Chapter 803: Chapter 823: Blessing in Disguise?_1

Lin Chen hid underwater, feeling incredibly tense.

A Great Demon with strength comparable to the Void Stage was just dozens of meters above him, searching for him like a relentless God of death. If he were discovered, undoubtedly, his fate would be extremely miserable.

Lin Chen clung firmly to the bottom of the pond, staying completely still, turning himself into a lifeless stone.

After a few seconds, Lin Chen felt an invisible divine sense sweep over him, but it didn’t linger for long.

Senior Brother’s Life and Death Seal is really useful!

Lin Chen secretly let out a sigh of relief, and now he only had one problem left - how to escape.

The Golden Lion failed to find anything after searching the entire valley, and quickly flew off into the distance. But the various demonic beasts that had followed it didn’t leave, instead staying behind and continuing to queue up to drink water.

Not only that, but the large group of demonic beasts that had been pursuing Qiao Wei earlier also returned, once again forming a long line in front of the spring.

Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

There were many powerful demonic beasts amongst those drinking water. If he were to reveal himself, he wouldn’t be able to escape either.

Forget it, let’s keep hiding.

These demonic beasts wouldn’t endlessly line up to drink water day and night, right? There should be a gap eventually.

Lin Chen didn’t even need to actively scout, as he could determine whether there were still demonic beasts drinking water at the edge of the pond just by sensing the subtle ripples in the water.

Lin Chen quieted down and began to sense the environment around him.

Upon sensing it, Lin Chen was shocked.

Spiritual energy!

Incredibly dense spiritual energy!

Lin Chen silently drank some of the Spiritual Spring water, then quietly began to cultivate. As expected, the poison in his body quickly dissipated, like snow melting under sunlight, disappearing without a trace.

This Spiritual Spring can really detoxify!

After getting rid of the poison in his body, Lin Chen calmed his mind and began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy without moving. Since there were violent spiritual energy fluctuations here, his absorption wouldn’t be noticed.

Huge amounts of pure spiritual energy surged into Lin Chen’s Dantian like a river, causing the Golden Core within to spin wildly, greedily devouring the energy.

Every second, huge amounts of spiritual energy poured in, which was equivalent to at least a day of cultivation outside!

Time gradually passed, and the Golden Core within Lin Chen’s body became more dazzling, pulsating with golden light and gaining more and more substance.

Lin Chen didn’t know how long it had been, but he began to sense a trace of life within the Golden Core.

At this moment, the Golden Core was more like an egg, and inside the egg was a new life being nurtured!

Lin Chen suddenly had a realization.

The process of Golden Core to Nascent Soul was the transformation from lifeless to having life. The Nascent Soul was his second life, equivalent to a clone. It was just that at the Nascent Soul Stage, it was like a newborn baby, not yet cultivated to the Primordial Spirit stage, and very weak. However, under extreme conditions, if his body was injured, the Nascent Soul could leave the body and attach to a suitable body within a short time, thus being reborn and gaining a second life.

A few days ago, he had reached the Late Golden Core Stage. And here, he had advanced directly to the Late Golden Core Stage peak, also known as the Perfect Golden Core!

Just one more step and he would be able to Break through the Golden Core to Nascent Soul, formally entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

An invisible barrier was obstructing Lin Chen, preventing the transformation from Golden Core to Nascent Soul. This was the bottleneck between each major realm.

To break through this bottleneck, one might rely on comprehension, opportunity, or external objects. In any case, they needed either internal or external assistance to help break through and transform from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.

Lin Chen felt a little regretful. The amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed was too small compared to the spiritual energy in this spring, and he might not have the chance to come here again in the future. After all, besides the extreme poison, the demonic beasts in Yin Yang Valley were also terrifyingly strong. Hadn’t Senior Brother, who was so heaven-defying, only been able to run away?

There was no way to continue cultivating, so Lin Chen shifted his attention elsewhere.

Were there any living things in this Spiritual Spring?

Such as spiritual fish, shells, and so on...

Lin Chen searched around the pond, only to end up disappointed. There were no living creatures in the pond at all.

Since there were no other good things, he might as well take some more Spiritual Spring water.

Lin Chen filled all the large containers he had prepared in his spatial ring with Spiritual Spring water, stopping only when he couldn’t fit anymore.

Underneath the dark water, there was no concept of time. Lin Chen was unaware of how much time had passed before the faint movements above the pool disappeared.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, waited quietly for a long time, and still detected no movement.

Here comes the opportunity!

Lin Chen extended his senses, but did not detect any demonic beasts in the vicinity.

Lin Chen slowly floated towards the surface, cautiously sticking his head out.

It was nighttime, with a sky-full of stars and moonlight shining on the ground, serene and quiet.

There was no Golden Lion, no water-drinking demonic beasts - the surroundings were utterly silent, devoid of anything!

Lin Chen hurriedly used the Sword Control Technique to rise into the air, flying towards the hills where he had hidden earlier. When he returned to his previous hiding place, he let out a great sigh of relief, feeling a mix of celebration and luck at escaping death.

Lin Chen looked around at the vast area and suddenly felt bewildered.

In the pitch-black darkness, which direction should he fly in?

He was just a little Golden Core cultivator. If he were targeted by a demonic beast, wouldn’t he be done for?
