Tianji Mountain.
Lin Yun arrived at Tianji Mountain but did not immediately descend to the Divine Mansion. Instead, he first headed to the small island where Palace Master Mo Bai resided.
On the island.
“Greetings, Palace Master Mo,” Lin Yun said, bowing respectfully.
“Lin Yun, what brings you here so suddenly? Is there something important?” Mo Bai looked up at Lin Yun.
“Palace Master Mo, I have some information to share with you. It might be of use,” Lin Yun said.
“Oh? What kind of information?” Mo Bai asked, visibly curious.
“It’s the insights left by the Human Emperor regarding his breakthrough to the Saint Realm. I’m sharing it with you now, and whatever help it provides, however small, is worthwhile,” Lin Yun explained.
“Is that so?” Mo Bai’s eyes lit up.
Though it was merely a set of insights, for Mo Bai, who had long been stuck at this major bottleneck, unable to cross into the Saint Realm, even the slightest assistance was enough to fill him with joy.
“Palace Master Mo, I’ll write it down for you now,” Lin Yun said.
“Good.”
Mo Bai promptly provided a brush and ink for Lin Yun.
The information was already etched in Lin Yun’s mind. He took the brush and began transcribing the insights.
Once finished, he handed it over. “Palace Master Mo, here you are.”
“Lin Yun, thank you for sharing this with me!” Mo Bai said with a grateful smile.
“Palace Master Mo, this was left by the Human Emperor. If anyone deserves thanks, it’s him, not me,” Lin Yun replied with a smile.
Sharing these insights with Mo Bai was, of course, to give him a chance to break through to the Saint Realm.
While relying solely on insights made a breakthrough unlikely, what if Mo Bai gained inspiration from them, found a path forward, and successfully reached the Saint Realm?
It might be a one-in-ten-thousand chance, but it was a chance nonetheless.
If Mo Bai could step into the Saint Realm, humanity would gain a true pillar of strength in the fight against the Demon Lord.
“By the way, Palace Master Mo, regarding the Divine Mansion of the Heavenly Fire Temple, could you notify my master to attempt it as well?” Lin Yun asked.
Lin Yun naturally wanted to secure this opportunity for his master, hoping he could gain something from it.
“You’re a loyal one, always thinking of your master when good opportunities arise. The Fire Cloud Emperor didn’t take you as a disciple for nothing. This is the second time you’ve brought this up, isn’t it? Your master has already reached the Third Level Dominator Realm, and I notified him a few days ago,” Mo Bai said.
“Really? Thank you, Palace Master Mo!” Lin Yun grinned.
“He was already qualified for the trial, so there’s no need for thanks,” Mo Bai replied.
“Palace Master Mo, I’ll take my leave then. I need to continue my cultivation and comprehension at the Divine Mansion,” Lin Yun said, bidding farewell.
“Good. I need to review this information as well,” Mo Bai replied.
After parting ways, Lin Yun headed straight for Tianji Mountain.
Upon arriving, he descended and entered the Divine Mansion.
Inside, Lin Yun went directly to the Chamber of Laws.
Within the Chamber of Laws.
“Let’s continue.”
Lin Yun sat cross-legged and resumed his comprehension, soon entering a meditative state.
…
In this state of cultivation, time flew by.
Nine years later.
Lin Yun opened his eyes.
“It’s no use,” he said, shaking his head.
Through his previous session and these nine years of comprehension, Lin Yun had indeed gained much.
But now, he found that he could no longer glean any further insights from the Chamber of Laws.
He had comprehended everything within his grasp, and what remained was beyond his ability to understand.
It was like being given a diagram full of flaws, numerous and difficult to spot. After spending a long time identifying some of the flaws, the ones he couldn’t find were simply beyond his perception.
“I feel close to the Dominator Realm, but unfortunately, I can no longer rely on the Chamber of Laws for this final stretch,” Lin Yun said with a sigh.
Since he could no longer gain anything here, staying further was pointless.
“From now on, I’ll have to rely entirely on myself. Breaking through to the Dominator Realm is indeed no easy task,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
After all, this was a major realm breakthrough. Even those great Dominator Realm experts had spent thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, of years to achieve it.
But as for what to do next, Lin Yun had little clarity.
“Hm? It’s Little Green Dragon!”
Lin Yun suddenly received a message from Little Green Dragon, transmitted through a crushed jade slip.
“It seems Little Green Dragon has evolved its bloodline to the supreme grade!” Lin Yun said, a smile spreading across his face.
Evolving a bloodline with the Dragon God Pearl took considerable time, but cultivating in the Purple Cloud Tower, with its eightfold time acceleration, meant it only required about a decade or so to complete the evolution.
“In that case, I need to prepare some resources for Little Green Dragon,” Lin Yun murmured.
During his last visit to the West Sea Dragon Palace, Lin Yun had learned that elevating Little Green Dragon to ten claws required roughly three to five million Qiankun Crystals.
This was an astronomical figure.
For comparison, Lin Yun had spent just over forty thousand crystals to advance from the Second Level Myriad Realm to the Third Level.
Even breaking into the Dominator Realm, Lin Yun estimated, would require at most a few hundred thousand crystals.
The amount needed for Little Green Dragon was ten times that!
Even if the West Sea Dragon Palace exhausted all its resources to convert into Qiankun Crystals, it might not suffice.
Thus, Lin Yun had to help Little Green Dragon gather some, then head to the West Sea Dragon Palace to assist in elevating it to ten claws as quickly as possible.
Currently, only Lin Yun could help Little Green Dragon achieve this rapidly. If left to its own devices, even with a supreme-grade bloodline, reaching ten claws would take an immense amount of time.
Moreover, Lin Yun’s own breakthrough to the Dominator Realm had an uncertain timeline, so it made sense to prioritize Little Green Dragon’s ascension to ten claws, as it was a more certain goal.
The significance of Little Green Dragon reaching ten claws surpassed even Lin Yun’s breakthrough to the Dominator Realm.
Ten claws corresponded to the strength of figures like the Human Emperor or the Dragon Emperor.
With this in mind, Lin Yun swiftly left the Chamber of Laws.
Upon exiting, the Black Mist Figure appeared abruptly.
“Lin Yun, you’ve been in seclusion for nearly ten years this time. How were your gains?” the Black Mist Figure asked.
It was clear the figure was deeply invested in Lin Yun’s cultivation progress.
“I gained a lot, but I still feel a bit short of the Dominator Realm. Most importantly, I can no longer gain new insights from the Chamber of Laws,” Lin Yun said helplessly.
