After bidding farewell to everyone, Lin Chen no longer lingered at the mountain top and immediately walked down along the bluestone staircase toward the foot of the mountain.
Lin Chen had given Zi Ling and the others many Flame Explosion Talismans for self-defense, so he wasn't worried about their safety in the short term.
But the only concern Lin Chen had was that if, by chance, Zi Ling found the Water of Life soon, she would undoubtedly give her all to fight for it. At that time, she wouldn't heed Lin Chen's words and would go all out to compete with others for the Water of Life.
Therefore, Lin Chen needed to return quickly to help Zi Ling.
As everyone watched Lin Chen leave, although they were very puzzled, they didn't dare to stop Lin Chen to ask. After all, they still remembered vividly the scene when Lin Chen used a Flame Explosion Talisman to blow up the defensive prohibition near the stone house at the foot of the mountain, and no one dared to provoke Lin Chen.
After leaving the mountain peak, Lin Chen immediately flew in the direction of Sunrise Flame Island.
After flying some distance, he suddenly noticed two figures emanating a strong aura of pressure from afar, approaching and fighting each other.
Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately activated the Abyssal Eye to look over there and saw that among the two, one was dressed in the attire of a disciple from the Yunlong Heavenly Palace; it seemed to be a disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
From the looks, this disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace bore some resemblance to Yun Kaige and Yun Feiyang.
After observing that person, a bright light flashed instantly in Lin Chen's mind.
It seems this person is the Ninth Prince, Yun Xinrui of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, also the foremost in the outer sect of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
The person battling Yun Xinrui at this moment, dressed in a black robe and with a cold expression, was immediately recognized by Lin Chen as the leading young Heavenly Pride of the Black Yan Hall, Bai Ze.
The strength both displayed at this moment was extremely terrifying, evenly matched, and it was hard to determine a winner for the time being.
Lin Chen knew very well that the combat capabilities of these two were entirely on a different level from his own; he feared he couldn't even withstand one move from them.
Therefore, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't collide directly with them and immediately took a detour.
As for Lin Chen, both Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze sensed his presence, but Lin Chen's mere cultivation at the Seventh Level of Nirvana Realm was not of any concern to them, so they paid no attention to him.
The two continued to move toward the direction of the mountain peak, still engaging in combat along the way.
Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown; the two heading toward the mountain peak, with their strength, could easily leave their names and rankings on that stone tablet.
Thus, with these two taking part in the trial, the danger in Spirit Treasure Canyon would inevitably increase. It was impossible for these guys not to be interested in such a wondrous thing as the Water of Life, and by then, Zi Ling's situation would become tricky.
Thinking so, Lin Chen immediately took out some Qiankun Escape Talismans and swiftly used them to escape toward Yang Flame Island.
Based on Lin Chen's current flying speed, it would probably take him more than half a month to return to Yang Flame Island.
By using the Great Qiankun Escape Talisman, however, he could return quickly, considering its teleportation distance could reach tens of thousands of miles.
It's just that the space on the Tianliu Continent was quite unstable, and Lin Chen wasn't sure whether using the Great Qiankun Escape Talisman would cause any mishap.
So, after some consideration, Lin Chen decided to use the medium-sized Qiankun Escape Talismans continuously and teleport back to Yang Flame Island.
Upon returning to Yang Flame Island, the first thing Lin Chen did was to immediately take out various materials for setting up formations.
During this time, Lin Chen had already gathered all the materials needed for setting up formations.
In less than a day, Lin Chen completed the teleportation array setup, as ample materials were available, and the array setup didn't take much time.
Once the array setup was completed, Lin Chen immediately activated it, teleporting himself back to the Mysterious Heaven Continent.
Upon returning to the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen immediately took out various Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from his main body, handing half of them over to the Second Soul Division.
This time entering the Tianliu Continent, Lin Chen had reaped a lot; even half of the materials given to the Second Soul Division still valued at five billion low-grade Spirit Crystals. Google seaʀᴄh NovelHub(.)net
After handing over half of the resources to the Second Soul Division, Lin Chen quickly entered the Descension Cave Mansion to prepare for a breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the Second Soul Division, having obtained the materials, took out materials worth nearly a billion low-grade Spirit Crystals and handed them to Zhao Lingxi.
Seeing the large handful of spatial rings before her, filled with countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, Zhao Lingxi promptly dashed into Lin Chen's arms, overjoyed to the point where she wished to "settle the score" with Lin Chen on the spot. She was genuinely too happy, especially since the one million low-grade Spirit Crystals Lin Chen gave her half a year ago had nearly run out maintaining the operation of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Initially, according to Zhao Lingxi's plan, that one million low-grade Spirit Crystals could sustain the Jade Cauldron Sect's operation for one or two years by regenerating wealth with wealth.
However, who would have thought the number of martial artists breaking through in various influential forces was enormous, consuming massive resources?
Now, the original forces of the Eastern Domain had virtually ceased to exist, leaving only the Jade Cauldron Sect.
This wasn't due to forceful incorporation by the Jade Cauldron Sect but because martial artists under various powers, after witnessing the treatment the Jade Cauldron Sect offered, began to have such thoughts.
In particular, over the past few years, all expenses and cultivation resources for several forces have been provided by the Jade Cauldron Sect, albeit for countering the Red Soul Hall, prompting the Jade Cauldron Sect's actions.
But in the minds of many martial artists, they had long regarded the Jade Cauldron Sect as their own sect.
Because over these years, the advancements of individuals and sects from various forces have far surpassed their former glory, something unimaginable in the past.
Thus, although the various forces haven't formally announced joining the Jade Cauldron Sect, in the hearts of many disciples of these forces, they had long considered themselves members of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
The moment the Jade Cauldron Sect gives a command, these disciples would probably join without hesitation.
After all, the treatment in the Jade Cauldron Sect was so excellent that it elevated everyone to unprecedented heights.
There was no choice; with the Jade Cauldron Sect's resource supply, paired with those cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, everyone's martial journey was filled with unprecedented hope.
In the past, everyone found it very difficult to break through to the Spirit Gathering Realm, but now, even the Nirvana Realm was no longer just a dream.
Even under Lin Chen's help, both Yan Yue and Tian Yizi broke through to the Creation Realm.
