As winter came, snow began to fall on the Jade Spirit Mountain.
The Jade Spirit Mountain's array did not isolate the snowflakes. It allowed the magnificent mountains to be covered in snow.
The snow-covered Jade Spirit Mountain had a different kind of beauty to it.
Looking down from high up in the sky, there was an endless white snowy plain. The snowy peaks were like huge heavenly pillars that reached into the clear blue sky.
These mountain peaks stretched out like an ancient dragon or snake, twisting in the sea of clouds.
And on the mountain peaks, there was a spirit spring that never froze all year round. It was like a faintly discernible jade belt that scattered down the cliffs, turning into countless pearls that fell into the clouds and disappeared.
With the opening of the Great Empress mystic realm at hand, Yi Yun encountered such a heavy snowfall the moment he came out of seclusion. Seeing the scenery in front of him, it was like a paradise on earth, like a poem or a painting.
Yi Yun had already received the Matriarch's voice transmission. All the Lin family juniors that were entering the Great Empress mystic realm were to gather at the Cloud Protruding peak.
The Cloud Protruding peak was one of the Lin family's 18 main peaks. It was usually the place where the Lin family's younger generation trained and grew.
Usually, the juniors would cultivate at the Cloud Protruding peak. Many of the juniors lived in the back mountains of the Cloud Protruding peak for convenience in cultivation.
Upon arriving at the Cloud Protruding peak, Yi Yun immediately felt the mountain peak was filled with vitality. Ignoring everything else, there were dozens of martial arts arenas in the Cloud Protruding peak.
On those martial arts arenas, the elites of the younger generation were sparring. Saber flashes and swords flashed as Yuan Qi surged.
The snowflakes on the ground were blown into the air by the Yuan Qi. There were many empty spaces on the martial arts arenas that were not covered by snow. They looked like huge flower patterns.
Yi Yun headed straight for the main hall of the Cloud Protruding peak. This main hall was the gathering place.
When he was still a distance away from the main hall, Yi Yun suddenly heard the ferocious roar of a wild beast!
This sound was so deafening that it numbed one's eardrums. With a thought, Yi Yun followed the sound and arrived at the back of the Cloud Protruding peak's main hall.
Upon seeing the back of the hall, Yi Yun was slightly alarmed.
In the square in the back of the hall, there was a huge Frost Metal Cage.
This Frost Metal Cage was about a hundred meters long and wide. It was as tall as a three-story building. The bars of the Frost Metal Cage were as thick as a wrist. They were like metal pillars. There were all sorts of complicated runes engraved on the steel. This was clearly a kind of formation.
Inside the cage, there was a fierce desolate beast about seven to eight meters long. It looked ferocious and looked like a saber-toothed tiger.
Yi Yun did not recognize the desolate beast's species, but from its aura, it was likely an extremely powerful desolate beast.
And at this moment, there was a person fighting with the desolate beast in the cage.
Yi Yun happened to know this person. He was Lin Yu.
Lin Yu held a four-foot-long sword that was stained with blood. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn in many places. There were even several wounds on his body.
"Ding ding ding!"
The blade clashed with the desolate beast's claws. Lin Yu moved around the Frost Iron Cage, searching for the desolate beast's weakness. He constantly left wounds on the desolate beast's body.
Being provoked repeatedly by Lin Yu, the desolate beast was enraged to the extreme.
"Roar!"
After being stabbed in the back of its neck by Lin Yu, the Saber-toothed Tiger disregarded everything and pounced at Lin Yu. Its sharp teeth that were suffused with a cold light were about to pierce through Lin Yu's neck. But at this moment, Lin Yu's figure crouched, and the sword in his hand stabbed out, causing sword energy to whistle out!
"Puah!"
The sword's blade stabbed into the Saber-toothed Tiger's soft abdomen, causing blood to spurt out. Lin Yu's sword had nearly pierced through the Saber-toothed Tiger!
Following that, Lin Yu's body flipped and he kicked upwards, hitting the Saber-toothed Tiger's jaw.
The Saber-toothed Tiger wailed as its body tumbled backwards, slamming heavily onto the ground.
Its body convulsed as it was seriously injured. Clearly, it could no longer fight.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Lin family steward in charge of the Cloud Protruding peak immediately opened the cage. He restrained the Saber-toothed Tiger and carried it away.
This desolate beast was reared by the Lin family in captivity. It was specially used to train young disciples.
Desolate beasts were not easy to capture, so they would usually avoid killing them in battle. They would recuperate from their injuries before using them again.
Fighting with an enraged desolate beast in a cage was an extremely dangerous trial. Most of the time, it was not the desolate beast that was seriously injured, but the Lin family disciples.
Even with the protection of the Lin Family's deacons, there were times when a young disciple accidentally died in the mouth of a beast. It was a rare occurrence.
"Brother Yu is awesome!"
"In just five minutes, a Mystic Lin Tiger has been defeated by Brother Yu. It was so easy!"
Around the cage, there were many young juniors watching. A few of them were clearly Lin Yu's lackeys. Seeing Lin Yu display his prowess, they immediately surrounded him to suck up to him.
"It's just a young Mystic Lin Tiger. Defeating it is nothing to be proud of. The danger in the Great Empress mystic realm far exceeds this. My strength is still insufficient."
Lin Yu casually wiped the tiger blood off his sword. He did not care about his lackey. Instead, his eyes drifted to the other youths present. These youths were also sent by the Lin family to participate in the Great Empress mystic realm's trial.
These people were his companions, but they were also his opponents!
Lin Yu knew very well that in terms of absolute strength, he was far inferior to these people. After all, the difference in cultivation level was obvious. However, in terms of talent at the same cultivation level, he believed that his strength exceeded these people.
For this Great Empress mystic realm, he had put in all his effort. He planned on making some achievements, so that everyone could see it.
As he was thinking, the hand that was wiping the blood with suddenly stiffened. His hands subconsciously sank, and the straight sword blade was slightly bent from the pressure.
He saw a person in the crowd, Yi Yun.
Lin Yu squinted his eyes. He could not help but look at Yi Yun with a hint of fighting spirit and provocation in his eyes.
Beside Lin Yu, the youths that looked like lackeys were still excited. Just as they were about to say something, they noticed the change in their "big brother"'s expression. Only then did they realize that something was amiss. They also looked at Yi Yun.
"Eh? Who is this kid? "
The lackeys were stunned. They did not know why their big brother was suddenly paying attention to this person.
Many of the Lin family disciples present had only seen Yi Yun wearing a mask. Not many of them had seen Yi Yun's true appearance.
"Yi Yun! He is Yi Yun! "
Someone in the crowd said. Immediately, the Lin family juniors were slightly stunned.
They had long heard of Yi Yun's name, and today, they finally saw him in person.
"So he is Yi Yun. It is this person who performed meritorious deeds at the Relic Trial, and was recognized by Matriarch Lin."
"That's right. I heard that Yi Yun came from a place called the Tai Ah Kingdom in the Backwater East. For him to reach such a position in the Lin family, it is indeed not easy. However, this is also due to luck."
To the Tian Yuan world warriors, the remote lands in the east were collectively known as the "Backwater". There were many countries in the Backwater, and the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom was just one of them.
Very few Tian Yuan world warriors paid attention to the Backwater countries, such as the Yun Long Divine Kingdom or the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. They felt that they were just a blob on the map. As for the names of these countries and their characteristics, they did not know, nor could they be bothered to find out.
Some of the people present knew of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom because of Yi Yun. However, the word "Divine Kingdom" had been subconsciously changed to "Kingdom". In their opinion, the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom was not worthy of the word "Divine".
"Yi Yun, we meet again." Lin Yu suddenly spoke. As he walked towards Yi Yun, he slowly wiped the blood off his sword. The scarlet beast blood reflected the sunlight and dripped onto the white snow, making it look even more shocking. To Yi Yun, it was a form of demonstration.
"I heard that you have obtained a spot to enter the Great Empress mystic realm, and you have been in reclusive training until now?" Lin Yu had already walked to a distance of 30 feet from Yi Yun before he stopped. Following Lin Yu were a few Lin family disciples who had obtained a spot to enter the Great Empress mystic realm.
Yi Yun looked at the people present. Other than Lin Xintong, he did not know many of the top martial arts geniuses in the Lin family.
Actually, Yi Yun did not want to have any contact with these people. However, they were after all his teammates who had entered the Great Empress mystic realm. Yi Yun did not want to appear too arrogant and cause their relationship to become stiff.
"Yes … I was lucky to gain some insight, so I have been in reclusive training until now."
"Jade Forest peak's third grade cultivation ground, Heavenly Yang Pavilion. This is a cultivation ground usually used by the family's Elders. You have been in reclusive training for nearly half a year …"
Lin Yu did not continue after he said this. However, people could tell that he was hinting that it was a waste for Yi Yun to use such a cultivation ground. With Yi Yun's cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to bring out the effects of the Heavenly Yang Pavilion. It was a waste of a heavenly treasure.
"At our age, reclusive training for one to two months is already the limit. Any longer than that would be useless. Strength is gained through fighting, not by sitting around and waiting."
"Only by risking your life in a battle will you improve the fastest. Don't tell me you think that the Great Empress mystic realm is just a game? That place is a place where people can die if they are not careful! None of the Lin family disciples who have been selected to enter the Great Empress mystic realm have dared to slack off in the past half a year. They have experienced countless battles with swords and spears. "
Lin Yu said proudly. His words exuded a natural aura. This seemed to be the killing intent and fighting spirit he had formed from fighting desolate beasts for a long period of time.
This aura was infused into his voice, making his words sound powerful. It was very infectious.
His words also gained the approval of many young elites!
These geniuses of the Lin Family revered strength and revered bloody battles. This was the lifestyle that a martial artist, especially a young martial artist, should have.
As for reclusive training for a long period of time, it was usually done by middle-aged people who had used up most of their potential, or old men who found it difficult to make a breakthrough in their cultivation level.
Yi Yun only smiled at Lin Yu's words. He did not defend himself.
Fighting was naturally the best way to increase one's strength. However, when the Purple Crystal and the Great Empress relic's pure Yang energy were combined together, allowing him to be reborn, the benefits were far from what fighting could compare with.
In the five months of reclusive training, Yi Yun's cultivation level had increased by one realm. The greatest benefit he obtained was the purification of his pure Yang body. 90% of the Great Empress relic's energy was used by Yi Yun to transform his body. As for the breakthrough in his cultivation level, it was just a matter of time.
