Buzz buzz buzz!
Within his body, the dantian sea that had previously appeared as nothing more than a tiny black dot began to spin at terrifying speed. Under Lin Yun’s Dao transformation, the dantian sea successfully broke free of its restraints and slowly started to expand. What had once been a mere speck now grew to the size of a fist.
When the movement within the dantian sea finally settled, Lin Yun, who had been sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes.
In the next instant, a realm aura far more powerful than before instantly spread out.
That aura had clearly reached the Dao Transformation Realm!
“It went fairly smoothly. I actually succeeded.”
Lin Yun let out a long breath.
He had been worried that even with the help of the Spiritual Heart Water Lotus, he might still fall just short of success. If that had happened, even a tiny gap at the final step would have been extremely difficult to bridge.
“I just wonder how much time has passed outside,” Lin Yun murmured.
After using the Spiritual Heart Water Lotus, time had felt excruciatingly slow to him. He could no longer tell exactly how long this seclusion had lasted.
He promptly left the One Thought Clarity Tower, then sent a message to Zou Dongsheng asking how much time had passed during this closed-door session.
Zou Dongsheng informed him that one hundred years had gone by since their last spar.
Hearing this, Lin Yun felt a wave of relief. In his perception during comprehension, it had felt like tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.
“Not too long at all,” Lin Yun grinned.
Doing the calculations, after his previous session he had first spent another century inside the One Thought Clarity Tower, which equated to twenty years outside.
That meant, after taking the Spiritual Heart Water Lotus, another eighty years had passed in the outside world. Inside the tower, four hundred years had gone by, and he had cultivated with the lotus for those four hundred years.
“Zou Dongsheng, I have good news. I have broken through to the Dao Transformation Realm,” Lin Yun transmitted with a smile.
“Young Master, did you manage the breakthrough thanks to the Spiritual Heart Water Lotus?” An excited voice came from the communication bracelet.
To step into the Dao Transformation Realm in such a short period, Zou Dongsheng knew the Spiritual Heart Water Lotus was the only possible reason.
“Exactly!” Lin Yun replied cheerfully.
“Haha, excellent! Wonderful! Now that you have reached the Dao Transformation Realm, Young Master, your strength places you among the top ranks in our Wuji Heavenly Palace,” Zou Dongsheng said, clearly delighted.
Moments later, Zou Dongsheng said he would come to the main hall to see Lin Yun.
While waiting, Lin Yun fell into thought.
“This breakthrough into the Dao Transformation Realm went extremely smoothly, but the final minor realm of the Void Dao stage, the Harmony Dao Realm, probably will not be so easy,” Lin Yun sighed inwardly.
Breaking through to the Harmony Dao Realm was undoubtedly far more difficult than the previous two minor realms!
Achieving it in a short time would be harder than ascending to the heavens.
Even An Yun had been stuck at that stage for an extremely long time. Many cultivators never managed to advance further in their entire lives.
The higher one climbed, the harder it became!
A short while later, Zou Dongsheng arrived at the hall.
“Young Master, congratulations on entering the Dao Transformation Realm!” Zou Dongsheng said the moment he saw Lin Yun, offering his felicitations in person.
“Now that I have reached Dao Transformation, it is time for me to go out and roam,” Lin Yun said.
That had always been part of his plan.
Through this recent period of secluded cultivation and breakthroughs, Lin Yun had comprehensively raised every aspect of his strength.
Of course, because his realm had advanced so quickly, the improvements in other areas had struggled to keep pace with the realm itself.
Take his physical body, for example. Back when he was still in the Dominion Realm, he had already reached the Indestructible Divine Body. From Dominion Realm to the current Dao Transformation Realm, his cultivation realm had leaped forward enormously, yet his physical body had only progressed from the early stage of Indestructible Divine Body to the middle stage. He was still some distance from the late stage.
The faster the realm advanced, the harder it was for other aspects to catch up, and the weaker one’s ability to fight above one’s level became.
The recent surge in strength had mainly been to prevent Lin Yun from becoming just an ordinary cultivator with an empty realm in the Void Dao stage.
“Young Master, your recent seclusion has yielded tremendous gains, but it also means you have used up your current potential for rapid growth. Going out to gain experience is indeed a good idea,” Zou Dongsheng nodded.
“Yes, that is what I think too,” Lin Yun agreed.
Ever since entering the Void Dao Realm, he had enjoyed a massive burst of improvement. Now, any further progress in the short term would be minimal at best, unless he slowly ground it out over time.
For instance, spending tens of thousands of years slowly practising his swordsmanship, or twenty to thirty thousand years relying on his four divine veins to gradually raise his physical body to the late stage of Indestructible Divine Body.
