462: Section 462

"However, your Master is quite curious. When you descended the mountain, you had only just reached a 6-Star Martial Artist level. In just these past half a month, you have actually reached 7-Star Perfection!"

"Could it be that after descending the mountain, you encountered some Opportunity?"

The Old Celestial Master said with a light chuckle.

Opportunity? Lin Chuan recalled all the things that had happened over the past half a month.

If one were to really speak of how he could reach 7-Star so quickly and even achieve Perfection.

That would be when, within the Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique, that Daoist suddenly appeared before him.

And imparted the Dao to Lin Yi face-to-face.

This caused his Qi and blood to greatly increase, and it was all converted into Source Qi.

Furthermore, it opened many acupoints in succession to accommodate this Source Qi.

This allowed his Realm to charge directly from 6-Star to 7-Star.

Although it was only one Realm.

However, for other martial artists, it would likely take years, decades, or even a lifetime.

To complete such a leap.

Yet, Lin Chuan had reached 7-Star Perfection in just a few days.

Rather than calling it Lin Chuan's innate talent, it would be better to call it a stroke of Opportunity.

Lin Chuan nodded: "Yes, I did indeed obtain an Opportunity!"

"Hmm..."

The Old Celestial Master nodded with a smile, but he did not continue to press for details.

"It is a joyous thing that you could have such an Opportunity!"

"However, wanting to break through the shackles and enter the Star Quenching Realm is by no means an overnight task!"

"While Opportunity is important, talent is the root!"

"Your Master has already prepared the Star Quenching Room for you. You will stay there for these next few days and charge at your shackles!"

"However, to break through the shackles, it can take as short as a few months or as long as several years!"

"You must be mentally prepared..."

When Lin Yi heard that it would actually take such a long time.

He furrowed his brows deeply and nodded: "Yes, Master, I am prepared!"

"Hmm, that is good. However, your Master must also tell you!"

"Even at 7-Star Perfection, it does not mean you can definitely break through the shackles!"

"Since the rise of the Martial Dao and the era of universal martial arts, how many people have been stuck at the 7-Star Realm, unable to advance even an inch? And how many have long reached 7-Star Perfection, yet cannot step into the Star Quenching Realm?"

"It is not the case that once you reach this Realm, you can just naturally break through!"

"It is possible that 7-Star Realm Perfection will accompany you for your entire life; you must be prepared for this outcome!"

The Old Celestial Master first told Lin Yi the worst-case scenario.

So that if it truly happens, Lin Yi would not feel devastated by the result.

Lin Yi hurriedly nodded: "Yes, Revered Master, this Disciple will keep it in mind!"

The Old Celestial Master looked at him deeply.

There were still some words he wanted to say, but the words reached his lips.

And he still did not say them.

With Lin Yi's talent and Comprehension Ability, he was far better than all of his other Disciples, including Senior Brother Zhong Yan.

Perhaps even without being told, Lin Yi would be able to realize it himself.

Following this, the Old Celestial Master called Senior Brother Zhong Yan over.

"Greetings, Master!"

The moment Senior Brother Zhong Yan saw Lin Yi, his expression changed slightly.

After giving him a look, he hurriedly bowed and performed a salute.

"Take Little Yi to the Star Quenching Room!"

"Yes!"

Senior Brother Zhong Yan bowed and saluted again, then took Lin Yi and left the small courtyard.

After they walked out of there, Lin Yi asked somewhat curiously: "Senior Brother, what kind of place is this Star Quenching Room?"

"Once you get there, you will understand. It cannot be explained clearly in just a few words!" Senior Brother Zhong Yan shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi did not continue to ask.

Senior Brother Zhong Yan walked along while looking Lin Yi up and down a few times.

"Junior Brother, could it be that you are a monster born for Cultivation?"

"Ah? What is it?"

Lin Yi looked at Senior Brother Zhong Yan with some confusion.

Senior Brother Zhong Yan furrowed his brows deeply and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said: "Think about your Senior Brother here. I am thirty-eight years old this year, and being able to Cultivate to the 7-Star Realm is already a sign of innate talent!"

"Let me tell you, I grew up on Longhu Mountain since I was small!"

"I am not afraid of you laughing at me, but when my parents gave birth to me, they abandoned me at the foot of the mountain!"

"If it weren't for Master accidentally finding me, I fear I would have already perished in the jaws of a Yao Beast!"

"Since then, Master and my Senior Brothers took turns taking care of me!"

"I heard from my Senior Brothers that I gained enlightenment at the age of three, entered the Dao sect at five, began practicing the Martial Dao at seven, and reached the 1st Rank Realm at eight!"

"When I reached twelve, I had cultivated to the 4th Rank, and at that time, many people said I was a Martial Dao Genius!"

"By the time I was sixteen, I had already reached the 2-Star Realm!"

"I broke through to 4-Star at twenty, broke through to 5-Star at twenty-five, and was already a 6-Star Martial Artist at thirty!"

"With this pace of Cultivation, on the entire Longhu Mountain, apart from Master, no one was faster than me. Reaching 6-Star at thirty is something that 'innate talent' is not enough to describe!"

"How many people at thirty are still only at the 3-Star or 4-Star Realm? Those who can Breakthrough to 5-Star are very few and far between!"

"Later, I used six years to charge to 7-Star again!"

"That is my current Realm... But after reaching 7-Star, it is difficult to advance even an inch!"

"Now two years have passed, and I have only barely reached the level of 7-Star 1st Rank!"

"Actually, before I met you, I felt that my talent was already quite good!"

"In the eyes of others, that is the existence of a favored child of heaven, a Prodigy of the Martial Dao!"

"Who Cultivates faster than me? Who has higher Comprehension Ability than me?"

"Until I met you..."

Senior Brother Zhong Yan looked back at Lin Yi.

In the depths of his eyes, one could see expressions of jealousy and envy.

"You are not even twenty years old, yet you have already reached the 7-Star Realm!"

"And you are at Great Perfection! Tell me, isn't that infuriating? You have taken eighteen fewer years of detours than I have!"

"No, I am not yet at Perfection; I don't even have the qualifications to charge at the Star Quenching Realm..."

When Senior Brother Zhong Yan said this.

He deliberately made an expression of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled and said to him: "Senior Brother, this is not something to compare!"

"Cultivation is purely a matter of Opportunity and fate!"

"Just like what Revered Master said to me earlier, I have good luck and the blessing of destiny, which is why I obtained this Opportunity, allowing me in just half a month!"

"To be able to charge my Realm to 7-Star Great Perfection!"

"Of course, such luck and destiny are not something everyone has..."

"By the way, Senior Brother, does Longhu City not have any Yao Beast invasions?"

"Recently, there have been news reports of Yao Beast invasions in cities across all provinces and cities in the New District!"

"How come after I arrived in Longhu City, I found that there is absolutely no sense of oppression regarding this here?"

Lin Yi thought of the taxi driver who was soliciting customers at the train station.

He couldn't help but ask with a smile.

As soon as his words fell, Senior Brother Zhong Yan looked at him and said: "Who told you there weren't?"

"That very day, we dispatched students from the university to go out in teams and hunt those Yao Beasts!"

"It is just that our actions were fast enough that we did not let those Yao Beasts have time to harm the common people!"

"Therefore, no news leaked out!"

After Senior Brother Zhong Yan finished speaking, a look of pride hung on his face.

However, this kind of thing could indeed make him proud.

Nowadays, in other provinces and cities in the New District, incidents of Yao Beasts causing trouble are constant.

Especially like Lishui City, where they had just returned from.

The Yao Beasts there were even more exaggerated; they were all 5-Star and 6-Star.

If these were to mix into other cities, I fear that even the local Monster Hunting Bureau would be unable to eradicate them.

Longhu City was able to clear out the Yao Beasts and did not let the people of Longhu City suffer any harm.
