Chapter 584: Chapter 298: Divine Healing Skills_2
He was still two levels away from perfection, and with the creation and evolution of the tenth layer, he would attempt to break through his current realm. He planned to accomplish this within one hundred and forty years, relying heavily on the guidance of Pill Immortal Master. The more he could learn, the quicker he could achieve his goal.
Next, Lin Yi maintained his semi-closed-door cultivation. Occasionally coming out for some fresh air, but most of his time was spent in the Dan God Secret Realm, learning from Zhang Dao Xuan, which enabled him to rapidly increase his cultivation levels.
Quickly, two years passed. There was no sign of a phenomenon indicating the breakthrough in the cultivation realm on Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng’s side, indicating that the plan to use the Longevity Pill to overcome the cultivation bottleneck had failed.
However, given his continued closure, he might still be trying to achieve that breakthrough.
Unfortunately, the lifespan provided by the Longevity Pill is merely like rootless wood. In other words, it barely keeps people alive. For pursuing cultivation and improving the cultivation realm, the difficulty is immense.
Of course, according to the historical records of the Cultivation World, there have been instances of breaking through the realm within the lifespan provided by the Longevity Pill. However, such cases are even fewer than the ones where cultivators with lower-grade spiritual roots achieve the Nascent Soul realm.
The Nascent Soul Realm is the final stage of cultivation before ascending to the Upper Realm, and its difficulty is immense. Countless cultivators with superior, even supreme-grade spiritual roots at the Golden Core Real Person level have failed to achieve it and died regretfully.
But Lin Yi still wanted to help his senior brother, even though his foundation appeared to have fully recovered after taking the Supreme-grade Resurrection Pill, under the observation of Eye of Emptiness. Perhaps, there are still some minor flaws.
Therefore, he wanted to use the power of Rejuvenation Arts Divine Power to mend Zhou Yun Feng, treating a dead horse as if it were alive. Who knows? It might work.
Naturally, he would not openly heal him but would help covertly. He would not expose anything beyond his current realm, even before Master Golden Sword and his fellow disciples.
Having made his decision, Lin Yi hesitated no longer and flew towards the Golden Sword Ancestor Peak on his sword. By now, Zhou Yun Feng’s own lifespan had been exhausted, and the life-giving effect of the Longevity Pill reduced year by year, reducing the usable spiritual power. When used at full power, life would be consumed rapidly.
That’s why all the cultivators in the Liu Yun Sect were so grateful when True Monarch of DanYang from the Medicine God Valley came to rescue them, and the cultivators from outside were so astonished.
If he hadn’t come to help, he could have lived a few more years. However, coming to help meant using all his strength, inevitably leading to his death on the battlefield.
After arriving at Golden Sword Ancestor Peak, Lin Yi directly entered the courtyard of the Cave Mansion. Although the place was guarded by a protective array, Master Golden Sword had given them an Array Method Jade Plate, which allowed them to enter and exit the courtyard freely.
A short while later, the figure of Master Golden Sword appeared, “Little Yi, you’re here for your senior brother, aren’t you?”
Lin Yi smiled and replied: “Master really is omniscient. It’s not right for the senior brother to keep himself closed up all the time. If he really can’t break through, he should come out to relax. Maybe he’ll have a new epiphany.”
Listening to Lin Yi’s words, Master Golden Sword breathed a sigh, “Your senior sister thinks the same. If it’s confirmed that temporarily it is impossible to break through, continuing to insist is just squandering precious life.”
“Master, what is the senior brother’s opinion?” Lin Yi couldn’t help but ask. In such matters, even the Master couldn’t make decisions for him.
“He said he would try again for half a year, and if it didn’t work, he would come out. Now, it’s been over three months,” Golden Sword True Monarch looked in the direction of the cultivation cave mansion and shook his head.
Lin Yi followed Golden Sword Master’s gaze towards the cultivation cave mansion. At this moment, he enabled the Eye of Emptiness. Although progress had been made compared to before he took the Longevity Pill, he was still some distance away from the true transformation from the Golden Core into the Nascent Soul.
He slowly uttered, “I wish Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng a successful breakthrough.”
“Everything depends on fate,” Golden Sword True Monarch said calmly. He also truly wished that his eldest disciple could successfully break through and advance to the level of Nascent Soul True Monarch. Unfortunately, things didn’t always go as people wished. In his view, there was hardly any hope left.
Soon after, Lin Yi bid farewell to Master Golden Sword and returned to Yun Yi Peak. A few months later, he received a message from Zhou Yun Feng that he had left the retreat to deal with some matters and would visit Yun Yi Peak later.
This was within his expectations. After all, now coming out of retreat almost meant that the plan to break through to the Nascent Soul had declared a failure, with no more possibility of breakthrough. Naturally, he had to handle the affairs within the sect and even prepare for his afterlife matters.
After about half a month, Lin Yi received a message again, responded, and shortly after, Zhou Yun Feng and Qi Jing Yu both arrived at Yun Yi Peak. He personally went to welcome them and took them back to the courtyard in the Cave Mansion.
By looking at him, Lin Yi could already tell how old his senior brother looked. His hair had grayed, and his face had many wrinkles.
Through the Divine Sense, only the life-giving effect of the Longevity Pill was supporting his body to stay alive. Once too much spiritual power was used, life would get consumed rapidly.
“Senior Brother, you now look like an elder,” Lin Yi joked.
“Hahaha, your senior sister has said the same. Now, at last, I look like the sect master,” Zhou Yun Feng said, laughing heartily. Although he seemed at ease, a slight regret persisted between his brows.
