Chapter 606: Chapter 601: Promotion 1

Lin Xin didn’t need to fight using the Green Yuan Decision, so the Divine Skills that came with it didn’t matter much to him. What he sought was to clear the path ahead and point the way with the Green Yuan Decision.

Taoist Intent and Realm were things he had already comprehended long ago.

Several more years passed.

From Golden Core to Yuan Jing, he chose the mountain spirit-like Yuan Jing that matched well with the Green Yuan Decision, something he had comprehended during his previous realization of the Thousand Heart Taoist Intent.

Then he rose rapidly in level. The Yuan Jing Level placed extreme importance on Realm, ironically making it the quickest level to enhance.

Lin Xin only took three years to cultivate Yuan Jing to Perfection, then stepped into the Polar Region, which is the Human Immortal level.

From practicing the Green Yuan Decision to his present recovery to the Human Immortal Realm, Lin Xin took only ten years.

Another half year passed, and he successfully raised the Green Yuan Decision to the Second Realm, which was also his current limit....

And finally, the Third Realm was thoroughly within his reach.

Combining the Green Yuan Decision with the Pure Blood Power of the Chanting Star Clan, facing the Third Realm, he didn’t feel any bottleneck at all.

And the first person to break through the limits of their own bloodline and move up in level, becoming a True Disciple, was almost a certainty.

The Third Realm of the Human Immortal, this was also recorded according to the Jade Talisman information in the Green Lake Mountain Qing Shan Realm.

After a pureblood breaks through their own limit, they can officially mark their robes according to the standard of a Spirit Vein.

With the breakthrough of the Third Realm imminent, Lin Xin stood up and headed straight for the Heavenly Evolution Tower. He didn’t notify anyone but quietly went there alone.

Experiencing the Heavenly Evolution inside the tower was greatly beneficial to his breakthrough. And for so long, he had completely relied on the income of his four servants to support his daily expenses; it was time to complete his tasks and earn his own Contribution Points to be self-sufficient after securing the True Disciple status.

******************

The Heavenly Evolution Tower.

Within the immensely spacious body of the tower, a cylindrical, vertical space contained a ten-plus meter wide crimson pillar of fire, fiercely blazing with a whooshing sound.

The pillar of fire was slightly translucent, allowing one to see traces resembling eels crawling inside, appearing then disappearing on the inner surface.

These traces appeared and vanished exceedingly quickly, and they often crossed each other in a chaotic manner. They looked like writing and yet like scribbles too.

Around the fire pillar was a spiral of staircases, upon which stood a sparse crowd of numerous cultivators. Each cultivator’s face was baked to a reddish hue, eyes unblinkingly fixated on the traces on the fire pillar, occasionally jotting down insights on paper.

On the fifth spiral staircase from the bottom stood a girl in a white dress, wrapped in a white cloak, donning a white mask. Her figure was slender, and she appeared somewhat bored as she watched the fire pillar.

"What’s so interesting about the simulation of the Qing Mountain fire column? Even if one can comprehend the Demon Marks left by the Demon Gods, could a disciple of the great Taoist Sect really cultivate them?"

She felt increasingly bored in her heart.

While bored, she casually surveyed the other cultivators around her who came to watch. Only core disciples and a few very wealthy formal disciples could afford the Contribution Points to observe.

But all of them had an obsessed look, which bored her even more.

"I thought it was the simulation of the Sea of Consciousness Vortex. I didn’t expect to get the time wrong. Annoying."

The girl’s brows furrowed slightly, and she turned around, preparing to leave.

To others, the evolving Heavenly Evolution Tower was a great opportunity, but to her, it was nothing more than a slightly peculiar natural landscape simulation.

Without hesitation, she turned and walked down the stairs.

When she reached the third spiral, her steps suddenly paused, seeing a somewhat familiar figure standing at the balustrade of the staircase, observing the fire pillar with great earnestness.

"It’s that Fifth Rank Chanting Star Clan pureblood!" The girl’s mind instantly flashed back to the scene she had seen with her master.

The formidable man with twelve wings and white light in his eyes, bowing slightly toward her and her master.

This selection brought out quite a few purebloods of Fifth Rank, and she had observed most of them.

But none left as deep an impression as this man and that disgusting man.

She glanced over at this man, clad in the Sect’s green robe without any engravings, with handsome features. Though obviously younger than her and quite youthful, he possessed an unusually composed demeanor, without a trace of youthfulness.

"The Chanting Star Clan is a taboo clan of legends, the Purifying Force... this force is said to be on par with father’s Void Power..."

No, that’s not right.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly. Habitually probing with the secret methods of the Qing Shan Realm, she discovered that the other party’s cultivation level had already reached the Human Immortal level!

"How is that possible!?"

Her steps halted completely, and as she stood behind the man, her beautiful eyes brimmed with shock, trembling, and a surge of resentment.

"How could he advance so fast!? Even that person is only at the peak of Yuan Jing now... having used a large number of Boundary-Breaking Pills and likely unable to advance for at least a thousand years. How could he...!"

The girl’s heart was filled with curiosity and a bit of discomfort.

She had heard tales of geniuses leaping across many realms that ordinary people couldn’t cross in a lifetime. She had always regarded them as exaggerations, just myth.

But now that such a person truly appeared before her, she realized that the rumors had a basis.

About the same age, she had barely reached Human Immortal by using up countless resources, treasures, and wealth from her teacher, barely assimilating her father’s Immortal Soul.

And he simply took so little time to...

"Qing Shan Realm... Qing Shan Realm..." The girl clenched her fists, unwilling to accept it. The Qing Shan Realm should have been inherited by her father.

But at this moment, seeing this man’s talent, she had a faint premonition that perhaps in the future, the Qing Shan Realm might truly change hands...

Shh!

Suddenly, a slight leakage of aura emanated from the man.

The girl was shocked, her eyes revealing a look of disbelief.

"Breakthrough?!"

Her eyes widened as she stared at the man’s back, unnoticed by everyone around, under the cover of the immense pressure from the fire pillar of the Heavenly Evolution Tower.

This man... actually broke through directly?!

The Human Immortal, also known as the Polar Region, is a terrifying level that combines speed with slowness.

Just moments ago, the girl had sensed a whiff of the Human Immortal Third Realm, the aura of emptiness, emanating from this man.

So quickly...

Jealousy surged from the depths of her heart, gnawing at her soul.

She had worked so hard for so long, suffered so much, only to inherit her father’s immortal soul.

Yet this man before her easily broke through to the Third Realm of the Human Immortal, almost catching up to the realm of her own divine soul.

And up until now, she could only use her divine soul as a magic artifact.

The gap between them...

Unable to watch any longer, the girl turned and quickly left.

******************

Lin Xin was immersed in his breakthrough.

The Third Realm had been loosening for a long time, so breaking through now was simply the natural course of events.

The huge fire pillar had traces that constantly shifted, containing a large number of special markings similar to ancient symbols from the Underworld.

The information contained within was chaotic, mostly useless to him, but a very small part evolved into a process where the fire system energy was continuously elevated and evolved.

It was as if thousands of years of transformation were encapsulated within just a few hours.

Having spent all his Spirit Jade to come in and observe once, the gains were tremendous.

The natural breakthrough of the Third Realm didn’t really leak any aura.

Staring at the fire pillar, Lin Xin’s thoughts raced, flashing thousands of times in an instant.

This was the difference between extreme speed and extreme slowness.

It was the characteristic of the Third Realm, emptiness.

Reaching this realm, whether it was martial techniques or other techniques, one could gradually approach perfection.

Whenever he wished, everything around him in his consciousness would become extremely slow or even near a standstill.

Facing any attack, a Human Immortal of the Third Realm could react perfectly in the shortest time.

In other words, there was no concept of being caught off guard for a Human Immortal of this realm.

After briefly experiencing the strength of the Third Realm, Lin Xin no longer focused on the novelty brought by the breakthrough. Instead, he carefully continued to observe the markings on the fire pillar.

These markings were said to represent the demon marks left by the Ancient Demon Gods.

There were many divine and demonic symbols, runes, and some could even resonate from the endless universe, summoning terrifying ancient beings never seen before.

However, after watching for a while, Lin Xin felt that many were traces of the fire system spell methods and divine skills, which weren’t much help to him. Some evolved repeatedly, while others evolved simple spell methods in the most complicated ways.

Feeling tired from watching, he finally understood that all his arduous effort had resulted in the simplest fire system divine skills.

After a few such instances, he didn’t look any further. Instead, he began to descend along the spiral staircase.

Exiting the Heavenly Evolution Tower, he found the Teleportation Stele beside the tower and walked over to press it.

"Scholar’s Courtyard."

Such important locations could only be accessed through Teleportation Steles.

So even though he spent two more Spirit Jade, it was a necessary expense. As long as he didn’t excessively expose the wealth of Spirit Jade he brought out from the Underworld, it was fine.

His vision blurred, and a deep blue wall appeared in front of him.

Lin Xin looked around, standing on a white disk in a very narrow cylindrical room.

In front of him was a gray curtain with a large unfamiliar white symbol.

He lifted the curtain, and beyond was a circular hall.

With no windows or doors, the hall was completely enclosed. Inside, about a dozen people were scattered about, some talking, some sitting and reading, some busy at a desk, emitting various smokes and halos.

In the middle of the hall was a blue round pool, with clear flowing water, where at the bottom lay golden fish with two or three tails.

Upon entering, he immediately noticed that not far ahead, seven or eight people were queuing up at the entrance of a small room.

Next to the room’s door hung a sign that read: "Task Handling."

"If you are queuing to handle tasks, please wait there with them," said a petite girl with big ears politely.

"Alright."

Lin Xin also walked over to stand at the end of the line.

The line moved quickly, and the seven or eight people were done in just a quarter of an hour.

It was almost Lin Xin’s turn. He entered the small door to find a counter with a sweet-smiling, beautiful long-haired girl behind it.

"Are you here to request guidance or to undergo a qualification review?"
