Though the Little Profound Turtle can enhance its strength, it cannot affect Lin Chen's cultivation progress. In fact, if Lin Chen could exchange the collected Flame Crystal Stones for low-grade Spirit Crystals at this moment, he wouldn't allow the Little Profound Turtle to absorb the Starlight Power so recklessly.
After all, the Little Profound Turtle's frantic absorption of Starlight Power has caused the eleventh star map to dim, affecting Lin Chen's future replenishment, requiring a substantial amount of energy, which indirectly delays his process of lighting up the twelfth star map.
Anyway, Yang Flame Island is now occupied by Lin Chen, making it hard for others to set foot on the island, so even if the Flame Crystal Stones aren't collected in the short term, they won't be taken by others. Lin Chen has no urgent need to claim them all for himself.
Leaving these Flame Crystal Stones on the island is just the same as having them in his possession.
"Alright, then let's go out."
The Little Profound Turtle looked at Lin Chen and spoke calmly, feeling somewhat uneasy, as it had absorbed too much energy from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron this time. If the eleventh star map truly faded completely, Lin Chen certainly wouldn't let it off lightly.
Moreover, lighting up the eleventh star map brought such benefits to Lin Chen's cultivation; if they continue to light another star map, then the Starlight Power from the twelfth star map would bring even more advantages.
Thus, the thoughts of the Little Profound Turtle and Lin Chen were aligned, both eager to gather resources to light up the twelfth star map.
This directly relates to its bloodline improvement, making it crucial to help Lin Chen find opportunities and acquire resources.
Besides, having signed a master-servant contract with Lin Chen, the Little Profound Turtle naturally had to protect him as he ventured out into this perilous world.
In a world fraught with danger, if Lin Chen were to encounter misfortune, not only would it lose the opportunity to benefit from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, but it would also struggle to preserve its own life. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Recognizing the strength of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Little Profound Turtle was quite grateful to be subdued by Lin Chen, knowing that following him would bring growth far surpassing its previous solitary cultivation.
Before leaving, Lin Chen activated the sword array and defense array within Yang Flame Island, instantly manifesting an immensely strong killing intent over the island. Any ordinary martial artist approaching this island would surely be frightened away by this killing intent.
It's no joke; an island possessing such intense killing intent could even easily kill a martial artist at the Early Stage of Creation Realm. No ordinary person would dare approach.
Thus, after activating the arrays on the island, Lin Chen left with the Little Profound Turtle at ease.
After leaving the island, Lin Chen immediately began exploring the Tianliu Continent with the Little Profound Turtle, searching for opportunities.
Lin Chen was now much stronger than when he first entered the Tianliu Continent two months ago, no longer fearing this world as much, promptly operating the Abyssal Eye to perceive the situation within ten thousand miles of this world.
Lin Chen operated the Abyssal Eye, first observing the conditions within ten thousand miles, selecting a route before setting off, proceeding ten thousand miles and then continuing to operate, repeating this cycle.
It should be noted that operating the Abyssal Eye drastically consumed Spiritual Power and Soul Power, making it naturally impossible for Lin Chen to keep it running continuously.
Even operating it after traveling ten thousand miles was quite consuming for Lin Chen, and his speed of travel wasn't fast. After all, the oppressive force of this world was ten times that of the Mysterious Heaven Continent, suppressing Lin Chen's flying speed, allowing him to cover only thirty to forty thousand miles in an hour.
Undoubtedly, the Abyssal Eye's breakthrough to the Third Layer Realm proved extremely useful, allowing Lin Chen during its operation to perceive farther than the scope of spiritual sense, enabling him to detect others beforehand, while others couldn't detect Lin Chen.
Upon leaving Yang Flame Island, Lin Chen first arrived at a marshland. However, after four or five days of flying, crossing a distance nearly forty to fifty thousand miles, he still hadn't finished surveying the marshland, illustrating the vastness of the Tianliu Continent.
Within these four or five days, Lin Chen encountered numerous small and medium-sized islands in the marshlands, though inferior to Yang Flame Island, the resources on them were rather abundant.
After all, this Tianliu Continent might have gone undisturbed by external beings for hundreds of thousands of years, nurturing countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures with quality grades far beyond Lin Chen's imagination.
Along the way, Lin Chen amassed numerous resources, some islands already treaded upon, while others had yet to be explored.
Those untouched islands were guarded by powerful Magical Beasts, deterring other martial artists.
On islands that had been traversed, despite the abundance of resource collection marks, they weren't completely stripped, as the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures on the island were guarded by Magical Beasts varying in strength, clearly leaving only resources guarded by Earth Grade Magical Beasts collected.
While exploring these islands, Lin Chen encountered an extremely powerful Magical Beast possessing strength at the Creation Realm Second Level.
Yet, although this Magical Beast was formidable before Lin Chen, it crumbled before the Little Profound Turtle, whom Lin Chen instructed to take action, promptly slapping the beast to death, resulting in a gory demise.
This Magical Beast probably never imagined, even in death, the terrifying existence hidden within Lin Chen's seemingly frail body.
Witnessing the Little Profound Turtle instantaneously slaughter the Magical Beast, Lin Chen secretly marveled at the Little Profound Turtle's physique having grown to such a terrifying extent.
"Little Profound Turtle, could you show some restraint in the future? A slap that renders them so mangled makes it troublesome for me to collect, and the incomplete corpses aren't worth the best prices when sold later."
Lin Chen immediately complained to the Little Profound Turtle.
"Understood, I'll be more careful next time."
The Little Profound Turtle nodded obediently in response.
On the path of helping Lin Chen gather resources and amass wealth, it would naturally heed Lin Chen's guidance. After all, only by Lin Chen earning more, lighting those star maps in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, could it reap more benefits.
As Lin Chen wandered and explored the marshland, occasionally halting, hunting Magical Beasts and gathering resources, his resources grew increasingly abundant, with numerous treasures of value and rarity rivaling those of Flame Crystal Stones.
