Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Coming Out of Seclusion

Hum——

A buzzing sound emanated from the Second Soul Division, the explosive roar of flames.

Following that booming noise, the aura of the Second Soul Division climbed rapidly.

The fiery Blue Lotus Divine Flame finally submerged completely into the Soul Split’s body, transforming into a force that hovered within the Soul Sea, becoming an integral part of Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division’s strength.

Divine Fire is what countless Alchemists and Artifact Refiners dream of, their lifeline; it is something one could encounter but not seek. Even if some were lucky enough to come across it, not all with Reverting Void Realm Cultivation could successfully refine it.

But Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division managed to refine it at the peak of the Melding Earth Realm.

At this moment, the aura of Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division soared quickly and broke through to the Heaven-reaching Realm in an instant.

Next, it was the First Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, the Second Layer, the Third Layer... until it halted upon reaching the Fifth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

The Sixth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm is an important threshold. Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division could have leveraged the power of refining the Blue Lotus Divine Flame to break through it in one go.

However, Lin Chen knew well that cultivating too hastily was inadvisable; it was essential to build a solid foundation. Although the strength of the Blue Lotus Divine Flame was formidable, allowing him to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm, such a foundation was not stable. He needed time to settle and strengthen his base before considering advancing further.

"Is this... a success?"

Hua Lianxin ceased to sense Lin Chen extracting her power and immediately withdrew her force. At this moment, Lin Chen’s original body also slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

Lin Chen then beckoned with a hand, recalling the ten Stone Sculpture Puppets.

At this point, Hua Lianxin didn’t know what Lin Chen’s seclusion was for, but if Lin Chen didn’t wake up soon, she was going to reach her limit.

Although Lin Chen provided her with plenty of Top-Quality Spirit Stones and Third-grade High-level Elixirs, the speed and volume at which he absorbed her Power of Cold Ice were so fast and immense that she simply couldn’t keep up with his needs, and it was more than she could bear.

Seeing Lin Chen awaken, she finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"Thank you very much, Miss Hua."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, then a gentle force flowed into Hua Lianxin’s body, helping her recover from the strain.

"It’s what I had promised Young Master Lin Chen; there is no need for thanks," Hua Lianxin said with a shake of her head and a smile.

In the next second, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division flew out from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron Space and landed beside Lin Chen.

At this moment, purple flames appeared on the body of the Second Soul Division and under its control, these flames were slowly retracted back into its body.

The clothes on the Second Soul Division were burnt to nothing; seeing this, Lin Chen immediately covered it with a black robe he had worn, draping it over the body of his Second Soul Division.

"This... This is the aura of the Heaven-reaching Realm Fifth Layer cultivation!"

Hua Lianxin was utterly shocked when she saw Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division.

To think that not long before, when the Second Soul Division disappeared, its cultivation was clearly at the peak of the Melding Earth Realm.

Not much time had passed, and counting the days, the seclusion did not last more than ten days.

In the span of ten days, to break through from the peak of the Melding Earth Realm to the Fifth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm—such a rate of cultivation was unheard of in the Great Flame Dynasty, no, perhaps even on the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent, in ten thousand years.

Right now, Hua Lianxin felt lucky in her heart, having resolved her grievances with Lin Chen early on.

If she had truly become enemies with him because of the conflict at the Wanxing Commerce Association, she didn’t know what dire consequences she would have faced.

For someone with such heaven-defying talents, if they can’t be one’s friend, then they should definitely not become an enemy, or one may never sleep peacefully again, always worrying about potential retribution as they grow stronger, even if you were a Reverter Void Realm powerhouse.

And at this moment, outside Lin Chen’s secluded chamber.

The sky was filled with the rumble of thunder, continuous and mighty, as countless dark clouds gathered with thunder and lightning weaving between them.

"Such an anomaly, could it be that someone is about to break through to the Reverting Void Realm?"

"No, that’s not right. If it were a Reverter Void Realm powerhouse, we should have sensed it in Divine Sun City."

"Could it be Lin Chen..."

Xu Ma’an and the others looked up at the sky, watching the phenomena unfold, and they immediately realized that it was likely caused by Lin Chen’s seclusion.

But Lin Chen’s original body was only at the third-level cultivation of the Melding Earth Realm, and Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was at the Peak of the Melding Earth Realm. If there was to be a breakthrough in cultivation, it should have been to the Heaven-reaching Realm.

However, the anomaly above far surpassed the spectacle that a breakthrough by a Warrior of the Heaven-reaching Realm would cause.

Hum——

At this moment, within the chamber.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division lifted its hand and a purple flame appeared in its palm.

The moment the flame materialized, the walls around it began to melt. Hua Lianxin immediately felt an immense fiery power, which forced her to mobilize the Power of Cold Ice within her body to resist the heat from the flame.

Hua Lianxin realized that this was just a flame Lin Chen had summoned in his hand; if he used it against her, she would be utterly defenseless.

"What terrifying power of flame, this... could this be Divine Fire?"

Her eyes shifted towards Lin Chen, now filled with an additional measure of shock.

Before his attempt to refine Divine Fire, Lin Chen’s cultivation was only at the peak of the Melding Earth Realm, yet he dared to undertake the challenge of refining Divine Fire.

If even slightly careless, he would undoubtedly face the fate of both body and dao vanishing.

It’s not just about the Melding Earth Realm Cultivation; even for those in the Heaven-reaching Realm or the Reverting Void Realm, the chances of successfully refining Divine Fire are probably only one in ten.

And at this moment, the moment Lin Chen summoned Divine Fire, Xu Ma’an and the other three outside the chamber also sensed the powerful flame power emanating from within.

The displayed might of the flame made them feel a great danger as well.

"Why would such a fierce power of flames come from inside the chamber? Is Lin Chen causing it?"

Xu Ma’an and the others were puzzled. They were eager to rush into the chamber to find out what was going on, but Lin Chen had not yet ended his seclusion, so they dared not intrude recklessly.

"This guy, he always manages to bring surprises."
