Chapter 29: Eighth Layer of the Profound Clarity Realm

"Junior Brother Lingchen, do you know our Master?" Lin Yurou asked curiously. It was her first time seeing their Master pay so much attention to a new disciple. For years, she had been Master's only disciple. "No, I really haven't met Master before," Yang Lingchen mused. Yang Lingchen was also curious as to why Dongfang Yunbing had taken him as a disciple. "Junior Brother Lingchen, Master is truly good to you, even bestowing the Jade Cloud Pavilion upon you," Lin Yurou said with a hint of envy. "Is the Jade Cloud Pavilion special?" Yang Lingchen asked curiously. "Although the Jade Cloud Pavilion isn't an independent peak, it's the most unique place on the Heavenly Origin Main Peak. It's quiet, and the spiritual energy is rich, making it very suitable for cultivation," Lin Yurou explained. "That's great, I love quiet places." Yang Lingchen began to look forward to the Jade Cloud Pavilion. "Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Lingchen, you might be in for some big trouble soon," Lin Yurou said with a mischievous smile. "Trouble? What trouble?" Yang Lingchen asked, puzzled. "Sister Yan Yun has already announced to everyone that you are her man," Lin Yurou said, clearly enjoying his confusion. "She announced it, so what? What's the trouble with that?" Yang Lingchen said indifferently. "Do you know who Sister Yan Yun is?" Lin Yurou asked. "I really don't know much about her. Does she have some special status?" Yang Lingchen inquired. "Sister Yan Yun is the Heavenly Origin Palace's number one beauty, and she's also one of the Four Great Saint Sons. So, her admirers are practically everywhere in the Heavenly Origin Palace," Lin Yurou explained. "Her admirers aren't going to come looking for trouble with me, are they?" Yang Lingchen asked. "What do you think?" Lin Yurou rolled her eyes at him. After passing through several scenic mountain paths, the two finally arrived at the Jade Cloud Pavilion. It was a courtyard nestled against a cliff, with beautiful scenery and rich spiritual energy. Most importantly, it was incredibly quiet, perfect for secluded cultivation. After settling Yang Lingchen in, Lin Yurou left the Jade Cloud Pavilion. Yang Lingchen was quite satisfied with this elegant and tranquil pavilion. From now on, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone disturbing his cultivation. The rewards from this outer sect competition were quite generous: one million contribution points and ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. He now had over four million contribution points and about twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones. This kind of wealth probably surpassed many core disciples. Yang Lingchen entered the Vast Heaven Jade Space, then took out a large number of spirit stones and began to absorb them. At this moment, Yang Lingchen sat cross-legged amidst a pile of spirit stones. As the Vast Heaven Art circulated, the surrounding spirit stones transformed into wisps of white spiritual energy, enveloping him. After a few hours, Yang Lingchen finally touched the bottleneck of the seventh layer of the Profound Clarity Realm. "Break through!" Yang Lingchen roared. A thunderous rumble echoed within Yang Lingchen's body. He had finally broken through that barrier, successfully advancing to the seventh layer of the Profound Clarity Realm. Yang Lingchen didn't stop after his breakthrough. He took out countless pills and began to consume them. With the support of the top-grade Profound Clarity Pills, Yang Lingchen's cultivation began to surge wildly again in a short time. "Early stage of the seventh layer of the Profound Clarity Realm." "Middle stage of the seventh layer of the Profound Clarity Realm." "Peak of the seventh layer of the Profound Clarity Realm." At this point, Yang Lingchen once again touched the bottleneck of the eighth layer of the Profound Clarity Realm. He continued to refine the remaining spirit stones around him, striving to break through to the eighth layer of the Profound Clarity Realm in one go. He was very eager for strength now. The date of his agreed battle with Li Tianxing was approaching, and he didn't want to die on the arena. Moreover, Yang Lingchen would face countless challenges next. Without sufficient strength, he would only be humiliated. Another few hours passed in a flash. With Yang Lingchen's persistence, he finally broke through to the eighth layer of the Profound Clarity Realm and even pushed to the peak of the eighth layer with the help of pills. After his breakthrough, Yang Lingchen took out the Heavenly Origin Sword Scripture and began to comprehend it. He dared not forget Master's instructions. If he didn't master it within a month, who knew what punishment he would face? Just thinking of Dongfang Yunbing's terrifying aura made Yang Lingchen shiver. Since his transmigration, apart from that immortal lady he had encountered once, the Heavenly Origin Palace Master was definitely the most terrifying expert he had ever seen. Another two days passed in a blink of an eye. With Yang Lingchen's continuous comprehension, the Heavenly Origin Sword Scripture finally reached minor completion. The Heavenly Origin Sword Scripture was the most profound martial art in the Heavenly Origin Palace. Besides Dongfang Yunbing and the Grand Elders, no one else in the Heavenly Origin Palace had cultivated it yet. Yang Lingchen exited the Vast Heaven Jade Space. He planned to visit the Heavenly Origin Palace's Inner Sect Exchange Hall. During this cultivation session, all his spirit stones had been consumed, and most of his pills were gone too. Changing into an inner sect disciple's robe and tidying himself up, Yang Lingchen left the Jade Cloud Pavilion. Inner Sect Exchange Hall. This was a magnificent hall with an ancient aura, clearly having existed for countless years. The items that could be exchanged here were infinitely more advanced than those in the Outer Sect Exchange Hall. Yang Lingchen took out his identity token, spent three million contribution points to exchange for a pile of alchemy ingredients and some spirit stones, then walked out of the exchange hall. "You little bastard, let's see who can protect you today." Li Tianxing and Li Xinyi walked over with sinister eyes, blocking Yang Lingchen's path. "Li Tianxing, are you in such a hurry to die?" Yang Lingchen's lips curled into a cold smile. At this moment, he no longer feared Li Tianxing. "You little bastard, if you have the guts, come to the Life-and-Death Arena with me now," Li Tianxing said coldly. "Lead the way," Yang Lingchen sneered. Since Li Tianxing wanted to seek death early, Yang Lingchen had no reason to refuse him. "You've got guts. We'll see how you die later." Li Tianxing turned and walked away. Yang Lingchen followed behind him, heading towards the Inner Sect Life-and-Death Arena. Heavenly Origin Palace, Inner Sect Life-and-Death Arena. "Yang Lingchen, are you sure you want to accept Li Tianxing's life-and-death challenge?" The arena's enforcement elder frowned. "I'm sure," Yang Lingchen said with firm eyes.
