Lin Yi’s eyes widened in sheer surprise and delight.

Lin Yi’s cultivation had already reached the peak of the Early Golden Core Stage, just a step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage!

If he could break through, his cultivation would advance to the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage!

Though the difference between the Early Foundation Establishment Stage and Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage seemed like half a step, it was actually ten or a hundredfold!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm were considered supreme experts!

And cultivators at the peak of the Early Golden Core Stage were top-notch experts who could contend with those in the later stages of the Golden Core!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, the divide between the Golden Core Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage was known as an insurmountable gap, a chasm no Golden Core cultivator dared to cross.

But now, Lin Yi felt that he was just a step away from reaching the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage!

Lin Yi knew that as long as he could increase his strength slightly, he would be able to assault the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage!

In the Intermediate Foundation Establishment Stage, he could use the True Essence of the Five Elements, making his attacks overwhelmingly powerful and unmatched within his realm!

Moreover, Lin Yi’s Five Elements Attribute had all reached the level of the Fire of the Five Elements!

For Lin Yi, this was an inversion of the natural order, capable of boosting his combat power by dozens, even hundreds of times—a truly terrifying move.

“Boom!”

Lin Yi, feeling the surge of spiritual energy within him, was filled with excitement.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi continued to run his cultivation frenetically, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, causing every inch of his skin to emit a dazzling light, filled with an endless sense of power!

A day went by, and Lin Yi had completely drained all the spiritual energy from his body.

Lin Yi felt his physical body become incredibly tough and immensely strong, and his constitution also became more formidable!

Lin Yi knew that, from now on, his body would fear no sword or attack!

“With such a powerful body, if I were to encounter a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, I could effortlessly slay them. Such an invincible body is truly unmatched; no one can harm me!” Lin Yi thought to himself.

“I shall cultivate in this cave for some time!”

Thinking thus, Lin Yi decided to go into seclusion in this cave for a while.

Lin Yi sat crossed-legged within the cave, beginning to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The space inside the cave was vast, spanning two thousand square zhang. Although Lin Yi sitting crossed-legged made it seem somewhat cramped, this was nothing to him since he had a Storage Bag that could hold an entire mountain range—an absolutely wonderful asset for Lin Yi!

“Buzz!”

Lin Yi’s body trembled as he opened his Storage Bag and then, he absorbed all the spiritual energy within the entire cave into the Storage Bag!

After absorbing the spiritual energy of an entire cave, Lin Yi’s body grew even more formidable, and the layer of light on his skin shone even brighter.

Only then did Lin Yi realize that this layer of light was not only a protective shield but could also absorb all the energy between heaven and earth, and the speed at which it absorbed this energy had become incredibly fast!

“With this going on, my strength will definitely increase substantially!” Lin Yi was overjoyed.

“Boom!”

Lin Yi threw a punch, impacting the layer of light outside the cave, immediately causing the layer of light to tremble violently and send out ripples of waves!

Lin Yi felt as if his fist had struck an impenetrable wall of copper and iron; he could not breach the layer of light. Even his arm was numbed by the immense rebounding force of the light, causing it to tingle painfully.

Lin Yi stumbled back several steps, his face etched with astonishment.

This shield was incredibly sturdy!

Shock wracked Lin Yi’s heart.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, adjusted the spiritual energy within his body to the optimal state, and then suddenly stepped forward, unleashing a punch.

“Boom!”

A muffled sound reverberated as a powerful force transmitted from Lin Yi’s fist, creating a wave of energy that swept away in all directions, destroying all of the nearby trees!

The might of Lin Yi’s punch was terrifying; with one blow, he caused the surrounding mountains to crack, and a huge fissure extended from the ground, cleaving the valley in two.

“Haha! I’ve finally reached the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage!” Lin Yi was overwhelmed with excitement.

That punch was the power only someone at the Third Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage could unleash, and Lin Yi had achieved this level!

Lin Yi’s fist had become harder, and his strength had increased!

Feeling this overbearing strength, Lin Yi was incredibly refreshed; he felt that his physical body had grown stronger and his flesh had become harder.

At this moment, Lin Yi charged out of his cave dwelling once again.

Lin Yi wanted to find a place rich in spiritual energy to cultivate the True Essence of the Five Elements and increase his strength!

In these mountains, Lin Yi didn’t encounter many Demon Beasts, so there wasn’t much danger.

Soon, Lin Yi arrived at a region abundant in spiritual energy, where the spiritual energy was incredibly dense.

There, a lake lay, its waters so blue and crystal clear you could see to the bottom, resembling a clear turquoise pond; above the lake floated white stones emanating a faint glow, mist rising from them, making one feel refreshed and extremely comfortable!

Lin Yi stood by the lake, quietly observing it, basking in the dense spiritual energy, and felt a profound sense of satisfaction; he could tell this was a precious site for Immortal Cultivation.

“The spiritual energy here is dozens of times stronger than that in my cave dwelling,” Lin Yi felt deeply moved, “If I cultivate here, reaching the Seventh Layer of Qi cultivation wouldn’t take long, and I’ll be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage!”

“Hmm? What’s this?”

Just then, Lin Yi suddenly sensed something was off.

Lin Yi noticed that the once calm lake began to ripple, followed by waves starting to churn, and the mud at the bottom of the lake began to roll upwards.

Underneath the surface of the lake, a terrifying suction force appeared, trying to pull Lin Yi into the depths!

“What’s going on?” Lin Yi frowned slightly.

With a slight sway of his body, Lin Yi escaped the suction force and landed somewhere else.

“Swish, swash…”

The sound of moving water rose, and from within the lake, a colossal creature emerged in front of Lin Yi.

“What is that thing?”

Seeing this, Lin Yi’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

There, a gigantic serpent appeared, its skin lustrously dark, more than a meter long, its body covered with scales, and measuring about three meters in girth. Its head resembled that of a crocodile.

“Is this a Flood Dragon?” Lin Yi marveled inwardly.

“Hiss…”

As Lin Yi stood in awe of the colossal creature, its body suddenly leaped at him.

The huge serpent’s forked tongue flicked out, dispersing a nauseating stench.

“Not good!” Lin Yi quickly moved to dodge, avoiding the attack of the venom.

However, Lin Yi had overlooked something; with only the strength of the Second Layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, he couldn’t possibly evade the Flood Dragon’s assault.
