Chapter 38: Light Spots

After detailed analysis, Wang Lin felt the reason might be related to his cultivation in the dream Realm. He had deeply experienced the magical nature of the Mysterious Bead over the past few years.

Especially when performing breathing exercises in the dream Realm, he could already feel those luminous bodies around him emitting strange Light Spots that drilled into his body.

Wang Lin had studied these Light Spots for a long time but still didn't know their specific function.

Wang Lin no longer used the Cultivation Technique that concealed his cultivation. He self-deprecatingly thought that reaching the third layer of Qi Condensation in four years, especially while Cultivating in the Spiritual Qi-rich area of the back mountain, was explainable.

No one knew that he had already reached the third layer nearly twenty years ago in dream time!

Furthermore, he continued to practice the Gravity Spell every day for more than twenty years, and unknowingly, he had reached a terrifying Realm.

Looking across the entire Cultivation World of the State of Zhao, no one could compare to him, practicing the Gravity Spell, the most basic immortal technique, for over twenty years.

At this moment, a white light screen silently appeared from the sky, enveloping everyone. The warm feeling reappeared, but this time, Wang Lin noticed something different.

Strange symbols faintly flashed within the Light Screen. These symbols combined to form a constantly spinning Vortex, quickly pulling them in and causing everyone to disappear within the valley.

The instant Wang Lin left, he took a deep breath, feeling an impulse ready to burst forth within him. He formed an Incantation Gesture with his right hand inside his sleeve, and immediately, the Gravity Spell spread out. The stone walls of the entire stone cliff suddenly and neatly collapsed, creating an earth-shattering sound.

Zhang Kuang's expression changed drastically. He stared blankly at the scene before him, utterly bewildered and unsure of what had happened.

At this moment, Wang Lin had already stepped into the Light Screen with a faint smile.

When he reappeared, he was already in the Hengyue School's main hall. The Sect Leader, Senior Martial Uncle, was still wearing a blue robe, seated directly above, flanked by several elderly men.

The instant they appeared, several massive streams of Divine Sense swept over them. The Sect Leader, Senior Martial Uncle, smiled and nodded, saying, "Four years have passed in the blink of an eye. I am very gratified that all of you have made significant progress. Very good. Now, Disciples who have Cultivated to the fifth layer or above, please remain. The rest of you may disperse and report your four years of gains to your respective Masters. Three days from now, the Xuandao Sect will be visiting. Our Hengyue School must be victorious this time! As for the matter of changing your clothes once your cultivation reaches the required level, wait until after the exchange with the Xuandao Sect, and we will change them uniformly."

Everyone answered in unison. Disciples below the fifth layer of Qi Condensation left the main hall one after another. Wang Lin looked around but did not find Sun Dazhu.

After leaving the main hall, Wang Lin arrived outside Sun Dazhu's medicinal garden. A sweep of his Divine Sense clearly revealed the Restriction on the garden. This Restriction offered no obstruction whatsoever. Wang Lin's Divine Sense looked inside and immediately found Sun Dazhu sitting cross-legged in the courtyard meditating, completely unaware of his Divine Sense.

The Restriction that had once terrified him now seemed riddled with flaws upon inspection. Wang Lin vaguely felt that it shouldn't be difficult if he wanted to break this Restriction.

"Disciple Wang Lin pays respects to Master!" Wang Lin withdrew his Divine Sense and spoke from outside the door.

Sun Dazhu was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to recall that he had seemingly taken a Disciple named Wang Lin four years ago, who had later gone to participate in the centralized training. Today was the day they finished their seclusion, and he wondered if this trash had made any progress at all.

Driven by curiosity, he opened the medicinal garden door and said haughtily, "Come in!"

Wang Lin walked in. Sun Dazhu examined Wang Lin carefully and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually reached the third layer of Qi Condensation?"

Wang Lin nodded and respectfully replied, "Disciple Cultivated diligently in the valley for four years and luckily entered the third layer."

Sun Dazhu's eyes flickered. He gradually recalled why he had taken the other party as a Disciple. He remembered deciding back then to use the Soul Searching Technique on him once he reached the first layer of Qi Condensation. After a slight hesitation now, he abandoned the idea of searching his soul. After all, so many years had passed, and risking a drop in his own cultivation was no longer worth it.

"Fine, since you have reached the third layer of Qi Condensation, you are a true Disciple of Sun Dazhu. I have only accepted one apprentice in my entire life, which is you. Return here to live starting today. In a few days, there will be a major exchange with the Inner Sect Disciples of the Xuandao Sect. You can accompany me then to gain some experience and broaden your horizons. Oh, right, since you are at the third layer of Qi Condensation, have you practiced the Gravity Spell?" Sun Dazhu glanced at Wang Lin and asked.

Wang Lin's expression was normal as he said, "Disciple has practiced the Gravity Spell, but it feels quite awkward."

Sun Dazhu nodded and said, "That is natural. This kind of basic immortal technique, frankly speaking, relies on proficiency. If you practice it more times, it will naturally improve. Back then, I practiced it for almost a year, making me the one who practiced it the longest within the School. Look." As he spoke, he made a single-handed gesture, and a small sword shimmering with seven-colored light appeared out of thin air, radiating a cold glow as it quickly circled the area before gently landing in Sun Dazhu's palm.

"Once the Gravity Spell is practiced proficiently, if you reach the second layer of Qi Condensation, you can practice the Item Manipulation Technique. This Flying Sword is deployed using the Item Manipulation Technique. Of course, to reach that level, you must have cultivation at the fourth layer of Qi Condensation. However, the exchange with the Xuandao Sect is imminent, and we can't let others laugh at us. Your cultivation is low, so the possibility of you participating in the competition is slim, but you cannot disgrace your Master's name. This Flying Sword can also be slightly controlled using the Gravity Spell. I will give you a Token. Take it to the Sword Spirit Pavilion and randomly pick a Flying Sword that looks decent. Wear it then, just to save Face!" After Sun Dazhu finished speaking, he tossed out a Token.

Wang Lin's expression instantly became strange, and he opened his mouth, unsure what to say for a long time.

Seeing Wang Lin's strange expression, Sun Dazhu snorted and said, "Don't think this is a minor matter. Remember to find one that looks very decent, or else you will embarrass your Master, and I will definitely not forgive you when you return. Back then, I did the same thing—wearing a Flying Sword gave your Grandmaster a lot of Face."

Wang Lin gave a wry smile and said, "Disciple will certainly find one that looks impressive enough to fool people, Master, rest assured!"
