223: Chapter 226 Outside the Primordial Chaos Tower, Lin Yi of the Nine Provinces

When Lin Yi stepped out of the Hunyuan Tower, the gazes in the plaza were completely different from when he had entered.

Before, he had merely been a Divine Body Realm practitioner at the first stage from an unknown Small World.

Even after testing for a Top-grade Divine Body, it had only made people glance at him a few more times.

Hunyuan God City was not lacking in Geniuses.

Although a Top-grade Divine Body was rare, it was not something no one had ever seen before.

But now, it was different.

Divine Body Realm, first stage.

First time challenging the Hunyuan Tower in the Divine Body Realm.

Stopped at the thirtieth floor.

And it wasn't that he had been knocked out in one move right after entering the thirtieth floor.

He had held on for a very long time on the thirtieth floor.

With these conditions stacked together, the weight of his achievement was completely different.

Many people on the plaza looked at him with complex expressions.

Some were shocked.

Some were envious.

And some hid resentment in their eyes.

But no matter what they thought in their hearts, at least at this moment, no one dared to look at Lin Yi with the same eyes they used for practitioners from ordinary Small Worlds.

The Purple-Clothed Woman stood behind the registration desk, looking at the cyan Genius Token in Lin Yi's hand, her tone much more solemn than before.

"Lin Yi, Jiuzhou World, Divine Body Realm first stage, Top-grade Divine Body."

"First time challenging the Divine Body Realm Hunyuan Tower, stopped at the thirtieth floor."

"The result has been recorded."

She paused, then added:

"According to the rules of Hunyuan God City, your temporary Genius Token has been officially converted into a Hunyuan Genius Token."

As she finished speaking, the token in Lin Yi's hand vibrated slightly.

On the originally cyan token, a streak of silver patterns appeared.

Lin Yi looked down at it.

The Purple-Clothed Woman explained:

"With this token, you can stay in Hunyuan God City for a long time and also enter some public Cultivate grounds."

"In addition, after passing the threshold of the thirtieth floor, the Hunyuan Tower will give corresponding rewards."

"Someone will deliver them to you shortly."

Lin Yi nodded.

"Thank you."

His tone was calm.

He was not smug because of the change in the surrounding gazes.

Nor was he disappointed because he had stopped at the thirtieth floor.

The Purple-Clothed Woman looked at him, and there was a bit more appreciation in her eyes.

Many Geniuses from Small Worlds came to Hunyuan God City for the first time, and if they achieved even a little success, they couldn't suppress their arrogance.

Lin Yi was different.

He seemed to have known long ago that he would be noticed, and he also knew that he was still far from enough.

This was even rarer than simply reaching the thirtieth floor.

Not far away, several faction stewards had already walked down from the high platform.

One of the men in blue robes spoke first:

"Lin Yi, I am from the Qingxuan Tower."

"If you are willing to join the Qingxuan Tower, we can immediately give you Core Disciple treatment."

Another woman in red robes beside him said indifferently:

"Core Disciple of the Qingxuan Tower?"

"Does your Qingxuan Tower even deserve to snatch a Top-grade Divine Body who is only at the first stage of the Divine Body Realm but reached the thirtieth floor?"

The face of the man in blue robes darkened.

The woman in red robes ignored him and turned to look at Lin Yi.

"I am from Chiming Mountain."

"Chiming Mountain has World Realm Elders sitting in command, and we also have a complete training system from the Divine Body Realm to the Grotto Heaven Realm."

"If you are willing to come, the conditions can be negotiated."

A third person also spoke:

"Lin Yi, although the faction behind me is not as good as Chiming Mountain, my Old Ancestor is skilled in Blade Dao techniques."

"You use a blade, so you should know that a suitable teacher is more important than ordinary resources."

The few of them spoke one after another.

The crowd around the plaza watched with envy.

Although these factions were not the top sects of the Suiyue Divine Kingdom, in the eyes of ordinary practitioners, they were already high branches that were difficult to climb.

A first-stage Divine Body Realm practitioner, having just left the Hunyuan Tower, was already being actively recruited by these faction stewards.

This was the change brought about by his results.

Lin Yi did not agree immediately.

He just said:

"Thank you all for your kindness."

"I have just left the tower and need to organize what I have gained first."

"If I am interested later, I will contact you all again."

The several stewards looked at each other.

They could certainly tell that this was a polite refusal.

However, no one turned hostile.

A person who could reach the thirtieth floor at the first stage of the Divine Body Realm had the qualifications to be picky.

Moreover, they were also clear that the factions behind them might not be able to truly recruit Lin Yi.

They came over now just to show their faces first.

The truly weighty recruitment was still to come.

The woman in red robes took out a jade talisman and handed it to Lin Yi.

"This is the contact jade talisman of Chiming Mountain."

"If you are considering a faction, you might as well take a look at Chiming Mountain first."

The man in blue robes and others also left their own tokens.

Lin Yi accepted them one by one without saying much.

After they left, the Grey-robed Elder walked over slowly.

He looked at Lin Yi and smiled:

"Young man, don't be in a hurry to choose."

"With your results, they should reach the ears of quite a few Elders within today."

"If you wait a little longer, the people who come to find you will only have more weight."

Lin Yi said: "Thank you for the reminder."

The Grey-robed Elder waved his hand.

"I just said it because I don't think you are a fool."

"Recruitment in Hunyuan God City does not just look at treatment."

"It also depends on whether the other party can truly teach you."

"You use a blade and follow the Dao of Water, so it is best to find someone who fits your path."

"Otherwise, no matter how many resources you have, it will just be piling up cultivation."

Lin Yi nodded slightly.

This was similar to Yuan Yi's judgment.

Resources were important.

But at the level of outside Geniuses, teachers and paths were equally important.

Especially what he was going to take next was not just the True Intent of Water.

He also had to try the combination of water and fire, and even higher-level Blade Dao.

Ordinary factions might not be able to guide him.

Lin Yi did not stay long on the plaza.

He took the Hunyuan Genius Token and temporarily left the Hunyuan Tower plaza.

Not long after, Yuan Yi's voice sounded in his mind.

"Not choosing was the right thing to do."

"Those factions are not bad."

"But they are not enough."

Lin Yi said: "I know."

Yuan Yi said:

"You challenged the tower for the first time, reaching the thirtieth floor at the first stage of the Divine Body Realm."

"This result can make quite a few factions interested, but it is not enough to make the truly top figures step in personally."

"What they are giving you now is at most decent training conditions."

"It is not the path most suitable for you yet."

Lin Yi asked: "What about Cultivate next?"

"Yes."

Yuan Yi said:

"Your biggest problem now is not that your talent is insufficient, but that your Realm is too low."

"Reaching the thirtieth floor at the first stage of the Divine Body Realm has already proven your potential."

"Next, you must first push your cultivation to the Divine Body Realm Triple Stage."

"Then return to the Hunyuan Tower."

"Only then will you be able to truly achieve results that will make the top factions of the Suiyue Divine Kingdom unable to sit still."

Lin Yi recalled the black-robed blade user on the thirtieth floor.

The opponent did not overpower him in any one specific point.

Rather, the opponent was more complete overall.

Cultivation, Divine Body, True Intent, Blade Dao techniques, and Divine Ability were all integrated.

His defeat now was not because of a single shortcoming.

It was because his overall accumulation was still lacking.

This required time and resources.

"Are the Hunyuan Tower rewards enough?"

"Far from enough."

Yuan Yi said:

"However, you have the resources left by Sanshan Helong and those Elders."

"Plus the resources for a Personal Disciple of the Yuanhe Divine Palace."

"It shouldn't be a problem to push you to the Divine Body Realm Triple Stage in a short time."

"The real trouble is that after improving your cultivation, you still need to supplement your Divine Ability, Blade Dao techniques, and True Intent."

"Otherwise, you will just have the Realm in name only."

Lin Yi said: "Then I will go into seclusion."

Yuan Yi smiled.

"I knew you would say that."

"Hunyuan God City has dedicated Immortal Caves for Cultivate, with abundant Spiritual Qi and stable Formation."

"You have the Hunyuan Genius Token now, so you can rent a good place."

"Find an Immortal Cave first."

"Then, finish the path from the first stage to the third stage of the Divine Body Realm."

Lin Yi looked up at the Hunyuan Tower in the distance, towering into the Void Realm.

He had lost on the thirtieth floor.

But he had lost very clearly.

Next time, he would not just hold on.

He would fight his way through.

Half an hour later.

Lin Yi rented an Immortal Cave for Cultivate in the eastern district of Hunyuan God City.

The Immortal Cave was not large.

But it was quiet enough.

After the Formation was activated, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was completely cut off.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged.

Before him were several space rings.

Those of Sanshan Chong, those of the eleven Elders including Sanshan Wuya, and those of Sanshan Helong.

And a portion of the resources that could be used within the authority of a Personal Disciple of the Yuanhe Divine Palace.

Yuan Yi said:

"Let's begin."

"This time, it is not a Breakthrough by betting your life."

"But to make up for all the accumulation that you should have had in the first place."

Lin Yi closed his eyes.

His Top-grade Divine Body slowly circulated.

Inside the Immortal Cave, the rich Spiritual Qi turned into a vortex and surged into his body.

The hustle and bustle outside the Hunyuan Tower was still spreading.

The name Lin Yi from the Jiuzhou World also began to enter the sight of some Elders.

And Lin Yi himself had already entered seclusion.

The next time he left seclusion, he would challenge the Hunyuan Tower again.
