During this period, Lin Chen’s cultivation improved repeatedly since, upon entering the Secret Realm, his cultivation was only at the Fifth Layer of the Human-Heaven Realm.
The resources within the Secret Realm are incredibly rich, and not just Lin Chen, but martial artists of other factions have also made breakthroughs.
In fact, Lin Chen could have advanced to the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm in one go, but he was worried about attracting too much attention. If other factions noticed, it might bring unnecessary trouble.
Besides, advancing through two realm layers in succession might lead to an unstable foundation, and Lin Chen did not want to damage his Martial Path’s foundation.
Lin Chen has been in the Divine Flame Secret Realm for three months now, and it is time to return to the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent. His gains this time were quite substantial, and he believes his ranking within the Divine Flame Alliance should not be too low.
Lin Chen has already established a transportation portal with the Greyflame Tribe and Cloud Sky City, allowing him to return at any time without needing to wait another three hundred years.
However, Lin Chen does not intend to let other factions know about this transportation portal, even the Formation Sect, which he must consider carefully before revealing.
Of course, if he were to inform them, he would only tell those who are extremely close to him.
If the existence of the transportation portal was exposed, it would inevitably cause a huge commotion in the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent, as countless factions would want to make use of this Teleportation Array.
Although the power of the Jade Cauldron Sect is not weak at present, and the giants of the Greyflame Tribe are very obedient to him, the power under Lin Chen’s command is not inferior to the other factions of the Divine Flame Sect. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovelHub(.)net
When Lin Chen stepped out of the seclusion chamber, the Sky Howling Demon Wolf immediately raced over.
"Master, have you ended your seclusion?"
"Congratulations on your cultivation breakthrough!"
The Sky Howling Demon Wolf flattered immediately.
Lin Chen glanced at it; this fellow had been faithfully guarding the place during his seclusion.
"Has anything unusual happened in the tribe?"
Lin Chen asked indifferently, most concerned about whether Ge’an and Yan Feng had managed the affairs of the Greyflame Tribe well during his seclusion, to avoid coveting from other tribes.
After all, the Greyflame Tribe’s business has been growing, which could easily stir up envy.
"Don’t worry, boss, nothing major can go wrong with me here."
The Sky Howling Demon Wolf said proudly.
Indeed, during Lin Chen’s seclusion, some Giant Tribes attempted to buy weapons at a lower price, even threatening to use martial force.
However, under the deterrence of the Sky Howling Demon Wolf, those tribes immediately dared not make any further moves.
Of course, another reason was that the Greyflame Tribe had grown strong and feared no threats from other forces.
If they truly angered the Greyflame Tribe, those forces would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
During this time, the strength of the giants in the Greyflame Tribe had increased significantly, thanks in large part to the assistance of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
The Jade Cauldron Sect not only provided them with weapons and armor but also taught Talisman Inscription and turned the commonly used Spiritual Medicines into elixirs, greatly enhancing the medicinal effects.
This made the Greyflame Tribe’s giants almost invincible during hunts, and their reputation quickly spread throughout the East Continent.
Many tribes, when buying weapons, also requested the Greyflame Tribe’s help in clearing nearby Magical Beasts.
This was a rule set by Lin Chen: the tribes purchasing weapons are eligible to make such requests, but whether to act on them is up to the Greyflame Tribe.
In fact, previously, some weaker tribes had made similar requests to larger tribes, including the Iron Mountain Tribe.
For larger tribes, it was easy to kill the powerful Magical Beasts that threatened the smaller tribes.
But the Iron Mountain Tribe refused, they had their plans, hoping to wait for the Magical Beasts to destroy the smaller tribes before stepping in to help and thus subdue the smaller tribes.
In contrast, the Greyflame Tribe almost always agreed to the requests, simply demanding some stones as the condition.
Naturally, the corpses of the slain Magical Beasts belonged to them, as this was akin to hunting.
Before entering seclusion, Lin Chen had provided the Greyflame Tribe’s giants with Space Rings, which significantly saved transportation time for Magical Beast corpses.
Since the Magical Beast corpses were too large, a Space Ring could only contain half of one.
Therefore, the giants had to dissect the beasts in the field, separating the materials and flesh for transport.
These materials and Demon Cores must all be handed over to the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect, because only Lin Chen and the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect could maximize their use.
The actions of the Greyflame Tribe have kept raising their prestige among other tribes.
In recent years, the Iron Mountain Tribe has offered less and less aid to neighboring tribes, leading to dissatisfaction among smaller tribes. Yet due to Iron Mountain Tribe’s strength, they dared not speak up.
However, the rise of the Greyflame Tribe has satisfied them.
At this moment, Lin Chen has ended his seclusion; Deng Yue, Yan Ruyu, Jiang Jiayun, and the other four women are overjoyed, finally able to leave the Secret Realm.
When entering the Secret Realm, the elders of the Sect emphasized that they must leave within four months, or else the next Teleportation Gate would not open for another three hundred years.
That is to say, if they did not leave now, they would have to wait another three hundred years.
Although the Secret Realm is rich in resources, it is fraught with danger. Had it not been for the relationship between Lin Chen and the Giants, they might have perished in the jaws of Magical Beasts long ago.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, you’ve finally ended your seclusion; let’s get out of here, I don’t want to stay here for three hundred years."
Yan Ruyu and Jiang Jiayun urged Lin Chen anxiously as they saw him leave the chambers.
Living with giants, they indeed felt pressured, and this was not the life they wanted.
The five women did not know about Lin Chen’s construction of the Teleportation Array, and Lin Chen had also placed the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect in the chambers, keeping them in the dark.
