"Ding! You have drawn the lottery 15 times. Congratulations on winning a Blood-Eyed Demon Wolf Spirit Crystal, a spirit beast of the same rank as the Heavenly Spirit."
"Ding! You have drawn the lottery sixteen times. Congratulations on winning a spirit crystal of the Swift Shadow Wind Fox, a spirit beast of the same rank as the Heavenly Spirit."
The subsequent lottery draw was somewhat satisfactory to him, because as he had anticipated, a single Heavenly Spirit-level piece would be enough to advance him one rank. With his current rank six strength, coupled with the bottleneck he was facing at the peak of rank six, he needed at least seven pieces. But that was far from enough.
"Ding! You have won the lottery eighteen times and obtained the Heavenly Spirit level cultivation technique [Frosty Shadow Ghost Technique]. It is recommended for people with naturally cold constitutions and can be enhanced by using oneself as a weapon."
"Ding! After twenty draws, the guaranteed reward mechanism of the Godly Lottery Pool has been triggered. Congratulations on obtaining one Spirit Crystal of the Holy Spirit-level Phantom Beast [Lord of Snow Moon]. The Lord of Snow Moon is said to be a unique and solitary spirit beast in the northwest of the Beast Realm. Its ancestor is said to be the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, hence it is also known as the Phantom Beast. It can induce hallucinations in enemies during battle."
With his mission accomplished, Lin Chen breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that breaking through to the Void Breaking Realm was imminent. He threw all the Dao techniques suitable for Ye Yao into her hands and prepared to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and break through.
Seven days later, time flew by. In the past few days, Lin Chen had been absorbing the energy of the several spirit crystals he had obtained, and now he had reached a critical juncture, only one step away from breaking through to the Void Breaking Realm.
Lin Chen took out the spirit crystal of the Blood Moon Lord, a Saint-level phantom beast he had previously obtained from the system. Its body was blood-white with a flowing fluorescent light, and the energy it contained was extraordinary. Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.
In an instant, the world lost its color, and powerful energies began to surge into his body. The sky began to condense, and apart from streaks of lightning, it was clear that the Void Breaking Realm cultivator was about to undergo tribulation to enter the Saintly Spirit Realm.
Before long, bolts of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at Lin Chen's location. Fortunately, he was already outdoors; otherwise, the house would likely have been reduced to nothing.
At this moment, Li Jue looked at the commotion in the backyard, his lips twitched, and he smiled and muttered to himself, "I knew this kid was no ordinary person. Things have been changing lately, he'll definitely come in handy in the future."
After two waves of purple lightning struck, Lin Chen's massive body turned black, a sight that sent chills down one's spine. But the purple lightning was far from over; even more and larger bolts gathered together, culminating in a final strike.
Lin Chen looked up at the sky, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, but he still sneered, "I'm not dead yet, let's continue. I must break through to the Saint Spirit level."
"Ding, system notification: Destruction and rebirth, mission complete, reward: your status restored to peak condition."
As the system finished speaking, Lin Chen's body hair had returned to normal, and he was full of energy again. Dealing with this last spiritual lightning bolt was a piece of cake.
Breaking through the void, establishing the Holy Spirit, binding together the whole.
With another long roar, all the spirit beasts within a radius of dozens of miles prostrated themselves on the ground—this was the suppression of bloodline power. Lin Chen had broken through, reaching the Saint Spirit level and officially entering a new realm of powerhouses.
Lin Chen's wings became more ethereal, and two small silver horns were faintly visible on his head. It was still unknown what these things were.
"Ding, mission complete. Breakthrough to Saint Spirit level. Reward: one chance to upgrade your Dao technique. You may choose to advance to any level."
Remembering that his derived Dao technique could evolve through three stages—foundation building, form setting, and soul infusion—Lin Chen chose to advance his original Dao technique to a derived Dao technique without hesitation.
Transforming into human form as soon as possible has always been a nightmare for Lin Chen, especially after his relationship with Ye Yao progressed further. He became even more unable to satisfy himself by appearing in the body of a spirit beast, since it was uncomfortable to be held in a physical form.
Having not seen Ye Yao for several days, Lin Chen, who had just broken through to the next level, was very excited and looked around, hoping to see Ye Yao's smiling face.
However, he did not see anyone. Lin Chen realized that something was wrong, so he quickly ran to the inner courtyard of the city lord to ask Li Jue about the situation.
Inner courtyard.
"Li Jue, have you seen my Ye Yao?" Lin Chen showed no politeness towards Li Jue. At this moment, he felt even more capable of fighting Li Jue, and Lin Chen himself knew that his identity was definitely not insignificant, so he dared not do anything.
"Lin Chen, right? A few days ago, Miss Ye Yao broke through to the third level of the Void Breaking Realm. She suddenly left the day before yesterday. It seems that your companion who ascended with you encountered something, so she didn't disturb you so as not to interfere with your breakthrough."
Lin Chen was pondering where he had offended anyone that had led him to Sheng'an City. After much thought, he could only think of the Xing family in Shengping City. They had robbed him and his brother back then, but he hadn't expected them to come so quickly.
"Thank you for your care recently, City Lord Li Jue. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer. If you have any news about Ye Yao, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you."
"Okay, you're welcome. Be careful, and don't hesitate to ask if you can help. The Xing family of Shengping has some influence, so be careful. My status isn't suitable for helping you," Li Jue replied.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Lin Chen sped off, eager to return to the inn where he had stayed earlier. A slight unease lingered in his heart.
"Retrieve Attributes"
After advancing to the next level, you should definitely take another look at the attribute panel.
"Retrieval successful"
[Host: Lin Chen]
Attack Attribute Points: 3200 (1 attribute point = 100 attack power; Note: Normal Supreme Defense is 100,000 attack power)
Agility attribute points: 3400 (1 attribute point = 100 agility; note: normal supreme defense is 100,000 agility)

[Offensive Techniques: Blazing Phoenix, Spiritual Strike, Ghostly Steps...]
[Overall Assessment: A third-tier Saint Spirit level expert, practically untouchable in Sheng'an City.]
Lin Chen was both amused and exasperated by the comment. "Walk sideways?" That was absurd. He couldn't even find Yao Yao right now.
Returning to his previous residence, Lin Chen broke down the door, only to find it empty. Sensing something was wrong, Lin Chen asked the downstairs shop owner, who told him that Ye Yao and the others had been taken away by several men in black a few days prior, who had left him a message.
"Come quickly to the Frozen Ravine in the northwest of Shengping City, or Ye Yao's life will be in danger. Xing Sen of the Xing family."
As expected, it was the Xing family. Lin Chen was furious. He should have known better than to let them go back to the mountains and instead just tore them apart.
[The four regions of the Upper Realm have no language difference. Because they are spirit beasts, they can communicate with humans from birth. This is an explanation to avoid any questions from you brothers.]
Lin Chen didn't dare to delay at all. He transformed into a winged tiger and rushed towards the city gate. Who knew how they would torture Ye Yao? With Ye Yao's current Void Breaking Realm, she had no way to deal with them.
Unconsciously, Lin Chen quickened his pace towards the Frozen Valley...
