Chapter 546: Physical limit

Five years later!

Feng Haoyu sat cross-legged in mid-air, but his momentum was constantly rising. In the end, he even let out a light shout, and the terrifying energy actually caused ripples in the surrounding immense pressure.

But it only lasted for three breaths before this momentum dissipated.

Feng Haoyu opened his eyes, a trace of helplessness on his face. Improving from the early stage to the middle stage of the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm in two years—this speed was not slow. But what he didn't expect was that as his strength improved, the pressure of this sixth layer did not decrease but increased; instead, it was even harder to withstand than before.

This meant he could no longer stay in the sixth layer.

Before coming to the Entropy clan, his father had once reminded him that once his strength broke through in the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm, he could no longer continue to stay inside.

Because the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm's pressure increases with the improvement of the entrant's stage.

He had originally been able to stay in the sixth layer relying on his strength at the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm, but now he couldn't stay anymore.

After entering the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm, there is only one way to continue staying in the secret realm after one's strength improves: rely on the physical body to withstand the pressure in the secret realm from the very beginning.

Only those who rely purely on their physical body to withstand the pressure will not have the secret realm increase the pressure after their strength improves.

As for why the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm has such rules, Feng Haoyu is unclear, and his father doesn't know either. The only ones who know the inside story are the patriarch and elders of the Entropy clan.

Five years in the sixth layer, four months outside.

In four months, breaking through from the early stage to the middle stage of the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm—this speed is not slow. It is equivalent to saving more than four years of time. Logically, he should be satisfied.

Indeed, if there were no comparison, Feng Haoyu would be very satisfied with his gains in the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm. Even before he came in, the goal he set for himself was to break through to the middle stage, and now he could be considered to have reached his goal.

But when looking at Lin Chen, who was still walking there purely relying on physical strength, Feng Haoyu's expression became complicated.

Five years!

He witnessed Lin Chen go from roaring in pain with every step to being able to walk normally now.

For five years, Lin Chen had not performed any cultivation. His body was destroyed by the pressure of the sixth layer, then he would stop to circulate some kind of technique to repair it, and once his body was repaired, he would continue... repeating this cycle over and over.

Feng Haoyu knew very well in his heart that Lin Chen must have mastered an extremely powerful body-tempering technique. This body-tempering technique allowed Lin Chen's injuries to recover quickly after being injured.

Otherwise, even if Lin Chen had such tenacious will, his body would not allow him to repeat this day after day for five years.

As a genius of the Wind Breath clan, being able to reach the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm at thirty, Feng Haoyu had his own pride. Even when facing geniuses from the four great upper clans, he didn't feel he was any worse than those people, and among his peers, he rarely admired others.

But at this moment, Feng Haoyu had to admit that he admired Lin Chen very much.

Although the time flow of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm had slowed down a lot compared to the outside world, one had to return to the outside world to feel it. People who entered the secret realm could not feel the difference in time flow.

Five years...

Even if it were him with this kind of body-tempering technique of Lin Chen's, he might not dare to do this!

Even if he dared to do this, he might not be able to persist.

"No wonder he walked out of a desolate land of martial arts, yet was able to make a name for himself as a heaven-gifted genius in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao in just over two years."

Feng Haoyu whispered. Lin Chen reaching the top of Martial Way Mountain was not enough to attract his attention, but the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao's royal family launched the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and Lin Chen won first place in the Heaven-Reaching Tower. He did know about this matter.

It was precisely because he knew about this that he went to understand Lin Chen, and only then did he know Lin Chen's background and the reputation he had made in the martial way.

A martial artist from a humble background, even if he later entered the Canglan Sect, being able to walk to this step is truly not easy.

And now Feng Haoyu also had an epiphany in his heart: why was Lin Chen able to have such achievements?

Such a tenacious will is rare in the world!

Feng Haoyu left his original spot, and a quarter of an hour later, he saw Lin Chen, who was still walking.

"Brother Lin!"

This was the first time Feng Haoyu took the initiative to greet Lin Chen, and he even addressed him as "brother."

Lin Chen raised his eyes to look at Feng Haoyu. After five years of walking, except for the first three years which were spent in pain, he had been able to resist this pressure with his physical body alone for the last two years. But these three years of walking had given him more exquisite control over his own body, and for the last two years, he had been in a mysterious state.

The human body is like a treasure. He vaguely felt that he had touched something, but he was just missing that final kick to open the door.

"Does Brother Feng have something to say?"

"I am going to leave the secret realm."

Hearing Feng Haoyu's words, Lin Chen was stunned. Only then did he seriously look at Feng Haoyu. When he felt that Feng Haoyu's aura had become a bit stronger, he knew that Feng Haoyu must have had a breakthrough here.

"Is Brother Feng going to the seventh layer?"

Feng Haoyu's mouth twitched. He didn't know why Lin Chen would think so, but he soon understood that Lin Chen was afraid he didn't know the potential rules of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

Also, Lin Chen entered to help that Moon Soul clan princess obtain the Moon Soul clan's treasure. Before this, he feared he didn't have much understanding of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm. It is understandable that no one told him the potential rules of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

"No, it is to retreat from the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm."

Feng Haoyu didn't wait for Lin Chen to ask again and directly explained the potential rules of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

Lin Chen suddenly realized. He indeed didn't know this rule. Yin Yue didn't tell him, and he thought she probably didn't think he would use his physical body to hard-resist the pressure inside here, or she thought he was at the peak of the Third Stage of the Innate Realm and to break through again would be the Fourth Stage of the Innate Realm, which wasn't so easy to break through.

"Perhaps you might have a chance to go to this seventh layer. However, my suggestion is that since you have already adapted to the pressure of this sixth layer, you might as well break through here. It won't be too late to head to the seventh layer after your stage breaks through."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Feng."

Lin Chen nodded. Feng Haoyu didn't say anything more. Speaking deeply when the acquaintance is shallow has always been a taboo.

He only gave a suggestion; as for whether Lin Chen listens or not, that is Lin Chen's own business.

Feng Haoyu left very decisively. Lin Chen watched Feng Haoyu retreat from the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

For those who enter the secret realm, wanting to retreat is also very simple. Just head to the entrance of the secret realm on each layer. There is a teleportation array there. Stand on the teleportation array, and after ten breaths, you can be teleported out.

Up to now, he was the only one left in the entire Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

Feng Haoyu's departure did not affect his mood. He was still the same as before, continuing to walk in this sixth layer.

Now, although he can walk normally in the sixth layer, this is not enough; he must be able to reach the level of strolling leisurely to count.

The exit of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.

The moment Feng Haoyu came out, he felt that he was locked by several powerful auras for the first time, among which two auras also radiated obvious hostility.

"Are you a person of the Wind Breath clan?"

Just as Feng Haoyu landed, two old men appeared in front of him.

Seeing these two old men, Feng Haoyu frowned, but still spoke: "Feng Haoyu of the Wind Breath clan. Do the two of you have something to say?"
