Chapter 278

"Thank you for the praise, Senior!"

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude politely.

"Little friend, don't think that being a small genius in one region of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao is this seat hitting you."

The last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect guessed what Lin Chen was thinking from Lin Chen's expression and laughed: "The vastness of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao's territory is not something you can imagine; just one region is equivalent to dozens of your islands."

Island?

Lin Chen's pupils contracted; this was the first time he had heard a description of the Nine Kingdoms land.

So the Nine Kingdoms were on an island?

"Senior, can you tell this junior about the situation of this kingdom where this junior is and the outside world?"

"If you are willing to participate in the second test, this seat can tell you."

Lin Chen:...

He didn't know why this senior insisted on him participating in the second test.

"This seat will tell you the truth; although this seat is dead, there are still descendants in the Yan Yan Huang Chao. My Qingtian Sect is not a big sect in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, so it is very difficult to recruit true genius disciples; we can only choose to dig for those islands that have not yet been discovered. If you pass the second test, you will have the qualification to join the Qingtian Sect, and this seat has the merit of discovery, so the sect will also give rewards to this seat's descendants."

This time Lin Chen understood; what this senior was seeking was to seek welfare for his descendants, which could be considered a pitiful heart of an ancestor.

"Since Senior thinks highly of this junior, this junior is willing to try."

Hearing Lin Chen's answer, the last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect showed a smile on his face: "Refreshing; if you have any questions, feel free to ask; this seat will definitely resolve your doubts."

"May I ask Senior, the Martial Way of the Nine Kingdoms land has been prevalent for two thousand years; according to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao's regulations, it should not be interfered with within a thousand years, but now two thousand years have passed and no powerhouse from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao has come; why is this?"

"Because of the Annihilation Storm."

"Annihilation Storm?"

"The sea area where your island is located is in the eastern region of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao; there is an Annihilation Storm in the sea area, and the deeper you go, the more powerful the storm energy is, but the time the Annihilation Storm exists is not fixed; sometimes it appears once every thirty or fifty years, sometimes over a hundred years... and even more so, it spans a thousand years."

"So that's it." Lin Chen suddenly realized; looking at it this way, the people of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao hadn't come again because the Annihilation Storm happened to appear.

"Senior, is this Annihilation Storm very strong?"

"At least this seat has never heard of anyone who can pass through the Annihilation Storm; perhaps the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao has powerhouses of this level, but they won't come specifically for a certain island."

The words of the last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect made Lin Chen thoughtful; he understood the meaning of this sect master's words.

The Annihilation Storm is terrifying, but it's not that the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao doesn't have powerhouses who can cross the Annihilation Storm; it's just that for powerhouses of this level, there is no need.

Even if there really were powerhouses of this level, they couldn't be interested in martial artists on an island; at most, they would just pass by.

"Senior, if people from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao come to the island, what changes will it bring to the island?"

Lin Chen asked the question he cared about most; the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao was always a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Nine Kingdoms.

"You want to ask if the arrival of martial artists from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao will affect the division of kingdoms on the island, right?"

The last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect smiled and said: "The arrival of people from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao will inevitably change the pattern of the major forces on the island; specifically, it depends on which force's people come. What this seat knows is that the first batch of forces from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao that came here had a total of five, but later several batches came; these forces will inevitably look for families or even kingdoms that cultivate their Martial Way inheritance."

"As for what impact it will have on you, this seat can't guess, but if you have your own force, joining my Qingtian Sect is a way to break the situation; with the protection of the sect, no matter which force comes, they will give this sect some face."

"Thank you for the guidance, Senior; this junior understands."

Lin Chen nodded and then continued to ask: "May I ask Senior, what is going on with the Demon Tribe and the Devil Tribe?"

The Martial Way of the Nine Kingdoms is inherited from the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao; if the Demon Tribe and Devil Tribe existed before the Martial Way sect of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao arrived, logically speaking, the human race of the Nine Kingdoms would have long since ceased to exist.

"The Demon Tribe itself exists everywhere; as for the Devil Tribe..."

The last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect's expression became profound: "This seat also doesn't know the origin of the Devil Tribe; I only know that wherever there are humans, there will be the appearance of the Devil Tribe; even in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, the Devil Tribe is a major disaster."

"Little friend, this strand of Divine Soul of this seat cannot persist for too long; you should start the second round of testing."

"Fine."

Lin Chen nodded; the last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect raised his hand, and this time three beams of light fell from above his head, three beams of light of different colors, converging on Lin Chen.

The moment the three-colored beam of light shrouded Lin Chen, the scene in front of him suddenly twisted, turning into a blood-red battlefield. Between the broken limbs and blades floated countless translucent human figures, each face actually exactly the same as Lin Chen's, making seductive whispers.

"What kind of test is this?"

Looking at these transparent phantoms that were the same as him, suddenly pouncing ferociously, Lin Chen's spirit platform shook violently; these phantoms, like the thunder, were all directly attacking his own Divine Soul.

Every time these phantoms attacked, his head would have a stinging pain,

Although the impact of these phantoms on the spirit platform was far less than the thunder, he couldn't stand the large number of these phantoms; looking around, they were dense, rushing toward him from all directions.

It was like ten thousand ghosts attacking, and yet he had no way to deal with these phantoms.

A hundred breaths of time passed, and Lin Chen didn't know how many times he had been stabbed; his whole person started to become drowsy.

However, at this very moment, the door of the spirit platform opened automatically, and a piece of golden light spilled out, accompanied by an ice-blue dragon shadow that spilled out along with the golden light.

In an instant, Lin Chen woke up; looking inside his own spirit platform, he found a strange scene.

Under the illumination of the golden light, one could see red dots rushing toward his spirit platform one after another, but the ice-blue dragon shadow was like a guardian god, circling crazily in front of the spirit platform door, and wherever it passed, all the red dots were absorbed and swallowed. In the end, the ice-blue dragon shadow emitted a layer of red fluorescence all over its body.

Lin Chen didn't know how many red phantoms had passed through his body; anyway, he was numb until the dragon shadow suddenly stopped, and only then did he look around, only to find that the phantoms around were completely gone, and the surroundings were empty.

On the spirit platform, no more red dots appeared, and the dragon shadow suddenly flipped, and the dragon mouth spat out a red flame toward Lin Chen's golden little person.

As soon as the flame touched the Divine Soul, Lin Chen let out a heart-tearing roar.

This flame was not burning flesh and blood, but directly roasting the origin of the Divine Soul.

The golden little person was like gold thrown into a furnace, shaking violently in the flame.

The severe pain made Lin Chen's facial features twist like a demon, the veins on his forehead bulged like earthworms wriggling, and he didn't even notice his fingernails deeply piercing his palms.

Just as Lin Chen sensed that his golden little person was about to be burned and shattered, a green waterfall fell from the spirit platform, the crimson flame instantly turned into deep blue, the cracks on the golden little person healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the newborn golden light was several times more solid than before, flowing slowly on the body surface like liquid metal.

The moment the flame dissipated, the golden little person suddenly opened its eyes, actually causing Lin Chen's dantian Qi sea to surge, and the majestic Qi and blood automatically condensed into a vortex surrounding its body.

"Panel!"

Lin Chen called the panel for the first time; he had a vague guess in his heart.

【Host: Lin Chen】

【Realm: Organ Cultivation Stage Perfection】

【Nine Turns Organ Cultivation: 7/9】

【Spirit Rank: Third Rank】

Sure enough, the Spirit Rank level had increased by one rank again.

But before Lin Chen could finish looking at the panel, a sigh full of "resentment" sounded in his ear.

"Little friend, you are not kind."

Lin Chen raised his eyes and found that he had returned to the original place, and at this moment, the last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect looked at him with resentful eyes.

"Senior, what does this mean?"

"You have Canglan energy in your Divine Soul, so you have the qualification to enter the Canglan Sect; why didn't you say so just now?"

Lin Chen scratched his head upon hearing this: "Senior, this disciple feels that your sect is better and more suitable for me; I only have the qualification to participate in the Canglan Sect's disciple assessment, but I don't necessarily have to choose the Canglan Sect."

"You... little friend, why make such a joke?"

The last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect sighed lightly: "Little friend must have also obtained the Canglan Order, so you should know that once you get the Canglan Order's recognition, you can only choose to join the Canglan Sect, unless the Canglan Sect is willing to give up on little friend."

"This junior does know this rule, but when the time comes, if your sect's seniors go to communicate with the Canglan Sect, it should be fine."

Lin Chen had an innocent expression, but the last generation sect master of the Qingtian Sect hummed lightly: "Little friend, to tell you the truth, if it weren't for you being the winner of the Canglan Order, this seat would want to slap you to death right now."

"?"

"The Canglan Sect is a big sect of one region, while my Qingtian Sect is only a second-rate sect in one region; what do we have to compete with the Canglan Sect for disciples?"

Competing with the Canglan Sect for disciples?

That's not competing for disciples; that's competing to be destroyed.

"This junior really didn't know these things."

Lin Chen had a look of shame on his face; he had a preconceived idea, the True Person of the Canglan Sect left a legacy waiting for a fated person, and this sect master of the Qingtian Sect was also like this, making him subconsciously think that the Qingtian Sect and the Canglan Sect were equal in strength.

"This matter has already happened, so this seat won't pursue it; little friend, if you have the opportunity to go to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao in the future, I hope you will go to the Thousand-Forging City in the Thousand-Machine Region to take a look and see if the Zhu family is still there; this seat's name is Zhu Cangshan."

Hearing this, Lin Chen's expression also became serious: "If this junior can go to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, I will definitely go to the Thousand-Forging City."

Lin Chen understood the meaning of this senior; since he could no longer use himself to let the sect reward his descendants, he wanted to form a bond of incense with himself.

It seems that the Canglan Sect is even more powerful than he imagined.

Only if the Canglan Sect is powerful enough, and he has the qualification to participate in the Canglan Sect's entry assessment, will this senior feel that he has potential.

"My Qingtian Sect's Sect-Leading Order little friend cannot take; this seat will give little friend another big gift; take out that square seal in your bosom."

Square seal?

Lin Chen's pupils narrowed, and the next moment he took out the Martial Way Seal from his bosom.

Ever since he broke through to the Organ Cultivation Stage, he really hadn't paid attention to this Martial Way Seal anymore.

The Martial Way Mountain has a total of three steps, but to climb the second step requires 10 points, and his points are not enough yet.

"The forging method of this object comes from my Qingtian Sect; I imagine it was leaked out by some disciple when my Qingtian Sect disbanded, but the strength of the person who refined it wasn't enough, and it wasn't truly refined; this seat will refine this object for you today."

"Thank you, Senior."

Lin Chen responded happily; he hadn't expected this Martial Way Seal to be refined by the Qingtian Sect's secret method.
