Chapter 843: Chapter 843: Bright Moon Commerce Guild

The Divine Flame Secret Realm was originally a natural secret realm formed by heaven and earth.

Thousands of years ago, the six great powers of the Divine Flame Alliance fought incessantly. Eventually, each of them used their spells to seal the secret realm, making it a jointly owned possession of the six great superpowers.

The secret realm was set to open once every three hundred years, and each opening required the six great superpowers to jointly lift the seal.

Calculating the time, it has now just happened to reach the tri-centennial cycle, and the spiritual medicines within the secret realm must have matured.

Inside the secret realm, resources are abundant, which for all the disciples, presents an excellent opportunity to improve their cultivation. Naturally, there are also dangers within the secret realm.

But this time, coinciding with the competition of the Divine Flame Alliance, it wouldn’t hurt to let the disciples of various powers enter and compete for the spiritual medicines, deciding the competition’s scores by the quantity and quality of the medicines obtained.

In addition, the prolonged war with the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race that lasted over two years has caused heavy losses to all the forces.

Entering the Divine Flame Secret Realm now also serves to replenish cultivation resources, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Although the opening of the secret realm is accompanied by danger, it is also a test for the disciples. When they come out from the secret realm, their cultivation is bound to see a significant improvement.

Moreover, this stage of the competition can be considered a life-and-death test; only by undergoing such ordeals can the disciples grow quickly.

There is still one month before the opening of the Divine Flame Secret Realm, and Lin Chen did not expect the first test to be such, which surprised him.

But indeed, it suits his taste.

Even though there is still a month until the secret realm opens, Lin Chen does not want to waste any time, thus he immediately began to cultivate.

One evening, a week after Lin Chen had closed himself off for cultivation, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Who could it be so late?" Lin Chen wondered, reluctant to respond, but the person outside did not leave.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you asleep?" A pleasant female voice sounded outside the door.

Hearing this, Lin Chen recognized it as Yan Ruyu’s voice.

He got up, went to the door, and opened it.

Though puzzled why Yan Ruyu would come to see him so late at night, he still met with her.

"Senior Sister Yan, what brings you here so late?" Lin Chen asked curiously as he appraised Yan Ruyu, who was dressed lightly, his gaze involuntarily scanning over her.

Maybe because of the night-time, she was wearing a very short skirt, her snow-white legs standing straight on the ground.

"There’s an auction tonight, and I thought it was quite boring to stay in my room. Would Junior Brother Lin Chen like to go take a look with me?"

"By the way, this auction is hosted by the Bright Moon Commerce Guild," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, her gaze on Lin Chen.

Smelling the pleasant fragrance from her, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up.

"The Bright Moon Commerce Guild?"

"Of course, I must go and see for myself."

Lin Chen certainly knew the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, a commerce guild that spanned the entire Mysterious Heaven Continent with branches in different places.

Compared to the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, the Lingxi Commerce Guild of the Jade Cauldron Sect was not on the same level.

So naturally, Lin Chen wanted to take a look; perhaps he could acquire some treasures of inestimable value.

"Okay, let’s go then."

Yan Ruyu, seeing that Lin Chen agreed, immediately nodded happily.

Actually, Yan Ruyu had planned to spend the remaining time on cultivation in her room, just like Lin Chen.

However, Jiang Jiayun suddenly came to her and told her about this event.

Yan Ruyu thought it over and decided to bring Lin Chen along.

What Yan Ruyu did not know was that Jiang Jiayun bringing her this news was actually at the request of Gong Siyuan.

Even though Gong Siyuan knew that Yan Ruyu was not fond of him, he did not want to miss any possible opportunity, hence the scene in front of them now.

Yan Ruyu was not interested in the goods of the commerce guild, but thinking she could use this opportunity to spend time with Lin Chen, she came to ask. Luckily, Lin Chen agreed.

Afterward, Lin Chen and Yan Ruyu left their residences together, heading towards the commercial district of Spirit Sword City.

Upon arriving at the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, Lin Chen immediately felt its extraordinariness.

The grand architecture made him feel that compared to it, Cloud Sky City’s layout seemed inferior.

Lin Chen had some understanding of the Bright Moon Commerce Guild. Whether it was the Divine Flame Alliance, Red Soul Hall, or the Demon Race, the Bright Moon Commerce Guild had branches among these forces, and no one dared to disrespect it.

The background of the Bright Moon Commerce Guild was strong and beyond the reach of these forces.

The Bright Moon Commerce Guild did not engage in any power struggles and solely focused on business, thus it faced no hostility from the various powers.

Moreover, most of the resources of these powers were obtained through trading with the Bright Moon Commerce Guild.

After Lin Chen and Yan Ruyu entered the Bright Moon Commerce Guild, Yan Ruyu paused, seemingly waiting for someone, and Lin Chen did not rush her. Soon, Jiang Jiayun appeared.

Obviously, Yan Ruyu had made an appointment with her. Accompanying Jiang Jiayun were Gong Siyuan, Xiang Hao, Ye Wenhao, and others.

Seeing Yan Ruyu, Gong Siyuan’s face immediately lit up with a smile. But when he noticed Lin Chen by her side, his expression turned sullen.

He looked at Jiang Jiayun with a slight frown, feeling displeased.

He had asked Jiang Jiayun to invite Yan Ruyu, but had not expected her to bring Lin Chen as well.

Jiang Jiayun pouted slightly and turned her head with a dissatisfied expression.

Indeed, she had followed Gong Siyuan’s request to invite Yan Ruyu out, but whether Lin Chen would accompany Yan Ruyu had not been under her control—she had not invited Lin Chen.

Jiang Jiayun did not elaborate further, as Gong Siyuan was ranked above her in the sect and had greater cultivation; he was not someone she could afford to offend.

As for Lin Chen, regardless of his true strength, the mere backing of the Qin Family and Qin Batian was enough to ensure Jiang Jiayun would not act recklessly.

Everyone was shocked by Lin Chen’s presence, especially because this fellow had improved his cultivation from the First Layer to the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm in just half a year.

How did he cultivate to break through four realms in such a short period? It must be noted that this was the cultivation of the Heavenly Human Realm, not the Reverting Void Realm.

Lin Chen’s rate of breakthrough was hard to believe.
