“Palace master, this… this is Miss Zitong?” Zou Dongsheng looked towards Zitong.
“Yes, I was just about to introduce her.” Lin Yun said.
“Madam palace master, greetings. My name is Zou Dongsheng. I am the grand elder of the Infinite Heavenly Palace.” Zou Dongsheng hurriedly bowed to Zitong.
“There is no need for such courtesy, grand elder.” Zitong returned a smile, graceful and poised.
After all, Zitong was a lady of the elf clan. Her etiquette was naturally impeccable.
At that moment, Flying Shadow Golden Lord and Destruction Golden Lord also flew over.
“Lin Yun, you have finally returned.” The two landed in front of Lin Yun.
They too had been worried about Lin Yun during this time.
“Lin Yun, on this trip to the nine human domains, did the six major forces cause you any trouble?” Destruction Golden Lord asked.
“They did. To be precise, I accidentally entered the God-Slaying Gate’s lair and fought the God-Slaying Gate Master.” Lin Yun stated frankly.
“What?”
At these words, Zitong, Zou Dongsheng, Flying Shadow Golden Lord, and Destruction Golden Lord were all startled.
“Lin Yun, you did not suffer any loss, did you? You entered the God-Slaying Gate. How did you get back?” Zitong asked urgently.
“Of course I suffered no loss. Though the God-Slaying Gate Master is a Golden Supreme, unfortunately he lacked the strength to detain me. By the way, I even seized his source artefact along the way.”
Lin Yun flipped his hand and revealed the God-Slaying Gate Master’s source artefact long blade.
“This…”
Hearing this, the group was dumbfounded.
Had Lin Yun not said it himself, they would never have believed it.
“Palace master, does this mean you can now fight a Golden Supreme?” Destruction Golden Lord exclaimed in shock.
“Indeed I can, though only to exchange blows. I am still unable to defeat a Golden Supreme.” Lin Yun said.
“To cross realms and fight within the supreme level is already remarkable. Every supreme was once a monstrous genius. None are weak in any aspect, and each has their own strengths. Moreover, the gaps between each realm among supremes are vast.” Destruction Golden Lord said.
“By the way, palace master, did you find the item?” Zou Dongsheng asked.
Zou Dongsheng naturally knew that Lin Yun’s trip to the nine human domains was to seek a Heart of the Source.
“I obtained it, and this Heart of the Source can convert energy, thereby aiding my cultivation.” Lin Yun said.
“Truly? It can function even at the supreme realm?” Zou Dongsheng asked joyfully.
“Yes, though the quantity of energy required is staggering. I estimate that reaching Golden Supreme will need at least several million Haoyue crystals.” Lin Yun sighed.
“Palace master, this is already excellent. You now possess a direct shortcut to rapid advancement!” Zou Dongsheng said happily.
“Indeed. To have a means of rapid advancement at the supreme realm is something we supremes have never heard of. Lin Yun, you truly have extraordinary fortune.” Flying Shadow Golden Lord and Destruction Golden Lord also marvelled.
They were genuinely envious.
Next, Lin Yun introduced Zitong to Flying Shadow Golden Lord and Destruction Golden Lord.
They naturally welcomed Lin Yun’s arrival enthusiastically.
After chatting with them for a while, Lin Yun took Zitong back to his sleeping chambers.
Lin Yun’s chambers were spacious, with a dedicated living room, cultivation room, and bedroom.
From now on, this would also be Zitong’s residence.
After some tender moments with Zitong, Lin Yun entered the cultivation room.
Lin Yun’s next goal was simple: break through to Golden Supreme as soon as possible.
This time he had obtained one hundred and thirty billion Haoyue crystals from the elf clan, so Lin Yun could cultivate properly. He also had some remaining in his possession.
In the cultivation room.
Lin Yun piled a vast quantity of Haoyue crystals before him, then activated the Heart of the Source to absorb them.
The energy from the Haoyue crystals was devoured by the Heart of the Source, converted through it into another pure and special form of energy, which ultimately flowed into his supreme sea.
…
Under this absorption and conversion, time passed quietly. Lin Yun’s realm advanced steadily.
At the current efficiency, Lin Yun could absorb twenty million Haoyue crystals per day.
Absorbing one hundred billion Haoyue crystals would take around five hundred days.
Lin Yun was already very satisfied with this efficiency. After all, cultivation at the supreme level was inherently extremely time-consuming.
During Lin Yun’s seclusion, Zitong also cultivated in the bedroom.
After three months of seclusion, Lin Yun suddenly received a message from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion master, informing him to visit the pavilion.
“It seems a buyer has appeared.” Lin Yun revealed a smile.
