Soon, Lin Chen and his group erged from the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and by then it was completely dark.
So they agreed to et again at midday the next day to distribute the rewards for this mission and have a good rest for the night.
That night, Lin Chen returned to Nanping County City and spent the entire night cultivating.
The next day, Lin Chen got up early, stopping his cultivation just as dawn was breaking. Then he thought about how he wasn't familiar with any places in Nanping County City, so he had no choice but to continue cultivating in his room until the agreed-upon midday, then he stepped out.
After stepping out, Lin Chen's previously solid aura seed a bit unsteady, yet he appeared excited rather than displeased.
It turned out that through this period of cultivation, Lin Chen had suppressed his cultivation to the point where he couldn't suppress it any further. He had vaguely touched the barrier of the next realm, which was the eighth level of Divinity Transformation, and Lin Chen could feel that his breakthrough would occur in the coming days!
After leaving his room, Lin Chen headed straight for the edge of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. He was the first to arrive, followed by the others from the Mu Tie rcenary Group, arriving one after another, and finally Fang Xiaolian, completing the assembly.
Mu Tie scanned the group, his gaze lingering on Lin Chen with astonishnt, then said:
"Haha, you're all here, let's distribute the rewards. We have more rewards this ti. Let
divide them!"
In the end, Lin Chen received fifteen pieces of divine crystals, while Shi Hao, An Yanshan, and Fang Xiaolian each received ten pieces.
They all acknowledged Lin Chen's abilities and raised no objections, which Lin Chen accepted without hesitation.
After the distribution, Mu Tie smiled as he looked at Lin Chen and said:
"Brother Lin Chen, you seem to be on the verge of a breakthrough, isn't that so?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao, Fang Xiaolian, and others imdiately widened their eyes at Lin Chen. Knowing that Lin Chen's power was only at the seventh level of Divinity Transformation and already capable of such combat strength, if he reached the eighth level, wouldn't his combat strength climb another notch?
Especially Fang Xiaolian, who looked at Lin Chen in astonishnt. She was well aware of Lin Chen's strength; when she was ambushed by the ghost shadow cat, Lin Chen instantly unleashed his speed, and that terrifying dark golden Sword Qi, although not aid at her, she noticed Lin Chen's exceedingly strong attack power, far beyond the normal seventh level of Divinity Transformation.
Although Fang Xiaolian herself appeared to be a genius, compared to Lin Chen's formidable combat power, she seed sowhat inferior. Moreover, this was without knowing Lin Chen's true age; Lin Chen's appearance looked around thirty to forty years old, but due to the cultivation reason, his actual age should be several decades older. Yet unbeknownst, Lin Chen was truly just in his twenties!
Therefore, upon hearing of Lin Chen's imminent breakthrough, Shi Hao and An Yanshan both expressed admiration, while Fang Xiaolian showed a complex expression, her thoughts unknown.
As for Lin Chen, he wasn't surprised by Mu Tie's insight into his situation, as his aura would be fluctuating before a breakthrough, easily detectable.
Moreover, everyone was part of a team; it might be acceptable to hide so techniques, but concealing one's cultivation realm would be sowhat not honorable, akin to having ulterior motives, hence Lin Chen chose not to hide it, nodding while saying:
"Yes! The cultivation over the past few days has borne fruit; I should break through soon!"
Prior to leaving the Sword Pavilion, Lin Chen's cultivation had reached late-stage Divinity Transformation seventh level. Subsequently, after days of traveling while calmly cultivating, and later after defeating Xiao Jie in battle.
Although there was so leeway in the battle against Xiao Jie, no matter what, Xiao Jie was a master at the divine spirit level; Lin Chen defeated him by utilizing all his strength and deepening his insights during the fight.
Then during this period of cultivation and contemplation, finally, under Lin Chen's persistent suppression, the barrier of the eighth level of Divinity Transformation was touched, and it seed this breakthrough was imminent.
Yet all of this was achieved through Lin Chen's own hard work in cultivation, therefore he showed little emotion about it.
Seeing Lin Chen admitting it directly, everyone revealed a look of astonishnt, with Mu Tie saying:
"Brother Lin Chen, you are the strongest person at the seventh level of Divinity Transformation I've known; once you break through to the eighth level, your strength will surely advance further, and you will be closer and closer to the divine spirit realm. Perhaps breaking through to divinity isn't far off as well!"
Upon hearing Mu Tie's words, everyone was surprised, yet considering Lin Chen's astonishing strength, they quickly accepted it.
After so more pleasantries, Mu Tie spoke about the next task, which wasn't particularly difficult and within the team's capability.
Though the task was simple, it took ti and was sowhat troubleso, so for the next two days Lin Chen and his group were based in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Though there were dangers along the way, they passed through unscathed, and during this period Lin Chen made several interventions, pressing his unsteady power to the limit.
At this ti, after dismissing Mu Tie and the others, Lin Chen arrived alone at a concealed mountain cave.
This cave was discovered inadvertently while pursuing a magical beast earlier and was definitely hidden from others. Therefore Lin Chen felt quite at ease here.
Casually setting up a couple of alert formations outside the cave, Lin Chen entered the cave, threw out several pieces of divine crystals, then sat cross-legged, calming his mind, quickly entering the state of cultivation.
At this mont, within Lin Chen's Dantian, Xiaolian was also beginning to refine divine essence. However, the divine essence absorbed from the outside and the divine crystals was not much; more was involved in compressing and refining the divine essence within Lin Chen's ridians.
Furthermore, as more divine essence entered the ridians, which were already saturated, they imdiately swelled, so swollen that Lin Chen felt a palpable and impending pain, yet he gritted his teeth, enduring it.
Within the Dantian, Xiaolian continued to purify and compress divine essence into Lin Chen's ridians, with Lin Chen enduring the swelling pain from his ridians, continuously charging toward that ethereal barrier of the next realm.
Finally, a sound of shattering was heard!
