491: Section 491

Hearing this, Old Celestial Master nodded, expressing his agreement with General Yi Nanshan's ideas.

Given the current situation, to break the deadlock, one must first clear away those chess pieces.

Dig them all out and eliminate the potential dangers.

The rest is just waiting for them to make their next move.

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.

They stood up and walked out of the command center.

...

[Current Realm: Star Quenching Realm]

[Current Source Qi: 38.16%]

Ever since stepping into the Star Quenching Realm, blood energy had transformed into Source Qi.

This meant that from now on, if one wanted to raise their Realm, they could only attempt to Breakthrough to the next level once their Source Qi reached 100%.

Currently, his Source Qi had only just reached one-third.

Who knew how long it would take before he could attempt the next Breakthrough.

After all, increasing blood energy values was completely different from acquiring Source Qi.

To obtain Source Qi, one needed to purify their blood energy.

For example, if one wanted to convert 10% of their blood energy into Source Qi, the purified Source Qi might only be 3% or 5%, or even lower.

If it weren't for Lin Yi having the [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique], he feared that if he wanted to attempt the next Realm, it would take years, or even decades.

After all, obtaining Source Qi was more complex.

It required constant purification to drive the advancement of one's Realm.

This was the reason why Lin Yi's grandfather, General Yi Nanshan, had been stuck in the Star Quenching Realm for decades without being able to Breakthrough to the next Realm.

It was also why Old Celestial Master was stuck at his current Realm, unable to make any progress.

The higher the Realm, the harder the purification.

Many people struggled their whole lives and still couldn't step into the next Realm.

In this way, the 1-Star to 7-Star stages were actually easier.

He finally understood why Old Celestial Master had said before that true Cultivation actually begins at the Star Quenching Realm.

If the preceding 1-Star to 7-Star stages were about tempering the Physical Body, then once one stepped into the Star Quenching Realm, it was the beginning of practicing Qi.

Only by stepping into the Star Quenching Realm could one truly be considered to have entered the Martial Dao.

A morning of rest left Lin Yi feeling refreshed. He first took out some monster meat for Xiao Qi, letting it have its lunch.

Then, he came out of his room.

He spread out his Divine Thought and scanned Wei Nan's room, finding that the guy was still asleep.

He was lying sprawled out on the bed...

Lin Yi smiled and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

He picked up the remote and turned on the TV, preparing to catch up on the latest news.

However, just as he had watched for a few moments, a phone rang urgently.

The caller ID displayed the name 'Wei Shang'.

"Hello? Old Wei, how long have you all been missing? Finally decided to make a call?"

Just as Lin Yi's words fell, a girl's voice came from the phone.

"You are... Lin Yi, right?"

"Hmm? Who are you?" Lin Yi was taken aback and asked back, feeling a bit strange.

The girl chuckled and said: "My name is Meng Die. I'm a colleague of Wei Shang and the others, and we all belong to the Martial Suppression Bureau!"

"Do you have time? Let's meet up!"

"Meng Die?"

Lin Yi was somewhat unfamiliar with the name.

However, since she could use Wei Shang's phone to call him and claimed to be from the Martial Suppression Bureau, Lin Yi's wariness of her lessened.

He nodded and said: "Sure, where are you? I'll come find you!"

"Right at your Dormitory Area 1 Cafeteria. It's just noon, so let's eat and talk!"

"Alright!"

Lin Yi readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he was just about to go back to his room to change clothes when Wei Nan walked out, bleary-eyed.

"Who was that?"

"You're awake? Change your clothes and let's go downstairs to eat?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

However, Wei Nan shook his head: "I won't go. I still want to sleep a bit more. I need to battle my bed for another three hundred rounds. You go on by yourself..."

After Wei Nan finished speaking, he went back into his room to continue sleeping.

Lin Yi smiled and didn't mind him.

He changed his clothes and left the dormitory.

When he arrived at the Dormitory Area 1 Cafeteria, there were many students there, and it was noisy with people getting food and eating.

Lin Yi glanced into the Cafeteria.

When he saw two familiar faces, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

At a table inside, there were three people.

Besides Wei Shang and Feng Lei, there was also a young girl.

She looked to be in her early twenties; presumably, the phone call from earlier had been from her.

Moreover, Lin Yi could tell that Wei Shang and Feng Lei appeared somewhat reserved in front of her.

Perhaps their leader had arrived?

Lin Yi didn't think too much about it; he picked up a food tray and went to the window to get food.

"Why are you only eating this little?"

When Lin Yi had finished getting his food and walked over to the table where Wei Shang and the others were, before he could even sit down, Wei Shang looked at the food on Lin Yi's tray in surprise.

Based on their understanding of Lin Yi, he wouldn't leave the window unless his tray was piled high with monster meat.

What was wrong today? Just a small scoop of rice and some meat and vegetables.

His appetite was less than half of what it used to be.

Lin Yi smiled; actually, he didn't understand why either.

Ever since stepping into the Star Quenching Realm, his appetite had decreased rapidly.

Nowadays, what he ate for a meal was just the same as a normal person.

He couldn't eat any more than that.

Perhaps it was because his blood energy had been converted into Source Qi, and his body no longer needed blood energy to sustain itself, so his appetite had changed.

He smiled: "I don't have much of an appetite!"

"Old Wei, Old Feng, who is this?"

Lin Yi cast his gaze onto Meng Die.

Meng Die's appearance was very alluring.

She didn't have the naive innocence of Shen Mengyi; instead, she looked very mature.

She was even more attractive than his older sister, Tang Qinru.
