Chapter 684: Chapter 684: Another Ancestral Master of Formation Sect

The Thunder Sword Technique Lin Chen had already cultivated to the Third Layer.

Looking back now, when he used to practice the technique, the grandeur it invoked was so immense that other martial artists scorned and even grew weary of him.

However, Qin Kaifeng only felt a bit embarrassed. It turned out Qin Kaifeng knew all along that this cultivation technique was created by their Ancestral Master.

But to cultivate the Thunder Sword Technique, one needed to harness a thunder technique, and it seemed that Lin Chen had yet to see Qin Kaifeng employ any thunder techniques—probably because he lacked the power of thunder and lightning in his body, hence he did not practice it.

Now, Lin Chen also knew that this Heavenly Thunder Divine Technique, despite having been cultivated to the third level realm, was not complete.

Such a powerful technique to draw in thunder, how could it possibly have only three levels? It seemed that the Thunder Sword Technique’s further layers were only accessible to even higher-level disciples.

Now that Lin Chen possessed a Second Class Honor Achievement, his status had changed compared to before, and perhaps he would have the chance to learn higher-level techniques.

Once he acquired the subsequent layers of the Thunder Sword Technique, it would undoubtedly be another trick up Lin Chen’s sleeve.

...

Hua Yun Peak, located within the Formation Sect, stands only behind the main peak, Formation Peak, and Sword Edge, ranking third in spiritual energy abundance.

Among the many peaks of the Formation Sect, it’s home to elders and true disciples, with many peak masters also establishing their caves here.

At this moment, Yu Chuan landed on the mountain and approached his cave dwelling. Immediately, four black-clad attendants came forward, respectfully reporting something to him.

All four attendants had reached the Peak of the Reverting Void Realm.

In other forces and sects of the Eastern Domain, they would undoubtedly be among the most powerful.

Bear in mind that even people like Yang Yuemin reached only the Eighth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm despite Lin Chen providing them with abundant cultivation resources and top-quality techniques.

This demonstrated the extraordinary nature of these four attendants, yet in Yu Chuan’s cave dwelling, they were merely retinues.

Indeed, just retinues.

Within the Formation Sect, true disciples could establish their own cave dwellings among various peaks, along with their attendants and servants.

After dismissing the four attendants with a wave of his hand, Yu Chuan entered his cave dwelling.

The stone door closed tightly behind him; he walked to the deepest part of the cave until he reached the innermost room and stopped.

In this room, there was a Blood Pool filled with scarlet fresh blood, and the air was thick with a bloody scent.

As soon as Yu Chuan walked into the room, the blood in the pool surged, forming a human shape.

"I pay respects to Master!"

Seeing the man formed from blood in the pool, Yu Chuan immediately bowed, and after a respectful salute, he said.

"How did it go? Did you manage to get that Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine?"

The Blood Shadow man’s face was void of expression as he asked in a hoarse voice.

"Please punish me, Master, I did not bring back the Spirit Medicine!"

Yu Chuan’s face was icy as he immediately knelt on one knee. For many years, he had never failed in any task given by his Master. Yet today, he had made a precedent.

The Blood Shadow asked, puzzled, "What happened that resulted in you coming back empty-handed? Is that young man difficult to deal with?"

Yu Chuan replied through gritted teeth, "The Qin Family intervened!"

His heart was filled with hatred for both the Qin Family and Lin Chen—these two had embarrassed him in front of his Master, something unforgivable. How could a worthless person be worth the Qin Family’s protection? This was beyond his expectation.

The Blood Shadow casually spoke, "Qin Batian, that old coot, has actually meddled in the affairs of juniors. Despite all the calculations, I never expected him to intervene. Since the Qin Family has stepped in, let’s leave it be for now to avoid startling the snake."

But Yu Chuan still wanted to secure the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine for his Master. He knew how much his Master desired it upon learning of its existence.

"Master, are we just giving up?"

Yu Chuan frowned slightly, thinking giving up on the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine would be akin to doubting his own strength, and he did not want to fail at anything.

"The Qin Family has set their sights on that Spirit Medicine; your task is no longer to obtain it."

"With the Qin Family involved, nobody dares to touch that young man or the Spirit Medicine. You just need to calmly watch over that medicine and ensure it doesn’t fall into the hands of other true disciples," the Blood Shadow instructed after hearing Yu Chuan’s words, seemingly confident in the plan.

Yu Chuan nodded in understanding but still felt somewhat unwilling.

"Master, that’s a hundred-thousand-year-old Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine. Is the Qin Family really acting out of protection for this youth, or do they wish to claim the medicine for themselves?"

"Hehe, you worry too much."

"Although the effect of the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine is powerful, for Qin Batian that old undying, its power is ultimately limited. It could at most prolong his lifespan a bit. It is not likely to help him break through to the next cultivation realm. That old man values face; he would not engage in such actions. Besides, though he is an Ancestral Master, the Formation Sect wouldn’t let him have his way with a Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine that could create a new Nirvana Realm powerhouse. Don’t concern yourself with this matter. Your senior brother will soon be coming out of seclusion, and he’ll take over this issue. You focus on your cultivation and strive to surpass the other true disciples as soon as possible!"

After the Blood Shadow finished speaking, it dissolved into a pool of blood and returned to the Blood Pool.

The room fell silent, and as Yu Chuan watched the ripples in the Blood Pool and clenched his fists, a thumping sound emerged.

His Master always favored his senior brother, even helping him obtain the position of peak master before, and now, even with this matter, why couldn’t it be left to Yu Chuan to resolve?

Yu Chuan’s senior brother was none other than Ouyang Jin, the peak master of the fourth main peak, Tianyuan Peak! The blood figure earlier was a consciousness avatar formed by the Blood Spirit Technique, and its true body was of Ding Xingzheng, another Ancestral Master of the Formation Sect.

Ding Xingzheng, as one of the Ancestral Masters of the Formation Sect, was extremely discreet in his conduct, but once he took action, it was always a thunderous strike, utterly devastating his enemies.
