Chapter 403: You Lost

Mo Sangyu chuckles lightly.

At first, when she saw Lin Chuan so confident, she really thought he had some special means.

Now it seems it's nothing more than that.

She easily won this gamble.

Mo Sangyu's real purpose in coming here was also for this Hong Lian.

Two years ago she sensed the aura of the Pure World Hong Lian, but the perception was not clear then; only today did she capture the trace of its growth.

"The Hong Lian still needs some time to fully mature; from now on we can only guard this place."

Mo Sangyu thought and began setting up a formation to block the aura.

Time passed.

Until the formation was completed, Lin Chuan's trace was still nowhere to be seen.

"Hm?"

Mo Sangyu, puzzled, "Where did that guy go? He didn't run away, did he?"

Then she thought again and felt it unlikely; Lin Chuan had come for her, and before the other's unspeakable goal is achieved, he absolutely could not run.

"That's not right."

At that moment, Mo Sangyu sensed the Pure World Hong Lian aura again, "Is this... another Hong Lian?"

Mo Sangyu was startled and did a quick mental calculation.

"On the twenty-ninth layer of the Demon Abyss?"

"Could it be..."

She rose at once, fled toward the twenty-ninth layer of the Demon Abyss; the Pure World Hong Lian aura had already dissipated, likely blocked.

But she sensed Lin Chuan's aura.

Also on the twenty-ninth layer of the Demon Abyss.

"Impossible!"

Mo Sangyu, incredulous, "He actually found it before me, and was already waiting there?"

Thinking in her heart, she descended to the twenty-ninth layer.

Mo Sangyu quickly saw the answer, saw Lin Chuan, sitting there with a beaming smile looking at her.

"You have come."

Lin Chuan, teasing, "I suppose I won this gamble, right?"

"On what basis?"

Mo Sangyu, dissatisfied, "I also found the Pure World Hong Lian; how can you prove you found it faster than I did?"

At a time like this, she definitely cannot be lenient.

Lin Chuan smiled, "Then let's say we found it at the same time."

"But..."

"I still won this gamble."

"Why?" Mo Sangyu frowned.

"It's simple; go take a look and you'll know."

Lin Chuan pointed toward the depths of his domain; Mo Sangyu entered, and soon saw two fully blooming Blood Lotuses, almost completely opened.

"Two?"

"Two Blood Lotuses growing in the same place should have a very strong aura; why couldn't even I sense it, yet he could?"

"What kind of Deity is this Lin Chuan, really?"

Mo Sangyu's doubts grew ever more.

Lin Chuan not only knows that she harbors a second personality in her body, but also knows the Pure World Hong Lian better than she does.

The magic of the Pure World Hong Lian is absolutely beyond the resistance of most cultivators.

Even cultivators who claim to follow the righteous Dao, if they obtain the Pure World Hong Lian's aid, would likely fall into the Demon Abyss without hesitation.

Lin Chuan, from start to finish, always displayed a nonchalant demeanor.

What exactly is his purpose?

Intense curiosity surged in Mo Sangyu's heart, impossible to dispel.

"Can you tell now?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Mo Sangyu nodded, "Her name is Mo Sangyu, but you know, knowing her name is useless, because she will never appear again."

No matter what Lin Chuan's purpose is, she will not let Mo Sangyu appear again.

She will not let this Darkness world bully her.

"She will appear, Sangyu." Lin Chuan remained indifferent.

"Think whatever you like."

Mo Sangyu was also too lazy to argue further.

The two, three zhang apart, were silent for a while; Mo Sangyu then proactively asked, "How do you intend to deal with these two Pure World Red Lotuses?"

"I'll give them to you."

Lin Chuan said, "This thing is useless for me."

He doesn't need it for now.

With his present strength, he is already invincible to legends; when facing stronger foes, relying solely on Hong Lian power would still find it hard to even out the disparity.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Mo Sangyu couldn't help but ask again.

"I'll tell you when you win next time."

Telling the other party now doesn't have much meaning.

"Fine."

Mo Sangyu inhaled deeply, "Consider this a favor I owe you; I'll definitely repay you later."

She needs the power of the Hong Lian of Purification to help her quickly boost her strength.

There are too many people who want to kill her.

Without enough strength, she cannot survive.

Lin Chuan teased, "Demon Cultivators have no friends, yet talk about favors? Does your favor even count?"

"It counts."

Mo Sangyu nodded, "I don't know how other Demon Cultivators act, but with me it definitely counts."

"Alright, I'll remember that."

That's the effect Lin Chuan wants.

"The two Hong Lian here will soon fully bloom; then the Hong Lian aura will be unmistakable, attracting a swarm of Demon Abyss spirits."

"We must prepare for a bloody battle."

Mo Sangyu has endured countless battles of all sizes in the Demon Abyss, countless times fighting to the death.

"Not friends, yet you dare to fight side by side with me?" Lin Chuan asked.

"At least our interests align now; backstabbing me brings you no benefit, so from a profit standpoint, you won't harm me."

Mo Sangyu returned to her cold indifference.

After speaking, she began setting up a formation.

Lin Chuan naturally knows a bit about the Dao of battle devices, but he didn't set one up; if he truly couldn't win, he'd just shake people off.

Even the Demon Abyss, when facing a behemoth like the Purple Star Emperor Sect, mostly retreats.

"Take your time setting it up; I'm going to cultivate."

These days Lin Chuan has been contemplating the One Qi transforms the Three Purities, immersively refining his soul to perfection; perhaps this is the chance for his soul power to strike the Legendary Realm.

After seeing Sangyu, his mindset also wavered slightly.

To him, this is an excellent opportunity.

If he misses it, he may have to wait a very long time.

In a deep cave within the territory, Lin Chuan laid a sealing formation, then entered the dream cultivation space.

【You have opened the dream cultivation space.】

【Your soul path has already lingered in Chuandao Sijing perfect for a long time; no matter how you refine, advancing further is barely possible.】

【But you don't dare to break through easily.】

【You pursue the ultimate breakthrough; after encountering the fated Mo Sangyu, your mindset changed, giving you the chance for a breakthrough.】

【After seven years of refinement, I finally seized that opportunity.】

【You have comprehended the Daoist supreme method, the marvelous gate of One Qi transforms the Three Purities; you decide to split your soul to complete the most crucial step of cultivating this supreme Daoist technique.】

【To pursue stability, you performed countless simulations.】

【It took a full ten years before you felt secure.】

【You have exited the dream cultivation space.】

In the cave, Lin Chuan opened his eyes, a clear aura spreading over his whole body, and he entered an exceedingly profound state.

"Now is the time!"

"It's time to break through!"
