Chapter Thirty-Six: Right and Wrong

  Thinking of this, he took out the mysterious pearl and began his first closed-door cultivation.

  Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye. During these two years, Wang Lin spent his days practicing breathing exercises and studying gravitational forces, and he didn't feel lonely at all.

  It's been two years, but if you count the Dreamspace, he has actually been in seclusion for nearly thirteen years.

  The density of spiritual energy in this place, he has a deep understanding, although it's still not comparable to the Spiritual Spring Water, but every time he breathes in reality, the density of spiritual energy is several times higher than the outside world.

  The Qi Condensation stage started from the second layer, and his cultivation progress became slower. Six years before the time in the dream, he reached the limit and felt that his spiritual energy was no longer increasing. After trying to break through several times, he successfully entered the third layer.

  However, what troubled and puzzled him was that seven years after the dream time, even though he had reached the peak of the third layer, no matter how hard he tried to open the fourth layer's mantra, he always failed. It wasn't that his spiritual energy wasn't enough, but rather there was a mysterious power in the depths that always blocked him from entering the fourth layer at critical moments.

  Moreover, the third layer of the Condensation Period is also quite strange. Unlike the first two layers, where if one doesn't enter the next layer after reaching the limit, their spiritual energy won't continue to condense.

  This third layer, as if there was no limit, even though Wang Lin felt that he had reached the peak, with each breath, his spiritual energy continued to increase, and his body was constantly being transformed by the spiritual energy. If not for the fact that his body still felt like it was in the Condensing Energy Third Layer, Wang Lin knew deep down that he had already broken through, reaching the Fourth Layer or higher.

  This made Wang Lin extremely astonished and puzzled, unable to think of a solution.

  On this day, the spiritual energy and snow water were all used up, leaving only one gourd in the storage bag. This gourd had been buried for a very long time, it was one of the three gourds he buried when he first came to the mountain. At that time, in order to make the mysterious bead appear on the tenth cloud, he had used two of them, and later because he drank a mouthful and almost died, so he was deeply afraid of the dew in the gourd, and put it deep into the storage bag without touching it again.

  Hesitating for a moment, Wang Lin did not take out the gourd. According to his analysis, the spiritual energy inside the gourd had already reached a terrifying level. Having learned from past experiences, he thought it was better to be cautious and wait until he reached a higher level in the Condensation Period before using it again.

  He stood up, stretched his body, pulled the handle on the wall, and suddenly a rumbling sound started. The stone wall slowly rose, revealing the entrance. Sunlight poured in through the entrance, and Wang Lin felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes, but after a while, he recovered normally and walked out, taking a deep breath.

  Looking down, there are quite a few people sitting and chatting in the valley, obviously they have been closed for a long time and can't stand the dullness, so they come out to relax.

  After a brief moment of contemplation, he hid his cultivation at the first layer of the Condensing Qi stage. With a flick of his sleeve, a burst of force rose from under his feet, lifting his body lightly into the air, and slowly descending downwards.

  In the thirteen years of dream time, his Gravity Technique had already reached a state of perfection, and he no longer needed any incantations; almost as soon as he thought about it, the Gravity Technique would naturally appear.

  For example, if he is now floating in the air, it means that he is using gravity control to manipulate his body. Although it can be done as long as the gravity control reaches a certain level, the speed is extremely slow. Once accelerated, things will inevitably get out of control.

  And now Wang Lin was confident that even if he flew at high speed, he wouldn't lose control. This was something that couldn't be achieved without practicing the Gravity Technique for over a decade.

  Who would have the leisure to practice this basic immortal skill for over a decade? Cultivators are all racing against time, and basically no one is willing to waste it. With this amount of time, they might as well cultivate some advanced immortal techniques.

  To avoid drawing attention, Wang Lin slowly descended into the valley. As soon as he landed, he heard a piercing mocking voice: "The sun really does rise in the west! The useless Wang Lin has actually managed to reach the first layer of the Qi Condensation stage. This time, he can finally climb down from the cliff by himself without needing anyone's help."

  Wang Lin turned his head and glanced at Wang Zhuo, who had a look of disdain on his face. Beside Wang Zhuo sat several others, all of whom were inner sect disciples.

  One of the young men in white, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, sneered and said: "Wang Lin, actually you shouldn't have come here. It would be better to stay in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department with those named disciples, at least you can feel superior. But now, you are the worst among us."

  Wang Lin's divine sense swept across, and Wang Zhuo had also reached the third layer of the Qi Condensation stage. The white-clothed youth had already reached the peak of the fourth layer and could break through at any time. He was quite puzzled in his heart, secretly wondering why he, who was only at the third layer of Qi Condensation, could easily see through cultivators stronger than himself.

  Moreover, looking at the white-clothed youth, the spiritual power within him seemed to be slightly weaker than his own. Wang Lin fell silent for a moment and still didn't ask the question he had in mind, thinking that this matter was quite suspicious.

  "Wang Lin, two years ago in the big comparison, you kid were quite clever, knowing you weren't my match and giving up voluntarily. But let me tell you, trash will always be trash, you can never compare to me Wang Zhuo this lifetime! I was the newcomer king two years ago, what about you?" Wang Zhuo said disdainfully.

  The white-clothed youth beside him also sneered, "Little brother, go and get me some water from the river! Eldest Brother's mood has improved, maybe he'll take a liking to you!" As he spoke, he tossed out a bottle which landed at Wang Lin's feet.

  Wang Lin did not say a word and silently looked at his opponent.

  "What do you mean? Want to fight? Let me tell you, Second Master said that inner disciples in the back mountain can fight each other. If you don't know your place, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson." The young man in white clothes looked at him with disdain.

  "That's enough, all of you shut up!" A cold shout came from the cliff wall, followed by a black shadow shooting out like lightning. After landing, Zhang Shixiong's figure appeared, his brow furrowed as he swept his gaze over the crowd and shouted: "Wang Zhuo, Sun Hao, instead of cultivating, you two are bullying a fellow disciple who has just reached the first layer of Qi Condensation. Is that amusing to you?"

  The two men's faces changed slightly, and they glared at Wang Lin with malice before humming softly and falling silent, clearly intimidated by this Zhang Shixiong.

  Zhang Shixiong's gaze shifted, falling on Wang Lin, and he said sternly, "Wang Lin, you shouldn't have come here, but since you're already here, focus on your cultivation. In the Cultivation Realm, strength can decide everything."

  Wang Lin nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Zhang Shixiong, I have a question to ask. After reaching the peak of the first layer of Qi Condensation, no matter how hard I try to break through, why can't I succeed?"

  Wang Zhuo snorted and said: "With your innate talent, don't even think about reaching the second level in this lifetime!"
