After comprehending the laws of power and mastering the second move of "The Scorching Sun Saber's" Broken Flow, Lin Cheng's combat strength increased by a great deal. Even his cultivation realm had increased by a large amount.

This kind of advancement was not about raising one's level, but rather, it was about improving one's train of thought, one's vision, and more importantly, one's control over the laws of strength.

It could be said that this was a type of ascension in his cultivation base!

For Forest City, this was more important than leveling up.

This was because before this, Lin City's cultivation experience was pitifully little. In his previous life, he had never had the slightest bit of cultivation base until his death, and in this life, he had only started from the mere level of the Zhizun realm.

Without the guidance of an expert master teacher, as well as with no experience to draw on, he was mostly lost in his cultivation. In fact, it could even be said that he was ignorant!

This point could be seen from the cultivation technique that Zhu Ziquan had taught him.

But now it was different.

Lin City, who had come into contact with the laws of power, had experienced a drastic increase in both vision and cultivation. Even though he had only grasped a tiny bit of the laws of strength, Lin City could still feel the rise in his cultivation.

He believed that if he were to fight against Di Changqing's three men of the Arterial Circulation Realm, he would be able to kill them easily.

More importantly, after this experience, Lin City discovered that his perception had also improved by leaps and bounds.

He could clearly sense all the movements of the wind and the flowing leaves within a radius of tens of meters. He was intoxicated by this wonderful feeling.

The following journey also verified how much of a benefit the increase in perception brought.

The venomous snakes and bugs that were originally a threat to the Lin City had now become completely harmless. Even if Lin City was in a deep slumber, once any venomous snakes and ferocious beasts approached him, he would be able to sense them.

He even realized that the venomous snakes and fierce beasts didn't dare to approach him anymore, let alone treat him as their prey.

Lin City realized that this was the power of Force. Poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts were born in this world, and could drink in the open air. Their perception of danger was much sharper than humans, and they could naturally feel the threat Lin City posed to them.

With this, Lin City's speed greatly increased.

With the increase in his perception, not only did Lin City become more sensitive to danger, the efficiency of his herb gathering had also greatly increased.

Because he had to rush to the depths of Boundless Forest to search for the Azure Fire, Forest City did not have much time to collect the herbs. Other than those he met on the way, he would not have time to explore any further places.

After his perception had improved, he would be able to detect any medicinal herbs within a radius of dozens of meters and pluck them.

Thus, before long, Lin City's storage pouch was filled with medicinal materials.

He had even gathered all of the medicinal materials needed to concoct the Congealed Rotation Pill.

However, Lin Cheng was not in a hurry to refine the Revolving Pill because to him, it was extremely important. This was a pill that he needed to condense his chakram.

However, he didn't have any jade bottles on him. Once he refined the Revolving Pill, if he didn't place it in the jade bottle, the medicinal properties of the jade bottle would slowly fade away.

Of course, if Lin Cheng was willing, he could condense his chakra anytime he wanted. However, the cultivation technique that Zhu Ziyang mentioned, the technique to suppress one's cultivation, allowed him to experience it for himself.

Even though he had already opened 30 meridians, there were only the last 6 left. All the main meridians in his body could be opened, so he thought to condense the chakras after opening the remaining 6 meridians.

At that time, it would be hard to imagine just how astonishing his explosive potential would be!

Therefore, Lin Cheng decided to wait until he was on the verge of breaking through before concocting the Congealing Pill. As for now, he would try his best to suppress his cultivation level to the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm as much as possible.

Of course, this could not drag on for too long as the Yuan Li within his body was nourishing his body. When his body and meridians reached a certain degree of strength, a qualitative change would occur and he would have to break through.

If Lin Cheng forcibly suppressed his Qi Condensation Wheel, at that time, the raging surge of Yuan Power in his body would burst his meridians, turning him into a cripple in an instant.

Therefore, after the gathering of the medicinal ingredients, Lin City would spend the rest of the time other than rushing on their journey, in order to crazily train and open up the remaining meridians.

Sometimes, Lin City would feel regretful. It was all because of his lack of experience in cultivation and his limited horizons, which resulted in such an awkward situation.

If he had met Zhu Zifu earlier, he would have learned about the cultivation technique to suppress one's cultivation.

In that case, he would not be so anxious to raise his level as soon as possible. If he had been able to use the method of suppressing his cultivation level earlier on, then perhaps all thirty-six of his main meridians would have already been opened.

However, after thinking about it, Lin City felt relieved. If he had left Dongluo City earlier, he might not have been able to find Zhu Zifu.

If that was the case, he wouldn't even have touched the technique of suppressing his cultivation level, much less obtained a storage bag from Chu Kuangwei, much less used spirit stones to cultivate.

"One drink, one peck, everything will be decided by the heavens."

"Greed is a taboo on the road of cultivation!"

Lin Cheng silently warned himself in his heart. Even if he was unable to open up a single meridian, he was still much stronger than many of his peers. With 30 meridians open, he would have quite the potential.

Thinking of this, the regret in Lin Cheng's heart faded. He quickly adjusted his mood and continued on his journey.

After a dozen more days, Lin City had already passed through the outer perimeter of the Boundless Forest, truly entering into the forest.

Only after a full month did the Lin City barely manage to pass through the outer perimeter of the Boundless Forest. From this, it could be seen how vast the Boundless Forest was.

"No wonder there's a legend. Boundless Forest is the boundary between the Eastern Region and the vast Eastern Sea Region. It is also a part of the Regional Plane. Judging from this, perhaps the legend is true!" Lin Cheng couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

In the continent of the Nine Provinces, other than the several big unfathomable seas, there were a total of nine big provinces that were suitable for humans to live in. The provinces were separated by the borders of the provinces.

The state border was the boundary between two states. Some states were like a long river, some states were like an endless and majestic mountain range, while some states were like an endless and boundless desert …

Legend has it that every state has its own mysterious power.

For example, Lin City had once heard that Boundless Forest was a part of the State Realm. Strictly speaking, it was just a remote region of the State Realm.

It was said that the Boundless Forest alone was boundless, stretching for thousands of miles. And this was just the border region of the continent?

Not only that, it was said that on the other side of the Boundless Forest, on the border of the vast ocean, there was a natural chasm that ordinary people could not pass through. There was also a mysterious power within that chasm that ordinary people could not step into.

The East Continent and the sea were not even connected by the weather and Essence. It was as if they were two different worlds.

According to legends, during the ancient era, the alien demons invaded and wreaked havoc on the continent. Their lives were burned to ashes, and that was the darkest period in human history.

Afterwards, Emperor Yu appeared out of nowhere, collected the gold of the world, forged nine cauldrons, and suppressed the evil spirits of the foreign lands. He established the world and divided the Divine Lands into nine prefectures with unparalleled divine might.

This land was where Emperor Yu and other supreme elders and immortals fought the alien evil. It was also where the ancient battlefield was where the alien evil and the humans died.

And those that had the qualifications to participate in this battle were all outstanding geniuses. The evil monsters of the foreign lands were even more frightening. One could imagine just how terrifying these burial grounds were!

Therefore, the state was not a place that ordinary people could step into. It was said that even if one was a cultivator, if one was not strong enough, they could only die if they entered the state, let alone ordinary warriors!

However, as time went by, it was said that the killing intent in the ancient battlefield gradually faded. Occasionally, a normal cultivator would be able to find a relatively safer route and cross the borders of the other prefectures.

At that time, when Lin Cheng heard this, he had only treated it as a miracle. After all, he did not have any cultivation base back then, not to mention crossing the continent, even if he had to spend his entire life, he would not have been able to travel through the entire Eastern Region.

Now that he was in Boundless Forest again, Lin City couldn't help but to think of those legends. Thinking about how Emperor Yu of ancient times used to be a powerful family, fighting with all his might to expel those alien demons, Lin City couldn't help but feel excited and fascinated.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Cheng could not help but yearn for that cultivation world even more. He even had an unrealistic idea in his mind.

One day, would he also become that kind of outstanding person with a prestige that could shake the world?

At night.

Lin Cheng sat cross-legged on the trunk of a large tree. As he directed the elemental energy to circulate within his body, his body suddenly jolted.

Boom!

There seemed to be a loud noise coming from within his body, and his body suddenly emitted intense elemental energy waves which did not disappear even after a long time.

Finally, after an hour had passed, Lin City slowly opened his eyes. A faint smile could be seen on his face, as a brilliant light flickered in his eyes.

After entering Boundless Forest for almost two months, Lin City finally opened up another meridian.

At this point, he had already opened 31 main meridians, and only the last 5 were left.

If the bamboo stick were here, it would definitely call this little thief a freak of power!

As for Lin Cheng, he did not know how fast his cultivation progress was in the Eastern Region. However, he could clearly sense that his strength had increased tremendously once again.

Because he had adopted the cultivation method of suppressing his cultivation level, the Yuan Li in Lin Cheng's body had become extremely dense, to an astonishing degree. Every time he opened up a meridian, his strength would greatly increase.

However, Lin Cheng now knew that he could no longer open his meridians. This was because he could faintly feel that the Yuan Power in his body was getting thicker, almost reaching the limit that his body could handle.

He had to condense his chakra!
