Lin Qian's comings and goings are naturally due to the rewards he received in the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest being too abundant for his mind to bear all at once. He must leave, refine, and digest them before he can enter again.
Ye Xin's situation is similar to his, except that her trials in the Illusion Realm are far more challenging than Lin Qian's. Without the strategies compiled by Zhuge Ming from the Heavenly Art Department, she naturally doesn't compare to her husband.
However, in some respects, Ye Xin is even stronger than Lin Qian, because she is a versatile talent, dabbling in artifact refining, alchemy, and array formations, with impressive achievements in all.
In contrast, Lin Qian is somewhat anxious in this regard.
The intangible wealth of the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest is akin to an illusion of life's journey, filled with complex trials and valuable experiences.
The situations within the Illusion Realm naturally involve activities such as alchemy and artifact refining, but these areas pose considerable difficulty for Lin Qian.
If Zhuge Ming weren't gradually teaching him, he might have failed his trials in the Illusion Realm.
According to Xuan Flame, if one does not fail even once during their trials in the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, enormous benefits could be obtained.
However, as for what these great benefits are, she doesn't know.
After all, sites like the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest are owned by numerous forces in the Upper Realm, and the rewards depend on what the original force of this specific forest placed within it.
This unknown reward aroused immense curiosity in Lin Qian.
Therefore, Lin Qian set a goal for himself to complete the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest without a single failure, to see what kind of reward he could receive.
The deeper one ventures into the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, the more fruitful the rewards become.
As time went on, Lin Qian's speed at refining the purple energy gained increased, and his soul strength was constantly improving.
Eventually, even within a few days, Lin Qian could refine the purple energy to enhance his soul strength.
Lin Qian's miracles in the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest have already caused a stir throughout the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, with countless outer court students drawn to the Stele at the Enchanting Soul Forest's entrance, eager to see if the rankings on the Stele are as rumored.
Additionally, many inner court students left the inner court specifically to visit the Stele at the Enchanting Soul Forest to verify the authenticity of the rankings.
Almost without exception, everyone who arrived at the Enchanting Forest's outer court was astounded by the rankings on the Stele.
"I didn't expect such an extraordinary person to emerge. The time we take for one step is probably enough for him to take thousands of steps, right?"
"Are there really thousands of steps in the Enchanting Soul Forest?"
"We don't know, but I remember the highest step count in the Enchanting Soul Forest is around one hundred and thirty-seven?"
"That's right, but this is an outer court student's record. Many inner court students, when feeling idle, also attempt to break this Enchanting Soul Forest record, don't they?"
"The highest record set by an inner court student seems to be two hundred and thirty-two steps."
In the inner court, there is also a Trial Land where the soul's enhancement far surpasses that of the Enchanting Soul Forest.
But they don't know that this Enchanting Soul Forest is actually called the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest. The rewards they received were minimized to an unknown extent after being weakened; thus, the rewards seem incomparable to those of the inner court's Trial Land.
Even the creators of the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest would not have expected such a situation to occur.
"Here comes Lin Qian again," someone suddenly exclaimed, pointing at a figure flying towards them from afar.
Lin Qian, at this moment, had already reached the forty-th step. If he continued forward by ten more steps, he would reach half of Yan Qin's record. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩
According to the agreement, Yan Qin would have to fulfill a bet and commit suicide in front of him.
Lin Qian paid no heed to the gazes around him, proceeding on his own into the forest, while simultaneously an idea emerged in his mind.
"Right, this Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, surely the Empire can replicate one, right?" After so many days of studying the structure of the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, the Heavenly Art Department and the Fire Department should have a clear understanding.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, Zhuge Ming's voice respectfully echoed in his mind: "Indeed, as Your Majesty said, replicating this Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest isn't difficult; it's very easy."
"If that's the case, why not replicate several and use them as training grounds for the Huaxia Empire, though slight modifications are needed."
"For example, they can be designed in the shape of a tower, layered upward, and rank the Empire's Soul Martial Artists based on levels. The soul requirements don't need to be too high, allowing ordinary Soul Martial Artists to also endure the trials of this place and enhance themselves."
For Lin Qian's suggestion, Zhuge Ming naturally nodded in agreement, showing his full support: "However, Your Majesty, what should this place be named? How about I..."
"No, don't name it; I've already thought about it. Let's call it the Enchanting Tower."
"As Your Majesty commands!"
Re-entering the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest, Lin Qian continued to break through the illusions with a speed that outsiders found terrifying, going through countless cycles and expanding his experiences.
In a very short time, people saw the number of steps next to Lin Qian's name on the Stele change, and his rank climbed rapidly and astonishingly.
A step every few breaths, or occasionally after a hundred breaths, left people in awe.
Before long, Lin Qian had reached the fiftieth step, already half of Yan Qin's record, meaning that according to the bet, the opposite party had to take their own life.
Under normal circumstances, after crossing ten steps, Lin Qian would have left the Enchanting Soul Forest and returned a while later, but this time seemed different.
"He keeps moving forward; it seems this time, Lin Qian intends to take many more steps in one go."
"Do you think Lin Qian will surpass Yan Qin all at once?"
"That's very possible."
This change in Lin Qian was entirely due to a new soul skill he developed in discussion with Zhuge Ming.
As the ruler of the Huaxia Empire, Lin Qian could naturally harness the national fortune within his mind.
According to his plan, taking a few steps and then leaving is a waste of time and effort.
He and Zhuge Ming ultimately came up with a solution to this issue, deciding to directly complete the trials of the Reincarnation Purple Wood Forest in one go, reaching the endpoint.
By then, the Sea Spiral Holy Institute would be utterly shaken.
