Lin Fan absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, little by little.
Unbeknownst to him, the Supreme Bone on his chest emitted a faint glow from its mysterious runes.
At the same time, the Supreme Bone released a strange energy that spiraled around his body, forming a red ring that enveloped him completely!
Lin Fan's Supreme Bone was covered by his clothes, so Yun San beside him didn't see the Supreme Bone on his chest.
Seeing this scene, Yun San looked puzzled, but he didn't interrupt Lin Fan.
Soon after, that strange energy entered Lin Fan's body through every pore.
He could feel that energy coursing through his body, bringing him immense comfort!
The energy first entered from his hands, then his head, chest, back, abdomen, waist, thighs, calves, soles of his feet, and toes—spreading through every inch of his meridians.
That energy dispersed and roamed freely throughout his body, finally gathering in his dantian, where it was absorbed. Then came an explosive burst, scattering into thousands of threads that penetrated every inch of his skin, every meridian, before once again converging at the dantian.
This constituted a single cycle of circulation.
He felt as if his dantian was filled with power. If his dantian was once a small lake, it now resembled a vast, majestic ocean!
"So this is the effect of the Supreme Bone?" Lin Fan's heart surged with excitement.
Previously, he only had a conceptual understanding of the system's so-called hundredfold cultivation speed.
But now, he could genuinely feel just how terrifying it was!
With every completed cycle, he could clearly feel his cultivation improving—tangibly and substantially!
At this speed, Lin Fan was certain that within three days, he could break through his current bottleneck and become a Dou Zhe!
One must know, he had only just reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi cultivation!
To think he could ascend to Dou Zhe in just three days—if other disciples found out, they'd be infuriated!
Some of them took a whole year just to break through from the ninth stage of Dou Qi to Dou Zhe, and some even longer!
Even Nalan Yanran took nearly half a year to make that breakthrough back then.
Moreover, he felt that this energy was incredibly intense—each cycle brought a burning sensation.
Were it not for the changes in his physique brought by the Supreme Bone, he wouldn't have been able to endure this energy at all!
If an ordinary person tried to absorb this energy, they would probably die on the spot.
That alone showed how powerful the Supreme Bone truly was!
Lin Fan didn't dwell on it; he simply wanted to seize every moment to cultivate. He didn't want to waste a single second!
"This boy's cultivation speed is truly astonishing!" Yun San, sensing Lin Fan's rising aura from the side, looked deeply shocked.
"Such speed in cultivation—this is truly unheard of!"
Several hours later, the sun had set, and a vast full moon hung in the sky.
But Lin Fan had no intention of stopping—he wanted to continue.
He now felt that he was on the verge of stepping into the Dou Zhe realm.
This was the critical moment—how could he stop now?
"Just a bit more, just a little more!" Lin Fan furrowed his brows tightly, his face contorted with strain.
He was about to make the breakthrough to Dou Zhe—he was just a sliver away.
"Keep going, it's not enough! Just a bit more!" Beads of sweat covered Lin Fan's forehead.
"It's time—break through!" Lin Fan let out a low shout!
Yet when he finally touched upon the threshold of Dou Zhe, it wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
It was as if there had been no obstacle at all—he just passed through it directly.
He had thought it would take effort, but instead, it happened effortlessly, like water flowing into place.
"Hm? He already broke through to Dou Zhe?" Yun San was once again stunned. Just moments ago, he had sensed that Lin Fan had only just reached the ninth stage of Dou Qi.
"Truly, I wasn't mistaken about this boy! At this rate of cultivation, within ten years, he could reach my level!" Yun San thought to himself.
He looked at Lin Fan as if he were a priceless treasure!
If this boy could be properly nurtured, given time, he might even break through to the legendary realms of Dou Zun or Dou Sheng!
Perhaps even… become a Dou Di…
At that thought, even Yun San couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
If Lin Fan could truly become a Dou Di one day—or even just reach Dou Zun or Dou Sheng—
Then he would undoubtedly be able to restore the Yunlan Sect to its former peak!
One must remember, the Yunlan Sect's founding ancestor, Yun Potian, was once a top-tier Dou Zun expert!
And it was solely because of Yun Potian that the Yunlan Sect rose to become one of the most elite forces on the continent!
However—
After Yun Potian's death, the Yunlan Sect declined rapidly. Now, it could only rule over a small Jia Ma Empire…
At that thought, Yun San made up his mind!
If that's the case, then even if he had to exhaust all of Yunlan Sect's resources, he must raise Lin Fan properly!!!
....
....
What Yun San was thinking—Lin Fan naturally had no idea.
At this moment, Lin Fan was still in shock over his breakthrough.
"I broke through this easily?"
"Didn't they say becoming a Dou Zhe was incredibly difficult?"
"I didn't even exert myself… and I'm already a Dou Zhe? There wasn't even a bottleneck?"
Lin Fan murmured to himself:
"Could it be… that this Supreme Bone removed all my cultivation bottlenecks?"
After a round of contemplation and thinking back to the strange effects of the Supreme Bone earlier, this was the only conclusion Lin Fan could arrive at.
Having broken through to Dou Zhe, Lin Fan still didn't intend to stop. He wanted to keep cultivating. The energy he had been holding in just now had gone to waste—
He didn't even get to use it!
The atmosphere had built up so well… only for him to break through in an instant.
Now, he was full of power and not at all sleepy. In fact, he felt more energetic than ever!
After another round of cultivation, Lin Fan began to feel his body heating up severely. If he kept going, it might be dangerous.
He could feel his body reaching its limit—it could no longer handle this power.
Lin Fan was already fully satisfied. Originally, he thought it would take three days to break through, but it only took one night.
"Looks like I can't rush things. I need to take things step by step. You have to eat one bite at a time; stuff too much in your mouth and you can't chew it."
"Time to stabilize my cultivation!"
A sliver of dawn light appeared on the horizon, and the first ray of sunlight shone directly onto Lin Fan's face.
Feeling the warmth of the sun, Lin Fan's face twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Without realizing it… it's already the second day!"
"Time to sign in!"
System!
