For several days in a row, Lin Baichuan had wandered around Hangu Pass, familiarizing himself with some of its local customs and traditions.
Although the Jade Slip his nominal master, Saber River Immortal King, had given him contained detailed introductions.
There was still a vast difference between reading about it and experiencing it firsthand.
This day.
Within the courtyard cave dwelling, Lin Baichuan sat cross-legged atop the Ninth Rank Azure Lotus, profound ripples of aura emanating from his body.
A strand of golden merit light transformed into roaring flames, burning wildly around him.
Boom...
Suddenly, a sound like great bells and grand chimes resounded from the void between heaven and earth. Boundless Law Power surged forth from endless planes and poured into Lin Baichuan's body.
Streams of powerful Law Origin aura surged forth, condensing into seven profound runes.
They immediately merged into the sea of consciousness between Lin Baichuan's brows.
The next moment, Lin Baichuan's aura began to soar wildly.
Terrifying pressure swept in all directions. The fearsome power of the Heaven and Earth Laws shook violently at that moment, transforming into a dreadful vortex that merged into Lin Baichuan's body.
This phenomenon continued for several hours before finally coming to a complete end.
"Phew..."
Seated atop the Ninth Rank Azure Lotus, Lin Baichuan slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. Brilliant light immediately flashed within his pupils.
"The Ascension Secret Realm has finally broken through..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Baichuan willed his consciousness toward the system's Attribute Panel.
