Under the potent nourishment of the Jade Yao Pool, Lin Yun’s divine consciousness began to surge continuously.
In mere moments, this enhancement reached a bottleneck.
Beyond this lay the Heavenly Dao-level divine consciousness, a major barrier. Lin Yun’s divine consciousness had stagnated for a long time, blocked by this very bottleneck.
Moreover, with the many aspects Lin Yun needed to cultivate, this bottleneck had lingered unresolved.
Like other forms of progress, advancing divine consciousness grew harder at higher levels, and this major bottleneck was particularly formidable.
“I hope, with the aid of the Jade Yao Pool, my divine consciousness can break through this bottleneck and reach new heights,” Lin Yun thought, filled with anticipation.
While divine consciousness alone couldn’t harm demonic beasts, it could enhance combat strength. Thus, continued improvement would still boost Lin Yun’s fighting prowess.
Under the relentless nourishment and impact of the Jade Yao Pool, the bottleneck began to loosen and crumble.
Within his mind’s sea of consciousness, a low hum resonated, and dazzling golden light spread, followed by a massive storm, like ocean waves.
Amid these fluctuations, his entire sea of consciousness underwent a remarkable transformation.
Roughly half an hour later, the sea of consciousness in his mind had turned into a radiant golden ocean.
Heavenly Dao-level divine consciousness achieved!
“Half an hour remains, keep going!” Lin Yun suppressed his elation, continuing to absorb and relish the nourishment from the Jade Yao Pool.
Pleasant times are always fleeting, and the hour passed quickly.
“Time’s up, come out.”
At the sound of the voice, Lin Yun reluctantly opened his eyes and left the Jade Yao Pool.
In that hour of immersion, Lin Yun’s divine consciousness broke through the bottleneck, reaching Heavenly Dao-level first tier, then advancing to second tier!
Don’t think a mere two-level increase is trivial; crossing such a major bottleneck in divine consciousness is extraordinarily difficult!
The fact that it helped Lin Yun reach Heavenly Dao-level divine consciousness alone proved the immense value of this reward!
As for his physical body, it also received some nourishment, progressing from the late stage of Chaos Body to its perfection.
The next step for Lin Yun’s physical body was the Origin Body, another major bottleneck. Clearly, the Jade Yao Pool lacked the power to help him surmount it.
With his physical body already so formidable, further advancement was incredibly challenging, requiring even stricter conditions.
If Lin Yun’s physical body were only at the Diamond Body stage, the Jade Yao Pool could likely have granted significant improvement.
“If only I could soak again,” Lin Yun thought.
After emerging from the Jade Yao Pool, he glanced back longingly.
“The Jade Yao Pool’s effects are strongest the first time; further soaks yield weaker results,” said a figure in the air above the hall.
“I was just saying, I’m already quite satisfied with these results,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.
“You’ve claimed your reward, you may proceed through the door ahead,” the figure directed.
“Lin Yun, since you’re the only one here, let’s go together, we can watch each other’s backs,” said Xin Yu of the Heavenly God Palace.
Lin Yun turned to see Xin Yu still present.
He had just finished his soak in the Jade Yao Pool.
Xin Yu’s invitation caught Lin Yun off guard.
Since entering the relic, Xin Yu, the strongest in their group, had never spoken to Lin Yun alone, nor paid him much attention, let alone invited him to team up.
Back then, he hadn’t taken Lin Yun seriously.
Now, his主动 invitation showed he had entirely reassessed Lin Yun.
In Xin Yu’s view, Lin Yun’s ability to break the consciousness seal proved he was exceptional!
“Alright,” Lin Yun agreed readily.
Together, they moved forward.
In Lin Yun’s eyes, Xin Yu’s ability to reach this point, especially escaping the spatial seal, showed he had some skill, earning Lin Yun’s respect.
Escaping that spatial seal wasn’t about combat strength; it relied on perseverance and strong willpower.
The two proceeded together.
“Lin Yun, what progress did you make with the Jade Yao Pool?” Xin Yu asked.
Then he added, “If it’s inconvenient to share, you don’t have to.”
“No inconvenience, I reached Heavenly Dao-level second tier divine consciousness thanks to the Jade Yao Pool. What about you, Senior Xin Yu?” Lin Yun asked, curious.
“I also used the Jade Yao Pool to break through to Heavenly Dao-level divine consciousness. Before this, my divine consciousness had been stuck for over three thousand years. I thought I’d be trapped at that bottleneck forever, but this opportunity allowed me to break through,” Xin Yu said, smiling.
He continued, “Additionally, my physical body, nourished by the pool, reached the Nirvana Body, quite a fruitful gain.”
By the end, Xin Yu’s smile grew broader; this relic journey had greatly enhanced him.
“Congratulations, Senior Xin Yu,” Lin Yun said warmly.
Because Lin Yun’s physical body was already so advanced, the Jade Yao Pool couldn’t offer much further improvement, but Xin Yu was different.
“I wonder what rewards await next, I’m quite eager. This relic’s rewards are truly generous,” Xin Yu said, eyes gleaming.
“I’m also excited, but the trials ahead will surely be tougher, claiming rewards won’t be easy,” Lin Yun noted.
After passing through the door, they entered a quiet chamber in the hall.
The chamber was serene, and as they entered, numerous candles on the walls lit up instantly, though the room remained dim.
Lin Yun immediately sensed something unusual about the room…
At that moment, the figure from the hall reappeared in mid-air.
“This trial is less dangerous than the last, but far more difficult,” the figure stated.
“What is the trial, please clarify,” Lin Yun asked politely.
“This room has a time flow difference: one day outside equals thirty days here. You have thirty years to comprehend a secret manual,” the figure revealed.
