Chapter 631 (2/2)
Shi San’s condition was becoming more and more serious by the day, and if this continued, he was likely to truly sleep forever.
Lin Jing didn’t know what had happened to Shi San’s grandfather and why he had not yet returned.
Although he was somewhat anxious, he had no other choice but to wait.
However, Grandfather Shi San’s cultivation is extraordinary.
It’s likely that he shouldn’t have encountered any trouble.
The most probable explanation is that something has delayed him…
…
…
Very soon.
Two more days had passed.
It wasn’t until that day, while Lin Jing was examining Shi San’s body, that Grandfather Shi San returned.
When Grandfather Shi San came back, his hair and beard were somewhat disheveled, and his aura was still unstable.
With each breath he took, an incredibly terrifying presence emitted from him.
Even though it was very faint, it was startlingly powerful.
It was more formidable than anyone Lin Jing had ever encountered.
After Grandfather Shi San returned, he looked at the bedridden Shi San, furrowed his brows slightly, and quickly asked Lin Jing:
“How is Shi San doing?”
Upon seeing Grandfather Shi San, Lin Jing hurriedly spoke up:
“Senior…”
“You’ve finally returned!”
“Shi San’s condition is not very good, his daily period of lucidity is now less than half an hour.”
Hearing this, Grandfather Shi San let out a sigh of relief:
“That’s good…
that’s good…”
“As long as he can still have moments of lucidity, that’s fortunate.”
Having said that, Grandfather Shi San then looked at Lin Jing and spoke:
“You’ve had a hard time these past ten years!”
Lin Jing waved his hand and said:
“These minor matters are not worth mentioning.”
“Without the senior’s help in suppressing that Demon Infant, I would probably have been devoured by it by now.”
“To speak the truth, it was the senior who provided me with great assistance.”
Grandfather Shi San looked Lin Jing up and down, then nodded:
“Your cultivation has indeed increased…”
“And the Demon Infant inside you must have been almost completely eradicated.”
“How were your insights during these ten years of travels?”
“Have you touched upon that realm?”
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
“Yes…”
“In a hazy sense, I have a feeling that I am not far from reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage.”
Grandfather Shi San heard this and showed a pleased expression, nodding repeatedly:
“Good…
good…”
“There might come a time when I’ll need to ask for your help.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing could not help but feel puzzled and thus he asked:
“May I know what the senior needs me to do…?”
Grandfather Shi San answered:
“On this trip, I obtained a method, a way to completely cure Shi San.”
“I need to leave this realm and travel to the Outer Spatial Void; at that time, I’ll need your help in breaking through the realm barrier.”
Grandfather Shi San spoke casually, but it hit Lin Jing like a clap of thunder:
“Leaving this realm, the Outer Spatial Void, and breaking the realm barrier…”
“Each of these words sounded as fantastical as a dream to Lin Jing.”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but wonder who Grandfather Shi San really was.
The fact that he could break through the realm barrier was something Lin Jing had never heard of before, that there were people capable of such a feat.
Amidst his astonishment, Lin Jing asked Grandfather Shi San:
“May I ask, Senior, what is your realm of cultivation?”
Grandfather Shi San replied in a light and casual tone:
“Me?”
“I entered the Mahayana Realm thousands of years ago…”
“To be a Mahayana cultivator…” Lin Jing involuntarily gasped in shock, utterly astounded.
Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Divinity Transformation, Solidifying Body, Dao Integration, Tribulation, Mahayana…
Nine major realms of a cultivator, with Qi Refinement being the gateway and Mahayana the pinnacle.

After Mahayana, one begins preparations to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
To think that Grandfather Shi San was a Mahayana cultivator, this placed him at the apex in the entire Cultivation World.
Thinking of this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of Shi San again.
The reason Shi San was in such a state was due to an attack on his parents.
Who could be so audacious as to dare strike against the offspring of a Mahayana cultivator?
Lin Jing estimated that the assailant was likely no ordinary individual.
Either they had an earth-shattering force behind them, or they themselves were of Mahayana realm cultivation.
However, these were not matters for Lin Jing to concern himself with.
There was another issue Lin Jing had to consider…
Following this, Lin Jing asked Grandfather Shi San:
“Senior…”
“You just mentioned breaking through the realm barrier, leaving this realm?”
Grandfather Shi San nodded and said:
“Yes…”
“After one’s cultivation reaches the Tribulation stage, one can indeed leave this realm and enter the void.”
“However, breaking through the realm barrier is extremely difficult, even for a full-strength Mahayana cultivator, it is near impossible.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing became even more perplexed.
He didn’t understand how Grandfather Shi San managed to open such a difficult barrier and why he would need his assistance.
With his meager cultivation, he probably wouldn’t even be able to scratch the barrier…
