Chapter 536: Chapter 536: The Relic Opens

"Ranked tenth on the Earth Ranking!?"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised at this.

"Lin Chen, don’t be disheartened. Being able to rank within the top hundred is already quite impressive. You should know that Dongfang Yun, when evaluated three years ago, was only ranked four hundred seventy-second. Now that his strength has broken through, he should also be able to rank within the top hundred, along with that guy Chang Bai."

Qin Kaifeng said indifferently.

As Qin Kaifeng was informing him of this, Lin Chen’s gaze drifted as he pondered something.

"Brother Qin, you also said that this Heavenly Ranking and Earth Ranking cover all the Heavenly Prides of our entire Eastern Domain, so they include members of the Red Soul Hall and the Demon Race, right?"

Lin Chen voiced the thoughts in his mind.

"Of course, that’s how it is. Among us in the Divine Flame Alliance, on the Earth Ranking, only four out of the top ten are from our alliance. The other six are three from the Red Soul Hall and three from the Demon Race."

"Considering our Divine Flame Alliance encompasses six sects, securing one out of the top ten spots is already quite good, even though it happens to be the tenth spot."

"That’s why the sects have been much more demanding of us over the years, first wanting to cultivate our young disciples. But you are also aware of the situations with Dongfang Yun and Xu Hai..."

Qin Kaifeng stated quietly, shaking his head slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. Qin Kaifeng, the half-baked guy, had the gall to mention Dongfang Yun and Xu Hai, while he himself spent all day thinking about how to sneak into the War Department, completely disregarding the arrangements made by his ancestors. Otherwise, by now, his Cultivation would likely have already broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, and he would have become a True Disciple.

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, thinking that it was indeed as he had guessed.

"Apart from Brother Wu Chao, who are the other people in the Divine Flame Alliance that have ranked in the top ten of the Earth Ranking?"

Lin Chen became interested in the Earth Ranking and started to inquire.

After all, during this expedition into the relic, he might encounter these top-ranked Heavenly Pride martial artists, so it was naturally better for Lin Chen to know about them in advance.

"The other three people are as I’ve already mentioned to you: Tian Peng from Bodhi Hall, ranked ninth on the Earth Ranking; Yuan Lingzi from Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, ranked sixth; and another is Zhao Ziyi, who is ranked third on the Earth Ranking and comes from Spirit Sword Sect. I don’t know if that guy’s Cultivation has broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm over these years. If he has broken through, he should be joining the ranks of the Heavenly Ranking by now."

"Ranked second on the Earth Ranking is Yuan Baishu, one of Red Soul Hall’s people. I’ve only heard of him but have never seen him in person."

"As for the one ranked first on the Earth Ranking, I’ve seen even less of him. He is from the Demon Race, named Luo Wu, purportedly having a Flood Dragon body with True Dragon bloodline. Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know."

Then, Qin Kaifeng gave Lin Chen an overview of the forces within the top hundred of the Earth Ranking, as they were the most threatening existences they would encounter in the relic.

About thirty percent of the martial artists ranked in the top hundred are from Divine Flame Alliance, another thirty percent from the Demon Race, and the remaining forty percent are Demon Cultivators from Red Soul Hall.

After listening to Qin Kaifeng’s introduction, Lin Chen silently made plans, ensuring that he wouldn’t be completely unprepared when encountering an enemy.

Lin Chen called over Xia Wanxin, Ouyang Xuan, and others, then began to discuss how they would handle the situation upon entering the relic.

After all, in this incursion, members from Red Soul Hall and the Demon Race would surely be formidable enemies.

Moreover, if the contention involved treasures, even martial artists from the Divine Flame Alliance could potentially become enemies, as the struggle wasn’t about competing in skill but vying for fortune.

Since Lin Chen, Qin Kaifeng, Xia Wanxin, Ouyang Xuan, and others had previous experience fighting alongside one another, there would be some level of coordination. Most importantly, Lin Chen understood their temperaments well enough to trust that they wouldn’t stab each other in the back.

As long as they agreed beforehand on how to distribute the treasures they acquired, there wouldn’t be any disagreements.

Lin Chen also brought out some elixirs and Talisman Inscriptions he had refined and distributed them among the group so they could save their lives at critical moments.

Receiving the elixirs and Talisman Inscriptions, everyone expressed heartfelt gratitude to Lin Chen and felt reassured that sticking with Lin Chen was sure to pay off.

Armed with Talisman Inscriptions and elixirs, they all felt more confident. Even without Lin Chen, they believed that they could face off against warriors with strength like Chang Bai’s.

Since Formation Sect wasn’t the last of the three major forces to arrive at this location, the group had to wait a bit longer.

Three days later, when all the forces of the three major factions had gathered, the leaders of the factions worked together to open the transport portal to the relic.

With the portal opening, warriors from the three factions desperately rushed inside.

The combined number of warriors from the three factions nearly reached one hundred thousand, with Formation Sect contributing the fewest numbers.

Lin Chen knew that in this secret realm journey, when the three major forces met, fierce battles would inevitably ensue.
