I Can Travel between Two Worlds

"Let the Pill Peak and Array Peak Masters stay, the other elders and peak masters can leave first..."

The crowd of elders heard this and prepared to leave, Lin Chen was about to follow.

Just then, Han Jihai pulled him back, signaling Lin Chen not to leave yet.

Once the Inner Hall only had Lin Chen, Han Jihai, and the Array Peak Master left.

Wang Changchun sighed and said:

"Now that there are no outsiders here, Junior Brother Han, Junior Brother Wang, you’ve both been in the sect for hundreds of years; I trust you..."

"And Lin Chen, you’re the most outstanding disciple of Changchun Sect in a thousand years; the future lies in your hands."

"Therefore, I’ll speak plainly."

Lin Chen internally retorted.

"Goodness, he splits things into three waves to say, is this forming three small groups?"

After a pause, Wang Changchun continued:

"I can’t get in touch with the ancestor..."

Upon hearing this, the Array Peak Master was stunned and said:

"The ancestor... hasn’t he always been secluded in the back mountain? Could it be that he’s gone traveling the mortal world?"

"Our ancestor, his erratic nature, we’re aware of it..."

Wang Changchun shook his head, his expression serious:

"No, this time is different."

"The founding ancestor of the Spirit Beast Sect reached his limit several years ago... otherwise, that Spirit Beast Sect wouldn’t have been so easily obliterated!"

"And the ancestor of the Celestial Pill Sect, like Ancestor Changchun... can’t be contacted."

"I suspect..."

At this point, Wang Changchun fell silent.

The Spirit Beast Sect, Celestial Pill Sect, and Changchun Sect are bound together because their three Nascent Soul ancestors came from the same sect and had deep ties.

Eight hundred years ago, they came to the Eastern Domain together and founded the three major sects.

But considering the years passed, even with Treasures of Heaven and Earth extending life...

Nascent Soul cultivators are highly likely to reach their end...

Upon hearing this, Han Jihai froze.

He muttered:

"Then what’s the point of fighting? The ancestor isn’t here... let’s divide the assets and each make our escape..."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Wang Changchun glared at him.

"Haha, all these years... Junior Brother Han is still fond of joking!" The Array Peak Master on the side quickly attempted to soothe.

"So, Senior Brother... what should we do next?"

The Array Peak Master asked.

"Alas, from the looks of it... we can only take it one step at a time."

"If the Demon Sect continues to advance, we’ll have to relinquish the Purple Smoke Realm."

"However... Blood Pupil Old Demon has lived too long and has become too feeble..."

"I think now, he probably can’t act easily, right?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Nascent Soul cultivators are certainly terrifying, but aging Nascent Soul cultivators are even more so.

However, if it’s an aging Nascent Soul cultivator who wishes for longevity, it’s not as frightening...

Because every time he acts, it may greatly reduce his lifespan.

"In any case, I will quickly negotiate with the Celestial Pill Sect Leader next. The frontline arrangements..."

"But this time, there’s no avoiding going to the frontline!"

Wang Changchun commented, a bit of worry in his eyes.

...

Lin Chen returned to Lin’s Small Pavilion, calming his mind to think deeply.

"Blood Pupil Old Demon personally took action, Wan Xun died in battle, the army is pressing forward... simultaneously offering a bounty on me..."

Lin Chen squinted his eyes; this certainly wasn’t good news for him.

"That’s a bounty of three million Spirit Stones; even Golden Core cultivators would be tempted, risking their lives for it!"

"Looks like Xu Shi’s alias will have to remain hidden for a while... I’ll only send out the Martial Arts Puppet to probe a bit."

Lin Chen thought silently.

Fortunately, he still had a few million Spirit Stones on hand, sufficient for cultivation in the coming years.

But remaining out of sight forever isn’t a solution, especially regarding the Guangyuan Auction.

Aside from the stable income of twenty thousand Spirit Stones a month, there are also auction proceeds from the past three months yet to be collected.

"First, I’ll observe the changes for a while, later sending the Martial Arts Puppet to investigate the situation..."

Lin Chen quickly made up his mind.

...

Over the next month, the situation in the Eastern Domain of Qing State underwent dramatic changes.

The Righteous Alliance withdrew completely from the Purple Smoke Country, moving northward to the Fog Country, only six thousand miles apart.

Simultaneously, Changchun Sect and Celestial Pill Sect jointly spurred the relocation of the Righteous Alliance’s strongholds.

From a ten thousand mile battlefield, it was reduced to six thousand miles. Nearly four thousand miles of territory in the Purple Smoke Realm, along with billions of mortals... were abandoned by the Righteous Alliance.

The resulting fate of those mortals, goes unsaid.

But the shorter battle lines allowed the Righteous Alliance to concentrate its forces better.

Just between Changchun Sect and the Celestial Pill Sect, twenty Core Formation cultivators were dispatched.

Plus, other various forces within the Righteous Alliance, given the Four Cultivation Clans, the Yanlai Realm’s Royal Family, each sent one Core Formation cultivator to the front.

Regarding this matter, none were more troubled than the patriarchs of the Four Cultivation Clans.

Originally, they were merely Foundation Establishment cultivators, not having to personally go to the front.

But now, the patriarchs of the Xiao, Li, Cai, and Meng families are all Golden Core, having to face the enemy on the front lines.

Except for Li Dongkun, because Li Zhenqian, as a disciple of the Li Family, personally went to the front.

In comparison, the situation on Pill Peak wasn’t good either.

On this day, Han Jihai summoned several disciples to Pill Peak.

Seeing no outsiders, Han Jihai spoke his true feelings.

"Alas, even Nascent Soul Old Monsters are coming out... what say we make our escape?"

"There’s no need to linger in Changchun Sect, we could flee to the sphere of influence of Wenda Sect, I don’t think the Demon Sect would dare pursue us..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tieshan looked bewildered.

He had just recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, eager to test his abilities on the front lines...

"Master, are we really going to flee?" Zhou Tieshan widened his eyes in surprise.

"Not fleeing? Stay here to die for the Righteous Alliance?"

Han Jihai tried to persuade:

"The ancestor already fled... what reason do we have not to run?"
