Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Departure

"The splendor of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom today is all thanks to the blessings of Nephew Lin Chen; without him, the Jade Cauldron Sect could never have achieved what it has."

"Here, on behalf of the ancestors and all disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, I express our deepest gratitude to you! Thank you, Nephew Lin Chen!"

Facing the congratulations from everyone, Xu Ma’an was extremely moved internally, but his mind remained clear, and he did not grow complacent with his advancement to the Heavenly Human Realm. He knew who had brought about all of this.

Therefore, in front of everyone, Xu Ma’an gave Lin Chen a deep bow, which surprised everyone and earned him great admiration for his broad vision.

"Uncle-Master, as a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect, all that Lin Chen did was his duty."

"For Uncle-Master to say so has put Lin Chen in a difficult position."

"Moreover, the achievements of the Jade Cauldron Sect today are the result of everyone’s joint efforts; Lin Chen is humbled."

Seeing Xu Ma’an’s actions, Lin Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Since joining the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen initially only received genuine treatment from Yang Yuemin, Zhao Rushi, and Xu Lianyu, but as Lin Chen’s talent unfolded, the Sect’s attitude towards him gradually changed. Lin Chen never forgot the Sect, and whenever he came across treasures, he would share them with the Sect.

Seeing Xu Ma’an so humble, Lin Chen also felt relieved. He had been worried that after Xu Ma’an advanced to the Heavenly Human Realm, he might forget his initial intentions and become arrogant. But now it seemed that Xu Ma’an had not done so.

Nonetheless, Lin Chen did not fear Xu Ma’an. Although his own cultivation was inferior to Xu Ma’an’s, his true combat power was more than enough to crush Xu Ma’an.

Xu Ma’an’s advance to the Heavenly Human Realm was within Lin Chen’s expectations. The Heavenly Human elixirs that Lin Chen refined had a potent effect, and even with Xu Ma’an’s breakthrough, he had not fully assimilated the elixir’s power. In the time to come, the Heavenly Human Pill would continue to nourish his body, potentially allowing his cultivation to increase further.

With Xu Ma’an’s breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, the Jade Cauldron Sect had a better start. As long as the other elders and masters advanced to the Ninth Level of the Reverting Void Realm or Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm and took the Heavenly Human Pill, they too could catch up with Xu Ma’an’s pace.

Before he left, Lin Chen left behind one hundred human-shaped puppets with Heavenly Human Realm cultivation at the Jade Cauldron Sect and then departed for the Formation Sect.

Whether for himself or for the future of the Jade Cauldron Sect, he must return to the Formation Sect.

There were many things within the Formation Sect waiting for him to handle upon his return.

The Jade Cauldron Sect was Lin Chen’s foundation, where his closest kin resided, but he harbored greater ambitions.

Under the circumstances of the Eastern Domain, if Lin Chen wanted the Jade Cauldron Sect to stand firm in this chaotic world, he must continue to grow in strength. The Formation Sect was a stepping stone for his advancement.

The Formation Sect, one of the Six Great Sects of the Divine Flame Alliance, boasted talent far exceeding that of the Jade Cauldron Sect; there was no comparison.

Lin Chen left the Jade Cauldron Sect to avoid drawing the premature attention of the Red Soul Hall and the Divine Flame Alliance. The Jade Cauldron Sect was like a tiger growing in strength, which could potentially surpass all powers in the Eastern Domain once it matured.

Lin Chen’s ambitions extended beyond the Eastern Domain, especially after witnessing sects like the Ancient Qitian Sect. Even factions with Creation Realm powerhouses were ultimately destroyed.

Lin Chen knew he had to proceed step by step. Therefore, he needed to return to the Formation Sect, where he could grow rapidly.

Just as before he left the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen’s original body strength was inferior to that of his Second Soul Division. But upon his return, the gap in strength between Lin Chen and his Second Soul Division had widened.

This did not imply that the Second Soul Division’s cultivation speed was not fast, rather that Lin Chen had encountered incredibly great opportunities this time around.

Before leaving, Lin Chen left the Divine Fire Glazed Cup for the Second Soul Division. Although keeping the Divine Fire Glazed Cup with him could also enhance his combat power, Lin Chen already had the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and the Dragon Fang Dagger, so he left it for the Second Soul Division.

The Divine Fire Glazed Cup could summon Divine Fire and required spirit stones as an energy supplement; each outbreak might consume nearly fifty million top-grade spirit stones. Although it could inflict heavy damage on Nirvana Realm powerhouses, the cost was too great.

Lin Chen also left behind some high-grade materials for the Second Soul Division to use in refining magic treasures, high-grade Earth-escape Talismans, and even an Enlightenment Recliner.

It was easier for Lin Chen to obtain high-grade materials in the Formation Sect. The Second Soul Division’s Cultivation Method was inferior to Lin Chen’s, but in other respects, it was similar to Lin Chen’s original body, except for the physique, as Lin Chen’s Ancient Divine Body was attained through cultivating the Primordial Transformation Art.

Another reason for Lin Chen’s urgency to leave: a steward from the Formation Sect had sent him a message, instructing him to return promptly.

To Yang Yuemin, Zhao Rushi, Xu Lianyu, Xu Ma’an, Wang Yilin, and others of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen’s departure did not evoke much feeling, as Lin Chen and his Second Soul Division looked very similar.

Under the care of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, the Second Soul Division’s injuries had fully recovered.

Now that it had so many resources, the Second Soul Division could break through to the Half-Step Return to Void Realm at any time, but it was not in a rush to succeed.
