Chapter 1523: Chapter 1522: Everyone’s Thoughts

"That person’s strength is terrifyingly high. Instead of worrying about him, you should focus on improving your own abilities."

Hong Ye said coldly.

With the strength of that Cyan-robed Guest, I’m afraid that within the whole Tianyuan Continent, there are very few people who can do anything about him. Such level figures don’t need Liu Feiyue to worry.

"You’re right."

A faint light flickered in Liu Feiyue’s beautiful eyes. Hearing the news of the Cyan-robed Guest in the Nine Provinces Land, she no longer hesitated and said to Xiao Muyu and Feng Piaoliu, "If that’s the case, then I’ll also go to the Nine Provinces with you."

"That’s more like it."

A trace of a smile appeared on Xiao Muyu’s pretty face.

Nie Wu Xiang said, "Then in that case, let’s deal with the aftermaths of our sect before we leave. After everyone has finished handling their affairs, we can choose a day to head to the Nine Provinces."

Since they’ve all decided to go to the Nine Provinces Land, it would be better to travel together. This way, they can reduce the danger along the journey, and besides, they need to handle a lot of affairs before leaving the Cloud Outland. Given their positions in their respective sects, they can’t just leave suddenly.

Ling Chen then briefly explained the precautions for going to the Nine Provinces, such as the Chaotic Mind Canyon that must be crossed, and the first stop from Cloud Outland to Nine Provinces—Yi Zhou, which is the territory of Sichuan Tangmen. Tang Sect isn’t to be trifled with, but if they encounter any difficulties, it’s also fine. If worst comes to worst, Ling Chen instructed them to mention his name then, as Tang Sect now should lack the courage to oppose him.

"By the way, Ling Chen,"

Just as Ling Chen had explained the matters, Feng Piaoliu suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Chen, "Have you found Junior Sister Xu during your trip to Nine Provinces?"

Before, in the Five Kingdoms, he already knew about the disappearance of Xu Ruoyan, and one of Ling Chen’s purposes in going to Nine Provinces was to find Xu Ruoyan’s whereabouts.

He didn’t know if Ling Chen’s search had yielded results.

"I have found her,"

Mentioning Xu Ruoyan, Ling Chen’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten, then he said, "But she seems to have encountered something and forgot all about the past. It might take some time to help her remember."

If Xu Ruoyan didn’t have the identity of Xuannv, he would have already kept her by his side, but obviously, Great Mysterious Heavenly Dao wouldn’t allow him to do so.

"It’s good that you’ve found her. I’m entrusting my junior sister to you."

Feng Piaoliu sighed in relief. Since his master’s death, he had to take good care of this junior sister. He often worried about Xu Ruoyan’s safety. Now, hearing Ling Chen say this, he felt relieved.

"Don’t worry."

Ling Chen nodded. This kind of thing didn’t need Feng Piaoliu’s reminder; he would also do his utmost.

...

After Ling Chen defeated the Tianyuan Ancestor and stabilized the situation, the entire Five Kingdoms’ Martial World regained peace.

And the remnants of the Tianyuan Ancestor quickly scattered, falling apart. Originally, it was only the Tianyuan Ancestor who did evil, and after his death, his so-called subordinates almost all fled.

After stabilizing the situation, Ling Chen didn’t stay in the Cloud Outland for long. After visiting the Divine Intent Sect and Saint Witch Religion, he stayed only a few days before setting out again. After bidding farewell to Liu Feiyue, Xiao Muyu, and others, he headed back to the Nine Provinces Land.

Although Liu Feiyue and Xiao Muyu also planned to go to the Nine Provinces, they wouldn’t go so soon, possibly not even within a year or two. Ling Chen naturally wouldn’t wait around; he still had his matters to handle.

High above in the sky, on the back of a red bird-shaped flying puppet, sat two figures; they were Ling Chen and Hong Ye, just having left the Five Kingdoms.

Hong Ye was controlling the puppet, while Ling Chen took advantage of these few days to digest his gains from the Sword Prison.

When clearing the Sword Prison, Ling Chen obtained thousands of powerful sword techniques, all extremely exquisite. Regardless of whether they were suitable, they provided great reference value and could definitely be utilized by Ling Chen.

Ling Chen needed to extract the essence contained in these sword techniques, integrate them into his own sword techniques, and even, based on his own accumulation and background, study new sword techniques.

This process is a long-term and complex one.

Turning someone else’s things into his own is not easy. It’s difficult even in academic study, let alone in mastering swordsmanship.

However, Ling Chen was not in a hurry; haste makes waste, otherwise, even if a new sword technique is created in a short time, it would be useless and meaningless.

Thus, half a month quickly passed by.

Ling Chen and Hong Ye riding the flying puppet had left the Cloud Outland and finally entered the Nine Provinces territory.

In this period, Ling Chen digested many of the advanced sword techniques from the Sword Prison, benefiting him greatly. Meanwhile, he refined and perfected his previous sword techniques, increasing their power.

As for new sword techniques, they were still in the brewing process and had not been developed.

The crafting of sword techniques is akin to sword casting; creating a world-renowned treasure sword requires a long time in the furnace, and the creation of sword techniques needs a sculpting process.

As the saying goes, "The jade doesn’t become a tool without chiseling," that’s precisely the truth.

"Where are we now?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Ling Chen’s gaze fell on the enticing red silhouette ahead, and he asked softly.

"According to the map, we should have entered the Yizhou Territory,"

Hong Ye examined the map in her hand. Her slender fingers moved across the map and finally stopped at a mountain range location, then said, "Not far ahead is a mountain range called Tiandang Mountain."

"Tiandang Mountain?"

Hearing the name, Ling Chen’s expression shifted slightly. This place gave him a sense of familiarity, and soon he recalled what this place was.

"Find a place nearby to land."

Ling Chen instructed Hong Ye.

"Land here? We haven’t reached the final destination yet."

Hong Ye was slightly surprised. If she remembered correctly, their final destination was Yangzhou, still quite a distance away.

"Not yet. Before that, we need to visit an old acquaintance."

Ling Chen replied with a faint smile.

"As you command."

Hong Ye asked no further questions and maneuvered the flying puppet toward the ground below.
