After spending nearly three years in the One Thought Mind Clarity Tower, Lin Yun had used up all his Bright Moon Crystal Stones.
His realm had also seen tremendous improvement.
Inside the One Thought Mind Clarity Tower.
“I estimate that with another ninety or a hundred billion Bright Moon Crystal Stones, I could fully step into Golden Supreme,” Lin Yun murmured.
But how to obtain that money remained unknown. There was still one source artefact that had not yet found a buyer.
“Then I will cultivate other aspects first, training while waiting for a buyer,” Lin Yun murmured.
Even without advancing his realm, Lin Yun still had many areas he could improve.
He had already opened eight divine veins. His physical body realm could be raised, though it would take considerable time. His divine sense realm could likewise be elevated, but it would require even more time, a very long period.
All these needed time to settle. After all, Lin Yun had only recently entered the supreme realm. He had not yet had sufficient time to cultivate these aspects.
Currently, his divine sense was at the first tier of the Immeasurable level. Lin Yun resolved to focus on cultivating divine sense first.
…
One year later.
In two more months, the first Infinite Grand Tournament would be held at the Infinite Heavenly Palace.
“Lin Yun.”
Lin Yun, who was cultivating, heard Zi Tong’s voice.
He immediately returned to the training chamber and went to open the door.
“Lin Yun, a beastman powerhouse named Mu Li has come looking for you. He says he has important matters to discuss,” Zi Tong said.
“Brother Mu Li? Where is he?” Lin Yun asked hurriedly.
“He is waiting for you in the main hall,” Zi Tong replied.
“Good, I will go at once.”
After speaking, Lin Yun headed straight to the main hall of the Infinite Heavenly Palace.
In the main hall.
When Lin Yun entered, Mu Li was already waiting.
“Brother Mu Li, sorry to keep you waiting,” Lin Yun said with a smile, striding quickly to him.
“Brother Lin Yun, I heard that the Infinite Heavenly Palace has recently taken in a human supreme. Congratulations,” Mu Li said in a deep, resonant voice.
“Your news travels fast. By the way, Brother Mu Li, I heard you came this time with important business to discuss. What is it?” Lin Yun asked.
Since Mu Li had sought him out personally, Lin Yun believed it must be something significant.
“Brother Lin Yun, the truth is I have a request,” Mu Li said, seeming somewhat hesitant.
“Brother Mu Li, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it. No need to stand on ceremony. Do not treat me as an outsider,” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“Very well, Brother Lin Yun, I will be direct. As you know, ever since I obtained the Scarlet Cloud Heart, I have been steadily expanding territory within the beastman clan over these years. My goal is to unify the entire beastman clan,” Mu Li said.
He continued, “Now, I control half the beastman clan’s territory. The other half is held by the race that was once the strongest among the beastmen. According to my original plan, I had no intention of going to war with them in the near term. I planned to maintain the current situation, each side holding half, while I used the Scarlet Cloud Heart to continue strengthening myself.”
“But they have learned that I possess the Scarlet Cloud Heart. They fear that if they leave me alone, I will keep growing stronger and eventually threaten them. So they have chosen to declare war on me directly.”
“They have already declared war on you?” Lin Yun asked in surprise.
“Yes. Their overall strength is greater than mine, so they have decided to strike before I become even stronger. This time, I have come to you, Brother Lin Yun, to ask for reinforcements,” Mu Li said.
By this point, Lin Yun fully understood.
He immediately declared his stance. “Brother Mu Li, if you are in trouble, I am duty-bound to help. How about this: I will personally lead several supremes from the Infinite Heavenly Palace to support you in this war?”
Back in Chaos City, when Lin Yun was in danger, Mu Li had immediately brought forces to rescue him.
Now that Mu Li needed help, Lin Yun was naturally obliged to assist.
“Brother Lin Yun, the Infinite Heavenly Palace needs you. You do not need to come yourself. Besides, the Infinite Grand Tournament is not far off, and as palace lord you cannot leave. If you could simply lend me three supremes from the Infinite Heavenly Palace, that would be enough for me to launch a counterattack,” Mu Li said.
He quickly added a reassurance. “Rest assured, Brother Lin Yun. I will not put them in danger. I will not have them fight enemies they cannot defeat. I will certainly bring them back safely.”
