Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2704: Chapter 2703: Heavenly Realm Second Layer

In the deep cave, Lin Dong sat cross-legged, surrounded by the dim glow of candlelight, and the air was filled with a faint herb fragrance.

His breath was long and profound, each inhalation and exhalation seemingly engaging in some mysterious exchange with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

At the moment, he was fully concentrated on breaking through to the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven, with a determination and resolve he had never felt before.

Recalling the illusionary realm journey in the Earth Dragon Palace, Lin Dong’s mental state had grown like never before.

The life-and-death trials in those illusionary realms taught him how to find inner peace amidst turmoil, how to hold onto the seed of hope amid despair.

He remembered clearly that, in the illusionary realm, he had touched upon the opportunity for a breakthrough countless times, but each time he was hindered by the binding of the Dead Soul Curse within him, unable to truly take that step.

However, at the moment, he had completely freed himself from the troubles of the Dead Soul Curse, with the bottleneck shattered, he believed he would definitely achieve a successful breakthrough.

Lin Dong took a deep breath and began to guide the spiritual power within, following an ancient and complex trajectory.

With the flow of spiritual power, his body gradually emitted a faint glow, as if resonating with the heaven and earth essence around him.

He closed his eyes, fully concentrated on feeling the changes of spiritual power within; each surge of spiritual power made him feel an unprecedented strength gathering inside.

As Lin Dong guided it, the Inner Qi within him surged like a roaring river, tumultuous and powerful.

This Inner Qi not only circulated through his meridians but also converged in his Dantian, forming a dazzling ocean of spiritual power.

In this ocean, the Heavenly Soul, Earthly Soul, Human Soul, the three great spirits and souls quietly floated, each emitting a gentle glow while interweaving, jointly guarding the core of Lin Dong’s soul.

The Heavenly Soul represents Lin Dong’s comprehension and perception of the Heavenly Way.

The Earthly Soul symbolizes his profound connection with the earth.

The Human Soul, however, is his inner resilience and perseverance.

Through the joint forces of these three great spirits and souls, Lin Dong’s strength continually amplified, each breakthrough deepening his understanding of the Martial Way.

At the moment, as Lin Dong’s inner spiritual power continuously gathered, he felt the three great spirits and souls within him also begin to change.

The Heavenly Soul became more refined, seemingly able to perceive the mysteries between heaven and earth.

The Earthly Soul made the connection with the earth more intimate, enabling him to feel the earth’s pulse and breath.

As for the Human Soul, it became tougher and more determined, keeping inner peace and commitment regardless of the challenges faced.

Suddenly, Lin Dong felt a powerful burst of spiritual power from his Dantian, this force, like a torrent, rushed through every cell in his body.

He gritted his teeth, his entire body’s muscles tensed, as if engaging in a fierce contest with this power.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a state of chaos, where everything around him became blurred and distant.

As time passed, the fluctuation of Inner Qi in Lin Dong’s body became increasingly intense, and his breath grew more formidable.

He could clearly feel the spiritual power within him growing at an astonishing speed, as if breaking through some form of binding to reach a new realm.

Finally, after a violent surge of spiritual power, Lin Dong felt a power within him, unprecedented, explode - the power of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven!

"Breakthrough!"

He slowly opened his eyes, the glow of excitement and joy flashing within.

He stood up, sensing the massive spiritual power flowing within, and the refinement and strength of the three great spirits and souls, filling his heart with unprecedented confidence and strength.

He knew he had successfully broken through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven, officially stepping into the strength of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven.

After breaking through to the Second Layer Heaven strength, Lin Dong cast the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, instantly moving from within the cave, like teleporting, to the peak of a mountain.

Standing atop the mountain peak, Lin Dong was surrounded by faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, a symbol of his breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven.

His eyes seemed to penetrate layers of clouds, and his perception spread like invisible tendrils, covering an unprecedentedly vast range.

This power gave him a deeper understanding of the surrounding world and allowed him to sharply capture the subtle yet undeniable presences miles away.

"Hmm? This presence..." Lin Dong’s heart stirred, his brows furrowed slightly, and his perception became more focused, as if traversing through a thousand mountains and waters, capturing fragments of those distant voices.

They were conversing; the voices were faint yet clear as if right beside him in his current perception.

"Winged Angel, are you sure Lin Dong will appear in this area?" a woman’s voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

It was Alya, her voice intermixed with a wariness of the unknown.

"Based on the Wind Seal I left on him earlier, his recent activity trajectory indeed points to this side." Winged Angel’s voice was steady and confident, but Lin Dong could capture a barely noticeable tension within.

Evidently, they were not entirely without concern about this journey.

"We cannot be careless, Lin Dong’s strength is not to be underestimated." Pravina’s voice still carried a hint of dread. Last time, they suffered a great loss, so she dared not underestimate Lin Dong again.

"Hmph, no matter how strong he is, can we not handle him with the five of us together?" Thor’s voice carried a sense of disdain. His cultivation method was utterly domineering, filled with confidence in battle, incredibly warlike!

"Thor, don’t be careless. Last time we managed to escape entirely by luck." Winged Angel reminded again.

"You guys have lost your nerve, and that’s not okay. How can Heavenly Realm Martial Artists like you act so timidly?" Thor snorted, looking down on Winged Angel and Pravina somewhat.

The two people, helpless, could only silently refrain from speaking, continuing to seriously search for Lin Dong.

Far away, Lin Dong, having heard their conversation, curled his lips into a cold smile, a glint of cold light flashing across his eyes.

"Winged Angel, Pravina, although you managed to escape last time by luck, didn’t expect you’d forget the lesson so quickly and dare to voluntarily come to me. Since you’re so eager to die, I’ll grant you your wish."

With plans in mind, Lin Dong deliberately did not constrain his presence, intentionally letting it slightly release, like a beacon in the vast night color guiding direction.

He knew his strength, combined with three Heavenly Realm Martial Artists puppets, was enough to handle any unexpected situations, and this time, he plans to set a trap and let these five walk right into it.

Lin Dong’s figure flickered, turning into a streak of light, heading towards a pre-selected hidden location.

There, using the surrounding environment, he arranged mechanisms and formations to prevent them from employing life-saving methods to escape again.

Meanwhile, Winged Angel’s group was following the presence Lin Dong deliberately released, unknowingly stepping into a carefully designed trap.

"I found his presence, move!" Winged Angel said to everyone.

The others, seeing this, became excited.

As for Thor, he licked his lips, showing a greedy look, muttering to himself, "Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, I want it!"
