Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Is there really no way out of this place?" Ziyu still didn't believe it.

"You can try." Lin Yi picked up a stone and gave it to her, and she threw it in the direction they came from. There was nothing in front of them, but the stone bounced back.

"Why would I?" Everyone was stunned.

"A formation. There's a formation set up here, and it doesn't look like an ordinary formation." Lin Yi said. He'd sensed the formation the moment he'd arrived, but he didn't dare to get angry with Lingshan and the others.

After all, this was the green cloud sect on the North Island. If they fell out with Lin Yi, none of them would be able to leave, and their lives would be in danger. It was better to take things one step at a time.

Ziyu didn't give up. She picked up a rock and tried everywhere, even the cliff and the top. It turned out to be an invisible prison with no blind spots, trapping everyone and not giving them any room to escape.

"Ascending heaven cliff ... Isn't this a F * cking replica of the cliff of reflection ..." Qikun only realized now.

"That Deputy sect leader also said that only those of high status can enter. It turns out that he's such a high status, a Smiling Tiger!" Wu Chengtian smiled bitterly. He thought Chen Dongcheng was a good person, and it was rare for a vice sect leader to lower himself like this. Now that he knew the truth, he started to cry ...

"Then what should we do?" Lingshan and the others all looked at Lin Yi-they were still in the middle of their First World crossing experience, and they didn't think they'd be in danger so soon.

"Cold." Lin Yi smiled nonchalantly.

"Ha?" Everyone was confused-from what they knew of Lin Yi, he wasn't the kind of person who would just swallow his anger. What did he mean by cold?

"Since they want us to stay, we'll stay. No one will disturb us and we can cultivate in peace. We'll just treat it as closed-door cultivation." Lin Yi was surprisingly open about it this time.

"Ugh ..." Everyone was a little unwilling, but since Lin Yi said so, they didn't object.

Lin Yi started to meditate first, and the others also went to their own rooms. No matter where they were, strength was King. They knew that they were too weak, which was why they were in this situation. If they weren't at the peak of the early Foundation Stage, but were golden core stage Masters, would the green cloud sect dare to treat them like this?

He had to become stronger. Only then could he live on with his head held high!

The experience in the trial grounds had already made them deeply aware of this, and now, they were experiencing it even more deeply.

Because of Lin Yi's existence, they had the best training environment in the world, and none of them lacked talent. The only thing they lacked was motivation. Without too much external pressure these years, they were more or less slacking off, but now that they were in the Qingyun school, they were under house arrest. The pressure was overwhelming.

Lin Yi smiled, thinking that it was a blessing in disguise. Everything else aside, the cliff was a good place for practitioning.

Even if the Qi wasn't that dense, it was the environment. The state of one's mind was born from the heart, and the environment would naturally affect one's mental state. Open-minded people rarely encountered bottlenecks, and this invisible influence was even more important than the Qi. Besides, Lin Yi's pills made up for it, so what if there was a little bit of Qi?

Everyone was working hard, and Lin Yi was no exception. He was using the spiritual roots to train his spirit bit by bit. The whole process was extremely painful, but Lin Yi enjoyed it because he knew that after the pain, there would be rewards.

With every fifteen minutes, Lin Yi could feel his spirit getting stronger. This wasn't just a quantitative recovery and accumulation, it was also a qualitative training, especially the latter, which was a pleasant surprise to Lin Yi.

Because of the projection, Lin Yi's entire essence Spirit's strength couldn't be compared to when he was on Tianjie Island. If he was originally 10000% of a xuansheng stage essence spirit, then after the projection's weakening, he was at most 10% of a xuansheng stage essence spirit. Not only was the quantity greatly reduced, but even the quality had dropped to a certain extent.

However, with the help of the spiritual roots, Lin Yi believed that even if he couldn't recover much in terms of quantity, in terms of quality, it wouldn't take long for him to return to the Sky Class Island level, and his spirit would reach the true level of a xuansheng stage.

In fact, he might even be stronger than when he was on Sky Class Island!

Other than training his spirit, Lin Yi's other core training was the soul hooking hand. His experience with the nine infants made him realize that he'd been on the wrong path all this time!

From the moment his essence spirit was projected into the mortal world, the first thing Lin Yi did was to form his essence spirit. Everything he did after that revolved around the essence spirit, constantly raising the level of his essence spirit until he could once again use the killing intent of the five elements and Eight Trigrams, as well as super killer moves like lightning burial. This was Lin Yi's original thought process.

Until he encountered the bottleneck of the foundation establishment, he had been persisting in this line of thought. Later, he hit a wall and was forced to start to explore all kinds of spiritual awareness skills. However, until he faced the nine infants, he did not really realize it.

And now, Lin Yi finally realized that he'd made a huge mistake. He was only a spirit, and the spirit was the foundation. Pursuing the strength of the spirit was completely putting the cart before the horse. Even if he trained until he died, he wouldn't be able to break through that invisible barrier. The only way was to focus on the spirit.

There were two paths to spirit cultivation. One was to increase the level of the spirit, which was what Lin Yi was doing with the spiritual roots. The other was spirit techniques, and the only thing Lin Yi could use in this area was the soul snatching hand.

It wasn't something that could be done overnight-it required a lot of effort, but the hand of soul devouring still had room for improvement with Lin Yi's level of insight and understanding.

Ever since he'd combined it with the nine neonate's engulfing technique, his hand had become a killer move. But Lin Yi knew that it was far from its full power.
