Chapter 1301: Chapter 1321: Xi Jie Returns_1

By the time Lin Chen stepped out of his room, the sun had risen.

He had worked hard on his training during the first half of the night and obviously needed to make up for it afterwards. How else would he do justice to this wonderful morning?

Lin Chen stretched his arms and did a few chest-opening exercises.

Truly a remarkable improvement.

Although he was still at the Great Circle of Void Separation, Lin Chen distinctly felt a subtle change within himself, his strength had obviously risen considerably.

Presumably, Chu Jiaxue was the same.

Just as Lin Chen was pondering this, his heart stirred. At the same moment, a burst of laughter echoed in his mind.

"How does it feel to be a new groom? Are you enjoying it?"

Lin Chen suddenly turned back only to see the familiar small tower perched on the corner of the eaves.

"Sister Qi!"

Lin Chen exclaimed in delight: "You’re back!"

"Wanna come in for a chat?"

"Sure!"

A beam of light descended, enveloping Lin Chen, and he disappeared from the spot.

Next second, Lin Chen appeared inside the main hall at the peak of the mountain.

Qi was still sitting in her usual spot, quietly sipping her tea, just like always.

Lin Chen chuckled: "Sister Qi, it’s been a while. I’ve missed you a lot."

Qi rolled her eyes helplessly: "With two beauties by your side, or rather, even more than that, surrounded by a bevy of beauties, do you really miss me? You must be having too much fun to extract yourself."

Lin Chen sighed: "Sister Qi, I almost died. It was a narrow escape."

Qi asked in surprise: "Really? Don’t you still have a Half Immortal by your side? In this world, who could do anything to you?"

After a pause, Qi’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen and her eyes widened in shock: "Great Circle of Void Separation! It’s not been that long, how did you manage to do it?"

Lin Chen turned his lips: "Shouldn’t you be asking how I almost died?"

Qi chuckled: "Alright, who was trying to kill you?"

Lin Chen responded: "Over a thousand Human Immortal Yuan Shen and one Earth Immortal. You think I survived due to sheer luck?"

The smile on Qi’s face faded abruptly: "A thousand immortal Primordial Spirits from the Barren Wilderness?"

"Yes, one of the Six Forbidden Lands of the Wilderness, the Mystical Immortal Island."

Lin Chen gave a brief account of the events at Mystical Immortal Island: "In the past, the Domain Lord killed a thousand stray souls with a single blow, hiding them here in order to see the light of day again. They were looking for substitutes. If it were not for the Emperor’s Seal, innately restraining the Primordial Spirit, I would have been dead."

Qi looked astonished: "You’re pretty ruthless, so audacious. You actually killed so many Primordial Spirits of the immortals. Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down and killed by them...."

"I’m scared, alright? Why wouldn’t I be?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Did you see, we’re hiding in this remote city just to avoid trouble? Sister Qi, I have been waiting for you to back me up. Now that you’re back, has the Xuanji Fairy’s matter been settled?"

Qi grinned: "You have Destiny on your side, it’s not so easy for you to vanish. Although it’s dangerous, didn’t you turn calamity to fortune? Otherwise, how would you manage to reach the Great Circle of Void Separation so quickly? Tsk tsk, this level of strength can almost enable ascension."

"Initially, Xuanji disguised herself and was smuggled across the Boundary Gate, but it didn’t take long for the news to leak. Along the way, hunters started chasing us, we fought while fleeing. We eventually made it to the formidable White Crane Immortal Sect, where we finally found safety."

"Xuanji disseminated the news, and very quickly some powerful backers came to help. With strong protectors at her side, she continued on her journey. She didn’t need my help at that point. Concerned for your safety, she asked me to come back to protect you, lest some calamity befall you."

Lin Chen was ecstatic: "What about Weijiao?"

"The Immortal Domain is vast; the location of the Boundary Gate is far from where Weijiao’s Northern Xuan Immortal Sect is based. I don’t know how she’s faring, but although the momentum around Weijiao is large, the Domain Lords are still there; she won’t be able to stir up any waves."

Lin Chen laughed: "That’s good, has Fairy Xuanji left any message for me?"

Qi smiled: "During the time that she was in the White Crane Immortal Sect, she did two things. First, she had the White Crane Immortal Sect send people to the Boundary Gate area and take control of it. The control of the Boundary Gate now lies with the White Crane Immortal Sect. Second, she asked me to bring you the Array Diagram and some materials for the Connecting Heaven Formation."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, his face expressing sheer joy.

"Does that mean, as long as we make the Sky-reaching Array, we can rebuild the Ascension Channel?"

Qi laughed lightly: "Yes. However, she was only able to gather resources from the one White Crane Immortal Sect, unable to complete the set of all resources. But she did bring enough of the Immortal Spirit Ink that can only be found in the Immortal Realm. The remaining materials can be collected in the Barren Wilderness."

"Once the materials are gathered and the secondary array of the Sky-reaching Formation is rebuilt, activating it would make the main array in the Immortal Realm sense it. When the White Crane Immortal Sect, who guards the main array, manipulates it, the secondary array and the main array can be connected, thus forming a passage between the Barren Wilderness and the Immortal Realm. This is the Ascension Road you have been waiting for."

"Once this passage is established, after successfully Crossing the Tribulation, a great amount of Immortal Spirit Qi will be guided and will fall down, aiding the one who has crossed the Tribulation in completing the final step of Immortal Spirit Qi transformation within their bodies, truly ascending to immortality...."
