Hearing that both Lin Yun and Lin Dong had broken through.
Lin Dong's shared joy immediately vanished.
Originally, he had broken through to the Core Formation Realm Minor Perfection in the Danxian Pool and condensed a very high-quality Eight Star Origin Pill. After returning, he successfully condensed the second Ancient Swirl Symbol Seal and broke through to Two Seal Symbol Master. He had also achieved double breakthroughs and felt he was quite fast, enough to show off to Lin Yun.
Unexpectedly, he was still a step slower than Lin Yun! Lin Dong truly felt exhausted. He had been chasing, but it felt like he could never catch up.
Even the pets Lin Yun raised put a lot of pressure on him. They had only gone out once, and upon returning, all these pets were in the Core Formation Realm, standing at the same level as him.
It was one thing for him to be a freak, but even his pets were this freakish.
However, it was fortunate that Lin Dong's cultivation was not just about catching up to and surpassing Lin Yun. His motivation came more from Lin Langtian, the man who had harmed his father.
He had to help his father get revenge! This was the driving force behind Lin Dong's relentless cultivation.
At this moment, Little Marten's Demon Spirit had drifted into the backyard.
He was going to check on Lin Yun's pets.
Such rapid breakthrough speed, even within their Sky Demon Marten Clan, was incredibly astonishing. After all, demon beasts were demon beasts. Their long lifespans meant their growth couldn't be as fast as humans.
There must be a reason! "How strange, their bloodlines all seem extraordinary, greatly enhanced, and with slight changes... This mutated bloodline? Isn't it very difficult to appear? How do they all have it? Could it be that Lin Yun has a method to make pets mutate!"
Little Marten was shocked again. In the demon beast world, the chance of a mutated bloodline appearing was so minuscule it was almost non-existent. Moreover, not every mutated bloodline could strengthen in a good direction. When absorbing other bloodlines, if not controlled properly, it was possible to become neither one thing nor the other, counterproductive.
For these few, all mutating in a good direction, it was like a miracle, or directly a divine sign.
"Squeak squeak!"
Suddenly, a purple marten shadow discovered him.
It was looking at him, making curious squeaking sounds.
"Such keen perception, it can actually discover me!"
Little Marten was surprised. He floated down to observe the purple marten up close.
Before, he had only used spiritual sense to probe and hadn't observed it specifically.
He didn't know until he looked, and his heart skipped a beat! "This purple marten is actually so beautiful!"
Little Marten was slightly taken aback. Ordinary purple martens like this were generally seen as foolish martens in the eyes of their Sky Demon Marten clan, lacking much intelligence.
But this purple marten was different. Its eyes were quite agile, and it could sense his Demon Spirit, proving its spiritual sense was very strong.
"Squeak squeak!"
The purple marten seemed very curious about Little Marten in his Demon Spirit state, its strange purple eyes examining him.
"It is a bit different. Then I'll pass on something to you and see..."
Little Marten's tail flicked, and a force lifted the purple marten, taking it to the highest rooftop in the courtyard.
"Empty your mind and feel carefully..."
Little Marten pressed a paw on the purple marten's head, transmitting a spiritual message. A faint purple light entered the purple marten's head from his paw. Before long, a complex and obscure purple rune appeared on the purple marten's head.
The purple marten closed its eyes, feeling the extra information in its head. Little Marten on the side withdrew his paw and couldn't help but look at the purple marten a few more times.
His tail swayed, seemingly wanting to stroke the purple marten, but after hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly pulled his tail back.
"Heh... I'll just watch you two unfold your immortal-mortal romance!"
Through his Insightful Eye Technique, Lin Yun clearly saw Little Marten's subtle actions. The gap between a Sky Demon Marten and an ordinary marten was not an exaggeration to call it the difference between immortal and mortal.
However, the current Little Marten was a Sky Demon Marten who had fallen into the mortal world!
His Little Purple had a mutated bloodline, was so cute and beautiful, and also elegant, clean, graceful, and intelligent and agile.
Although he didn't know the aesthetic of martens, even from a human perspective, Little Marten, who had been single for hundreds of years, had no reason to ignore such a special purple marten.
Little Purple was his pet! Lin Yun was very interested in seeing Little Marten fall.
That way, Little Marten would also be considered his pet.
...
"Brother Lin Yun, we haven't sparred in a long time. I've gained some insights into the Mystic Gate Seal. How about you help guide me?"
Lin Dong recovered from the blow and immediately suggested sparring, attempting to surprise Lin Yun with his mastery of the Mystic Gate Seal.
He had successfully learned the entire Mystic Gate Seal!
"Okay, I was just thinking the same thing."
Lin Yun readily agreed and immediately created a task in his mind.
Task: Spar with Lin Dong. Reward: Luck +1, Charm +1.
Even daily sparring had attribute rewards. As expected of his lucky little brother... Lin Yun smiled with satisfaction, deciding to praise his lucky little brother well later, encourage him, and tell him to persevere, "Oli gei."
"Mystic Gate Seal First Layer, Second Layer..."
As soon as Lin Dong made his move, he went straight for the big techniques.
The two had already exchanged blows many times, so there was no need for preliminary probing. Whatever techniques they had, they used them directly.
Lin Dong's hands quickly formed seals, getting faster and faster, more and more complex, and the light seals in his palms became increasingly brilliant.
"Be careful, this is my Four Consecutive Strikes!"
Lin Dong couldn't help but remind him. This was a fifth-grade martial art, and even for a strong practitioner at the Core Formation Realm Minor Perfection, it posed a significant threat.
"Come on, I can handle things even more powerful than this," Lin Yun said with a faint smile.
He didn't use any martial arts, just channeled his Origin Power. The golden Origin Power formed a thick layer of Pure Origin Qi around him.
*"Bang!"*
The light seal struck his Pure Origin Qi, creating a roaring sound. Terrifying Origin Power fluctuations swept around, destroying the trees in the courtyard.
Taking advantage of the moment the Origin Power light bloomed, Lin Yun quickly retreated a few steps, simultaneously retracting his Pure Origin Qi.
"Mystic Gate Seal... it actually has four layers, you, you've comprehended it again!"
Lin Yun began to act.
He looked at Lin Dong with considerable disbelief.
Seeing that Lin Yun had actually broken through his Pure Origin Qi and was forced back a few steps, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a little smug.
He had been suppressed by Lin Yun for too long and had never achieved a single victory against him.
Looking at Lin Yun's shocked expression, Lin Dong felt much better, and his confidence returned! Fortunately, I haven't been left too far behind by Brother Lin Yun.
"Brother Lin Dong, you are truly a genius!"
"You can even evolve and perfect such complex seal techniques. I can't help but admire you. Look at this power, it's much stronger than ordinary fourth-grade martial arts. It should have reached the level of a fifth-grade martial art, a fifth-grade martial art... Brother Lin Dong, you must teach me!"
Lin Yun appeared very excited.
"No... no problem. I came to find you this time precisely to teach you the Mystic Gate Seal." Lin Dong agreed without hesitation, but then seemed to feel a bit awkward and added, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. I have the Stone Talisman to help, so it's easier to perfect."
"It's not exaggerated at all. The Stone Talisman is yours, which represents you. And such a complex seal technique, even if someone tries to learn it by following along, it's not that easy for ordinary people to learn," Lin Yun said firmly, continuing his praise.
"Brother Lin Yun, let me teach you first!"
Lin Dong couldn't resist the praise. Immediately, he handed over the sealing methods for the third and fourth layers to Lin Yun.
After explaining it once, he said leisurely, "Brother Lin Yun, you try it yourself first. I'll see if there are any shortcomings and correct you."
"Okay!"
Lin Yun grinned, then began to move his hands. Before long, a light seal condensed, becoming increasingly brilliant and more solid and contained than Lin Dong's before. Moreover, the technique was smooth, fluid, and completed in one go!
