729: The eighth level of True Immortal Realm

"If so many young Disciples all join Tianxin Academy, wouldn't our Lanxian Sect suffer a huge loss?" Yang Lingchen said in a deep voice.

"Of course not. The resource returns provided by Tianxin Academy are extremely generous. Once these young people grow up at Tianxin Academy, if Lanxian Sect faces difficulties in the future, these people will very likely lend a helping hand to Lanxian Sect. After all, everyone originated from Lanxian Sect."

"That makes sense." Yang Lingchen nodded.

What Huang Ruoyu said was actually correct. If one were to compare Tianxin Academy to a university, then Lanxian Sect would be equivalent to high school. If one truly became successful, how many people would forget their alma mater?

Afterward, Yang Lingchen returned to his residence. He was still very drawn to Tianxin Academy; after all, people strive for higher goals, and no one is willing to stand still.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. The exchange and sparring session between Dayang Sword Sect and Lanxian Sect came to an end. In the end, Lanxian Sect won the victories for the Outer Sect Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples, while the Core Disciples lost by a single match.

Dayang Sword Sect had not expected this outcome at all, especially Hong Taimeng, whose face was extremely gloomy. On the day the exchange ended, he led his Disciples and left Lanxian Sect directly.

In the following days, Yang Lingchen kept Cultivating in the haotian jade space.

One day, a cute-looking Female Disciple with a slightly shy expression came to Yang Lingchen's residence.

"Senior Sister, is there anything you need from me?" Yang Lingchen asked politely.

"Junior Brother Lingchen, Wang Xiuyuan from South Heaven Peak has sent you a challenge letter," the Female Disciple said.

"South Heaven Peak, Wang Xiuyuan?" Yang Lingchen looked puzzled, then took the challenge letter and asked, "Senior Sister, what is Wang Xiuyuan's cultivation level?"

Yang Lingchen knew about the grievances between South Heaven Peak and himself, because Li Yaohui and Li Xiaoxiao came from South Heaven Peak.

"Wang Xiuyuan's cultivation level is at the Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm. Junior Brother Lingchen, it is best not to accept his challenge," the Female Disciple said.

"I understand, thank you, Senior Sister." Yang Lingchen cupped his hands in thanks.

Afterward, he entered a state of Cultivation once again. As for Wang Xiuyuan's challenge, he chose to ignore it completely.

There were only two years left until the Tianxin Grand Competition. Within these two years, he had to raise his cultivation level to the Profound Immortal Realm; naturally, he had no extra time to deal with these boring challenges.

South Heaven Peak, Li Tianyang's residence.

"Revered Master, the challenge letter has been delivered. Disciple has been waiting under Jade Maiden Peak for three days, but that brat just won't accept the challenge," Wang Xiuyuan said respectfully.

"No matter. That brat will eventually come out. You keep an eye on him for your Revered Master. As soon as he appears, challenge him directly to his face. I don't believe he can keep his cool forever," Li Tianyang said coldly.

"Yes, Revered Master." Wang Xiuyuan responded respectfully.

Three months passed in a flash.

On this day, Yang Lingchen finally touched the cultivation barrier of the Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm.

He sat cross-legged and continuously activated the Undying Golden Body Art.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was shrouded in a thin layer of golden light, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi flooded into his body at an extremely fast speed.

It had to be said that the Cultivation speed of the Undying Golden Body Art was truly too fast. Once the cultivation level reached this Realm, the Cultivation speed of the Vast Heaven Art no longer had much of an advantage in the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm. If not for the Undying Golden Body Art, it would have taken Yang Lingchen at least ten years to break through from the Seventh Layer of True Immortal Realm to the Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm.

But now, after Cultivating the Undying Golden Body Art, it had only been a short three-plus months before he touched the barrier of the Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm. This showed just how terrifying the Cultivation speed of the Undying Golden Body Art was.

As Yang Lingchen continuously charged toward the Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm, cracks soon appeared in that cultivation barrier.

"Boom... Boom... Boom...!"

"Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm."

After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen suddenly opened his eyes, and a look of confidence shone within them.

Now that the Undying Golden Body Art had reached Minor Achievement, during battle, Yang Lingchen's palms could directly transform into golden palms. At that time, his Combat Power would soar several times over, and even if the opponent used a Sharp Weapon, it would be difficult to injure his pair of golden palms.

If one day he could Cultivate the Undying Golden Body Art to Great Perfection, he would become an undying and indestructible existence; even if he were chopped into millions of pieces, he could instantly recover as if nothing had happened.

Of course, wanting to Cultivate the Undying Golden Body Art to Great Perfection was almost impossible.

Because the Undying Golden Body Art that Yang Lingchen was Cultivating was actually not the complete version. From the introduction of the Undying Golden Body Art, he knew that the version he was Cultivating could only allow him to reach Major Achievement at most; as for the incantations for the Peak and Great Perfection, they had already been lost in the ancient era.

Therefore, if Yang Lingchen wanted to Cultivate the Undying Golden Body Art to Great Perfection, he would have to find the remaining incantations of the Undying Golden Body Art.

After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen began to Cultivate immortal techniques again. Last time he killed Zhang Xinchen, he obtained many good things from the other's storage ring, and naturally, there was no shortage of immortal techniques.

However, most of them were Earth Immortal Realm Martial Skills and immortal techniques, though there were also a small portion of Profound Immortal Realm Martial Skills and immortal techniques.

Time spent in Cultivation always passes very quickly, and soon another two months passed.

During these two months, Yang Lingchen not only raised his cultivation level to the Late Stage of the Eighth Layer of True Immortal Realm, but he also successfully Cultivated several Profound Immortal Realm immortal techniques.

"It's time to go out and get some fresh air."

Yang Lingchen exited the haotian jade space and walked all the way toward the direction of the Treasure Pavilion.

He now had quite a lot of contribution points in his hands, which were of no great use just sitting there, so he planned to go exchange them for some immortal spirit crystals. After all, immortal spirit crystals were the common currency of the Myriad Heavens Immortal Domain; without this stuff, one couldn't even afford to stay at an inn when going out.

Just when Lingchen was about to arrive at the Treasure Pavilion, a cold voice rang out again.

"Stinky brat! You finally appeared."

A youth with a cold expression and sinister eyes blocked Yang Lingchen's path.

"Who are you?" Yang Lingchen said coldly.

"Wang Xiuyuan." The youth looked coldly at Yang Lingchen and said, "Brat, you should have received the challenge letter I sent you, right?"

"I received it." Yang Lingchen chuckled and said, "What about it?"

"Brat, if you're a man, then fight me fairly." Wang Xiuyuan said coldly.

"What is your cultivation level?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm." Wang Xiuyuan said in a deep voice.

"Hahaha...! Fourth Layer of Profound Immortal Realm, challenging me, an Outer Sect Disciple at the True Immortal Realm. I don't know which idiot could teach a Disciple like you." Yang Lingchen sneered and said, "And you have the nerve to talk to me about a fair fight? Do you think this is fair?"

"Too shameless. An Inner Sect Disciple running over to challenge an Outer Sect Disciple and still asking for a fair fight—this is just too shameless."

"Yeah! Truly shameless."

Many of the onlookers began to point and whisper.

"Stinky brat, how dare you insult my Revered Master."

Wang Xiuyuan roared and directly blasted Immortal Essence Power toward Yang Lingchen. The Immortal Essence Power condensed in the Void Realm into a sharp Fist Aura, and the surrounding air seemed as if it were about to be shattered by this Fist Aura.

"Profound Ice Flame!"

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes, and his right hand slashed out instantly. Thick Immortal Essence Power condensed in mid-air into a Profound Ice Flame. This Profound Ice Flame carried a trace of bone-chilling coldness, as if it were about to freeze everything.

This Profound Ice Flame was a Profound Immortal Realm technique, which was exactly what Yang Lingchen had found in Zhang Xinchen's storage ring.

At the moment Wang Xiuyuan's Fist Aura collided with Yang Lingchen's Profound Ice Flame, the surrounding air seemed to freeze. That Fist Aura was instantly encased in ice, and the remaining force of the Profound Ice Flame, like a bolt of lightning, continued to sweep toward Wang Xiuyuan.
