Chapter 445: The Action of a Wanxiang Realm Powerhouse

The next day.

Ceng Xi came to bid farewell to Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, I am returning to the Qianji Region with the elder."

"Brother Ceng is leaving so soon? Why not stay in the Canglan Region for a few more days, so that the two of us can continue to spar and improve together in terms of the soul."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ceng Xi was silent.

After a few breaths, he opened his mouth: "Brother Lin, I don't have masochistic tendencies."

Although he really didn't want to admit it, Ceng Xi had to admit that the gap in the soul between him and Lin Chen had widened.

Sparring with Lin Chen again would only be looking for abuse.

"If Brother Lin has time in the future, you might as well come to my Qianji Sect as a guest."

"Good, when I have free time, I will definitely visit the Qianji Sect to see Brother Ceng."

Lin Chen nodded and agreed. Ceng Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally said what was in his heart: "Although I know that now that the Canglan Sect and the Bahuang Sect are at war, Brother Lin should stay in the Canglan Region, but it is best to go to our Qianji Sect as soon as possible. Brother Lin, your soul seems to have quite a few hidden dangers."

"Brother Ceng, what do you mean by this?"

"Brother Lin, don't ask anymore. All I can say is, don't let your soul surpass your own realm too much."

Ceng Xi waved his hand. He could only reveal this much to Lin Chen. If Lin Chen wanted to know more, he could only go to the Qianji Sect and ask the sect elders for advice.

There were some things he only knew half-heartedly and couldn't solve Lin Chen's doubts.

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ceng."

Lin Chen nodded. With 【Racing Against Time】 existing, his martial cultivation path shouldn't go wrong, but Ceng Xi's warning was also well-intentioned, and he had to accept this favor.

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Chen personally sent Ceng Xi and Bai Qihua away from the Canglan Sect. However, after sending Ceng Xi away, Lin Chen didn't return to his courtyard, but instead went to visit Mu Jun and others.

Facing Lin Chen's arrival, Mu Jun and others didn't have good faces.

Originally, the change in the Canglan Secret Realm was just a matter between the Blood Moon Sect and the Canglan Sect. It was Lin Chen who dragged them into it, making them face a life-and-death crisis.

"Brother Mu, in the Canglan Secret Realm, I offended you and made Brother Mu fall into danger. Coming here this time is to apologize to Brother Mu."

Lin Chen lowered his posture, which made Mu Jun, who originally had a belly full of resentment, have his anger dissipate by half.

Not having resentment was impossible.

But he could also understand the reason why Lin Chen did this. If it were him, he would have made the same choice at that time.

Most importantly, he had seen Lin Chen's strength. Although everyone was a genius of various sects, Mu Jun had to admit that there was still a gap between him and Lin Chen.

In the Yan Huang Chao, strength is respected!

Like this heaven-gifted one, even if he didn't come to apologize to himself, he couldn't do anything to Lin Chen. Even if the matter spread, no one would blame Lin Chen for anything.

If you want to blame, blame their strength for not being as good as Lin Chen's, so they were threatened by Lin Chen.

Finally, Mu Jun accepted Lin Chen's apology, talked for a while, and personally sent Lin Chen away.

"How is it? Weren't you full of resentment toward this Lin Chen just now?"

After Lin Chen left, the old man behind him walked out of the room. Mu Jun gave a bitter smile: "Elder, Lin Chen made such a move, Disciple really can't feel resentment toward him, and even... even..."

"Even a bit flattered."

The old man stroked his beard and took over Mu Jun's words. Mu Jun was silent for a moment: "There really is this feeling."

"People are all like this. The apology of someone inferior to you won't be taken to heart, but the apology of someone above you will make you remember it."

After the old man finished this sentence, there was essence in his old eyes: "Such talent and not arrogant. If it weren't for the war between the Bahuang Sect and the Canglan Sect, if it were in a peaceful period, this child's future would be limitless."

In peaceful times, no one would target the heaven-gifted disciples of super sects, and Lin Chen could grow up all the way.

But now that the Bahuang Sect and the Canglan Sect are at war, a heaven-gifted one like Lin Chen is the target the Bahuang Sect wants to strangle. Whether he can avoid the Bahuang Sect's strangulation and grow up is still unknown.

This Blood Moon Sect conspiracy very likely had the shadow of the Bahuang Sect.

"We should also leave. This trip to the Canglan Secret Realm is also a test for you, letting you know what is called 'there is heaven beyond heaven, and people beyond people'."

Lin Chen left from the courtyard where Mu Jun lived and went to the courtyards where others lived, apologizing one by one.

Except for the elders whose three disciples died in the Canglan Secret Realm—these three elders had already left the Canglan Sect yesterday.

Two days later.

"Little guy, it's time to set off."

Lin Chen, who was cultivating in the courtyard, heard the voice and looked toward the courtyard gate. When he saw the figure standing at the courtyard gate, there was a look of disbelief in his eyes.

It was actually the Supreme Elder.

"Su... Supreme Elder."

Lin Chen couldn't imagine that it was the Supreme Elder who would bring him back to the East Sea Region.

What virtue and ability does he have?

The vast mountains and rivers were plated with a layer of red gold by the setting sun. In a mountain range, two figures, one old and one young, were walking on the winding mountain ridges. Their steps seemed leisurely, but in fact, every step taken, their figures swept across a hundred zhang like flowing clouds.

This old and young pair were Ye Feiran and Lin Chen.

After the two left the Canglan Sect, they didn't take a mount but chose to walk.

Ye Feiran had white hair and a white robe. When his sleeves brushed past the craggy rocks, the grass sprouts struggling in the stone crevices suddenly straightened, bursting with sharp intent far exceeding vitality.

"Look at this grass."

Lin Chen's gaze looked at the grass. The grass was high, but there was nothing special about it.

Ye Feiran pointed his finger, and a strand of frost-white spear intent suddenly condensed at the tip of the grass leaf: "And now?"

Lin Chen blinked his eyes a few times. He saw the spear intent he had absorbed from this grass.

"All things in heaven and earth have will. The so-called martial will does not exist in the spear, but in the heart."

Ye Feiran picked the grass, waved it lightly, and it was like a long spear roaring, finally sinking into the strange rock in front.

"Martial cultivation, after the Innate stage, is not just achieved by hard cultivation. The further you go, the more you need insight—insight into the principles of heaven and earth, insight into the way of the world. When I stepped into the Sixth Stage of the Innate Realm, I walked through thirteen regions, had six insights in thirty years

Lin Chen had a thoughtful look on his face. By now, he understood that although the Grand Elder had not taught him how to proceed on his future path of the Martial Way, nor had he given any pointers regarding his cultivation situation, it was because the Grand Elder did not intend to influence his path of cultivation.
