Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2847 - 2846: Searching for Origin Power!

An unmeasured amount of time elapsed. When Lin Dong’s consciousness returned, an even more incandescent light began to gleam within his eyes.

He rose, sensing the potent force coursing through his being, and the edges of his lips inevitably curled into a visage of deep satisfaction.

"Finally, I have achieved a breakthrough to the Peak of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven!" Lin Dong breathed out the words, his voice resonating with pure elation and joy.

He fully comprehended that this advancement signified not merely an increment in his formidable strength, but also granted him the capacity to venture further, drawing significantly nearer to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven.

Concurrently, it bestowed upon him a measure of augmented confidence for the subsequent phase of his grand undertaking.

"The Law of Heaven and Earth... I am genuinely anticipating this. I wonder about the profound strength my Law of Heaven and Earth shall possess..." As Lin Dong contemplated the prospect of wielding his own Law of Heaven and Earth upon reaching the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven, an undeniable sense of eager anticipation began to blossom within him.

"But prior to that momentous occasion, I must diligently seek out the Origin Power."

"After all, the transition from the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Peak to the breakthrough into the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven hinges entirely upon this Origin Power."

"With its assistance, a breakthrough could potentially be measured in mere days, or perhaps even hours."

"However, without it, the time required would undeniably be counted in years, at the very least!"

Lin Dong was acutely aware of the pressing constraints of time. An overwhelming multitude of objectives awaited his attention; he was compelled to augment his might with the utmost alacrity.

Within Lin Dong’s comprehension of the world, each successive advancement in Realm signified a deeper stratum of insight and mastery over the immutable Laws of Heaven and Earth.

At this precise juncture, he stood poised at the precipice of the Heavenly Realm Second Layer Heaven Peak, the Qi coursing through his Dantian roaring like a tempestuous river, his presence exuding an aura of boundless immensity.

The transition from the Late Stage to the Peak had precipitated a significant escalation in the volume of his Inner Qi.

Currently, the sheer quantity of Inner Qi residing within the core of his Dantian was already on par with that of Martial Artists at the Heavenly Realm Fourth Layer Heaven.

Even in the absence of the Deadwood Dan, a direct confrontation against a Martial Artist of the Heavenly Realm Fourth Layer Heaven might not necessarily result in his defeat.

"Nevertheless, I must endeavor to break through to the Heavenly Realm Third Layer Heaven with all haste."

"Once I secure that Origin Power, success will be achieved in a single, decisive move..."

Imbued with this conviction, Lin Dong promptly immersed himself in the arduous quest for the Origin Power.

This particular region, despite its seemingly diminutive appearance, harbored within its depths an untold realm of mysteries and unforeseen wonders.

Lin Dong had already meticulously scoured this terrain on multiple occasions; each step he took was imbued with a flicker of hope, yet every exhaustive search concluded in naught but profound disappointment.

His gaze, as piercing as that of a predatory hawk, probed past every verdant leaf and every minuscule grain of dust, diligently seeking any faint whisper of a presence that might belong to the Origin Power.

Yet, the Origin Power remained as elusive as the most cunning quarry imaginable, concealing itself entirely without leaving the slightest vestige, condemning Lin Dong to return empty-handed.

"Origin Power, where indeed have you concealed yourself?" Lin Dong mused in the solitude of his thoughts, a subtle, almost imperceptible furrow of bewilderment creasing his brow.

He possessed a profound understanding that for any Martial artist, the Origin Power represented the indispensable key to ascending one's Realm and attaining enlightenment of the profound Laws.

Such a potent allure was more than sufficient to drive any devoted Martial artist to the brink of obsession.

Lin Dong, naturally, was not exempt from this powerful yearning.

Unwilling to relinquish his pursuit, Lin Dong resolved to employ his most cherished and invaluable artifact—the Five Elements Origin Heart.

This extraordinary treasure, meticulously imbued with the distilled essence of the Five Elements Laws, had been a gracious bestowal from the Five Elements Stele and served as his sole key to breaching the formidable Forbidden Array within this locale.

He harbored a strong suspicion that this Five Elements Origin Heart might possess an intrinsic connection to the Origin Power residing in this very area.

It was even conceivable that the Five Elements Origin Heart could act as a conduit to locate the Origin Power of this region.

At this moment, Lin Dong closed his eyes and drew in a deep, steadying breath, fully immersing his consciousness into the core of the Five Elements Origin Heart, attempting to harness its inherent power to discern the true whereabouts of the Origin Power.

Under Lin Dong’s deliberate guidance, the Five Elements Origin Heart began to emanate a gentle, subtle luminescence. Wherever this ethereal light extended its reach, all surrounding elements appeared to awaken with a vibrant semblance of life, swaying softly, as if whispering tales of ancient and arcane secrets.

However, even in the face of such a potent display of power, the Origin Power persisted in its elusive nature, much like a nimble rabbit darting between countless burrows, rendering it utterly beyond his grasp.

Lin Dong’s mind drifted and explored in tandem with the ethereal flow of the illuminating light, yet he remained incapable of pinpointing that elusive wisp of mysterious energy.

"What profound secret does this Origin Power guard so closely? What form does it truly manifest in? How is it possible for me to uncover its location?" Lin Dong’s inner being was suffused with an overwhelming sense of doubt and profound perplexity.

The various descriptions Tian Sha had once shared about the Origin Power came to mind: it could manifest as an inconspicuous weed, an utterly ordinary stone nestled amongst rubble, or even a Demon Beast that appeared completely unremarkable...

The Form of the Origin Power was ever-changing, leaving no trace. Discovering it here was akin to searching for a needle in a vast ocean.

Lin Dong could distinctly sense the Origin resided within this very District, yet for some reason, he remained unable to pinpoint its location.

This situation gnawed at him, causing significant distress.

Delving into deep contemplation, Lin Dong began to alter his perspective. He imagined himself as a fragment of Origin Power, contemplating what hiding strategy he would employ and what form he would adopt to elude pursuers.

Through this mental exercise, he felt as though he brushed against a subtle, underlying pattern—a form of existence that transcended mere matter and shape, the most fundamental power connecting Heaven and Earth.

"Could it have disguised itself as a blade of grass, concealed within the dense foliage?" Lin Dong mused internally.

Following this thought, he utilized his Mental Power to meticulously examine each individual blade of grass.

Nevertheless, after an extended period of searching, no trace of the Origin was found.

"Could it have taken the appearance of a stone?"

Lin Dong shifted his focus to a renewed search.

Still, he discovered no particularly unusual stones.

His gaze, sharp as a hawk's, swept across every inch of the ancient-seeming secret realm, which was shrouded in an aura of antiquity.

Internally, he pondered with great intensity: "Where precisely are you? Origin Power, in which hidden corner of this secret realm have you concealed yourself?"

Just as he was lost in thought, his patience nearing its absolute limit from the seemingly endless search, a familiar voice, laced with a note of surprise, pierced the surrounding silence.

"Brother Lin!" The voice conveyed both astonishment and genuine warmth.

Lin Dong's head snapped around. He saw Tian Sha approaching from a moderate distance, his signature smile gracing his features. Within this smile, there was the evident joy of a reunion, yet it also seemed to cloak an indefinable profundity.

Lin Dong's heart fluttered as he inquired, "You too managed to escape that chaotic expanse? That was truly no simple feat."

Upon hearing this, Tian Sha's smile widened considerably. He nodded and responded, "Indeed, but compared to Brother Lin, I am still somewhat inferior. I presume Brother Lin must have broken free long before I did, correct? Truly commendable, truly!"

"You see, that chaotic space was a peculiar Domain, ingeniously constructed from the 'Water Origin' power belonging to the Origin Power itself. It was replete with incessantly shifting Space Traps. With every single step taken, one would find themselves ensnared within its confines. Unless one navigated each movement with absolute flawlessness, escape was simply impossible."

"Yet, Brother Lin managed it. It is simply beyond comprehension!"

While his tone held a degree of flattery, a subtle, probing undercurrent was discernable.

Lin Dong let out a soft chuckle, waving a dismissive hand. "Not at all, not at all. I only emerged a short while ago myself; it was purely a matter of good fortune."

His words were seasoned with humility, yet a flicker of barely perceptible wariness danced within his eyes.

Tian Sha's gaze suddenly deepened. With a smile that was not quite a smile, he continued,

"Oh? Is that so? However, I cannot shake the feeling that Brother Lin emerged considerably earlier than I did, and moreover... that you have harvested significant gains within this secret realm. After all, in a place such as this, Heavenly and Earthly treasures should be beyond count, yet along my entire path here, I did not encounter a single Heavenly Material or earthly treasure exceeding five hundred years of age. I suppose Brother Lin must have claimed them before me, am I right?"

Tian Sha's words were delivered with a semblance of jest, but Lin Dong keenly perceived the sharp edge concealed within them.

A slight frown creased his brow, his gaze drifting up and down the figure of Tian Sha before him, as an inexplicable premonition began to stir within his heart.

The Tian Sha standing before him still wore that familiar smile, yet behind its facade, there seemed to lurk an unknown secret, or perhaps an indescribable transformation had taken place.

Lin Dong silently heightened his vigilance, yet his outward demeanor remained unchanged. He simply replied in a neutral tone,

"Brother Tian, you jest. This secret realm is vastly larger than even our imaginations can grasp; perhaps those Heavenly and Earthly treasures still await discovery elsewhere. As for myself, I have been fortunate enough to avoid any perilous encounters—there is truly nothing I can classify as a harvest."

Nevertheless, within the confines of his mind, Lin Dong was already silently on high alert. He held a persistent feeling that the Tian Sha before him was somehow altered from his previous self, though he could not yet articulate precisely what felt amiss.

This burgeoning doubt, like an ominous cloud, settled quietly upon his heart, urging him to exercise even greater caution regarding what lay ahead.
