Chapter 925: Chapter 148: Finals Begin (Part 2)

When the gap is larger than they imagined, the feeling of discomfort is gone, replaced by more fear...

...

...

Li Family’s guest courtyard.

The young man sitting in the courtyard also had a look of astonishment on his face.

"He’s actually passed the thirtieth level..."

The young man’s expression was indecisive; if Lin Chen had only passed the tenth or even the twentieth level, he wouldn’t have changed his initial decision.

But the thirtieth level...

"So is this Lin Chen the variable in the hexagram?"

This was the first time the young man hesitated a bit; his decision might very well determine the future rise and fall of the Thousand Mechanism Sect.

"If heaven changes, go with the flow."

Finally, the young man whispered softly, and then his figure disappeared from where he stood, along with the wine on the table, as if the courtyard had never had anyone present.

...

...

Canglan Sect!

At this moment, the entire sect was immersed in excitement; countless Inner Sect disciples were cheering, but in the main hall, it was rather silent.

Lin Chen’s potential was higher than anyone present could have guessed.

"Sect Leader, the most crucial thing right now is Lin Chen’s safety."

Du Xiaofeng, being Lin Chen’s master, was not filled with excitement but rather anxiety and worry.

The Eight Desolates Sect and the Canglan Sect once went to war, and with the Supreme Elder’s deterrence by visiting the Eight Desolates Sect, they dare not assassinate the Canglan Sect’s disciples anymore; victories are now decided on the battlefield, as for the Yama Hall, it has been mostly annihilated by the Canglan Sect.

But the potential Lin Chen showed this time might push the Eight Desolates Sect to spare no cost to eliminate Lin Chen.

Right now, the most critical thing is ensuring our disciple returns safely to the sect.

"I will inform the Supreme Elder of this matter."

Ji Cangtian nodded, the master uncle was the one who let Lin Chen travel around the Flame Dynasty, saying that a strong person couldn’t simply grow under the protection of the sect—they must undergo battles over life and death.

But this kind of contest in life and death is mostly among peers of the same realm; now, the Eight Desolates Sect will undoubtedly send Innate Fifth or even Innate Sixth Realm elders to hunt Lin Chen.

Growing through life and death and sending someone to their death are completely different concepts.

...

...

Thousand Mechanism City.

"Young Master, Lin Chen didn’t respond."

"Oh?"

Dongfang Canglang fiddled with his fingertips, lifting his gaze carelessly: "How did you speak to him?"

"Just in front of the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, I transmitted my voice to him, informing him that Young Master wants to see him, mentioning Young Master’s surname, and stated Young Master’s extremely noble status, even facing Young Master, Canglan Sect’s Supreme Elder would have to be courteous, but Lin Chen didn’t respond at all."

"Do you think this Lin Chen knows about me?"

The woman contemplated for a while: "Based on Lin Chen’s background, he probably does not know. Even though he is a disciple of the Canglan Sect, if he hasn’t reached the Innate Fifth Realm, the Canglan Sect wouldn’t inform him of Young Master’s existence."

Dongfang Canglang laughed: "Ignorance is no crime; considering he passed the thirtieth level, should I meet him again, I’ll give him another chance to follow me."

"Young Master is magnanimous."

...

...

Li Family’s guest courtyard.

Lin Chen also descended from the Martial Arts Seal, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just on the circular altar, someone spoke to him, the words full of arrogance.

Willing to give me an opportunity to follow him?

As the super Celestial Pride of Canglan Sect, letting me follow another person—how big is this so-called Young Master Dongfang’s face?

Even the Royal Family probably wouldn’t dare make such a request.

Ranting nonsense, Lin Chen didn’t bother to respond. Now, he needs to revisit the "Nine Fire Technique" for tomorrow’s alchemy competition.

...

...

A sleepless night!

Next day!

The final of the alchemy competition began in Thousand Mechanism City, any martial artist within the city who had the qualification to enter the venue rushed to Celestial Craft Pavilion at once, while those without the chance to enter were seated in various inns throughout Thousand Mechanism City, these innkeepers were the first to know the competition’s situation.

However, prior to the start of the competition, many martial artists weren’t discussing the alchemy event.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Lin Chen from Canglan Sect entered the Martial Arts Seal and stormed the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda, passing the thirtieth level."

"Thirtieth level, is it true? Didn’t Lv Zejia only pass the tenth?"

"It’s definitely true, and Lin Chen is already at the Peak of the Innate Third Realm, simply astonishing, I really don’t know how he cultivated."

The entire Thousand Mechanism City, all the martial artists at this moment were discussing just one event—Lin Chen’s dazzling performance at the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda yesterday.

The Artifact Refining Competition held by the Thousand Mechanism Sect is indeed the largest event in the Thousand Mechanism Domain, yet the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda captures the attention of all Innate Martial Artists of the Flame Dynasty.

And due to Lv Zejia’s senior brother’s words, some secrets regarding the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda have also been spread.

Lin Chen, who passed the thirtieth level, had his body and Divine Soul already achieving the limit of the Innate Third Realm, truly becoming invincible within the Innate Third Realm.

Amazement, disbelief, envy, jealousy...

Various emotions arose among the martial artists, the excitement even surpassed the upcoming alchemy finals.

Zeng Xi listened to the discussions of fellow disciples around him, feeling very unsettled inside, remembering not long ago Lin Chen had written to inquire about cultivation techniques related to the Divine Soul; at that time, he thought Lin Chen might be facing difficulties regarding his Divine Soul, even inviting Lin Chen to visit the sect.

Now thinking back, he realized he worried for nothing!

Yesterday, he also specially asked his master and received the answer that the limit of the Divine Soul inside the Heaven-Reaching Pagoda is not the same as the Divine Soul’s strength outside.
