“Yes.” Zi Tong nodded.
Hearing her response, Lin Yun felt a touch of emotion in his heart.
Even accounting for the time difference between the One Thought Clarity Tower and the outside world, more than ten years had passed out here. Had she truly stayed here the whole time, watching over him?
“You have worked hard.” Lin Yun said earnestly.
“This is no hardship at all. By the way, how has your comprehension gone? Have you reached Supreme? I did not sense any movement whatsoever. It is fine if you have not broken through yet. I believe it will not take you long.” Zi Tong comforted him.
Since Lin Yun had broken through inside the One Thought Clarity Tower, she naturally could not sense any activity.
“I have broken through. I have successfully stepped into Supreme.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“You… you have really reached Supreme? I was standing outside the door the entire time, and I did not sense the slightest movement.” Zi Tong stared at Lin Yun, her face full of disbelief.
“Really.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Yun directly released his powerful Supreme realm aura.
The terrifying Supreme realm aura instantly swept through everything.
“Such powerful aura fluctuations. Lin Yun, you… you have truly stepped into Supreme!”
“Wonderful. Congratulations! From this moment on, you stand among the very pinnacle of the Human Clan!”
Zi Tong excitedly offered her congratulations to Lin Yun.
“Though I have stepped into Supreme, the path ahead remains long and arduous.” Lin Yun sighed.
Supreme might represent the pinnacle among the Human Clan in the Ancestral Land, yet threats from other Supremes still loomed.
Even the former Master of the Infinite Heavenly Palace had fallen, had he not?
“Our Elf Clan will definitely support you!” Zi Tong said, her face lit with a beautiful, enchanting smile.
“Now that I have stepped into Supreme, I should go and see the Clan Leader.” Lin Yun said.
“Good. We will go together!”
With that, Zi Tong led Lin Yun to meet the Elf Clan Leader.
Inside the grand hall of the palace.
Lin Yun and Zi Tong entered from outside.
“Clan Leader.” Lin Yun bowed towards the figure ahead.
“Lin Yun, I heard that for these past ten-odd years you have remained in Zi Tong’s palace quarters. How has the nurturing of your relationship progressed?” The Clan Leader asked with a smile as soon as he saw Lin Yun.
At these words, both Lin Yun and Zi Tong felt a trace of embarrassment.
“Clan Leader, all these years I have been cultivating in Zi Tong’s training chamber.” Lin Yun explained.
Zi Tong hurriedly added, “Grandfather, I have good news for you. Lin Yun has successfully broken through his bottleneck and stepped into Supreme!”
“Oh? Lin Yun, you have stepped into Supreme?” The Clan Leader revealed a look of surprise.
“Yes, Clan Leader.”
As the words fell, Lin Yun immediately released his powerful realm aura.
“It truly is the aura of Supreme. Haha, excellent!”
Upon sensing this aura, the Clan Leader rose to his feet at once, a delighted smile spreading across his face.
When Lin Yun had first come to the Elf Clan to rescue someone, the Clan Leader had invited him to return as a guest once he reached Supreme.
He had done so because he knew in his heart that only after Lin Yun truly stepped into Supreme would any cooperation between the Elf Clan and Lin Yun hold real significance.
After all, the chance of remaining stuck at a bottleneck and never breaking through to Supreme was extremely high.
If Lin Yun could never reach Supreme in his lifetime, the matter would be meaningless.
Only after Lin Yun won the pinnacle tournament and gained the opportunity in the Chaos Realm did the Clan Leader change his view.
Now that Lin Yun had formally stepped into Supreme, the Clan Leader was naturally overjoyed. He could finally place all his hopes for cooperation firmly on Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, your ascension to Supreme is a cause for great celebration. Why not make it double joy? Let us choose a date soon and hold the grand wedding for you and Zi Tong. What do you say?” The Clan Leader said with a smile.
At these words, Lin Yun and Zi Tong could not help but glance at each other.
“Before that, I will ask you both once more. Do either of you have any objections?” The Clan Leader inquired.
“Grandfather, I… I have no objections.” Zi Tong said, lowering her head with a slight blush of shyness.
“I have none either.” Lin Yun replied without further hesitation.
Hearing this answer, Zi Tong’s heart instantly felt as sweet as honey.
She had finally received Lin Yun’s agreement.
“Haha, good!”
When the Clan Leader heard such firm responses, he cheered joyfully once more.
For the Clan Leader, now that Lin Yun had personally agreed, this matter could at last be accomplished.
“Lin Yun, the dowry our Elf Clan offers will certainly not fully satisfy you. If there is anything you need, feel free to speak. From now on, we are one family, sharing both prosperity and hardship!” The Clan Leader said.
