This was the power released when breaking through a bottleneck, wildly destructive, capable of destroying many things. Those of higher realms were even more ferocious, capable of destroying even stronger things.

Having broken through to the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, Lin Yifan sat cross-legged on the spot, resting and recuperating.

At this time, there was no rush, for there were still injuries within his body that needed healing; moreover, the new realm needed to be consolidated to prevent any damage.

After perhaps more than an hour, he finally opened his eyes and stood up.

Now having ascended to the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, his strength had increased significantly; should that outsider cultivator from the Misty Forest come to hunt him down again, he would surely be able to kill him in return. There was no particular reason, only that he was very powerful at the moment.

One must not overexert in advancing a realm, or it would backfire; therefore, Lin Yifan did not continue to pursue further enhancement.

Now, having learned alchemy and various martial arts, with his realm improved as well, it was time to leave Peach Blossom Valley and return to Guiyuan City.

Hence, he immediately set off to find Bright True Master.

On the way, he happened to encounter Xiaofang and asked her about Bright True Master's whereabouts, "Senior sister, where is Master? Where is he?"

"Master is in the Alchemy Room, what do you need him for?" Xiaofang asked curiously.

"I need to say goodbye for now and return to Shenzhou Country," Lin Yifan answered.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Weren't you going to break through your realm before leaving?" Xiaofang asked, puzzled.

Hearing this news, she was actually very disappointed and reluctant, but she dared not express it, fearing it would affect her relationship with Lin Yifan.

"I've already broken through the realm, so I am leaving now," Lin Yifan replied truthfully.

"You've broken through the realm? No way! Weren't you just at Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm? How could you break through so suddenly?" Xiaofang's face was filled with shock; it was something beyond her imagination.

A cultivator breaking through a realm within two hours was truly unheard of, unseen before.

If Lin Yifan had been at the peak of Breaking Mortal Fourth Realm, it might have been plausible, but Lin Yifan was not at the peak, which was inconceivable.

"How is it not possible? Senior sister, I am a martial arts prodigy with exceptional bones; advancing realms for me is just a minor matter. There's no need for you to be so amazed," Lin Yifan boasted with pride.

In truth, if he were a normal cultivator, he could not have advanced so rapidly; the reason being that a normal cultivator's dantian cannot absorb massive amounts of cultivation power from the outside world—it can only absorb slowly, bit by bit, accumulating before a breakthrough can occur.

Therefore, it takes a long time for a typical cultivator to advance a realm, even with sufficient cultivation power, and it would still necessitate some time to break through.

"I still don't believe it, unless you show me some of your moves," Xiaofang responded.

This was almost an impossible feat, even for a genius like Lin Yifan; thus, she remained incredulous.

"Ah! Since it's come to this, then I will just have to show some moves to senior sister," Lin Yifan sighed helplessly and then demonstrated his cultivation power, throwing several punches out of thin air.

Feeling the aura of that power, it was indeed that of the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm; at that moment, Xiaofang was completely shocked, never expecting Lin Yifan to have truly broken through the realm—an inconceivable event in her mind.

Seeing Xiaofang gaping in astonishment, Lin Yifan felt a bit proud and smug as he said, "Senior sister, what do you think? I didn't lie, did I?"

"How did you manage to do that?" Xiaofang asked, full of curiosity.

"Senior sister, everyone's body is different, and I have exceptional bones and unobstructed meridians, naturally capable of rapidly absorbing cultivation power and raising my realm; so there's nothing to be surprised about," Lin Yifan answered.

He didn't reveal the true reason, as that was his trump card and vulnerability, something he couldn't afford to expose lightly.

"Junior brother, at this rate, your cultivation will sooner or later surpass that of your senior sister! It seems I will have to bask in your glory and rely on you for protection in the future," Xiaofang said with a pouting smile.

This could be considered a joke, or a profound confession.

"Senior Sister is too modest, Junior Brother still has a long way to go. When the time comes, I hope Senior Sister will lead the way and keep me from going astray," Lin Yifan said humbly.

"Alright! Let's not beat around the bush with our modesty here, go find Master quickly," Xiaofang didn't want to delay Lin Yifan's time.

Those who are meant to leave will always go, no matter how reluctant one is to part or how hard one tries to retain them, it's useless.

"Then, Junior Brother shall take his leave first." Having said that, Lin Yifan headed straight for the Alchemy Room.

Watching Lin Yifan's hastily retreating figure, Xiaofang murmured to herself, "Who knows how long it will be before we can meet again."

"Ah!!!"

With a long sigh, she went about her own work.

Upon arriving at the Alchemy Room, Lin Yifan first knocked on the door politely and then inquired, "Master! Are you inside? Your disciple has a request."

"Come in!"

A voice, aged yet authoritative, came from within the house, permitting Lin Yifan to enter.

Lin Yifan wasted no words and pushed the door open, then stepped inside.

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?" Bright True Master asked leisurely.

At this moment, he was seated on the meditation mat in meditation, with his hands forming a lotus gesture, and his eyes tightly closed, seemingly engrossed in deep thought.

"Disciple wishes to leave Peach Blossom Valley to rescue his girlfriend and humbly asks for Master's permission," Lin Yifan replied truthfully.

"So anxious? Not going to improve your Realm anymore?" Bright True Master continued to inquire casually.

"Reporting to Master, your disciple has already advanced to the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm; hence, it is not advisable to continue breaking through realms for now," Lin Yifan answered.

"Hmm! Haste makes waste, this thought is good, sensible," the Bright True Master commended silently, with not much expression showing on his face.

This was somewhat unexpected for Lin Yifan. He had thought that upon hearing his account, his Master would be as shocked as his Senior Sister. But he was met with no such reaction, leaving his expectations unmet.

However, it was also understandable – the Bright True Master was highly respected and always balanced, not easily amazed by such minor matters.

What he didn't know was that the Bright True Master had known about his breakthrough long before.

In Peach Blossom Valley, nothing could escape the Bright True Master's all-seeing eyes; every action was within his control. Having already been surprised once, there was no need for further shock. And as for Lin Yifan, being a rare talent with exceptional bones, there wasn't much to be startled about.

"Then, Master, may your disciple temporarily leave Peach Blossom Valley and return to Shenzhou Country?" Lin Yifan asked tentatively.

"You may," Bright True Master answered.

Upon hearing these two words, Lin Yifan's face broke into a smile. But the next moment, his smile abruptly ceased.

"However, you must take your Senior Sister with you," Bright True Master added.

"Why? Master, please tell me, why is that?" Lin Yifan looked completely puzzled.

What did it have to do with his Senior Sister if he was going back? It was truly baffling and incomprehensible.
