Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2799: Chapter 2798: Farewell and Pursuing a Breakthrough!

At that moment, Lin Dong felt an unprecedented sense of openness and relaxation arise within his heart.

This feeling did not come from external comfort but stemmed from a deep awakening within, a profound insight into self-awareness.

Currently, Lin Dong’s mental power had long been trapped at the peak of the thirty-ninth rank, as if caught in endless fog, unable to find the main gate leading to the fortieth rank.

This threshold was not just a limitation of power but also a shackle on the soul, needing mental state elevation to unlock it.

In the past, he always thought that retreating for meditation and absorbing the spirits and souls of others were the only ways to elevate his spiritual power realm, overlooking the infinite wisdom and revelations present in the myriad forms of the mortal world.

Now, actually, during this native wedding, Lin Dong’s mental state quietly changed.

He began to understand that true strength requires not only extraordinary power but also a mind that embraces everything and perceives worldly affairs.

After the wedding ended, Lin Dong felt that his mental power was about to have a breakthrough.

So, he said to War God Hei Long, "Let’s say goodbye to them; my mental power seems to be on the brink of a breakthrough."

"I plan to find a place for a peaceful breakthrough. As for you, please protect me."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of War God Hei Long lit up, and he said:

"War God Lin, your mental power is about to reach what rank?"

"Fortieth rank!" Lin Dong said with a smile.

"What? Mental power at the fortieth rank!" War God Hei Long had only heard of such an existence in legends.

He had never seen such a person in reality.

"Let’s go." Lin Dong didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

He also didn’t remain in the tribe for the breakthrough.

The breakthrough of mental power, with its mental power overflow, might attract attention from nearby powerful figures and demon beasts.

Lin Dong didn’t want his presence to draw other powerful figures and demon beasts to this isolated tribe, affecting their usual peace.

Thus, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long bid farewell to them.

Although the bride and her brother repeatedly tried to persuade Lin Dong and War God Hei Long to stay a few more days.

Lin Dong still gestured and said, "I have something very important to do now."

"Perhaps we’ll come back to see you in a few days."

"Okay. Friends, then we wish you all the best." Although a bit reluctant, hearing that Lin Dong and War God Hei Long would return to see them...

They ultimately chose to respect Lin Dong and War God Hei Long’s opinions.

Before leaving, Lin Dong left them a multitude of things.

Like some herbs that can cure sickness.

Some food seeds and dan medicines beneficial for their bodies like Resuscitating Pill...

These things had always been stored in Lin Dong’s Dragon Ring Space. Lin Dong generously left a lot for them.

Seeing this, everyone was extremely grateful.

"Thank you so much, we also have things to give you."

"This is our divine tree; it greatly benefits our bodies... We’ll give you ten trees." The bride said.

The ’divine tree’ they gifted to Lin Dong was the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree!

This Millennium Encounter Spring Tree was not only the main herb for crafting ’Deadwood Dan’ but also had other effects.

For ordinary people, its leaves are even more effective than ginseng, able to invigorate, cure sickness, and extend longevity.

So they have revered the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree as the ’Divine Tree.’

Lin Dong thanked them, gesturing, "Thank you so much."

He accepted the ten Millennium Encounter Spring Trees without hesitation.

Afterward, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long bid them farewell.

After leaving the tribe, Lin Dong, accompanied by War God Hei Long, chose a cave far from there.

Then, Lin Dong retreated in the cave, striving to break through the bottleneck of his mental power!

As for War God Hei Long, he was protecting him.

In this tranquil night, with his subtle mental state changes, the originally solid-as-a-rock bottleneck of his mental power seemed to be gently nudged by an invisible force, starting to loosen.

It was a subtle and elusive feeling, like the first rays of sunshine in winter piercing through the clouds, lighting up the dormant earth, heralding the beginning of rebirth.

"Turns out, experiencing some worldly affairs indeed has a subtle influence on realm growth."

Lin Dong mused inwardly, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile.

He realized that life itself is the best training ground.

The entanglement of emotions between people, the parting of life and death, the joys and sorrows, all sharpen and baptize the soul, unknowingly elevating one’s mental state.

At the level of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists and beyond the fortieth rank of mental power, one should experience these.

"No wonder many powerful figures enjoy indulging in worldly affairs... Actually, this is also a form of cultivation." Lin Dong muttered.

Realizing this, his gaze became even more determined, and he closed his eyes, fully committing to breaking through the bottleneck of mental power.

Because of attending the wedding, they hadn’t hunted demon beasts the entire day.

Hence, the number of demon beasts for the two remained stagnant.

The outer world’s large screen still updated every participant’s scores in real-time.

Lin Dong’s name, as usual, was prominently displayed up front, but today, his numbers seemed frozen in time, motionless.

This unusual phenomenon quickly drew widespread attention, with people speculating on what this top-ranked presence since the start of the War God Competition might have encountered.

"Why has Lin Dong’s demon beast count remained unmoved? Has he encountered some trouble?" People from various battle zones discussed, a mix of curiosity and worry in their eyes.

"Dear god, could he really have met with misfortune?" Someone asked worriedly, their words revealing a reluctance and regret over this young genius.

"That’s certainly possible, otherwise why has his demon beast count not moved?" Such opinions were not uncommon, and people began associating Lin Dong’s pause with potential danger, spawning various conspiracy theories.

"A monster like him, many powerful forces can’t tolerate him." An elder said solemnly, complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

Indeed, Lin Dong’s rise challenged the status of many veteran strong figures, touching the interests of some hidden forces, making him a target in everyone’s eyes.

"Why do strong figures below Secondary Ancestor first-tier want to participate in this War God Competition? Many aim to kill him." This remark dropped like a stone into the peaceful lake’s surface, causing ripples.

Many people in the various battle zones recognized that this seemingly fair competition was actually full of undercurrents.

"Perhaps, he really was killed."

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Country War Department, Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian stood at the front of the War Machine, gazing at the distant, gradually blurred horizon, brows tightly knit, filled with worries.

As the Heavenly Envoy of Lin Dong’s Dragon Country War Department, a member of the War Department, he well understood Lin Dong’s potential and value, and recognized his significance to Dragon Country and the entire cultivation world.

Lin Dong’s stalled progress in demon beast hunting undoubtedly cast a giant shadow in his heart.

"I hope my concerns are unwarranted." Dugu Tian whispered to himself.

Meanwhile, in the Five Elements Land, Lin Dong’s breakthrough was already at a critical moment.
