I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly as he executed the Earth Escape Technique.

His figure ran swiftly underground, reaching pre-established transit spaces every tens of thousands of miles.

In doing so, it took about one two-hour period for Lin Chen to return to the surface.

"Within this Righteous Alliance territory, roughly every hundred miles, there’s a safe house to be found."

"If I encounter danger, I can swiftly locate a safe spot... then use the Earth Escape Technique to delve a thousand miles deep underground within one two-hour period."

"In this way, it’s incredibly safe."

Lin Chen was thoroughly familiar with the locations of the eighty-two safe houses.

After returning to the surface, he glanced around and quickly determined his direction.

"Hmm, it’s been over a year since I’ve been to the frontlines. I suppose it’s time to harvest some chives again."

Lin Chen murmured to himself.

The Fourth Turn Golden Core, combined with the martial power of a Middle Level Martial Venerable, made Lin Chen fearless even when facing the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

Speaking of the eastern border of Qing State, within thousands of miles, those below Nascent Soul should not be Lin Chen’s match...

Thinking of this, Lin Chen transformed into an Escape Light and flew northward.

...

Noontime the next day, Beiwang City.

Lin Chen accepted a bag of Spirit Stones, and upon verifying the amount, he nodded and said:

"Younger Brother Wan, the trade is complete. I won’t stay in this place long, I still need to do more trades in other cities."

Wan Xun nodded upon hearing this and suddenly said:

"Brother Xu, if you have time, you could visit Luoyan City."

"It seems Luoyan City is lacking in Magical Treasures and Pills right now; I’m sure you could make a lot of Spirit Stones..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s heart was stirred, and he cupped his hands, saying, "That’s great, thank you for the reminder, Younger Brother Wan!"

He did not stay long in Beiwang City and went directly northward to Luoyan City.

Within the borders of Purple Smoke Country, there are three frontline cities of the Righteous Alliance.

The cities are Purple Smoke City, Beiwang City, and Luoyan City.

These three cities stand in mutual complement to resist the invasion of Demon Path cultivators.

Among them, Luoyan City is the closest to the Spirit Beast Sect ruins, which are now the main base of the Demon Sect.

The distance is no more than three thousand miles.

From Beiwang City to near Luoyan City, the distance is approximately a thousand miles.

Lin Chen harnessed the Blue Jade Gourd and flew north.

Flying across mountains and rivers...

The further north he went, the tighter Lin Chen’s brow furrowed.

From Beiwang City heading north, over a course of several hundred miles, Lin Chen didn’t see a single living person.

Passing through four or five small cities and dozens of villages.

Looking down from high above, it was desolate and covered with corpses...

"Alas, back in the day, this was the northern economic center of Purple Smoke Country, with countless mortals and fertile fields..."

"But now..."

Lin Chen sighed.

Since the Demon Sect’s invasion, it has been merely five short years.

Countless cultivators have died in battle, likely numbering tens of thousands...

The mortals who have died are certainly in the tens of millions.

Describing this as "a locust plague leaving no grass alive" couldn’t be more apt.

Flying hundreds of feet high in the air, Lin Chen looked down.

He saw, faintly, black qi gathering over the corpse-covered land.

Lin Chen frowned slightly at this sight.

"Too many mortals have died, and most have died tragically..."

"In chaotic times, abominations inevitably arise... The ghosts of these deceased mortals have transformed into Karmic Force and resentment... It’s already affecting this land, and very terrifying monsters could be born."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly; he had no solution for this Karmic Force and resentment.

Unless the Demon Sect is eradicated, and then invite high monks and cultivators to come and liberate the ghosts for years... maybe they can eliminate this Karmic Force.

"Alas..."

Lin Chen didn’t dare to look any longer and continued flying north.

After flying another hundred miles, Lin Chen still saw no villages.

Suddenly, several Flying Swords flew toward him, directly striking Lin Chen’s Protective True Essence.

BANG!

With a crisp sound, Lin Chen deflected the Flying Swords using his Protective True Essence.

At the same time, dozens of auras surged toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, and looked to see that the arrivals were all Tribulation Cultivators and Demon Cultivators.

Numbering about thirty, each looking fierce, with darkened brows, clearly burdened with Karmic Force... Their cultivation ranged from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Kid, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the valuable treasures! Grandpa will leave you a whole corpse..."

"Hahahaha..."

The leading Demon Cultivator sneered, aggressively approaching Lin Chen with the advantage of numbers.

The dozens of Demon Cultivators behind him also showed wicked smiles.

Upon witnessing this, Lin Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered:

"Business delivered to my door, is there such a good thing?"

Then, several dozen sword lights and Sword Qi flickered.

Dozens of heads rolled onto the ground, and Lin Chen picked up the Storage Bag, too lazy to gather the corpses, continuing onward.

Traveling another hundred miles or so...

"Kid, hand over the valuable treasures if you know what’s good for you..."

Lin Chen: "..."

Thus, Lin Chen made another small fortune.

From Beiwang City to Luoyan City, the distance was no more than a thousand miles.

On the way, Lin Chen encountered a total of three gangs of Demon Cultivators robbing him.

Having killed about a hundred Demon Cultivators, Lin Chen earned several tens of thousands of Spirit Stones...

"Tsk tsk, honestly, just wandering around for a few days could fill one’s pockets."

Lin Chen shook his head gently, with a hint of amusement.

And how long has it been?

The entire frontline of Purple Smoke Country has become so chaotic that within a few hundred miles, encountering three gangs of Evil Cultivators robbing...

No wonder these hundreds of miles are deserted, presumably all slaughtered clean by those Demon Cultivators.

"Alas, but fishing for lawbreakers doesn’t seem wise... what if things go wrong one day?"

Just as Lin Chen was pondering this, he suddenly sensed a commotion from afar.

BOOM!

Suddenly, dozens of miles away, a thunderous crash echoed through the sky.

Purple lightning struck down, its enormous ripple causing the world to stir up a gale.
