Chapter 563: 532
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing the distress transmitted by Little White and Little Blue, Lin Yun's heart tensed up, and he quickly asked.
The lingering spirit inside the Blood Sword was incredibly cunning. Had it done something to Little White and Little Blue?
In the midst of speaking, Lin Yun immediately entered the Blood Sword with his mental strength.
"Brother, the lingering spirit made me and Little Blue contaminated by its aura, triggering an array inside the sword. Now, we're unable to get out..." Little White grumbled. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
"You and Little Blue can't get out? Are you both okay? What should we do? Is there a solution?" Hearing this, Lin Yun was shocked and quickly asked.
"Little Blue and I are fine, we just can't exit," Little White explained.
"Can I destroy this Blood Sword?" Lin Yun frowned and asked.
Even though the Blood Sword was valuable, in his view, the safety of Little White and Little Blue was paramount.
Moreover, the materials used to craft the Blood Sword weren't simple. Even if the sword was destroyed, it should still be worth some Spirit Crystals.
As for Spirit Crystals, as long as he had enough of them, Lin Yun wasn't too greedy.
Furthermore, since the Blood Sword was a demonic weapon, selling it as it was might cause a catastrophe. His sin would be great.
Destroying it and selling its material was a considerable option.
"We can't. Right now, Little Blue's aura and mine are linked with the lingering spirit's aura within the Blood Sword. If you were to destroy it, I fear we would get hurt, and might even die," Little White shook his head and spoke.
"What on earth is this lingering spirit plotting..." Lin Yun expressed his irritation.
He knew it, the Blood Sword's lingering spirit wasn't simple. Now, even Little White and Little Blue were trapped within it.
In the short term, they may not encounter any problem. However, the Blood Sword was the lingering spirit's home turf. Who knew what would happen to Little White and Little Blue over time?
They couldn't harm it, nor could they destroy it.
At this point, Lin Yun was suspecting that the lingering spirit had entrapped Little White and Little Blue just to prevent him from destroying the Blood Sword.
"Brother, the only solution now is to return to Earth, to the two Yin-Yang trees at the Sanqing Palace. Only there can Little Blue and I be drawn out. As the objects where we were born, they have a special pull for us," Little White hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Back to Earth, to the Yin-Yang trees at the Sanqing Palace?" Lin Yun responded, puzzled.
"Okay, I'll head back there as soon as I can," Lin Yun nodded.
At present, his strength had increased astronomically from when he left Earth.
Though the level ten beings once held destructive power over him, he was now indifferent to them.
According to the Holy Mother, the real strong beings were all busy cultivating, many residing in the Heavenly-outside-Heaven of the Immortal World, seldom being on Earth. Given Earth's weak heavenly power, even if there were strong beings residing there, none could be too powerful.
In which case, a trip back there might not be such a bad idea.
Years had passed, and he did want to go back.
That place was, after all, his homeland.
And there was the Qingyun Company, its many people, and so many issues...
When he left, due to his limited power, there were many disturbances he couldn't resolve, leaving a complete mess behind.
He was somewhat worried.
"But, Brother, Little Blue and I being unable to exit is also a great constraint on the lingering spirit. Its power is still weaker than ours. Plus, having us contaminated by its aura also drained it a lot. You can use this sword again to increase your strength," Little White suddenly recalled and quickly added.
"Hmm?" Lin Yun was intrigued.
Currently, his strength was equivalent to a level eleven beginner cultivator. If his strength was further increased, he might reach the strength of a level eleven mid-term cultivator.
Although this strength wasn't as great as that of Mingdu and his group, it was still significant.
Currently, the strongest among them was Shenger, who had a level eleven mid-term martial artist's strength.
If his strength also reached this level, it would be a significant enhancement to their collective strength.
However, right then, Lin Yun thought of something and immediately asked, "Will this have any impact on you and Little Blue? If this Blood Sword's lingering spirit also becomes stronger, what about you and Little Blue..."
"Don't worry, Brother. Hmph, it dared to have Little Blue and I contact its aura, now the constraints of the Blood Sword on us have lessened a lot. I feel the blood essence power you will absorb using the Blood Sword, Little Blue and I can also absorb. Thus, catching up with us won't be easy for it.." Little White hummed.
"Alright, I'll give it another try. If anything feels wrong, let me know immediately." After some thought, Lin Yun said.
At this moment, he could only give it a try.
Merely having the power equivalent to a level eleven early-stage cultivator was still somewhat weak.
Huff-
Next, with a thought, Lin Yun once again took out the Blood Sword from the trading space.
This time, without the lingering spirit's mischief, the murderous intention transmitted to him by the Blood Sword had significantly lessened.
"Sssh!"
Lin Yun extracted a corpse of a level ten being and plunged the sword into it.
"Boom——"
A burst of blood light exploded from him and his Blood Sword, his power began to rapidly escalate once again.
"This feeling of rapidly increasing power is truly captivating..."
A thought dawned within Lin Yun's heart.
As long as one killed, rapid power increase was inevitable; others may take hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years without making a single step forward, but a swordsman could reach there within a few breaths, a few dozen breaths.
Imagine, who could resist such a temptation?
Even without those maddening thoughts of killing, many wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to kill for power progression.
"Perhaps the formation of these murderous thoughts is greatly linked to this emotional state of the sword wielders..."
Lin Yun was deep in thought.
Now, he could depict spirits, having carried out certain studies on their birth and properties.
The pervasive thoughts of murder, were either due to the swordsmith's excessive murderous intent seeping into the sword, or the continual use of the Blood Sword by the wielder which eventually blended in deep down.
"Buzz——"
A hundred breaths later, Lin Yun's body shivered.
The sky and earth changed colors.
It was him, breaking through to the Mid Term Realm of Level 10, causing a reaction in the world again.
"Broke through from the early stage of the tenth level to the mid-term of the tenth level?"
"Is that still Lin Yun's breath?"
"What on earth is going on?"
Many people around sensed the movement and exclaimed in surprise.
How long had it been?
A few minutes?
A few minutes ago, Lin Yun broke through from the ninth level to the tenth level, and a few minutes later, Lin Yun broke through from the early stage of the tenth level to the mid-term of the tenth level, isn't this too absurd?
"Are you kidding me?"
Mingdu was somewhat dumbfounded.
He couldn't believe Lin Yun's realm was advancing at such a fast pace.
Even the Cosmic Trading System couldn't have achieved this so quickly.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the one who plucked the Heavenly-luck Flower himself, he would doubt that Lin Yun was the one who got the Heavenly-luck Flower and is currently using it to increase his realm.
"Can the Heavenly-luck Flower improve a person's cultivation realm this quickly?" he questioned, furrowing his brow.
He didn't really know this matter.
At this moment, he even doubted that before his arrival, Lin Yun had obtained another Heavenly-luck Flower, or perhaps at some point, Lin Yun had switched the Heavenly-luck Flower.
Thinking along these lines, he began to search for information about the use of Heavenly-luck Flower on the Cosmic Trading System.
Use of Heavenly-luck Flower allows a person to advance one level in cultivation in one hour..."
Soon, Mingdu found the results and breathed a sigh of relief.
So to speak, Lin Yun definitely did not obtain the Heavenly-luck Flower.
However, why was Lin Yun continuously releasing the aura of breakthrough?
Could it be that Lin Yun really had broken through to the mid-term of the tenth level?
He frowned, momentarily unable to unknot the truth about this matter.
"Brother, are you okay?"
"Lin Yun!"
Outside Lin Yun's cultivation room, the voices of Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing resounded again, ringing with concern and a hint of worry.
The movement of Lin Yun's breakthrough was unusually loud.
Others might not have known, but they were all too aware.
Before this, Lin Yun's Martial Arts Realm was only at the early stage of Level Nine.
There was a silence within Lin Yun's cultivation room.
Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing anxiously waited. The last time they asked, Lin Yun had quickly responded.
Could something have happened to Lin Yun?
Unfortunately, Lin Yun had laid multiple barriers within the cultivation room, along with Peak Level Ten mental strength shields. Even if Lin Mengmeng's mental strength also reached the Peak Level Ten, she could not detect anything.
