Chapter 284: The Immortal Blushes

Seeing Tianhuan Sect instantly wiped out, the people of Dark Dragon Abyss trembled in fear.

They believed Dark Dragon Abyss had a Three-Turn Martial Saint, just one who hadn't appeared yet.

Otherwise, how could Xu Chen stand alone?

Xu Chen looked at An Lin and said calmly, "Now do you know what to do?"

An Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Since you say you want to take over Dark Dragon Hall, then from now on, you are the Hall Master." Xu Chen nodded; originally, this role was meant for Ye Xuan.

But unfortunately, Ye Xuan had been injured by him and fled outright—clearly not up to the task.

He now controlled Dark Dragon Hall, so he was, in a sense, part of Dark Dragon Abyss.

Some matters required such a status.

Especially since something would happen in Dark Dragon Abyss half a month from now.

Right now, he should focus on boosting his strength.

Thinking this, he turned to Ling Qingyan: "Immortal, could I borrow your Spirit Stone ore vein?" He had Spirit Stones of his own, but if he could get them for free, why use his own, right?

Ling Qingyan nodded: "The Spirit Stone ore vein is nearly depleted—only one-tenth remains, but it should be enough."

Upon hearing this, everyone's lips twitched slightly.

A Spirit Stone ore vein holds immense quantities; even a depleted one should still contain at least a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

Isn't that unimaginable number enough?

Xu Chen chuckled: "Then I'll go train at Piaomiao Holy Sect for a while." As he spoke, Xu Chen gave Ling Qingyan a pointed look.

Ling Qingyan's face flushed slightly—this guy wouldn't be thinking of doing that to her, would he?

So embarrassing—should she agree or refuse?

While she pondered, Xu Chen had already arrived at Piaomiao Holy Sect.

He gazed intently and noticed a Divine Grade Array encircling it.

Martial Saints struggle to enter; even if they do, they can barely escape.

Then Ling Qingyan led Xu Chen straight into the top-grade Spirit Stone ore vein. "Sssss!"

As soon as he entered, Xu Chen felt a mist-like surge of Spiritual Qi.

Some had even condensed into droplets, soaking into the surrounding Spirit Stones.

He examined closely and found that the top-grade Spirit Stone ore vein was not entirely composed of top-grade Spirit Stones.

Yet, from hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones, it could still yield the top-grade ones.

Such a feat was impossible for a Superior Spirit Stone ore vein.

Ling Qingyan said, "Train however you like; if you get tired, just tell me."

Xu Chen asked curiously, "Tell you what?"

Ling Qingyan's face flushed slightly: "I—I'll massage your shoulders, help you relax." Xu Chen blinked—this girl didn't misunderstand, did she?

He was just joking.

He cleared his throat: "Alright, alright, I won't be polite then."

Thinking this, Xu Chen sat cross-legged and began practicing the "Eternal Unextinguished Scripture."

Instantly, pale green Spiritual Qi swirled all over his body.

His cultivation realm's aura rose slowly.

And now, finally, he had the chance to absorb the residual soul of the Anlong Wudi.

In a few days, his Divine Sense should improve further.

Thus, half a month later, Xu Chen's Divine Sense had skyrocketed to the peak of Three-Turn Martial Saint.

Originally, his realm couldn't have advanced—but he used the Lanyou Jingxin Flower.

After consuming it, his cultivation speed doubled for three days, and his spirit remained perfectly calm.

Combined with the Saint Grade Pill Ling Qingyan gave him, Xu Chen's realm also surged to Three-Turn Martial Saint.

As for his body, after consuming Huang Ying Cuoti Grass, it had also surged to Second-turn Martial Saint level.

Thus, his current realm and Divine Sense were Three-Turn, while his body was Second-turn.

As for the Shen Yu Battle Armor, he hadn't had time to temper it—it remained at First-turn level. He stretched lazily: "Today, it seems something monstrous is emerging from Dark Dragon Abyss—a Three-Turn Martial Saint, apparently.

And Ye Xuan, this bastard, gained another opportunity within these half months—seems he's broken through to Second-turn Martial Saint. 'Hahaha! I've finally broken the seal, regained my freedom!'"

Just as Xu Chen finished speaking, a wild, raucous laugh erupted above the millions-of-li expanse of Dark Dragon Abyss.

This laugh carried supreme Spiritual Qi and an utterly violent aura.

Those with low cultivation instantly died with blood gushing from all seven orifices; those slightly stronger suffered ruptured eardrums and ringing skulls.

Even Martial Saints turned pale. "Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh!"

At this moment, the Dark Dragon Abyss experts, who had lain dormant for half a month, shot out from their sects once more.

The Immortal Pavilion, Tai Chu Beast Gate, Wuji Sound Valley, Piaomiao Holy Sect, Tianling Palace—all appeared.

Even Luo Qianshang, Fahai, Qingyou, and others from their sects had not left in the past half month—they had been secretly training here all along.
