I Can Travel between Two Worlds

"Well, might as well go all out, and dig this safe haven a thousand miles underground!"

Thinking of this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated and cast the Earth Escape Technique.

A layer of earthen-colored light emerged on his skin, enveloping Lin Chen completely.

"Earth Escape Technique, Earth Element!"

Wrapped in this earthen glow, Lin Chen sank into the ground.

Like a fish entering water, the soil underground offered him only slight resistance.

Lin Chen powered his legs, continually running deeper into the ground.

This was the second divine technique of the Earth Escape Technique, Earth Element!

It was a more profound existence than the digging technique.

The digging technique allows a cultivator to quickly create space underground.

But the Earth Element technique enables Lin Chen to run freely underground.

However, this Earth Element technique also has its limitations.

Just as there is tremendous pressure in deep waters.

The deeper underground, the greater the pressure.

Though the glow of the Earth Escape Technique greatly reduces this pressure for Lin Chen, it still exists.

A normal Core Formation cultivator’s physique can easily descend a thousand feet underground with the Earth Escape Technique.

But for Lin Chen, diving ten thousand feet downward poses no issue.

Thus, Lin Chen used the Earth Element technique, continuously drilling downward.

A hundred feet, a thousand feet, ten thousand feet...

Thirty thousand feet!

Lin Chen spent a full two-hour descending to thirty thousand feet underground.

By now, the tremendous pressure from the earth was beginning to feel a bit unbearable for Lin Chen.

"Phew, this should do it..."

Lin Chen then used the digging technique to carve out a space in the earth thirty thousand feet down.

The space wasn’t large, roughly two meters high, one meter long and wide.

Just enough for an adult to hide in.

"Phew, with my current strength, I still can’t dive a thousand miles deep in one go."

"So, I must use this space for a temporary rest."

"Once the underground safe haven is fully excavated, these spaces will be needed for rest stops."

Lin Chen stayed in this earth cavern, slightly recovering his True Essence Magical Power.

Thirty thousand feet underground is two hundred miles deep.

At such a depth, even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator would find it nearly impossible to detect.

Though their Divine Sense is sufficient, what Nascent Soul cultivator would have nothing better to do than scan the ground everywhere with their Divine Sense?

Once rested enough, Lin Chen continued using the Earth Element technique to drill downward.

This time, Lin Chen penetrated another ten thousand feet into the ground.

He created an underground space every ten thousand feet to rest.

...

The next night.

Having toiled for two days and one night, Lin Chen finally stopped.

Using the digging technique, he easily excavated a one-zhang square safe haven.

Looking at the pitch-black underground, Lin Chen murmured:

"Phew, this depth of a thousand miles is finally safe..."

"However... even if it’s a safe house, it should still be somewhat livable."

After some thought, Lin Chen used the digging technique again.

A moment later, this space transformed into a safe house one zhang high and ten zhangs in circumference.

Lin Chen took out some nuclear-powered lights and hung them on the walls.

Soon, the pitch-black underground was bright once more.

Lin Chen looked at the spacious safe haven, nodding slightly:

"If I encounter an unbeatable enemy, this underground safe haven will be my trump card for survival!"

"At that time, I might need to hide down here for a year or more, so the living conditions shouldn’t be too harsh."

"Spirit Gathering Array, Concealing Breath Restriction, entertainment facilities... all these need to be set up."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen continued:

"One of these underground safe havens isn’t enough... ideally, there should be dozens or even a hundred."

"Setting one every hundred miles should cover the entire Righteous Alliance area... this way, if danger arises, I can quickly escape to the nearest safe haven."

Lin Chen set about it immediately.

For the coming period, aside from his daily cultivation, Lin Chen would devote some time each day to digging underground.

And every time he returned to Blue Star, Lin Chen would bring back some items, such as entertainment facilities and living supplies...

...

As spring turned to autumn, a year passed in the blink of an eye.

A thousand miles deep underground, in a safe house on the border of Yanlai Country.

Lin Chen placed thousands of Middle Grade Spirit Stones around him.

At the same time, he activated a Concealing Array to ensure that any breakthrough aura wouldn’t leak out.

Having made all the comprehensive preparations, Lin Chen was ready to break through.

With the operation of the Devouring Spirit Root, a large amount of Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Stones surged into Lin Chen’s Dantian.

A night passed...

Thousands of Spirit Stones turned to powder, and Lin Chen’s Dantian was once again filled with True Essence.

Next came the time to compress and purify the True Essence...

Thus, three more days passed.

Under Divine Soul Internal Observation, Lin Chen’s Dantian showed a perfect flawless Golden Core with an additional transparent, misty silk ribbon.

Thus, the Fourth Turn Golden Core was complete!

"Finally, I’ve broken through to the mid-Core Formation stage!"

Lin Chen’s face blossomed with a smile, mid-Core Formation... which had increased his True Essence by about thirty percent!

"Now, my True Essence Magical Power shouldn’t be much inferior to an ordinary Nine Revolutions Golden Core..."

Lin Chen murmured.

The ordinary Nine Revolutions Golden Core refers to a ninth-grade Middle Grade Golden Core.

But there is still a slight gap compared to a seventh or eighth-grade Nine Revolutions Golden Core cultivator.

"Hmm, it seems that this depth of a thousand miles is quite safe..."

"The fluctuations from breaking through a Middle Grade Golden Core didn’t cause too much disturbance."

Lin Chen slowly stood up, looking at the safe house with satisfaction.

After a year of improvements, this safe house had all kinds of facilities.

Multiple defense arrays, Concealing Arrays, Spirit Gathering Arrays...

Entertainment facilities, training equipment...

There was even a large LCD screen.

Make no mistake, this screen wasn’t for entertainment purposes.

It was capable of receiving shared visuals from a Martial Arts Puppet at any time...

So even if Lin Chen was hunkered down a thousand miles underground, he could stay informed about the outside world via the Martial Arts Puppet.

And there were as many as eighty-two such safe houses within the Righteous Alliance’s range!

"Now that the breakthrough is complete, it’s time to head out..."
