WORLDWIDE SIMULATION ERA

591 Abandoning the Immortal Bone

However, the overflow would increase greatly starting from Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

There were only about a million Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in Holy King City.

After the baptism of the spiritual rain, the number had skyrocketed to approximately three million.

As for Golden Core Realm cultivators, the number had increased from 10 million to nearly 40 million.

The Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, originally at the most basic level, had become even rarer.

“Although the cultivation of the residents in Holy King City’s territory has skyrocketed, they have not undergone formal training.

“The actual combat ability of a veteran warrior is comparable to ten commoners of the same realm.

“It seems I have to train their combat awareness properly.”

Lin Qiye did not let his sudden increase in combat strength get to his head.

He knew how powerful the demons were. Even a top warrior would be at a disadvantage when facing a demon of the same realm, not to mention these civilians, who had never experienced fighting.

“Lonemoon, Chang Shi. In this period, dispatch the fiend soldiers to train the commoners quickly. I will be in seclusion for about ten days. You must make the people aware of the threat of the demons before I come out and train them to be effective in combat.”

With that thought in mind, Lin Qiye immediately called for Lonemoon, who had just broken through not long ago.

“Yes.”

Lonemoon, Chang Shi, and the others all responded respectfully.

After explaining a few more matters regarding the negotiations with the four great empires, Lin Qiye turned around and sealed off the backyard of the City God Temple, entering a deep state of seclusion.

Seeing Lin Qiye’s grim expression, Chang Shi and the others realized that something big might happen shortly.

“Let’s go, Lonemoon. We’re going to be busy from now on.”

After Lin Qiye left, Chang Shi and the others immediately prepared to join the operation.

Only Lonemoon remained where she was, staring at Lin Qiye’s back in a daze.

She only returned to her senses when she heard the shouts of Chang Shi and the others.

“Oh, I’m coming.”

She turned around decisively.

In the end, that person was still getting further away from her.

From the beginning, the two were on different lines. One extended parallel to the other, but the other went up infinitely.

After a brief intersection, they would eventually go further and further away.

Lonemoon no longer asked for anything. She was already satisfied to be able to follow him.

…

In the following period, Lonemoon and the rest mobilized tens of millions of fiend soldiers and split up.

They were scattered across the four great empires to monitor the situation of the defensive formations.

At the same time, they also transported the resources from the four great empires and began to produce low-level awakening potions in bulk.

During this period, the four great empires received their first batch of awakening potions for building their foundations.

On the other hand, all the cities and towns in the Holy King City had fiend soldiers stationed there.

With the help of Lonemoon, Chang Shi, and the rest, the fiend soldiers quickly spread information about the demons to every resident.

The people realized the threat of the demons, and they all waited in formation.

Coupled with Lin Qiye’s orders, the residents were cooperative. They spontaneously and orderly participated in the combat training team.

Ten days passed by in the blink of an eye.

When the seal on the backyard of the City God Temple was lifted again, Black Dragon and Butcher, who were left behind to guard the village, looked towards Lin Qiye’s residence.

The two sensed his aura and quickly went to greet him.

“My Lord, you’ve broken through?”

Black Dragon and Butcher looked at Lin Qiye expectantly when he pushed the door open.

They could feel Lin Qiye’s aura had become more powerful.

Standing in front of them was as if they were facing a mountain.

Lin Qiye stepped out of the door. His face was frighteningly cold. There was no joy in his breakthrough at all.

He didn’t answer their questions but looked at them and asked, “Did anything happen during this period?”

Black Dragon and Butcher were shocked when they sensed Lin Qiye’s anger.

They had never seen Lin Qiye in this state.

In the past, even when he was faced with a huge threat, he was calm. He had never revealed such an attitude.

They didn’t dare to dally and quickly replied, “Milord, everything has been fine. The four great empires have followed your request and listened to our operation arrangements. The citizens of the Holy King City have also spontaneously joined in the combat training.”

“Okay, you can leave now.”

Lin Qiye waved his hand indifferently. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

“Yes.”

Although the Black Dragon duo had their doubts, they didn’t dare to ask any more questions. They left the courtyard respectfully.

After the two left, Lin Qiye clenched his fists in anger.

“Damn it! What was the reason? Why can’t I break through?”

Wan Meng stood behind him nervously, not daring to say a word.

She had promised Lin Qiye she would help him break through to the Earth Immortal Realm with ease.

However, for the past ten days, Lin Qiye’s cultivation had been stuck at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm and had not made any progress.

She nearly suspected his talent was limited, causing him to be stuck at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm and unable to break through.

However, this was just a thought. Back then, the embryonic form of Lin Qiye’s God Realm was already ten thousand miles.

This kind of talent only existed in legends. How could he not even pass the threshold to the Earth Immortal Realm?

“Wan Meng, what’s going on with me?”

Lin Qiye turned to look at Wan Meng. He had already asked this question several times.

Wan Meng didn’t know either, so the answers he got were different every time.

“Perhaps it has something to do with your God Realm. The embryonic form of ten thousand miles only exists in legends. It might be a problem during cultivation.”

Wan Meng investigated all the possible reasons that prevented Lin Qiye from breaking through. The potential influence of the God Realm was her main suspect.

After all, it was something she did not know about.

“God Realm?”

Lin Qiye was stunned.

He frowned as if he had thought of something, but it was unclear.

“No, that’s not right! I can feel the God Realm is in a near-perfect state. It can operate on its own and absorb energy. There’s definitely no problem!”

Lin Qiye used his mental power to inspect his body.

From his God Realm to every inch of his body, even his soul, nothing was left out.

“What is it? What is it?”

Lin Qiye didn’t find any problems with the God Realm, but his body and soul kept feeling as if they were stuck in a fishbone. It was irritatingly uncomfortable.

That uncomfortable feeling was constantly tormenting him, which was also one of the reasons why he could not break through.

“Your body is transformed from the power of faith condensed from the Outer Dao Dharma. It’s pure and can be called a divine body. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any flaws.”

Wan Meng also gave Lin Qiye a thorough physical examination.

However, she did discover something Lin Qiye had not noticed.

“Eh? How could there be another immortal bone in your body?”

Lin Qiye suddenly remembered. There was still a piece of immortal bone in his body he had nurtured in the past.

The immortal bone had accompanied him many times, and it had reached the Immortal Level a long time ago.

When he was fusing with his new body, he didn’t think much about it and directly connected the immortal bone. He didn’t expect it would become an obstacle at the critical moment of a breakthrough.

“Could my inability to break through be related to that immortal bone?” Lin Qiye asked Wan Meng.

“Is that immortal bone your own? If not, then it’s possible!”

Wan Meng nodded with a grave expression.

“What if it wasn’t?”

Lin Qiye stared at Wan Meng, his face as dark as water.

Wan Meng’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes widening.

“Is it really your immortal bone? Your body was transformed from the purest energy, and there are no impurities. Although that immortal bone is decent, it’s still something you’ve cultivated after birth.

“Right now, the two existences are rejecting each other to a certain extent. Your energy could not reconcile, so naturally, you can’t break through!”

“What should I do now?” Lin Qiye asked, frowning.

Wan Meng thought for a moment, her expression turning grave.

“There are only two ways now. One is to give up this immortal bone and remove its effects on your body. The second is to think of a way to fuse the immortal bone with your body completely. However, this method will require too much time and resources.

“Only these two methods can allow you to re-balance the energy in your body and stabilize your breakthrough. Otherwise… You’ll be stuck in your current realm forever, unable to break through!”
