Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Establishing the War Department

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, what did you just do to my Master? You’ve really got her worked up into that state."

Wang Yilin approached Lin Chen, looking at him with an all-seeing gaze.

Of course, Lin Chen didn’t believe that Wang Yilin knew what had happened in the cavern, because he had set up an array around the area, making it impossible for Wang Yilin to see clearly what was inside.

Seeing that Lin Chen showed no guilt whatsoever, Wang Yilin thought to herself that it seemed she couldn’t benefit from him this time and thus left the cave.

Watching Wang Yilin leave, the corners of Lin Chen’s mouth couldn’t help but turn upwards. He had now seen through some of Wang Yilin’s schemes; extorting treasures from him wasn’t as easy as before. The current Lin Chen was no longer as naive as he once was.

In the following days, Lin Chen’s main body continued to oversee everyone digging for Redflame Firestones, while his Second Soul Division planned to return to Divine Sun City to check on the disciples’ practice of the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array.

Although he had taught some key points of the array to Li Xuanming and asked him to oversee the training, the array was extremely profound, and Lin Chen worried Li Xuanming might not grasp its essence quickly. This could prevent the disciples from achieving the most perfect synergy.

At this moment, within Divine Sun City.

Jade Cauldron Sect disciples were all training the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array. With the disciples’ flawless cooperation, each individually weak disciple, when combined in the killing formation, could unleash a force dozens of times more powerful than their own.

"Such an exquisite killing formation—no wonder Jade Cauldron Sect was able to claim Divine Sun City for itself."

"Indeed, it’s an incredible formation. Many of these disciples are just in the Body Tempering Realm, yet, through the synergy of this formation, they can burst forth with power comparable to the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm. It’s truly unbelievable."

"You’re all focusing on the killing formation, but have you not noticed that each of these martial artists possesses magic artifacts, and not just one per person, at that?"

The members of Floral Transfer Palace were immensely shocked in their hearts while observing the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples practicing the formation at the plaza in Divine Sun City.

After witnessing the powerful force of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s killing formation, they too began to aspire towards it.

After all, Lin Chen had previously promised them that he would allow the members of Floral Transfer Palace to also form their own faction.

However, the members of Floral Transfer Palace were well aware that with their financial and human resources, it was impossible to build a force that surpassed that of Jade Cauldron Sect.

Currently in Divine Sun City, there were many commoners, some of whom were martial artists who had undertaken training. However, to enlist them under their command, they would need to offer substantial benefits; otherwise, why would they join, especially at this critical moment?

Joining them would mean opposing the Black Cloud Sect. Although they knew their own strength to be weak, as long as they didn’t oppose the Black Cloud Sect, even if Divine Sun City were occupied by it, that wouldn’t necessarily be a disaster for them.

After all, if Divine Sun City changed masters, to these commoners, it would mean only a change in whom they served and offered tributes to.

Yet, those people had guessed wrong. They couldn’t possibly imagine that behind the Black Cloud Sect stood the cruel Red Soul Hall, whose brutality they could not fathom.

While the members of Floral Transfer Palace were marveling at the Jade Cauldron Sect disciples practicing the killing formation, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had returned to Divine Sun City, accompanied by Zhao Rushi and Wang Yilin.

The moment Bi Qiuyan saw Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division, her face couldn’t help but show a hint of confusion.

She perceived that Lin Chen’s cultivation had increased significantly, from the Fifth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm to the Fifth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

This was simply too defying for the heavens, and Bi Qiuyan had no idea that the Lin Chen in front of her was the second soul, not the Lin Chen they had known before.

However, Hua Lianxin did know the reason and thus explained it to everyone.

Upon hearing this, Bi Qiuyan and the others were incredibly shocked and looked at Lin Chen with disbelief.

They could never have imagined that such powerful techniques existed in the world, and what’s more crucial was that Lin Chen had mastered them at the Fifth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm.

This was a technique that allowed the cultivation of an avatar that could also improve one’s cultivation, a technique that no doubt any martial artist would envy.

However, everyone understood that they must not harbor any greed for such secret techniques; otherwise, it would only bring disaster upon them.

After seeing Lin Chen, Bi Qiuyan approached him and shared her thoughts; she too wanted to establish her own War Department in Divine Sun City and start practicing killing formations, to contribute a sliver of strength in the upcoming battle against the Black Cloud Sect.

Naturally, they were aware that the Jade Cauldron Sect wouldn’t let them reside within Divine Sun City for nothing.

They also knew the ambition of the Black Cloud Sect; if the Jade Cauldron Sect were to be destroyed, their own fate would not be pleasant either.

As for Bi Qiuyan’s decision, Lin Chen naturally allowed it, for this was what he had previously promised them.

The Jade Cauldron Sect would not interfere with their efforts to strengthen their own force, but in establishing a War Department, the Jade Cauldron Sect would not provide any help, and it was impossible for the sect to send people to join them.

Moreover, to develop a War Department, resources like elixirs, magic artifacts, talisman inscriptions, etc., would not be provided by the Jade Cauldron Sect; they had to find their own way.

However, Lin Chen did offer to provide them with a killing formation.

In the space of Lin Chen’s Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, there were countless readymade killing formations. Lin Chen casually picked one and gifted it to Bi Qiuyan.

However, the level of the killing formation was inferior to the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array; it was just an ordinary Third-Grade Killing Formation.

The Divine Fire Troop Killing Array, on the other hand, was comparable to a Fifth-Grade Killing Formation, and its power was naturally not on the same level.

But the reason Lin Chen offered a Third-Grade Killing Formation was precisely because he saw that it was the most appropriate for the Floral Transfer Palace to practice in a certain period of time due to their strength.

The killing formation Lin Chen taught Bi Qiuyan and the others was called the ’Floral Transfer Formation’, and if practiced and operated correctly, its power would not be inferior to an ordinary Fourth-Grade Killing Formation.

For this, Bi Qiuyan and the others were extremely grateful, for the highest level killing formation in the Floral Transfer Palace was only Second Grade Intermediate,

Now that Lin Chen had given them a Third-Grade Formation, how could they not be excited?

After all was arranged, Lin Chen’s second soul returned to the Royal Court to prepare for seclusion and alchemy.

Just as Lin Chen was about to enter seclusion, Zhao Rushi suddenly came to the court and handed Lin Chen a scroll.

It was a Pill Recipe, and it appeared very ancient, extraordinary at first glance.
