Chapter 532: Chapter 532: The Luoyun Mountain Range, Relic Emerges

After slapping Gong Ziting away, Lin Chen, without even a glance, directly walked out of the cultivation room’s main entrance.

Fang Xiaoya watched Lin Chen’s disappearing figure at the entrance of the cultivation room before relaxing her body and collapsing to the ground, sobbing softly.

If she had known earlier that Lin Chen’s strength was so freakishly strong, Fang Xiaoya would never have offended him.

Upon learning that Lin Chen had ended his seclusion, Xia Wanxin, Qin Kaifeng, and others quickly came to congratulate him, especially Qin Kaifeng, who had lost bet after bet without Lin Chen around, hoping every day for Lin Chen to end his seclusion earlier so that he could take him on a grand gamble. Now, he finally had Lin Chen back.

From the conversations with Qin Kaifeng and others, Lin Chen learned about the recent news of the Inner Sect’s Heavenly Prides. Ever since Chang Bai’s last battle with Lin Chen, many of the Heavenly Prides had been hit hard and then began to cultivate frantically. Now their cultivations had improved, including Xia Wanxin and Qin Kaifeng.

Qin Kaifeng’s sister, Qin Yushuang, was still in seclusion.

"You’re saying that Chang Bai actually defeated Dongfang Yun?"

And the one whose cultivation had increased the most was Chang Bai.

Lin Chen was simply incredulous when he heard Qin Kaifeng mention that Chang Bai had defeated Dongfang Yun.

Because just two months ago, Dongfang Yun had had the strength to put Chang Bai in his place.

And now, in just a little over two months, Chang Bai had grown this much?

"It was a fight in the Inner Sect Martial Arts Arena, many people saw it."

"But although Chang Bai won, it was just a narrow victory."

"Chang Bai then challenged Xu Hai, but it ended in a draw."

Hearing this, Lin Chen wasn’t too surprised.

According to Qin Kaifeng, Chang Bai had actually broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, just one step away from the Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm.

And just a few days after Chang Bai and Xu Hai fought to a draw, Wu Chao returned from outside.

Once Chang Bai learned of Wu Chao’s return, he immediately went to challenge him.

To this, Wu Chao didn’t refuse at all and directly accepted.

The battle between the two ended with Wu Chao defeating Chang Bai.

From Qin Kaifeng’s words, Lin Chen also learned that Wu Chao was someone who pursued the ultimate power in each realm. Lin Chen was quite interested in him and really wanted to know what kind of person Wu Chao was.

However, Lin Chen didn’t act rashly, after all, Wu Chao was an opponent even Chang Bai couldn’t defeat, so his strength was naturally extraordinary.

Even though Lin Chen’s cultivation had also broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm after his seclusion, his true strength should be comparable to that of Chang Bai. So if he went to challenge Wu Chao, it was likely that he couldn’t beat his opponent either.

However, not long after, news quickly spread within the Formation Sect that in the central power region of the Eastern Domain, in the Luoyun Mountain Range, an Ancient Ruin had appeared.

Upon hearing the news, warriors from various powers set out to explore, only to discover that only Martial Artists whose cultivations had not reached the Heavenly Human Realm were allowed to enter the ruins.

The appearance of the Ancient Ruins hinted at the vast opportunities and endless treasures hidden within. If one could find fortune and treasures in the ruins, it would undoubtedly represent a tremendous wealth that no warrior or Sect could resist.

Yet, after the Ancient Ruins appeared, while numerous forces sent their elites to explore, they found out that, other than a few Martial Artists at or above the seventh level of the Reverting Void realm who managed to escape, all others who entered the ruins lost all contact.

And Wu Chao was recalled back to the Sect precisely for this reason.

After investigations by the Formation Sect, it was confirmed that warriors at the Heavenly Human Realm absolutely could not enter the secret realm. Among the Sect’s disciples, only a few True Disciples like Dongfang Yun and Xu Hai had not achieved the cultivation of the Heavenly Human Realm; the others were all above that level.

So if the Formation Sect wanted a share of the spoils, they would have to select Martial Artists from within the Inner Sect, and only the top five hundred of the Inner Sect’s Pride List were eligible to go.

Thus, the Formation Sect immediately held a grand assembly, allowing all the Inner Sect’s Heavenly Prides to challenge each other freely for ten days. In the end, the top five hundred remaining on the list would be eligible to represent the Formation Sect in entering the ruins.

Upon this decision, all qualified warriors of the Formation Sect became excited, starting to issue challenges left and right.

During this time, Lin Chen continuously faced challenges. As the warriors within the top five hundred of the Pride List were strong, their rankings tended to be stable, and those ranked lower found it hard to defeat even those around the 500th rank, let alone challenge those of higher ranks.

However, Lin Chen became an exception because his cultivation was only at the Fourth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, which unexpectedly ignited the challenge desires of many warriors.

Facing the warriors that kept coming to challenge him, Lin Chen decided to take the initiative and publicly challenged Dongfang Yun.

To this, Dongfang Yun felt rather helpless. These two freaks, Chang Bai and Lin Chen, both treated him as a stepping
