Chapter - 779 - Sands of Tribulation

Lind had wondered how it would feel to be on the cusp of Immortality.  He had always felt like he sort of missed the actual experience of preparing to progress as it was done in desperate situations or it just happened before he could process it!

The Soul Realm and Heaven Realm were exceptionally like that.  He simply became a Soul Realm by going through an internal thought problem about his lessons and suddenly had the Elemental Cores.  He had watched Illyria breakthrough and he was suddenly a Star Tier fighting to hold on long enough to pass along what he could grasp.

By the time things calmed down, he was tossed into a Law Binding hell and was a Moon Tier!

His advancement of the World Realm was under extreme pressure where his very life was on the line but at least he consciously made the choice to advance.  Still, most of his progress was good fortune and a lot of rough encounters.
