!"
Lin Yun flipped his hand, and the ghost cultivator's crystal core, which was at the superior Saint realm, was taken out once again.
"We can try using this crystal core..." Lin Yun said in a low voice.
The next moment, Lin Yun closed his eyes and began to prepare for his breakthrough to the Upper Saint Realm.
One day... two days... ten days...
Knowing that Lin Yun was about to break through to the Upper Saint Realm, Zhenwu Saint Lord and the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower also rushed over, eagerly awaiting Lin Yun's result.
Soon, Xia Qingqing and her group also found out and rushed over.
During this period, with the large number of ghost cultivator crystal cores provided by Lin Yun, Xia Qingqing and her group have made great progress in their strength and realm. Many who had not yet broken through to the Super Realm have broken through to the Super Realm, and several of those who had already reached the Super Realm have reached the second level of the Super Realm. Even Lin Mengmeng has broken through to the third level of the Super Realm.
Lin Mengmeng once again demonstrated her considerable talent in cultivation.
If it weren't for Lin Yun's series of fortuitous encounters, he might not have been able to cultivate as quickly as Lin Mengmeng.
"Such a powerful breakthrough momentum..."
"I wonder when Lin Yun will be able to break through to the Upper Saint Realm..."
The group occasionally whispered among themselves.
One month later.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from Lin Yun's body, and swathes of liquid energy appeared out of thin air, rapidly surging into Lin Yun's body, making it feel like a sponge.
"Superior Saint Realm! Lin Yun has broken through to the Superior Saint Realm!" The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower exclaimed excitedly.
Zhenwu Shengjun was also very excited.
This time, Lin Yun had a high-grade Saint-level ghost cultivator's crystal core, so he didn't waste too much time on this bottleneck. He only spent one or two, or two or three months, to break through it.
This is definitely because Lin Yun broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe and absorbed and refined a large amount of the power of the origin of the two realms.
Otherwise, Lin Yun wouldn't have cultivated so quickly.
Next, Lin Yun needed to stabilize this realm.
"Now, we won't be afraid of those ghost cultivators coming back..." Xia Qingqing and her group took a deep breath and said excitedly.
They were well aware of the crisis in the Netherworld and knew that the key to resolving it lay in improving Lin Yun's strength.
Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the Upper Saint realm, even if he hasn't broken through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe, his strength is estimated to surpass that of an average mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator.
At least, we won't be afraid if that group of ghost cultivators comes again.
After Lin Yun breaks through the thirty-fifth level of this universe, his strength will experience another explosive period.
"I wonder if Lin Yun can break through the thirty-fifth level of this universe..."
"It definitely can..."
The crowd whispered.
A dozen days later, Lin Yun stabilized his advanced Saintly realm.
Lin Yun opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in their depths.
"Lin Yun, how is he?"
True Martial Saint Lord and the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower were the first to rush over and ask questions.
"The realm of a superior saint has stabilized," Lin Yun said.
"Great! How strong are you now? Can you break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe?" the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower asked excitedly.
Everyone was about to ask something else, but when they heard the question from the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower, they all listened carefully.
"My current strength is almost twice what it was before. If I encounter a mid-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator again, I should be able to fight them head-on. As for whether I can have a simple exchange with a high-level Saint King-level ghost cultivator, I'm not too sure. Finally, whether I can break through the thirty-fifth level of this universe, I've never broken through a new level of the universe before, so I don't know!" Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
Despite saying that, he was still very confident. Although he hadn't used his current power since breaking through, he could roughly sense how much stronger he was now compared to before, given his level of strength.
Previously, the True Martial Saint Lord had told him about the differences between each level of the Saint Lord realm. Presumably, the strength of those ghost cultivators of the same level should be roughly the same.
"A doubling of your power is already quite impressive. In this respect, one plus one is greater than two. Your overall strength should have increased even more. Now that there are no ghost cultivators outside, you can try to see if you can break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe..." The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower laughed loudly.
Now that Lin Yun has broken through to the Upper Saint Realm, he can try to see if he can break through the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe. If he doesn't try now with his current strength, it would be too conservative.
Most importantly, it knew that Lin Yun had already consumed that superior Saint-level ghost cultivator crystal core, and no more ghost cultivators were coming from outside. If Lin Yun continued to try to break through to a higher realm...
It's unclear when that will be achieved.
Back then, it took Lin Yun five or six years to break through from the lower-level Saint realm to the middle-level Saint realm.
To break through from the upper-level Saint realm to the peak Saint realm, without the assistance of corresponding level of rare and precious materials and power, it would be normal for Lin Yun to spend five hundred or five thousand years to break through.
It takes too long, we can't wait!
"good!"
Lin Yun nodded.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
The next moment, they all flashed outside the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Having previously broken through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, Lin Yun closed his eyes and quickly entered the gathering phase.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
The Bloodthirsty Sword trembled and emanated a powerful aura as Lin Yun held it in his hand.
Over the past year, the Bloodthirsty Sword had already refined the power of those ghost cultivators and had reached a higher level. Lin Yun clearly felt that the Bloodthirsty Sword's assistance to him had become much stronger.
At the very least, the auxiliary power of the Bloodthirsty Sword did not decline as his strength rapidly increased.
"boom--"
A day later, Lin Yun gathered his strength, opened his eyes, and a sharp glint appeared in them.
At the same time, he swung his sword forward.
"Boom—"
A terrifying force slammed into the space in front, and a huge black hole appeared instantly. Streams of immense power surged from the black hole, rapidly covering this space.
"Boom! Boom!"
The overwhelming power of heaven and earth descended like a raging flood.
"This is...broken?" Zhenwu Saint King's eyes widened, his heart trembled, and he exclaimed.
He had witnessed many instances of new heavens being broken, and he had even seen Lin Yun break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe on his own, a situation quite similar to the one he was in now.
No... the current formation is even more magnificent!
"Although... breaking through a new universe at the core of the universe is a little easier, but... isn't this too easy? One sword... and it's broken?" Hearing True Martial Saint Monarch's words, the spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower was also shocked and widened its eyes.
This scenario is quite different from what they had imagined!
Originally, they thought that Lin Yun's breakthrough of the thirty-fifth heaven of this universe would be extremely difficult and might take a long time. However, the reality was far too different.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Lin Yun was also taken aback, but soon he calmed down and began to absorb the energy of heaven and earth.
He knew that this was a rare opportunity that could allow him to quickly improve his strength.
"Seize the opportunity! This energy of heaven and earth is extremely rich and very special. If we can absorb and refine some of it, it will be of great help to our cultivation..." At this moment, True Martial Saint King also realized this and turned to look at everyone, whispering.
There was so much energy from heaven and earth, almost enough to cover the entire universe. Lin Yun simply couldn't absorb and refine it all. Even if everyone absorbed it with all their might, it wouldn't affect Lin Yun.
"I'll absorb some too!" The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower thought to itself.
It keeps the Heavenly Dao Tower at the core of this universe, which is to absorb the power of this universe. Now, this situation is even more conducive to its energy collection, and it will not affect Lin Yun, so it will not let it go.
"Great, great! One breath is equivalent to the power of heaven and earth that I have collected over several years..." The spirit of the Heavenly Dao Tower exclaimed excitedly.
How long is a breath?
But it is equivalent to the power of heaven and earth that it has collected over several years!
The speed at which this energy is gathered from heaven and earth is simply too fast!
It excitedly and quickly gathered this power of heaven and earth!
With more power from heaven and earth, it will be able to cultivate those rare and precious materials faster. Perhaps it will be able to recoup the cost of the rare and precious materials it has spent on Lin Yun this time.
