Chapter 883: Chapter 399: Aftermath of the Secret Realm, Teleportation

The third power lies between good and evil, leading to numerous surrounding forces due to the mutual restraint of both sides, some serving as a buffer zone struggling to survive.

There are also neutral forces on the periphery that rival any Sect, including numerous national powers.

"In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it’s ultimately about interests; as long as there are interests, conflict is unavoidable."

Through cultivation so far, Lin Chang’an understood that seeking a peaceful place to cultivate is unrealistic, unless he goes to the Spiritual Barren Land to dominate.

But if he wants to achieve Nascent Soul Formation, he needs to go to a place rich in Spiritual Energy.

"Currently, only these three places have cultivation resources that don’t lag behind the Demon Beast Abyss, and going there can plan for the Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered. Even though Yun Yao was in the Secret Realm, he was not one to live off others.

Moreover, the sooner he achieves Nascent Soul Formation, the sooner he can protect himself.

He also vaguely suspected that, having seen the glory of the past within the Secret Realm, how much Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Objects could remain after nearly ten thousand years of cultivators’ constant exploration?

Another concern is whether, after the Secret Realm closes, the restrictions will change and whether Yun Yao will be able to find her way back smoothly.

Of course, the more important reason is that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength is respected. If he were to wait eagerly for Yun Yao to provide him with resources, who knows what might happen in the meantime?

Moreover, he needs a place to cultivate right now.

Yun Yao stayed in the Secret Realm, considering this issue, so Lin Chang’an would wait in secret for a while. If Yun Yao remained inside safely, it would mean she chose to stay in the Secret Realm for cultivation.

"A slow step only leads to more delays. Early achievement of a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s status means not being at another’s mercy."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Chang’an’s gaze was resolute. Now, he had more than enough cultivation resources; what he lacked most was a stable place to cultivate and a Nascent Soul Formation Spiritual Object.

In the following days, after months of trials, Lin Chang’an finally found an ancient teleportation array deeply buried within an abandoned island at the sea bottom.

Upon inspection, the teleportation array was still functional.

According to records, it seemed to have been secretly set up by an ancient Sect, but, unfortunately, time is merciless, and the truth of many matters has been lost in the river of time.

However, after his inspection, Lin Chang’an did not immediately use it but returned first to the nearest Cultivator Market.

...

In a rented cultivation chamber at the market.

At this moment, Lin Chang’an closed his eyes, refining the icy lotus cold flame within his body.

After a long while, Lin Chang’an sighed and opened his eyes.

"I was too naïve. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator needs a hundred years to refine this cold flame. With my current strength, even with the help of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, it’s not something I can easily refine."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes showed a hint of helplessness. Having a treasure that could not be utilized was indeed uncomfortable.

Nonetheless, not all news was bad. Within his body, thirty-six Sun-piercing Divine Swords around the Golden Core slowly transformed into a golden tree, surrounding the icy lotus cold flame.

The forces of both attracted each other, forming some kind of complementarity.

He could clearly feel that the Sun-piercing Divine Swords were recovering their spirituality more quickly under the nourishment of this Yin Attribute spiritual flame.

"The icy lotus cold flame, even with the support of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine, refined only this trace."

Cross-legged inside the cultivation chamber, Lin Chang’an suddenly extended his finger with a ’sizzle’ sound, a wisp of ghastly white terrifying cold flame appeared at the tip.

Suddenly, the temperature inside the chamber plummeted, and a layer of frost slowly formed on the ground centered around him.

However, the next moment, with a snap of the fingers on Lin Chang’an’s other hand, a wisp of red flame appeared at the other fingertip.

Yet, this wisp of flame was purely Yang, and it was the spiritual flame of the Fusang Divine Tree.

Under the reflection of the different colored flames, Lin Chang’an’s face glowed with two strange colors.

"Using wood to control fire."

Immediately, the spiritual flames on Lin Chang’an’s fingertips began to attract each other at close range, seemingly wanting to merge into a new flame, but finally with a puff sound, both flames extinguished.

This brought a touch of helplessness to Lin Chang’an’s face.

"Indeed, after all, it is not easy to merge flames not sourced from the same origin. Given the current power, the icy lotus cold flame seems to be somewhat more powerful!"

With a solemn expression, Lin Chang’an deduced that it was not that the Fusang Divine Tree was lacking, but rather it had lost too much of its spirituality over endless years, resulting in its current lowest-tier flame status.

Thus, he sought to restore its spirituality.

Just then, a disdainful sneer emanated from within a scroll at his waist.

"Such lack of knowledge. Once the Fusang Divine Tree regains some spirituality, transforming into a yellow solar spiritual flame, the icy flame in your hand wouldn’t even count."

The scroll unfurled, revealing the ghost of a remnant soul in red, and upon seeing this, Lin Chang’an smiled.

"It seems fellow Daoist knows about this icy lotus cold flame?"

Yet, facing Lin Chang’an’s question, the remnant soul in red teased unusually, "Fellow Daoist didn’t post any sealing talisman?"

This scene caused Lin Chang’an to cough lightly twice. He was not very embarrassed, simply saying openly:

"I never thought fellow Daoist would have such a penchant for peeping. If fellow Daoist is fond of this, how about letting you have a thorough look next time?"

Earlier, while healing Yun Yao in the Secret Realm, he had casually placed a few sealing talismans to avoid being peeked upon.

Unexpectedly, that remnant soul still remembered this.

However, the remnant soul in red merely sneered disdainfully, seemingly looking down on such matters.

"This icy lotus was a spiritual object born through ten thousand years and experiencing heavenly tribulations. Whether it was lucky or unlucky under the restriction in the Secret Realm remains unknown.

Though spared from the calamity of heavenly tribulation destruction, it also missed a stroke of fortune, such that it has not yet developed spiritual wisdom. Yet, judging by the annual rings on this lotus seed, it seems to have aged considerably."
