He had no idea how much ti had passed. When Lin Dong opened his eyes again, an even brighter light flickered within them.
He stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, and the corners of his Mouth couldn’t help but curve into a satisfied Smile.
"At last, I’ve made a breakthrough to the Peak of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven!" Lin Dong muttered under his breath, his voice filled with joy and delight.
He knew full well that this breakthrough not only ant a Power Enhancent in his strength, but also that he was able to go further, drawing even closer to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.
At the sa ti, it also gave him a bit more confidence for the Next part of his journey.
"The Law of Heaven and Earth... I really am sowhat looking forward to it. I wonder how strong my Law of Heaven and Earth will be..." When Lin Dong thought about how, after advancing to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, he would possess his own Law of Heaven and Earth, he Couldn’t help but grow expectant.
"But before that, I still need to hurry up and find the Origin Power."
"After all, from the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Peak to breaking through to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, this Origin Power is absolutely crucial."
"With it, a breakthrough might be calculated in days, or even in hours."
"But without it, then it would have to be calculated in Years at the very least!"
Lin Dong knew his ti was extrely tight. There were still far too many things he had to do; he needed to raise his strength as quickly as possible.
And in Lin Dong’s world, every single breakthrough in Realm ant a deeper layer of understanding and control over the Heaven and Earth Laws.
At the mont, he was standing right at the Threshold of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Peak, the Inner Qi within his body roaring like a great river, his montum vast and boundless.
The step from Late Stage to Peak had caused his Inner Qi to surge by a great margin.
Now, the imnsity of Inner Qi in the center of his Dantian was already comparable to that of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists at the Fourth Heaven.
Even without Deadwood Dan, if he were to mutually wear down against a Heavenly Realm Fourth Layer Heaven Martial artist, he might not necessarily lose.
"Still, I need to break through to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven as soon as possible."
"Once I find that Origin Power, I’ll be able to succeed in a single stroke..."
Thinking this, Lin Dong hurriedly threw himself into the process of searching for the Origin Power.
This District, though it looked small, hid within it countless unknowns and miracles.
Lin Dong had already searched this land several tis over; every step he took was filled with hope, yet every search ended in disappointnt.
His gaze was as sharp as a Hawk’s, piercing through every leaf and every grain of dust, trying to seize that faint trace of breath that might belong to the Origin Power.
Yet the Origin Power was like the craftiest prey under the Sky, completely hiding itself without a trace, leaving Lin Dong to return empty-handed.
"Origin Power, just where are you?" Lin Dong pondered in the Dark, a faint, almost imperceptible confusion appearing between his brows.
He was keenly aware that for a Martial artist, the Origin Power was the key to raising one’s Realm and comprehending the Law.
This temptation was enough to drive any Martial artist Crazy.
Lin Dong was no exception.
Unwilling to give up, Lin Dong decided to employ his extrely Precious treasure—the Five Elents Origin Heart.
This treasure, which contained the distilled essence of the Five Elents Laws, had been bestowed by the Five Elents Stele and was also the key for him to Break the Forbidden Array here.
He suspected that this Five Elents Origin Heart might be connected in so way to the Origin Power here.
It might even be possible to find the Origin Power of this place through the Five Elents Origin Heart.
At the mont, Lin Dong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, sinking his mind completely into the Heart of Origin of the Five Elents, attempting to borrow its power to peer into the true location of the Origin Power.
Under Lin Dong’s control, the Five Elents Origin Heart slowly released a gentle Light. Wherever the Light reached, all things seed to be endowed with Life, lightly swaying, as if they were recounting so ancient and mysterious story.
However, even under such power, the Origin Power still remained as elusive as a rabbit with three burrows, impossible to grasp.
Lin Dong’s mind road along with the flow of the Light, yet he was still unable to lock onto that wisp of mysterious power.
"What secret is this Origin Power hiding? What Form does it actually take? How can I possibly find it?" Lin Dong’s heart was filled with doubt and puzzlent.
He recalled the various descriptions Tian Sha had once spoken to him about the Origin Power: it could be an inconspicuous weed, a completely ordinary Stone hidden among a pile of rubble, or even a Demon Beast that appeared utterly mundane...
The Form of the Origin Power changed in a thousand ways, leaving no trail to follow. To find it here was no different from looking for a needle in the sea.
In fact, Lin Dong could sense that the Origin was right within this District, yet he just couldn’t find it.
This made him feel utterly tornted.
Lin Dong fell into deep thought. He began to try a shift in perspective, imagining himself as a strand of Origin Power: what thod of hiding would he choose, and what Form would he take to bewilder those who sought him?
In this process, he seed to brush up against so subtle pattern, a kind of existence that transcended matter and Form, the most fundantal power between Sky and ground.
"Could it have taken on the illusion of a blade of grass, hiding in the jungle?" Lin Dong thought to himself.
After that, he used his ntal Power to investigate each blade of the weeds one by one.
Yet after searching for a long ti, he still found nothing.
"Could it have taken on the illusion of a Stone?"
Lin Dong began searching again.
But he still failed to find any special Stone.
Gazing at this secret realm shrouded in ancient aura, Lin Dong’s eyes were as sharp as a Hawk’s, sweeping over every inch of land around him.
In his heart he was secretly pondering: "Where exactly are you? Origin Power, just which corner of this secret realm have you hidden yourself in?"
Just as he fell into contemplation, and was almost having his patience worn away by this endless search, a familiar voice, tinged with a hint of Surprise, broke the silence around him.
"Brother Lin!" The voice carried both Surprise and warmth.
Lin Dong snapped his head around, only to see Tian Sha striding toward him from not far away, his Face wearing that signature Smile. Within that Smile there was the joy of reunion, yet it also seed to conceal so indescribable depth.
Lin Dong’s heart stirred as he asked, "You also made it out of that chaotic space? That really was not easy."
Upon hearing this, Tian Sha’s Smile grew even wider. He nodded and said, "Yes, but compared to Brother Lin, I’m still a bit lacking. I imagine Brother Lin must have escaped long before I did, right? Truly admirable, admirable!"
"You know, that chaotic space was a strange Domain constructed from the ’Water Origin’ power of the Origin Power. It was filled with ever-shifting Space Traps. With every step you took, you’d just keep being trapped inside. Unless you made no mistakes whatsoever with each step, there was no way out."
"Yet Brother Lin actually managed it. It’s simply unbelievable!"
His tone carried a note of flattery, but there was also a subtle undercurrent of probing within it.
Lin Dong let out a light chuckle and waved his hand, saying, "Not at all, not at all. I only just ca out shortly myself, it was nothing but luck."
His words were touched with humility, but in his eyes there flickered a trace of hard-to-detect wariness.
Tian Sha’s gaze suddenly grew deep. With a Smile that was not quite a Smile, he continued,
"Oh? Is that so? But I can’t help feeling that Brother Lin ca out far earlier than I did, and moreover... that you’ve reaped quite a harvest in this secret realm. After all, in a place like this, Heavenly and Earthly treasures should be innurable, yet along my whole way here, I didn’t so much as encounter a single Heavenly Material or earthly treasures above Five hundred years old. I suppose Brother Lin must have beaten to them, right?"
Tian Sha’s words carried a hint of Joke, but Lin Dong keenly sensed the edge hidden within them.
He frowned slightly, his gaze traveling up and down over the Tian Sha before him, as a naless feeling welled up in his heart.
The Tian Sha before his eyes was still wearing that sa Smile, yet behind that Smile there seed to lurk so unknown secret, or so indescribable change.
Lin Dong silently raised his guard, but nothing showed on his Face. He rely replied blandly,
"Brother Tian, you’re making a Joke. This secret realm is far larger than we can imagine; perhaps those Heavenly and Earthly treasures are still waiting sowhere for us to discover them. As for Myself, I’ve rely been lucky enough not to encounter any dangers—there’s really nothing I can call a harvest."
However, in his heart Lin Dong was already secretly on high alert. He kept feeling that the Tian Sha before him was sowhat different from before, but for the mont he couldn’t quite put his finger on what exactly was wrong.
This sudden doubt, like a dark cloud, quietly settled over his heart, making him even more cautious about what was to co.
