Chapter 841: Chapter 841: Delving into Swordsmanship

Over the years, with the help of the resources Lin Chen obtained from the Void Continent, the Jade Cauldron Sect has developed rapidly with a significant enhancement in overall strength.

Now, the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army is strong enough to stand on its own, becoming an elite force.

In comparison, the army of Red Soul Hall seems to be far inferior.

In the past two to three years of battle, the Jade Cauldron Sect has achieved victory in every fight.

With two years of development, Zhangyang Country and Zhenning Country have completely fallen into the hands of the Jade Cauldron Sect.

The Jade Cauldron Sect has established many formations and defensive fortresses in these two countries, but it has not dispatched a large number of troops to garrison, leaving only a few units to guard them.

For the Jade Cauldron Sect, the territories of these two countries are merely buffer zones on the battlefield.

Once the Red Soul Hall makes a move, the stationed troops of the Jade Cauldron Sect can react swiftly.

At that time, the Jade Cauldron Sect will again dispatch troops to these two superior vassal states to combat the Red Soul Hall.

This strategy is aimed at ensuring stability, as after all, if the Red Soul Hall truly intends to attack the Jade Cauldron Sect, it would not immediately reach Cloud Sky City.

Furthermore, the defensive fortresses built by the Jade Cauldron Sect in these two countries are exceptionally sturdy and not easy to breach.

In these two-plus years, aside from the rapid development of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army, with over a million soldiers, the Lingxi Commerce Guild has also achieved considerable growth.

Nowadays, the guild’s influence has spread throughout the Eastern Domain, and the goods it sells are well-received, with various major powers vying to purchase them.

Whenever the Lingxi Commerce Guild has a new batch of goods on the market, they almost always sell out immediately, with many powers even making advance pre-orders.

The Lingxi Commerce Guild’s clientele includes not only the Human Race but also the Demon Race.

During the battle against the Dark Demon Race’s army, Lin Chen sold Demon-Removing Talismans and Demon-Suppressing Talismans to the Demon Race, helping to establish a deep relationship.

Therefore, the Demon Race is grateful to the Jade Cauldron Sect. Without the talisman inscriptions provided by Lin Chen, the losses of the Demon Race in battle would have been immeasurable.

Despite the cessation of the war, this does not mean peace has arrived.

It must be noted that although the army of the Dark Demon Race was greatly annihilated over these two to three years, there are still millions that have survived on the Mysterious Heaven Continent and have settled down.

This is undeniably a disaster for the entire Eastern Domain.

The Dark Demon Race feeds on all living beings, and in these two-plus years, many of the Dark Demon Race martial artists have significantly increased their strength.

According to the scouts’ reports, there have even emerged martial artists of the Dark Demon Race in the Half-Step Nirvana Realm.

Should they continue to grow, the entire Eastern Domain would be plunged into great turmoil, ultimately leaving no one able to suppress them.

The Dark Demon Race has colluded with the Red Soul Hall. To subjugate the Dark Demon Race, one must first deal with the difficult problem of the Red Soul Hall.

Therefore, the Divine Flame Alliance is currently unable to divert forces to deal with the Dark Demon Race.

As for the Demon Race, their strength can only contend with the army of the Dark Demon Race and hard-pressed to protect themselves, let alone eradicate the Dark Demon Race.

In the end, the only reliable power is the Divine Flame Alliance itself.

Hence, Lin Chen must unify the various powers of the Divine Flame Alliance, as the mere 170,000-strong army in the Endless Sky Mountain Range is far from sufficient.

Over these two to three years, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division, apart from constructing Yunfei City, also transported the successive materials acquired to Cloud Sky City and carried out construction there.

Currently, only the former Divine Flame City remains unfinished, so Lin Chen decided to let half of Yunfei City’s workforce return to the Divine Flame Sect for construction.

This way, once war breaks out, the foundation of the Jade Cauldron Sect will not be destroyed.

Among the three major cities of the Jade Cauldron Sect, originally the Divine Flame Sect was the center, but now both Cloud Sky City and Yunfei City have made significant progress, with Divine Flame City becoming the most backward place.

Lin Chen spent several days dealing with nearly half a year’s backlog of affairs.

Although he had delegated authority to Xu Ma’an, the achievements of the Jade Cauldron Sect today are entirely the result of Lin Chen’s personal efforts.

Therefore, for many matters, Xu Ma’an is temporarily unable to make decisions, fearing that problems may arise under his watch.

After handling the sect’s affairs, Lin Chen began studying various martial arts.

Since Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division shares the Divine Soul with his main body, as long as the Second Soul Division learns certain martial arts skills, Lin Chen’s main body can also grasp them.

During his time at the Formation Sect, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division independently studied martial arts, but he was unable to fully comprehend many of them at the time.

Therefore, this time Lin Chen invited Yang Yuemin, Xu Lianyu, and Zhao Yijing to study together.

These martial arts, having been found in the ruins of ancient sects from the Void Continent, are no ordinary matter.

The four of them, with the notion that there is strength in numbers, began to study in depth.

For Lin Chen, the martial arts prowess of Yang Yuemin, Xu Lianyu, and Zhao Yijing is hard to surpass by anyone else in the Eastern Domain.

These three have helped the Jade Cauldron Sect organize numerous martial arts, being deeply influenced by profound martial arts and already reaching heights unattainable by others. Even Lin Chen’s current knowledge in martial arts is not as extensive as theirs since he has spent a lot of time in cultivation or adventuring outside.

With their joint efforts, Lin Chen’s level of martial arts prowess has once again improved.

Lin Chen discussed the swordsmanship he created with the three women, who immediately highlighted the deficiencies within Lin Chen’s Swordsmanship and helped him perfect it.

Creating and refining swordsmanship with Lin Chen not only enhanced his own power, but the three women also gained a lot of insights. Benefitting from years of martial arts knowledge, they reaped great benefits.

While Lin Chen was perfecting his sword technique, the three women’s own strength also rapidly increased.

In less than half a year, Yang Yuemin became the most powerful individual within the Jade Cauldron Sect, apart from Lin Chen, with strength surpassing Xu Ma’an.

The strength of Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu also grew significantly, eliciting envy from many within the Jade Cauldron Sect, with even Xu Ma’an full of admiration.

Although he is the Sect Master, it seems as if everyone’s strength is surpassing his. However, what shocked them the most was the swordsmanship Lin Chen had created.
