In such secluded cultivation, three thousand one hundred years passed in an instant.
At this moment, Lin Yun’s entire body was enveloped in radiance. A clear transformation was occurring throughout him.
His meridians, skin, bones, internal organs, and viscera all underwent a comprehensive enhancement.
When the commotion subsided, Lin Yun’s physical body realm smoothly reached the mid-stage of the Sacred Body. Power surged vigorously within him.
Lin Yun stood up and stretched his limbs.
The advancement in physical body realm did not merely improve defence. His strength also received a substantial boost.
“With six divine meridians, reaching the late stage of the Sacred Body should be no problem. Continue!”
After stretching, Lin Yun entered a cultivation state once more. His goal was the late stage of the Sacred Body. He would not stop until he achieved it.
This time, Lin Yun spent four thousand four hundred years.
His physical body realm finally reached the late stage of the Sacred Body. Beyond this lay the bottleneck for the physical body realm.
Inside the One Thought Clarity Tower.
Lin Yun clenched his fists tightly, feeling the immense power bursting from his body. Joy filled his heart beyond words.
“Late stage of the Sacred Body. This is the current limit of my physical body realm,” Lin Yun said to himself.
Relying on six divine meridians to break through this physical body bottleneck was virtually impossible!
Zou Dong Sheng also had six divine meridians, and his physical body realm was precisely the late stage of the Sacred Body.
“If I were to spar with Zou Dong Sheng now, my strength should be more than enough to secure victory,” Lin Yun said with a confident smile.
In the past, compared to Zou Dong Sheng, the latter’s advantages lay in realm, physical body realm, and divine meridians.
Now, Lin Yun had caught up in all these areas. In many other aspects, Lin Yun held advantages Zou Dong Sheng could not match, such as divine sense, the Source Tree, the Source Heart, and more.
It was now beyond doubt that Lin Yun’s strength surpassed Zou Dong Sheng’s.
“Whew, this seclusion has taken truly a long time. It is time to end it.”
As Lin Yun spoke, he directly left the One Thought Clarity Tower.
This cultivation of the physical body had taken seven thousand five hundred years. Adding the ten thousand years spent on divine sense, the total was seventeen thousand five hundred years.
Investing so much time to consolidate his strength had pushed every aspect of Lin Yun to the bottleneck stage. The progress was immense.
Due to the time dilation in the One Thought Clarity Tower, this entire seclusion had only taken three thousand five hundred years in the outside world.
More than three thousand years remained before the Pinnacle Competition began.
With so much time having passed, Lin Yun could not help wondering what the cultivation continent was like now.
In truth, he knew well that any relatives or friends who had not achieved immortality were probably no longer in this world.
When Lin Yun left the cultivation continent, he had already anticipated this outcome.
He had always avoided thinking about it, for he could not change it. Birth, ageing, illness, and death were beyond his control.
“With over three thousand years gone, An Yun should have ended her seclusion by now. I wonder how she is doing.”
After returning to the seclusion chamber from the One Thought Clarity Tower, Lin Yun immediately contacted An Yun via his communication bracelet.
“Young Master, three thousand years ago, I successfully stepped into the Harmony Realm,” An Yun replied through transmission.
“Is that so? Then congratulations. Your next step will face the great bottleneck of the Supreme Realm,” Lin Yun transmitted in celebration.
With An Yun breaking through to the Harmony Realm, the Wuji Heavenly Palace now had a full three Harmony Realm powerhouses!
“Young Master, I do not dare hold high hopes for this great bottleneck. Throughout history, those Harmony Realm cultivators who successfully break through to the Supreme Realm are exceedingly rare,” An Yun said.
“One must have dreams. No matter how low the odds, no matter the final outcome, one should still strive to try,” Lin Yun replied.
“Young Master, rest assured. I, An Yun, will naturally give my all!” An Yun transmitted in response.
After communicating with An Yun, Lin Yun left the seclusion chamber and arrived at the cave abode plaza.
“With more than three thousand years until the Pinnacle Competition, what aspect should I improve next?” Lin Yun pondered.
His realm could no longer advance. Over these years, he had pushed swordsmanship, divine sense, and physical body all to their bottlenecks.
With everything remaining unchanged, further increasing his strength had become extremely difficult.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun made his decision. In the coming years, he needed to venture out once more. Secluded cultivation could no longer yield improvements.
