Chapter Thirty-Two: Transcending the Mundane, Emptiness

  As for Phantom's departure from Tianfa City tomorrow, Lin Yun didn't feel any surprise at all.

  This time Phantom entered Tianfa City mainly for the sake of Tianfa City's lord, and now that Tianfa City's lord's matter has been resolved, even if Phantom continues to stay it would be pointless.

  Lin Yun handed Miao over to the beautiful teacher for the time being, and then entered the secret room of Qianlai Inn. Looking at the phantom in front of him, he said: "Phantom Lord, are you really leaving tomorrow?"

  "Uh, I've been away from Longteng City for a while now. The headquarters has urged me several times. Now that the matter of punishing the city is settled, I don't plan to stay any longer either. Tomorrow morning, I'll be leaving Tianfa City."

  "I'm really reluctant to part with Lord Phantom, why don't you stay a few more days?"

  "Alright, I know what's on your mind. Once I'm gone for a while, I won't be assigning any more tasks to you. Are you satisfied now?"

  Hehe, a smile, Lin Yun wanted this effect after all. The task given to him by the Dragon Alliance organization had a difficulty coefficient that was too high. As a small innate martial artist, he generally couldn't complete it under normal circumstances. He couldn't risk his life every time to complete the task. What if one day he lost his life? Who would he go to for justice?

  But anyway, since Phantom has already promised not to assign him any tasks for this period of time, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. And during this time, he can spend more time with Mei'er. After all, who can bear such a huge change? What if Mei'er can't bear it and does something stupid?

  "Right, didn't you have something to ask me? Go ahead and ask now."

  "Hmm, Phantom Lord, the fake Heavenly Punishment Castle Master we met earlier seemed to have surpassed the Xiantian Wu Shi realm. So I'd like to ask, is there an even higher realm beyond Xiantian?"

  For this question, Lin Yun really wants to know that since he crossed over, the information he got from his mind only has things about postnatal martial artists and innate martial artists, martial guests, and martial masters. As for the realm that surpasses the innate martial master, it is completely unknown. In this way, he seems to be very passive, so take advantage of this opportunity to ask Phantom about this matter, believing that with Phantom's status and strength, they should know these things.

  "It turns out that's what it is. Anyway, you're also under me, so I might as well tell you. In your understanding, are there only Postnatal Martial Artists and Innate Realm?"

  "That's right."

  "Generally speaking, few people know about the ranking above Innate Realm. After all, in a small place like Tianfa City, the strongest is probably just an Innate Martial Artist. Now, let me tell you about the division of strength, so you have a rough idea, sit down first."

  Nodding, Lin Yun sat across from Phantom, preparing to listen seriously about the division of strength.

  "Martial artists are divided into four major realms, from low to high: postnatal martial practitioners, prenatal martial artists, martial guests, and martial masters. Above the prenatal realm is the Transcendent Realm, which also has three major realms: Martial Kings, Martial Sages, and Martial Emperors. As for Gu Tian, who impersonated the City Lord of Heaven's Punishment City, he was a low-level Martial King."

  The realm of the day after tomorrow, the realm of the day before yesterday, the realm beyond the mundane, three great realms.

  "Master Phantom, you just said that warriors are divided into four major realms. What is the last realm after Post-Heaven, Pre-Heaven and Transcendence?"

  "The Void Realm, it is said that the Void Realm also has three great realms: Martial Ancestor, Martial Emperor, and Martial Saint. However, in our Dragon Ascension Empire, there seems to be no strong Void cultivator appearing."

  Nothingness boundary?

  As for the Phantom's division of martial artists, Lin Yun couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. All along, he had thought that even if there were higher realms beyond the Innate Realm, there wouldn't be too many. But now? There were six major realms above the Innate Realm: Martial King, Martial Reverend, Martial Emperor, Martial Ancestor, Martial Emperor, and Martial Saint. And as for him? He was only just entering the Innate Realm of martial artists, with an extremely far distance from the so-called Transcendent Realm, or even the Void Realm.

  "Lin Yun, every martial artist who reaches the Xiantian Wu Shi stage will receive an attribute foreign body. Generally, each person can only receive one attribute foreign body, but you are different. You are a once-in-a-lifetime genius, and before even reaching the Xiantian Wu Shi stage, you already possess two innate martial techniques, and they are even attribute innate martial techniques. At this speed and with your talent, I believe that sooner or later, you will be able to break through the Xiantian boundary and reach the Transcendent realm."

  Needless to say, Lin Yun was very confident in his own talent. After all, as Huan Ying said, who could possess two different attribute ultimate techniques before reaching the Xiantian Wu Shi realm? Not to mention one in ten thousand, it's unlikely that even one in tens of millions would have this ability.

  At this moment, Lin Yun's heart had an additional goal, which was to let his cultivation break through the Pre-Heavenly Boundary as soon as possible and reach the so-called Transcendent Boundary.

  Gǔ Tián, Tuō Fán Wǔ Wáng, if he wants to avenge his grievances, his cultivation must at least reach the level of Wu Wang.

  "Anything else?"

  "For now, I just asked about the division of martial artists' strength."

  "In that case, you can leave first, I need to rest."

  Grass, again it's "get out" order. The shadow always gives himself the "get out" order. Lin Yun is so depressed that he can't take it anymore. But there's no way around it, who let him be on someone else's turf? One day when he becomes powerful, damn it, he'll come back twice to give them a "get out" order, and leave quickly with his depression.

  Lin Yun was worried about Mei Er and didn't stay outside for long, rushing to the academy at the fastest speed. In Tong Yu's single dormitory, Mei Er, who had been unconscious for a day, finally woke up. However, since waking up, she hadn't spoken a word, no matter how Tong Yu tried to persuade her, there was no effect.

  She let out a faint sigh in her heart. As for what happened at the city lord's mansion, she hadn't expected it either. Even if she wanted to comfort him, she didn't know how to do so.

  "Mai'er, everything has already passed, you should look forward."

  Ye Mei'er didn't say a word, her eyes were empty and staring forward, her face was expressionless. At this time, Lin Yun came in from outside and saw Ye Mei'er's situation, and his heart was also extremely worried.

  She shook her head slightly and then the two of them walked slowly away to the outside. Lin Yun's face was serious as he asked, "Beautiful teacher, how is Mei'er?"

  "It's not good, this time the thing is a huge blow to her, if it continues like this, I'm afraid Mei'er will have an accident."

  "I don't know what to do either, beautiful teacher. Heaven's Punishment City might be in chaos for a while, and I'm worried that Mei'er will get into trouble. So for now, I was thinking of letting her stay with you first. What do you think?"

  "That's no problem, I've already asked for half a month's leave from the university just now, and during this time I'll stay here to accompany her properly. How about you?"

  "I will certainly stay with you too."

  "Alright, let's go in and comfort Mei'er first, hoping she can get through this difficulty," said Tong Yu and Lin Yun as they walked into the room together. However, what they didn't expect was that when they entered the room, there wasn't a single person inside. Mei'er had already gone somewhere unknown.

  "Where's Mei'er?"

  Looking at the empty room, Lin Yun had already guessed that Mei Er would definitely go to find Gu Tian for revenge. As the saying goes, a father's killer is not shared under the same sky, let alone Mei Er who had acknowledged her father's killer as her own father for three whole years. If nothing happened, it would be strange.

  "Beautiful teacher, don't look for her anymore, it seems Mei'er has left."

  "Hurry up and find it."

  "It's no use looking."

  "Why?"

  "Since Mei'er has chosen to leave, I believe she won't let us find her. This time Mei'er received such a huge blow, it's good for her to calm down."

  Tong Yu seemed to want to say something, but the words reached the tip of his tongue and were swallowed back. The news about the Lord's manor in Tian Fa City spread throughout the city in just a short period of time, causing a huge stir among the people of Tian Fa City that their current lord was actually an imposter.

  The City Lord's Mansion was slaughtered, with over 300 people killed, their cold bodies piled up like mountains. The burning then began, lasting for a whole day and night before gradually subsiding. With the position of City Lord vacant, Heaven's Punishment City is currently in an empty period. If not for the two Vice City Lords temporarily taking charge, Heaven's Punishment City might have been finished already.

  The fake city master killed the real city master, and this matter has spread throughout Tianfa City. Nowadays, Tianfa Academy can be said to have all sorts of rumors circulating, with various versions of rumors emerging, such as Ye Mei'er not being the true city master's biological child, and so on.

  Reborn Ye Mei'er walked on the streets of Tianfa City, listening to the constant rumors about the City Lord's Manor, with an indescribable pain in her heart. Her hands were tightly clenched, her fingers digging into her palms as if she was a walking corpse.

  Her father was killed, and for three years she pretended to be her enemy's daughter. This daughter can be considered unfilial. If she cannot successfully avenge her father's death, she will not be at peace for the rest of her life. However, Gu Tian is a super expert who surpasses even the most skilled martial artists. Seeking revenge is by no means easy, and it is precisely because of this that she does not want to implicate Lin Yun, which is why she left the academy alone.

  Furuta.

  A father's death cannot be shared under the same sky, no matter where she goes to the ends of the earth, she must find this person to avenge her father.

  Without any hesitation, Ye Wei'er was ready to leave Tianfa City this time. No matter what the cost, she had to find that person. After re-disguising herself, not a single person in Tianfa City recognized her. It was precisely because of this that Ye Wei'er's departure from Tianfa City could be said to be smooth and unimpeded, without any obstruction whatsoever.

  The lord's manor of Tianfa City encountered an incident, with the true and fake lords of the city, one being killed and the other disappearing. On the third day, a new lord sent by the imperial family of Longteng City arrived at Tianfa City to take up his post, bringing stability to the city which had just shown signs of unrest. As a result, all aspects of Tianfa City resumed normal operation once again.
