Chapter 421

Five days later.

Lin Chen entered the territory of the Wan Huozong.

The Canglan Region and the Wan Huo Region are adjacent, but there is a very obvious difference in landforms at the boundary between the two regions.

Volcanoes!

At the boundary between the Canglan Region and the Wan Huo Region, the Canglan Region side has lush grass and trees, but leaning toward the Wan Huo Region side, it is a piece of bare rock and scorched earth, with only a few stubborn shrubs growing sporadically, and no towering trees to be seen.

"Which junior brother from the sect is it?"

Just as Lin Chen arrived at the boundary riding the spirit sparrow, a voice came out.

Lin Chen controlled the spirit sparrow to descend and saw several innate martial artists below at a glance.

"Lin Lin Shidi?"

Before Lin Chen could speak, several young men saw Lin Chen's figure, and there was a look of surprise on their faces.

As disciples of the Canglan Sect, they had also been paying attention to the Mount Wudao matter during this period. After all, the one who wanted to challenge the winning streak to reach the top of Mount Wudao was a disciple of their Canglan Sect.

Lin Chen didn't know these young men. After they introduced themselves, he learned that these five were all sect deacons, but none of them were personal disciples; they were innate martial artists who broke through from inner disciples and finally promoted to deacons.

These innate martial artists promoted from inner disciples, even if their stage was higher than Lin Chen's, were very polite to Lin Chen, and there was even a faint sense of flattery.

These inner disciples knew very well that Lin Lin Shidi was only temporarily behind them in stage, and in time, he would inevitably surpass them.

Personal disciples all have the potential of the fourth or even fifth stage of the Innate Realm, and Lin Lin Shidi is even more so; he has the potential of the fifth or even sixth stage of the Innate Realm.

Potential new elders of the sect in the future are not people they can offend.

For them, if they don't have great opportunities in this life, don't look at the fact that they are already at the second stage of the Innate Realm; at most, they will break through to the third stage of the Innate Realm in this life, and wanting to break through again is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Just as Lin Chen was talking to these senior brothers, a middle-aged man also walked out from a nearby camp.

"Lin Lin Shixiong Wen!"

The five young men immediately bowed respectfully. Wen Yunting nodded, his gaze falling on Lin Chen: "Not bad, Junior Uncle Du has also received a good disciple."

Hearing this, Lin Chen knew that this person should also be from a personal disciple background.

Only personal disciples would call elders "Junior Uncle" or "Senior Uncle," meaning their master is also an elder. Like inner disciples, even if they break through to the Innate Realm and become deacons, they won't call elders Junior Uncle.

"Have met Lin Lin Shixiong Wen."

"I am in the same session as your eldest senior brother. We both entered the sect at the same time."

This message revealed by Wen Yunting also made Lin Chen immediately understand that this Lin Lin Shixiong Zhu should have a very good relationship with his eldest senior brother.

"Lin Lin Shidi, what are you doing here?"

As a martial artist at the fourth stage of the Innate Realm in the sect, he is responsible for guarding the boundary between the Canglan Region and the Wan Huo Region.

The Canglan Region and the Wan Huo Region are adjacent, but because of the special nature of the Wan Huozong, other sects are not interested in this piece of territory in the Wan Huo Region. Conversely, the Wan Huozong is also not interested in the Canglan Region. The two families have lived in peace for many years, which can be considered a rare sect that is adjacent but has no grievances.

However, the Wan Huozong is not just like this toward the Canglan Sect; it is the same toward the other three regions that are adjacent.

Because of this reason, the sect only arranged for him, a martial artist at the fourth stage of the Innate Realm, to sit in the boundary, while other boundaries, especially the boundary with the Bahuang Region, have two elders sitting in person all year round.

What Wen Yunting is puzzled about is that Lin Lin Shidi just reached the top of Mount Wudao; he shouldn't be staying in the sect, so why did he come here?

"Lin Lin Shixiong Wen, I took a sect task to go to the Wan Huozong to bring back a batch of fire-attribute innate energy for the sect."

Lin Chen simply explained the sect task. The sect and the Wan Huozong have always had trade dealings. Like the five-element energy his master prepared for him when he broke through to the Innate Realm earlier, the fire-attribute energy among them came from the Wan Huozong.

The Canglan Sect can naturally collect fire-attribute energy by itself, but it doesn't have the pure technology of the Wan Huozong. The fire-attribute energy collected by the Wan Huozong has a higher success rate for disciples to absorb and refine than what the Canglan Sect collects by itself.

It's not just the Canglan Sect; many sects have this kind of cooperation with sects in the Wan Huo Region. Because the territory of the Wan Huo Region is filled with innate fire and doesn't have many other resources, it relies on being far ahead in fire-attribute innate energy to trade with other regions for martial arts cultivation resources.

And with the status of the Canglan Sect, the cooperation naturally has to be with the Wan Huozong.

"How can this kind of task... Lin Lin Shixiong understands."

Wen Yunting was a bit puzzled at first, but immediately reacted.

The reward given by the sect for this kind of task is not high, and ordinary personal disciples don't look down on it. But thinking of Lin Lin Shidi just joining the sect and having to complete a sect task, he understood.

Lin Lin Shidi reached the top of Mount Wudao, and the sect will definitely give rewards. Before the second stage of the Innate Realm, he won't be short of cultivation resources, so there is no need to rely on sect tasks to obtain contribution points to exchange for resources needed for cultivation.

Under such circumstances, choosing a simple task to complete is the most appropriate.

Either go to a certain place to guard for a few months, but this kind of task is not always available; it depends on the scheduling of the disciples. I think it just happened that there was such a task to go to the Wan Huozong, so Lin Lin Shidi took it by the way.

After Lin Chen stayed at the boundary for half an hour, he said goodbye to Lin Lin Shixiong Wen and stepped into the territory of the Wan Huo Region.

"Don't look anymore. Lin Lin Shidi is destined to be different from you."

Wen Yunting watched the gazes of several junior brothers still staying on the firmament where Lin Lin Shidi left, shook his head slightly: "Even I don't dare to put on airs in front of Lin Lin Shidi. You must not rely on your stage being higher than Lin Lin Shidi to put on airs in front of him."

"Lin Lin Shixiong Wen, how could we do that?"

"Lin Lin Shixiong Wen, Lin Lin Shidi will catch up to us in stage in a few years. Unless our brains have problems, we will put on airs in front of Lin Lin Shidi."

Several disciples explained quickly. From seeing Lin Lin Shidi appear, their words were more of flattery.

Put on airs?

Only a fool would put on airs in front of Lin Lin Shidi.

Wen Yunting didn't say anything more. He just gave a reminder. Those who can cultivate to the Innate Realm are not stupid people.

Wan Huo Region.

When crossing the regional boundary line, Lin Chen could feel a clear increase in temperature, and even from the angle of overlooking from high altitude, he could see magma erupting from several volcanic craters.

The Wan Huo Region is not just one sect, the Wan Huozong; like the Canglan Region, there are also many sects and dynasties below, but Lin Chen didn't stop and headed straight for the Wan Huozong.

Four days later.

A huge stone tablet fell into Lin Chen's eyes.

This stone tablet is extremely special; it is carved from a towering dark red volcanic rock. The surface of the tablet is densely covered with holes formed after the magma cooled, and the red-gold magma veins flowing inside can be vaguely seen.

At the top of the giant tablet burns a never-extinguishing dark blue flame. The flame rises like a giant python coiling, burning the air until it twists and steams, emitting scorching heat waves.

Every few breaths, the dark blue flame will swallow the entire stone tablet, and the holes on the surface of the stone tablet will change again. After the flame dissipates, the holes form three large characters: Wan Huozong.

"Innate Glazed Pure Fire."

Seeing this blue flame, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. In the first part of the "Wan Huo Source Flow Spectrum" given to him by Elder Zhuang of the Wan Huozong, a kind of flame was recorded. This fire is relatively special; things burned by it will not be destroyed, but will wash away impurities.

In the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, this fire is extremely popular. Many martial artists practice body-tempering methods and will want to get this fire to temper their bodies. Even if they are not body-tempering martial artists, they can also use Glazed Pure Fire to temper.

A wisp of Glazed Pure Fire is enough to cause a scramble in the outside world, yet in the Wan Huozong, it is used as a mountain gate stone tablet.

As expected of the Wan Huozong, it is truly willful.

Lin Chen's eyes looked forward. The mountain gate of the entire Wan Huozong is completely different from the scorched earth he saw everywhere along the way. Vegetation can be seen everywhere, and even the temperature has dropped a lot.

Looking from afar, the firmament inside the Wan Huozong mountain gate is dyed into a red glow color, and under that red glow, golden-red magma falls like a waterfall, becoming the most magnificent background of the mountain gate.

Shocking!

The flame condenses into a waterfall. He doesn't know how far away he is, yet he can still see it. One can imagine how magnificent this flame waterfall must be.

The most critical thing is that even so, the entire Wan Huozong mountain gate is still lush with vegetation, and one cannot feel the high temperature of the flames.

As expected of the sect with the strongest manipulation of flames in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

Just as Lin Chen was sighing, two figures also roared over at this moment.

"Who is coming?"

Two innate martial artists landed in front of Lin Chen. After landing, when the two saw Lin Chen's face, there was a look of surprise in their eyes.

"Are you Lin Chen of the Canglan Sect?"

"It is indeed me."

A battle for the top of Mount Wudao, not to say that everyone in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao knows him, but at least among the younger generation, it can be said that no one doesn't know him.

"So it is Lin Lin Shidi. I don't know why Lin Lin Shidi came to our Wan Huozong?"

"I am ordered by the sect to come and collect the fire-attribute innate energy traded with your sect."

"Good, Lin Lin Shidi, please follow me."

The two innate martial artists of the Wan Huozong led Lin Chen into the sect first and arranged a place for him to stay.
