The latest update on the top-tier tycoon! Without a doubt, Emperor Huoyun’s rapid breakthrough to the Saint Realm owes much to the Mysterious Heavenly Fruit provided by Lin Yun.
Lin Yun hurriedly made his way to the palace to personally congratulate Emperor Huoyun.
Inside the palace hall.
“Congratulations, Master, on reaching the Saint Realm. From now on, your cultivation journey will open up a new world.” Lin Yun said joyfully.
“My disciple, my breakthrough to the Saint Realm is entirely thanks to you. Without your Mysterious Heavenly Fruit, the Saint Realm would still be far out of reach for me. I should be the one thanking you.” Emperor Huoyun said with a smile.
At this moment, Emperor Huoyun was undoubtedly in high spirits, as breaking through to the Saint Realm was of great significance.
“Now that Master has reached the Saint Realm, passing the ultimate test of the Heavenly Fire Temple will surely be no problem.” Lin Yun said.
“Indeed, what once seemed distant to me, the Ancestral Land, is now within reach.” Emperor Huoyun smiled, reflecting.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yun’s expression turned serious.
“Master, I suggest you hold off on going to the Ancestral Land for now. As I’ve told you, one can only go there through the Heavenly Fire Temple, and given its situation, going now would mean boarding a sinking ship.” Lin Yun said.
Having been to the Ancestral Land and now bound by circumstances, Lin Yun naturally didn’t want his master to get caught in the same mess.
“You’re right, that makes sense.” Emperor Huoyun nodded.
“Master, after I return to the Ancestral Land, you will be the most powerful figure among the human race. You can stay here to hold the fort. Even if trouble arises, with you in charge, it won’t be a big issue.” Lin Yun said.
With the Haoyue Crystals Lin Yun brought back, Emperor Huoyun could continue cultivating here even without going to the Ancestral Land.
Moreover, having reached the Saint Realm, Emperor Huoyun now possessed absolute authority, enough to deter all forces!
…
In the days that followed, immortals came in droves to congratulate Emperor Huoyun on reaching the Saint Realm.
Everyone knew that with Lin Yun absent, Emperor Huoyun, now in the Saint Realm, would rise to become the leader of the human race.
Even Emperor Tianqian made a special trip to the capital of the Huoyun Empire, entering the palace to offer his congratulations.
As the emperor of the Tianqian Empire, his主动 visit to the Huoyun Empire’s palace to pay respects clearly showed his stance.
After all, with Emperor Huoyun’s breakthrough to the Saint Realm, both his strength and status now far surpassed Tianqian’s.
…
The Heavenly God Palace also held a grand banquet to celebrate Emperor Huoyun.
During the banquet, Deputy Palace Master Yao publicly announced his retirement to the role of deputy, appointing Emperor Huoyun as the new Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace.
Lin Yun naturally attended the banquet.
When the banquet concluded, it was time for Lin Yun to set off back to the Ancestral Land.
After all, having signed a Death Servant contract with the Heavenly Fire Temple, Lin Yun was bound to it and had to return.
The day before his departure, Lin Yun visited old friends on Earth, including the Heavenly Sword Sect, where he met with Wanderer, Du Yuanzi, Beiliang Yan, and others.
Finally, Lin Yun returned home to bid farewell to his family and friends once more.
He also left a batch of resources at home, including another Mysterious Heavenly Fruit he had brought back.
For those loved ones who had reached the Tribulation Realm, these resources were of no use.
But for Mo Qing, Yu Ying, and others who had successfully attained immortality, they could be beneficial.
…
Above Tianji Mountain.
Emperor Huoyun escorted Lin Yun to this point.
“Master, the barrier’s restoration will likely take some time, but with you now in the Saint Realm and guarding this place, I no longer need to worry.” Lin Yun said.
“Lin Yun, you’ve already risked enough for the human race. From now on, focus on forging your path. There’s no need to worry about things here.” Emperor Huoyun said.
“Master, I’ll be off then.”
With that, Lin Yun turned and headed toward the divine mansion below Tianji Mountain.
Upon entering the divine mansion, Lin Yun crushed the jade pendant, waiting for the passage to open and take him back.
After a long wait, a massive vortex suddenly appeared in midair above the hall of the divine mansion.
Having been to the Ancestral Land before, Lin Yun was experienced. Upon seeing the vortex, he immediately flew into it, swallowed by the swirling void.
Inside the vortex, Lin Yun was carried forward at an astonishing speed, everything unfolding just as it had the last time.
The process lasted for some time. When the scenery before him shifted and Lin Yun opened his eyes again, he had successfully arrived at the Ancestral Land.
“Phew… I’m back.”
Looking at the Heavenly Fire Temple before him, Lin Yun let out a sigh.
He wasn’t sure whether he should feel happy or sorrowful.
Without a doubt, the Ancestral Land was a challenging place for Lin Yun, where he could truly shine.
But it also meant he was once again in the hands of the Heavenly Fire Temple.
Regardless, Lin Yun’s heart felt much lighter now. Having resolved the troubles on the Cultivation Continent, a weight had been lifted from his mind.
Now, he could fully immerse himself in forging his path in the Ancestral Land without any lingering concerns.
“Lin Yun.” A familiar voice called out.
Lin Yun looked up to see Mo Bai standing ahead.
Lin Yun leapt down from the massive stone platform and approached Mo Bai.
“Lin Yun, how did it go? Did you resolve the troubles?” Mo Bai asked eagerly.
“Rest assured, Brother Mo Bai. When I went back, dealing with those troubles was, of course, a breeze.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Haha, that’s true. You’re now in the Tongtian Realm, so those troubles were probably child’s play for you.” Mo Bai laughed.
With a smile, Mo Bai continued, “Lin Yun, with the Dark Demon Clan’s troubles resolved, we can now focus on forging our path and growing here.”
“Indeed.” Lin Yun nodded with a sigh.
“So, what’s your plan next?” Mo Bai asked.
“I plan to continue hunting demons at the border. My next goal is to aim for the Third Level of the Tongtian Realm.” Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun’s goal was clear: prioritize advancing his realm!
“Advancing in the Tongtian Realm is slower and requires far more resources. Reaching the Third Level through demon hunting won’t be easy. It comes with many dangers and challenges.” Mo Bai sighed.
“I understand that. The path of cultivation is inherently fraught with dangers.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
…
The next day, Lin Yun headed to the demon hunting registration office to sign up.
Inside the demon hunting registration hall.
The middle-aged man at the registration desk was, as usual, dozing off.
“Ahem.”
Lin Yun cleared his throat upon entering.
The middle-aged man woke up, slowly opening his eyes to look ahead.
“Lin Yun!”
Upon seeing Lin Yun, he instantly snapped awake.
