Chapter 1930: Breakthrough and Battle Against Quasi-Emperors
As soon as they got back, Lin Xun made preparations for going into closed-door cultivation.
The Dao Debate Assembly was in less than half a year. Before then, Lin Xun planned to raise his strength to a greater level!
At the entrance of the blessed spot in Jade Rinse Peak.
“Xuanyue, while I am in closed-door cultivation, I would like to ask you to help me gather information about the Dao Debate Assembly,” Lin Xun ordered.
Standing beside him, Jintian Xuanyue, who was dressed in pure white and as ethereal as a fairy, nodded. “Rest assured, Young Master.”
“Of course, you also must not slack off in your training. I have something for you.”
Lin Xun handed her a jade slip that was imbued with some of his insights and cultivation experiences.
Jintian Xuanyue only took a brief look at it, but a flood of joy already rushed over her face!She knew very well the value of the jade slip. Although it was not a cultivation art nor an inheritance, the experiences and insights contained in it were all invaluable treasures!
After all, Lin Xun was near invincible at the Saint Stage. Otherwise it would have been impossible for him to swoop to victory in the Dao Debate Contest of Cloud State.
“Young Master, thank you.” Jintian Xuanyue raised her beautiful face, her limpid eyes glistening.
Lin Xun responded with a slight smile before he turned around and walked into the heavenly grotto.
“Ancestor is right. Even if I am just a cultivating attendant, it is still a rare opportunity to be able to follow him on his cultivation journey…” Jintian Xuanyue murmured.
As someone with an aloof and proud personality and unrivaled grace and beauty, throughout her cultivation path, she had never admired someone from the heart like she did now.
……
Boom!
Inside the grotto, Lin Xun was sitting cross-legged as all kinds of grand visions projected around him, divine light rained down, and dao sounds rumbled.
This was the first time he had truly secluded himself to practice ever since he traveled across the starry sky on Whirlwind Ship and came to the Primordial Chaos World.
This was for his breakthrough!
As he breathed in and out, the wind seemed to rage and thunder roar. The air currents took the shape of an inhaling and exhaling python-dragon. His entire body was glowing bright and covered with ripples of dao.
Inside his body, essence, qi and energy erupted like a volcano, flowing through his limbs and bones. He radiated an ethereal and boundless aura like that of an immortal being! �
Fortunately, he was in a heavenly grotto protected by many restriction arrays.
Otherwise, the noise from his training alone would have caused clouds to roll across the sky and set off strange phenomena across the world!
This was because Lin Xun’s accumulated cultivation was too powerful and magnificent. His physical strength, cultivation base, and spirit power were all unmatched in the world.
Just as Lin Xun and Jiang Xingque had talked about previously, if he wanted to walk an unprecedented path, he had to first cultivate unprecedented strength!
From this day on, Lin Xun focused solely on his cultivation and was completely unaware of the passage of time.
……
One month later.
Inside the heavenly grotto of Jade Rinse Peak.
A roar that sounded like the explosion when the universe first began resounded from Lin Xun’s body as a rain of light endlessly rushed up from him like streaks of a magnificent rainbow.
Visibly, the aura around him was growing stronger and stronger and all sorts of mysterious visions were projected from him.
For example, a grand abyss swallowing the sky, a great furnace refining the world, and strands of law power intertwining in the air, each one sparkling and dazzling.
Waves of heavenly dao sounds echoed rhythmically like divine beings chanting scriptures.
For a moment, his entire body was enveloped in a holy and majestic aura like an immortal Saint-King descending upon the world.
He broke through!
After a long while, when calmness was restored to the world, Lin Xun opened his eyes. At that moment, it was as if a pair of abysses appeared. Wherever his eyes looked towards, the space crumbled and collapsed, as if it was being swallowed up.
“Advanced Supreme Saint-King Stage…”
Feeling the tremendous power surging within his body, Lin Xun felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment. This is probably why cultivators are so hell-bent on seeking the dao.
This transformation in his cultivation was akin to being reborn from the ashes. Both his body and mind seemed to be elevated to an incredible level.
The feeling was indescribable.
Lin Xun stood up and came out of the grotto.
During the Dao Debate Contest of Cloud State, he was already one step away from breakthrough. Now, he had been in closed-door cultivation for a month, he thought that it was only natural that he succeeded.
Now, he wanted to test out his new power.
Coiled Dragon Peak.
Heng Xiao of Xuanji Dao Sect was temporarily living on this peak during this period.
“Congratulations little friend on your breakthrough. You have made a further step on the path of the great dao!”
At first, Heng Xiao was startled to see Lin Xun show up on Coiled Dragon Peak after only one month of closed-door cultivation. Then, his face lit up with surprise and amazement and he quickly congratulated him.
One month!
The junior martial uncle of our founding ancestor seems to have completely transformed and his cultivation has reached the advanced Supreme Saint King Stage.
The astonishing transformation left Heng Xiao speechless for a good while. He is truly a heaven-defying monster!
“Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I came here just to test out my transformed cultivation,” Lin Xun said with a smile.
Heng Xiao pointed at himself, blinking blankly. “You...don’t tell me you want to spar with me.”
Lin Xun smiled. “Fellow Daoist, if you don’t mind, I would really appreciate your pointers.”
Heng Xiao smiled wryly.
In this world, who at the Saint Stage would ever dare to casually ask a quasi-Emperor for a spar?
However, Heng Xiao would never forget that, long before Lin Xun made this breakthrough, he was already able to single-handedly kill six quasi-Emperor experts!
The thought of that bloody scene still sent shivers down his spine when it came to his mind.
“Hong Yu.” A thought struck Heng Xiao and he summoned Hong Yu, an elder of Xuanji Dao Sect.
“Sect Leader, do you need me for something?”
Very quickly, Hong Yu teleported over.
“Little Friend Jin Duyi has just made a breakthrough and wants to try his improved strength. Come and have a spar with him,” Heng Xiao said with a smile.
As he spoke, he secretly thought to himself, I am the leader of a sect, although I have reached the perfect Quasi-Emperor Stage, what if I lose to Jin Duyi in a match...
What would happen to my reputation?
However, if he asked Hong Yu to take his place, he would not have to worry about this problem.
The corners of Hong Yu’s lips twitched, and his face turned dark. He had also heard about Lin Xun’s formidable feats.
When he heard such a request at such a time, how would he not understand the consequences of this spar?
After drawing a deep breath, Hong Yu smiled stiffly as he tried to refuse, “Sect Leader, you might be unaware but during my recent training, I...”
Heng Xiao interrupted, “It’s just a little spar, stop making excuses.”
Hong Yu pursed his lips knowing that he had no choice but to agree.
“My little friend, this is just a spar, please go easy on me.” He looked helplessly at Lin Xun.
A quasi-Emperor had just asked a supreme Saint-King to go easy on him. If word spread, he would definitely become a laughingstock.
But both Heng Xiao and Hong Yu knew very well that the young man standing in front of them must not be viewed as an ordinary person at all!
Lin Xun was taken aback by the request at first before he said with a smile, “In that case, Fellow Daoist, please don’t hold back at all.”
Hong Yu readily agreed. In fact, he did not dare to hold back.
Seeing this, Heng Xiao specially arranged a secret realm for the two to avoid attention from anyone.
In that case, even if Hong Yu lost, it would not look bad on him…
Very quickly, Lin Xun and Hong Yu entered the secret realm.
Heng Xiao waited outside.
A moment later, Hong Yu’s exasperated voice sounded from the secret realm. “Sect Leader, please quickly summon another assistant. I am no match for Little Friend Jin Duyi!”
Heng Xiao froze. He already can’t hold on?!
It should be noted that Hong Yu was an elder of Xuanji Dao Sect and he possessed the tyrannical strength of the Quasi-Emperor Stage!
Heng Xiao realized something was wrong and quickly sent a message, “Tai Zheng, quickly come here.”
Shua!
The void rippled, and a tall and built figure emerged. It was none other than Tai Zheng, one of the elders of Xuanji Dao Sect and an influential figure at the advanced Quasi-Emperor Stage.
“Go into this secret realm to help Hong Yu,” Heng Xiao urgently instructed. He had no time to explain the reason to him.
Tai Zheng’s eyes widened and he said in surprise, “There’s actually someone giving trouble to Elder Hong Yu. I’ll go take a look!”
His voice was filled with murderous intent, and before it faded, he had already rushed into the secret realm.
Heng Xiao murmured, “Two quasi-Emperors should be able to hold on for a while, right?”
But before long, Tai Zheng’s voice rang from the secret realm, full of shame and anger, “Sect Leader, how could you deceive me like this?!”
Heng Xiao gasped, “Can you two not do it either?”
“No!”
The voices of Hong Yu and Tai Zheng rang out at the same time.
Heng Xiao could not care about anything else and summoned more people, “Jin Jiuling, He Zhu, Shui Qiu...”
He called out three names in one go.
Not long after that, three figures arrived one after another, all of whom were quasi-Emperors of Xuanji Dao Sect.
“He Zhu, you go in first,” Heng Xiao quickly commanded.
He Zhu looked confused, but he still followed the instructions and entered the secret realm.
Meanwhile, Heng Xiao explained to the other two quasi-Emperors, “Little Friend Jin Duyi has just made a breakthrough in his cultivation, so I sent some people to spar with him to confirm his strength.”
Jin Duyi!
Jin Jiuling and Shui Qiu gasped simultaneously. They had also witnessed the sight of Lin Xun singlehandedly killing six quasi-Emperors. How would they not know the consequences of the spar?
Shui Qiu couldn’t help but say aloud, “Sect Leader, I worry that He Zhu can’t do it alone.”
Heng Xiao shook his head, “He’s not alone. Hong Yu and Tai Zheng are already inside.”
“So three elders are taking action together.” Jin Jiuling breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Qiu’s expression dramatically changed. “No, if the three of them can hold on, why would you call us here?”
Jin Jiuling trembled inwardly.
At this moment, Hong Yu’s voice came from the secret realm again, “Not enough, not enough, this kid is too fierce! He’s a monster! Quickly send someone else in!”
The voice was stressed and anxious.
Shui Qiu and the others looked at each other in dismay. Three quasi-Emperors can’t suppress a kid?
Heng Xiao gritted his teeth and suddenly said aloud, “Now that the matter has come to this, we can’t embarrass ourselves!”
He gave a wide wave of his hand. “You two, go in together!”
Shui Qiu and Jin Jiuling felt a rush of indescribable shame. So many quasi-Emperors are working together to suppress a young man at the Supreme Saint Stage…whether we win or lose, it would still be shameful…
Heng Xiao urged impatiently, “What are you doing standing there? Go quickly!”
Shui Qiu and Jin Jiuling exchanged a glance and had no choice but to enter the secret realm.
