Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 503 Breakthrough, Third Realm of the Innate Stage

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in the secret room, his mind focused on his dantian.

The gentle blue flame at his fingertips—the Azure Dawn True Flame—obediently flowed down his meridians.

Unlike the domineering burning of the Golden Crow Blaze, or the treacherous infiltration of the Illusionary Sea Heart Flame, and without the initial impact of the Departing Fire.

Its influx is like a warm current flowing through frozen soil, carrying a gentle and vast vitality, as well as a pure cold power hidden deep beneath the vitality.

As the Azure Flame flowed through his body, Lin Chen could clearly feel as if a warm current was caressing his acupoints, which was extremely comfortable. The innate crystals at his acupoints also became even brighter than before.

The Azure Flame was like a responsible cleaner, gently cleansing all the meridians and acupoints in its body.

Lin Chen could feel that his flesh, bones, meridians, and even every inch of his skin were greedily absorbing the abundant essence of plants and trees contained in the Azure Dawn True Flame.

This cycle repeats itself, and Lin Chen's skin radiates a warm, jade-like glow, exuding a powerful vitality.

One hour, two hours...

Three hours later, the Azure Dawn True Flame finally stopped surging around Lin Chen's body and settled in his dantian.

"This is the time!"

As the Azure Flame landed in his dantian, Lin Chen's Immortal Technique began to operate wildly, and the other three innate flames within his body also surged towards his dantian.

Four innate flames slowly approached the dantian. However, apart from the Qingli True Flame, which pulsed quietly as if it hadn't noticed anything, the other three innate flames showed repulsion.

Rumble!
Whether it was the Li Huo, the Jinwu Yao Yan, or the Huan Hai Xin Yan, they were all resisting at this moment, wanting to leave the dantian and return to their acupoints. However, under the guidance of Lin Chen's Immortal Technique, these three innate flames were still forcibly drawn closer.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Ten breaths later, the four flames finally converged in the dantian. When these four flames came together, they became the Innate Separation Flame, the Golden Crow Radiant Flame, the Illusory Sea Heart Flame, and so on.

At first, they resisted fiercely, and even under the guidance of Lin Chen's Immortal Technique, they still showed signs of falling apart. Just as the three innate flames were about to separate, the quiet Azure Dawn True Flame spread out like a tide at this moment, enveloping the three innate flames within it.

"Now is the time!"

Lin Chen, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them the instant the Azure Flame enveloped the other three innate flames. His Canglan Eyes shot out from between his eyes, and the two dark blue beams of light directly caused ripples in the space.

At that moment, his aura surged dramatically, and a terrifying vitality emanated from the house, causing Yin Yue, who was in the courtyard, to look over immediately.

"This vitality... is even stronger than that of the traitor."

Yin Yue muttered softly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

inside the house.

Lin Chen closed his eyes again, but slowly extended his right hand, where a flame flickered in his palm.

A four-colored flame.

Blue, cyan, gold, purple...

The presence of four colors within the same flame made it appear quite eerie.

Lin Chen flipped his palm, and the flame switched between four colors, each time it changed color, it emitted a different aura.

"receive!"

Lin Chen let out a soft shout, the flames in his palm disappeared, and then he stood up, took a step forward, and his aura increased wildly with this step.

Within its body, the four-colored flames were currently moving around the main acupoints. Wherever they went, the main acupoints that did not have innate crystals quickly condensed innate crystals.

One, two, three...

In an instant, the number of main acupoints possessing innate crystals had exceeded two hundred, and this number was still climbing.

A martial artist at the second level of the Innate Realm needs a massive amount of Innate Power to condense the Innate Crystal.

The innate stone can provide innate power.

Some elixirs can also provide innate power, and so can innate fire.

The reason why no one uses the innate fire to condense innate crystals is because they cannot refine the innate energy contained in the innate fire.

But for Lin Chen, the new innate fire formed by the fusion of the four innate fires was extremely compatible with his body, providing him with a continuous stream of innate energy.

Two hundred, two hundred and ten, two hundred and twenty...

The rate at which the number of innate crystals in Lin Chen's body was increasing would surely astound anyone present at this moment.

Obtaining the first hundred Innate Crystals is one level of difficulty, the next one hundred to two hundred is another, the next two hundred to three hundred is yet another, and beyond three hundred it becomes as difficult as ascending to heaven...

At this moment, every breath Lin Chen takes is equivalent to several months of cultivation for others. In just a hundred breaths, his strength has increased, surpassing the success of others who have cultivated for several years or even more than ten years.

If this scene were to spread, it would likely cause many martial artists at the second level of the Innate Realm to break their defenses.

Both are at the second level of the Innate Realm, yet one person's cultivation progresses as slowly as a snail's crawl, while another's cultivation leaps forward as rapidly as a cunning rabbit's run. The difference is simply worlds apart.

As the innate crystal within his body continued to condense, Lin Chen's Immortal Technique, driven by this new flame, also began to undergo subtle changes. These changes allowed him to easily convert the energy of the innate fire into innate crystals.

Three hundred, three hundred and ten...

Three hundred and fifty...

Three hundred and sixty...

Three hundred and sixty-five!

When all the main acupoints condensed innate crystals, Lin Chen's body rippled, and all the acupoints emitted a dazzling light at this moment. The innate energy started from the main acupoint in his dantian and continuously connected with other acupoints, forming a trajectory.

Snapped!
Lin Chen's acupoints vibrated, and his innate crystal trembled, spinning at a frantic frequency.

At the instant the rotation reaches its limit, all the innate crystals explode simultaneously, and endless innate liquid gushed out, flowing through the acupoints throughout the body, merging with the blood within. The two became one, nourishing the skin, acupoints, and bone marrow...

The liquefaction of the innate crystals occurred without any barrier, as if it were a natural process. However, the liquefaction of the main acupoints did not end there. The innate crystals in the three thousand hidden acupoints also liquefied one by one. If the innate liquid in the main acupoints was a river, then the innate liquid in the hidden acupoints was a stream.

The streams, though small and winding, intertwine with the main flow of the burial site to form a continuous energy cycle.

When the last major acupoint was filled with liquefied innate energy, Lin Chen's body suddenly trembled, and his aura rose like a volcanic eruption. The air in the room instantly distorted, and a powerful vitality mixed with scorching pressure swept out. The plants in the courtyard swayed, and even the light shield of the courtyard array once again showed violent fluctuations.

"At the third level of the Innate Realm!"

Lin Chen murmured softly, and the four-colored flame phantoms in his eyes flashed by, replaced by a deep, serene divine light as vast as the starry sea.

After entering the third realm of the Innate Realm, Lin Chen was able to understand the difference between the third and second realms. Every move he made contained the power of mountains, and a light wave of his sleeve could trigger an explosion of energy.

"He actually broke through to the third level of the Innate Realm so quickly?"

In the corner of the courtyard, Yin Yue looked at Lin Chen in front of her. His aura was as vast as the sea, with a warm vitality hidden in the blazing heat. Even his breathing seemed to have the sound of molten lava flowing. But this was not the strangest thing. The strangest thing was that he had two completely contradictory temperaments.

The rising sun and the changing of the world coexist!
"What level of cultivation technique is this Immortal Technique? Could it be that he really created an extraordinary cultivation technique?"

Yin Yue's eyes held a thoughtful look, while Lin Chen's aura gradually subsided. Once he returned to normal, he looked at Yin Yue and said, "Thank you for the resources you've provided over the years."

Absorbing the Azure Dawn True Flame allowed him to break through to the third realm of the Innate Realm. However, Lin Chen also knew that this was because he had already laid a solid foundation. It was the million Innate Stones and Moonlight Stones given by Yin Yue that had laid the foundation, which enabled him to break through to the third realm of the Innate Realm so smoothly.

"I'm helping you, but it's also for my own sake."

Yin Yue responded calmly, and Lin Chen knew from these words that Yin Yue was finally about to tell him what she needed his help with.

He hadn't said anything before because he hadn't broken through to the third level of the Innate Realm, and in Yin Yue's opinion, his strength was still lacking.

Just as Lin Chen was waiting for Yin Yue to speak again, the array in the courtyard suddenly fluctuated, indicating that someone had come to visit.

"Brother Xiao, are you here to pay your respects?"

Hearing Li Qin's voice coming from outside the courtyard, Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "Miss Li, please wait a moment."

Activating the formation, Li Qin walked in from the courtyard gate. Her beautiful eyes immediately fell on Lin Chen, and she said, "I heard that something happened at the Fire Hidden Tower, and I knew that Brother Xiao was in the Fire Hidden Tower at the time, so I wanted to see if Brother Xiao was affected. I am relieved to see that Brother Xiao is unharmed."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Li."

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude, saying that Li Qin's visit was indeed timely. Was she worried that he might have been injured in the Hidden Fire Tower and unable to represent the Li family in the final competition, or did she have another purpose?
"Brother Xiao, have you made a breakthrough?"

Li Qin placed the gift box on the table and then asked casually.

"By chance, I gained some insights and my strength improved slightly."

The auras of the second and third stages of the Innate Realm are completely different. Even though Lin Chen had concealed his aura, it was still much stronger than before. It was not surprising that Li Qin could sense it.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao."

"Congratulations to Miss Li as well."

Lin Chen smiled slightly. Li Qin was taken aback at first, but then she realized the meaning behind Lin Chen's words.

Lin Chen represents the Li family. The stronger he is, the higher the success rate of alchemy will be, which is indeed a happy event for the Li family.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Qin asked with a smile, "Brother Xiao, is there anything else you need in Hundred Refinements City?"

"nothing."

"If there's nothing else, why don't we head to Thousand Machine City soon? The disappearance of the Azure Dawn True Flame has even alarmed the Thousand Machine Sect. I'm afraid some powerful figures will come to investigate. Heading to Thousand Machine City sooner will prevent any unforeseen complications. What do you think, Brother Xiao?"

"Miss Li has considered everything very carefully, that's fine!"

Seeing that Yin Yue's expression didn't change, Lin Chen knew that going to Hundred Refinement City and Thousand Machine City wouldn't affect what Yin Yue was doing, so he readily agreed.

P.S.: I've entered the third realm of the Innate Realm, please give me a monthly vote!
