Chapter 825 - 385: Return to Sea Abyss City Again

Chapter 825: Chapter 385: Return to Sea Abyss City Again

After Lin Chang’an exited seclusion, the news quickly spread.

Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, and also a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, further tangled with the Sixth Elder of Bihai Palace.

Each of these three points alone would draw attention.

Profound Sound Peak.

Just days after Lin Chang’an discussed the Dao with Fairy Ni Chang, someone came to visit within the Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Greetings, Elder Lin."

The first to arrive were the Zhao Sisters, who cultivated halfway up Celestial Spring Peak.

Speaking of which, Lin Chang’an was also considered a benefactor to the two sisters. The two women formed their cores at Celestial Spring Peak and now cultivate there; they certainly need to acknowledge this favor.

"The two of you are being too courteous."

Subsequently, the two ladies respectfully reported in detail the situation and industries Celestial Spring Peak had managed over the years, and finally presented the Spirit Stones and resources accumulated from more than twenty years of seclusion.

Lin Chang’an accepted it calmly, as the loan of Celestial Spring Peak to them for cultivation wasn’t without a price.

"Mr. Lin, the Secret Realm is about to open, and I’m afraid there will be some turmoil in the Demon Beast Abyss. I plan to arrange for Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing to return to Yue Kingdom..."

Fairy Ni Chang looked at Lin Chang’an and didn’t hide some of the sect’s plans.

"Return to Yue Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an gazed at Fairy Ni Chang with a heavy expression, seemingly understanding something.

Although Profound Sound Pavilion has developed well in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, after all, Yue Kingdom is the foundation.

After all, it’s too volatile here, and what will happen during this upheaval is unknown, so naturally, preserving one’s foundation is the best strategy.

"Lingyue and Lingxing’s cultivation is still lacking, and they practice the Wood Attribute Technique, which is not strong in lethal force. Although Yue Kingdom is affected by miasma, it doesn’t impact them much."

That is indeed true; while the Wood Attribute Technique may be weaker in destruction, it is stronger in toxin resistance.

The current miasma affecting the Spirit Veins of the Seven Kingdoms might not necessarily be a bad thing for Core Formation cultivators of the Wood Attribute.

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but glance at the Zhao Sisters, thinking how lucky they were.

Who knows if Fairy Ni Chang had considered this when cultivating them back then.

Currently, there is truly no one more suitable to return than these two ladies in the entire Profound Sound Pavilion.

The stronger cultivators like Xu Lingfeng or Liu Ruyu, upon returning, might find their cultivation hindered by the miasma.

The miasma affecting the Seven Kingdoms’ Spirit Veins is now a chicken rib; with the Zhao Sisters at Core Formation Early Stage cultivation, returning is just right.

If something unexpected happens in the Demon Beast Abyss, Profound Sound Pavilion won’t be cut off from its legacy.

"Mr. Ni Chang is indeed far-sighted."

Finally, regarding this Fairy Ni Chang, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but sigh. Profound Sound Pavilion is truly fortunate to cultivate such a person.

"You flatter me."

Though the Zhao Sisters wanted to stay, they understood the sect’s grand plans and therefore silently complied with the Sect Leader’s command.

After the two left, Fairy Ni Chang solemnly said:

"Mr. Lin, for this journey into the Secret Realm, I hope we will meet again in the future."

The implied meaning was not lost on Lin Chang’an, who nodded and said, "We will."

It seems Fairy Ni Chang has already obtained the Secret Realm Fragment, and these arrangements are to give Profound Sound Pavilion an escape route.

...

After leaving Profound Sound Peak, Lin Chang’an rode the Cyan-Horned Bull towards Celestial Spring Peak.

A moment later, the Cyan-Horned Bull touched down with its four hooves, and Lin Chang’an, along with the Sword Servant, returned to this long-absent cave abode.

"It’s been over twenty years since I’ve been here, and it’s still the same."

Although the cave abode was tightly closed, the pavilion and the surrounding Spirit Grass were meticulously cared for, clearly indicating the effort of the Zhao Sisters.

Upon entering the cave abode and seeing many familiar furnishings, Lin Chang’an showed a trace of melancholy but then said solemnly:

"Ling’Er, pack up, for after the Secret Realm, we might have to leave for a while."

"Yes, Master."

The Sword Servant did not hesitate; for her, even though there was some reluctance, being able to follow her master was most important.

"Two months later, Profound Sound Pavilion’s merchant ship will head to Yue Kingdom, and the escort for the resources will be the Zhao Sisters."

Recalling what Fairy Ni Chang said before he left, he couldn’t help but smile wryly.

It was clear Fairy Ni Chang wanted to borrow his name, conveniently matching his trip to Sea Abyss City.

With his reputation, a lot of unnecessary trouble could be avoided along the way.

"There are also so many Spirit Grass and Spirit Fruits cultivated on Celestial Spring Peak, many of which have been nurtured for over a hundred years. Sometimes, it’s truly a bit hard to let go."

Exiting the cave abode, looking at the beautiful scene of Celestial Spring, Lin Chang’an shook his head.

If one doesn’t become a Nascent Soul, one remains akin to an ant.

This time, with Yun Yao defecting, staying temporarily in the Demon Beast Abyss is not feasible.

Next, Celestial Spring Peak began to clear out these resources, almost all of which were purchased by Profound Sound Pavilion.

This scene did not cause much surprise; many cultivators were choosing to do this during such upheaval.

Even those not going to the Secret Realm feared their accumulated possessions would become wedding clothes for others.

And for those preparing to enter the Secret Realm, nothing need be said; if lucky enough to come out alive, they would have to hide for a while.

You claim you didn’t get any treasure, who would believe that?

Only those cultivators backed by top-tier Nascent Soul great powers can disregard this.

For loose cultivators like them, from small places, caution is most important.

Also, after each Secret Realm turmoil, several decades to a century later, some cultivators emerge with significantly improved cultivation, such as this Red Fire Old Demon.

After the Secret Realm ended, everyone thought this person had perished; who would have thought he returned and formed a Nascent Soul, delivering a shocking comeback.
