Chapter 549: Successful Breakthrough
Time passed, minute by minute.
Lin Fan was unaware that while he was having his epiphany, two protectors in black had also appeared around the cave.
"The guy must be in the cave having an epiphany!" said the thinner of the two in black.
The fatter one nodded, "Exactly, he must be having an epiphany. Let's hide in the dark and protect him. If anyone comes here to cause trouble, we'll resolve it for him."
Then, the two of them hid in the shadows to protect Lin Fan.
With the protection of these two, Lin Fan's cultivation and enlightenment were much safer, without fear of being disturbed.
Not long after, a group of more than a dozen people with menacing aura killed their way to the vicinity of the cave.
They were from the Liu Family.
After receiving notification from the Hu Family, the Liu Family laid in ambush waiting for Lin Fan to pass by so they could kill him in one fell swoop.
However, after a long ambush without seeing Lin Fan, they learned through inquiries that Lin Fan was inside this cave.
They knew very well that Lin Fan must be in a hurry to enter this cave for some kind of enlightenment regarding the Martial Path, and it would be much easier to kill Lin Fan under these circumstances. So, they hurriedly rushed over with the intention of killing Lin Fan while he was in the midst of enlightenment.
They had already seen the cave.
They believed that once they charged into the cave, they could completely kill Lin Fan in a matter of minutes.
However...
Just as they charged towards the cave, not far away, they sensed a very dangerous aura locking onto them.
"Not good!"
Shock rose in their hearts, a bad premonition took hold, as if the grim reaper had already shrouded them.
The next moment, the two protectors in black who had been hiding emerged.
As soon as these two in black appeared, they launched an attack on the group without a word.
"Ah... Ah..."
Scream after scream emitted from the group.
Under the onslaught of the two in black, they had no chance to counterattack or escape and were killed within minutes.
Eventually, they all died in despair.
Soon, the ground was littered with bodies, sprawled in various positions. Although dead, their faces bore expressions of horror and unwillingness.
They had come to kill Lin Fan, feeling quite certain that unless something unexpected occurred, it would be a sure thing.
However...
What they could never have anticipated was that, unexpectedly, two experts would appear from the shadows?
And that these two experts would ruthlessly slaughter them?
...
Lin Fan, of course, knew nothing of what had happened outside; at this time, he was still in the midst of enlightenment of his Heart Realm.
As he continued his enlightenment, Lin Fan found that his Heart Realm had reached the very edge of a breakthrough. However, strangely enough, he just couldn't break through as if some special energy was blocking him.
"How strange indeed!"
Lin Fan thought to himself, "I should be able to make a breakthrough; why can't I actually do it?"
Lin Fan felt extremely frustrated.
The next moment, a spark of enlightenment flashed through Lin Fan's mind, and a smile appeared on his face as he murmured to himself, "I see, the reason I couldn't make a breakthrough is that I cared too much. Perhaps, I should relax and let everything enter the Emptiness State!"
Then, Lin Fan quickly relaxed and entered the Emptiness State with ease.
For others, entering the Emptiness State would be incredibly difficult, but for Lin Fan, it was nothing noteworthy, considering that his Will Realm was not low.
Lin Fan quietly maintained his position within the Emptiness State.
He thought of nothing and did nothing.
Now, Lin Fan adhered to the philosophy of letting nature take its course!
Lin Fan sat there in silence.
If anyone had been there, they would have seen him sometimes laughing, sometimes distressed, sometimes lost in thought. Of course, all of these were Lin Fan's most natural expressions, not deliberately put on by him. Even Lin Fan himself was unaware of these expressions because, at that moment, he was in the Emptiness State where everything to him was empty.
It was hard to tell how much time had passed!
Lin Fan's Heart Realm suddenly made a breakthrough.
He finally reached the Perfect Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm.
At that moment, Lin Fan also opened his eyes.
"Hehe!"
A faint smile appeared on Lin Fan's face as he said to himself, "Have I finally reached the Perfect Wheel Vein Realm? Next, I shall break through!"
Heart thrilled to have reached the Wheel Vein Realm, Lin Fan was extremely happy.
Then, Lin Fan began his cultivation, eager to make the breakthrough.
With the breakthrough of Lin Fan's Heart Realm to the Wheel Vein Realm, the breakthrough in his Cultivation naturally followed. Using the Sky-reaching Tender Bud, Lin Fan quickly absorbed the Power of Starry Sky, which then transformed into his Cultivation.
Pop...
At a certain moment, a light sound echoed from within Lin Fan's body.
In that instant, Lin Fan's Cultivation successfully broke through, reaching the Perfect Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm.
After checking his Cultivation, Lin Fan found that with the attainment of the Perfect Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm, his foundation had also reached perfection, meaning there were no issues of instability.
Next, as long as Lin Fan's Heart Realm reached the Supreme Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm, he would be able to quickly achieve it.
Of course, Lin Fan was well aware that cultivating the Heart Realm to the Supreme Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm was extremely difficult, as it required a perfect balance. Only with the right balance could he elevate his Heart Realm to the Supreme Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm. A slight deviation would mean failing to reach that Realm, while an excess would result in skipping directly to the Elemental Mansion Realm. Thus, finding that balance was incredibly challenging.
However, Lin Fan had already decided in his heart that no matter how difficult that balance was to grasp, he would master it.
No matter what, Lin Fan intended to challenge the Supreme Realm of the Wheel Vein Realm.
It was because Lin Fan pushed for the Supreme Realm at every level that his combat prowess and talent had become tremendously formidable. In the upcoming cultivation, no matter the difficulty, Lin Fan would challenge the Supreme Realm.
"Next, it's time to move forward!"
Lin Fan then stood up and walked out of the cave.
"Huh?"
As soon as Lin Fan stepped out of the cave, he immediately noticed bodies scattered all over the ground.
"What's going on here?" Lin Fan couldn't help being taken aback the moment he saw the situation.
