Chapter 413: Is This Not a Masterstroke?

Lin Chuan helplessly halted his steps.

You old kid, why are you so stubborn?

Do you have no sense about who Zhao Er is? Isn't it normal for a Demon Cultivator to be beaten to death?

"I have no obligation to tell you."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "If you truly wish to know, you may come to Tianjin Prefecture Myriad Symbol Pavilion to find me; as long as you are willing to pay the price, I will tell you the answer."

Having spoken, Lin Chuan left.

Yao Feng clenched his fists tightly, his breath surging, yet he still dared not forcibly keep Lin Chuan.

The other party is a prodigy of the Purple Star Emperor Sect.

That is a notorious protective faction; if he dares to move against Lin Chuan, it could very well drag down the entire Blazing Flame Sect.

"Myriad Symbol Pavilion? What kind of faction is that?"

Yao Feng could recite the names of all super and top‑tier factions backward, yet he had never heard of a faction called Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

In a place like Tianjin Prefecture, no faction can be considered top‑tier.

Such an extreme chaotic land forged highly unique rules; a faction seeking stable development would never take root there.

"But for Zhao Er, I must go take a look."

Yao Feng believed that someday he would see the other again; even if they could not become Dao Companions, they could meet, share a smile, melt past grievances, and bear no regret.

He did not expect that after that encounter would be a permanent farewell.

"After settling the sect's affairs, I will go to Tianjin Prefecture, as a reckoning for my past and a final send‑off for Zhao Er."

If he does nothing, Zhao Er will become his Heart Demon completely.

……

On the other side, after leaving the Blazing Flame Sect, Lin Chuan did not head straight for Heavenly Fire Prefecture.

In his perception, Heavenly Fire Prefecture also harbors a Pure World Hong Lian, hidden within a volcano near the Blazing Flame Sect, unnoticed by cultivators.

Because that volcano is overly dangerous, it burns with law flame inside.

Thus the Pure World Hong Lian is an extremely rare heavenly treasure, even part of the cosmic rules, allowing it to bloom in any environment, covering every corner of the world.

"If it weren't me, ordinary people would truly never discover it."

The Pure World Hong Lian inside the volcano has long matured, yet receives no blood‑Qi nourishment, starving the seedlings.

Lin Chuan stepped onto the volcano.

Erupting magma surged toward the Heavenly Dome, then turned into fire rain and falling meteors, so that no faction dared to station within the surrounding area.

Only some cultivators practicing the Great Path of Fire, seeking to comprehend the Dao principle, recklessly venture here; countless skeletons lie buried, turned to ash.

Lin Chuan had to proceed with utmost caution.

After walking for a while, he felt his mouth dry, tongue parched, sweating profusely, as if his body were melting.

Every spark of flame here, each stream of magma, is the fire law from the world's inception, requiring constant activation of spiritual power to resist.

Even so, a slight slip leads to complete incineration.

"" Hmm?

At that moment, Lin Chuan felt a surge of fresh energy flow into his body.

The discomfort brought by the fire law vanished instantly.

Lü Ya had undoubtedly evolved again.

She became increasingly sentient, and her assistance grew ever greater.

With Lü Ya's help, Lin Chuan's subsequent path became much clearer, and he soon reached the volcano's entrance.

The crater continued to erupt incessantly.

Terrifying law flames surged wave after wave, endlessly.

All these years, the endless volcano of Heavenly Fire Prefecture has nurtured countless heavenly treasures, yet few have obtained them.

"Too perilous."

Lin Chuan mused, "If an ordinary Void‑God realm powerhouse were hit head‑on, they'd likely not die but shed their skin at least."

Danger is exactly what he wants.

That's the effect he seeks.

Anyway, for him it's not truly dangerous.

When he hands the Pure World Fire Lotus to Sangyu, won't Sangyu's gentle nature be moved to tears?

"Burial Spirit Domain, Cross the Beyond."

Thinking this, Lin Chuan performed a spatial leap and arrived inside the volcano.

His 'Cross the Beyond' can communicate with the netherworld, a uniquely special spatial teleportation that no law can resist, and it is his most proficient technique.

Stepping into the volcano's interior felt like entering another world; scorching breath assaulted him, the surrounding rock walls glowed crimson, and the whole volcano resembled a massive furnace.

Here, the pressure to endure far exceeds that outside the volcano.

Lin Chuan stood at the edge of the rock wall.

Looking down, the churning magma resembled a pot of boiling molten iron, bubbling and rolling, emitting a gurgling sound; at times it rose in waves several meters high, roaring angrily.

"The Pure World Hong Lian actually grows beneath magma? No wonder no one discovers it, no one dares to take it."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment and summoned his second True Origin.

In this situation, he must use the second True Origin's Sword of All Beings to carve a path; only such a sword can block the surging law.

"Sword, come."

The second True Origin let out a light shout, forcibly opening a road through the magma.

Lin Chuan again used 'Cross the Beyond' to reach the Pure World Hong Lian, plucked it in one hand; only he could harvest the Hong Lian this way.

Even Sangyu, to pluck the Hong Lian, must first tame it.

However, this life's Lin Chuan does not rely on the Hong Lian's power; he has already comprehended a higher path of Reincarnation, no longer needs to borrow the might of heaven and earth, and it should be the world that borrows his might.

Having obtained the Hong Lian, Lin Chuan again performs the Crossing to the Other Shore, arriving beyond the Endless Volcano.

"This won't do; even the clothes aren't dirty."

After thinking, Lin Chuan attached a bit of flame to himself, burning several holes of various sizes in his clothes, making himself look grimy, then activated the flying boat and leisurely headed toward Tianjin Prefecture.

……

Tianjin Prefecture.

Mo Sangyu found a training ground, and after subduing all the faction leaders there, successfully founded a faction called Myriad Symbol Pavilion.

"I don't even know why Lin Chuan founded this faction?"

Managing a faction and the like is an extremely troublesome matter.

If it were her, she would never do such thankless work, unless it were necessary to confront another faction, forced to do so.

Otherwise, one can wander alone, carefree and free.

"Pah! Why am I thinking so much about what he wants to do? It's none of my business."

Mo Sangyu silently vowed in her heart, "I owe him two favors; this counts as repaying one. After I settle the remaining favor, I will leave immediately, never staying longer."

Continuing to stay by this man's side would not only affect Sangyu, but also alter her own personality a bit.

That is something she absolutely cannot accept.

"Human nature ultimately heads toward evil."

Mo Sangyu murmured softly; after experiencing countless Darkness, she has firmly believed this path.

Even though Lin Chuan is fine now, appearing fine, he will inevitably change.

Just as she was thinking, Mo Sangyu sensed a presence descending outside Myriad Symbol Pavilion, instantly calming her thoughts and restoring her indifference.

"Finally back."
