“It seems this fruit’s boost to Xiao Bai won’t be small either,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
After checking on Xiao Bai, Lin Yun returned to the Mind-Clearing Tower space to continue improving!
Inside the tower.
“Let’s keep going!”
Lin Yun took out another Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit and swallowed it.
As it went down, it transformed into a vast, surging energy.
Lin Yun’s skin glowed golden again, his skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and organs all strengthened by this energy. His sea of consciousness in his brain was also nourished, further enhancing his divine sense.
Having reached early-stage Myriad Forms Body, advancing each realm now required far more effort than during the Pure Yang Body stage.
After consuming two more Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits, Lin Yun’s physical body finally reached mid-stage Myriad Forms Body.
So far, Lin Yun had consumed four fruits, with three remaining.
He continued.
The fifth, then the sixth.
After absorbing the sixth Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit’s energy, Lin Yun’s body underwent another transformation and leap!
Myriad Forms Body, late-stage!
Indeed, Lin Yun’s physical body had successfully reached late-stage Myriad Forms Body!
As his physical transformation completed, his sea of consciousness suddenly churned violently.
Under the continuous nourishment of so many Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits, his sea of consciousness had expanded to its limit, triggering a qualitative change!
About a few hours later, a powerful divine sense fluctuation burst from Lin Yun’s crown.
This fluctuation had reached Holy Spirit-level First-Tier!
“Haha, my divine sense broke through the bottleneck too!” Lin Yun laughed excitedly.
After the first Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit, his divine sense reached Super God-level Ninth-Tier. The subsequent five fruits’ accumulation finally pushed his divine sense past the bottleneck to Holy Spirit-level First-Tier.
Now, if Lin Yun faced Elder Mu again, even with his Heavenly Dao-grade weapon and the Baili Clan’s array empowerment, Lin Yun would have no fear!
With one Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit left, Lin Yun estimated it wouldn’t be enough to push his body to the Heavenly Vast Body.
Of course, his current late-stage Myriad Forms Body was already formidable!
“Hm? Movement!”
Lin Yun quickly exited the Mind-Clearing Tower.
Absorbing six Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits took about four days inside the tower, equating to nearly one day outside.
“Xiao Bai’s…”
Upon exiting, Lin Yun immediately noticed Xiao Bai’s activity.
Xiao Bai was enveloped in dazzling light, forming a radiant pillar shooting into the sky.
Within the light, Xiao Bai’s aura was undergoing astonishing changes.
“Xiao Bai’s making quite a scene. It seems the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit brought it immense benefits.”
Then, Lin Yun’s tone shifted, “But this commotion might expose our location.”
Though their spot was secluded, Xiao Bai’s skyward light pillar was visible from afar, likely drawing attention.
Lin Yun couldn’t interrupt Xiao Bai—this was its opportunity, not to be disrupted.
“So be it. If we’re exposed, we’re exposed.”
Lin Yun stood by Xiao Bai, ready to guard it through its breakthrough.
Just then, a team approached rapidly from a distance.
Lin Yun had seen this team before, but they’d had no interaction or conflicts.
Clearly, they were drawn by Xiao Bai’s skyward light pillar, likely thinking there was treasure here.
“Fellow cultivators, this is just my battle pet cultivating. Sorry for the disturbance. Please leave,” Lin Yun said, clasping his fists.
Realizing the light came from Xiao Bai, the team left.
Moments later, another team rushed towards them.
Lin Yun looked up and saw Elder Mu leading the Baili Clan.
“They’ve come, as expected,” Lin Yun’s gaze narrowed.
This was within his expectations. Xiao Bai’s commotion was highly likely to attract the Baili Clan.
The group moved swiftly, arriving in an instant.
“Elder Mu, it’s him! It’s him!” the white-haired elder pointed at Lin Yun, shouting excitedly.
Elder Mu’s gaze locked onto Lin Yun.
“Kid, so what if you escaped before? Now, you’re in my grasp. You got lucky last time, but this time, you won’t escape!” Elder Mu’s voice boomed, brimming with arrogance.
His icy, piercing killing intent erupted, flooding the surroundings!
“Who’s doomed remains to be seen,” Lin Yun said with a cold smile, his dark eyes glinting with anticipation.
Having boosted his strength with the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruits, Lin Yun was eager to test his improvements in combat.
“Elder Mu, don’t delay. Kill him now. We’ll support you!” the white-haired elder urged impatiently.
Elder Mu nodded, drawing his blood-red Heavenly Dao-grade warblade, his Tribulation Realm aura fully unleashed.
“Kid, this time, I’ll definitely slay you!”
With those words, Elder Mu stepped into the void, leaping into the air.
Silver Wing Blade Art, Eighth Form, Sea-Suppressing Form!
With a shout, his warblade seemed to stir towering waves in the space, its terrifying power condensing rapidly.
Having fought Lin Yun before, Elder Mu knew his strength. This time, to end it quickly, he unleashed his strongest attack, aiming to crush Lin Yun with thunderous force.
As the warblade’s power reached a terrifying peak, Elder Mu slashed down!
Rumble!
The warblade struck, shaking the heavens, as if splitting space in two!
“Bring it on!”
Shadow Sword Art, Sixth Form!
Heaven-Shaking Hand!
With raging battle intent, Lin Yun stomped forward, his sword glowing like a radiant cloud, bursting forth.
In an instant, Lin Yun unleashed his divine sense, mysteries, demon bone, and all techniques, channeling them into his sword.
Just before their weapons clashed, Lin Yun’s body erupted in dazzling light, the terrifying power of late-stage Myriad Forms Body exploding!
“What? Late-stage Myriad Forms Body!” Elder Mu, previously grinning ferociously, widened his eyes in shock.
As his voice rang out, their attacks collided.
Bang»
An indescribable, terrifying fluctuation swept outward, instantly collapsing the surrounding valley’s mountains, the commotion earth-shaking!
