On the airship heading to Star Martial City.
“Lin Yun, have you stepped into the Great Perfection Realm in the past half month?” the sect leader inquired.
The sect leader was aware that Lin Yun possessed the One Thought Clear Mind Tower, so he knew that Lin Yun’s actual cultivation time was five times longer than half a month, which was not a short period.
“I have already stepped into the Great Perfection Realm,” Lin Yun replied.
“That’s good. Stepping into the Great Perfection Realm will be more beneficial for you to participate in the Ten Thousand Flowers Grand Competition,” the sect leader nodded with satisfaction.
“Brother Lin Yun, you’ve already stepped into the Great Perfection Realm? You truly leave us in the dust,” Zhi Jin, who was standing nearby, sighed.
“You all should work hard too,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Then, Lin Yun turned to the sect leader and asked, “Sect Leader, what are the requirements to break through from the third-stage Great Perfection Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?”
Lin Yun had already stepped into the Great Perfection Realm, and the next bottleneck he would face was the transition from the Great Perfection Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
“Breaking through from the Great Perfection Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm is a massive bottleneck, almost like a natural chasm. There is only one way to break through: you must master seven complete Dao Insights to step into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm,” the sect leader explained.
“Master seven complete Dao Insights? Is it that difficult?” Lin Yun showed a hint of surprise.
Lin Yun knew that there were restraining relationships between Dao Insights, so mastering seven complete Dao Insights would indeed be quite challenging.
“It is indeed very difficult. That’s why those who can cross from the Great Perfection Realm to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm are extremely rare. Those who reach the Tribulation Transcendence Realm become true powerhouses within the empire, capable of leading a renowned sect or establishing a powerful family,” the sect leader continued.
“Of course, those with the strength of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm can also choose to join the Star Martial Empire, the Free and Easy Pavilion, or the Taixu Tavern. The benefit of joining them as a Tribulation Transcendence Realm expert is that you are guaranteed to obtain a Tribulation Transcendence Pill, which is an irresistible temptation for many Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts.”
“I’ve only mastered three complete Dao Insights, so I’m still quite far from the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. I’m still missing four,” Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.
“You stepped into the Great Perfection Realm by fusing Dao Insights, which means you mastered one less Dao Insight compared to other Great Perfection Realm cultivators. This makes it even more difficult for you. However, since you’ve just stepped into the Great Perfection Realm, there’s no need to rush. Cultivation requires steady progress; it cannot be hurried,” the sect leader reassured him.
“I understand,” Lin Yun nodded in response.
“Lin Yun, the journey from here to Star Martial City is quite long. You should go to the cabin and cultivate. Try to make some improvements before the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet,” the sect leader suggested.
“Alright!”
Lin Yun nodded and then headed to the cabin of the airship. He picked a room, entered, closed the door, and began cultivating.
Inside the room.
“Little Qinglong, what do you think…”
As soon as Lin Yun entered the room, he habitually started a conversation with Little Qinglong.
But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that Little Qinglong was no longer in the Green Vine Gourd Space, nor was he by his side. There was no Little Qinglong anymore.
Lin Yun shook his head, remained silent for a few seconds, and then took out the One Thought Clear Mind Tower.
“Let’s begin.”
Lin Yun directly entered the One Thought Clear Mind Tower and began cultivating.
…
Lin Yun spent a full fifty days cultivating inside the One Thought Clear Mind Tower.
Inside the tower.
Lin Yun was rapidly carving a stone sculpture.
As the sculpture took shape, Lin Yun’s spiritual sense also gradually increased.
The carving knife stopped, and a lifelike stone sculpture appeared before Lin Yun.
“My spiritual sense has finally reached the second level of the Divine Rank,” Lin Yun revealed a smile.
During this period of cultivation, just like his previous cultivation at the Heavenly Sword Sect, Lin Yun had arranged his days to be fully packed, allocating time to every aspect of cultivation.
Because of this, the actual time allocated to each cultivation aspect every day was not very long.
Even so, his spiritual sense naturally progressed to the second level of the Divine Rank. The higher the level of spiritual sense, the more difficult it becomes to advance each level.
At this moment, Lin Yun heard some noise outside. He then left the One Thought Clear Mind Tower and returned to the airship room.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The room was still echoing with the sound of knocking.
Lin Yun went to open the door, and Zhi Jin appeared before him.
“Brother Lin Yun, we’re about to arrive at Star Martial City. The sect leader sent me to call you,” Zhi Jin said.
“Alright,” Lin Yun nodded, then walked out of the room and followed Zhi Jin to the deck.
The fifty days he spent cultivating in the One Thought Clear Mind Tower had only been ten days in real time.
When Lin Yun arrived on the deck of the airship, he could already see the outline of Star Martial City in the distance.
“Star Martial City, I’m coming back…”
As Lin Yun gazed at the vast, boundless outline of Star Martial City, a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.
When their airship landed, several other airships were also descending. It was clear that many people had come for this Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet.
“Sect Leader, it’s the Gu Family!” Elder Mei Gu suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Lin Yun also looked up. About a hundred meters ahead, a group from the Gu Family had just disembarked from their airship. The leader was none other than the head of the Gu Family.
In addition to the family head, there were more than ten people with him, including the Gu Family’s Grand Elder and the second young master of the Gu Family.
Lin Yun had a deep impression of the Gu Family’s Grand Elder and the second young master, as he had taken the One Thought Clear Mind Tower from them.
When Lin Yun and the others looked over, the Gu Family members also noticed.
The Gu Family members also turned their gazes toward them.
The second young master and the Grand Elder of the Gu Family looked at Lin Yun with intense hatred, as if they wanted to devour him.
“The Gu Family’s gazes are filled with hatred, as if they want to eat us alive,” Elder Mei Gu said with a bitter smile.
“Since we’ve come to participate in the Ten Thousand Flowers Banquet, it was inevitable that we would run into them sooner or later. Besides, the situation between us is already one of life and death. There’s no need to fear them,” the sect leader said.
“Sect Leader Xiao!”
A voice called out from behind.
The sect leader, Lin Yun, and the others all turned to look.
An old man, leading a young man, was walking toward them with a smile.
The old man looked somewhat disheveled, but his aura was extraordinary, indicating that he was undoubtedly a master.
“It’s Brother Hui Jue. It’s been hundreds of years since we last met, hasn’t it? How have you been, old friend?” the sect leader asked with a smile.
“I’ve been the same as always. But your Heavenly Sword Sect has been making waves recently. I heard that your sect has produced a monstrously talented disciple. Aren’t you going to introduce this so-called ‘Blood Calamity Bringer’ to me?” the disheveled old man said.
“Brother Hui Jue, let me introduce you. This is the Blood Calamity Bringer you mentioned—Lin Yun,” the sect leader introduced.
The sect leader then turned to Lin Yun and said, “Lin Yun, this is Elder Hui Jue, a reclusive expert who enjoys a carefree life. He has not joined or established any sect.”
“Elder Hui Jue,” Lin Yun greeted respectfully, presenting himself as polite and courteous.
At this moment, the young man standing beside the disheveled old man, Hui Jue, stepped forward.
