Chapter 91 This time, there's no need to calculate; it's obviously a very bad omen!
"Soon, the Yan family, the foremost family of cultivators in the Yue Kingdom, will hold a treasure-hunting tournament..."
"At this treasure hunt, the Yan family even brought out the Qiankun Tower talisman, attracting the attention of Foundation Establishment cultivators from many surrounding countries..."
"You've certainly broadened your horizons on this trip!"
Li Huayuan smiled and said, "I originally wanted your senior brother to go, but his cultivation technique is at a crucial stage, and he cannot leave his master for the time being!"
After saying that, Li Huayuan handed an invitation to Lin Chuan.
Inside the cave, Lin Chuan held the gold-embossed invitation in his hand, the words "Yan Family Fortress Treasure Hunt" on it seemingly carrying a scorching heat.
"A treasure hunt? Yan Family Fortress?"
He maintained a respectful expression of accepting orders, but his heart was in turmoil.
An unprecedented and intense sense of crisis instantly gripped him!
How could he not be familiar with the plot of the original novel about the Yan Family Fortress?
The Yan family, the premier immortal cultivation family in the Yue Kingdom, openly hosts a treasure-hunting tournament, inviting Foundation Establishment cultivators from all over the world. Using the Qiankun Tower talisman as bait, their aim is to make friends with outstanding individuals and enhance the family's reputation.
however.
At that time, Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, secretly colluded with the Yan family. After some deliberation, the Yan family members abandoned the Yue Kingdom and joined the demonic path.
The so-called treasure-hunting tournament will be a disaster for the Foundation Establishment cultivators from Yue who go to participate.
They arranged for the invited Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Yue Kingdom to stay alone on a solitary peak and secretly set up a vicious array.
On the day of the conference, the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators activated a pre-prepared array. Except for Han Li, who managed to escape by chance thanks to his quick wit and luck, almost all the participating cultivators were cruelly sacrificed to become the Ghost Spirit Sect's resources for cultivating evil arts!
And Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, was always accompanied by two Core Formation stage cultivators as bodyguards! Those were genuine Core Formation stage cultivators, far beyond what he could currently contend with!
Lin Chuan was self-aware.
With his peak Foundation Establishment cultivation, coupled with the "Awakening of Insects Divine Sword," the "Yellow Sand Small Array," the "Blood Fiend Blade" talisman, the "Spirit Summoning Seal," and other means, he might be able to run rampant during the Foundation Establishment stage, and even be confident in his ability to contend with pseudo-Core Formation cultivators.
But facing two experienced and powerful Core Formation cultivators? That would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, a certain death!
"Absolutely not! This is suicide!" Alarm bells rang in Lin Chuan's mind, and he made a decision instantly.
"...When you leave, do not tarnish the reputation of Li Huayuan!"
Li Huayuan's words still echoed in my ears, clearly showing that he valued this "experience" highly, considering it a good opportunity for his disciple to make a name for himself and broaden his horizons.
Little did he know that behind this seemingly glamorous invitation lay endless murderous intent.
"Disciple obeys! I will do my utmost and will never tarnish Master's reputation!"
Lin Chuan suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his face showing no flaw, and respectfully accepted the invitation.
"Alright! There are still two weeks until the conference. Go back and prepare, and get yourself in the right state. The participants are all the top foundation builders from various countries, so the competition will be fierce, but it is also a good opportunity to hone your skills," Li Huayuan instructed.
"Yes, Master. This disciple takes his leave." Lin Chuan bowed and left Green Wave Cave.
As soon as he left the cave, he immediately boarded the Grey Winged Boat and returned to his Spirit Eye Spring cave at top speed, letting out a long breath of stale air.
"Never go to Yan Family Fort! You don't even need a fortune teller to know it's the worst of the worst!"
Lin Chuan's eyes were sharp.
But since the master's order had been given, openly disobeying it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
We must come up with a foolproof plan.
He quickly began to make plans.
Staying in Huangfeng Valley, as the demonic invasion draws near, the sect will eventually send disciples to various locations to defend and fight.
The danger is considerable, and one has no choice in the matter.
We must seize this opportunity to escape the vortex of Yue, which is about to become a battlefield!
A thought that had been brewing in my heart for a long time suddenly emerged with unparalleled clarity—the Chaotic Star Sea!
The Chaotic Star Sea is a vast sea area outside the Tiannan Continent, a world of cultivation. It is dotted with islands and rich in demonic beast resources. Although the battles are fierce, there are also more opportunities.
More importantly, the independent cultivators there are powerful, unlike Tiannan which is firmly controlled by major sects, making it more suitable for someone like me who has secrets and needs a lot of resources to grow.
In particular, he had just mastered the secret technique of "Spirit Summoning Seal" to enslave demonic beasts, and the Chaotic Star Sea had a large number and variety of demonic beasts, making it a natural "spirit pet ranch"!
If a large number of suitable demon beasts can be enslaved and a demon beast army can be formed, it will provide a powerful support for both establishing a foothold in the Chaotic Star Sea and for a possible return in the future.
And the path to the Sea of Chaos...
Lin Chuan turned his gaze to the southwest.
He remembered clearly that in the southwestern border of Yue Kingdom, near the Yuanwu Kingdom, beneath a vast wilderness, lay an important spirit stone mine jointly controlled by the seven factions of Yue Kingdom.
Deep within an abandoned mine tunnel of this spirit stone mine, nestled within the mountainside, lies a perfectly preserved ancient teleportation array capable of intercontinental travel! It is one of the passages leading to the Chaotic Star Sea!
In the original story, Han Li used this teleportation array to escape Tiannan during the invasion of the demonic path and the chaos in Yue Kingdom, thus beginning his legendary journey through the Chaotic Star Sea.
"That's it!" Lin Chuan made up his mind.
He needed a plausible reason to leave Yellow Maple Valley and get closer to the spirit stone mine.
Then, wait for an opportunity to infiltrate the mine tunnels, find and repair the teleportation array!
The plan has been finalized.
Lin Chuan began preparations.
He spent seven or eight days sorting and categorizing the important items in the cave and bringing them with him.
In particular, the concealment and protective formations set up around the Spirit Eye Spring have been reinforced once again.
Make sure that after you leave, no outsiders will notice anything unusual for a short period of time.
The Bloodline Dragon was still slowly recovering, and he took it along with the spirit beast pouch.
Because the aura of a corpse being refined on his body was difficult to conceal, the transformed soul remained temporarily in the cave.
On the morning of the eighth day, Lin Chuan pretended to be fully prepared and left Huangfeng Valley.
Piloting the gray-winged boat, they swaggered off towards the direction of Yan Family Fortress.
However, after flying for only one day, and after confirming that no one was following or paying attention to him, he immediately changed direction and sped off to the southwest!
The Greywing Boat moved at full speed, becoming an elusive grey shadow, avoiding major cities and markets, and choosing deserted routes instead.
Three days later, a vast, sparsely vegetated wasteland with howling winds came into view.
This place has scarce spiritual energy and a harsh environment, rarely visited by mortals, but it is an important spiritual stone mine jointly controlled by the seven sects of Yue Kingdom.
Lin Chuan lowered his altitude, concealed his aura, and landed behind a weathered rock mountain more than thirty miles from the center of the wasteland.
He did not go directly to the entrance of the Spirit Stone Mine.
The mine was jointly guarded by the seven sects. Although the guard force was not strong in normal times, usually only one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators led a number of Qi Refining disciples.
However, Lin Chuan was not a staff member on duty.
Approaching a spirit stone mine without a legitimate reason will only arouse suspicion and lead to expulsion.
He needed to wait for the right opportunity, a chance that would allow him to "naturally" enter the spirit stone mine and even participate in its defense.
