### **Chapter 1491 — The Shared Dao**
Several days after returning to the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Yang Lin stood atop the highest cultivation peak—
The immortal wind drifting softly through the clouds—
Then he calmly looked toward Su Qinglan—
FeiFei—
And Han Qing—
"Come."
"We're going to the cultivation chamber."
The three women immediately became serious—
Because they understood what that meant—
Then Yang Lin continued—
"I'll share some of my cultivation insights and understanding."
"Let's see if all of you can break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm."
The moment those words appeared—
The three instantly became excited—
Because Heavenly Emperor Realm—
Was a realm they had dreamed about for years—

### **Chapter 1492 — The Cultivation Chamber**
Deep beneath the Heaven Cutter Sect—
Inside an enormous cultivation hall—
Ancient formation arrays illuminated the surroundings—
While dense immortal qi flowed like rivers—
Yang Lin sat calmly at the center—
Su Qinglan—
FeiFei—
And Han Qing sitting nearby—
Then—
Yang Lin began explaining Dao principles—
Sword Dao—
Space Dao—
Heavenly Laws—
Cultivation Foundations—
And countless understandings that surpassed ordinary cultivators completely—
The more they listened—
The more shocked they became—
Because Yang Lin's understanding was simply absurd—
As though he had already walked beyond countless realms long ago—
---
### **Chapter 1493 — The First Breakthrough**
Hours passed—
Then suddenly—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Several terrifying auras erupted simultaneously
—
The surrounding immortal qi began surging wildly—
Meanwhile—
Outside the cultivation chamber—
Daji—
Ning Mei—
Han Chen—
Xue Yao—
And Yue Bingxin all noticed immediately—
"Their auras are rising."
Han Chen looked stunned—
"They're breaking through?"
Before anyone could continue—
Another aura suddenly exploded—
Far stronger than the others—
Boom—
The heavens above the Heaven Cutter Sect shook violently—
Xue Yao's eyes widened slightly—
Yue Bingxin's pupils contracted—
Because the first person to break through—
Was Yang Lin himself—
---
### **Chapter 1494 — The Impossible Advancement**
Within the cultivation chamber—
Yang Lin calmly opened his eyes—
Heavenly Emperor Second Stage—
Achieved effortlessly—
As though the breakthrough required no effort whatsoever—
Meanwhile—
Outside—
Xue Yao finally frowned slightly—
"How is this possible?"
"He was teaching others."
"Yet he broke through first?"
Even Yue Bingxin looked confused—
Because such things made absolutely no sense—
Then Daji helplessly laughed—
"You'll get used to it."
"Yang Lin has always been like this."
Ning Mei immediately nodded—
"Every time we think something is impossible…"
"He does something even more impossible."
Han Chen sighed deeply—
"At this point…"
"I've stopped trying to understand him."
Even Han Qing's previous stories about Yang Lin suddenly sounded believable—
---
### **Chapter 1495 — Heavenly Emperor Realm**
Soon afterward—
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
Three more breakthroughs erupted—
Immortal qi flooded the heavens—
Su Qinglan—
FeiFei—
And Han Qing all successfully entered Heavenly Emperor Realm—
Then shortly afterward—
Their cultivation stabilized at Heavenly Emperor Second Stage—
The entire Heaven Cutter Sect erupted into celebration—
Because four Heavenly Emperor cultivators had appeared almost overnight—
The disciples could barely believe it—
---
### **Chapter 1496 — The Pavilion Courtyard**
Several days later—
Everything finally became peaceful again—
Meanwhile—
Inside Yang Lin's private pavilion courtyard—
Ancient spirit trees swayed softly beneath the immortal wind—
A quiet stream flowed nearby—
Creating a peaceful atmosphere—
Yang Lin sat comfortably on his bed—
Leaning against the headboard—
Reading a novel casually—
The cover happened to be pink—
Yet the story itself wasn't romance at all—
It was about a senior brother and junior sister traveling together across a cultivation star—
Experiencing adventures throughout the cultivation world—
Meanwhile—
Yang Lin wore a simple everyday robe—
Though he had put it on rather casually—
Leaving part of his upper chest and clearly defined abdominal muscles visible—
As though he hadn't bothered adjusting it properly while relaxing—
---
### **Chapter 1497 — The Unexpected Visitor**
Knock.
Knock.
A soft knock sounded from outside the courtyard pavilion door—
Yang Lin didn't even look up from his book—
"Come in."
The door slowly opened—
Then—
Xue Yao entered quietly—
In her hands was a tray carrying a steaming cup of Spirit Frost Tea—
The delicate fragrance immediately filled the room—
She originally intended only to deliver the tea—
Nothing more—
Yet the moment she stepped inside—
Her eyes instinctively shifted toward Yang Lin—
Then—
She froze slightly—
---
### **Chapter 1498 — The Misunderstanding**
Xue Yao's gaze landed on Yang Lin's robe—
Then the visible portion of his chest—
Then the clearly defined abdominal muscles visible beneath the partially adjusted robe—
For a brief moment—
Her mind completely stopped—
Then—
Her eyes immediately shifted away—
Her head tilting slightly downward—
A faint blush appearing across her face—
Not much—
Only a slight hint of color beneath her eyes—
Then—
Her gaze accidentally landed on the book cover—
Pink.
Very pink.
Xue Yao immediately misunderstood—
After several seconds—
She finally spoke in an unusually hesitant tone—
"You…"
"…have this kind of hobby as well?"
Then she quickly looked away again—
The faint blush becoming slightly more obvious—
---
### **Chapter 1499 — Yang Lin's Explanation**
Yang Lin blinked once—
Then looked at the novel cover—
Before immediately understanding the misunderstanding—
He calmly closed the book—
Then spoke—
"First."
"I wasn't reading a romance novel."
"This is a story about a senior brother and junior sister traveling through the cultivation world."
"Second."
"You came in before I had a chance to adjust my robe properly."
His tone remained completely calm—
As though neither situation bothered him in the slightest—
Meanwhile—
Xue Yao instantly realized she had misunderstood both things—
Which somehow made the situation even more awkward—
---
### **Chapter 1500 — The Rare Embarrassment Of Xue Yao**
Silence filled the pavilion briefly—
Then Xue Yao carefully placed the Spirit Frost Tea onto the nearby table—
Without looking directly at him—
She quietly said—
"I wasn't paying attention."
A brief pause followed—
Then she added softly—
"And... I misunderstood."
For perhaps the first time since joining the Heaven Cutter Sect—
The usually cold and composed Xue Yao actually appeared slightly embarrassed—
Meanwhile—
Yang Lin simply picked up the tea calmly—
Taking a sip—
As though nothing unusual had happened at all—
Which somehow only made Xue Yao feel even more awkward—
Outside—
The immortal wind continued drifting through the courtyard—
While the peaceful Heaven Cutter Sect remained unaware—
That one of the strongest beings in existence—
Had just experienced one of the most awkward moments of her life.
