Chapter 1173 - 1171: Lin Zun

The two of them did not continue to waste time and quickly left Ten Thousand Sword City.

Moreover, they did not disturb anyone.

But this was also Wang Zhan’s intention; after all, he had experts by his side, so he didn’t need to worry much.

In the following days, while Jian Ling and the other were swiftly heading to the Sky Pavilion, Wang Zhan was continuously enhancing his power, and his physical condition had already recovered to its peak, which was indeed a good thing for Wang Zhan.

A few days passed, and Wang Zhan was already standing in front of several people. All of the Hexagonal Golden Snake group were sitting aside inside the City Lord’s Mansion. Seeing that Wang Zhan’s strength had recovered, the Hexagonal Golden Snake revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, quickly walked to Wang Zhan, patted his shoulder, and then said with a smile, "It’s really unexpected that your body actually recovered so quickly, and I feel your strength seems to have improved significantly compared to before?"

"I noticed that too."

"Indeed, after just three days, you should be looked at with new eyes. His strength now can even rival mine, and when using Absolute Heaven’s Sword, I believe even I am not his match, it’s truly enviable."

The Fire Qilin, who was standing aside, spoke with his arms crossed, but his eyes were always on Wang Zhan.

He clearly understood that since meeting Wang Zhan, he had watched Wang Zhan constantly enhance his power almost every day, and it had been like this for years. At that time, he was hiding in Wang Zhan’s embrace, but now he had become a strong individual, yet Wang Zhan’s strength advanced rapidly, seemingly never stopping, which indeed was an astonishing thing.

Perhaps this is talent.

Thinking of all this, the Fire Qilin shook his head again and went on to say, "Compared to this kind of demon, I feel I don’t have any sense of presence at all. I even feel like I haven’t accomplished anything, which indeed is an uncomfortable feeling."

"Now that I’ve been surpassed by this guy, there’s no need to continue staying by his side in the future."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Zhan hurriedly said, "Stop joking with me here. No matter when, you are always my friend and brother, so I absolutely won’t allow you to leave me. Besides, I’ve already promised your mother to take good care of you, and if you escape my sight, how could I explain to your parents?"

The Fire Qilin shook his head, a faint smile showing at the corner of his mouth, while his heart was deeply moved. He clearly knew Wang Zhan had his best interests at heart, and he was merely joking; how could he truly leave Wang Zhan?

"Rest assured, I was just joking with you earlier and had no intention of leaving. Plus, our relationship is solid, and we still have a joint goal. Before achieving this goal, I won’t dare leave easily."

The Fire Qilin had expressed his determination.

The man standing aside then asked with curiosity, "What is your so-called joint goal?"

He also wanted to know what Wang Zhan and the others intended to do.

Meanwhile, the Fire Qilin pursed his lips and smiled, confidently stating, "Actually, the so-called joint goal is naturally to reach the divine domain, that is, to ascend to the highest plane. I also want to see what exists up there, and I want to know how powerful the people there truly are."

"Besides, being with powerful people, I believe my strength can improve a lot too, which would be a good thing for us."

Wang Zhan nodded along, clearly agreeing with the Fire Qilin.

"I didn’t expect you two to be so ambitious, even thinking about matters of the upper plane. But I must remind you, if you truly want to ascend to the upper plane, you’ll need to quickly enhance your power. Given your current strength, you may need a long period of cultivation to attain such an opportunity."

The man spoke slowly, not holding back his opinions.

Wang Zhan and the Fire Qilin exchanged glances, each showing a faint smile. Indeed, having a target is already enough; back then, they started from the lowest plane of the Star War Battlefield and walked step by step to where they are now.

So, naturally, this is no challenge.

"Alright, stop worrying about our matters. Now that Wang Zhan’s strength has recovered, we still need to return to the Sky Pavilion, as it’s the faction we established. If we’re not there to oversee things, I’d worry about potential incidents. So, what are your plans? Do you intend to return to the Sky Pavilion with us or stay in the Thunder Domain?"

The Fire Qilin asked directly.

Actually, Wang Zhan had already discussed with the Fire Qilin, and they naturally wanted the man before them to follow them. After all, his strength was truly terrifying, and even the Hexagonal Golden Snake was no match for him. If such a person could accompany them, it would be a great benefit.

In the future, even if they want to reach higher planes, this man could serve as their guide.

But everything went against their wishes. The man’s mouth showed a slight smile; he shook his head and said slowly, "I’ve never intended to leave the Thunder Domain, as it greatly benefits my Ten Thousand Lightning Formation. I naturally need to elevate the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation to a certain realm before considering other matters."

"Alright, all good things must come to an end. Our ties have reached their conclusion; the road ahead is for you to walk. But I believe one day we’ll meet again on the highest plane. Just don’t forget what happened in Ten Thousand Sword City, as we were once friends!"

Wang Zhan and the others glanced at each other. Although they felt uneasy, they still nodded along.

The man smiled slightly and stopped speaking further, preparing to leave the room.

"Before I leave, there’s one thing you need to remember, my name."

"I am Lin Zun!"

His last words echoed in their ears, followed by a loud sound as the man completely vanished from Wang Zhan and the others’ view.

Wang Zhan and the others exchanged glances and then heard Wang Zhan speak slowly, "I’ve finally learned this guy’s name; just unsure if in the future we can truly accept that many things on the Star War Battlefield can occur anytime, who knows what might happen in the future?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake and Fire Qilin said nothing; it was indeed the truth.

"So, what are your plans?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake focused on Wang Zhan, quickly asking.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, glanced at the lightning in the sky, and then spoke slowly, "I have a thought, which is to use this lightning to enhance the power of the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation again."

"Recently, I’ve not only mastered the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation but also recovered all the power from the Absolute Heaven’s Sword. My current strength has reached peak status, but even so, it’s not sufficient. Lin Zun remained in the Thunder Domain mainly because of the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation, which requires the Nine Heavens Thunder. Now that there is so much thunder power here, how can we let it go to waste?"

While Wang Zhan’s plan seemed good, the Fire Qilin looked worried and quickly asked, "But Lin Zun also practices the same technique; if you absorb all the lightning here now, doesn’t it mean you’re opposing Lin Zun?"

"Although that guy appears amicable, who knows what he might suddenly do?"

The Hexagonal Golden Snake also looked solemn.

Actually, they all understood Lin Zun’s intention simply: he wanted to quickly elevate his strength and reach the highest plane, while opening a divine domain of his own.

However, doing so required spending much time, and the thunder power here was extremely useful to him. If Wang Zhan stepped in to seize this thunder power now, it would directly oppose Lin Zun, and if things soured between them, it could lead to a conflict, complicating the situation further.

Wang Zhan, however, ignored their words, showing a slight smile. Everything was within his plan as he spoke slowly, "You can rest assured; while the Thunder Domain is filled with thunder power, you don’t need to worry too much because even if I absorb all the thunder power, soon the Thunder Domain will produce more lightning. This is the wonder of the Thunder Domain."

"Therefore, my relationship with Lin Zun isn’t competitive; there’s no need to think he’ll be our enemy."

The two exchanged glances, then nodded together.

"Since you’ve made your decision, we won’t say more. The next matter is in your hands; we’ll stay by your side as protectors, doing our best to help you refine the Ten Thousand Lightning Formation quickly."

The Hexagonal Golden Snake followed with a sentence.

Wang Zhan nodded, showing a faint smile, then flew quickly outside.

The two behind him followed his steps without pause.
