"I appreciate your mercy, Lord Black Mountain. I was rash and will leave this place right away..."

With that thought in mind, Lin Yun saluted with cupped hands and politely said.

No matter what, since the other party had not taken advantage of the situation to continue attacking him, nor had he allowed the more than a dozen Super Warriors at the third level of the Super Realm to ambush and sneak attack him, Lin Yun owed him this much.

Having said that, Lin Yun turned around, planning to leave the place.

As long as Lord Black Mountain was here, he shouldn't even think about continuing his slaughter of other Ghost Practitioners.

However, it wasn't necessarily the case that this Lord Black Mountain was the final boss of the Heavenly Principle Tower's fiftieth floor; it was just his guess that only by killing him could he pass the fiftieth floor.

Especially after witnessing the other party's strength and his dozen strong guards, his guess faded even more.

Perhaps, after leaving here, he could find the real key to getting through the Heavenly Principle Tower's fiftieth floor.

"Buzz—"

However, just as Lin Yun started to entertain this idea, a ripple in space undulated, and a new space appeared before his eyes, its momentum overwhelming and rushing forth to meet him.

"Is this... the fifty-first layer's space? Have I passed this layer?" Lin Yun was slightly startled as he looked at the new space that appeared.

In the previous spaces, especially in the later levels, it almost always took him ten days to half a month to get through one layer. This layer, where he had spent less than four days and of which three and a half were spent refining the gray crystal, left him with less than half a day of actual trial, yet he had passed?

This gave him an incredulous feeling.

"I don't know what this trial is testing, but since I've passed it, that's a good thing..." With a flicker in his eyes, Lin Yun thought to himself and without further hesitation, he took a step forward, speeding towards the new space.

"Buzz!"

A new world appeared before Lin Yun.

...

"Lord Black Mountain, why did you spare that human? If you had made a move, you could have certainly captured him..."

In the fiftieth-level space, just after Lin Yun had left, a Ghost Practitioner of the second level of the Super Realm had arrived nearby and, looking towards Lord Black Mountain, said with frustration.

"This human, who is only in his dozens of years old and already at Half Step Super Realm, possesses strength far greater than Cultivators of the third level of the Super Realm. His talent and potential are very strong; he may be the Master reincarnated—I couldn't possibly kill him..." Lord Black Mountain said indifferently.

"What? The Master reincarnated?"

"The Master... The Master is still alive?"

The Ghost Practitioners were shocked.

This matter was known only to the spirit of the Heavenly Principle Tower and the higher existences within the space of the Heavenly Principle Tower; these lower beings were unaware of it.

Previously, although some Cultivators had reached the fiftieth floor of the Heavenly Principle Tower, none had the terrifying strength Lin Yun had, so their trials were relatively easier and never as challenging as Lin Yun's.

Of course, Lord Black Mountain had never appeared before, and he hadn't disclosed this matter to these lower entities.

"According to the calculations of the Divine Calculator, if the Master has been reincarnated successfully, it would be around now that he awakens; and the probability is highest that he would appear in this universe..." Lord Black Mountain nodded slightly, his voice carrying a heavy tone.

"The Divine Calculator? That top-tier warrior known as the number one in the Cosmic Ocean for his calculations?"

"If he calculated it, it must be correct!"

"That's great!"

"The Master is actually still alive!"

"Wuu wuu..."

Upon hearing Lord Black Mountain's words, the Ghost Practitioners excitedly voiced their feelings, some even bursting into tears.

After their Master had perished, they had lived in dire straits. If the Master returned, they could make their way back to the Cosmic Ocean and relive their former glory.

Seeing this, Lord Black Mountain smiled faintly.

There was something he did not tell these Ghost Practitioners: that the Master would awaken soon if the reincarnation was successful was not quite right. Instead, the recent time was the last deadline.

If during this period, the Master's reincarnation did not awaken successfully, he would fall into eternal reincarnation, never to awaken again.

Never to return.

At this thought, Lord Black Mountain felt a heavy sadness.

"I wonder if the young man just now is the reincarnation of the Master. I hope that the Master awakens in this short time..." Lord Black Mountain murmured softly.

Sigh.

At the next moment, he turned and left the space.

This event, admittedly secret, had now changed... and need not be kept confidential anymore.

Hopes... that the Master might come back, otherwise, the outcomes for many matters, many people, would become utterly tragic.

...

Heavenly Principle Tower, the fifty-first-level space.

"As expected, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the fifty-first layer of space is even stronger, and my state of perceiving the laws of heaven and earth is also much improved..." Lin Yun sensed the atmosphere of the space and exclaimed.

This was not because his Mental Strength had broken through to the Half Step Super Realm, which had enhanced his power of comprehension; rather, this space was indeed much better than the ones before.

"It seems that the quality and principles of the spaces haven't changed beyond the fiftieth layer... If that's so, does it mean that the spaces of the fifty-second and fifty-third layers are also of higher quality?" A glint of sharpness flickered deep within Lin Yun's eyes.

"Now, I feel that in such a space, it will take no more than five to six years for me to break through to the Super Realm. If I am in the fifty-second or fifty-third layer, I am certain I can make the breakthrough even faster. Yes, I must strive for higher layers..." Lin Yun thought determinedly.

Although Modan had constantly assured him it was fine, deep down Lin Yun couldn't help but worry. They had eradicated a top Warrior of the fourth level of the Super Realm from the Firestone Family, and seriously injured another. Would the Firestone Family truly accept this outcome? Would the Meteor Ancestor of the Firestone Family really not make a move against them?

Perhaps, the Meteor Ancestor had been occupied with other matters and had not come after them, but what if, once he was free to deal with them... how would they defend themselves?

Rely on the Immortal Origin Holy Land?

Remembering Chu Lee, Lin Yun dared not place any hope in the Immortal Origin Holy Land.

Even if the Holy Mother was willing to stand by him, her strength was very weak. Modan had once received a great favor from the First Saint thousands of years ago, so he was willing to respond to the Holy Mother's request, but how many other strong cultivators would do the same?

If the Meteor Ancestor of the Firestone Family truly was a Saint, then probably only a Saint could stand against him.

Does the Immortal Origin Holy Land still harbor a Saint? Even if it does... how exalted must their status be, and would they really heed the Holy Mother's request, to help him?

Helping the Holy Mother is one thing, but heeding her request to help him is another matter entirely—one with two layers of relationship in between. He truly dared not hold hope.
