"Everyone who is transported into this ancient relic arrives in a different location, and the restrictions within the relic cut off Divine Sense perception and Jade Slip messaging. However, Senior Sister’s Cultivation is so powerful, she will certainly be fine,"
Xu Lianyu, hearing that Zhao Yijing wasn’t at Lin Chen’s side, wasn’t worried, because she believed Zhao Yijing’s strength was formidable, making it unlikely for her to encounter danger within the relic. She was confident in Zhao Yijing’s abilities, so she wasn’t anxious about her safety.
But what she overlooked was the fact that Zhao Yijing’s strength had clearly reached the Heaven-reaching Realm, and by all logic she shouldn’t have been able to enter the relic. Yet, Zhao Yijing had, which obviously defied common sense.
Only Lin Chen knew that Zhao Yijing was able to enter because she had been seriously injured and her Cultivation had plummeted, possibly leading the restrictions to judge her as below the level of the Heaven-reaching Realm.
But Lin Chen didn’t mention this. If Xu Lianyu knew the truth, she would certainly stop at nothing to seek revenge for Zhao Yijing. But were the assassins from the Moon Shadow Pavilion so easily provoked?
Seeing Lin Chen remain silent, Lin Chen thought it was because he was without Zhao Yijing’s protection and feared being bullied within the relic. She immediately stepped forward to Lin Chen’s side and patted his shoulder.
"Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter that Senior Sister is not here, I’ll protect you,"
said Xu Lianyu with full confidence.
Lin Chen didn’t know why Xu Lianyu suddenly felt so confident. Looking over, he realized that Xu Lianyu’s previously suppressed Cultivation from her time in the Mire Dragon Marsh Secret Realm had now recovered. She was currently at the Seventh Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, no wonder she was so confident.
Indeed, as the granddaughter of Xu Ma’an, Sect Master of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Xu Lianyu naturally had access to the best treasures and Cultivation Resources. Her Cultivation Technique was profound, and at a young age, she had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, her combat power extremely formidable.
Otherwise, how could she be known as the Little Witch within the Jade Cauldron Sect?
After chatting with Xu Lianyu and the other two Senior Sisters, Lin Chen returned to the group.
However, upon returning, Lin Chen noticed several familiar figures.
There were more than a dozen disciples from their Jade Cauldron Sect, including Lin Chen, her Senior Sisters, and Yu Xianglu. Compared to the disciples from other Sects, they were relatively fewer.
Among them was Baili Wentian, who had always been at odds with Lin Chen.
Although Lin Chen had not directly feuded with him, due to Baili Chuifeng’s sake, Lin Chen had already developed an irreconcilable grudge with the Baili Clan.
Baili Chuifeng was now a fallen man within the Jade Cauldron Sect, his future wrecked, and the Baili Family would not easily let Lin Chen off the hook.
At this moment, as Lin Chen glanced sideways, Baili Wentian’s eyes also landed on Lin Chen, immediately the color of hatred barely concealed in his bloodshot eyes.
Lin Chen smiled indifferently. He was not afraid that Baili Wentian would harbor any ill intentions towards him.
The Lin Chen of today was not the same newcomer who had just entered the Jade Cauldron Sect. Not only had his Cultivation broken through an entire major realm, but he also had many more cards up his sleeve.
Lin Chen thought to himself, hoping Baili Wentian would not foolishly provoke him like his brother did, or else Lin Chen could make him stay in this relic forever.
At this moment, beside Baili Wentian, Lin Chen saw another figure. Although Lin Chen didn’t know him well, he had some impression—it was Zhao Si, the lackey who had been with Xu San. His Cultivation was at the Third Layer of the Melding Earth Realm, and he, too, was looking at Lin Chen with ill intentions.
The way they were acting at the moment seemed as if they were plotting to trip up Lin Chen.
Behind them, the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect also wore sneers on their faces. Although they didn’t speak, their expressions made it clear they were disdainful of Lin Chen, as if to say that by offending their master, Lin Chen was going to suffer the consequences.
Lin Chen didn’t pay them much attention. Now that the disciples of various Sects had gathered, there must be important matters at hand. Moreover, with Xu Lianyu and others present, they wouldn’t dare do anything to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen then began to survey the situation before him. He saw that on the plaza, there were a total of twelve tall stone pillars, each engraved with numerous patterns. Google seaʀᴄh NoveIＦire.net
After observing, Lin Chen could confirm that these arrays were definitely relics of ancient times.
"Senior Sister, what’s the deal with these stone pillars, and why are there so many statue-like figures that can move?"
"And those people over there, trapped inside those light barriers, what’s going on, and those patterns of light on the ground?"
Upon realizing he couldn’t see through the enigma, Lin Chen turned to Xu Lianyu for answers.
At this moment, on the Stone Pillar Plaza, the patterns on the ground seemed to form many light spheres as part of an array network.
Some light spheres trapped Martial Artists inside, while others slowly vanished, leaving behind stone sculptures that looked like human statues.
Lin Chen intuitively felt there was something strange going on, probably related to the Formation on site.
Hearing this, Xu Lianyu shared the details of the site with Lin Chen.
It turned out that the Stone Pillar Plaza held immense opportunities, and the light spheres Lin Chen saw were where these opportunities resided.
Besides, above the plaza, in a terraced arrangement, more light spheres would appear, rotating around the plaza, allowing people to enter them in sequence.
Once Martial Artists stepped onto the glowing pattern on the stone pillar plaza, the light spheres would envelop those who had entered the Formation. Subsequently, countless stone Puppet statues resembling human figures would appear, fighting against those attempting to seize the opportunities.
If Martial Artists killed these Stone Puppets, a treasure chest would appear in the original location of the light sphere, containing the relic’s legacy.
At this moment, the Martial Artists who arrived here had already obtained legacies, including High-Grade Spiritual Medicine, magic treasures, and transmissions of Cultivation Techniques, among other Treasures.
