289: True God Realm, Third Level

"What are you still lingering for? Get lost." Zhou Jiecheng cast a cold glance at Yang Lingchen.

Just then, without any warning, Yang Lingchen suddenly swung his staff towards Zhou Jiecheng.

"Bang...!"

"Ah... Ah... Ah...!"

The unprepared Zhou Jiecheng had his front teeth knocked out and let out a miserable scream.

If Yang Lingchen hadn't held back, his head probably would have been smashed to pieces.

"Bang... Bang... Bang...!"

"F*ck you, that's what you get for running your mouth." Yang Lingchen pressed his advantage, swinging his heaven-reaching staff and beating him wildly.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhou Jiecheng's limbs were broken by Yang Lingchen, and his head was beaten into a pig's head.

The subordinates who came with Zhou Jiecheng were all dumbfounded, and none dared to step forward to help.

After all, Yang Chen was once the Saint of Hantian Sect. How could these Inner Sect Disciples dare to offend Yang Chen, especially since Yang Chen was also the Sect Master's Personal Disciple?

After dealing with Zhou Jiecheng, Yang Lingchen took Xiao Jin and left Han Shao Peak, flying toward the Hantian Sect Outer Sect.

Yang Lingchen didn't pay much attention to Han Shao Peak. What he cared about most now was strength; as long as his strength increased, he could have anything he desired.

Before long, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Hantian Sect Outer Sect Elder Courtyard.

The Outer Sect Elders dared not neglect Yang Chen, the former Saint, and quickly welcomed him inside.

Although the Sect had demoted Yang Chen to an Outer Sect Disciple, he was still the Sect Master's Disciple, so these Outer Sect Elders dared not offend him in the slightest.

After registering at the Outer Sect Elder Courtyard, Yang Lingchen was assigned his dormitory, a small single room.

Just then, Yang Lingchen's sound transmission talisman vibrated, and the voice of Sect Master Liu Suxue came through: "Chener, your master believes you will prove yourself again. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Yang Lingchen set up a defensive formation in his dormitory, then slipped into the haotian jade space and began secluded Cultivation.

Since he had exchanged for enough Medicinal Ingredients at the Merit Hall last time, Yang Lingchen would not lack any resources in the short term.

The Small World newly opened within the haotian jade space was now on the right track. Heavenly Origin Palace, Immortal Sword Sect, the Yang Family, and all of Yang Lingchen's friends had been incorporated into Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

Everyone was very satisfied with the life inside, as the Spiritual Qi in the haotian jade space was hundreds of times richer than that of the Tianfeng World.

Inside, everyone's cultivation level had rapidly improved.

Yang Lingchen promised everyone that as long as their cultivation level Broke Through to the Phantom God Realm, he would allow them to go out and explore.

At the same time, Hantian Sect did not issue any punishment for Yang Lingchen crippling Zhou Jiecheng, which made Zhou Jiecheng extremely depressed.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

After half a year of arduous Cultivation, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level finally Broke Through to the third level of the True God Realm.

As his cultivation level Broke Through to the third level of the True God Realm, Yang Lingchen's resources were also completely depleted.

However, he didn't care, as the former Yang Chen had quite a few contribution points.

"It's time to exchange for some more Medicinal Ingredients."

Yang Lingchen used the Breath Concealment Technique to suppress his cultivation level to the first level of the True God Realm, left his dormitory, and headed straight for the Merit Hall.

The Merit Hall.

This was where Hantian Sect exchanged for Secret Treasures, and Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Core Disciples all made their exchanges here.

"Look quickly, it's Senior Brother Yang Chen."

"Are you stupid? Still calling him Senior Brother? He's just an Outer Sect Disciple now."

"Senior Brother Yang Chen was good to us back then. Even if he's an Outer Sect Disciple now, he'll always be my Senior Brother."

"Just say things like that around me. If Senior Brother Zhen hears it, you'll be in trouble."

Yang Lingchen's arrival immediately attracted the attention of many people.

After all, the former Yang Chen was truly too dazzling for the Hantian Sect; even when placed in the entire Black Cloud Realm, he was considered a top-tier Genius.

"Yang Chen, your Merit Card is a Saint Merit Card, and it has now been frozen," said Merit Hall Elder Zhou Sihong.

"Why? All the contribution points inside were earned by myself," Yang Lingchen said, frowning.

"Yang Chen, there is only one Saint Merit Card, and since you are no longer the Saint, this card has been frozen."

Zhou Sihong curled his lip into a sneer. He was originally a supporter of Zhen Tianyu, and since he was an Elder of the Merit Hall, freezing an Outer Sect Disciple's Merit Card was effortless for him. Furthermore, his justification was excellent, and even if the Merit Hall Master knew, they wouldn't do anything to him.

Yang Lingchen could tell that Zhou Sihong was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he endured it. After all, his current strength was not yet sufficient to allow him to openly clash with Zhou Sihong.

"If it's frozen, then so be it! Get me a new one!" Yang Lingchen said coldly.

Since the Saint Merit Card was unusable, Yang Lingchen could only rely on completing missions to earn contribution points.

"Take it!" Zhou Sihong quickly processed a new Merit Card for Yang Lingchen.

Yang Lingchen took the Merit Card and walked towards the Mission Hall.

The priority was still to earn some contribution points first. After all, once the cultivation level reached the True God Realm, relying solely on self-Cultivation made the speed of Breakthrough very slow.

Ordinary Geniuses, without the aid of resources, would require at least several decades to Break Through a Minor Realm in the True God Realm.

Even though Yang Lingchen possessed a Heaven-Defying Secret Treasure like the Vast Heaven Jade, it would still take him more than half a year to Break Through a Minor Realm.

But if he had inexhaustible resources, the Breakthrough would be much faster.

After arriving at the Mission Hall, Yang Lingchen immediately took all the Alchemy missions available there.

"Yang Chen, are you sure you want to take these Alchemy missions?"

Mission Hall Master Sun Congxiang frowned. He knew Yang Chen quite well and had never heard that Yang Chen knew Alchemy.

"I am sure," Yang Lingchen said with a firm tone.

"Yang Chen, although this old man trusts your character, these Medicinal Ingredients are too precious. If you want to take these Alchemy missions, you need to demonstrate your Alchemy Technique, otherwise this old man cannot let you take the ingredients back," Sun Congxiang said gravely.

These Medicinal Ingredients were painstakingly gathered by Hantian Sect Disciples. If Yang Chen wasted them, he would be unable to account for it.

"No problem. I can demonstrate my Alchemy Technique right now."

After speaking, Yang Lingchen retrieved the black cauldron and a set of Medicinal Ingredients from the haotian jade space, then began refining True God Pills.

Seeing that Yang Lingchen truly began Alchemy, Sun Congxiang watched from the side with interest.

"Look quickly, Yang Chen is performing Alchemy."

"Yang Chen knows Alchemy? How come we never heard about it before?"

"I think he's just putting on a show. Alchemy isn't like Cultivation; it requires talent. Not everyone can perform Alchemy."

"Whether he knows Alchemy or not, we'll know if we go and take a look."

Before long, Disciples gathered around Yang Lingchen, filling the area to watch the excitement.

Yang Lingchen skillfully sorted the Medicinal Ingredients, activated the Pill Fire, and then placed the ingredients one by one into the Pill Furnace.

Watching Yang Lingchen's skilled technique, Sun Congxiang's eyes revealed shock. Although he couldn't perform Alchemy, he could understand Yang Lingchen's method.

About a quarter of an hour later, a batch of supreme grade True God Pills was finished.

"Hall Master Sun, please take a look." Yang Lingchen handed the refined supreme grade True God Pills to Sun Congxiang.

"supreme grade True God Pills! I can't believe you are actually a Top-grade Alchemist." Sun Congxiang's eyes showed disbelief.

"Hall Master Sun, can I take these Alchemy missions now?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Yes, of course, you can," Sun Congxiang replied.

"Thank you, Senior." Yang Lingchen cupped his fists toward Sun Congxiang, then addressed the surrounding watching Disciples: "Fellow Disciples, if you wish to have Pills refined, you can look for me. The price is fair, and I will be honest with everyone."

After speaking, Yang Lingchen took the Medicinal Ingredients for Alchemy and returned to his dormitory.
