Chapter 2623: Chapter 2643: Don’t Run, Don’t Run, Go on Foot!

Lin Chen was floating mid-air, pointing with one hand towards the space in front of him.

Red vigor rose from Lin Chen’s body, then twined along his arm, surging towards his fingertips.

Amidst the dancing red vigor, a fingertip emerged first, facing Lin Chen’s own finger.

The red vigor revolved around the fingertip, which grew at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Palm, arm, arm, and then the torso— the redness branched into several directions at the torso, extending towards the head, two legs, and another arm.

In the blink of an eye, a brand new Lin Chen appeared, bereft of any clothing, stark naked. Fortunately, a hazy golden light shimmered around him, making his figure look blurry and indistinct.

The avatar of Lin Chen had much weaker breath, lacking Sword Bone, lacking Seed of Abnormality—just an ordinary Immortal.

Sun Yixiao watched the scene with wide eyes, a sleazy smile appearing on his face.

The golden light cloaking the avatar of Lin Chen couldn’t block the observation of Sun Yixiao, with his Quasi-Saint strength, who naturally saw everything clearly.

"Each time you summon this avatar, won’t you have to find a place to hide? Otherwise, won’t you be stark naked?"

To reduce unnecessary risk, Bai Yunfei, Shang Wenyin, and Yue Chengtian all entered the Qiqiao Hall.

Sun Yixiao did not demand custody of the Qiqiao Hall despite his higher strength, and even declined Lin Chen’s suggestion to entrust it to him for safekeeping, indirectly stating that he would not let anything happen to Lin Chen.

His own disciple was still inside the Qiqiao Hall. If something happened to Lin Chen, wouldn’t Bai Yunfei suffer the consequences too?

So even if not for Lin Chen, for Bai Yunfei’s sake, he would also protect Lin Chen.

Since Shang Wenyin was not there, Lin Chen didn’t need to consider clothing the avatar. A casual cover up with golden light would do—the avatars’ sole purpose was to go to their deaths.

"I have researched this area for quite some time before. The space here changes erratically and without any particular pattern, but it doesn’t shift constantly. It only changes once a day. So when the sun has completely set, and Heaven and Earth are enveloped in darkness, we mustn’t move anymore. We should rest in place until it’s fully light again, then we can start moving."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen agreed, but couldn’t help muttering, "Here, day and night... feel the same..."

Saint of Thieves laughed, "What can you do, this is Western Hell. The ancestors of those from Western Hell have lived in such a place forever. If anyone should complain, it should be them."

Lin Chen sighed, "Having stayed in Western Hell for so long, I have gradually come to understand them. If I lived here, I would also feel envious, jealous, and resentful towards those Cultivators from foreign domains who live in the light."

Saint of Thieves replied, "To cross the domain boundaries, one needs strength Above the Immortal. Otherwise, one would be shredded into pieces by the Domain Gate. In other words, to leave Western Hell, one must attain strength Above the Immortal. This single condition limits the vast majority of people from Western Hell to spend their lives here, never being able to leave."

"Even those who have reached Above the Immortal, when people from Western Hell go elsewhere, they might face ostracization, making it hard to succeed. Thus, many Cultivators, even after reaching Above the Immortal and leaving Western Hell, still choose to return."

Lin Chen nodded silently, "This is their homeland. No matter how harsh the environment, it’s still their homeland, where their kin and roots are."

"Yes," Sun Yixiao sighed, "Although the Immortal Path is a lonely one, it’s not easy for someone from Western Hell to rise in Eastern Brilliance. It’s even harder than staying in Western Hell."

Lin Chen understood this situation; no matter how much of a Demon you were in Western Hell or how formidable your background was, once you leave your homeland for Eastern Brilliance, Northern Sea, Southern Wilderness, and compete with them, can you really win?

Forget about defying the heavens—in a moment of carelessness, you could lose your life.

Lin Chen refocused and asked, "Which direction should we move in?"

Sun Yixiao took out an ancient-looking compass, tapped it, and the needle on the compass immediately started moving, spinning several times before pointing in a specific direction.

Sun Yixiao explained, "This area is fraught with not just chaotic streams, but also misleading paths that can easily lead to confusion. Due to the spatial chaos, ordinary orientation treasures or spells are useless. This compass is called the Divine-Fixing Instrument, crafted with an extremely special spatial positioning technique, and it can continuously direct us."

"As long as we don’t get caught in the chaotic streams, or exiled into exotic spaces, it can guide us towards the central area, until we find our target."

"In the Land of Chaotic Streams, everything is in disarray. Once you enter, everything you see might be fake, inverted, chaotic. Without such a device, you’d be like a headless fly, aimlessly crashing around, headed for certain death."

The avatar of Lin Chen glanced at the needle, "That direction, right? Okay, I’m off."

Upon seeing Lin Chen’s avatar about to rush off, Sun Yixiao hurriedly called out, "Don’t run! Absolutely, absolutely don’t use body technique. Otherwise, in an instant, you could be transported to one of the chaotic stream lands and vanish completely. Just walk, at the normal pace of a person on foot. We’ll follow behind you..."
