Lin Yun had not felt the sensation of his physical body advancing for a very long time.
“Next, my body needs to break through its bottleneck,” Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
To break through the physical bottleneck, Lin Yun could only wait until he opened more divine veins. He would then rely on the power of those divine veins to help him cross the threshold and step into the Saint level with his body.
This advancement not only strengthened his defence, it would also bring a significant boost to his strength.
Hong Yuan’s array formation was not yet complete, but it was nearly finished. In any case, it would be done within this month. While waiting, Lin Yun planned to continue his comprehension.
He entered the One Thought Clarity Tower, sat cross-legged, and soon fell into a meditative state, further digesting the insights he had gained throughout the beastman territories.
…
After cultivating for a hundred days inside the One Thought Clarity Tower, a knock at the door in the outside world startled Lin Yun out of his meditation.
He immediately left the tower, returned to his room, and went to open the door.
By his reckoning, exactly twenty days had passed outside.
Standing at the door was Zou Dongsheng.
“Young Master, Master Hong Yuan completed the array today. We can head back,” Zou Dongsheng said.
“It is finished? Where are they now?” Lin Yun asked.
“In the main hall of the tribal palace,” Zou Dongsheng replied.
“Good, let us go.”
Lin Yun set off at once with Zou Dongsheng and headed straight for the tribal palace’s main hall.
When the two entered, Master Hong Yuan and Dong Jian were already standing inside.
Mu Li sat on the throne at the front of the hall.
Before this, Mu Li had already inspected and accepted the grand array, confirming everything was in order.
He was extremely satisfied with the formation.
Once Lin Yun stepped into the hall,
“Lin Yun, the array has been successfully set up. We can return now,” Hong Yuan said to him.
“Master Hong Yuan, I must thank you for your hard work this time,” Lin Yun replied, cupping his fists politely.
At that moment, Mu Li spoke from the front. “Master Hong Yuan, I, Mu Li, still want to thank you. My Golden Wolf Tribe finally has a grand protective array!”
His voice was resonant and hearty.
“I was merely carrying out a task entrusted to me by friend Bei Chen. You may direct your thanks to him,” Hong Yuan said.
“When do you plan to set off for the Ancestral Heart Realm? If you wish to remain longer in my Golden Wolf Tribe, you are most welcome,” Mu Li offered.
“Senior Mu Li, we appreciate your kindness, but we need to return as soon as possible,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
He had already explored every corner of the Golden Wolf Tribe’s territory under Mu Li’s command and found no trace of a Heart of Origin. The territories of other tribes were not places he could easily enter. Naturally, there was no reason for him to stay longer.
The sooner he returned, the sooner he could feel at ease.
“Very well, I will not keep you then. Since you have successfully completed the grand array for me, I will personally escort you back to the Ancestral Heart Realm. Let us depart now.” Mu Li rose from his throne and walked down the steps.
“Excellent. Thank you very much. We will set off immediately,” Lin Yun agreed.
Lin Yun understood perfectly well that if Mu Li had not offered to escort them, they would have had no choice in the matter.
The array was complete; Mu Li no longer had any obligation to host them.
Yet he still chose to escort the four of them back, which surprised Lin Yun a little.
With Mu Li accompanying them, the journey would undoubtedly be much safer. Even setting aside his strength, he at least knew the safest routes.
…
Under Mu Li’s leadership, Lin Yun and the other three left the Golden Wolf Tribe and began the journey home.
The trip here had been smooth, and with Mu Li guiding them on the return, there should be no major problems.
Lin Yun was already looking forward to retrieving that batch of beastman corpses once he got back so he could continue opening divine veins!
Of course, the road was long, and travelling would still take some time.
One month later.
High in the sky, everyone continued hurrying along as usual.
“This mission looked quite difficult at first, but in the end it turned out to be manageable. On the contrary, this trip to the beastman race gave us some unique experiences and sights. To step onto beastman territory once in my lifetime is certainly a rare experience,” Hong Yuan said with a laugh.
“Indeed,” Lin Yun replied, nodding with a smile.
For Lin Yun, the rewards of this journey had been excellent.
Coming to the beastman race had given him fresh insights, allowed him to break through to the late stage of the Indestructible Divine Body using the resources he obtained, and even secured a piece of precious ore.
