For the immortals of the ancestral land, three hundred years is a rather short time.
Since Lin Yun needed to comprehend his realm in the House of Rules, he couldn’t stay in the One Thought Clarity Tower.
Thus, these three hundred years of cultivation were solid and uninterrupted.
During this time, Lin Yun hadn’t undertaken a single mission.
After all, the Cold Fiend Army, composed of Death Servants, was rarely assigned ordinary tasks.
Of course, the Skyfire Temple had a designated place for picking up missions, where one could take on solo tasks to earn merit points for resources.
Lin Yun, busy with cultivation, hadn’t gone there.
In the inner circle of the House of Rules, Lin Yun opened his eyes, swiftly left, and hurried back to his residence.
In his room, after three hundred years of comprehension, Lin Yun felt he had touched the threshold of the Saint realm. Yet, truly stepping into it still seemed challenging. Taking that final step was evidently very difficult.
“Now, it’s time for the Mysterious Heaven Fruit to play its role,” Lin Yun said, flipping his hand to reveal the fruit.
Looking at the Mysterious Heaven Fruit, Lin Yun’s eyes gleamed with anticipation.
“I hope this fruit can help me break through the final bottleneck and take this step!”
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun swallowed the Mysterious Heaven Fruit in one gulp.
As it entered his body, Lin Yun quickly sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.
A vast, powerful energy erupted within him, surging wildly toward his elixir sea, crashing against the bottleneck!
Under the fruit’s influence, Lin Yun’s body radiated a brilliant golden light.
From the outside, aside from the golden glow, he appeared calm.
But inside, his body roiled with tempestuous waves, a tremendous upheaval!
About an hour later, the bottleneck that had long held him back began to loosen.
His stagnant realm aura slowly rose, his elixir sea expanding rapidly and undergoing a qualitative transformation!
This energy surged through his extraordinary meridians, widening and strengthening them!
Lin Yun’s flesh, skin, organs, and viscera underwent a new transformation under this energy’s nourishment!
This change permeated every cell and particle.
A day later, when the final fluctuations subsided and his body calmed, Lin Yun opened his eyes and circulated his internal energy.
Boom!
A torrent of internal energy poured out like a flood, a powerful aura instantly unleashed.
His widened, strengthened meridians allowed for far greater efficiency in energy flow, and the quality of his internal energy had leaped forward.
Saint realm!
At this moment, the aura Lin Yun released was that of the Saint realm!
Lin Yun had finally stepped into the Saint realm, becoming an Early Saint!
“It’s truly a qualitative leap, so different!” Lin Yun exclaimed, feeling the surging internal energy.
Even with his many cross-realm techniques, facing Saint realm opponents had been tough, as the Saint realm was vastly different from the Dominator realm.
“The Saint realm is truly wonderful,” Lin Yun said, clenching his fist, feeling the surging energy, an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
He had longed for the Saint realm, and now he had finally reached it!
The Mysterious Heaven Fruit played a significant role in this breakthrough.
Though it only helped with the final step, that step was the hardest to overcome.
Without it, Lin Yun might have been stuck at that bottleneck for thousands of years!
Of course, he had earned the Mysterious Heaven Fruit through his own efforts.
“Now that I’ve reached the Saint realm, I need to figure out what’s required for the next realm advancements,” Lin Yun mused.
Based on his experience, after breaking through a major bottleneck, subsequent minor realm advancements would face no obstacles.
In other words, moving from Early Saint to Mysterious Saint and Heavenly Saint wouldn’t involve bottlenecks. As long as resources were sufficient, or by slowly absorbing the unique primal energy in the ancestral land’s air, he could advance without issue.
However, Lin Yun didn’t know how many resources would be needed to advance without relying on absorbing primal energy.
“I need to ask someone,” Lin Yun said, standing up and heading out.
With two hundred years until the Skyfire Trial, Lin Yun aimed to make good use of the time to further elevate his realm.
Who to ask?
After some thought, Lin Yun decided to consult Old Black.
In the Skyfire Temple, Old Black was the only person he could turn to for advice.
As for his superior, Guang Tiancheng, Lin Yun wasn’t keen on asking him.
Lin Yun went to Old Black’s camp, where Old Black warmly welcomed him into his room.
“Lieutenant Lin Yun, three hundred years have passed in a flash. How’s your cultivation going?” Old Black asked curiously.
“Not bad. I’ve broken through to the Saint realm,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“So fast? Haha, you’re incredible!” Old Black exclaimed, delighted.
Back on the cultivation continent, Old Black knew how Lin Yun had progressed to the Dominator realm, so he understood that Lin Yun hadn’t stayed at that realm for long.
Especially after the great war, Lin Yun had paused his cultivation for a significant period, making his actual cultivation time even shorter.
Thus, Old Black knew that Lin Yun’s speed from Dominator to Saint realm was astonishingly fast!
“It’s mainly thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Fruit. Otherwise, it would’ve taken me much longer,” Lin Yun explained.
“Even so, that’s impressive. You were already able to pass the ultimate test at the Dominator realm. Now at the Saint realm, your combat strength must have significantly improved. You definitely won’t be at the bottom in this Skyfire Trial,” Old Black said joyfully.
The stronger Lin Yun became, the happier Old Black was.
After all, Lin Yun was his connection, and a powerful Lin Yun meant Old Black had a reliable ally in the Skyfire Temple.
Lin Yun rolled his eyes, “Old Black, I didn’t join the Skyfire Trial to come in last, you know? I’m aiming for the top three.”
“Haha, of course I know that. It’s just… with two Tongtian realm cultivators in this trial, getting into the top three is incredibly tough. Even having reached the Saint realm, it’s probably impossible,” Old Black sighed.
“There are still two hundred years. I have time to improve,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
After a pause, he continued, “I came to ask you about advancing from Early Saint to Mysterious Saint and Heavenly Saint. How many resources are needed, and how can I progress?”
