Chapter 763: Chapter 783: Ambush_1

With the lotus seed in his mouth, a cool breath spread out, and Lin Chen’s originally chaotic mind instantly cleared up.

This feeling was somewhat similar to eating a mint candy, the kind of feeling where one’s mind suddenly clears up.

After a while, Lin Chen opened his eyes and looked at the bronze plate again.

The Dao Pattern bloomed with white light again, and Lin Chen felt dazzled once more. However, at this moment, a chill appeared in Lin Chen’s eyes, and the stinging sensation suddenly diminished greatly.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and quickly concentrated on observing the Dao Pattern.

This time, he persisted for a full five minutes before feeling the stinging in his eyes again.

He closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen earlier. The images in his mind had become much clearer and were no longer shrouded in a misty layer, as before.

It really works!

Thinking this was a life-saving method, Lin Chen stayed a few more days, quietly hiding in the room and studying the Dao Pattern.

This Dao Pattern contained a certain kind of enlightenment that could only be comprehended and not taught verbally. Lin Chen also vaguely understood why Tang Li did not teach him directly but let him learn from this green stone slab on his own.

Some things cannot be taught just by talking. Only when you feel the essence within and grasp and master it can you truly achieve the ability to shrink the earth to inches.

Lin Chen took his leave from Feng Lan and gave her a lotus seed before quietly leaving Kunlun Mountain.

After entering the Secret Realm, Lin Chen stopped, and when no one was around, he began practicing the great secret technique of Shrinking Earth to Inches.

He practiced for several days, progressing from complete confusion to finally gaining some understanding.

As Lin Chen stepped down, spiritual energy surged, spirit light appeared, and spirit patterns emerged beneath his feet. These spirit patterns formed a miniature array with unique spiritual energy fluctuations, like a blooming lotus with every step.

The spirit patterns circulated, and the light flickered. With one step forward, the scenery in front of Lin Chen suddenly zoomed in, as if he had instantly traversed space.

Looking back, the distance between his previous step and his current position was several hundred meters.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Although his current strength wasn’t sufficient to fully display the power of Shrinking Earth to Inches, he had already achieved impressive results.

A distance of several hundred meters with a single step, and a few more steps would take him kilometers away, making his speed already awesome.

When in real danger, this could be used for a speedy escape, making it much faster than flying boats or flying swords.

What’s most important is that when in real danger, others wouldn’t have the time to launch flying boats or control flying swords to escape. Although controlling flying swords looks cool, the speed is just so-so.

Simply awesome!

Lin Chen originally went to visit Tang Li with a grateful heart to thank her for her assistance to his family, but he didn’t expect that she would give him such a grand gift.

From what she meant, it seemed that only she had studied the Shrinking Earth to Inches Great Secret Technique, and she had not even taught it to Kunlun Mountain. In other words, only Tang Li and him knew how to do it now!

Lin Chen excitedly practiced this mysterious technique continuously, his figure appearing like a light-shadow as he moved kilometers away in a matter of minutes. His movements were graceful, as if he was an immortal.

However, he didn’t go far before he quickly stopped.

His spiritual power couldn’t keep up!

At this moment, Lin Chen was only at the Golden Core Realm. It was still fine for him to use ordinary secret techniques or spells, but the amount of spiritual energy required for each step of Shrinking Earth to Inches was significant. Given Lin Chen’s weak foundation, walking like this for a short time would almost completely deplete his spiritual power.

After recovering for a while, Lin Chen threw out his flying boat and continued on his journey to Jade Peak City.

He needed to find out the clue about the Tomb of the Demon Emperor mentioned by Qiu Shisan. Previously, he had been disinterested in entering the forbidden area of Yin Yang Valley. However, now that this matter was related to his father, he felt compelled to learn more.

What if he was still alive?

After a day of flying, Lin Chen left the Barrier of Kunlun Mountain Cave Heaven and headed towards Jade Peak City.

As the flying boat steadily sped along, it passed through a valley. A figure rushed up from the depths of the valley, silently charging towards the flying boat.

At the same time, a pair of Silver Jiao Scissors flew up, turning into two beams of silver light like flood dragons, aiming directly at Lin Chen and his flying boat.

Lin Chen was sitting in the flying boat, with the boat obstructing his line of sight. However, the intense spiritual energy fluctuations below still alerted him.

In that instant, all the hairs on Lin Chen’s body stood on end. With an almost instinctive reaction, he didn’t care that the flying boat was still in the air, he leaped forward, catapulting himself and instantly jumping out of the flying boat.

At the very moment Lin Chen jumped out, the two beams of light transformed by the Silver Jiao Scissors directly attacked Lin Chen’s flying boat.

"Crack!"

The Protective Array on the flying boat instantly shattered, and the boat was severed in half by the two silver beams.

If Lin Chen hadn’t reacted quickly and jumped out of the boat, he would have been caught and killed by those two silver beams.

Lin Chen’s cold sweat poured down his face.

Who was it, trying to kill him so ruthlessly?

Could it be a Blood Shadow expert trying to hunt him down?
