The emperor's supernatural power—invulnerable to all kinds of attacks, completes the secret of the character "Xing"!

The next day, the sun was shining brightly.

Lin Dong was still lying in his Immortal Cave, sleeping soundly.

Since the end of the Outer Courtyard's Grand Competition, Lin Dong hadn't had a good day's rest until now.

He was either in a fight or on his way to one—first wiping out the Wang Family, then slaying Evil Cloud, and finally suppressing Yang Dianfeng.

Lastly, he had a drinking session with Elder Hu, which finally allowed him to get some much-needed rest.

He slept for two and a half days straight before finally waking up.

Upon waking, Lin Dong discovered he had actually achieved a Breakthrough in a minor Realm, reaching the fourth level of the Tiangang Realm!

Checking his gluttony points, he saw he actually had 170,000.

Subtracting his original 50,000-plus gluttony points, last night's drinking had added over 100,000 points.

Lin Dong clicked his tongue; eating several days' worth of Demon King meat wasn't as good as one drinking session with Elder Hu: "Drinking is great! Elder Hu's wine is amazing!"

"I need to visit him more often and trick him into giving me more wine!"

Lin Dong was full of energy. He got up, stretched, and sat on a futon in the Immortal Cave. The Tianxing Step transcript and the jinpu fruit appeared in his hands.

Which one should he start with?

Lin Dong felt a bit conflicted.

In the end, he chose the jinpu fruit!

This was simple; eating it would grant a Divine Ability, whereas the Tianxing Step required comprehension.

Most importantly, he had just woken up and was a bit thirsty; he wanted to eat a fruit to quench his thirst.

If anyone knew what he was thinking, they would surely think Lin Dong was a lunatic.

The jinpu fruit contained extremely violent energy. For an ordinary person, taking it meant a slim chance of survival. Even for a King Realm expert, they would have to be cautious and prepare extensively.

And he actually wanted to use it to quench his thirst?

Splurch!

No sooner said than done, Lin Dong took out the golden jinpu fruit and took a bite, his mouth filling with juice.

The sweet juice surged down his throat, and a massive amount of essence exploded within Lin Dong's body, rushing toward his limbs and bones.

The jinpu fruit contained terrifying energy. For others, it might be a life-or-death gamble.

But for Lin Dong, it posed no challenge at all.

The Devouring Heaven Scripture could swallow the Origin essence of the jinpu fruit, refining it to strengthen his body!

His Physical Body strength was increasing, and his Divine Soul power was expanding!

Lin Dong: "System, use the Daily Divine Power Card!"

System: [Ding! Host has consumed the spiritual fruit, jinpu fruit. Consuming Daily Divine Power Card x1. Triggered 100,000-fold critical hit reward. Obtained Emperor-Grade Divine Ability—Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity!]

Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity: Can ignore most Spells and Divine Ability attacks for a short time. When Cultivated to the limit, one can ignore all techniques and laws in the world.

"Emperor-Grade, Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity?"

"Holy crap, as expected of the System! Everything is top-quality!"

With Lin Dong's current cultivation, he should be able to manifest Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity for three seconds.

What made Lin Dong happy was that the System's critical hit reward enhanced the effect of the jinpu fruit. Originally, eating the fruit only gave a chance to comprehend the 'Spell Immunity' Divine Ability, but the System upgraded it to 'Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity,' a Divine Ability several levels higher.

An Emperor-Grade Divine Ability was comparable to a complete Nine Secrets level ability. Something others could only dream of, Lin Dong obtained effortlessly.

What made Lin Dong sigh, however, was that the duration was too short!

That short?

Lin Dong frowned; he didn't want to be a three-second man.

But fortunately, the power of Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity would extend as his cultivation Realm increased.

Even if Lin Dong reached the Saint or Great Emperor level, Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity would still be useful.

But if anyone heard Lin Dong complaining that three seconds of Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity was too short, they would surely think he was crazy.

Three seconds was enough to decide the outcome of a battle.

Imagine if someone was preparing their ultimate move, thinking they could kill Lin Dong in one shot.

Only to find that Lin Dong had Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity, ignoring the ultimate move they were so proud of—what kind of expression would they have?

Or, if the opponent managed to break through Lin Dong's Ten Thousand Laws Intrusion Immunity, only to find that he also had a Physical Body comparable to a True Dragon, they would surely fall into despair.

"Tianxing Step..."

Lin Dong didn't dwell on it and took out the transcript of the Tianxing Step.

The Jini Taimei Step's grade was too low; even with upgrades, it still wasn't fitting for Lin Dong in the Tiangang Realm.

He needed a more powerful movement technique.

Lin Dong hoped the Tianxing Step would give him a pleasant surprise.

Lin Dong opened the transcript and began to comprehend the Tianxing Step.

At that moment, a System notification sounded in his ear: [Ding! Detected that the host is Cultivating the remnant scroll of the Line Character Secret...]

[Would the host like to consume 100,000 gluttony points to complete the Divine Ability, turning it into the Line Character Secret?]

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. The System actually had this kind of function: "Yes!"

For 100,000 gluttony points to complete a top-tier Divine Ability remnant into the Line Character Secret, Lin Dong was making a huge profit.

One must know that even ordinary King-grade or Emperor-grade techniques could be sold for astronomical prices.

Not to mention the legendary Emperor-Grade Divine Abilities, which were priceless and not for sale, existing only within the hands of Imperial clans and similar powers, never shared with outsiders.

[Ding! Host has consumed 100,000 gluttony points to complete the Tianxing Step Divine Ability. Obtained Emperor-Grade Divine Ability—Line Character Secret!]

As Lin Dong's words fell, the System notification sounded again.

Lin Dong felt a vast and majestic memory surge into his mind like a tide.

A figure was treading with profound and mysterious steps, covering thousands of miles in an instant, as if nothing in heaven or earth could bind his pace.

Lin Dong stood up and involuntarily walked out of the Immortal Cave.

Buzz!

He took a step out, and mysterious and profound divine runes appeared floating beneath his feet. Looking closely, his steps were identical to the figure in his mind.

In the next moment, his figure vanished.

In an instant, he appeared high in the sky several miles away, his form so fast it was as if he were tearing through the Void Realm. By pure coincidence, the place Lin Dong appeared was right at the Inner Courtyard's Scripture Pavilion.

"Eh? This is the Scripture Pavilion?"

Lin Dong had just been immersed in his comprehension and hadn't realized he had come to the Scripture Pavilion.

Several miles in an instant.

The speed after Cultivating the Line Character Secret shocked even Lin Dong himself; it had increased his speed by at least five times.

He was confident that even a Purple Palace Realm expert racing against him would only be left eating his dust.

As his strength grew, the speed the Line Character Secret could produce would be even faster.

If Lin Dong comprehended the deepest Profound Truth of the Line Character Secret, he could even be fast enough to turn back time.

Lin Dong looked around and headed toward the Academy. Since he was already out, he might as well go check the mysterious location on the bone.

"Eh?"

"Is that... the Tianxing Step?"

In front of the Scripture Pavilion, Elder Ye, who was guarding the place, seemed to sense something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lin Dong in the sky, his tone somewhat shocked.

"It's actually him?"

"Didn't he just receive the Tianxing Step two days ago?"

"He's only been Cultivating for a few days, and he already has such profound attainment?"

"He's even faster than the Prodigies I've seen who have practiced the Tianxing Step for several years."

Elder Ye's cloudy eyes narrowed, a flash of surprise in his gaze. He clearly recognized Lin Dong as the Disciple who had received the Tianxing Step just two days prior.

Two days ago, he had only thought Lin Dong was stubborn and didn't believe he could comprehend the Tianxing Step at all.

But Lin Dong's speed clearly showed he had comprehended the Tianxing Step to an extremely deep level, even possessing a hint of the world's ultimate speed.

It gave Elder Ye the illusion that Lin Dong had mastered the Line Character Secret.

Elder Ye looked at Lin Dong's departing back and couldn't help but marvel, "This kid's speed actually gives me, a dignified Purple Palace Realm expert, the feeling that I can't catch up..."

"This boy is truly a Prodigy!"

"I've observed Disciples for so many years, yet today I actually misjudged one, haha..."

"This boy must be the freshman whose name has been rising these past two days... Lin Dong, Tiangang Realm cultivation, and a Physical Body with ten million units of strength!"

"Such talent is not inferior even to the Prodigies of the Total Yard."

"Counting the time, the Total Yard's assessment should be in a few days. With this boy's talent, going to the Total Yard is a certainty."

"When this boy goes to the Total Yard, things will certainly get lively."

"The Total Yard has always looked down on students from the various branches!"

"If they provoke this Prodigy from our Yun Lan Branch, he'll likely turn the Total Yard upside down."

Elder Ye shook his head helplessly. It seemed that after so many years lying low in the Scripture Pavilion, he had become somewhat dim-sighted.

At the same time, he was somewhat looking forward to Lin Dong's performance at the Total Yard...
