The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 207: Return to the Sect

What is this?

Chen An stared at his Purple Mansion, carefully observing what was inside.

The white tower looked like it was made of white jade, but there was a misty aura spreading from it, as if it originated from chaos, especially deep and mysterious.

Chen An observed for a while, but there was no movement.

This white tower was like a dead object, always silent in his Purple Mansion, no matter how he activated it, there was no response.

"What's going on?"

Chen An was puzzled.

Without a doubt, this white tower was what he drew down from the Heavenly Pillar.

And before, the other two people only linked the Seven Heaven Ladder, and they already obtained treasures like the Pinnacle Artifact.

The two before were so strong, they wouldn't slack off when they got to him, right?

He drew down the Nine Heaven Ladder, and the rewards he got should be better than the previous two, right?

Chen An had many thoughts in his mind.

Finally, he, with a try-it-out attitude, injected a bit of divine power into the white tower.

The Purple Mansion immediately boiled, divine power poured into the white tower, as if something had been opened.

Chen An instantly had a unique feeling.

He seemed to have opened a unique space, right inside the white tower.

"This is."

Feeling this scene, he was first stunned, then slightly surprised, "It can still be like this!"

Next, he began his testing.

He placed various spiritual herbs he had collected inside the white tower.

Indeed, there was a huge unique space inside the white tower, no matter how much he put in, the space remained the same, as if it could never be filled.

This was equivalent to having a huge storage space, and it was portable.

Not bad.

Chen An felt a bit better.

The white tower obviously had an extraordinary origin, but for some reason, it was still in a broken state at the moment, silent in his Purple Mansion.

But even so, this white tower was quite extraordinary. Although it couldn't be activated like a normal artifact, at least it could serve as a large storage bag.

Not bad.

He thought to himself, and then continued with the testing.

The results of the testing came quickly.

The space inside the white tower was not static, time flowed inside as well.

After things were placed inside, if there was not enough preservation method, whatever was supposed to expire would still expire.

As for living things, they could also be placed inside, but for a limited time. If left for too long, they would turn into corpses when taken out.

After several tests, Chen An finally confirmed these.

And then he was at ease.

"There's still more than half a month left, I can search around."

Chen An stood in place, looking at the distant land, a thought flashed through his mind.

He had spent a lot of time on this journey, plus his previous practice of the Spiritualizing Art, the time he spent sensing the Heavenly Pillar, now there wasn't much time left until the three months' deadline.

But that didn't matter.

Chen An had been lurking around this area for so long, he was already familiar with the terrain around here.

Half a month's time, if used wisely, would be enough.

With this thought in mind, he wasted no time and quickly began to act.

Half a month later.

One by one, people walked out of the secret realm and were forcibly expelled.

The deadline for three months had arrived, so whether you liked it or not, you would be expelled from the secret realm according to the rules.

And most likely, they wouldn't be able to come back later.

Chen An was among the crowd.

There were dense crowds of cultivators everywhere, and everywhere you looked there were people, making it a bit overwhelming.

Most of these people carried a lot of things on them, some were spiritual herbs and treasures, while others were scriptures and the like.

All of these were undoubtedly things obtained from the secret realm, and they all looked quite divine, obviously good things.

In theory, with so many good things obtained, the atmosphere here should be quite harmonious.

But in reality, it wasn't.

With interest, Chen An looked at the scene around him, finding it quite interesting.

Most of the people standing nearby looked regretful.

"Too bad, just a little bit more!"

"My precious medicine!"

"Give me a few more days, I am sure I will have a big harvest, maybe even break through one or two more realms."

Regretful voices echoed around.

It seemed that these people not only had obtained something in the secret realm, but they also wanted more.

It was quite normal.

After all, people were always like this.

What they already had didn't matter, it was the things they didn't have yet that mattered.

Chen An looked at these people's reactions with interest, until someone walked up to him and greeted him.

It was a middle-aged cultivator with a serious expression, from the Taiyin Sect based on his attire, his face was filled with coldness.

He walked up to Chen An, looked at him and said in a flat tone, "Goods."

Chen An then reacted.

He didn't say anything, just took out a medicine bag and opened it.

Inside, a bunch of spiritual herbs and treasures were exposed, attracting the attention of many people around.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

Because compared to the people around him, what Chen An obtained was actually quite ordinary, just average.

But considering Chen An's cultivation and background, it was quite good that he could get so many things.

After all, not everyone had the identity, background, and resources to support them all the way to the Heavenly Pillar.

And if you couldn't reach the Heavenly Pillar, and searched around the periphery of the secret realm, the things you could collect would be just like these.

Pretty normal, right?

"Mm, you can go now."

The Taiyin Sect cultivator looked at Chen An for a moment, making sure nothing was missing, then nodded.

Of course, before leaving, he also took some things from Chen An's medicine bag.

Chen An looked and was somewhat surprised.

Not because too much was taken, but because relatively little was taken.

According to previous statements, the Taiyin Sect would take half of his harvest, but in fact, not so much was taken, leaving some for Chen An.

So fair?

Chen An was a bit surprised.

He originally thought that the Taiyin Sect would be a bit sneaky, saying half verbally, but actually taking most of your harvest.

He didn't expect that they still had a bit of conscience.

Chen An sighed silently, feeling a bit ashamed, thinking he was thinking too badly of people.

After the spiritual herbs were taken away, he was given a token, holding this token you could directly return to the residence of the Haoshan Sect through the array.

Before leaving, Chen An looked around.

In various areas, there were many riots happening at the moment.

For many people, they were still honest, not prepared to make any small moves.

But with so many people around, there were always some who had some thoughts.

But without exception, all these people were caught.

Then, let alone half of the harvest, all of their harvest would be cleared out, all of it accepted by the Taiyin Sect.

Watching these scenes, Chen An shook his head silently.

His sense of qi was very sensitive, he could clearly sense that there were many inexplicable senses around.

Those spiritual senses were subtle but powerful, at least at the level of Golden Core, and maybe even above, secretly watching.

With these people secretly watching, if they wanted to hide, it would be impossible to succeed.

Of course, not everyone would be caught.

Those with special means wouldn't be caught either.

Like Chen An.

The harvest he took out earlier was just a small part of his true harvest.

As for the real big gains, they had already been stored in the white tower.

The white tower had an independent space, although it seemed ordinary, its effect was outstanding.

At least, no one had noticed anything unusual about the white tower along his journey, let alone the treasures hidden inside.

After watching the show for a while, Chen An turned and left.

Holding the token, he walked into the array, and then followed several stewards of the Haoshan Sect to return to the Haoshan Sect.

Back in the Haoshan Sect, Chen An was stunned.

In all directions, he saw several familiar faces.

Such as Liu Roujun.

The cultivators sent out by the Haoshan Sect this time all returned together, so Chen An and Liu Roujun naturally returned at the same time.

After the journey through the secret realm, Liu Roujun's cultivation seemed to have advanced again, reaching the third layer of Qi Refinement at the moment.

This speed, relative to the time she had been practicing, was already quite remarkable.

It seemed that sensing Chen An's gaze, Liu Roujun turned back, showing a hint of surprise on her face as well.

Because she suddenly realized that Chen An's cultivation level had caught up with her.

Before entering the secret realm, she had already reached the second layer of Qi Refinement, while Chen An was still at the stage of opening up his Purple Mansion, barely reaching the first layer of Qi Refinement.

The gap between the two had already widened.

But unexpectedly, after this trip to the secret realm, Chen An's cultivation had suddenly caught up, instantly reaching the third layer of Qi Refinement, on par with her.

How did he do it?

Liu Roujun was puzzled.

She herself had worked hard in the secret realm, and also had some unexpected opportunities, finding several spiritual fruits and herbs, which at least reduced her labor by ten years.

But in the end, she was still caught up by Chen An, their cultivations were at the same level.

How did he do it?

Liu Roujun felt puzzled.

If she knew about Chen An's experiences, she probably wouldn't be surprised by this.

After all, Chen An had stayed in the core area of the Heavenly Pillar for three months.

The core area of the Heavenly Pillar was full of natural treasures, various rare spiritual fruits and herbs that were not abundant but not rare either.

Not to mention that Chen An also refined the blood essence divinity of several Gold Core exotic beasts.

These were unimaginable great fortunes.

Nourished by such a huge amount of spiritual power and divinity, Chen An's martial cultivation had advanced by one level, and now he was already at the Second Layer of Innate.

As for his Qi Refinement cultivation, although it was not deliberately improved, it had also advanced by two steps due to the nourishment of the enormous divinity, and now was at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement.

Liu Roujun soon calmed down.

The other party's swift advancement in the secret realm couldn't mean anything, it could only mean that the other party had better luck than her.

But she believed that as long as she kept firm and continued on her path, she would eventually leave Chen An behind.
