Chapter 820: Chapter 840: If You Can’t Win, You Must Run!_1

Golden Core Breaks, Nascent Soul Formed.

Lin Chen was quite excited as he "saw" the lively purple little figure in his own dantian.

Nascent Soul cultivators were considered true experts, most notably the ability to fly directly without the need for a flying sword as a medium. From then on, like a bird, they could fly freely and effortlessly without worrying about falling off the flying sword.

Although he couldn’t accurately assess the improvement in his strength, it must have increased many times compared to the Perfect Golden Core stage.

"Congratulations on stepping into the Nascent Soul realm!"

Lin Chen responded with a laugh: "In order not to get beaten, I have to work hard."

Qiao Wei laughed, "It’s true that cultivation shouldn’t stop, but there’s no need to be too anxious. Now that you have Nascent Soul strength and a Sword Bone, you can protect yourself and travel around independently."

Lin Chen nodded: "I do have such a plan, I intend to go to Cang Mountain and Penglai to see my wife. We have been separated for so long, and they may not even know that I have entered the Barren Wilderness."

Chu Jiaxue would be fine, as she had returned from Penglai and fought side by side with Lin Chen, knowing that he would eventually enter Nanyue Hengshan and the Barren Wilderness. However, Gu Yuexi might not know, and Lin Chen wondered if Chen Tongxian informed her about the Heaven Opening Jade he possessed.

Moreover, Lin Chen missed them and wanted to confirm if they were living well.

With Lin Chen’s current strength and identity as Shi Changsheng’s direct disciple, he could hold his head high in both Penglai and Cang Mountain, without fearing anyone.

Qiao Wei, who knew of Lin Chen’s love story, happily said: "It’s about time to go, but it’s quite a distance."

Lin Chen laughed, "First, prepare the elixirs. Once we have them, we can cultivate during the flying boat journey. Cultivating there is still cultivating, after all, so we won’t waste time."

Qiao Wei nodded, "That’s a good idea. On the way, you can go to Cang Mountain first, then to Penglai, and finally to the True Dragon Secret Realm, without wasting time going back and forth."

Lin Chen asked, "Will you come with me?"

Qiao Wei smiled, "I won’t. You’re the team leader they chose, so you guys are a team, and no one can bully you."

Lin Chen said with a hint of regret, "Then it will be a long time before we meet again."

Qiao Wei patted Lin Chen’s arm in a hearty manner, "There is no time in the path of cultivation. Separation for a year or two will pass in the blink of an eye. Don’t worry too much, just focus on moving forward."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen didn’t leave immediately but returned to the cave mansion and began planting large quantities of Ling Medicine.

After assigning the planting task to Tree Demon Mei Nu, Lin Chen chose to enter closed-door cultivation.

He had been busy improving his own strength recently and hadn’t had time to comprehend many things.

For example, Tang Li’s Reducing Land to Inches technique, Senior Brother’s Life and Death Secret Art, Master’s Human Scroll and Earth Scroll of Emperor’s Scripture, Father’s Heaven Scroll of Emperor’s Scripture, and the insubordinate Emperor’s Seal...

Senior Brother Li Ping’an had given Lin Chen the Life and Death Secret Art with a sense of fulfilling his final wishes, but after surviving the crisis, Lin Chen tried to return it only to be refused.

Li Ping’an told Lin Chen that he had completely understood the Life and Death Secret Art and it was useless for him to keep it, so he gave it to Lin Chen and shared the secrets of his successful cultivation of the art.

One had to understand the words and shapes, especially the Dao patterns in the Dharma Seal, which were the essence of the Life and Death Seal.

Lin Chen chose to continue studying the Great Shrinking Technique first, as it was his best escape method and a priority.

If he couldn’t defeat his enemy, he had to be able to run faster!

After his strength increased by a large realm, Lin Chen’s comprehension of the Reducing Land to Inches technique brought completely new insights.

He could now perceive more clearly and gaze at the Dao patterns for longer, leading to increasingly profound insights.

After about ten days of study, Lin Chen’s mastery of the shrinking technique greatly improved. If before he had mastered only 20-30% of the Great Secret Technique and struggled to use it, now he had mastered at least 50%, and the technique was much smoother. With each step, the distance he could move doubled.

Putting down the Reducing Land to Inches technique, Lin Chen picked up the Life and Death Secret Art. He read it a few times, memorizing the content of the book and various Dharma Seals, but there was no effect, as it was just an empty form without any divine spirit.

As expected, the Life and Death Secret Art couldn’t be easily unraveled.

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by this result, after all, even cultivation genius Shi Changsheng couldn’t figure it out.

Temporarily putting down the Life and Death Secret Art, Lin Chen finally started studying the Emperor’s Scripture.

The Emperor’s Scripture had few words and seemed more like a general outline of cultivation. Like a foundation stone and rules of the Dao, once you comprehend its principles, you can create various cultivation techniques that won’t conflict with the Emperor’s Scripture.

As Lin Chen studied the Emperor’s Scripture, he suddenly had a thought.

The Emperor’s Scripture was created by the Human Emperor, and the Emperor’s Seal was his magical treasure and symbol of identity. Would driving the Emperor’s Seal with the Emperor’s Scripture produce a different effect?
