Secluded Cultivation Breakthrough

This kind of life was peaceful and idyllic for Lin Qing. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to advance one rank in a year like before, unless he used the Bodhi Heart, a rare and precious item.

As the sun rises and sets, time slips away quietly in the midst of cultivation and daily life.

During this period, thanks to Lin Qing's resource support, Xiao Yu and others also entered the Inner Academy a year after Xiao Yi Xian entered it. They were accompanied by several acquaintances, such as Liu Qing and Han Yue.

Han Yue formed a female faction called Moon Spirit, just like in the original timeline. However, with the addition of Xiao Yu Xue Mei and others, and its own Alchemist, Moon Spirit is now far more powerful than before.

However, after learning about it, Lin Qing didn't pay much attention to it anymore. He greeted Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others, and then entered the Magma World at the bottom of the tower to cultivate in seclusion. He decided to break through to the Dou Zong level in one go. Knowing the original work well, he knew that the strength of the Dou Emperor Peak was nothing. In the later stages, Dou Zong was as common as dogs, and Dou Venerable was everywhere.

The strength of Dou Emperor did not give Lin Qing enough sense of security. He understood that on this continent where powerful people gathered, only by constantly improving his strength could he ensure his life was well protected!

Moreover, to refine Eighth-Grade Pill, one's minimum cultivation level must be at the Dou Zong.

After jumping into the Fire Well, Lin Qing did not hesitate and leaped into the Cave Dwelling he had once created.

After sitting down cross-legged, Lin Qing took out the prepared Sect-Breaking Pill and Sect Extreme Pill, and then took out a refined Dan Bead. He quickly swallowed the Medicinal Pill and the Dan Bead. As he swallowed the Medicinal Pill and the Dan Bead, he felt a pure and powerful energy rapidly flowing through his meridians into his limbs and bones.

Lin Qing's entire body trembled. Such a large amount of energy was equivalent to more than ten years of accumulation. Perhaps this was the charm of Medicinal Pill, which is why the profession of Alchemist has always been popular.

After all, Medicinal Pill can save cultivation time, which can be considered a kind of cheat code in another sense.

Lin Qing quickly formed hand seals, and his eyes gradually closed.

In just a few minutes, Lin Qing successfully entered a meditative state, and then a terrifying suction force slowly surged out from his body.

A large amount of fire-elemental energy around him turned into mist, which was inhaled into his body with each breath.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Flames within his body also surged forth, actively filtering out the Fire Poison.

As the suction force intensified, this long-quiet Magma World began to come alive. The bubbles in the magma started to rise and burst rapidly, and countless powerful fire-attribute energies transformed into streams of pure energy that surged into the Cave Dwelling.

Lin Qing, at the center of the Cave Dwelling, also transformed into an energy black hole, devouring all the energy that had been tempered by the Heavenly Flames.

Lin Qing controlled the vast energy to circulate rapidly along the path of the Swallowing Heaven Scripture Cultivation Technique. During this circulation, he could clearly perceive that his meridians, bones, muscles, and even cells were frantically absorbing the energy contained in the Medicinal Pill and the energy flowing in from the outside. In this process of absorption, they were also rapidly strengthening themselves.

Under the influence of the energy, his already strengthened body became even more flexible.

The energy required to break through to the Dou Emperor is absolutely massive, but with the replenishment of two Medicinal Pills and a refined Dan Bead, plus the rich fire-attribute energy in the outside world, he is absolutely confident that he can break through to the Dou Zong level in one go.

However, even with all the preparations complete, it will still take quite some time to break through to the Dou Zong.

Lin Qing sat cross-legged in the Cave Dwelling like an old monk in deep meditation. Crimson flames tightly enveloped Lin Qing, and streams of energy constantly passed through the flames, eventually pouring into his body.

In this Magma World, time seemed to have no concept, and Lin Qing continuously digested and absorbed energy.

The aura emanating from his body was gradually increasing at a slow pace. Although this speed seemed slow, it was quietly climbing towards the chasm that spanned between the Dou Emperor and Dou Zong. At this rate, reaching or even breaking through to that realm was only a matter of time.

In this state of near-forgetfulness, time slips away like sand through one's fingers, silently passing without causing the slightest ripple.

When Lin Qing reached the point where he crossed that chasm, it was also the time he broke through to the Dou Zong and emerged from seclusion.

Ten days, twenty days, one month, two months...

Once in a meditative state, Lin Qing never withdrew from it, remaining motionless like an old monk.

These days, Lin Qing has been continuously using that immense energy to temper his meridians, bones, muscles, and even cells.

At the same time, the Dou Qi within Lin Qing's body gradually became more and more powerful, flowing like a river through his meridians.

Meanwhile, the aura within Lin Qing's body gradually increased to a terrifying level. Although he had not yet broken through to the Dou Emperor, it was at least two or three times stronger than before.

The transformation in his aura did not allow Lin Qing to directly break through to the Dou Zong, which shows just how difficult it is to reach the Dou Zong level.

Yun Shan only sought out the Soul Hall after failing to break through; even Lin Qing was only confident of breaking through within six months.

At the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, at the Fire Well to the Underground Magma World, four guardian elders were standing guard. At the same time, the Fallen Heart Flame they were protecting was burning obediently Fire Gathering Pot.

"Sigh! Elder Lin has been gone for so long, why is there still no movement?" one of the elders said.

"Breaking through to the Dou Zong isn't easy! Dou Zong! I just don't know if I'll ever have the chance to reach that level in my lifetime!" another elder said, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Let's wait!"

The four were talking when they were interrupted by a loud roar!

"Boom!"

Then, they felt a violent energy ripple coming from underground. This energy ripple caused intense vibrations, which then became increasingly violent.

The four men exchanged glances, noticing a strange glint in each of their old buddies' eyes.

"It seems like a breakthrough has been achieved!"

This unexpected turn of events naturally drew the attention of the students and elders in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, and others in the Inner Academy also noticed the changes within the Qi Training Pagoda.

Su Qian and the others flew to the top of the Qi Training Pagoda and began instructing the elders to organize the students to evacuate, and also set up Spatial Barrier...

At the same time, in the underground Cave Dwelling world, streams of energy from heaven and earth seemed to be drawn towards Lin Qing.

At this moment, Lin Qing's aura suddenly surged, and a powerful aura emanated from the cave, spreading outwards to the Magma World outside the Cave Dwelling, causing that area to tremble.
