161: Breakthrough! Innate Core Formation Realm!

Limit Breaking Level Seven was a rather profound Force Exertion Realm. For those in the top ten of the Earth Rankings, or even some ordinary Innate Golden Core experts, their Force Exertion Realm was roughly at this level.

Even Lin Yi, before his talent had evolved, had been stuck at this Realm for several months without breaking through.

But now, at the very moment the 'Human World Blade God · True' talent finished evolving, the Bottleneck of Limit Breaking Level Seven was broken through naturally and effortlessly.

The ease of it was like a grown man tearing a piece of paper or snapping a chopstick; it was simply effortless!

"It seems that with the 'Strong God of Swordsmanship in the Human Realm' talent, the Bottlenecks of Limit Breaking Level Eight and Nine will no longer be able to stop me."

"In that case, perhaps before breaking through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, my goal can be changed to cultivating a Saint-level Martial Art to Minor Achievement and reaching the Perfection of Limit Breaking Level Nine in the Force Exertion Realm."

"And at that time, my strength..."

At this thought, a divine light flickered in Lin Yi's eyes.

With Limit Breaking Level Nine, a Saint-level Martial Art at Minor Achievement, and a divine weapon, once Lin Yi broke through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, he would truly not be inferior to the top ten experts of the Heaven Rankings in terms of foundation, Martial Arts Techniques, or Force Exertion Realm.

But compared to those experts, Lin Yi still had one more trump card: the battle talent of the 'King of Battle'!

Once that was added, let alone the top ten of the Heaven Rankings, Lin Yi estimated he could even hold his own against the top three!

This way, no matter how much the Great Yuan Dynasty exerted itself, as long as they didn't deploy a Martial Saint, how could they possibly kill him?

"Fine, I'll arrange it like this. From now on, if I don't achieve Minor Achievement in a Saint-level Martial Art and reach Limit Breaking Level Nine in a day, I will not enter the Xiantian Golden Core Realm for a day!"

With his mind made up, Lin Yi went out, preparing to continue hunting the experts of the Evil Path and the underworld of the Nine Provinces to Cultivate.

After all, his current cultivation was simple, mainly consisting of two points.

First, to try and obtain as many cultivation resources as possible, such as comprehension-type pills like the spirit comprehension pill, or soul-type Heaven And Earth Treasures like the Soul Profound Fruit, and then use these precious resources to help himself Cultivate.

Second, to enhance his Martial Arts Techniques Realm, Force Exertion Realm, and willpower strength through comprehending the blade, practicing the blade, and fighting.

Both of these could be achieved by hunting down underworld and Evil Path experts, so Lin Yi naturally wouldn't let them off... And so, time slowly passed.

Under Lin Yi's hunting and with the help of his many talents—especially the 'Human World Blade God · True' talent—Lin Yi's strength climbed at a speed that would terrify even a Martial Saint.

Just half a month after obtaining the 'Human World Blade God' talent, Lin Yi's Force Exertion Realm broke through from Limit Breaking Level Seven to Level Eight, comparable to an old-school Innate Golden Core expert.

Another month and a half later, Lin Yi reached Limit Breaking Level Nine, comparable to the top ten powerhouses of the Heaven Rankings.

Another month later, his Divine Soul also reached the limit of the 'Spirit Driving' level.

Then, after another half month, with the help of a Medium Grade Innate Epiphany-type Spirit Pill, the 'Seven Star Profound Comprehension Pill'.

Lin Yi went into seclusion for three days and nights, finally achieving a sudden Epiphany. He reached Minor Achievement in a Saint-level Martial Art and the Perfection of the Limit Breaking Level Nine Force Exertion Realm, completing his previously set goals... "Phew!"

In a courtyard near the Wanxiang Tower headquarters, inside an underground secret room, Lin Yi, dressed in black and sitting cross-legged, let out a long breath. He then opened his eyes, a smile appearing in them.

"After several months of bitter cultivation, I've finally broken through to Minor Achievement in a Saint-level Martial Art and the Perfection of Limit Breaking Level Nine."

"After reaching this level, no matter how hard I work, my Martial Arts Techniques Realm probably won't progress any further for now."

"After all, with the mental processing speed of a Divine Soul at the 'Spirit Driving' level in the Innate True Essence Realm, a Minor Achievement Saint-level Martial Art is already the limit!"

"To break through to Major Achievement, the Divine Soul Realm must at least reach the 'Essence Control' level. Otherwise, no matter how high the talent or how many Heaven And Earth Treasures and Medicinal Pills help, it's impossible for me to break through."

"So, it's time to break through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm."

With his mind set, Lin Yi didn't delay. He directly took out a Medicinal Pill he had prepared long ago to assist in breaking through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, swallowed it, and closed his eyes again.

In the next moment, his Aura instantly surged, like an ancient divine mountain rising from the ground. His True Essence, Physical Body, Aura, and Divine Soul power continuously climbed, rapidly advancing toward the Qi Refining Xiantian Golden Core Realm, the Body Refining Mortal Shedding Realm, and the 'Essence Control' level of the Divine Soul.

Rumble!

In the quiet underground secret room, gusts of wild wind suddenly arose. The infinite air was distorted by Lin Yi's Aura, forming waves of terrifying gales within the room.

At the same time, within a radius of dozens of miles, the omnipresent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth swarmed toward Lin Yi under his control, like moths to a flame.

Ordinary people couldn't detect this movement, but for Innate experts whose Divine Souls could leave their bodies and who had at least reached the 'Spirit Driving' level, it was like a terrifying earthquake occurring on flat ground, instantly startling every Innate expert.

"Eh? Why has the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi suddenly rioted? How can the commotion be so large? Could someone be breaking through to the Innate Golden Core?"

Feeling the movement of the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, in the most luxurious private room of a restaurant near the courtyard where Lin Yi lived, a white-haired, white-bearded old man in the Innate True Essence Realm spoke with a face full of shock.

Although his strength was average, he had lived in Martial Province for over a hundred years and had some discernment. He had seen a dozen or so Innate True Essence Realm Grandmasters break through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm.

But none of their Breakthroughs had caused such a massive commotion. Therefore, without a doubt, this mysterious powerhouse was definitely breaking through to the Innate Golden Core!

"Hmm?"

In a courtyard not far from Lin Yi's, a black-haired old man who had been lying quietly on a reclining chair suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is rioting. The source of the riot is..."

"Eh? It's the courtyard where Lin Yi of the Heavenly Mountain Sect lives? This kid is finally going to break through?"

"The commotion from this kid's Breakthrough is so large, it's comparable to a normal Martial Artist breaking through from the Xiantian Golden Core Realm to the Innate Golden Core. Could it be that this is because of the Opportunity he got in the Martial Emperors Relic Palace, which is also the reliance that allows him to rival Innate Golden Core powerhouses as an Innate True Essence Realm practitioner?"

The black-haired old man was shocked at first, but then he smiled indifferently.

"Haha! Whatever! Since he's already breaking through, it proves that his time of death is fast approaching!"

"For a Martial Artist to break through to the Xiantian Golden Core Realm, it takes at least three days. These three days are more than enough for me to notify the Yuan Emperor and several Princes to rush from You Province to Wanxiang Tower."

"And once they arrive, this Lin Yi will be dead for sure! Hahahaha..."

The black-haired old man laughed loudly, then immediately used special means to send a message to the capital of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Besides the two of them, as time passed, the commotion from Lin Yi's Breakthrough grew larger and larger, and was soon discovered by more and more Innate experts!
