High Martial Arts: I Travel Through Heaven and Earth Through Dreams

Chapter 155 Time Flies in the Air, Cultivation Level Soars

Time flies like an arrow, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.

A century is a long life for an ordinary person, and it is the time it takes for twenty presidents to come and go in the United States.

But for a sixth-order powerhouse like Lin Hanzhou, who had already transcended the mundane, it was merely a fleeting moment.

These days, Lin Hanzhou has been in seclusion in the most spiritually rich forbidden area of ​​the Tai Xuan Sect.

During that time, he only left the place once; the rest of the time he was cultivating.

His golden talent, known as "Inevitable Enlightenment," was successfully triggered three times over the course of a century.

If we include the previous one, he has now had a total of four epiphanies.

Two of them were refreshed every fifty years, while the other two were all enlightenments he had by chance, which can be attributed to the power of luck.

The first time was in his thirtieth year of seclusion.

That time, he used the opportunity for enlightenment on that Earth-rank secret technique that specifically simulated and transformed his own aura.

Under the blessing of that profound state of enlightenment, Lin Hanzhou only needed one day to cultivate this secret technique to perfection.

The second time was during his fiftieth year of seclusion, which was also an opportunity for enlightenment given by his refreshed talent.

This time, he will use his chance for enlightenment on the soul-slaying secret technique he relies on most—"Three Thousand Needles"!

This epiphany not only deepened his understanding of this secret technique, but also elevated it to a new level.

This allowed the secret technique to undergo a qualitative transformation in his hands.

Its grade was forcibly deduced from "Middle Earth Grade" to "Upper Earth Grade" by him, and its power was much stronger than before.

The last time was during his hundredth year of seclusion, which was also an opportunity given by his refreshed talent.

This time, he used the opportunity for enlightenment on the mid-grade Earth-rank sword technique, "Thunderfire Sword Art," which he had never had time to cultivate before.

Perhaps it's because he hadn't even mastered this sword technique before, and his foundation was too shallow.

Therefore, the effect of this epiphany was not as earth-shattering as the previous two.

In the end, he only managed to cultivate this supreme sword technique, which was mainly used for killing, to the level of "mastery".

But it's not a big problem; he'll have plenty of opportunities for enlightenment in the future.

With the added advantage of his innate chance of sudden enlightenment, coupled with the power of his luck, he can have sudden enlightenment from time to time.

In addition to his sudden enlightenment about the cultivation technique, Lin Hanzhou's own cultivation level has also advanced by leaps and bounds in the past hundred years, reaching the peak of the sixth-order Divine Palace Realm.

He was only one step away from the legendary seventh-tier Cave Heaven King realm.

But this final step seemed like an insurmountable chasm, blocking his way.

Without the assistance of a supreme treasure of the foundation of the world, it would be almost impossible for him to slowly evolve the divine palace within his body into a complete cave world on his own.

Realizing that he could no longer improve his cultivation, Lin Hanzhou prepared to leave seclusion.

If you think about it, a hundred years have passed, haven't they?

He was silently calculating in his mind.

He remembered that the last time he left the pass was fifty years ago.

At that time, Qingxuan Fairy's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage under his casual guidance, and she was breaking through the bottleneck of the Void Return stage.

Now, fifty years later, with her talent, she should have successfully broken through, right?

With this in mind, Lin Hanzhou transmitted a divine thought to Fairy Qingxuan through the imprint he had planted deep within her soul.

...............

Not long after, a stunningly beautiful figure in flowing white robes appeared outside the secret chamber.

The person who arrived was none other than Fairy Qingxuan.

A century has passed without leaving any trace on her stunningly beautiful face, which is beyond human comprehension.

On the contrary, it made her temperament even more profound and ethereal.

Clearly, she had already successfully broken through to the Void Returning Realm, which countless cultivators dreamed of.

"good."

Lin Hanzhou looked at her terrifyingly powerful cultivation level, which was now vastly different from what it used to be, and nodded in satisfaction.

He guided all three of his Nascent Soul stage subordinates together, and allocated resources to them in the same way.

The fact that the other party was able to stand out under these circumstances clearly shows that they are the most talented among them.

"Qingxuan greets Your Excellency!"

The moment Qingxuan Fairy saw Lin Hanzhou, she immediately bowed respectfully.

She was filled with admiration and awe for it.

Originally, she thought that after successfully breaking through to the same Void Returning Realm as her mysterious master, she would achieve this.

The gap between the two of them will certainly not be as wide as it was before.

But the result was that when she saw Lin Hanzhou again, it was like a drop of water seeing the vast and boundless sea of ​​stars.

The gap between them has not narrowed; in fact, it seems to have widened.

"No need for formalities."

Lin Hanzhou waved his hand dismissively and got straight to the point.

"How's the information I've been collecting about Void Realm experts over the years coming along?"

"Any new discoveries?"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Qingxuan considered it for a moment before tentatively speaking:

"The information you asked me to gather about Void Realm experts is very limited, even with the combined efforts of the entire Tai Xuan Sect and the entire Eastern Region. Please forgive us."

Hearing this, Lin Hanzhou showed no blame, but simply nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

Seeing Lin Hanzhou's attitude, Fairy Qingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm just glad my husband didn't blame me for it.

She then began to speak:

"To my shame, we've only gathered two pieces of intelligence over the years."

"The first message is about why no one in the world can break through to the Void Realm anymore."

"The fundamental reason is that the core item necessary for breaking through to the Void Realm—the Void Seed—has, for some unknown reason, become completely extinct in this era. This divine object, which should have been naturally born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, has been completely extinct."

"It is precisely for this reason that no cultivator in the world has been able to ascend to the legendary Void Realm."

"The second piece of news concerns the reason why those Void Realm experts who existed ten thousand years ago collectively disappeared."

"It is said that ten thousand years ago, an unprecedented battle between Void Realm experts broke out somewhere in the Central Region!"

"It was after that great battle that no other Void Realm expert ever appeared in the world again."

That's all the information in this message.

"However, according to our investigation, this news is highly likely to be true."

"It's not just because this news has spread widely in the Central Region, but also because traces of what appears to be a fierce battle between powerful figures still remain in the Central Region."

…………

After hearing this series of news, Lin Hanzhou fell into deep thought again.

The first piece of news about the extinction of the Void Seed was easy to understand and within his expectations.

After all, no new Void Realm expert has been born for a full ten thousand years, which clearly indicates a lack of the most crucial item.

With so many outstanding talents emerging over the past ten thousand years, it's impossible that not a single one has broken through to the Void Realm.

As for that so-called battle between Void Realm experts...

This doesn't entirely explain why all the Void Realm experts have collectively disappeared.

After all, there's always a winner in a big battle, right?

The winning side certainly wouldn't choose to disappear along with the losers, would they?

If the losers disappear and the winners disappear, then isn't it all for nothing?

Lin Hanzhou knew that there must be some unknown secrets behind that so-called great battle.

Unfortunately, there is still too little information available.

He was also unable to deduce any further useful information from it.
