Chapter 396: Chapter 396 Enhancing Strength

Lin Chen, although he defeated Hong Lan using his exquisite swordmanship, compared to other martial artists who had arrived at the Formation Sect, Hong Lan’s cultivation was only medium at best.

Even Lin Chen had a feeling that if Hong Lan and his fellow disciples had joined forces just now, it would have been very tricky for Lin Chen to defeat them.

Despite the fact that Lin Chen had defeated many martial artists by now, though they seemed to have accepted the reality of their defeat on the surface, deep down they were certainly not reconciled to it.

Lin Chen didn’t dwell on it, knowing that overthinking was useless. It was of utmost importance to seize the time to improve his cultivation; then, even if everyone was dissatisfied with him and joined forces to deal with him, Lin Chen would not fear.

Returning to his room and looking at the large pile of treasures he had just collected, a smile appeared on Lin Chen’s lips.

Then Lin Chen began to operate the Primordial Transformation Art to refine the elixirs and spirit stones.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s body desperately needed a massive amount of energy, because after the previous battles, Lin Chen had once again broken through a bottleneck, his cultivation was about to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm.

Previously, outside his room, Lin Chen had been suppressing that cyclone, not allowing himself to break through.

Because Lin Chen knew that once the breakthrough started, there would inevitably be flaws exposed, and if there were people around who harbored ill intentions towards him, it would be dangerous.

Especially the people from the Zhao Family; although Lin Chen’s divine sense had not detected the presence of the Zhao Family, who knew among the martial artists around if there were any who were colluding with them.

After returning to his room, Lin Chen immediately began to enter a state of seated meditation for sudden enlightenment. With ten stone sculpture puppets each at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm around him, and the support of a formation, Lin Chen could safely proceed with the breakthrough.

With these ten stone sculpture puppets, plus the presence of the formation in the courtyard, even a fighter at the Reverting Void Realm would have to think twice before entering Lin Chen’s yard.

After continuously absorbing spirit stones, Lin Chen’s cultivation finally broke through to the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, but that final step was always just out of reach.

In fact, if Lin Chen wanted to, advancing to the Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm would not be difficult, but he was not eager to do so because he knew that rushing to advance in cultivation was not a good thing.

What Lin Chen was pursuing now had long surpassed invincibility at the same level; he wanted to fight against those stronger than him and not be at a disadvantage.

Even fighting beyond several levels of cultivation was what Lin Chen pursued, so he had to make sure that at every stage, he established an invincible foundation.

And the gap between the Eighth and Ninth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm was a significant hurdle. Lin Chen just happened to use the Formation Sect’s recruitment competition to refine himself.

After the breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Chen gained a new understanding of the High Mountain Flowing Water Swordsmanship.

Though he had theoretically mastered the thirteen sword moves, with his cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, Lin Chen simply could not fully execute all the moves; for example, the final move could only be executed by his Second Soul Division.

Aside from his main body’s cultivation, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division in Divine Sun City was also not idle.

On ordinary days, apart from seclusion and cultivation, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division would spar with Wang Dachui and others to practice martial arts skills.

Lin Chen arranged his tasks orderly; his main body and Second Soul Division would cultivate different techniques. Due to the shared divine soul, this was indeed a case of killing two birds with one stone.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was practicing a fist technique, the Scorching Sun Divine Fist, and at the same time, sparring with Xu Ma’an in the sky above.

Xu Lianyu watched from afar as her grandfather sparred with Lin Chen in the sky, her heart surging with an indomitable passion, and she was incredibly diligent in her cultivation.

In addition, the Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect were deeply shocked in their hearts as they watched the spar between Xu Ma’an and Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division.

Those in the know understood that the two were merely practicing martial arts skills, but to the uninformed, it would seem as if the two were engaged in a life-and-death battle.

Because the battle between Lin Chen and Xu Ma’an was indeed too intense, causing numerous Spiritual Light to surge across the sky.

Ever since Xu Ma’an started cultivating the Blazing Fire Divine Decree passed on by Lin Chen, he has had more motivation to cultivate.

In the past, due to the limitations of his cultivation technique, Xu Ma’an had thought about giving up as no matter how much he cultivated, it was very difficult to make any substantial progress.

But now things have changed. Since cultivating the Blazing Fire Divine Decree, Xu Ma’an could clearly feel the progress in his cultivation.

This reignited his confidence and spurred him into frenzied cultivation.

He was the Sect Leader of the Jade Cauldron Sect, and now his combat power was barely on par with Lin Chen, which naturally was too much of a blow to his pride.

Not only Lin Chen, but now Yang Yuemin’s combat power was not beneath Xu Ma’an’s, so he cultivated extremely diligently.

And the other Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect, seeing their Sect Leader Senior Brother working so hard, naturally did not fall behind in their cultivation progress.

Especially after they had all started cultivating the Blazing Fire Divine Decree, they too discovered the advancement it brought to their body cultivation.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s main body was cultivating the Purple Cloud Wings.

He had already cultivated this martial arts skill to the Second Realm, but he still had not mastered it. Even though he could create afterimages, they were merely fleeting shadows, which could only appear for an instant, and were not truly capable of forming a solid split presence, let alone be driven by Lin Chen’s mind.

The time for the Formation Sect’s recruitment event was drawing closer, and more and more martial artists were arriving at the Formation Sect. Lin Chen sensed several strong auras.

If it came to a head-on fight, Lin Chen was not confident that he could contend with those adversaries; therefore, he would need the help of his movement technique.

Lin Chen vividly remembered his purpose for this visit to the Formation Sect, which was to excel in the recruitment event and successfully join the sect. If he could become a True Disciple, that would be even better.
