93: Breakthrough in cultivation, third level of earthly immortal

After Lin Sheng flew a distance with Mu Xianyan.

In a small, deserted grove, the two specifically stopped.

"You had me take this sword to lure her out?" Mu Xianyan was quite clever and immediately figured it out.

"Yes."

Lin Sheng didn't hide it and said frankly, "That woman is from the Howling Moon White Tiger clan, and this sword is called the howling moon sword. It contains the secret to their clan's rise."

"Are you trying to do her a favor?"

"Heh, what is there about her that's worth me doing a favor? The main thing is that this secret concerns a great secret realm, and if it appears early, I can still get a share."

That's what he said.

But Lin Sheng's thoughts went far beyond that.

He believed that once he lured out this White Tiger Secret Realm in advance, the protagonist who was supposed to enter this secret realm definitely wouldn't miss it!

Thus.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to proactively letting the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist trigger events and accelerate his acquisition of collapse points?

And if this trip went as smoothly as imagined, then Lin Sheng could also follow suit.

Incite the Heavenly Mandated Protagonist to acquire various opportunities to trigger various events in advance!

Before long.

The "demonic consort" Liu Qingxue, dressed in purple, appeared in the sight of the two.

Lin Sheng and Mu Xianyan exchanged a smile.

A moment later.

Liu Qingxue successfully obtained the secret hidden within the howling moon sword—a special memory.

In this memory.

The method to open the White Tiger Secret Realm was recorded!

"Thank you, you don't understand, this memory is crucial to our clan."

Liu Qingxue bowed deeply to the two of them.

Her mother was heavily punished for losing the howling moon sword and ultimately died in battle with regret.

Now, with Lin Sheng's help, she had obtained the secret in the howling moon sword, which could be considered fulfilling her mother's dying regret.

It's just...

Liu Qingxue felt a little puzzled. How did this Golden Dragon Holy Son know about the howling moon sword?

This doubt only flashed through her mind.

Anyway, she had already gotten what she wanted, and thinking about other things wouldn't help.

"To be honest."

Liu Qingxue's expression was grateful: "This memory concerns a great secret realm. When it opens, I will definitely invite you in time."

"Okay."

Lin Sheng smiled slightly.

Liu Qingxue thanked the two again, then stopped lingering and turned to leave in a hurry.

...

On Tianyun Mountain, under the Enlightenment Tree.

Lin Sheng opened the system interface and looked at his current collapse points: 850.

Of these, 20 points were left over from before, and the other 830 points were obtained during the recent event.

"Not bad."

"As long as there are events, no one can match my breakthrough speed!"

He was just about to increase his cultivation.

Unexpectedly, a collapse point message suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Collapse Points +20]

"Hmm?"

Lin Sheng was startled, then realized: "Is Ye Liufeng starting to act in the Ye Family?"

Just now, after Ye Liufeng entered the golden sword gate behind Ye Zhenguo's back.

He didn't go anywhere else but honestly returned to the Ye Family.

Although he didn't know what he was doing...

[Narration: The more Ye Liufeng thought about it after returning, the angrier he got, so he added laxatives to the refreshing soup he gave his father.]

Eh?

There's narration telling me?

Lin Sheng waited quietly for a while longer. Seeing that no more messages popped up, he guessed: The follow-up to that option should be over.

"Okay, so the total collapse points are 870."

He rubbed his hands together, ready to increase his cultivation.

[Consume 800 Collapse Points, cultivation realm begins to break through!]

[Profound Immortal Fifth Layer → Profound Immortal Sixth Layer!]

[Profound Immortal Sixth Layer → Profound Immortal Seventh Layer!]

[...]

[Hint: Earth Immortal bottleneck detected, automatically ignored, continuing breakthrough!]

[...]

[Earth Immortal Second Layer → Earth Immortal Third Layer!]

Whoosh—!

Huge golden light burst forth from his body, reflecting the golden sun and sea of clouds phenomenon in the sky once again.

Compared to before, it was even more magnificent and majestic!

Feeling the surging power in his body again, Lin Sheng once more had the idea of finding a strong opponent for an intense battle—this was a very normal emotion, almost every cultivator who made a major breakthrough in their realm would have this urge.

Almost the next moment.

Tang Chiyue and Shen Xingtong from Xingyue Sect were once again attracted by the phenomenon.

"Hiss... breaking through from Profound Immortal to Earth Immortal in a single day..."

As soon as the two senior and junior sisters, dressed in Xingyue Sect robes and displaying their full, curvy figures, arrived, the senior sister Tang Chiyue looked at Lin Sheng and exclaimed, "At his rate of improvement, he will soon surpass the so-called Heavens Mandate Twins and become the greatest genius in human history!"

"Yes."

The junior sister Shen Xingtong nodded her head, greatly agreeing.

They came up and asked Lin Sheng again. After getting his permission, Tang Chiyue's soul left her body and continued to record this phenomenon which had become even more perfect and magnificent.

Shen Xingtong, on the other hand, very familiarly came to the small stone table under the Enlightenment Tree and sat down opposite Lin Sheng.

"Holy Son."

She stroked her head of three thousand silver threads, a shallow smile of admiration showing on her pretty jade-like face: "You... how did you do it? Do you have some kind of Enlightenment Holy Body? Can you just achieve enlightenment casually?"

Like everyone else, she was very curious about the reason behind his incredibly fast breakthroughs.

"It's very simple."

Lin Sheng smiled: "Sometimes, when the feeling comes, I break through. Maybe I really am some kind of innate Enlightenment Holy Body."

It was probably already afternoon by now.

Sunlight filtered through the dense green leaf canopy, casting dappled light on the green grass.

When the clear breeze blew, the chirping of cicadas and birds in the distant woods seemed a little clearer.

There was a tea set on the stone table, but no hot tea in the pot. Just as Lin Sheng was thinking of having a cup of tea, a graceful beautiful woman in a goose-yellow long gown quickly walked out from the small courtyard next door.

She carried a cup of tea and quickly came to the small stone table.

Very naturally, she washed the cup and poured tea for Lin Sheng.

After doing all this smoothly, she respectfully retreated behind Lin Sheng and silently watched his back.

"She is..." Shen Xingtong actually already had a guess.

"My maid, Su Yuyao."

Lin Sheng turned around, picked up Su Yuyao's warm, simple white jade hand and stroked it, smiling heartily: "Her cultivation is very low, only at the Spirit Master realm, so she has almost no ability to preserve her appearance. She can't look as young as you two after thousands of years."

"So she's only in her thirties, just like a normal woman in her thirties."

Su Yuyao was specifically chosen for him by Chen Nanzhi back then. Her figure and beauty were both exceptional. Especially the gentle wife-like aura about her, which was even rarer in this cultivation world.

"Until now, I haven't touched her. She's still pure."

Lin Sheng spoke frankly.

The reactions of the two women present were also quite calm.

"It seems I misunderstood you."

Looking at this beautiful maid, Shen Xingtong shook her head and smiled: "Before, I thought you were a pervert, but I didn't expect you could keep this beauty by your side for so long without touching her."
