Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2018: Chapter 2017: Technique Hall

At the moment, only Lin Dong, Daoist No-Conflict, and General Ying have achieved breakthroughs.

Lin Dong’s apparent strength progressed from Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist to Earth Realm martial artist. This advancement is witnessed by everyone.

As for his true strength, it progressed from Mid-phase of Ninth-Stage Grandmaster to Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster, something others are not aware of.

Also for his Mental Power, he advanced from the 23rd Tier to the 24th Tier.

In the aspect of Mental Power, he also cultivated ’Mental Power Defense,’ and beyond that, he developed a more diverse range of Mental Power attack techniques. Apart from the Sword of Spiritual Power, there are also Mental Power Blade, Spirit Gun, and so on.

This time, the enhancement in strength is undoubtedly significant for Lin Dong.

Besides the three of them, no one else has broken through a realm.

However, it’s evident that everyone’s strength has improved considerably.

Even without progressing a realm, they’ve all gained plentifully.

Lin Dong noticed, Audrey has now reached Third Rank Grandmaster Middle Stage, if before she wasn’t General Ying’s opponent, now she can contend against him.

Regarding Blood Spirit, it also reached Peak Second Stage Grandmaster, barely missing the breakthrough to Third Stage Grandmaster. But that tiny gap requires a special opportunity, and clearly, this ’Keeping God’s Hall’ doesn’t possess such an opportunity anymore.

Wolverine King also reached Peak Second Stage Grandmaster, and his Physical constitution has substantially improved. With his formidable physical toughness, his defense can entirely rival that of a Fourth Stage Grandmaster.

If one hasn’t reached Stage Four Grandmaster Realm or doesn’t possess some formidable ancient martial arts, breaking his physical defense would be extremely difficult.

Then, there’s Red Lust Master, reaching Peak Second Stage Grandmaster.

Heavenly Eye Mage reached Third Rank Grandmaster Middle Stage, and in terms of strength, ranks among the top.

The only one Lin Dong finds inscrutable is Tianxing Feng.

Tianxing Feng has techniques to conceal his breath, so even though Lin Dong possesses Peak Ninth Stage Grandmaster strength, he cannot see through him.

His specific strength remains unknown, even to Lin Dong.

But seeing how he earlier subdued that Guqin Bug in one move, it’s evident his strength might be unparalleled among everyone other than him.

”Perhaps he is even stronger than Buddhism Evil Heavenly Song,” Lin Dong deeply regarded Tianxing Feng.

Just at this moment, Tianxing Feng also smiled at him as their eyes met.

Lin Dong naturally responded with a smile.

Of all present, the one who gained the least strength improvement should be General Ying.

He already carried wounds, besides having depleted his Dan medicines. Though he has a few Heaven and Earth treasures, those barely aid in boosting his strength.

He now merely restored his peak strength, without further breakthroughs.

”Damn it, if I hadn’t been injured earlier, my strength would have definitely progressed further.”

”All blame goes to that damn Dong Lin; if not for him, I wouldn’t have missed a chance to enhance my strength.”

Seeing everyone else improve immensely while he merely treads in place naturally irks him, so he blames it all on Lin Dong.

But now, even with his brewing resentment, he dares not directly challenge Lin Dong.

”Since everyone has cultivated to a critical point, we can leave this Keeping God’s Hall and proceed further,” Audrey suggested.

”Just this Keeping God’s Hall alone has furnished us with rich gains, truly anticipate what awaits,” Blood Spirit also stated.

Others’ eyes also sparkled at the thought.

Soon, their gazes turned to Lin Dong.

Since it’s time to leave, naturally they’d rely on Lin Dong.

Everyone has gotten used to it.

Lin Dong was accustomed too, and began searching for an exit inside Keeping God’s Hall.

Soon, he found there was a Formation here.

This Formation was called ’Chess Officer Maze.’

This Chess Officer Maze is naturally not as formidable as the Nine-Twists Yellow River Formation.

The Nine-Twists Yellow River Formation, if activated, requires leveraging the power of nine Divine Dragon shadows.

But Chess Officer Maze can be triggered just by some surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Deciphering it is naturally simpler than the Nine-Twists Yellow River Formation.

The layout of Keeping God’s Hall is like a chess board; one just needs to find the ’Heavenly Element’ position to decipher the Chess Officer Maze.

Lin Dong soon found the ’Heavenly Element’ spot.

Sure enough, it differed from other locations; Lin Dong sensed with Mental Power and discovered a chess piece’s pattern at that position.

Lin Dong pressed his thumb onto the chess piece pattern.

”Boom!”

Instantly, a wall in front of him exploded open, revealing a doorway.

That is the place to continue moving forward.

Everyone’s eyes are greeted once again by a dark passage.

Lin Dong used Mental Power to perceive and found there’s no danger within the dark passage, so he entered first.

”Let’s go, follow along,” Lin Dong said to everyone.

All the others followed him.

In this dark passage, they encountered no danger whatsoever, proceeding unobstructed.

”This dark passage actually has no danger,” Audrey couldn’t help but laugh, feeling somewhat unaccustomed.

Lin Dong said: ”Didn’t you realize, the further we proceed, the safer it becomes? And it becomes easier to penetrate the Hidden Dragon Cave.”

Upon hearing Lin Dong, everyone grasped the truth, it truly is so.

Lin Dong analyzed with everyone:

”I think the Hidden Dragon Superior also desires that proud Sons of Heaven inherit his legacies.”

”He’s merely been selectively choosing individuals.”

”Only exceptionally gifted ones can obtain his inheritance.”

”Getting to this point signifies we’ve earned the Hidden Dragon Superior’s approval.”

Everyone nodded in agreement, finding Lin Dong’s insights reasonable.

Right at this time, they realized they had arrived at the dark passage’s end.

Everyone entered a gigantic palace.

This palace was twice as large as the Swords Intent Hall combined with Keeping God’s Hall.

”This should also be one of the Nine Halls, just unsure which of the Nine Halls this is,” Blood Spirit remarked.

Daoist No-Conflict also couldn’t discern which hall among the Nine Halls this was.

To recognize it, an exploration is needed.

Afterward, everyone began surveying this enormous palace.

Despite a lengthy search, seemingly no gains were found.

”Could this be just an ordinary palace, not one of the Nine Halls?” Wolverine King speculated.

Recall, within the three palaces and Nine Halls, every one provides opportunities.

Impossible for it to be empty as it appears now.

Yet Daoist No-Conflict shook his head, saying: ”This should indeed be one of the Nine Halls; in Hidden Dragon Cave, building such a palace wouldn’t serve as an ordinary palace.”

Lin Dong also nodded, saying: ”Daoist No-Conflict is right; this palace definitely holds opportunities, we just haven’t discovered them.”

”Everyone continue your exploration more thoroughly.”

As he spoke, he separately moved aside and used Mental Power to sense.

After a search, he finally discovered this palace’s extraordinary nature.

”It’s revealed this palace is Technique Hall,” Lin Dong’s eyes glittered with distinguished lights.

The cultivation legacies left by the Hidden Dragon Superior must be incredibly formidable.

Estimate at least it’s ancient martial arts as the baseline; obtaining one or two legacies would be immensely beneficial.
