Heaven would let you take some shortcuts, and naturally, it would also make you pay a price.
This kind of power that relied on absorbing other people's energy was usually just a facade.
Even in the early stages of cultivation, one could achieve a qualitative leap.
But often, the price that one had to pay was not something that ordinary people could bear.
After all, when it came to cultivation, the faster the better.
In his previous life, Lin Yun had seen too many so-called geniuses, such as Martial Masters in the morning and King Wu in the evening.
But in the end, how many of them could become Emperor Wu?
If one wanted to become a Martial Emperor, one had to take root and walk down the path step by step.
This was also the reason why Lin Yun's realm did not improve much after absorbing so many energy crystals.
Indeed, from the Sky Martial Continent to the Zone of Chaos, the energy he absorbed was enough to make him reach Wu Huang's realm.
However, this energy contained countless impurities.
Every time Lin Yun used it, he would remove the impurities from the energy, leaving very little energy.
If he did not remove the impurities and only cared about his cultivation speed, it would be a fool's dream to return to Emperor Wu's realm in this lifetime.
It was also because he had this kind of patience that Lin Yun could become one of the experts in the God Domain in his previous life.
Lin Yun could almost conclude that if the Temple Master of the Immortal Temple used the cultivation method of the clan in the Zone of Demons, he would at most reach Wu Sheng's realm in this lifetime, and would not be able to go any further.
"Will it be a little troublesome?" Xiao Yin asked.
"If I face him tomorrow, I will take action." Lin Yun looked at Xiao Yin and gestured for her not to worry.
He did not doubt that Xiao Yin, a level eight Wu Huang, would be able to deal with a level seven Wu Huang, but if the matter involved the Zone of Demons, it would not be a problem that could be solved with the realm.
When the two elders of the Heavenly Mystery Sect heard Lin Yun's words, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"If it's against the Sea God Sect, I won't play," Lin Yun continued.
As for why they didn't attack, Xiao Yin and the others understood. They were conserving their strength.
Although the two elders were Level 2 Wu Huang, they understood that if they were to fight, Lin Yun could kill eight to ten of them. He could pinch them to death with one hand.
Yasuo had also seen Lin Yun's power. Back on the Martial Heaven Continent, he hadn't been able to beat him.
Among the four of them, only Xiao Yin understood Lin Yun's strength the best.
If they were to fight here, the only person who could match up to Lin Yun would be the Sect Leader of the Dragon Tiger Sect, Long Woo-seok.
As the sky darkened, everyone returned to the Longhu Sect.
Long Woo-seok arranged a residence for each of the Sects, and after a day of fighting, everyone chose to go back and rest, preparing to rest up and watch the rare battle tomorrow.
A bright moon quietly climbed into the sky, and two gongs and drums sounded.
"The weather is dry! Watch out for Huo Zhu! " A night watchman passed by the Longhu Sect, and saw that the lights inside had been extinguished, and was slightly puzzled.
After all, the Longhu Sect's lights were not extinguished all year round, and it was indeed strange for them to extinguish their lights at the second watch.
But then, the night watchman smiled and shook his head. He was just a mortal, he didn't have the right to care whether the lights were extinguished or not.
Sect Leader Long treated the people like his own children. If not for Long Woo-seok, this Longhu Mountain would have long become the territory of the Assassins.
"The weather is dry! Watch out for Huo Zhu! "
Indeed, all the lights in the Longhu Sect had been extinguished. Long Woo-seok had ordered everyone to have a good rest tonight.
Only in the room where Long Woo-seok was, a light was lit, and two figures were reflected on the screen window.
Long Woo-seok placed his hands behind his back, and looked at the man in front of him.
The man leaned against the door, and led his body into the darkness.
"I'll have to trouble Sect Leader Long for the battle tomorrow." The man said coldly.
"We're just taking what we need." Long Woo-seok replied.
"I hope Sect Leader Long won't go back on his words. After all, you should know that the world has changed. "The man's tone carried a hint of threat.
Long Woo-seok did not care about the man's rudeness, even though he could easily crush the man to death with just one hand.
The man left, quietly and soundlessly in the darkness.
Long Woo-seok frowned as he stared at the darkness, and remained silent.
After a while, Long Woo-seok smiled, and with a flick of his finger, the flame on the table was extinguished.
The next morning.
The crowd had gathered at the back of Longhu Mountain early in the morning.
Everyone was excited, and rubbed their palms together. At their cultivation level, what they needed was a better understanding of Immortal Qi and Yuan Qi, and not cultivation.
It was rare for them to have a grand battle, and they could understand things that they had never understood before.
Therefore, these people came to the back of the mountain early in the morning, and snatched a good spot so that they could see clearly.
When the array formation lit up again, and disappeared, the name of the Heavenly Mystery Sect appeared in the sky again.
When everyone saw it, they were speechless, and they covered their foreheads.
How could it be such a coincidence that the Heavenly Mystery Sect was the first to fight in every match?
They would not believe that it was not Long Woo-seok's doing.
It was rare that Xiao Yin did not flare up this time. She only stared at Long Woo-seok with her cold eyes.
Long Woo-seok curled his lips, and revealed a cold smile.
"The first match, the Heavenly Mystery Sect against the Sea God Sect!"
The Heavenly Mystery Sect would fight against the Sea God Sect, and the remaining Undying Sect would naturally have to face the Longhu Sect.
A strange glint flashed across Shi Li's face, and then it became calm again.
The Sect Master of the Sea God Sect, who was at the side, waved his hand. Then, one of the four elders standing behind him walked into the ring.
"First-level Wu Huang …"
"Seems like that handsome guy is going to fight again!"
"There's no suspense in this match again!"
The onlookers discussed softly. After all, Lin Yun had defeated the first-level Wu Huang previously.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Yun closed his eyes and leaned against the tree to rest. Elder Zhou, who was behind him, walked around Lin Yun and walked into the ring.
The Sect Master of the Sea God Sect frowned and looked at Lin Yun with a puzzled expression.
In the first three matches, Lin Yun was the only one who fought.
That was the reason why he sent a first-level Wu Huang to test his strength.
Even though they had already reached the top four, he still knew his own limits. He knew that Xiao Yin, the eighth-level Wu Huang, was present, and they would not be able to win this battle.
What he wanted to do now was to be like the Sect Master of the Iron Claw Sect. He wanted to exhaust the people of the Heavenly Mystery Sect and then fight himself.
After all, as a fifth-level Wu Huang, he believed that apart from Xiao Yin, the rest of the people in the Heavenly Mystery Sect should not be his match.
