Chapter 51: Flame Devouring Wave Scale? Mid-level of Heavenly Yuan Realm!
In the blink of an eye, it had been half a month since Lin Yan began practicing using the Gathering Spirit Array.
During this half-month period, with the help of the Gathering Spirit Array, Lin Yan's cultivation smoothly advanced to the early stage of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. However, Lin Yan felt that he could still break through further.
Utilizing the abundant spiritual energy within the Gathering Spirit Array and several types of cultivation-enhancing pills obtained from Elder Yao, Lin Yan's cultivation rate was astonishingly rapid.
At this moment, Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the bed in his room. His eyes were closed slightly, hands forming seals, and pure elemental energy appeared on his body's surface like faint fluorescence.
His breathing was steady, and with each exhalation, numerous elemental energies from heaven and earth continuously flowed into his body.
With this continuous cultivation, his aura became stronger, and the spiritual light on his body became even more dazzling.
Suddenly, the spiritual light on Lin Yan's body dimmed completely. Then, he opened his eyes, ending his cultivation session, and exhaled a breath.
"Finally, I've successfully broken through to the mid-level of the Heavenly Yuan Realm," Lin Yan said as he stood up, moving his body slightly.
Although he hadn't engaged in actual combat at the moment, he could still sense that the power within him was unprecedentedly strong.
"Congratulations, young friend, on another breakthrough in your cultivation realm," Elder Yao's figure appeared in time. He smiled and floated over to Lin Yan, congratulating him.
Lin Yan nodded at Elder Yao and then curiously asked, "Elder Yao, how does my cultivation level in the Heavenly Yuan Realm compare to the Martial Masters on the Douqi Continent?"
After some thought, Elder Yao replied, "It should be similar. Based on my observation, the realm of Martial Masters on the Douqi Continent is equivalent to the Heavenly Yuan Realm here. However, there are some differences. For example, the Heavenly Yuan Realm here tends to focus more on refining the body, making it stronger physically. On the other hand, the realm of Martial Masters may not have such a strong physical body, but their internal Douqi may be more abundant."
Lin Yan nodded in agreement with Elder Yao's analysis.
Then, with a mischievous smile, he said to Elder Yao, "Elder Yao, if I remember correctly, you still have many hidden martial arts skills, right? It seems there's a ground-ranked martial art among them called the Flame Devouring Wave Scale."
Elder Yao was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, then burst into laughter. "So, you were waiting for me to mention it! I knew there was a reason for your sudden question."
Looking at Lin Yan with a helpless expression, Elder Yao laughed and said, "Alright! Since you're interested, I'll teach you that ground-ranked martial art in the future. Actually, I had planned to teach it to you earlier, but recently, you seem to have too many techniques in your hands."
Lin Yan agreed with a smile. "Okay, I'll look forward to it."
Lin Yan soon reviewed the various martial arts he had mastered. However, techniques like the Back-Piercing Fist and Eight Wilderness Palm no longer interested him. Currently, he mainly relied on the Eight Extremes Burst and Senluo Death Seal.
Through his testing, Lin Yan discovered that with the increase in his realm, both the Eight Extremes Burst and Senluo Death Seal seemed to unleash even more powerful abilities.
Especially the Eight Extremes Burst. When he punched, he suddenly felt a subtle hidden force on his fist. This surprised Lin Yan, and he asked Elder Yao, "Elder Yao, is this what you previously called 'hidden force'?"
Elder Yao nodded with a smile. "Yes, that's hidden force."
"It seems that today is a double celebration for you, young friend. Not only did you successfully break through your realm, but you also comprehended hidden force."
"In that case, it's only a matter of time before you fully master the Eight Extremes Burst!"
Elder Yao's tone became somewhat emotional at this point. Thinking back to when Lin Yan had just learned the Eight Extremes Burst under his guidance, he hadn't expected him to progress so quickly.
Lin Yan's talent made him feel a bit ashamed.
"Then let's focus on mastering the Eight Extremes Burst first!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yan quickly made a decision. Although the Eight Extremes Burst was only an advanced Xuan-ranked martial art, if he could fully refine it, it would be comparable to a ground-ranked one.
Since he had just begun to comprehend hidden force, he naturally wanted to make the most of it and complete mastering the Eight Extremes Burst as soon as possible.
Lin Yan soon began to practice the Eight Extremes Burst again. However, to his surprise, just as he was about to start, he sensed that the formations outside had been triggered. This made Lin Yan's eyebrows furrow, and he immediately ran outside.
"Oh no, I forgot to deactivate the Fire Spirit Formation I set up outside."
On the other side, Lin Dong's strength had greatly increased after completing the Divine Movement Chapter's cultivation.
In the end, being a symbol master fundamentally meant using another form of elemental energy manifestation. The only difference was that this method required mental power as a driving force.
And the Divine Movement Chapter was used to cultivate mental power.
Lin Dong had a good talent in this aspect. After half a month of cultivation, his mental power had greatly increased. Now, he could rely on his mental power to deal with opponents.
Although his own cultivation had not yet broken through to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, using this method to deal with Heavenly Yuan Realm warriors was not difficult.
"Let's go find Brother Lin Yan."
"He said he was going to come find me last time to get the Divine Movement Chapter for cultivation, but he hasn't come yet."
"He probably forgot."
"I need to bring it to him. This thing is very useful, and he should learn it too."
Talking to himself, Lin Dong hurried to Lin Yan's residence.
But as soon as he entered, he accidentally stepped into the Fire Spirit Formation Lin Yan had set up earlier. Suddenly, a terrifying heat rushed towards Lin Dong, and as he stepped into the formation, Lin Dong found himself unable to move for a while, only able to rely on his internal elemental and mental power to resist.
"What is this thing?"
"Why is it so domineering?"
Lin Dong defended while feeling somewhat shocked. Although he couldn't be harmed by the Fire Spirit Formation due to his current strength, Lin Dong had never seen such a strange formation before.
"Release!"
Lin Yan's voice sounded just in time.
After that, accompanied by Lin Yan's voice, his figure appeared directly in front of Lin Dong. Then, the pressure on Lin Dong suddenly decreased, and the scorching heat that had been attacking him dissipated instantly.
"Brother Lin Yan, what was that thing I just stepped on?" Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief. But he immediately guessed that it was Lin Yan's doing and looked at Lin Yan with a surprised expression.
"Spirit Formation," Lin Yan answered with a smile, not hiding anything from Lin Dong.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he directly released all the Fire Spirit Formations that had been forgotten to be deactivated in the courtyard.
Lin Dong's mouth twitched at the sight.
He hadn't expected that there were so many Spirit Formations set up by Brother Lin Yan in the courtyard. He had experienced the power of these things before. Facing one was manageable for him, but if one were to accidentally trigger them one after another, it would be like stepping on landmines. Even Lin Dong felt a bit wary.
"Come in and have a seat," Lin Yan smiled and said to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong followed obediently.
But as soon as he entered, he felt an extremely pure elemental force rushing towards him.
Lin Dong was somewhat dumbfounded. He felt that the elemental force here was extremely dense. He hadn't even started cultivating yet, but he could feel his internal elemental force uncontrollably increasing as soon as he entered.
Unable to help himself, he looked at Lin Yan and pointed at the glowing formation in front of him. "Brother Lin Yan, is this also a Spirit Formation?"
