Chapter 623: Chapter 643: How About Trying Our Luck in the Secret Realm? _1

"People won’t get rich without windfalls."

Lin Chen turned his head, teased, and then asked, "I defeated Liu Qiang and Xiang Qiu, and Gu Li came later. If I defeat Gu Li, will someone come after me?"

Sima Xiu replied, "Gu Li has some friends, but their strength isn’t much more significant than his. The only one who might stand up for him is Zhou Kai, a Golden Core Realm disciple from the Flying Crane Sect. Still, the fact that you were allowed to stay in the Number 4 Cave Mansion already indicates a lot. As long as Zhou Kai has some brains, he won’t recklessly attack you."

Lin Chen laughed, "I haven’t met the Sect Leader."

Sima Xiu smiled slightly, "But the Sect Leader must know that you are unique. Otherwise, even if you were in the Golden Core Realm, she wouldn’t have given you the Number 4 Cave Mansion."

Perhaps because I am Liu Sansheng’s disciple?

Lin Chen asked, "You said I am in the Golden Core Realm?"

Sima Xiu chuckled, "They may not be sure, but I am confident."

Lin Chen laughed but didn’t ask him how he could tell. Cultivators always have some mysterious aspects, just like Cave Master Shi Changsheng saw him as a Golden Core Realm cultivator at first glance.

This Sima Xiu must also have some unique aspects compared to ordinary cultivators.

"Every time you deal with someone causing trouble, do you take something from them as payment?"

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s just done on the spur of the moment. I usually want their lives. In the human world, I have a nickname, ’Professional Extinguisher of Families.’ I extinguish all the high-level cultivators in a family, killing or crippling them, so that the family is removed from the Cultivation World... "

Sima Xiu widened his eyes, looking at Lin Chen in shock, "How many sects have you extinguished to earn such a title?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Actually, not that many. In half a year, I have extinguished only five or six."

Suddenly, Sima Xiu laughed, "Your personality is well-suited for a cultivator."

Lin Chen asked, "How so?"

Sima Xiu replied, "Cultivators plunder the spiritual energy, treasures, and all cultivation resources of heaven and earth to ultimately strengthen themselves. Simply put, cultivators walk a path against Heaven. Your decisive mindset and not being lenient when necessary are excellent qualities. Often, a person’s temperament is critical in cultivation. Without such a resolute mindset, how can one defy Heaven and ascend?"

Lin Chen casually laughed, "I have no intention of provoking anyone, just trying to protect myself. After all, if I don’t kill them, they will kill me, so it’s better for them to die."

Sima Xiu laughed heartily, "That makes sense."

Both of them chatted casually on their way to the Cave Mansion. Lin Chen invited Sima Xiu inside and offered him drinks from the human world, which Sima Xiu enjoyed.

"Is there a shortcut for cultivation?"

Sima Xiu laughed, "Of course, there is. Natural treasures, elixirs, and various unique opportunities can help one become a powerful cultivator. Otherwise, relying solely on bitter cultivation would take countless years. However, these things are often highly sought after, or require destiny and luck, and come with many dangers. That’s why cultivators defy Heaven to change their fate, but not many of them can truly succeed."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What’s the strength of Cave Master Shi Changsheng and Sect Leader?"

Sima Xiu answered, "Cave Master’s strength is rumored to be at the Hollow Void Realm, while the Sect Leader’s strength is at the Nascent Soul Peak. There’s a Transforming God Realm in between. You are familiar with the distinctions between realms, right? Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Transforming God, Hollow Void, and then Crossing Tribulation. If one succeeds in Crossing Tribulation, they will ascend to immortality, as the legends say."

Lin Chen nodded. His Golden Core Realm strength was unmatched in the human world, but it was far from enough in the Cultivation World.

"I’m new here. Do you have any good advice for my cultivation?"

Sima Xiu thought for a moment: "Why not try your luck in the Secret Realm? The Spiritual Rhinoceros Storm in the Secret Realm has just ended. After every storm, various opportunities emerge, like treasures being uncovered after the tide recedes in the ocean. If you’re lucky, you might get some good stuff... "

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What is the Spiritual Rhinoceros Storm?"

Sima Xiu explained, "It’s a natural phenomenon. Spiritual energy surges like a storm, enveloping the entire Secret Realm. The storm also contains dangerous elements for cultivators, so they must avoid it during the storm, or else they could easily die. However, after the phenomenon ends, numerous natural treasures and valuable Demonic Beasts will be spawned... "

Lin Chen reluctantly understood, "How long does such a storm last?"

Sima Xiu replied, "Each Spiritual Rhinoceros Storm’s duration is uncertain. The longer it lasts, the more significant and more substantial the potential benefits will be. This time the storm lasted for ten years, which is considered a very long time. Now, all the cultivators in the Cave World are getting ready to enter the Secret Realm and try their luck. Since you are already in the Golden Core Realm, entering shouldn’t be an issue as long as you don’t go too deep. Safety should not be a significant concern... "
