The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2594 The bottleneck of heavenly realm warriors!

Inside the palace, the Nine-Star Blood King had now transformed into a twisted blood shadow.

He was frantically trying to pour his blood and evil will into Lin Dong's body like a tide, attempting to complete a shocking possession of his body.

Lin Dong's face was as pale as paper, with veins bulging on his forehead. It was obvious that he was enduring unprecedented pain and struggle.

His eyes were closed, but deep in his heart, an unyielding fire was quietly burning.

This flame comes from the ancient blood dormant in his body, a blood containing endless power and mystery.

Just as the blood of the Nine-Star Blood King was about to completely corrode Lin Dong's soul, there seemed to be a subtle tremor between heaven and earth.

Within Lin Dong's body, a power that had been dormant for countless years suddenly awakened, like a sleeping dragon opening its eyes and releasing dazzling light.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted from Lin Dong's body, and the originally raging blood-red torrent instantly reversed. It was no longer a one-way invasion, but turned into a crazy swallowing.

Lin Dong's bloodline power, in an incredible way, disintegrated the blood and will of the Nine-Star Blood King one by one, turning the tables and starting the heaven-defying devouring and refining.

The Nine-Star Blood King let out bursts of shrill wails, his voice filled with disbelief and despair.

It had never thought that such a powerful being like itself would fall into the hands of a human boy.

"You...your bloodline is actually..." It tried its best to reveal the secret hidden deep in Lin Dong's bloodline.

But before he could finish his words, his consciousness was quickly extinguished like a candle in the wind, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated into nothingness.

With the complete demise of the Nine-Star Blood King, a strange and powerful aura began to spread around Lin Dong's body.

The blood of the Nine-Star Blood King is also an incomparable amount of energy. At this moment, it turns into Lin Dong's "nutrients" to allow Lin Dong to grow.

"Huhu~~~"

Lin Dong practiced the Devouring Technique, and the blood turned into energy and poured into his Dantian.

His body seemed to have undergone a profound change.

The ancient and powerful blood force surged in his meridians, and every flow brought an unprecedented sense of power.

Lin Dong could clearly feel that his strength, speed, reaction and even perception of spiritual energy had reached a whole new level.

However, when the joy and excitement gradually subsided, Lin Dong found that he still could not cross the bottleneck that lay before him - the threshold of the second heaven.

This bottleneck was like a natural chasm. No matter how hard he tried, he seemed to be standing still and unable to move forward.

"Why is this happening? Such a huge amount of energy has already exceeded that of a medicinal king. Why can't it allow me to break through to the second level of the heavenly realm warrior?" Lin Dong frowned, his heart full of confusion and unwillingness.

He knew very well that the power of the Nine-Star Blood King that he had absorbed was not something that ordinary people could possess. The energy contained in it was comparable to that of the King of Medicine. Why was it not enough to help him break through this bottleneck?
Lin Dong sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated, trying to go deep into his blood to find the root cause that was hindering his progress.

As his consciousness gradually sank into the ocean of blood, ancient and mysterious pictures emerged in his mind.

From these memory fragments, Lin Dong gradually realized an astonishing fact: although his bloodline power was extremely strong, it was not without limits.

In order to break through the current bottleneck and reach the realm of the second sky, it requires not only the accumulation of external energy, but also a deep understanding and application of bloodline power, as well as the ultimate exploration of one's own potential.

"So that's how it is. The bottleneck for every breakthrough of a Heaven Realm warrior is not the lack of strength, but the lack of heart." Lin Dong suddenly realized, and his mind suddenly became clear. At this moment, an unprecedented understanding quietly took root in his heart.

Once upon a time, he thought that as long as he continued to absorb powerful energy, he would be able to easily cross the threshold of becoming a heavenly realm warrior.

However, as his strength grew, he increasingly felt an indescribable bottleneck, as if an invisible force was preventing him from moving forward.

Until recently, when he went deep into his blood to explore the source of his strength, he suddenly realized that the real breakthrough lies in the sublimation of his state of mind.

"State of mind is a reflection of a warrior's inner world. It determines how far we can go and what heights we can reach." Lin Dong thought to himself.

He began to re-examine his path of cultivation.

At the same time, he began to communicate with the witch god, asking her about the bottleneck of heavenly realm warriors.

He communicated with the witch god in the dragon ring space.

Inside the dragon ring space, there was a faint fluorescent light all around, which was the spiritual energy fluctuation unique to that space.

An ancient and profound aura was faintly transmitted, connecting with Lin Dong.

"Senior Wushen," Lin Dong said respectfully, with a hint of urgency in his voice, "I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation as a Heaven Realm warrior in recent days, especially regarding the breakthrough of the first level, which has made me very confused. I wonder if you can give me some pointers and tell me what the state of mind of a Heaven Realm warrior who is at the bottleneck of this level is like?"

The voice of the witch god slowly sounded in the space, with a bit of wisdom: "Lin Dong, the path of martial arts is vast and boundless. Everyone's understanding of martial arts is as unique as the stars."

"Therefore, the mental state faced by each person at the bottleneck of the Heaven Realm Warrior of the First Heaven is also very different. Although I have broken through the bottlenecks of many Heaven Realm Warriors, I cannot give you a unified answer."

Lin Dong frowned slightly when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and continued to ask: "Then, senior, can you tell me how to find and comprehend this state of mind that belongs to me, so as to break through this bottleneck?"

The witch god chuckled, and the sound seemed to travel through the long river of time and space:
“Searching and understanding is a journey of the soul.”

"Some people wander on the brink of life and death, find a glimmer of hope in despair, and then have an epiphany."

"Some people choose to step into the secular world, experience the vicissitudes of life, and comprehend the true meaning of martial arts among the myriad emotions."

"There are also people who keep mountains, rivers, lakes and seas as their companions, seeing the height of the mountains, the vastness of the sea, and the various forms of life, and find spiritual tranquility and breakthroughs in nature. Even more, perhaps just in an inadvertent moment, the soul is sublimated and the bottleneck is naturally broken."

"Remember, Lin Dong, you need to experience and feel all of this with your heart. Everyone's path is different, and no one else can walk it for you. Only when you truly find your own state of mind can you cross the seemingly insurmountable gap."

Lin Dong listened quietly to the words of the witch god, with an unprecedented enlightenment surging in his heart.

He nodded, his eyes gradually becoming firm and bright: "Senior Wushen is right, I understand. Since everyone's situation is different, I will no longer dwell on the specific answer. I will open my mind to experience and feel..."

"Whether it's the experience of life and death, the travels in the mortal world, or the magnificence of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, I will try them one by one, and try my best to find and break through the bottleneck that belongs to me..."

The witch god nodded and said, "Don't worry, for a spiritual practitioner like you, this won't be a problem for you at all."

"The most important thing for you now is to remove the Death Curse on your body."

Lin Dong nodded, and then his eyes suddenly opened.

His eyes sparkled like never before.
