call!
Without hesitation, Lin Yun immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, flipped his hand, and put the remaining gray crystal into his mouth.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The moment the gray crystal entered his mouth, powerful bursts of mental energy exploded within Lin Yun's oral cavity, surging into his mind. Lin Yun's mental power immediately increased rapidly, like a raging fire caught in the wind, and at the same time, his mind became crystal clear.
"This spiritual energy is of a very high level; it could probably enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator at the second level of the Super Realm..."
Lin Yun was secretly shocked.
Previously, because he had ingested only a small amount of gray crystal fragments, although the resulting spiritual energy was enormous and of a high level, it was far inferior to the spiritual power of a cultivator at the second level of the Super Realm. It quickly diluted in his mind space. Therefore, he only judged that the level of this spiritual energy was not low and that it was absolutely harmless to him, but he did not determine the specific level of this spiritual energy.
Now, he has figured it out.
A rare and precious material that can enhance the mental strength of a super-strong individual... or a rare and precious material that can enhance the mental strength of a cultivator at the second level of the Super Realm...
The value of such rare and precious materials is immeasurable, far exceeding the value of the Heavenly and Earthly Hearts he had previously purchased.
Perhaps only the super-golden liquid that Xiao Jin's mother gave him could compare to this gray crystal.
"Could it be that this gray crystal was left behind by a second-level super-realm ghost cultivator?" Lin Yun wondered thoughtfully.
Thinking this, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. Didn't this mean that if he encountered other ghost cultivators later and killed them, he might also obtain such gray crystals?
Furthermore, the stronger the opponent, the higher the grade of the gray crystal he obtains?
So, his original prediction was that he might eventually encounter a ghost cultivator at the third level of the Super Realm...
The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
But Lin Yun quickly put the thought aside.
Whether this is true or not, we can find out when he encounters and kills other ghost cultivators. His most important task now is to properly digest this gray crystal.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Lin Yun closed his eyes and began to rapidly refine the gray crystal.
He discovered that the spiritual energy emitted by this gray crystal was very easy to refine, far exceeding the refining speed of the Heaven and Earth Divine Heart. It was for this reason that he decided to refine this gray crystal on the spot.
Otherwise, he would probably waste most of his remaining six months trying to conquer the Heavenly Dao Tower here.
He was very curious about what the higher Heavenly Dao Tower space would be like, and why it would be wasted here like this.
One day... two days... three days...
Although the spiritual energy within the gray crystal was refined very quickly, the amount of spiritual energy it contained was so vast that it took Lin Yun a full three days to refine all of it.
"Buzz"
Just as Lin Yun finished refining all the spiritual energy, his mind suddenly trembled, and a magical wave emanated from his spiritual power, which began to rapidly transform.
At this moment, his spiritual power broke through from the late stage of level 12 to the peak stage of level 12.
Indeed, Lin Yun's original spiritual power was only at the late stage of level twelve. Although he had long ago obtained a high-level Heaven and Earth Divine Heart from the Eastern Emperor, which was enough for him to raise his spiritual power to the peak level of level twelve, refining the Heaven and Earth Divine Heart would take a considerable amount of time.
He never had the chance to refine a large number of those Heaven and Earth Divine Hearts.
His mental strength was only at the level of a not weak late stage of the twelfth level.
This time, he raised his spiritual power to the peak of level twelve in just three days, which was indeed incomparable to refining the Heaven and Earth Divine Heart.
"Those Heavenly Divine Hearts can only enhance the spiritual energy of a peak level twelve cultivator. If I'm not mistaken, this gray crystal should be able to enhance the spiritual power of a second-level Super Realm expert... If I had known, I would have used those Heavenly Divine Hearts first, and then used this gray crystal. Now, when I use those Heavenly Divine Hearts, their effects are greatly reduced, making it much harder for me to break through to the Super Realm..."
Half a day later, Lin Yun stabilized his mental strength level, opened his eyes, and sighed slightly.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Using low-grade natural treasures first, then high-grade ones, was the normal approach... but now, it was a pity.
"However, if I use the Heaven and Earth Divine Heart, I don't know how long it will take to refine it. I'm afraid I won't be able to refine it in this Heavenly Dao Tower, and then I won't be able to increase my strength in time..." Lin Yun paused and thought.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Yun felt much less regretful.
As he now challenges the Heavenly Dao Tower, the stronger he is, the better. In particular, on this level he is currently venturing into, he is very likely to encounter many ghost cultivators who are skilled in mental attacks, so the higher his mental strength level, the better.
As for those Heaven and Earth Divine Hearts... if they're not good to use, then we won't use them. It would be good if he let Mengmeng, Qingqing, and the others use them after he leaves. They are either low in spiritual power or low in overall strength. If they used these gray crystals, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand them. The Heaven and Earth Divine Hearts, with their gentle temperament and slow refining process, are just right for them.
"Three and a half days..."
After figuring it out, Lin Yun looked up, his black pupils slightly contracting.
It took him three and a half days to refine the gray crystal. Judging from the situation, he can't do too much of this yet.
Otherwise, the time he would spend climbing the Heavenly Dao Tower would be greatly reduced.
call!
With a thought, Lin Yun continued walking forward.
And take in the scene of this space.
The continuous mountain range was very tall and majestic, but it was filled with eerie and gloomy energy. Lin Yun estimated that this should be a mountain range with yin attributes, which was the legendary good place for ghost cultivators to live.
"It's amazing that a ghost cultivator at the second level of the Super Realm can survive in such an environment. I wonder how this kind of environment came about? Or is it just something simulated by the Heavenly Dao Tower?" Lin Yun thought to himself.
Having conquered all forty-nine levels of the Heavenly Dao Tower, Lin Yun now has a vague idea of what the various scenarios simulated by the tower are. He estimates that even if these scenarios are not real, they must be quite reasonable.
Not long after, Lin Yun encountered another powerful ghost cultivator, stronger than the previous one, but still within the second level of the Super Realm. Moreover, this ghost cultivator seemed rather cunning, employing sneak attacks and schemes.
"puff!"
In the end, Lin Yun spent a lot of effort to kill the ghost cultivator.
"It really wasn't easy..." Lin Yun couldn't help but sigh as he killed him.
At the same time, his mental energy immediately covered the spot where the ghost cultivator had fallen, searching for that gray crystal...
"really!"
Soon, Lin Yun's eyes lit up, and he was delighted.
Sure enough, he found a gray crystal at the place where the ghost cultivator had fallen, about the same size as the one he had found before.
With a thought, Lin Yun flashed to the side of the gray crystal and grabbed it in his hand.
“Exactly the same!” Lin Yun smiled slightly.
"Let's refine this gray crystal first! Dealing with the second ghost cultivator was already difficult enough, and it was still only at the second level of the Super Realm. If I encounter a ghost cultivator at the third level of the Super Realm later, or even two at once, it will definitely be even more difficult to deal with..."
"The increase in my mental strength level makes it easier for me to deal with the mental attacks of these ghost cultivators, and it also speeds up my reaction speed. As the saying goes, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. I'm spending some time now, but overall, it may not actually take that much time..."
Lin Yun pondered for a moment and thought to himself.
"call!"
Lin Yun sat cross-legged on the ground and began refining the gray crystal once more.
The quantity and quality of his spiritual power surged once again.
"Buzzing"
Just as Lin Yun was refining the gray crystal, the Bloodthirsty Sword on his lap emitted a flickering crimson light and trembled violently, emitting soft hums.
Lin Yun ignored it; this was how the Bloodthirsty Sword reacted when he was refining the gray crystal.
He believed this was the Bloodthirsty Sword's natural reaction when a major change occurred in the power within him.
After all, the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword is now merging with his own power, and his mental strength is surging. It's normal for the Bloodthirsty Sword to react.
"Whoosh!"
However, this time, before Lin Yun could refine much spiritual energy, the crimson light emanating from the Bloodthirsty Sword suddenly surged, and a powerful force suddenly poured into Lin Yun's body from within the Bloodthirsty Sword, quickly drawing a massive amount of spiritual energy back into the Bloodthirsty Sword. Subsequently, the crimson light released by the Bloodthirsty Sword became even stronger.
"What?"
Lin Yun was taken aback and quickly opened his eyes to look at the Bloodthirsty Sword on his knee.
He had always been the one killing, and the Bloodthirsty Sword would absorb the essence and power of the victims' blood. Then, a portion of the essence and power would be absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Sword itself to enhance itself, while another portion would be fed back to Lin Yun to strengthen him.
There has never been a situation before where the power he gained by using rare and precious materials was absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Sword.
"boom!"
Lin Yun stood up and immediately took the Bloodthirsty Sword off his lap. A power enveloped the Bloodthirsty Sword, causing it to float in front of him, detached from his power.
"Little Blood! How dare you absorb Brother Lin Yun's power!"
"Little Blood, how could you do this?"
At the same time, two angry voices, Little White and Little Blue, came from inside the Bloodthirsty Sword. Then, the three orbs of light chased each other and attacked one another inside the Bloodthirsty Sword, and a fight broke out.
"Little White, Little Blue, what's going on?"
Lin Yun asked in a deep voice.
The Bloodthirsty Sword is undoubtedly an incredibly powerful magical artifact, and its current loss of control is not a good sign, especially with Xiaobai and Xiaolan also supervising it from inside the Bloodthirsty Sword.
Lin Yun did not believe that Xiaobai and Xiaolan had become allies with the spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword.
"Brother, this little blood suddenly broke away from me and Xiao Lan and started absorbing your power..."
"Brother, it's all our fault for not keeping a close eye on it. Don't worry, we'll watch it carefully from now on and won't let it run wild..."
Xiaobai and Xiaolan quickly replied, their tone extremely angry.
"How's that guy's strength now? Can you two keep an eye on him?" Lin Yun asked, frowning.
This is a very important question. He only has his current strength because he has merged with the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword. If he cannot merge with the power of the Bloodthirsty Sword, it will be difficult for him to fight against that ghost cultivator.
I'm afraid I'll never be able to get past the fiftieth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower.
Even worse, Xiaobai and Xiaolan cannot keep an eye on the spirit within the Bloodthirsty Sword. If it turns against them during a crucial battle, that would be truly disastrous.
Wasn't the previous bloodthirsty madman, Nan Weng, killed in the same way?
Lin Yun didn't want to end up like Nan Weng.
"Its strength has increased a lot during this time, but Xiao Lan and I are not to be trifled with either. We have also grown a lot. Xiao Lan and I can keep an eye on it. Don't worry, brother. Just now, it was just that Xiao Lan and I weren't paying attention. Now, let's beat it up first..." Xiao Bai's childish voice came indignantly.
Listening to Xiaobai's words, Lin Yun's furrowed brows remained unchanged. As the saying goes, forced melons are not sweet, and forcing the other party to obey is not a good method.
He could sense that the spirit of the Bloodthirsty Sword was extremely cunning. Although Xiaobai and Xiaolan were intelligent, they were too inexperienced. When it came to scheming, they were probably no match for the spirit of the Bloodthirsty Sword.
If Xiaobai and Xiaolan fall for the other party's trick, all three of them will probably perish because of this sword.
"Is it really true that only one's own strength is reliable...?"
Lin Yun sighed softly.
If so, and his power is entirely his own, without relying on any external force, then why would he be so worried?
The Bloodthirsty Sword is powerful, but it can be a real headache if something goes wrong with it.
"Alright, Xiaobai, Xiaolan, you two stop dealing with this guy. Take a break for a while. I won't use the Bloodthirsty Sword during this time..." Lin Yun thought for a moment and said.
He really didn't dare use this uncontrollable, bloodthirsty sword. If it were to backfire during the battle, he would suffer a huge loss.
Previously, Lin Yun's impression of this guy resurfaced after this incident. This guy was too cunning, and even though Xiao Bai and Xiao Lan suppressed him, he wasn't entirely at ease.
Perhaps, this guy was being suppressed by Xiaobai and Xiaolan because he had been hiding his true strength?
It's better not to let Xiaobai and Xiaolan deal with the other side. What if the other side can no longer tolerate it and suddenly unleashes its power, doing something to Xiaobai and Xiaolan? That would be even worse.
Let's wait until he returns to Earth and lets Xiaobai and Xiaolan leave this bloodthirsty sword.
Perhaps, as he discovered that this Bloodthirsty Sword was becoming increasingly extraordinary, he grew more and more wary of it. However, since nothing had happened before, he subconsciously ignored this fact.
After all, the Bloodthirsty Sword is too overpowered. The difference in strength between using the Bloodthirsty Sword and not using it is almost like two completely different levels of power, which is simply too tempting.
At this moment, Lin Yun regained consciousness.
His over-reliance on the Bloodthirsty Sword is a very bad idea.
Perhaps he should have gotten rid of it sooner.
Well, it's not bad that he only made it to the fiftieth level of the Heavenly Dao Tower. The environment here is decent. Even if he can't break through to the Super Realm after cultivating here for a while, his current achievements should be enough to get him a Heavenly Dao Fruit.
He can also use the Heavenly Dao Fruit to break through to the Super Realm.
Besides the Bloodthirsty Sword, he also had the Demonic Sound Bell, which was quite effective against those ghost cultivators. However, since he already had the Bloodthirsty Sword, he hadn't used the Demonic Sound Bell.
Next, he might be able to obtain a few more of those gray crystals using the Magic Bell, which would be a considerable gain.
