Lin Chen slightly furrowed his brow.
He had cultivated the Celestial Derivation Technique to the eleventh layer, nearly doubling the strength and range of his Divine Sense.
This allowed him to possess the Divine Sense strength comparable to a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator, even while in the Nascent Soul early stage.
However, the Celestial Derivation Technique is not just any Spiritual Sense Technique; after the inference derived from the Celestial Derivation Pearl, it has thirteen levels of amplification, which is quite terrifying.
Ordinary Divine Sense Secret Techniques can amplify by three to five levels, which is already considered impressive.
But Jiang Liqian’s Divine Sense strength, though slightly inferior to Lin Chen’s, seed to vaguely reach the Nascent Soul mid-stage standard.
Lin Chen did not believe any Divine Sense Secret Technique could amplify a Divine Sense five to six tis.
Thus, even if Jiang Liqian had practiced a Divine Sense Secret Technique, her inherent Divine Sense strength was likely at the Nascent Soul early stage.
"How long has it been... Junior Sister Jiang’s cultivation has reached the Nascent Soul stage as well?"
Lin Chen was quite astonished in his heart.
Over ten years ago, Jiang Liqian entered the Golden Yuan Sect relics, seeking the Golden Yuan Skill of the third transformation.
At that ti, she certainly hadn’t reached the Golden Core stage.
And in a re fifteen or sixteen years, Jiang Liqian had also reached the Nascent Soul stage, keeping pace with Lin Chen.
It should be known that Lin Chen had double cultivation ti due to traversing two realms...
Even though he balanced the Martial Path and cultivation, Lin Chen obviously devoted more ti to cultivation.
Reflecting on this point, Lin Chen silently thought:
"Junior Sister Jiang’s aptitude definitely isn’t just Earth Spirit Root; at the very least, she must have a Top Grade Celestial Spirit Root to achieve such a feat..."
"It seems Junior Sister Jiang’s secret may be even greater."
Lin Chen shook his head; he did not want to probe Jiang Liqian’s secrets.
This was better for both of them.
After they overca all thirty-six Illusion Realms, the exit of Mist Heart Palace opened completely.
"Junior Sister Jiang, shall we enter the inner part of the relic?"
Lin Chen asked.
"Alright!" Jiang Liqian nodded slightly.
Thus, the two of them stepped into the inner layer of the relic.
anwhile, at Peach Demon Forest.
Elder Taoyao brewed a pot of tea for himself, slowly savoring it.
Suddenly, he sensed sothing and looked toward the direction of Mist Heart Palace.
"These two juniors are rather exceptional..."
Elder Taoyao’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
With his cultivation as a Transford Great Demon, he could not fully see through the pair.
"That young girl, her background seems rather extraordinary... possessing special fortune..."
"But why is she here?"
Elder Taoyao was puzzled.
When Jiang Liqian entered Peach Demon Valley, he sensed sothing unusual.
Therefore, he dared to request protection from Jiang Liqian.
Because he knew Jiang Liqian could help him overco the Transformation Thunder Tribulation.
But he never expected that the helping hand would be soone else.
"Lin Chen... this junior seems to have a greater secret behind him?"
Elder Taoyao murmured.
As a Transford Great Demon, Elder Taoyao was aware of the difficulty of seeking protection.
Only those who are dragons among n could bear this karma and withstand the pressure.
After smoothly overcoming the Thunder Tribulation and transforming, Elder Taoyao discovered Lin Chen seed unaffected.
This implied that Lin Chen might be carrying a larger karma and fortune.
Compared to that karma, the trivial protection was inconsequential.
"Interesting, so very interesting!"
"Could it be that the junior is a reincarnated Celestial Being?"
Elder Taoyao leaned back in his rocking chair, whispering softly.
At this mont, Lin Chen was unaware of Elder Taoyao’s thoughts.
Originally, he dared to stand before Jiang Liqian and take the protective oath primarily because of what Jiang Liqian said:
"The ruler of the Cultivator Dynasty, a Royal Family bloodline bearer, their fate concerns millions, bearing supre karma and fortune... thus capable of granting protection to Spirit Monster Beasts."
Lin Chen thought then: "Since the so-called Cultivator Dynasty is blessed with karma and fortune, the karma he carries would be even more!"
Because a Cultivator Dynasty might rely bear the karma of millions.
Whereas, behind Lin Chen, he carried the burden of an entire world...
Compared to that karma, the trivial Transformation karma...
Is like a speck compared to the heavens!
...
anwhile, at the furthest depths of the Dragon Spirit Sect relic.
After passing through Mist Heart Palace, their vision shifted dramatically.
Lin Chen stepped into a new world.
"Here is..."
Lin Chen slightly furrowed his brow, surveying the surroundings.
It was a vast wasteland, endless to the eye.
The soil was reddish-brown, with a hint of scorched black.
The sky lacked sun, moon, and stars, yet was bright.
On the barren land, there was no trace of any living being.
Even the crooked trees barely visible on the plains were scorched black, their branches forked without a hint of green.
"Here... is the inner part of the Dragon Spirit Sect relic?"
"It seems to have been washed in the baptism of so great battle?"
Lin Chen furrowed his brow slightly and looked at Jiang Liqian.
Jiang Liqian glanced around their surroundings and nodded:
"That’s correct, this is the deepest part of the Dragon Spirit Sect relic... but this space is probably far older than the existence of the Dragon Spirit Sect!"
"Or rather, the Dragon Spirit Sect owed its rise to this forbidden land."
Lin Chen blinked and quietly listened to Jiang Liqian’s explanation.
"This space is called the Defeated Dragon Forbidden Land!"
"It is said that tens of thousands of years ago... a True Dragon perished in this forbidden land!"
Jiang Liqian spoke startling words.
"After the True Dragon’s death, its blood and flesh dyed the entire land red, giving birth to the Land of Dragon Blood."
"Its skeleton transford into mountain ridges..."
"Its scales, claws, and whiskers... connected with this forbidden land, giving rise to many mutated spiritual objects."
Jiang Liqian paused, then looked up at Lin Chen and said:
"For instance, the Dragon Spirit Grass."
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, his Divine Sense spread out like a tide around him once again.
But this desolate space was vast beyond asure, and even Lin Chen’s Divine Sense couldn’t locate the Dragon Spirit Grass.
Jiang Liqian also probed with her Divine Sense for a mont before shaking her head:
"No, this space is too large... We don’t have much ti, we must search separately."
"Senior Brother Lin, let’s split up. If we find anything, we’ll communicate with the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Jade?"
Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.
So the two of them flew in opposite directions, heading off to explore.
...
Lin Chen stood on the Purple Jade Gourd, his Divine Sense probing outward, leaving no corner unchecked.
From high above, the vastness of this desolate land exceeded Lin Chen’s imagination.
It was also filled with desolation.
Lin Chen explored for a full two quarters of an hour, flying over several hundred miles, yet still discovered nothing.
"Is this Dragon Spirit Grass... so hard to find?"
While Lin Chen hesitated, he suddenly sensed a hint of red light flashing ahead.
"Hmm?"
Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and he flew forward.
But not long after he flew out, Lin Chen felt his Magical Power go out of control.
At the sa ti, a fierce wind was blowing incessantly in the sky.
Lin Chen frowned slightly, quickly descending to the ground.
Feeling the chaos within his Magical Power, it seed even his Divine Sense was suppressed...
"This imnse power..."
"Dragon Might!"
"The Defeated Dragon Land... it’s real! A True Dragon did indeed fall here!"
Lin Chen took a deep breath, feeling the oppressive force of the terrifying Dragon Might.
The True Dragon Race, favored by heaven.
Born with abilities beyond Transformation...
And this terrifying True Dragon, who knows what realm it was...
"It seems I can’t fly... I can only search for those Treasures of Heaven and Earth on foot."
Lin Chen first took out the Mother-Child Sound Transmission Jade and sent a ssage to Jiang Liqian.
Soon, Jiang Liqian replied:
"I also found a trace of a Treasure of Heaven and Earth here, do you need help on your side?"
"No... then we will explore individually?" Lin Chen quickly responded.
"Okay."
Receiving a confird response, Lin Chen walked forward slowly.
This seed to be a sunken basin, the soil redder than the desolate land.
The closer Lin Chen got to the center of the basin, the stronger the pressure he felt.
"The True Dragon fell, different parts scattered across the land."
"Wherever the True Dragon Essence Blood nourished, Treasures of Heaven and Earth were born... and the Dragon Might was also stronger."
Lin Chen silently chanted a phrase in his heart, gradually understanding the patterns of this forbidden land.
Fortunately, the True Dragon had fallen long ago, and the pressure was gradually dissipating.
Lin Chen smoothly made his way into the depths of the basin.
A mont later, he saw the red light he had previously discovered.
"This is... Dragon Spirit Flower!"
Lin Chen’s eyes brightened slightly.
A few dozen ters away, in the barren soil, several red flowers were blooming brilliantly.
Every petal was as large as a palm, covered with patterns resembling dragon scales.
This was exactly the Dragon Spirit Flower Jiang Liqian spoke of.
"In a place of Treasures of Heaven and Earth, there should be Demon Beasts guarding it..."
Lin Chen frowned slightly, not rushing forward, but used his Divine Sense to carefully probe.
Despite being suppressed by the Dragon Might, within several hundred ters around, Lin Chen had already checked thoroughly.
"Hmm? No life fluctuations anywhere..."
Lin Chen was slightly surprised but chose to act cautiously.
So he probed underground with his Divine Sense again, until several hundred ters deep, still finding no signs of Demon Beasts.
"Seeing the Treasures of Heaven and Earth, there’s no reason not to pick them..."
Lin Chen moved forward slowly, approaching the Dragon Spirit Flower.
There were four Dragon Spirit Flowers in total, each with large petals.
Just one could probably refine several furnaces of Dragon Spirit Pills...
Following Jiang Liqian’s previous instructions, he used a special thod to pick the Dragon Spirit Flowers and smoothly placed them into his Storage Bag.
After picking the Dragon Spirit Flowers, Lin Chen carefully observed the surroundings, still noticing no movent.
"There truly are no Demon Beasts... It seems no Demon Beast can survive in this Defeated Dragon Forbidden Land..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
After picking the Dragon Spirit Flowers, Lin Chen didn’t rush to leave, but squatted down, took out the Black Hoe, and started to dig the soil.
The soil nourished by Dragon Blood was very heavy in hand and emitted a slight pressure.
"These Dragon Spirit Flowers must be planted on this soil... To cultivate Dragon Spirit Flowers, this soil must also be taken away."
Thinking of this, Lin Chen didn’t miss a bit, starting to dig downward.
He dug several feet deep until all the soil touched by Dragon Blood was excavated by him.
Besides the soil, Lin Chen also found a few Dragon Spirit Flower seeds.
The ground sank into a large depression as a result.
Lin Chen packed all the soil into an empty Nanobag, weighed it in his hand.
"Tsk tsk, this Dragon Blood Soil... it must weigh at least ten tons!"
"Not only can it be used to plant Dragon Spirit Flowers, but it’s also top-grade Spiritual Soil!"
