“I am currently at the first tier of the Gui Yuan level in divine sense,” Lin Yun said frankly.
“Oh? A human like you has actually cultivated divine sense to the Gui Yuan level. You are very impressive!” Zi Tong said, genuinely surprised.
Divine sense had long declined among the human race. Zi Tong was aware of this.
“It cannot compare to your elf clan,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile.
Lin Yun’s first-tier Gui Yuan divine sense had only been achieved by investing a great deal of money and resources.
Moreover, advancing further from the Gui Yuan level was already extremely difficult.
“After we leave the palace later, wait for me at the palace gate. I will go and procure some resources for you,” Zi Tong said.
“Good. Thank you very much,” Lin Yun said quickly, expressing his gratitude.
The group continued talking as they walked and soon reached the palace gate.
The Sixth Prince was already waiting there.
“Sixth Prince.”
Upon seeing him, Lin Yun immediately saluted and greeted him.
“Lin Yun, I heard you are leaving elf territory today, so I came especially to see you off part of the way,” the Sixth Prince said.
Hearing that the Sixth Prince would personally escort him left Lin Yun rather flattered.
“Sixth Prince, with Zi Tong seeing me off, there is no need to trouble yourself,” Lin Yun said politely.
“It is no trouble. I have nothing else today. I will accompany you to the outskirts of Tian Sheng City,” the Sixth Prince said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yun did not refuse further.
“Father, I will go into the city first to buy some things for Lin Yun. You two chat for now,” Zi Tong said, then left ahead of them.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Yun chatted with the Sixth Prince about matters between the human and elf races.
From the conversation, Lin Yun learned that previous wars between the two races had been organised by the Dao Alliance and the six great powers.
Lin Yun asked curiously why the Dao Alliance and the six great powers, being rivals, would join forces against the elves.
The Sixth Prince explained that although the two sides were opposed, the Dao Alliance saw protecting the human race as its duty and would naturally organise participation in the war. In such inter-race conflicts, the six great powers, as human forces, would also join to gain benefits in the end.
Of course, most of the time, the Dao Alliance and the six great powers fought separately. Even when cooperating, they operated on different battlefields.
During the chat, the Sixth Prince once again expressed his willingness to befriend Lin Yun. He told Lin Yun that if he ever needed help, he could contact him directly and gave him a communication jade slip.
…
About an hour later, Zi Tong returned to the palace gate.
“Lin Yun, inside this storage ring are the resources I procured for you. Besides what I bought, I also added some of my own resources,” Zi Tong said as she handed the storage ring to Lin Yun.
“Alright. Zi Tong, how much did all this cost?” Lin Yun asked, accepting the ring.
“Do not mention money. Consider it a gift from me. You saved my life. These resources are nothing,” Zi Tong said, giving Lin Yun a charming smile.
“This… how can I accept that?” Lin Yun quickly waved his hand in refusal.
Zi Tong had already helped him greatly this time. How could Lin Yun take her things for free as well?
“Lin Yun, since it is my daughter’s heartfelt gesture, accept it. Consider it building some personal goodwill,” the Sixth Prince said.
“You see, even my father has said so. Do not be polite with me anymore,” Zi Tong said with a playful smile.
“Very well. I will accept this kindness. Let us head out of the city now,” Lin Yun said, putting away the storage ring.
Then, the group headed straight out of Tian Sheng City.
After leaving the city, the Sixth Prince escorted Lin Yun a further distance before taking his leave.
From then on, Zi Tong and the two royal palace guards continued the escort.
…
More than two months later.
At the border.
“Just ahead lies the Ancestral Heart Realm. Lin Yun, we will see you off here,” Zi Tong said.
With Zi Tong and the others escorting them, the journey had been very smooth.
Of course, their travelling speed had not been particularly fast. Lin Yun could fly much quicker alone, but he had matched their pace.
“Good. Zi Tong, thank you once again this time,” Lin Yun said, expressing his gratitude to her once more.
“Grandfather said that if you reach the Supreme Realm, you are welcome to visit the elf clan as a guest. Keep working hard!” Zi Tong said, making an encouraging gesture towards Lin Yun.
“I will,” Lin Yun replied with a faint wry smile.
In his heart, Lin Yun knew full well that reaching the Supreme Realm was far from easy.
After bidding farewell to Zi Tong, Lin Yun and An Yun headed straight towards the Ancestral Heart Realm.
