"There've been too many things to handle over the years, and only recently have I found some respite. I won't be able to stay in the Eastern Domain for long before I have to leave again."
Lin Chen looked at Xia Wanxin and said lightly.
"Not for long?"
Upon hearing that Lin Chen would soon leave again, Xia Wanxin pursed her lips slightly and clenched her jade-like hands.
Lin Chen's gaze fell on Xia Wanxin, discovering that she'd actually broken through to the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm, two levels higher than himself.
"Your cultivation hasn't lagged behind; breaking through to the Ninth Level of the Nirvana Realm is quite commendable."
Lin Chen looked at Xia Wanxin and said lightly.
Upon hearing the praise from Lin Chen, Xia Wanxin felt a burst of joy in her heart.
"You didn't let me take risks and kill enemies, but my cultivation resources weren't any less than others'. Naturally, I had to cultivate well so that I wouldn't hold you back when you need me in the future."
Xia Wanxin looked at Lin Chen tenderly and said softly.
"The cultivation technique you practice isn't suited for fighting on the battlefield; focusing on cultivation before achieving great success is the best choice."
"Moreover, as a girl, I wouldn't bear sending you to the front lines to fight."
Lin Chen looked at Xia Wanxin and said lightly.
Lin Chen was indeed surprised by Xia Wanxin's cultivation speed.
Lin Chen and Xia Wanxin sat together embraced, while Qiu Ya also came over, and the three spent the afternoon like this.
Until evening, Lin Chen's Communication Jade Slip flashed again. When Lin Chen opened it, he found that the message was from Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
It seemed Lin Chen must return to Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
After these days of cultivation, the Three Pure Spirits Painting technique of his Second Soul Division finally broke through to the Tenth Level Realm, and the Soul Capture Technique also broke through to the Third Layer.
Moreover, the cultivation of his Second Soul Division was about to break through to the Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Lin Chen prepared to return to Yunlong Heavenly Palace, while his Second Soul Division still needed to oversee the Eastern Domain.
The Second Soul Division emerged from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron and immediately cast a spell to teleport to Descension Cave Mansion.
Upon entering Descension Cave Mansion, Lin Chen's Second Soul Division immediately sat down to meditate and entered seclusion, preparing to break through to the Peak of the Nirvana Realm.
Breaking through cultivation in Descension Cave Mansion could avoid the troubles brought by the phenomena of heaven and earth, while also providing feedback to Descension Cave Mansion, allowing Lin Chen to refine Descension Cave Mansion.
It's worth noting that although Lin Chen's Second Soul Division had complete control over Descension Cave Mansion, it had yet to be completely refined.
Subsequently, Lin Chen said goodbye to Xia Wanxin again and used the Teleportation Array to return to Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
Although Lin Chen's main body left again, his Second Soul Division remained in the Eastern Domain.
So to everyone, Lin Chen was always present, after all, his Second Soul Division was connected to Lin Chen's Divine Soul; to everyone, the two Lin Chen were without any difference.
"Ah, you little brat, you finally teleported back, making me wait so long. Quickly tell me how you managed to use this teleportation array. I refuse to believe it; quickly tell me the method so I can try it out too."
Lin Chen never expected that the elderly Xiao Chitai had been squatting by the teleportation array at Yunlong Heavenly Palace, waiting for his return.
As soon as Lin Chen returned, the old guy Xiao Chitai grabbed him, and despite Xiao Chitai's seemingly ordinary appearance, Lin Chen couldn't break free.
Facing Xiao Chitai, Lin Chen found himself with a headache, secretly thinking how idle this old guy could be, waiting here all this time.
"Instructor Xiao, let's talk nicely. Can you put me down first?"
Lin Chen didn't want to be held like a chick, so he addressed Xiao Chitai immediately.
"Kid, speak up! How did you use it? Don't think of slipping away from under my nose."
Xiao Chitai released Lin Chen and said lightly, as if sure Lin Chen wouldn't be able to escape.
"Instructor Xiao, you can't use this Spatial Teleportation Array, and the reason is simple. After I teleported over, I closed the teleportation array on the other side, this teleportation array requires both sides to be open simultaneously for transportation."
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Chitai and said lightly.
"No wonder! I tried all sorts of methods and couldn't teleport; turns out you brat closed the teleportation array on the other side."
"Brat, hurry up and activate this teleportation array; let me experience it once."
Xiao Chitai looked at Lin Chen with an expectant expression.
"Sorry, Instructor Xiao, I can't light up the teleportation array for you. The other side of the teleportation array is my hometown; given your status, if you go over, it will surely disturb the peace there. I cannot let you go."
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Chitai and said lightly.
"I won't do anything; I just want to experience teleportation. Hurry up and activate it for me."
Xiao Chitai didn't care about Lin Chen's reasons and urged him immediately.
However, no matter what Xiao Chitai said, Lin Chen remained unmoved.
"Kid, open it for me, or else believe it when I say I'll lock you up until you agree to activate the teleportation array."
Xiao Chitai looked at Lin Chen and threatened him.
"Senior, no matter what you say or do, I won't open the teleportation array, and moreover, I returned because Senior Sister Zi Ling asked me to. If you lock me up, Senior Sister Zi Ling will surely come to demand my release."
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Chitai, completely unyielding to the threat.
He had already figured out that the old guy in front of him feared Zi Ling.
When Lin Chen brought up Zi Ling, Xiao Chitai indeed showed some fear, reluctantly backing down a bit.
But it seemed he wasn't willing to let Lin Chen go just like that.
"Hmph, don't think I'm scared just because you mentioned that girl. Believe it or not, I'll spread the news about your teleportation array."
Xiao Chitai looked at Lin Chen and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes turned cold; anything threatening his family was viewed as a threat by Lin Chen.
Only Xiao Chitai's strength was unfathomable; Lin Chen couldn't do anything to him.
"Senior, what exactly do you want before you relent? I absolutely cannot let you use this teleportation array."
Lin Chen looked at Xiao Chitai and said lightly.
"Hehe, here's the deal. I won't use the teleportation array, but you need to give me some spirit crystals as money for drinks. Let's say ten million or eighty thousand low-grade spirit crystals."
Xiao Chitai looked at Lin Chen and asked exorbitantly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's face immediately turned gloomy.
"Ten million low-grade spirit crystals, why don't you go rob it?"
