Chapter 1381: Chapter 1401: Can we go further? _1

"Ding!"

Lin Chen struck another sword blow, cleaving onto another finger, and a clear clang of gold and iron sounded out.

Comparing carefully, Lin Chen was pleasantly surprised to find a tiny fissure on the untempered finger bone.

This fissure might not be obvious, but it represented an attack that exceeded the defense limit of the finger bone.

It might be able to block, but it would be injured. The finger bone that had been tempered, however, showed no signs of a fissure, not even a scratch on the bone surface after taking the same blow.

Hard!

Lin Chen was quite excited. It really seemed to work!

Since Lin Chen had chosen the Sword Bone Path, he naturally had to continue down this path, making his bones even more resilient until they were impervious to any attacks!

Since bones could be tempered, what about skin, flesh, and internal organs? Could they be tempered too?

If so, would his skin turn black and eventually become as shiny as a scorpion’s?

That wouldn’t be very appealing!

Using the stone tablet for sword bone conditioning didn’t require any special environment or pose any danger, and Lin Chen could stop at any time. Therefore, he decided to set off, using the travel time for cultivation.

"Ji Ruxue, Yan Chusheng, the two of you will travel with me."

"Si Defa, Yuan Ji, you two stay behind. When you have time, go chat with Fifth Uncle. If he needs something, you go help."

Lin Chen left the White Crane Immortal Sect with Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng, heading to a nearby city, Tianyu City.

Tianyu City, the imperial city of the Tianlan Empire, was vast and populous. The reason Tianyu City was chosen as the imperial city was its close proximity to the White Crane Immortal Sect.

There are countless sects and empires in the Cloud Sky Continent. Small sects cover a few counties, but large sects like the White Crane Immortal Sect naturally serve as a hidden backing to the empires.

The White Crane Immortal Sect generally does not interfere with the operation of the mortal empires. However, when disciples of the White Crane Immortal Sect enter the mortal world, they are naturally accorded the highest honors and cooperation.

Each year, the Tianyu Empire makes tributes to the White Crane Immortal Sect. These tributes encompass natural treasures and materials for refining pills and crafting, serving as the empire’s protection fee.

Unwilling to pay?

No problem. Just replace the emperor with someone more obedient.

The White Crane Immortal Sect is lofty and doesn’t oppress the Tianyu Empire too heavily. Most mortal goods are not in their favor, thus the Tianyu Empire thrives and prospers. Ships coming and going continuously from various directions present a scene of prosperity.

Lin Chen planned to take a large flying ship in Tianyu City. They had more passengers and safer routes, which felt even safer. Rent a premium cabin where there are various array formations for quiet cultivation—it’s much more comfortable than rushing on the road.

Yan Chusheng sighed, "This city is so prosperous. You don’t have to worry about attacks by demonic beasts. Apart from the palace, no other places even need a barrier. Life here for these folks is really blessed..."

Lin Chen chuckled, "They say that the Immortal Domain too was filled with many beasts in the beginning. Later, they were driven into areas unfit for human habitation by successive generations of cultivators. If it weren’t for the fact that beasts also produce many raw materials needed by humans, I’m afraid the great powers would have exterminated all the beasts long ago."

Ji Ruxue observed the ordinary people on the street and laughed, "Looking at their rosy faces and shiny clothes, even ordinary people can live well under the protection of immortals as long as they work hard. This place truly seems like a fairyland compared to the harsh environment of the Barren Wilderness."

Lin Chen laughed, "There are also many powerhouses among the human race in the Barren Wilderness. They could do the same if they are united. The key is whether they are willing to do so. After all, they are already high above, how many of them would care about how ordinary people live?"

"When the Human Race Union was established, I put forth a plan to drive the beasts into the mountains. Many people agreed. They also made corresponding plans and were preparing to push ahead gradually. But whether they will succeed in the end depends on whether they can persist from one generation to another."

Chatting idly, the three entered the city. Showing the White Crane Immortal Sect token at the city gate, they were immediately allowed in. The team leader even politely asked if they needed a guide, showing Lin Chen the privileges of immortals in the human world.

The three chose their route, bought the tickets, and then boarded the ship.

The room was equipped with a sound-isolating formation, it was very peaceful. Lin Chen sat cross-legged, holding a black stone in his hand, quietly absorbing the special minerals within, refining his sword bone.

After a month’s journey, the flying ship arrived at the border city Heitu City of the Tianlan Empire.

Having received the notification earlier, Lin Chen stopped his cultivation, walked out of his room, and stood on the bow of the ship, looking down at the city.

After a month of interrupted cultivation, Lin Chen had completed the tempering of the sword bones of his entire right hand. Each sword bone was shiny black, as sturdy as a black alloy piece, and indestructible.

Lin Chen was very satisfied!

The flying ship arrived, and the three left Heitu City heading towards the border city of the Iron Lion Dynasty ahead.

The border order of the mortal world could not restrain cultivators.

Just as the three crossed the border line, a flying ship swooshed by from behind. Behind the flying ship, several golden lights tore through the sky, chasing after them.
