… … …
Time flowed by. It was like a white steed flashing past a crack. It was undetectable and untraceable.
Naturally, it had been two years since Lin Ray entered the black hole. There was no news from him nor was there any information from him. Jie Yang, Pi Xiu and the others who were quietly waiting in the Earth Corpse Palace were worried.
Within the Earth Corpse Palace, the Earth Corpses, Human Corpses, Jie Yang … Pi Xiu, Ba Bao and the Jade-faced Rakshasa that Linley had saved earlier had been in a state of cultivation and comprehension ever since Linley had entered the cave.
On the way, when everyone was cultivating, the Earth Corpse walked out of the cave in a sorry state. His face was filled with helplessness and depression. The clothes on his body were tattered and torn. Even the beggars on the street were a lot better than him.
Everyone was curious about why the Earth Corpse had come out, but the one who was even more curious was Linley. Because Linley had gone in with him, and when they came out, only the Earth Corpse was left. Moreover, his attire was so strange. This caused everyone to be puzzled, but also filled with worry.
Although Lin Ray's cultivation was incomparable to everyone, there were too many strong existences in this world. They did not dare to guarantee that Lin Ray would be safe and sound.
The Earth Corpse naturally knew about everyone's suspicions. Then, without waiting for Jie Yang and the others to ask, the Earth Corpse took the lead and spoke about everything that happened in the cave. He did not hide anything. He did not even hide the matter of him being blown away by the heatwave.
After the Earth Corpse spoke about everything that happened in the cave, everyone became silent. After all, they did not participate in this matter. In the end, Jie Yang and the others chose to remain silent.
After that, everyone once again entered into their cultivation. This wait lasted for two years. This was something that Jie Yang and the others did not expect.
"Sigh!"
In the palace, Jie Yang retrieved his martial technique. His eyes moved and opened. A light instantly rushed out from his eyes. After the light passed, his expression became arrogant.
"Lin Ray, why haven't you come out yet? The corrosion of the heatwave has long disappeared from the cave. Why haven't you come out yet? Do you know that everyone is worried about you?" Jie Yang sighed.
He twisted his body and looked around. When he saw that everyone was still cultivating, his heart was filled with depression.
Although he hadn't been with Lin Ray for a long time, ever since he had agreed to join the Xuanzong Sect, Lin Ray had unknowingly become a pillar in his heart, the backbone of his heart.
And now, Lin Ray was not present. In fact, it could even be said that there was no news of him. This caused Jie Yang to not worry at all.
Even after Lin Ray had disappeared for a year, Jie Yang wanted to enter the cave alone to investigate. However, this idea was seen through by the Pi Xiu who was at the side. In the end, the Pi Xiu opened its mouth and stopped Jie Yang's idea. Before it could even be implemented, it was strangled in the cradle.
However, now, after two years, seeing that Lin Ray still hadn't appeared, this thought once again appeared in Jie Yang's heart.
He looked at the pitch-black cave before him. In the past, there were still heatwaves coming out from it. However, ever since it suddenly disappeared two years ago, there was no longer any heat. It even became like the outside world, extremely gloomy and cold.
Seeing that the surrounding people were still cultivating and did not show any signs of waking up, Jie Yang was unable to endure it anymore. He didn't want to continue waiting like this. He wanted to enter the cave to find Lin Ray's whereabouts.
Although Jie Yang was worried, when he thought of Lin Ray, the fear that originally existed in his heart was completely thrown to the back of his mind.
When he thought of doing it, he immediately did it. After taking a final glance at everyone and confirming that there were no signs of them waking up, Jie Yang stood up and tiptoed like a thief. He did not dare to make the slightest bit of noise. It was as if he was afraid that if he made any big movements, he would wake everyone up.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cave, his heart was firm. Then, he stepped into the cave.
At that moment, Jie Yang was determined to find Lin Ray. He had even prepared for the worst. Even if he were to die, he would not hesitate.
Just like that, Jie Yang's silhouette disappeared from the mountain cave. However, what Jie Yang didn't know was that the instant he stepped into the mountain cave, the Pi Xiu who was cultivating with its eyes tightly closed suddenly opened. Within its pair of blurred eyes, there was a trace of a smile.
Within that smile, there was even more of admiration and admiration.
"Tsk, in the end, he still chose to enter. It seems that I have not misjudged him. Such a person should be very suitable to inherit my body cultivation technique." The Pixiu muttered in its heart.
"Although it is not as exceptional as Lin Ray's body cultivation technique, it is at least one of the best in the world. Even the Azure Lotus Saint did not hesitate to use the Azure Lotus Sword Canon to exchange with me."
After saying that, the Pixiu looked at the cave and lightly laughed. Then, its gaze became firm. "In that case, I will wait for you to come out. I hope that you will not disappoint me."
After saying that, the Pixiu once again entered the cave to cultivate. However, the smile on its face did not disappear for a long time.
As for Jie Yang who had entered the cave, he simply did not know that unknowingly, because of a certain decision, he had obtained an opportunity that others would not be able to obtain in their lifetime. It was even because of this opportunity that he was sent to the peak of the Dao.
Thump thump … Thump thump … Thump thump …
In a pitch-black cave, a naked youth was sitting cross-legged on the ground without anything covering his body. Both of his hands were facing upwards. It was as if he was in a state of cultivation.
On his face, sweat was unceasingly overflowing. However, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was as if he had thought of something happy at that moment.
Within the cave, the sound of a strong heartbeat could be heard. It was as if something was hitting the wall. The sound was so loud that it made one's hair stand up.
"Bang …"
Along with the sound of a heartbeat, a muffled sound could be heard from the youth's body. One could clearly see that when the muffled sound appeared, the youth's body instantly swelled up. It was as if he was a balloon that was filled with air. Then, it immediately deflated.
"Boom …"
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure was emitted from the young man's body. The surrounding stone walls instantly exploded when the enormous pressure appeared.
"Huff …"
A long exhalation sound could be heard from the youth's mouth. His originally closed eyes squirmed at this moment and finally opened completely.
* Swoosh … * A golden light instantly rushed out from his eyes and shot towards a dodging wall not far away.
"Bang … Thump …" Following that, a muffled sound could be heard. The wall that was hit by the golden light had two fist-sized holes in an instant.
The depth of the holes was terrifying. Just two golden lights were able to cause such a powerful bombardment. If it were to hit a person's body, wouldn't it be … wouldn't it be able to kill the person directly?
"I finally made a breakthrough!" The golden light disappeared. His eyes were filled with joy as he said to Nan Ni.
"Yes, you made a breakthrough. It's not bad. After devouring the Yin Flame, you've made a breakthrough from the Early-Stage Hierarch Realm to the Mid-Stage Hierarch Realm in two years. This kind of cultivation speed, I believe that in the Divine Realm … Uh no, even in the Holy Realm, no one can be compared to you." At this moment, an electronically synthesized voice could be heard.
Although the voice was a little stiff, it was filled with concern and admiration.
"Hmm? System! "
At this moment, when he heard the sudden praise, his face couldn't help but blush as he muttered, "So you also know how to praise people. I thought …"
"What did you think?" At this moment, the system spoke again. As for the young man who had spoken earlier, he was none other than Linley who had entered the cave to search for Jie Yang.
"You still think that I'm praising you?" Suddenly, the original praise turned cold.
"Uh … You're not … You're not?"
"No, of course not!" Suddenly, the system's tone changed. Lin Ray was stunned and then he was stunned. He didn't understand what the system meant.
He was clearly fine just now, but now … now he seemed to have changed into a different person.
"You … You …"
"Although you've broken through to the Mid Divine Lord realm in a very short period of time, you must remember that you are not qualified to be proud of yourself, nor are you qualified to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment from breaking through to the Mid Divine Lord realm."
At this moment, before Lin Ray could refute, the system immediately reprimanded him, "You simply don't have enough time right now. Furthermore, you are not allowed to enjoy the feeling of accomplishment from being praised by others. That's because you're still not strong enough. You're still not strong enough to make others fear you, revere you, and call you a god in their hearts."
"There's no other reason other than the fact that you're too weak. That's why everyone looks down on you …"
The system stopped speaking. As for Lin Ray who was listening to the system's reprimand, he sank into a deathly silence. He didn't shut his mouth. He didn't refute the system's reprimand. Instead, he began to ponder.
The reason had nothing to do with him. Lin Ray knew that the system was right. He was still too weak. If it wasn't for the Yin Flame, he would've needed two to three hundred years to break through to the Mid Divine Lord realm.
An ordinary cultivator would need at least a few hundred years to break through to the Ultimate Divine Lord realm.
For someone like Lin Ray who had more than twenty times the energy stored in his body, it would be even more difficult for him to break through. If the system and the Little Dragon were to help him, the time needed to break through would've been even longer.
Therefore, at this moment, Lin Ray clearly knew that he didn't have much time left. It wasn't just because of the two hundred-year mission, but also because of the thousand-year mission. Now, a few hundred years had passed.
If he wanted to break through to the Saint realm, it wouldn't be done overnight.
The space became silent. The quiet space caused Chen Dan to enter a state of contemplation.
Time passed slowly in the silent space. Lin Ray didn't know how much time had passed. The originally silent system spoke again.
This time, the system didn't reprimand him. Instead, its voice was gentle and full of concern.
"Alright, now that you've broken through your cultivation and successfully merged with the Illusory Spirit Blood Fire, the Illusory Spirit Blood Fire has reached an unprecedented height because of the fusion of the two."
Looking at Lin Ray, the system continued, "Now, with your combat power, I believe that a beginner Saint won't be able to defeat you as long as they don't use their Origin Source and the Power of Law."
"Hmm? A Saint? "Hearing the system's words, Lin Ray was stunned for a moment. Then, he sighed.
Lin Ray was very eager to break through to the Saint realm. After all, the thousand-year mission was right in front of him. If he didn't break through as soon as possible, the consequences would be very serious.
Lin Ray doubted that he could bear the consequences because if he didn't complete the mission, his life would come to an end a few hundred years later.
This was something he didn't allow and didn't want to see. He didn't expect his life to come to an end because of this.
If that was the case, Linley hoped that he had been killed by the enemy. At the very least, that would give him some dignity.
"Hmm, although you have such strength, you must remember not to be arrogant. Don't be careless because of this small breakthrough." The system reminded.
"I know, don't worry! I … Don't you know? When did I, Lin Ray, disappoint you and the Little Dragon because of my current strength? "At this moment, Lin Ray's face showed a trace of pride.
The system was speechless after hearing Lin Ray's words. It wasn't that the system didn't want to refute, but because what Lin Ray said was true.
"That's good!"
"You should go out. It's been more than two years. I think the people outside are starting to worry about you. Moreover, you should hurry to the third level of the Ancient Corpse Trove. After all …"
"I know!" Hearing the system's words, Lin Ray didn't wait for the system to finish speaking and interrupted, "After all, you don't have much time now, so hurry up! I won't die from a small poison like you. "
System: "…"
Hearing the system's speechlessness, Lin Ray smiled for a moment, as if he had won a round because of what happened just now.
"Let's go!" He ignored the system, and the system didn't say anything. Just like that, Lin Ray tactfully operated his cultivation and instantly used the Dragon-Subduing Steps. The six Azure Dragons that should have been there merged into one at this moment. Lin Ray was stunned, but he didn't care too much. After all, this kind of cultivation technique didn't have much use for him. It could even be said that it was useless.
Whoosh …
Riding the Azure Dragon, Lin Ray's figure disappeared from the cave in an instant and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
His speed was so fast that it made people's hair stand on end. If the Earth Corpse saw Lin Ray's speed, it would probably open its mouth and have a face full of shock.
Because its speed compared to Lin Ray's was like one was the sky and the other was the earth. Lin Ray was the sky and the Earth Corpse was the earth. The two of them couldn't be compared at all.
"Awoo …"
At this moment, a dragon's roar came from the Azure Dragon under Lin Ray's feet. Regarding this, Lin Ray who was riding the Azure Dragon was stunned because the Azure Dragon didn't have a sound in the past, and there was no such explanation in the cultivation technique's introduction.
Regarding this, Lin Ray smiled slightly and revealed a refreshing feeling in his heart. After all, he had operated the Dragon-Subduing Steps to the extreme, and it could even be said that he had imperceptibly improved it.
On the other side of the cave, in the opposite direction of Lin Ray, a young man was carefully moving forward. As long as there was a slight movement, he would operate his cultivation to be on guard.
This young man was none other than Jie Yang who entered the cave to look for Lin Ray.
At this moment, Jie Yang who was moving forward suddenly felt a powerful energy. Immediately, Jie Yang stopped moving forward and operated his cultivation to be on guard.
