Back at the wooden building.
...Lin Shen went straight to the training room, summoned his clone, and began to practice array formations.
He had actually considered challenging the upper house disciples that Yang Zhongyi had mentioned.
However, that was only after he advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage.
At this stage, his most important mission was to break through to the Bright Aperture Stage and master the Great Five Elements Sword Formation and the Seven-section Array of Unmoving Mountain.
After that, Lin Shen postponed the cultivation of martial techniques and devoted himself to cultivating the Golden Crow Scripture.
Occasionally, when he was tired from cultivating, he would summon his clones to cultivate array formations.
The greatest difficulty in cultivating such an array formation was actually cooperation.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Lin Shen and his clones at all.
Their greatest advantage was their tacit understanding.
They looked like seven people, but they were actually one person.
When cultivating array formations, he naturally made rapid progress.
During this period, Lin Shen’s cultivation level also steadily increased.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
In the training room, Lin Shen sat cross-legged and didn’t move. He seemed to be asleep.
As time passed, the sound of running water gradually filled the room, mixed with the muffled sound of drums.
If one listened carefully, they would discover that these sounds actually came from Lin Shen’s body.
Lin Shen, who was immersed in cultivation, felt his heart beating like a drum. The surging blood in his body was ringing in his ears like a tide.
Every acupuncture point in his body was throbbing vigorously, as if a hammer was constantly hitting every part of his body. Even his joints and fascia were trembling.
Lin Shen guarded his mind and ignored the noise. He focused on circulating the Golden Crow Scripture.
After circulating his spiritual essence countless times, Lin Shen suddenly felt his surroundings fall silent.
It was a feeling of extreme silence!
It was as if the world hadn’t been created, the Primordial Chaos hadn’t passed, and nothing had been formed!
In a daze, Lin Shen forgot about his own world. His mind and consciousness seemed to be indistinct.
After an unknown period of time, a spark of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
This bit of spiritual light was like a giant axe that split the world openly, instantly making the entire chaotic world clear.
Lin Shen’s consciousness quickly returned. He seemed to hear the sound of swords colliding in his ears as if a rusty lock had fallen to the ground. His entire body suddenly became incomparably light, and he felt like he had been reborn.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Shen opened his eyes. At that moment, a bright light burst out, making the entire training room seem to flash.
There seemed to be lightning in the room!
He had reached the Bright Aperture Stage!
Lin Shen stood up and felt that his entire body was incomparably agile. Every move he made was as if he was riding a cloud. Everything was different as if he had changed into another body.
That was the truth. After advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage, he could no longer be called a “human”. Instead, he was half a step into the ranks of immortal cultivators!
In his ecstasy, Lin Shen couldn’t help but raise his head and roar.
Fortunately, he was in the wooden building and was isolated by the array formation. His voice wouldn’t spread outside. Otherwise, many people would look at him.
After a long while, Lin Shen finally stopped.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly waved his palm to the right. A huge scarlet palm appeared out of thin air and smashed heavily against the wall seven to eight meters away like a meteor!
After a thunderous roar, a huge red palm print appeared on the hard wall. Its surface was as red as a soldering iron, and liquid metal flowed down like molten iron.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shen rejoiced.
After advancing to the Bright Aperture Stage, the power of martial techniques had only increased by one or two levels. However, the consumption of spiritual essence and stamina had decreased by more than half!
This was because of the strengthening of the soul and the awakening of the spirit resonance. Cultivators could use martial techniques in a more subtle and precise way.
To put it simply, he had reached the microscopic stage.
Because of this, the cultivation speed of the Bright Aperture Stage would increase greatly, and the power of the martial techniques they executed would also increase.
Lin Shen put down his hand and took a deep breath to calm the surging emotions in his chest. Then, he summoned the interface.
[Name: Lin Shen]
[Talent: Well-versed]
[Stage: Bright Aperture Level 1,1%]
[Cultivation techniques: Golden Crow Scripture (Perfection), Meltdown (Path 20%), Forbidden Golden Armor (Path 10%), Cloud Dragon Rhythm (Path o%), Nine Divine Sun Sword (Path 0%), Dragon Roar Through the Clouds (Perfection), Essence Sword Finger (Perfection), Mortal Restrain (Perfection)]
[Number of clones: 6 (67%)]
“I’m not at the true Bright Aperture Stage yet. I still have to cultivate spells!”
Lin Shen pondered for a moment.
The power of the Bright Aperture Stage lay in the Path-stage martial techniques and spells.
Although he had mastered four Path-stage martial techniques, he still knew no spells yet.
He had to cultivate a spell technique before he could be considered a true Bright Aperture cultivator.
“I still have to go to the Internal Affairs Department to receive a new Bright Aperture Stage cultivation technique.”
After breaking through to a higher stage, he naturally had to change the Golden Crow Scripture to a new cultivation technique.
Suddenly, Lin Shen thought of something. With a flip of his wrist, something appeared in his palm.
The two-finger-wide jade tube was small and translucent, and its entire body was sparkling.
This jade tube was obtained by Lin Shen after he killed a criminal called Tian Dian.
However, because the jade tube could only be read by cultivators at the Bright Aperture Stage, he had put it aside until now.
Now that he had advanced to the Bright Aperture Stage, and his spirit resonance had awakened, he could read the jade tube.
Without any hesitation, Lin Shen immediately focused his mind and mobilized the faint spiritual light to “touch” the jade tube in his hand..
