Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Thirty-Three: Advancement

The cave was unusually quiet at this moment, with only some deep breathing. These breathing came from Lin Yu in the corner. When Lin Yu first started refining the Nine Dragon Grass, he felt exceptionally comfortable, both physically and mentally.

However, Lin Yu had been suppressing his desire to break through to the sixth level, wanting to absorb more energy and then break through that membrane in one fell swoop to enter the sixth level of solidification. Just as he reached his peak state, with each cycle of the "Nine Heavens Transformation Witchcraft Technique" in his body, a pain would slowly spread throughout his entire body, bringing Lin Yu immense suffering.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth, trying his best not to make a sound, but his breathing became heavier and heavier. He could no longer refine the dark green particles in his body. This was mainly because the energy in Lin Yu's body was saturated and could not be absorbed again unless Lin Yu broke through to a new level.

The pain assaulted his entire body, piercing Lin Yu like flames burning him. Lin Yu, who was cultivating, felt that his condition had reached its peak, and the next thing to do was to break through to the sixth level of the Body Solidification Realm.

The dark green surrounding Lin Yu was so dense that anyone from the outside wouldn't think there was a human inside. Of course, Lin Yu was unaware of all this, as he was only thinking about breaking through to a new realm.

The Nine Heavens Transformation Witchcraft Technique is divided into three levels. Lin Yu has already reached the second stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm. As long as his strength reaches the sixth level of the Body Solidification Realm, the technique will naturally reach the last stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm, cultivating inner spiritual power. Inner spiritual power is very different from the elements; they are not the same type, but they are closely related.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, Lin Yu possesses the strength of the second level of Spirit Seizing. This doesn't mean he lacks talent in spiritual cultivation, but rather that Lin Yu has focused his main efforts on improving his body refinement. After all, to cultivate the Five Elements Technique, one needs to lay a solid foundation with strong strength. If he were to encounter the 'Heart of Elements' in the future, he wouldn't have to give up due to his low strength; at least he would still have the strength to fight back.

Moreover, there are many ways to improve one's spiritual cultivation. A major breakthrough may occur when there is a chance encounter. Of course, one's own efforts are also essential. Having unparalleled talent will allow one to go further and further on the path of spiritual cultivation.

The five elemental seeds within his body, along with the unfathomable five-colored imprint, gave Lin Yu great hope in spiritual cultivation and body refinement. Although Lin Yu could not yet properly control the five-colored imprint, it still gave him a very extraordinary feeling. Lin Yu could easily control the five elemental seeds, making him more intimately connected with the elements.

Lin Yu had entered a state of complete absorption, his expression turning grim in an instant. The five-colored mark within his body continued to release its elements rhythmically, while the elemental seeds tirelessly absorbed them. The two complemented each other perfectly.

It was precisely because of the close cooperation between the two that Lin Yu was able to make continuous progress in spiritual cultivation. However, a string of dark green particles inadvertently disrupted the harmony between the two. The particles split into two groups, one group came to the side of the five-color mark, and the other group came to the side of the white spiritual seed.

Suddenly, they moved. Two batches of dark green particles rushed towards the five-color mark and the white spirit seed respectively. The batch of particles that had just touched the five-color mark disappeared without a trace in an instant. On the other hand, the batch of dark green particles that rushed towards the white spirit seed tightly surrounded it, and then turned into a green light and rushed towards the white spirit seed. In a moment, the two colors intertwined in Lin Yu's body, as if they were vying for the position.

Lin Yu had a vivid memory of all of this, but at this moment he was focused entirely on his cultivation technique. The dark green surrounding him gradually faded, and the movement of the technique within his body accelerated. Lin Yu felt the pressure increase exponentially. As if observing the signs around him, he released five-colored gas. This gas circulated within Lin Yu's body, sticking to every dark green particle it encountered and following closely behind.

Lin Yu only felt the pressure decrease when the five-colored mark released the five-colored gas. At the same time, the pain in his body also decreased, but the movement trajectory of the technique obviously accelerated. Lin Yu watched as the dark green particles in his body decreased little by little. A special feeling filled him, like a volcano about to erupt.

Finally, with a loud roar, Lin Yu felt a breakthrough, like Mount Hua erupting, incredibly comfortable. Lin Yu broke through to the sixth level of Body Solidification, but it didn't stop there. Waves of energy surged through Lin Yu, and his body silently endured it. The continuous energy propelled Lin Yu directly to the seventh level of Body Solidification, reaching the third stage of the Nine Heavens Transformation Witchcraft Technique, the first stage of the Transformation Witchcraft stage.

Lin Yu felt his strength rapidly increasing, reaching the seventh level of Body Solidification, which was something he hadn't expected. He originally thought he could only break through to the sixth level of Body Solidification, but he didn't expect to directly reach the seventh level.

Actually, this is quite reasonable. Lin Yu had experienced such a brutal battle, and during his recovery he had consumed the 'Snake Fruit'. This time he had also consumed the 'Nine Dragon Grass', and the enormous energy of it exploded in an instant, which allowed his strength to improve rapidly.

Just as Lin Yu was excited, the white spirit seed in his body began to shake. The green color on the white spirit seed disappeared, and now the two colors were intertwined. The elements around Lin Yu also appeared under the influence of the Five Elements Spirit Seed and rushed towards the Five Elements Spirit Seed.

Time continued, and Lin Yu sat cross-legged on the ground again, absorbing the surrounding elements of heaven and earth. When Lin Yu could absorb no more, the Five Elements Spirit Seeds emitted a dazzling light, which slowly enveloped Lin Yu's entire body. In an instant, Lin Yu stood up, his eyes staring straight ahead, his pupils burning like flames.

Feeling the closeness of the elements, as if the surrounding elements belonged to him, he casually stretched out his right hand, and a small fireball appeared in his hand. This fireball was not as big as usual, and appeared particularly small, but the temperature inside the fireball made Lin Yu feel surprised.

Although Lin Yu has not yet fully mastered the control of the elements, the Five Elements Spirit Seeds within his body constantly assist him, providing him with the greatest help, enabling him to easily control the elements. The first stage, the Spirit Seizing Realm, involves plundering the elements between heaven and earth and then using them for one's own purposes. Lin Yu has an incomparably strong advantage in this realm.

Lin Yu's strength at the fourth level of Spirit Seizure has increased by two levels compared to before, and his body refinement has also improved by two levels. He has also progressed from the fifth level of Body Solidification to the seventh level of Body Solidification. Lin Yu's gains this time can be described as very great. Of course, this is also due to opportunity, which can also be considered a kind of strength. The most important factor is Lin Yu's own potential.
