This martial saint is too cautious.

One day later.

Lin Yan discovered another Thunder-Transforming Pool.

A Thunder-Transforming Pool, measuring four zhang square!

This time, there was no one else in the Thunder Transformation Pool.

"It's a good thing that we don't have to snatch it from others anymore."

Seeing that no one was at the Thunder Transformation Pool, Lin Yan smiled.

There is no other reason.

He has a kind heart!

If you can avoid grabbing, then try not to.

After these few days of exploring the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, Lin Yan has gained some understanding of the changes within it.

The original Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, the second level, has more and larger Thunder Pools as you go deeper.

However, after the changes in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, the location where the Thunder Pool spawns is different now.

The Thunder Transformation Pools didn't refresh at the same time. It's highly likely that a certain area didn't have a Thunder Transformation Pool before, but it appeared later.

This change in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm is a good thing for low-level Void Realm martial artists. They no longer need to venture deep inside and compete with those at the fourth or even fifth level of the Void Realm. They can just try their luck in the first half of the second level.

Of course, no matter how the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm changes, it still follows the rule that the deeper you go, the greater the possibility of the Thunder Pool appearing.

The chance of encountering a Thunder Pool is much higher in the depths of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm than before. Those confident in their own strength will still venture into the depths of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm.

Lin Yan calculated that he was currently in the middle section.

The reason he hasn't yet ventured into the depths of the second level of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm is that he plans to refine his Dharma Aspect power to the third level in this middle section.

After reaching the third rank, one manifests a Dharma body, increasing their strength. Only then, upon reaching the depths of the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, will one have the ability to contend with those at the fourth or even fifth rank of Dharma bodies.

"A four-zhang-long Thunder Transformation Pool is enough for me to reach the third rank."

Without hesitation, Lin Yan flashed and landed directly in the Thunder Transformation Pool, where he sat cross-legged amidst the lightning liquid.

Having learned from his previous experience refining lightning liquid, Lin Yan immediately activated the Taiyi Divine Technique and began absorbing the lightning liquid.

Time passes little by little.

The power of the Dharma form within Lin Yan's divine palace began to solidify as it churned and overlapped.

The characteristic of the third stage of the Dharma Form is that the originally vaporized Dharma Form power begins to gradually transform into liquefaction.

:

80%, 90%...

The tempering of the Dharma power is about to be completed.

The next moment, Lin Yan's eyes narrowed, he slowed down slightly, and looked ahead.

Twenty feet ahead, three figures came rushing in, finally stopping ten feet away from the Thunder Pool.

"It's them."

Lin Yan's eyes showed surprise when he saw the three of them.

The two men and one woman were the three he had first encountered at the One-Zhang Thunder Pool.

Lin Yan was not surprised by encountering these three people, but rather by the fact that they were able to travel together without any thunderstorms striking.

"Brother Qiao, it's him!"

The woman saw Lin Yan sitting alone in the Thunder Pool and her eyes lit up with excitement. She immediately transmitted her voice to her companion: "A four-zhang Thunder Pool is equivalent to all three Thunder Pools we found earlier. We can take it."

"There's no need to snatch him; he's a prodigy of the Taiyi Sword Sect."

Qiao Shan disagreed. Even in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, they had to worry about being retaliated against by the Taiyi Sword Sect after dealing with Lin Yan, let alone after they got out.

Being targeted by a Dharma Master is not a good thing for them.

As a powerful being of Dharma Aspect, one cannot be so short-sighted; one must also consider the future.

"I agree. We need three spots in the four-zhang square Thunder Transformation Pool."

Another man shared the same thought as Qiao Shan: it's best to avoid going to places with such Dharma-type prodigies if possible.

When people first gathered in the Thunder Swamp Secret Realm, thunderstorms would descend, but that's no longer the case. The advantage of these powerful Dharma Aspect experts from major sects has returned.

The woman frowned slightly as she listened to her two companions' words.

She hadn't expected Qiao Shan and the other person to be so hesitant and timid. They had both cultivated to the Dharma Aspect Realm, yet they were still so cowardly and afraid of trouble. She had misjudged these two.

"Brother Lin, this Thunder Pool is four zhang square, which is enough for the four of us to refine together. The three of us would like to ask Brother Lin for three spots."

Qiao Shan spoke slowly, his tone polite but also carrying an undeniable certainty.

"I'm sorry, the lightning liquid in this lightning transformation pool isn't enough for me to refine. The three of you should find another lightning transformation pool," Lin Yandan replied.

Hearing Lin Yan's answer, Qiao Shan was stunned. Did he really not consider it at all?

Could it be that Lin Yan is certain that the three of them won't dare to make a move?

Even if you are a prodigy of the Dharma realm, to show such disrespect is far too arrogant.

:

"Since you're unwilling to give up your spot, then we'll have the Thunder Transformation Pool."

Hearing Lin Yan's reply, the woman was secretly delighted. Qiao Shan must be angry because Lin Yan had rejected him so directly, and she wanted to add fuel to the fire so that his anger would burn like a raging inferno.

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's figure went straight towards Lin Yan, and she struck out with both palms in the air. The power of her Dharma form condensed into a palm print, which descended from the sky towards Lin Yan.

Seeing the woman make a move, Qiao Shan and the other man exchanged a glance.

They both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

The three of them had already formed an alliance, and since Yu Hui had already made a move against Lin Yan, there was no reason for them to wait and see.

They just didn't want to make enemies with Lin Yan, not that they were afraid to.

Moreover, Qiao Shan was also angry because of Lin Yan's direct rejection.

"Let's do it!"

The two attacked almost simultaneously, just as Yu Hui's palm seal was being formed.

Or, since we've already started, we must force Lin Yan to leave.

A spear appeared in Qiao Shan's hand. He brandished the spear tip, and a spear beam five zhang long instantly turned blue under the infusion of his Dharma power.

"break!"

His first move was his strongest attack.

The spear's beam spun like a spiral, tearing apart the lightning energy in the space it passed through.

Another man also raised his long sword and slashed down with it.

The blade's energy whistled through the air, like a rainbow piercing the moon, heading straight for Lin Yan.

Sensing that Qiao Shan and his companion had taken action, Yu Hui smiled, knowing that they wouldn't choose to stand idly by.

As for the consequences of her feud with Lin Yan, that's a matter for the future. What she needs to do now is to help him enter the third stage of the illusory form and manifest his Dharma form as soon as possible.

"court death!"

Lin Yan was surprised that the woman would take the initiative. He whispered to himself, and the next moment he had the Chenyuan Sword in his hand, but he did not stand up.

Sitting cross-legged in the Thunder Transformation Pool, Lin Yan unleashed a sword strike.

Two hundred sword intents merged into one sword, further amplified by the immense power of the divine abode within his body.

This strike was a counterattack.

:

The palm print that the woman had conjured instantly collapsed upon contact with the sword light. The woman's expression changed drastically, and she looked flustered. She was about to raise her hand again, but... it was too late.

The sword light pierced directly through her brow, and the woman's eyes widened as she fell from mid-air.

"Sister Yu!"

When Qiao Shan saw Yu Hui die, his eyes were bloodshot. He shook his spear, and the original spear light instantly turned into six beams.

Qiao Shan unleashed his unique spear formation at this moment, holding nothing back.

"Good marksmanship, but not enough power!"

Lin Yan swung the Abyss Sword again; the difference in the power of the Dharma Aspect was too great to be overcome by techniques alone.

With this sword strike, sword energy surged forth, and Qiao Shan's seven spear beams vanished instantly upon colliding with the sword energy.

Upon seeing Qiao Shan being engulfed by the sword energy, the last man's expression changed, his face showing disbelief.

Neither Yu Hui nor Qiao Shan could withstand a single sword strike from Lin Yan. Is Lin Yan still a second-stage Void Phase martial artist?

retreat!

Without any hesitation, the man brandished his longsword, instantly transforming it into a sword stance, and at the same time, he turned into a streak of rainbow light and fled into the distance.

Revenge is impossible; running away could very well cost me my life.

"It's too late to retreat now!"

Lin Yan's eyes narrowed, and his figure also transformed into a streak of rainbow light, fleeing in the direction the man had left.

Using the Taiyi Sword Escape technique, he caught up with the man in the blink of an eye.

Then, a clean and decisive sword strike came down.

Sensing the sword energy behind him, the man knew he couldn't escape. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and swung his longsword out once more.

Unfortunately, the moment the sharp blade energy collided with the sword energy, it shattered like tofu, and in the man's despairing eyes, the sword energy completely enveloped him.

boom!

The man fell to the ground.

Lin Yan drew his sword, still in mid-air, and looked at the three corpses on the ground, shaking his head slightly.

Why bother.

After carrying the man's body back to Leichi, Lin Yan began searching the body. There was nothing of value on the two men, but there was an unexpected find on the woman.

"It's actually a Condensation Pearl. No wonder this woman is so eager to seize the Thunder Transformation Pool. She's determined to break through to the third stage of the Void Phase in this Thunder Swamp Secret Realm."

:

A box was found on the woman, and when Lin Yan saw the beads flowing like quicksand inside, he understood why the woman had taken the initiative to attack him.

The Condensed Image Pearl is a precious treasure that manifests the Dharma form.

If one's cultivation reaches the third stage of the Void Realm, with the help of the Condensation Pearl, there is a chance to directly manifest the form.

Otherwise, even a normal third-stage Void Aspect martial artist would need several months to manifest their Dharma Aspect.

Lin Yan did not have a Condensation Pearl, but he was confident that he could manifest his Dharma Form once he broke through to the third stage of the Void Form, which stemmed from his confidence in the power of his own Dharma Form.

His Dharma Aspect power is several times greater than that of a typical third-stage Void Aspect martial artist.

Lin Yan wasn't confident in manifesting all three Dharma forms, but he was absolutely certain that he could manifest only one Dharma form.

"With this Condensation Bead, I may be able to manifest both forms of Dharma at the same time."

When I really needed to sleep, someone brought me a pillow.

After putting away the Condensation Pearl and disposing of the three corpses, Lin Yan returned to the Thunder Transformation Pool to continue absorbing the Thunder Liquid.

One day later.

As the lightning liquid in the Thunder Pool gradually dwindled, Lin Yan's body trembled, and his aura surged wildly at that moment.

Thirty breaths later, the breath reached its peak.

"open!"

Lin Yan gave a soft shout, and the sharp aura he exuded began to slowly subside.

When his breathing had completely calmed down, Lin Yan opened his eyes.

The third stage of the illusory form has been achieved.
