Inside the great hall.
“Flying Shadow Golden Lord.” Lin Yun entered the great hall and bowed to Flying Shadow Golden Lord.
“I have taught you everything I can. To master the ninth level of the Flying Shadow Sword Technique, you can only rely on yourself now. You may leave.” Flying Shadow Golden Lord said.
“I understand. Thank you, Golden Lord, for your guidance over this thousand years. Without your instruction, I could not have reached even the eighth level, let alone attempt the ninth.” Lin Yun expressed his gratitude to Flying Shadow Golden Lord.
Flying Shadow Golden Lord said, “There are still more than two thousand years until the Peak Competition. Since your sword technique has stagnated, find ways to improve other aspects in the meantime. I will pay attention to this Peak Competition. I am rather curious about what kind of results you will achieve.”
“I will do my utmost, Golden Lord. I take my leave now.” Lin Yun said.
After bowing once more to Flying Shadow Golden Lord, Lin Yun turned and left the great hall.
When Lin Yun emerged, Martial God was already waiting outside.
“Brother Beichen, I will see you out.” Martial God said.
“Alright.”
Lin Yun agreed, then followed Martial God, leaving this miniature space and returning to the Ancestral Heart Realm.
Outside the miniature space.
“Brother Martial God, seeing me off here is enough. I will certainly remember this favour!” Lin Yun clasped his fist towards Martial God.
“Brother Beichen, do not be so formal with me. Even with this help, I still cannot fully repay the life-saving grace you showed me back then. That kind of debt would take a lifetime to settle.” Martial God said with a smile.
Martial God smiled and continued, “When the Peak Competition is held, I will go to watch. By then, I look forward to your performance, Brother Beichen.”
“Calculating the time, it has passed so quickly. The Peak Competition is only a little over two thousand years away now.” Lin Yun could not help but sigh.
Given his current cultivation situation, perhaps one or two more secluded sessions would pass those two thousand years, so the Peak Competition was indeed very near.
After bidding farewell to Martial God, Lin Yun headed straight for the Infinite Heavenly Palace.
Lin Yun knew clearly that his strength in all aspects had already reached a limit and could hardly improve any further.
For the remaining two thousand years, Lin Yun planned to properly comprehend the realm guidance given by Destruction Golden Lord, laying the foundation for breaking through to Supreme.
Even if Lin Yun could win the Peak Competition championship and obtain that fortune, truly relying on it to break through to Supreme still required a solid foundation.
Without a good foundation, merely having the opportunity would make breaking through to Supreme an empty dream.
…
After returning to the Infinite Heavenly Palace, Lin Yun went directly into the seclusion chamber, then entered the One Thought Clarity Tower, beginning to comprehend the guidance given by Destruction Golden Lord.
In this seclusion, besides comprehending Destruction Golden Lord’s guidance, Lin Yun also allocated some time to continue cultivating the ninth level of the Flying Shadow Sword Technique, as well as practising the Star God Canon, attempting to break through the bottleneck in divine sense.
In such secluded cultivation, time passed quietly, and the more than two thousand years soon went by.
“Lin Yun, the Peak Competition officially begins in half a month. We need to prepare to set off.”
Zou Dongsheng’s voice transmission suddenly rang out.
“Has it finally arrived?” Lin Yun opened his eyes, revealing a trace of anticipation.
Lin Yun had waited far too long for this Peak Competition.
Because of the One Thought Clarity Tower, his actual cultivation time over these two thousand years was much longer.
He had fully comprehended everything he could from Destruction Golden Lord’s guidance.
As for the ninth level of the Flying Shadow Sword Technique, Lin Yun had spent a great deal of time cultivating and comprehending it. There were gains, but he still had not succeeded in mastering it.
In terms of divine sense, Lin Yun had also devoted considerable time to practising the Star God Canon, trying to break through the ninth-order bottleneck of the Return to Origin level. Although he had not broken through yet, Lin Yun felt that, with persistent comprehension of the Star God Canon, there was a chance.
Overall, this seclusion brought some gains, but almost no direct improvement to his strength.
There was no helping it. Mainly, Lin Yun had reached bottlenecks in all aspects, and it was truly impossible to raise his strength further.
Soon after, Lin Yun left the practice room and went to meet Zou Dongsheng.
When Lin Yun arrived at the cave mansion square, Zou Dongsheng and An Yun were already waiting there.
“Young Master, since you have emerged, we shall set off for Chaos Valley today. This time, An Yun and I will accompany you.” Zou Dongsheng said.
“Alright.” Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
