Chapter 658: Chapter 330 Cultivation in the Perilous Azure Mist Zone
 

After ceasing his contemplation, Lin Yi emerged from his cultivation cave mansion and into the courtyard outside. According to his current breakthrough progress, he estimated that with at most another year and a half of contemplation, he would be able to break through to the Refining Void Realm.

The Capability of the tenth level of Divinity Transformation required his active initiation, and it was likely the same for the Refining Void Realm. However, he felt it was too risky to break through within the Dao Palace due to the uncertainties involved.

Lin Yi recalled the map of the Human Clan of the Spirit Profound Realm in his mind and chose a treacherous place with complex terrain to prevent others from tracking him.

As he left the cave mansion, he once again raised his cultivation level by one realm, and now, his outwardly displayed realm had reached the sixth level of Huashen.

He then controlled his sword to the Transmission Peak. All Dao Palace disciples, if going out for a considerable length of time, had to report their departure, but as an Ascender, he only needed to report to the Ascension Hall.

Flying over the Hall of Preaching, he landed in front of the doors of the Ascension Hall and walked in at a measured pace. Two Nascent Soul Disciples of the Ascension Hall saw his arrival, and quickly saluted with a fist and bow, “Greetings to Elder Dong Fang.”

Lin Yi nodded slightly and stated his purpose, “I plan to travel for a while and have come to report to the Ascension Hall.”

He wasn’t sure if, after his Creation Clone separated from his main body, he would still be able to use his title.

If he couldn’t use it, then this identity of Invincible East, with its real cultivation level, likely couldn’t be concealed. Perhaps he would have to seclude himself in the outside world for hundreds of years, until the time was reasonable for a cultivator to normally reach the Refining Void Realm, before he could return to the Dao Palace.

Therefore, naturally, he had to find a reason for traveling without a certain return time.

“All right, I’ll record it for you, Elder. Where do you plan to travel to and for how long?” one of the Nascent Soul Disciples assented quickly, taking out the Tai Xuan Mirror and inquiring.

“I’m not certain where I will go or how long I will need. Since ascending to the Spirit Profound Realm, I have never traveled around the territories of the Human race. I’ll just wander around,” Lin Yi shook his head and replied.

Just then, the voice of Xu Zhiyuan sounded from inside the hall, “Eastern Daoist Friend, congratulations on breaking through another level, to the sixth level of Divinity Transformation. You’re approaching the later stages. Are you preparing to travel outside?”

Lin Yi lightly clasped his fists together, “Greetings to Lord Xu. Since arriving in the Spirit Profound Realm, I’ve been studying and cultivating within the Dao Palace and have never traveled outside. It’s a good time to do so before entering the later stages.”

Xu Zhiyuan nodded with a smile, “Traveling is indeed beneficial for your cultivation. However, Daoist Friend, make sure not to venture beyond the Human race territory, as it can be dangerous.”

“If you encounter danger within the Human race territory, break your Identity Jade, and it will unleash the force of a single strike at the Body Fusion Realm level. In addition, all Dao Palace disciples within thousands of miles who hold an Identity Jade will receive the distress signal.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Lord Xu,” Lin Yi thanked with a fist, knowing that just a year and a half more of seclusion was needed to break through to the Refining Void Realm; by then, he would possess the damage capability of the Body Fusion Realm.

If used with his title, which raises his outward realm to Fusion and then enters a Berserk State, he could ignore any restriction effects from Great Tribulation Experts.

Of course, ignoring restriction effects didn’t mean he could escape; in the hands of a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, even if he reached the Refining Void Realm, he would still be easily defeated.

Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand dismissively, “No need for formalities, I wish Daoist Friend a smooth journey.”

He then instructed the two disciples, “Just record that Eastern Daoist Friend’s travel destination and duration are undetermined.”

Lin Yi thanked them once again and then left the Ascension Hall. After returning to his own cave mansion and making some light preparations, he left the Dao Palace and headed to the Transmission Hall.

The Tiger Demon Spirit Token that Elder Peng had bestowed to him was returned to one of Elder Peng’s subordinates in the first hundred years after he entered the Dao Palace, without extension of use time despite passing the third level test of the Tai Xuan Tower.

Even though he lost the privilege of free teleportation, Dao Palace disciples still enjoyed discounted teleportation rates—a substantial benefit at seventy percent off.

The Transmission Hall of Tai Xuan Divine City couldn’t directly teleport him to the Border Spirit City; he had to transfer through several cities.

However, it’s said that within the Dao Palace itself, there is a super Teleportation Array directly connecting all major Border Spirit Cities. But it consumes a tremendous amount of energy, so it’s rarely used.

Lin Yi presented his Identity Jade and spent over three hundred thousand Lower-grade Spirit Stones to acquire teleportation rights. His first stop was the city closest to the Divine City of Tai Xuan, followed by two more teleportations to arrive at a place called Green Mist City.

Green Mist City was a city located near the Demon Clan region. One more teleportation would take him to the realm of the Spirit City of Demon Purging, namely Moon Frost Spirit City.

The name Green Mist City originated from a perilous location within its borders known as the Green Mist Area, filled with green toxic miasma year-round, which could significantly harm the Primordial Spirits of those in the Cultivation World.

Even cultivators at the Refining Void Realm who stayed too long in this area would gradually succumb to the toxicity of the miasma.

Moreover, the terrain inside was incredibly complex, resembling a giant maze. A simple misstep could result in becoming lost forever, trapped within, with one’s sanity slowly corroded by the toxin of the miasma.

However, within this poisonous gas, there were also some precious Spirit Grasses, and in the deepest part, there were even Spirit Fruits that could greatly enhance one’s Primordial Spirit.
