Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Outshining the Old Days
Lin Chen arrived at the Territorial Hall, which is the center of the Formation Sect’s regional power division.
Wishing to exchange for a vassal state, he naturally had to come here, not the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.
Upon reaching the Territorial Hall, Lin Chen immediately sought out a Law Enforcement Elder to explain his purpose for visiting.
The Elder, having heard of Lin Chen’s current status, showed a fair amount of respect and quickly brought out an exchange catalog for Lin Chen to choose from.
The news of Lin Chen receiving first-class merits had already spread among the upper echelons of the Formation Sect.
None of the powers within the Formation Sect wanted to offend Lin Chen by neglecting him; after all, he still possessed a significant amount of Spiritual Medicine.
After the incident with the Elders Council, although people did not dare to openly make moves against Lin Chen, they hoped to establish a good relationship with him, possibly to exchange for some Spiritual Medicine from him.
Lin Chen wanted to exchange for a vassal state because he felt that trading for an amount of cultivation resources would be too large for the Formation Sect to produce on short notice, which might leave the Sect’s Treasury somewhat depleted for a while.
By exchanging for a vassal state, Lin Chen would not only be able to resolve Jade Cauldron Sect’s predicament in Cloud Sky City but also expand his sphere of influence.
Someday he intended to lead the Jade Cauldron Sect to become as vast as the Formation Sect, or even surpass it.
Hence, expanding the territory was only a matter of time.
Moreover, since Cloud Sky City was located within the territory of Frost Chill Kingdom, close to both Zhangyang Country and Zhenning Country, any significant action by Jade Cauldron Kingdom might be discovered by the armies of the Red Soul Hall, leading to targeted attacks.
Therefore, Lin Chen wanted to develop his power secretly.
He browsed through the catalog in his hand and eventually chose a remote vassal state—Yunfei Kingdom.
Yunfei Kingdom’s geographical location was extremely secluded, and the number of martial artists there was scant, with no significant production resources, leading to long-term direct governance by the Formation Sect which, in reality, paid it little attention...
At that moment, the Elder was surprised to see Lin Chen choose Yunfei Kingdom, the most remote among the second-rank vassal states.
"Nephew Lin Chen, Yunfei Kingdom is the most remote among all vassal states, are you sure you want to exchange for it?"
"I suggest you reconsider, as this vassal state will be hard to develop."
The Elder was internally astonished that Lin Chen would select such a desolate second-rank vassal state as Yunfei Kingdom.
Despite Yunfei Kingdom’s vast size, its excessive geographical isolation made it nearly impossible to establish connections with other nations, possessing only a few native martial artists and very scarce resources.
"No need, I’ll exchange for this one."
Without further explanation, Lin Chen insisted on exchanging for Yunfei Kingdom; he had his own plans.
Seeing Lin Chen’s determination, the Elder said no more. Having given his warning, the outcome was no longer his concern.
Afterward, the Elder handed a command token to Lin Chen.
With this command token, Lin Chen could go to Yunfei Kingdom, where the local people would hand over authority to him, and the kingdom, along with its martial artists, would follow his command.
Lin Chen was about to head to the Luoyun Mountain Range and would not personally visit Yunfei Kingdom.
He created a Divine Soul Puppet, took the items intended for the Second Soul Division, and set out for Cloud Sky City.
That day, the Formation Sect mobilized several large armies from its War Department, with martial artists riding on flying boats across the sky, casting a shadow over the land.
"Truly spectacular!"
At this moment, Qin Kaifeng, who had longed to join the War Department, witnessed the massive military assembly of the Formation Sect and couldn’t help but feel awed.
Lin Chen glanced at the great army and said nothing more, silently thinking of Qin Kaifeng as a country bumpkin.
Despite the impressive might of the Formation Sect’s War Department, it seemed somewhat lacking in comparison to the army of Jade Cauldron Kingdom.
The individual cultivation levels of Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s army might not match those warriors, but in terms of overall momentum, their advantage was overwhelming.
At that moment, after the army had finished gathering, another group of martial artists joined, and it turned out to be people from Mu Qianqiu Sword Pavilion, including Wu Chao, Dongfang Yun, and Xu Hai.
Lin Chen noticed that Wu Chao’s cultivation had also made a breakthrough in these two months, reaching the Second Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Clearly, the previous venture into the Luoyun Mountain Range’s ruins had greatly benefited him.
Lin Chen also saw a familiar face, Chu Zisa, the one who had brought him to the Formation Sect a year ago.
Now, Chu Zisa’s cultivation had significantly increased since their first meeting, reaching the Third Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
But when he saw Lin Chen, he could only offer a wry smile.
Chu Zisa had foreseen that Lin Chen would shine brightly upon joining the Formation Sect, but he hadn’t anticipated such rapid growth, with Lin Chen now holding first-class merits.
After all, first-class merits signified a prestigious status equal to that of Law Enforcement Elders and Peak Masters.
If Lin Chen made a mistake, even his punishment would have to be decided by the Elders Council.
Furthermore, Lin Chen’s close relationship with the Qin Family provided him with a formidable backing within the Formation Sect.
"Brother Lin Chen, you are now enjoying unlimited glory; I hope you will take good care of your older brother in the future."
Chu Zisa looked at Lin Chen and bowed respectfully.
Lin Chen waved his hand, indicating that Chu Zisa need not be so formal.
Chu Zisa had once thought that after Lin Chen entered the Formation Sect, he would certainly achieve great things, but he never expected such a rapid advance, obtaining first-class merits so swiftly.
