Capítulo 3637: Chapter 3656: Land of the Outer Domain
When Lin Chen returned to the Heavenly Crane Sect, he only brought Duanmu Wen and Charming Erosion with him. Later, upon learning that they were heading to the Outer Domain, which was fraught with dangers, he made another trip back to the Wolong Sect to bring along An Wenwei, a first-rate saint.
Although there were other saints in the Wolong Sect, Lin Chen did not trust them.
The numerous secrets on Lin Chen weren’t appropriate for them to know.
As the Sect Master, Yu Qianfan naturally possessed great strength. Although he might not be able to achieve top-tier saint status, he surely was a powerhouse within the first-rate sequence. However, after evaluating, he believed An Wenwei’s strength wasn’t inferior to his own.
The regard that Yu Qianfan had for Lin Chen instantly ascended a few more steps.
He even collaborated with the saints, letting them follow him and become his bodyguards. So what if he intended to make a move against Huo Lingshuang?
In the face of saints, Huo Lingshuang probably wouldn’t even have the strength to retaliate before being obliterated.
Although doing so might be somewhat risky, it seemed to be the most probable course of action Lin Chen would take for the sake of seeking freedom.
He hasn’t done so now, possibly because the Heavenly Crane Sect indeed treats him decently, providing him with a stable identity?
Thinking of this, Yu Qianfan subconsciously linked it to what Lin Chen mentioned, saying Ning Hesheng had released his control and mentioned that Ning Hesheng had become a saint, with the two even cooperating. Was this true or false?
Could it be that Ning Hesheng had already been exterminated?
The more Yu Qianfan pondered, the more unsettled he felt. It seemed he truly needed to have Huo Lingshuang release her control upon his return this time.
Otherwise, he’d first end up not keeping his word, and the counterpart, if anxious, might unavoidably take action against Huo Lingshuang.
If he truly reached this step, it couldn’t help but lead to even larger losses. With his divine powers, as long as he was free from control, he could instantly leave, reaching a faraway place, making it utterly impossible for anyone to find him.
The matter was thus settled, and Lin Chen continued to wait with peace of mind.
Finally, after half a month of waiting, the space channel finally opened.
Lin Chen walked out of the room, gazing at the Sky Dome, watching the cloud holes in the sky similar to those during Crossing Tribulation, marveling secretly in his heart.
When the space-time teleportation gate in the sky finally stabilized, the saints who had long been waiting did not hesitate anymore, taking flight one after another, rising to the sky, and throwing themselves into the vortex gate.
Yu Qianfan was not in a hurry, waiting for those powerful sects in front to enter first, and only then did he lead the saints of the Heavenly Crane Sect to rise to the sky.
There was no unusual feeling, Lin Chen only felt a blackout in front of his eyes, and then he already appeared in the starry sky.
Lin Chen looked back, discovering a vortex hanging in the starry sky, resembling the Star River, appearing very dazzling.
Lin Chen instinctively checked the “Star Map” in his mind, and indeed, it was all black, with no sense of direction, indicating that his current position had already exceeded the maximum distance of star sky jump.
Relying on star sky jump to return to the Heavenly God Realm was entirely impossible.
“Is the duration of the channel fixed? Aren’t you worried about any special circumstances causing it to close prematurely?”
Yu Qianfan extended his hand, revealing a black hourglass in the palm of his hand, with formation patterns engraved on its surface.
“Yes, the duration is fixed each time, so we in the Eleventh District have a standardized hourglass for timekeeping. Once we enter, we activate the array formation, and the sand inside the hourglass will slowly fall. When all the sand has fallen, it means the space channel is about to close, and we must return quickly, otherwise, we may be abandoned in this Star Domain.”
Lin Chen took the hourglass and injected spiritual power, the formation patterns on the hourglass instantly emitted radiance, and the interior of the hourglass was activated at once.
“If we don’t make it back, will staying here lead to death?”
“It will be very dangerous, but it doesn’t necessarily mean death.”
Yu Qianfan laughed and said, “In previous openings of the channel, there were also people who were left in this Star Domain due to not returning in time. They survive here, waiting for the next opening of the space-time teleportation gate.”
“It’s said to be dangerous because this is the territory of the Heavenly Demons, where being alone can easily make you prey to the Heavenly Demons. But if your strength is formidable, and you possess divine powers for escape, living here is not much of a problem.”
“In the past, there have been people who survived here for thousands of years alone, enduring brutally until the next opening of the space-time teleportation gate, then returning to the Heavenly God Realm.”
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s still alright, if truly missed, just find a place to hide, waiting for the next time to return.”
Yu Qianfan laughed: “Unless something unusual happens with the space-time teleportation gate, causing it to close prematurely, otherwise, anyone might miss the teleportation to return, but it will certainly not be you.”
Lin Chen chuckled, sweeping his gaze to the left and right: “What do we do now?”
Yu Qianfan explained: “Heavenly Demons are capable of absorbing cosmic energy, so they harbor hostility towards kinsmen within a certain range. They instinctively feel that these neighbors come to seize the original star sky energy, and coupled with their inherently violent and belligerent nature, battles, injuries, and killings often occur among Heavenly Demons. The victor becomes king, gaining territory, but the loser either loses their life, becoming the opponent’s prey, or embarrassingly flees.”
“Precisely because of this, most Heavenly Demons live and practice alone. However, Heavenly Demons have a unique means of communication among themselves, so when facing Heavenly Demons, one must be cautious of their calls for aid.”
“Heavenly Demons typically do not call for aid if they have the upper hand in strength, as the opponent is just prey to them. But if they’re lacking in power, then they will seek help, finding reinforcements.”
“According to the Heavenly Demons’ rules, if reinforcements are summoned and victory is achieved, the Heavenly Demon who called for help has to pay a heavy price. If there are no spoils of war, they need to empty their own pockets to thank the reinforcements. If there are spoils, the aiding Heavenly Demons will receive most of them.”
“Thus, Heavenly Demons generally live alone and travel independently. As long as you prudently utilize this characteristic of theirs, you might avoid the reinforcements they call.”
Lin Chen nodded, expressing understanding.
This means to feign weakness to the enemy and then fiercely annihilate them, leaving no opportunity for the counterpart to call for rescue.
“These are roughly the rules, and the rest is up to everyone to act independently. If you encounter a Heavenly Demon that cannot be dealt with or face danger, activate the token Lin Chen gave at the earliest opportunity.”
After Yu Qianfan finished speaking, Lin Chen reminded: “Everyone should try to activate the token in the safest places possible, facilitating my teleportation. Don’t call me to extremely dangerous places. When I teleport over, if I get obliterated at once, then no one will be there to help you escape.”
All the people nodded in agreement.
If they truly call Lin Chen, it definitely means they’re asking Lin Chen to save them. If executed improperly, resulting in the demise of Lin Chen, the “Sub-Saint”, then they wouldn’t be able to escape either, would they?
“Everything necessary has been communicated, no more unnecessary talk, let’s go!”
