These two third-order Empyrean Realms, to put it mildly, were not particularly weak, and those who could reach such a realm were generally not that bad even if they were poorly cultivated in terms of secret books and the like.
Even if he met a strong one like Kun Yuanzi again, Lin Yun wouldn’t say that he could defeat it, but at least he would have no problem circling around with him, and wouldn’t be able to flee in a mess from him.
“Now that I’ve reached the Empyrean Realm, I’ll be able to, instead, try to cultivate the ninth level of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.” Lin Yun muttered.
With the Divine Demon Body Refinement Technique, the further back one went, the more difficult it was to cultivate, and the exertion was quite staggering, but the enhancement was likewise greater.
Once the Divine Demon Body Refinement Technique had rushed to the ninth level, the Divine Demonic Power would also be able to go up to the ninth level without any problems, and Lin Yun’s strength would then be able to receive another powerful boost.
However, Lin Yun realised upon closer inspection that the ninth level of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique required the consumption of spirit crystals, which was 1,280,000, an amount that would cause a Mahayana realm cultivator, to feel a headache.
The consumption of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique was incremental.
The seventh grading was 320,000 spirit crystals, the eighth grading was 640,000, the ninth grading went straight to 1,280,000, and for the final grading, a terrifying 2,560,000 was required!
Generally speaking, those who could practise the Divine Demon Body Alchemy to the eighth and ninth weights were at least at the Mahayana realm, and the best of the best, and even so, this figure, would cause them a headache.
Lin Yun felt quite rich, but now he also felt a great deal of pressure.
This time, when he raised his realm, he had spent a total of 530,000 spirit crystals, and Lin Yun still had more than 700,000 in his hand.
“This figure, I’m afraid it’s only enough to get me to the second stage of the Empyrean Realm, as for impacting the third stage of the Empyrean Realm, as well as the Body Refining Technique, I’m afraid I’ll have to think of another way to do it.” Lin Yun murmured in his heart.
These few times of breaking through the realms, the actual consumption was more than Lin Yun had expected.
Lin Yun planned to use the 700,000 or so spirit crystals in his hand now, and when there was a real shortage, he would find the Heavenly Sword Sect and ask for some first.
“Let’s try practising the ninth level of the Divine Demon Body Refining Technique.”
Lin Yun took out a bunch of spirit crystals and began to cultivate.
As Lin Yun’s cultivation began, an extremely terrifying and strange itching sensation instantly spread throughout every cell of Lin Yun’s body!
Lin Yun’s first reaction was to stop immediately.
“Can’t stop!”
Lin Yun hastily strengthened his conviction.
Although this torture was still terrifying to the extreme, Lin Yun felt that his current body was barely able to support such torture.
In the past, Lin Yun didn’t dare to cultivate the ninth weight, not only because this torture was unbearable, what really stopped Lin Yun was that this torture had been so terrifying that it was enough to backfire on Lin Yun’s body, and Lin Yun’s body couldn’t withstand this kind of torture, and forcing him to cultivate would only make it so, which was why Lin Yun didn’t dare to cultivate.
About an hour or so later.
Only then did Lin Yun, who was sweating profusely and had white lips, stop cultivating.
“The limit! It can only last for so long at most, my body won’t be able to take it anymore.” Lin Yun muttered.
Not only had Lin Yun’s body endured to its limit, even Lin Yun’s will had been tormented and somewhat blurred.
Immediately after, Lin Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead while running his internal energy to evaporate the sweat from his body.
This kind of torture, simply didn’t want to come a second time.
However, Lin Yun knew in his heart that he had to endure it many more times if he wanted to practise the ninth weight!
Although Lin Yun could only withstand it for more than an hour at a time, it was still much stronger than before, when it was impossible to cultivate this ninth weight at all.
If Lin Yun cultivated for more than an hour a day and slowly persevered, it would only be a matter of time before the ninth weight was achieved, but of course the spirit stones would have to keep up.
After resting for a few moments, Lin Yun got up and went out, coming to the lake in front of the courtyard to practice his sword.
In terms of cultivation, Lin Yun didn’t dare to slack off in the slightest!
Lin Yun didn’t have any great background, so he could only rely on himself to cultivate hard and desperately!
As for the little green dragon, more than two months had passed since the slumber and it still hadn’t woken up yet.
Eight days later.
Outside the courtyard by the lakeside, the breeze was gentle, serene and peaceful.
Lin Yun was dancing with his sword by the lake.
“Little guy, pretty fast efficiency, you’re already in the Void Meditation Realm.” A voice rang out.
Lin Yun turned his head to see that it was Elder Cui!
“Senior.” Lin Yun collected his sword and saluted.
“Lin Yun, after you reach the Empty Underworld realm, you should already be at the top level amongst the inner disciples, when you’re free, you should rush the Inner Sect Holy Ranking, it’s both a test of your own strength, and it’s also a way to show off to the Patriarch and the various Elders, everyone can be curious about your current strength.” Elder Cui said.
“Okay senior.” Lin Yun replied.
“Also tomorrow morning we’ll leave and go to the wanderer’s to pay homage to the master, I’ve specially come over to tell you.” Elder Cui said.
“Okay senior.” Lin Yun nodded once more.
“Right Lin Yun, during the time you’ve been in seclusion, your senior sister Mo Qing has already broken through to the Harmonisation realm, and since you were in seclusion and cultivation, she didn’t come to disturb you.” Elder Cui said.
“Has senior sister Mo Qing …… broken through to the Harmonisation.” Lin Yun revealed a smile.
Mo Qing was a few years older than Lin Yun, and for her to break through the Harmonisation realm at this age was actually already very stunning, and she was considered a heavenly pride in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
It was just that compared to Lin Yun, there would be a considerable gap.
After informing Elder Cui of these matters, he left.
“Since I’m going to the Wanderer’s tomorrow to pay my respects, let’s rush the Sacred Ranking this afternoon, it’s just the right time to practice, it’s been three months since I’ve fought.” Lin Yun muttered.
Now that he had broken through to the Harmonisation Realm, Lin Yun also wanted to verify the effects in real combat.
However, before rushing the inner sect’s Saint Ranking, Lin Yun was going to go to Mo Qing’s place first and congratulate her.
Outer Sect.
Inside Mo Qing’s residence.
Mo Qing was practising her sword.
“Senior sister Mo Qing.”
A familiar voice rang out.
Mo Qing turned her head to see that it was Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, you cultivate behind closed doors every day, everyone says you’re a cultivation fanatic and a martial arts nerd, it’s not easy to see you.” Mo Qing put down her short sword and pouted.
“It can’t be helped, there are too many enemies out there, it’s impossible not to cultivate hard, I heard that Senior Sister has reached the Harmonisation Realm, I’ve come here to congratulate Senior Sister.” Lin Yun wore a smile.
Immediately after, Lin Yun flipped his hand over and took out a divine grade short sword.
Lin Yun now had six divine grade swords, and this was one of the six, picked out, named ‘Flying Star Divine Sword’.
“Lin Yun, this …… this isn’t going to work! This is a divine grade weapon!” Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes flashed with astonishment.
She simply didn’t expect that Lin Yun would directly take out a god-level weapon and give it to him.
Mo Qing had been using a pseudo-God level weapon, so if she could replace it with a God level weapon, it would truly be the icing on the cake for her.
“There’s nothing I can’t do, it’s just a god level weapon, if senior sister pushes it off, then she’s not treating me as a friend.”
Lin Yun said as he grabbed Mo Qing’s hand before placing this ‘Flying Star Divine Sword’, into Mo Qingyu’s hand.
