Chapter 890 - 133: Breakthrough, Innate Third Realm
Chapter 890: Chapter 133: Breakthrough, Innate Third Realm
Lin Chen sat cross-legged in meditation within the secret chamber, his mind sinking into his Dantian.
The gentle cyan flame at his fingertips—the Cyan Li True Flame—flowed smoothly along his meridians.
Unlike the domineering burn he encountered with the Golden Crow Radiance Flame, or the insidious infiltration of the Illusory Sea Heart Flame, nor the initial impact brought by the Li Fire.
Its influx was like a warm current flowing through frozen soil, carrying a gentle yet boundless vitality, along with a pure cold force hidden beneath it.
The Cyan Li True Flame flowed within his body, and Lin Chen could clearly feel that his various acupoints were being caressed by the warm current, extremely comfortable, causing the innate crystals in the acupoints to become even brighter than before.
The Cyan Li True Flame acted like a diligent cleaner, gently washing through all of his meridians and acupoints.
Lin Chen could feel his flesh, bones, meridians, and even every inch of his skin greedily absorbing the vast plant essence and vitality contained within the Cyan Li True Flame.
With such cycles, Lin Chen’s skin emitted a jade-like warm luster, revealing a strong life force.
One two-hour period, two two-hour periods...
After three two-hour periods, the Cyan Li True Flame finally stopped washing over Lin Chen’s body and settled in his Dantian.
"It’s time!"
When the Cyan Li True Flame landed in his Dantian, the Immortal Technique within Lin Chen’s body operated frantically, and the other three innate fires surged towards the Dantian.
The four innate fires slowly approached in the Dantian, but besides the Cyan Li True Flame quietly flickering, seemingly unaware, the other three innate fires all showed repulsion.
Rumbling!
Whether it was the Li Fire, the Golden Crow Radiance Flame, or the Illusory Sea Heart Flame, all resisted at this moment, wanting to leave the Dantian and return to the acupoints, yet under the pull of Lin Chen’s Immortal Technique, the three innate fires were forcibly drawn closer.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
After ten breaths, the four flames finally converged in the Dantian, as soon as these four flames gathered together, the Innate Li Fire, Golden Crow Radiance Flame, Illusory Sea Heart Flame...
Immediately resisted crazily, even under Lin Chen’s Immortal Technique pull, they still had the tendency to disintegrate, seeing the three innate fires about to separate, at that moment the quiet Cyan Li True Flame spread like a tide, enveloping the three innate fires within.
"It’s this moment!"
Lin Chen, who had kept his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at the instant the Cyan Li True Flame enveloped the other three innate fires, and from between his eyes, Canglan’s Eyes shot out two beams of ghostly blue light, causing ripples to appear in the space.
And at this moment, the aura on his body also spiked violently, a terrifying life force spread from the room, causing Yin Yue in the courtyard to look over immediately.
"This vitality... is even stronger than that of the traitor."
Yin Yue muttered softly, with an incredulous look in her eyes.
Inside the room.
Lin Chen closed his eyes again, but his right hand slowly reached out, and in his palm, a flame flickered.
A flame of four colors.
Blue, cyan, gold, purple...
The four colors appearing within the same flame, giving it a very mysterious appearance.
Lin Chen flipped his palm, and the flame switched back and forth among the four colors, each time it changed, it emitted a different aura.
"Retrieve!"
Lin Chen shouted softly, the flame in his palm disappeared, and then he stood up, stepped forward, and with each step, his aura crazily surged.
Within his body, the four-colored flame now roamed the main acupoints, where it passed, the main acupoints without innate crystals quickly condensed into innate crystals.
One, two, three...
Instantly, the number of main acupoints with innate crystals surpassed two hundred, and this number continued to rise.
An Innate Second Realm martial artist requires a huge amount of innate power to condense innate crystals.
The Innate Stone can provide innate power.
Certain pills can also provide innate power, and so can innate fire.
The reason no one uses innate fire to condense innate crystals is because they cannot refine the innate energy contained within the innate fire.
But for Lin Chen, the new innate fire formed by the fusion of four innate fires at this moment was extremely compatible with his body, continuously providing innate energy.
Two hundred, two hundred ten, two hundred twenty...
The speed of Lin Chen’s innate crystal growth within his body, if someone else were here to see it, they would surely be dumbfounded.
The first hundred innate crystals are a difficulty, one hundred to two hundred is a difficulty, two hundred to three hundred is yet another difficulty, beyond three hundred it becomes even more difficult than ascending to the heavens...
At this moment, Lin Chen’s growth in strength per breath is equivalent to others’ months of cultivation, and in just a short hundred breaths, his strength surpassed the success others achieve from years, even decades, of hard work.
If this scene were to spread, it would surely cause many Innate Second Realm martial artists to break down.
In the same Innate Second Realm, one’s realm advances at a snail’s pace, while another’s realm skyrockets like a hare.
It was a world of difference.
The Innate Crystal within his body continuously gathered, and Lin Chen’s Immortal Technique, driven by this new flame, began to undergo subtle changes. These changes allowed him to easily transform the energy of the Innate Fire into Innate Crystal.
Three hundred crystals, three hundred and ten crystals...
Three hundred and fifty crystals...
Three hundred and sixty crystals...
Three hundred and sixty-five crystals!
When every main acupoint had gathered Innate Crystal, Lin Chen’s body shook, and at this moment, all the acupoints emitted a dazzling light. Innate Energy began at the main acupoint in the Dantian, continuously connecting with other acupoints and forming a trajectory.
Bang!
Lin Chen’s acupoints trembled, the Innate Crystal vibrated, rotating at a frenzied frequency.
At the instant it reached its limit, all the Innate Crystals simultaneously exploded, and endless Innate Liquid surged out, coursing through the acupoints into his entire body, merging with his blood, merging together, nourishing the skin, acupoints, marrow...
The Crystal liquefied, with no barrier, as if a Natural Progress, yet the liquification of the main acupoints wasn’t the end; the Innate Crystals at the three thousand hidden acupoints also followed suit, each liquefying. If the Innate Liquid of the main acupoint was a river, then the Hidden Acupoints’ Innate Liquid was a stream.
A hundred streams formed a river, though as delicate as stream veins, yet interwoven with the main acupoint’s torrent to form a network, creating a cycle of unending energy.
When the last main acupoint was filled with liquefied Innate Energy, Lin Chen’s body jolted sharply, his aura surging like a volcanic eruption, twisting the air in the room instantly, sweeping out with a mix of abundant life force and scorching pressure, causing the foliage in the courtyard to sway, even the array’s protective barrier trembled violently.
"Innate Third Realm!"
Lin Chen whispered softly, a virtual shadow of four-colored flames flashing through his eyes, replaced by a deep, starry godly light.
After stepping into the Innate Third Realm, Lin Chen could truly grasp the differences between Third Realm and Second Realm, every gesture contained mountain-like power, a casual flick of his sleeve could trigger an explosion of air.
"Did he really break through to the Innate Third Realm so quickly?"
In the corner of the courtyard, Yin Yue looked at Lin Chen, his aura vast as the ocean, concealing vibrant life within the fierce heat, even his breathing seemed to echo with the sound of flowing lava. But this wasn’t the strangest part; the most peculiar aspect of him was having two utterly contradictory qualities.
The newborn sunrise of resurrection coexisting with the vicissitudes of the sea!
"What level is this Immortal Technique, has he truly created an extraordinary Cultivation Technique?"
Yin Yue’s eyes were filled with contemplation, and at this moment, Lin Chen’s aura slowly retracted. Once it returned to normal, he looked towards Yin Yue: "Thank you for the resources provided during this time."
Absorbing this Cyan Li True Flame allowed him to break through to the Innate Third Realm, yet Lin Chen knew it was because he had laid the foundation, thanks to Yin Yue’s gift of a million Innate Stones and Moonlight Stones, that he could smoothly break through to the Innate Third Realm.
"I helped you for my own reasons too."
Yin Yue responded calmly, Lin Chen, hearing this, knew it was finally time for Yin Yue to disclose what she needed him to do.
Previously she didn’t say because he hadn’t broken through to the Innate Third Realm, in Yin Yue’s view, his strength wasn’t adequate yet.
As Lin Chen waited for Yin Yue to continue, the array in the courtyard suddenly fluctuated, indicating a visitor’s arrival.
"Is Brother Xiao present? I’ve come to visit."
Hearing Li Qin’s voice from outside the courtyard, Lin Chen spoke in a deep voice: "Please wait a moment, Miss Li."
Activating the array, Li Qin’s figure walked in through the gate, her eyes falling instantly on Lin Chen, she spoke: "I’ve heard of a disturbance at the Fire Storage Pagoda and also knew Brother Xiao was there at the time, hence wanted to see if Brother Xiao was affected, seeing Brother Xiao unharmed I am relieved."
"Thank you, Miss Li, for your concern."
Lin Chen expressed gratitude, this visit from Li Qin was indeed timely, was she worried he was injured at the Fire Storage Pagoda and unable to represent the Li Family in the competition, or did she have another purpose?
"Did Brother Xiao have a breakthrough?"
Li Qin placed the gift box on the table and then asked casually.
"By chance, gained some insights, my strength has slightly improved."
The aura of Second Realm and Third Realm were completely different, even though Lin Chen restrained his aura, it was still much stronger than before, Li Qin could perceive this, unsurprisingly.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao."
"Also, congratulations to Miss Li."
Lin Chen smiled slightly, Li Qin was momentarily stunned, then understood Lin Chen’s implication.
Lin Chen represents the Li Family, the stronger his strength, the higher the success rate in Alchemy, truly a cause for celebration for the Li Family.
After some pleasantries, Li Qin asked with a smile: "Does Brother Xiao have any matters in Hundred Refinements City?"
"No, nothing."
"If not, why not head to Thousand Mechanism City early? This disappearance of Cyan Li True Flame even alarmed the Thousand Mechanism Sect, strong individuals might come to investigate. Heading to Thousand Mechanism City early might avoid complications, what does Brother Xiao think?"
"Miss Li is very thoughtful, I agree!"
Lin Chen saw Yin Yue’s expression unchanged and knew going to Hundred Refinements City and Thousand Mechanism City wouldn’t interfere with what Yin Yue needed to do, he agreed readily.
