finally, he let out a sharp cry, and the terrifying energy caused the immense pressure around him to ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it lasted only three breaths before the aura vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu opened his eyes, a trace of helplessness on his face; two years had taken him from the early stage of Primordial Fourth Stage to the middle stage—a pace not slow at all—but he hadn’t expected that as his strength grew, the pressure of the sixth level didn’t lessen, but intensified, becoming even harder to bear than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he could no longer remain in the sixth level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the Entropy Clan, his father had warned him that once his cultivation broke through inside the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm, he could no longer stay within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm increased its pressure in response to the cultivator’s rising realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally been able to remain in the sixth level with his Primordial Fourth Stage strength, but now he could no longer do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm, the only way to continue staying inside after strengthening is to endure the realm’s pressure purely through one’s physical body from the very beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those who withstand the pressure solely through their physical body will find the realm does not increase pressure upon their cultivation breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As to why the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm had such a rule, Feng Haoyu did not know, nor did his father; only the clan chief and elders of the Entropy Clan understood this secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years inside the sixth level equals four months outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In four months, breaking from the early stage to the middle stage of Primordial Fourth Stage was no slow pace—it saved over four years of time; logically, he should be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, without comparison, Feng Haoyu was very satisfied with his gains in the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm; in fact, before entering, his own goal had been to break into the middle stage, and now he had achieved it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he saw Lin Chen still walking solely through physical strength, Feng Haoyu’s expression grew complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had witnessed Lin Chen’s journey—from every step requiring agonized roars, to now walking normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over five years, Lin Chen had not cultivated at all; when his body was shattered by the sixth level’s pressure, he would stop and activate some cultivation technique to heal, then resume walking once restored… repeating this cycle endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu knew clearly that Lin Chen must possess an extremely powerful body-refining technique, one that allowed his injuries to heal rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even with such unyielding willpower, his body would never permit such relentless repetition for five years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a genius of the Windbreath Clan, having reached Primordial Fourth Stage by age thirty, Feng Haoyu carried his own pride; even facing geniuses of the Four Great Upper Clans, he never believed himself inferior, and rarely acknowledged others as his equal among peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now Feng Haoyu had to admit—he deeply admired Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the time flow within the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm was vastly slower than the outside world, that difference could only be felt upon returning outside; those inside the realm perceived no temporal discrepancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five years…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he possessed Lin Chen’s body-refining technique, he might not dare to do this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he dared, he might not be able to endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder someone from the barren lands of martial cultivation could earn the title of prodigy in the Yan Imperial Court within just two years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu murmured; Lin Chen’s ascent to the top of Mount Dengwudao hadn’t drawn his attention, but when the Yan Imperial Court unveiled the Sky-Piercing Tower and Lin Chen claimed its first rank, Feng Haoyu had heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because he knew of this, he investigated Lin Chen, learning his origins and the reputation he had carved in martial cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A commoner martial artist—even after joining Canglan Sect—reaching this point was no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Feng Haoyu understood clearly: why had Lin Chen achieved such greatness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such unbreakable willpower was exceedingly rare!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu left his spot, and after a few minutes, he saw Lin Chen still walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Feng Haoyu had voluntarily greeted Lin Chen—and he addressed him as “Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked up at Feng Haoyu; five years of walking, the first three spent in agony, the last two allowing him to resist the pressure purely through his body—yet those three years had granted him exquisite control over his body, and the past two years had kept him in a mysterious state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The human body is a treasure; he vaguely felt he had touched something, but the final step remained just out of reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Feng, do you need something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m leaving the Secret Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Chen paused, then carefully studied Feng Haoyu; sensing the increased power in his aura, he realized Feng Haoyu had broken through here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Feng is going to the seventh level?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu’s lips twitched; he didn’t know how Lin Chen came to think that, but quickly understood—Lin Chen likely didn’t know the hidden rule of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course; Lin Chen entered to help the Moonphase Clan princess retrieve her clan’s treasure, and before this, he probably knew little of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm. No one informing him of its hidden rule was understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m exiting the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu didn’t wait for Lin Chen to ask again; he directly explained the hidden rule of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen understood—he truly hadn’t known this rule; Yin Yue hadn’t told him, likely because she didn’t think he’d endure the pressure purely through his body, or assumed that at the peak of Primordial Third Stage, breaking into Primordial Fourth Stage wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps you might have a chance to reach the seventh level, but my advice is: since you’ve already adapted to the sixth level’s pressure, why not break through here? After your realm advances, then proceed to the seventh level—it won’t be too late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for the advice, Brother Feng.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded; Feng Haoyu said no more—deep talk with shallow acquaintance was always taboo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had merely offered advice; whether Lin Chen followed it was his own choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu departed cleanly; Lin Chen watched him exit the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those entering the realm, exiting was simple: go to the entrance of any level, where a teleportation array waited; stand upon it, and after ten breaths, you’d be transported out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Lin Chen was the only one left in the entire Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Haoyu’s departure didn’t affect his mood; he continued walking the sixth level as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, though he could walk normally in the sixth level, it wasn’t enough—he needed to reach the point of strolling as if in his own courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exit of the Thousand-Fold Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant Feng Haoyu emerged, he felt several powerful auras lock onto him immediately, two of them radiating clear hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you from the Windbreath Clan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Feng Haoyu landed, two elders appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two elders, Feng Haoyu frowned, but still spoke: “I am Feng Haoyu of the Windbreath Clan. What do you two want?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-19T20:25:58.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5e4fffd14d4c015131442b97e550e8493114bbc1d7aee41dbe937d8d6063bee0","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-547","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-545",591,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-cover.jpg"]
