Soon after, the ninth Enlightenment Gate was also breached by Lin Fan.
In the next moment, it was as if endless halos descended from the nine heavens, completely blessing Lin Fan.
Lin Fan’s entire being seemed sanctified, akin to a Nine Heavens Immortal.
Lin Fan also regained consciousness.
As Lin Fan came to, he discovered that his inner self had become immensely clear and tranquil.
Things that he couldn’t understand during his cultivation seemed to have become crystal clear in an instant.
Lin Fan felt that under these circumstances, even the most obscure and difficult Cultivation Techniques, once in his hands, could potentially be comprehended by him.
Lin Fan’s perceptiveness had reached an incredibly heaven-defying level.
Although the talents of Lin Fan’s Martial Soul were extremely terrifying, his progression had naturally been limited due to the previously unopened Enlightenment Gates.
Now, with all nine of Lin Fan’s Enlightenment Gates opened, his capacity for insight had grown far more formidable.
"My ability to comprehend now is perhaps second only to that under the true Bodhi Tree!" thought Lin Fan with some astonishment.
Lin Fan slowly stood up, and after feeling his own energy, his face revealed a renewed sense of surprise.
This time, Lin Fan’s combat strength had once again improved, reaching the peak of the Middle Period of the Heavenly Profound Realm.
It could even be said that, under the Late Period Martial Cultivators of the Heavenly Profound Realm, no one could match Lin Fan.
"Soon, my combat strength will be able to reach the Late Period of the Heavenly Profound Realm!" Lin Fan thought to himself again.
Zhang Shi approached Lin Fan, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he said nothing; at this moment, Zhang Shi’s heart was too excited to utter words.
"What’s wrong, Zhang Shi?"
Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
When Zhang Shi came back to his senses, he said: "You little brat, you’ve brought me such a huge surprise. To be honest, I thought you were nothing more than a waste before, but who would have thought that you could open the legendary ninth Enlightenment Gate?"
"It’s so surprising, I’m truly amazed, haha!"
Excitement was evident on Zhang Shi’s face.
Lin Fan smiled but did not speak.
Because under these circumstances, Lin Fan himself did not know what to say.
Suddenly, as if Zhang Shi had thought of something, he asked Lin Fan: "Have you entered the legendary Enlightenment World?"
"Enlightenment World?"
Lin Fan was taken aback, then nodded and said: "I don’t know if it was the Enlightenment World, but... after the ninth Enlightenment Gate was opened, it seemed as though I was connected to a special world!"
Zhang Shi became immensely excited again and said: "Lin Fan, that is the Enlightenment World, you must remember, take good care of your Enlightenment World. One day, a true Bodhi Holy Tree might grow from it!"
Lin Fan’s mouth gaped open.
To grow a true Bodhi Holy Tree from one’s Enlightenment World?
Others were completely dumbfounded!
Envious looks appeared on most people’s faces.
If one really grows a Bodhi Holy Tree in their Enlightenment World, who knows what they might become in the future?
Perhaps, they might even surpass the legendary Buddha Saint.
"If you’re willing, I can recommend you to enter the Royal Academy right now!" Zhang Shi said to Lin Fan, seriously.
"I can enter the Royal Academy directly now?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.
Zhang Shi nodded and said: "That’s right. You must understand, you’re a super genius who has opened the ninth Enlightenment Gate. If you can’t enter the Royal Academy, then nobody can!"
Here, Zhang Shi paused slightly before continuing: "If you do this, you might lose a lot, because if you enter the Royal Academy through challenges, the ultimate gains are enormous. However, if you enter the Royal Academy through my recommendation, you might lose out on these formative experiences. So, think carefully!"
Others looked enviously at Lin Fan once again.
To be recommended so easily into the Royal Academy? It was incredibly fortunate.
And Li Yuanbao at this moment harbored even more hatred for Lin Fan.
"Damn bastard! I will make your life a living hell!" Li Yuanbao’s eyes shone with hateful light.
Lin Fan stood quietly, not saying anything, simply contemplating quietly.
At this moment, Lin Fan was also incredibly conflicted.
If he chose to be recommended into the Royal Academy, he could soon enter it and perhaps start investigating his mother’s situation immediately.
If he chose to enter the Royal Academy through challenges, it would be delayed, and therefore so would searching for his mother.
After a while, Zhang Shi spoke again: "With your talent, even if you enter through assessments, you would definitely get into the Royal Academy. You don’t need to worry at all!"
Lin Fan wasn’t concerned about this.
Lin Fan had strong confidence in himself, believing he would surely be able to enter the Royal Academy.
The next moment, Lin Fan had made his decision: "Forget it, even if I could start looking into my mother’s situation by getting recommended into the Royal Academy, if I were to find out something and my strength is insufficient, I couldn’t do anything about it."
"For me now, strength is the most important."
"Therefore, the most crucial thing for me while trying to investigate my mother’s situation is to increase my own strength."
"This way, when I find news about my mother, if there are any special circumstances, as long as my strength is enough, I can change everything!"
At this moment, the only thought in Lin Fan’s heart was this, and a determined look appeared on his face.
Then, Lin Fan looked towards Zhang Shi.
Before Lin Fan could speak, Zhang Shi asked: "Have you made a decision?"
Lin Fan nodded and said: "Yes, I’ve made my decision."
Zhang Shi fell silent, quietly observing Lin Fan.
At this moment, Zhang Shi’s heart was also filled with curiosity; what decision would this guy make?
Others were similarly curious, all looking towards Lin Fan.
They were also very curious.
Lin Fan said: "I’ve decided that I will still enter the Royal Academy through the assessment."
Zhang Shi asked: "Are you sure about your decision? You know it can be very tough."
Lin Fan shook his head: "How could a cultivator fear hardship?"
