“I, Lin Yun, am back!” Lin Yun’s eyes gleamed with light.
Not only had he returned, but he had also successfully expelled the Soul-Severing Poison, returning as a king!
Then, Lin Yun took out a black cloth to cover his face and soared into the air.
He didn’t plan to immediately announce his recovery.
As long as everyone thought he was still crippled, he would remain safe.
Next, Lin Yun planned to prepare, adjust his condition, and then directly face the Nine Tribulations to break through to Immortality!
After enduring twenty years of torment from the Soul-Severing Poison, Lin Yun now felt much more confident about achieving Immortality.
In terms of physical realm, he had reached the Nirvana Body.
In terms of willpower, the twenty years of torment from the Soul-Severing Poison had forged an indomitable spirit.
In terms of fortune, Lin Yun was no less exceptional.
Thus, he was fully poised to charge towards Immortality!
Once he stepped into Immortality, many threats would no longer faze him.
He would either remain silent or shock the world with a single cry!
Lin Yun intended to announce his return in a grand way by stepping into Immortality!
Until then, he would maintain the facade of a crippled man, unnoticed by others. Over these twenty years, the world had likely forgotten him.
As long as he didn’t reveal that he had expelled the Soul-Severing Poison, he would be absolutely safe during the period before facing the Nine Tribulations!
…
The Divine Capital.
Lin Residence, in the courtyard.
Lin Yun’s daughter, Lin Kexin, was practicing swordsmanship in the yard.
Now in her early twenties, Lin Kexin was in the prime of her youth, inheriting Yu Ying’s beauty and Lin Yun’s exceptional genes, making her strikingly beautiful.
A few years ago, Lin Yun had heard that his daughter was named one of the ten most beautiful women in the Divine Capital.
In terms of strength, Lin Kexin had made tremendous progress over the past twenty years. Lin Yun had spared no expense, using all kinds of resources and the Coffin of Mysteries to aid her. At twenty, she was already at the peak of the Third-Order Mahayana realm, with breaking through to the Tribulation stage only a matter of time.
Over these twenty years, Lin Yun had poured immense effort into her, often personally teaching her swordsmanship.
Additionally, Lin Kexin was particularly interested in formations, and Lin Yun had bought her many related materials and resources.
Lin Yun quietly entered the courtyard.
“Kexin, it seems you haven’t slacked off while I was away,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Hearing his voice, Lin Kexin turned quickly, and upon seeing Lin Yun, her face lit up with a radiant smile.
“Dad, you’re back!”
Filled with joy, Lin Kexin rushed towards Lin Yun, throwing herself into his arms.
“It’s only been a few months, but it seems Kexin has grown up quite a bit,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
“Dad, you were gone for months, and we were all so worried about you,” Kexin said, pouting.
Lin Kexin knew Lin Yun couldn’t use internal energy, so she was naturally concerned about him being away for so long.
“Yun-gege, you’re back!”
Yu Ying hurried in from outside, clearly delighted to see Lin Yun.
Pouting, she playfully scolded, “Yun-gege, you were gone so long without any word. We were all afraid something happened to you.”
Lin Yun calculated the time, realising his trip to the Wuji Realm had indeed taken half a year, mainly due to waiting for the Wuji Heavenly Palace to open.
For the twenty years he was poisoned, Lin Yun had mostly stayed home, and even when he went out, it was never for long. This was the first time since the Soul-Severing Poison that he had been away from home for so long.
“Sorry for worrying you, but rest assured, everything will be fine soon,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“By the way, where are Yunshang and the others?” Lin Yun asked.
“They’re all cultivating, but they’ve been worried about you lately. Should I notify them?” Yu Ying asked.
“No need, let them cultivate. I gained quite a bit from this trip and need to cultivate myself,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
Before, Lin Yun always felt he didn’t have much time left, so he tried to spend as much time with them as possible.
Now that he had recovered, he no longer had to worry, as there would be plenty of time in the future.
“By the way, Yun-gege, there’s something I wanted to discuss. You know Kexin is very interested in formations, but studying them alone is difficult. It’s best to have a master skilled in formations to guide her. The most famous formation master in our Dongyuan Prefecture is Master Tu Fan. He’s recently taking disciples publicly, and I’d like Kexin to study under him,” Yu Ying said.
“Master Tu Fan? I’ve heard of him,” Lin Yun nodded.
Master Tu Fan was a formation grandmaster of the imperial clan. Compared to Du Yuanzi, he was far superior in formations, being the top formation grandmaster in the Huoyun imperial clan.
As a member of the imperial family, backed by their resources, Tu Fan had access to powerful and ancient formations that ordinary people could rarely obtain, as formations heavily relied on resources.
Due to the high barrier to entry, very few people studied formations among the common folk.
“Yun-gege, since you’re His Majesty’s disciple, Master Tu Fan will likely give you some face. Why don’t you take Kexin to meet him tomorrow?” Yu Ying suggested.
“Of course, no problem,” Lin Yun agreed with a smile.
When it came to his daughter, Lin Yun always gave his all. As long as it was the best for her, he would spare no effort!
Then, Lin Yun turned to Lin Kexin, “Kexin, do you want to study under Master Tu Fan?”
“Dad, I want to become a formation grandmaster, of course I do!” Kexin replied without hesitation, her voice sweet.
“Good, as long as you want it, Dad will make it happen,” Lin Yun said, smiling.
Lin Yun chatted with them a bit longer before returning to his bedroom.
In the bedroom.
Lin Yun went to the cultivation area.
While in the Wuji Realm, he had been eager to return and hadn’t had time to carefully study it.
The *Wuji Dharma Image* was divided into nine levels. At the ninth level, one could create up to nine clones.
The clones were essentially energy bodies, constantly draining the user, so they weren’t suited for long-term use, only to be summoned when needed.
“Let’s begin.”
After reviewing it, Lin Yun started cultivating.
With his foundation, cultivating the first level of the *Wuji Dharma Image* was easy.
Half a day later.
“Wuji Dharma Image, Divide!”
With those words, a clone identical to Lin Yun instantly emerged from his body.
It was essentially a puppet, fully under Lin Yun’s control.
