Chapter 24: Cultivating the mind

With a rumble, a new volcano, spewing rolling magma, appeared beside Lin Fan's body. It was vibrant and colorful, with auspicious clouds swirling.

It manifested in the Void Realm so realistically, it was incredible!

The volcano trembled slightly, and immediately, endless essence Qi surged forth, boiling within the crater, scattering light rain, and nourishing his body.

At this moment, Lin Fan transformed again. With each additional Cave Heaven Realm, his strength increased significantly, making his body radiant and flawless, as if he had attained the Dao and become an Immortal, sacred and ethereal.

"Another one!" Lin Fan was delighted, but this was also due to his deep accumulation. Laying a solid Foundation in the Blood Moving Realm gave him strong reserves.

If an ordinary Cultivator entered this Realm, opening one Cave Heaven Realm would be a blessing, let alone opening two consecutively.

But Lin Fan still felt he could Breakthrough. His reserves were strong, and he didn't feel fatigued. His Qi and blood surged like thunder, and he could even unleash Divine Radiance to temper the creations of Heaven and Earth.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, runes filled the sky, and Qi and blood soared, shaking the universe like surging waves crashing on the shore. Boundless order formed here, with myriad rays of light, shining brightly.

The third Cave Heaven Realm formed, suspended on Lin Fan's other side, emitting auspicious clouds and surging essence Qi, like endless crystal petals dancing, with wondrous light and color.

Together with the other two Cave Heaven Realms, they reflected each other, shining brightly, continuously drawing essence Qi from the Void Realm to replenish his body, making both his spirit and physique full.

Anomalies flew everywhere. The Purple Bamboo Forest seemed to come alive, responding with rustling sounds. In the lake, lotus flowers bloomed, and silver Dragon carps leaped out of the water from time to time, seemingly celebrating for him.

"It seems I can still Breakthrough," Lin Fan muttered to himself, a joyful expression on his face.

He remembered that the little one only opened three Cave Heaven Realms when he broke through, right?

If he broke through another Cave Heaven Realm, wouldn't he be even stronger than the little one?

Of course, this comparison was not very fair. One grew up in a small wilderness tribe, lacking resources, while he, ever since joining the Butian Sect, had never lacked sacred medicines or the flesh and blood of pure-blooded Vicious Beasts, so his potential was naturally greater.

But just as he was about to Breakthrough again, a clear and pleasant voice came, warning him, "Do not Breakthrough too quickly. Carefully comprehend your current Realm and familiarize yourself with your power, lest your Foundation become unstable and hidden dangers arise."

Lin Fan was startled by the words and replied, "I understand, Pretty Sister."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place returned to silence, as if that voice had never sounded.

But Lin Fan broke out in a cold sweat. He had almost lost himself in the power and blind comparison, forgetting that cultivation cannot be rushed. One must proceed step by step, steadily and surely, to solidify one's Foundation to go far.

If Qing Yao hadn't reminded him just now, he would have committed a great taboo in cultivation.

"Indeed, cultivation is also about cultivating the mind. Confidence is good, but blind confidence is undesirable. On the cultivation path, one must remain clear-headed and constantly reflect to go far."

However, breaking through three Cave Heaven Realms at once and advancing to the Middle Stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, he was already very satisfied, surpassing the vast majority of people.

Once this news spread, it would be enough to cause a great sensation and shock many of his peers.

At six or seven years old, while others were still exploring the Blood Moving Realm, he had already advanced to the next Realm and continuously broke through. It would probably make many people's jaws drop.

Even Qing Yao, who was sitting quietly in the bamboo house, couldn't help but be dumbfounded. If she hadn't stopped him, Lin Fan could have opened four Cave Heaven Realms at once.

This kind of Innate talent would definitely be an extraordinary tale if it spread. Few people would probably believe it!

But when she thought of Lin Fan's identity, it was no longer surprising.

The Cave Heaven Realm was a wonderful feeling. Not only was Lin Fan's body light, but with just a slight movement, he could generate explosive power several times greater than before, as if he were invincible.

But this was merely an illusion brought about by the sudden surge in power. He was still a small Cultivator and should not be presumptuous.

Immediately, Lin Fan sat cross-legged, carefully comprehending and stabilizing his Realm.

Three Cave Heaven Realms surrounded his body, continuously drawing essence Qi from the outside world into his body, making his entire being vibrant and in a peak state.

In an instant, light rain filled the area, engulfing Lin Fan, who was immersed within it, creating a mysterious scene.

"Why not first nurture some runes in the Cave Heaven Realm to prepare for the Spiritual Transformation Realm?" He couldn't help but think.

This was one of the methods of the Cave Heaven Realm, allowing one to nurture powerful runes to greatly increase the power of their Treasure Technique and use it more skillfully.

So, he acted immediately. First was his Innate Supreme Art, which was overbearing and assimilated all attacking Divine Abilities, transforming them into healing Divine Arts.

Currently, he had no good solution for it. It seemed the only option was to remove the Supreme Bone, but he would not do so unless absolutely necessary.

Because although this Supreme Bone had become a hindrance, it was also nourishing his body. His ability to easily break through the extreme limits was largely related to it.

At this moment, Lin Fan's chest glowed with vibrant green light, as if Immortal light flowed within it. Runes emerged one by one, engraving themselves into a Cave Heaven Realm.

Unconsciously, vegetation began to grow near the rocks, green shoots emerging from the soil. Plants grew rapidly, one after another.

Before long, flowers bloomed on the ground, and the vegetation grew to Lin Fan's waist height, exuding a rich fragrance.

Under the illumination of this green light, large groups of spiritual fish in the lake moved closer to the shore, just to bask in the vibrant life force.

And all living beings illuminated by the Supreme Art seemed to grow a size larger, especially the Dragon carp, one of the Eight Treasures. The silver light emitted by the scales on its body became even brighter, like divine blades.

Qing Yao, who had been watching from inside the bamboo house, couldn't help but feel surprised: "An Innate Supreme Art related to life? It's truly the opposite…"

Lin Fan's process of engraving his Supreme Art into the Cave Heaven Realm was very smooth and not very strenuous, as it was, after all, his own Innate Treasure Technique.

"Next is the Heaven Mending Skill!"

Not long after arriving at the Butian Sect, he learned this sect-founding Divine Ability.

However, he had only just scratched the surface of this Immortal Art and was not yet able to use it.

But this was not because his Comprehension Ability was poor, but rather because his current Realm was low, he had only studied it for a short time, and the Heaven Mending Skill was profound and powerful, making it impossible to master in a short period.

The reason why the Butian Sect could stand proudly in the Three Thousand Provinces, and even the Butian Path of the Nine Heavens, was inextricably linked to this Immortal Art.

In fact, as Lin Fan understood, the Butian lineage of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths also existed in the Immortal Domain, passed down by a True Immortal.

The skill involved time; in battle, one could reverse and restart. For example, Shi Yi's severed head could be reattached and restored to its original state, which was extremely abnormal.

"Indeed, time is supreme, and space is king. Just a True Immortal's time Divine Ability is so extraordinary, I wonder…"

Lin Fan thought of Wu Zhong Immortal King from the Immortal Ancient era and the Great Emperor Wu Shi of later generations, who had delved deeply into the Dao of time and were extremely powerful.

This also led to their suppression. One was ganged up on until he died, and the other was similar, hindered from achieving the Immortal Emperor fruit position and died defending the rear.

It was a full half-month later that Lin Fan stopped, facing the morning glow, absorbing the Divine Radiance. The three Cave Heaven Realms were internalized, and he had completely stabilized his current Realm, and engraved the runes of two powerful Divine Abilities into the Cave Heaven Realms.

As for the incomplete True Dragon and True Phoenix Ten Ferocious Treasures Technique in the Butian Sect, he had not learned them yet. It wasn't that Qing Yao wouldn't teach him, but rather that too much at once was hard to digest. He could learn them in the Spiritual Transformation Realm.

Moreover, the Butian Sect had many other Treasure Techniques and Divine Abilities. Although they were not as good as Immortal Arts or Ten Ferocious-level Treasure Techniques, they were currently the most suitable for Lin Fan to learn, to lay a Foundation, as there was still a long way to go.
