Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2799 - 2798: Farewell and Pursuing a Breakthrough!

In that instant, Lin Dong experienced a never-before-felt vastness and ease flooding his heart.

This sensation arose not from outer comforts but from an inner profound realization, a deep grasp of self-understanding.

Lin Dong’s mental power had been stuck at the summit of the thirty-ninth rank for a long time, ensnared in thick mist, unable to spot the entrance to the fortieth rank.

This barrier wasn’t merely a power limit but a soul-binding chain, demanding a higher mental state to break free.

Before, he believed secluded meditation and devouring others’ spirits and souls were the sole paths to boost his spiritual realm, ignoring the boundless wisdom and truths hidden in the world’s countless forms.

Yet now, amid this tribal wedding, Lin Dong’s mindset underwent a silent shift.

He started to grasp that real power demands not just immense strength but a heart open to all, seeing through life’s events.

Once the wedding concluded, Lin Dong sensed his mental power teetering on the edge of breakthrough.

Thus, he told War God Hei Long, “Let’s bid them farewell; my mental power is about to break through.”

“I’ll seek a quiet spot for the breakthrough. You, protect me.”

War God Hei Long’s eyes gleamed upon hearing this, and he asked:

“War God Lin, what rank will your mental power reach?”

“Fortieth rank!” Lin Dong replied with a grin.

“What? Mental power at the fortieth rank!” War God Hei Long knew of such a feat only from legends.

He had never witnessed it in person.

“Let’s move.” Lin Dong refused to let the chance slip.

He chose not to breakthrough inside the tribe.

Mental power breakthrough could cause an overflow, drawing nearby powerhouses and demon beasts.

Lin Dong wished to avoid luring those threats to this remote tribe, disrupting their peaceful lives.

So, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long said their goodbyes.

Though the bride and her brother urged them to stay longer.

Lin Dong still waved and explained, “I have urgent matters now.”

“We might return in a few days to visit.”

“Alright, friends, we wish you success.” Though reluctant, knowing Lin Dong and War God Hei Long would come back...

They decided to honor their choice.

Before departing, Lin Dong gifted them plenty of items.

Such as herbs for healing illnesses.

Food seeds and body-boosting dan medicines like Resuscitating Pill...

These were kept in Lin Dong’s Dragon Ring Space. He gave them generously.

Everyone felt deep gratitude seeing this.

“Thank you so much; we have gifts for you too.”

“This is our divine tree; it strengthens our bodies greatly... We’ll give you ten.” The bride offered.

The ‘divine tree’ they gave Lin Dong was the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree!

This Millennium Encounter Spring Tree served as the key herb for ‘Deadwood Dan’ and offered more benefits.

For common folk, its leaves outdid ginseng, invigorating vitality, healing diseases, and prolonging life.

That’s why they called the Millennium Encounter Spring Tree the ‘Divine Tree.’

Lin Dong nodded in thanks, gesturing, “Thank you very much.”

He took the ten Millennium Encounter Spring Trees readily.

Then, Lin Dong and War God Hei Long departed.

Outside the tribe, with War God Hei Long by his side, Lin Dong picked a distant cave.

There, Lin Dong secluded himself to shatter his mental power bottleneck!

War God Hei Long stood guard.

In this serene night, fueled by his faint mindset shift, the once-impenetrable mental power barrier began to yield under an unseen push.

It felt delicate and mysterious, akin to winter’s first sunlight breaking clouds, illuminating the sleeping land, signaling renewal’s dawn.

“So, worldly experiences truly subtly propel realm advancement.”

Lin Dong pondered silently, a faint smile touching his lips.

He understood life as the ultimate forge.

Human emotions’ twists, life-death separations, joys and griefs—all hone and cleanse the soul, silently lifting the mental realm.

Beyond Heavenly Realm Martial Artists and fortieth-rank mental power, one must embrace these.

"No wonder numerous mighty experts delight in worldly pleasures... Truly, this serves as another avenue of cultivation." Lin Dong murmured to himself.

With this insight dawning, resolve sharpened further in his eyes before he shut them, plunging fully into shattering the mental power bottleneck.

Wedding attendance had kept them from slaying any demon beasts throughout the day.

As a result, the duo's demon beast tally hung completely still.

The massive screen outside kept refreshing every competitor's score live.

Lin Dong's name dominated the leaderboard as ever, though today his figures stood frozen, utterly still.

This strange halt rapidly seized public notice, fueling guesses about what fate had struck the frontrunner of the War God Competition since day one.

"Why hasn't Lin Dong's demon beast count budged? Did trouble find him?" Discussions erupted across battle zones, eyes blending curiosity with anxiety.

"Heavens, has calamity truly befallen him?" a voice fretted aloud, tone thick with dismay and pity for the youthful prodigy.

"Quite possible—else why the unchanged count?" Such views proliferated, tying Lin Dong's standstill to grave peril and birthing wild plots.

"A freak like him draws hatred from countless mighty powers." An elder declared gravely, eyes swirling with tangled feelings.

Without doubt, Lin Dong's ascent shook veteran powerhouses' standings, infringing on shadowy factions' stakes and marking him as prime quarry.

"Why enter the War God Competition for those under Secondary Ancestor first-tier? Scores seek his demise." The statement splashed into the serene pond, stirring waves.

Awareness dawned among fighters in diverse zones: this 'fair' contest brimmed with hidden perils.

"Maybe he's truly slain."

At the same time, within Dragon Country War Department, Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian fronted the War Machine, eyes fixed on the dimming distant skyline, brow furrowed deeply in unease.

As Lin Dong's Dragon Country War Department Heavenly Envoy and core member, he knew intimately the youth's promise, worth, and crucial role to Dragon Country plus the whole cultivation realm.

His pause in demon beast kills loomed like a dark cloud over Dugu Tian's mind.

"May my fears prove baseless." Dugu Tian breathed softly.

Concurrently, deep in Five Elements Land, Lin Dong's breakthrough hurtled toward its pivotal juncture.
