Time flowed like water, rushing onward.
Ever since Lin Baichuan returned from Maya Star and submitted his mission, he had remained in seclusion.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
Inside the courtyard cave abode.
Within one of the ancient, weathered palaces, Lin Baichuan sat cross-legged atop the Ninth Rank Azure Lotus, profound ripples of aura flickering around him.
At the same time, waves of golden light erupted from within his body.
Boom...
Suddenly, a sound like morning bells and evening drums burst forth from within him. Golden light blazed around his body, instantly enveloping him from head to toe.
It was only after a full hour that the surging might finally settled completely.
Lin Baichuan let out a long breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.
He could feel that the Eternal Immortal Fire within his body had completely fused into his heart, becoming an Immortal Heart that radiated roaring flames.
It was like a universe rising and falling, faintly sending endless Dao Rhyme sweeping outward.
The smile on Lin Baichuan's face deepened as he murmured, "I condensed an Immortal Heart and broke through into the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
"Not only that, the Immortal Golden Body has advanced another step as well, reaching thirty-three percent of the sixth transformation... This half-year of seclusion was well worth it..."
With that thought, Lin Baichuan focused his consciousness on the system panel.
