461: Chapter 461 Void Stone, System is Awesome

After finishing reading the information, Lin Yun briefly retold it to his wives soaking in the hot spring.

After listening, Su Yingxue slightly frowned:

"Special training... Doesn't that mean we won't be able to see her again?"

"One is in seclusion, one went out on business, one is playing games, and one is in special training."

"The four people we targeted are all nowhere to be found."

She sighed, leaned her head back against the pool wall, and looked at the misty water vapor:

"Today is another tough nut to crack."

Qiao Feifei quickly cheered up and patted the water surface:

"Even a tough nut has to be cracked! We must win over Zhi Rou!"

"When I first saw her, I felt she was an exceptionally good match for Hubby!"

Bai Ling nodded frantically like pounding garlic:

"Right, right, right! Sister Zhi Rou is both beautiful and strong, making her especially suited for our family!"

Su Yingxue opened her eyes amidst the water vapor, revealing once again that smile carrying a hint of petty calculation:

"Then let's first find a way to contact Zhi Rou."

"Even though she is in special training, it's impossible for her to remain invisible forever."

"Once we find an opportunity, no matter what, we have to ask her out."

The atmosphere in the hot spring pool became lively again.

Splashes flew once more, and laughter rippled across the air.

Leaning against the pool wall and watching their enthusiastic expressions, the arc of Lin Yun's lips deepened slightly.

This group of wives truly couldn't stay idle.

When hitting a wall with one target, they immediately pivoted to the next.

However, Lin Yun knew very well in his heart that Zhi Rou's special training this time probably wouldn't end so quickly.

After all, King Lingniao had just come out of seclusion and accepted her first disciple.

At the very least, they would have to wait a year or half a year before letting someone out.

Therefore, wanting to marry Zhi Rou would still require waiting.

However, he wasn't in a hurry either.

Anyway, Zhi Rou couldn't run away, so waiting was fine.

...

After soaking in the hot spring, the sun had already risen high into the sky.

Su Yingxue pulled Lin Yun's hand, her tone brisk:

"Husband, go Cultivate today; leave the conquest matters to us."

Lin Yun looked at her full-of-drive appearance:

"Can you girls manage?"

"Of course we can!"

Lin Yun rubbed the top of her hair:

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you all."

Qiao Feifei patted her chest from the side:

"Rest assured! With so many of us, are we still afraid we can't take down a few targets?"

"Just wait for our good news!"

Amused by her confident expression, Lin Yun let out a chuckle, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the direction of the Cultivate room.

The door of the Cultivate room closed behind him.

Lin Yun walked to the futon, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated his mind.

He didn't rush to circulate his Cultivation Technique, but instead first sank his attention into the System space.

A palm-sized stone quietly floated in the center of the space.

void boundary stone.

An extra treasure rewarded by the System when marrying Ruozao.

The effect was written very clearly:

It can assist the host in compressing and integrating the Space Domain into the Martial Dao Golden Core.

With a thought from Lin Yun, the void boundary stone was taken out from the System space.

The moment it landed in his palm,

a cool and gentle touch seeped into his body along his fingertips.

It was like some extremely affinitive energy actively echoing with it.

Without hesitation, Lin Yun placed the void boundary stone in front of his Dantian.

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, the void boundary stone turned into a stream of fine starlight, sinking into the Dantian and merging into the Martial Dao Golden Core.

A very faint spatial ripple arose on the surface of the Golden Core.

Like the surface of water into which a pebble had been thrown, ripples spread outward in circles from the center.

Then the ripples slowly subsided, and the Golden Core recovered its original luster.

But Lin Yun could clearly perceive that there was an extra thing inside the Golden Core.

The aura of the void boundary stone had completely melted into it, transforming into an invisible framework supporting the space between the Golden Core and the Space Domain.

Lin Yun opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he closed his eyes and began to compress the Domain.

The Space Domain slowly emerged around his body, that layer of formless force field wrapping him inside.

He began to manipulate the Domain to contract inward toward the interior of the Golden Core, squeezing inward bit by bit along the path that had been repeated countless times over the years.

Then he froze.

Ever since Sixth Order Completion, he had constantly been trying to press the Space Domain into the Golden Core.

In ten years, he had already successfully compressed eighty percent.

The remaining twenty percent was like an iron wall, stuck motionless.

No matter how he tried or adjusted, that final twenty percent could not advance even a fraction of a millimeter.

But right now.

Not long after he began circulating his energy, he felt that iron wall loosen.

After the void boundary stone merged into the Golden Core, that invisible barrier seemed to have been softened by something, and the originally tight structure became pliable and elastic.

Following that pliable force, the Space Domain collapsed inward toward the interior of the Golden Core inch by inch.

That speed was far faster than he had anticipated.

Suppressing the pleasant surprise in his heart, Lin Yun steadied his mind and continued to push forward.

After an hour, the progress was astonishingly fast.

It was faster than the progress on any single day over the past ten years.

Sitting on the futon and feeling the spatial structure inside the Golden Core being gradually filled, Lin Yun was momentarily in a daze.

He had originally thought that relying on himself to slowly grind away would take at least several hundred years to possibly Breakthrough to Tier 7.

Breaking through to Tier 7 at several hundred years old was already considered a Genius among Geniuses.

For ordinary Geniuses to be stuck for over a thousand years was standard.

But according to the current progress, in less than a month, he would be able to press all of the remaining twenty percent in.

A month later, he would be a Tier 7 Martial Artist.

Forty-eight years old.

A forty-eight-year-old Tier 7 Martial Artist.

Even Lin Yun himself felt it was somewhat unreal.

He was only forty-eight years old.

Ai Wei Breakthrough to Tier 7 at ninety-seven years old was already the only Tier 7 Martial Artist under the age of one hundred in the Human Alliance over the past ten thousand years.

If he broke through to Tier 7 at forty-eight, wouldn't that be nearly fifty years faster than Ai Wei?

Would this be too fast?

Too high-profile?

Frowning, Lin Yun sat on the futon for a while.

He was indeed a bit hesitant.

A Tier 7 in his forties had never been heard of across the entire Human Alliance.

Once the news spread, heaven knows how great of a shock it would cause.

By then, people wanting to target him would probably line up from Lingyuan Empire to the Tianlang Empire.

But on second thought,

he was in Lingyuan Empire, with powerhouses like King Blood Axe and King Feiyun holding the fort.

King Lingniao had also just come out of seclusion, and her strength was even more formidable than King Blood Axe and King Feiyun.

With these people around, probably no one would dare to target him.

Moreover, he had already been high-profile enough previously.

Sweeping ten in reverse during the Friendship Tournament, being at Sixth Order Completion at forty-eight, had long spread across both Empires.

What could being a little more high-profile hurt?

Not using what the System gave—wasn't that just being foolish?

With his mind made up, Lin Yun closed his eyes again.

Screw it.

Cultivate first and talk later.

The auxiliary effect of the void boundary stone was far better than Lin Yun had anticipated.

He continued to push forward, every compression even smoother than before.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were helping him hold down the Domain and stuff it into the Golden Core.

That sense of smoothness made Lin Yun almost doubt whether he was dreaming.

He couldn't help but shout inwardly in his heart.

"System, awesome!"

The subsequent Cultivate went smoothly without a hitch, encountering almost no obstacles all day.

By evening, Lin Yun opened his eyes and introspected his Golden Core.

Progress: eighty-one percent.

He had advanced a full zero point one percent within a single day.

At this speed, in less than a month, he could completely finish the compression.

Lin Yun let out a long breath of turbid air and stood up from the futon.

His entire body's muscles and bones felt refreshed, and his spirit was exceptionally full and vigorous.
