Chapter 176 Clearing the Chaotic Star Sea Dungeon! Early Peak!
Welcome to Cola Novels! A vast collection of novels awaits your exploration!
That day, Lin Chuan found Yuan Yao and told her about his plan.
"Sister Yao, my sect in Tiannan might arrange for you to train in the Chaotic Star Sea. Of course, I won't expose the spirit stone mine. I will rebuild a teleportation array in the outer sea, a million miles away from here."
Yuan Yao nodded after listening.
"Great, that's good. But I'll stay on Biling Island for the rest of my life. It's quiet here, perfect for cultivation, and I can also help look after the spirit stone mine."
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'll come here often."
……
After leaving Biling Island, Lin Chuan spent several months searching for a suitable location in a completely untouched area of the open sea.
This sea area is far from the inland sea and is teeming with monsters, including many powerful demons in human form. However, Lin Chuan is guided by the daily divination, which allows him to always avoid those that are too dangerous.
Ultimately, he chose a circular island with a radius of seven hundred miles.
The island was densely vegetated and had a complex terrain. There were several small spiritual veins on the island, and although the concentration of spiritual energy was average, it was well hidden. He named the island Round Island.
Over the next six months, Lin Chuan set up a long-distance teleportation array on the island.
After the teleportation array was completed, he spent another year setting up a large number of array formations and restrictions on the island—the outer layer was an illusion array to conceal the island's existence; the inner layer was a defensive array to withstand attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators.
He inlaid high-grade spirit stones into the base of several main formations, which not only greatly increased their power but also made them last longer.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Chuan began to deal with the transformed demons in the nearby sea area.
……
Half a month later, the divination led him to a deserted island 300,000 miles away.
The island was shrouded in eerie atmosphere, with jagged rocks and a deathly silence.
Lin Chuan concealed his presence and quietly landed on the island.
In a cave deep within the island, he found his target—a black wind rhinoceros.
This beast is ten zhang long, its entire body is as black as ink, its skin is thick and rough, its single horn is as sharp as a knife, and its body is surrounded by black demonic wind, its aura is deep and profound - an eighth-level transformed great demon.
The Black Wind Rhinoceros was fast asleep in the cave, its loud snores like thunder, making the cave tremble slightly.
Lin Chuan did not rush to make a move.
He first set up the Great Geng Sword Formation outside the cave, with thirty-six Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords disappearing into the void, their sword light poised to strike. Then, he donned the Shadow Cloak, transforming into a black shadow, and silently slipped into the cave.
When Lin Chuan was ten feet away from the Black Wind Rhinoceros, he stopped hiding and suddenly launched his attack!
Thirty-six flying swords appeared simultaneously, their sword light intertwining and instantly enveloping the Black Wind Rhinoceros!
"roar--!!!"
The Black Wind Rhinoceros suddenly awoke, letting out a deafening roar! A raging storm of demonic wind surged around it, transforming into a black hurricane that swept towards Lin Chuan!
Lin Chuan snorted coldly, formed hand seals, and activated the Great Geng Sword Formation at full power!
Thirty-six flying swords, each transforming into several sword lights, turned into a rain of swords that slashed wildly at the Black Wind Rhinoceros!
"Jingle bells—"
The sword light struck the Black Wind Rhinoceros, sending countless sparks flying! This beast had thick, tough hides and incredibly strong defenses; ordinary magical weapons couldn't harm it in the slightest. However, under the continuous attacks of the Great Geng Sword Formation, small wounds began to appear on its skin.
The Black Wind Rhinoceros, in pain, became even more ferocious. It lowered its head, a ball of dark light gathering on its single horn, and charged fiercely towards Lin Chuan!
Lin Chuan flashed and activated his Void Shuttle to evade the attack instantly.
"boom--!"
The unicorn slammed into the mountain wall, and the dozens of meters of rock collapsed instantly, sending debris flying everywhere!
Lin Chuan's gaze turned cold, and he ceased his probing. Within his Divine Court's sea of consciousness, fifty divine consciousness spikes suddenly condensed, transforming into an invisible and intangible sword of divine consciousness, aimed directly at the Black Wind Rhinoceros's brow!
"puff--!"
The Black Wind Rhinoceros's massive body stiffened abruptly, and the ferocious light in its eyes instantly dissipated! Its soul was severely injured by the sword of divine consciousness!
It's now!
Lin Chuan raised his hand and waved, and the Azure Ice Flame transformed into a pillar of blue fire, enveloping the Black Wind Rhinoceros!
As the icy flames entered its body, the Black Wind Rhinoceros's form was rapidly covered with a layer of blue ice crystals. Its struggles grew weaker and weaker until it finally became completely still.
Lin Chuan stepped forward, took out the demon core, and used a secret technique to imprison the essence of the Black Wind Rhinoceros and put it into a bottle.
"The materials for the eighth spirit summoning talisman have been obtained."
He nodded in satisfaction, then transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.
……
After clearing out the transformed demons in the nearby sea, Lin Chuan returned to Biling Island and then used the teleportation array to return to Tiannan Huangfeng Valley.
Inside the cave, Zi Ling was not in the main hall; she must have been in seclusion in another quiet room.
Lin Chuan didn't disturb her and went straight to find Elder Linghu.
Linghu Patriarch was meditating in his cave when he sensed Lin Chuan's presence. He opened his eyes and smiled, "Junior Brother Lin is back? Did your trip go smoothly?"
"smoothly."
Lin Chuan sat down opposite him and said directly, "Senior Brother Linghu, I have found a suitable place overseas for sect disciples to train."
"Oh?" Old Master Linghu became interested.
Lin Chuan briefly explained the situation on the circular island—there were many monsters on the island, including quite a few level five and six monsters, and even some transformed great monsters.
He has already set up teleportation arrays and defensive formations on the island, which can be used by sect disciples to teleport there for training.

Linghu Laozu was overjoyed upon hearing this.
"Good! Good! Good!" He exclaimed three times, standing up excitedly. "Junior Brother Lin, you have rendered a great service to the sect!"
The resources of demonic beasts in Tiannan are already scarce. If the disciples of Huangfeng Valley want to hunt demonic beasts to obtain materials, they can only search for low-level demonic beasts in the nearby mountains and forests, which is simply not enough to go around.
Now that we have this Monster Island, the disciples have a stable training ground where they can hone their combat skills and collect a large amount of monster materials, which is of great benefit to the development of the sect.
"Senior brother, come with me."
Lin Chuan led Linghu Patriarch to a valley in the center of the sect and spent more than half a year setting up a teleportation array.
A flash of white light, and the two appeared on the round island.
Linghu Laozu flew off the island and observed the sea for seven or eight days.
Looking at the hordes of demonic beasts and feeling the dense demonic energy in the air, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What a great place! What a wonderful place!"
He returned to the island and exclaimed, "The number of demonic beasts here is greater than anywhere else in Tiannan! And there are quite a few level five or six demonic beasts, enough for the disciples to train with."
"Senior brother, I'm entrusting this island to you," Lin Chuan said.
He had already completed all the preliminary work—teleportation array, defensive formation, and clearing out the nearby transformed demons.
How to arrange the disciples' transfer, how to keep it confidential, and how to manage them are things that Patriarch Linghu needs to consider.
"Don't worry, junior brother."
Linghu Laozu nodded solemnly.
Lin Chuan then took out another item from his storage bag and handed it to Elder Linghu.
It was a blue token, about the size of a palm, crystal clear, with runes flowing across its surface.
"This is……"
Linghu Laozu took the token and sensed the spatial power contained within it; his pupils contracted slightly.
"The Great Teleportation Token," Lin Chuan said. "When teleporting over long distances, this item can withstand spatial pressure and protect the teleporter from harm. I have two of these; I'll give one to my senior brother."
Linghu Patriarch held the token, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded.
"Thank you, junior brother."
……
After returning to Yellow Maple Valley, Lin Chuan began his seclusion.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
For ten years, Lin Chuan never left his home, meditating and cultivating by the Spirit Eye Spring every day, refining elixirs and improving his magical power.
With ample elixirs to aid him, his cultivation speed far surpassed that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Ten years later, Lin Chuan opened his eyes in the quiet room, his aura powerful and profound.
He is now at the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, just one step away from the middle stage.
