392: Retreat, Transformation

After his divine sense entered the ring, he found the number was correct. The man and the Big Yellow Dog looked at each other, both seeing the excitement in each other's eyes.

A massive profit!

Indeed, taking an unconventional path, going against the grain, and betting on an underdog was the way to make a fortune. However, the risk was too great; if not for Lin Yan's suggestion, the two of them would not have dared to be so stubborn. (Plot requirement, do not imitate)

When they returned to the group, Xuan Hao had already reverted to his original appearance, clad in crimson-gold battle armor, looking majestic, and was currently conversing with Lin Yan.

The Big Yellow Dog and Chen Tiankuang, on the other hand, approached Yao Wuhen, returning the spatial rings in their hands to him, and said, "Good brother, thanks to you, otherwise we would have missed this great opportunity."

"As agreed before, we'll give you a share, and we won't be polite about the rest!"

"Then Yao thanks the two of you."

Yao Wuhen smiled, not paying too much attention to it. Instead, it was Yao Jinxuan, who was beside him, who nodded in satisfaction after seeing the additional immortal artifacts and magic tools inside the spatial ring.

"Seeing as you kept your promise, this Saintess won't bother to argue with you."

The Big Yellow Dog grinned. He had never taken these trivial matters to heart. He walked over to Lin Yan's side, just in time to hear Xuan Hao say,

"Senior, I heard that the Thunder Holy Hall acts domineeringly. This time, because I offended them, they probably won't let it go easily."

The giant bear snorted upon hearing this, saying, "Then let them come at me with everything they've got. See if I, this old bear, don't tear them apart."

These words contained boundless confidence, which made Xuan Hao nod in agreement.

"Since that's the case, Brother Wuhen, let's leave!"

Lin Yan greeted Yao Wuhen and the others, then lifted his feet and walked out of the Lingyun Battle Arena. Seeing this, the others quickly followed.

In the void, the teetering Lei Jinsong, Elder Lei stared intently at the group's retreating figures, a hidden killing intent flashing in his eyes.

But the next moment, he exploded into a cloud of blood mist in front of everyone's eyes, dead beyond dead.

Only a low, powerful voice echoed through the arena.

"If the Thunder Holy Hall has the guts, they can come challenge me anytime!"

Upon hearing this, the arena fell silent. Lei Ya and the Early-stage Immortal Emperor expert from Cangyun Palace trembled slightly, their eyes filled with horror as they watched the slowly dissipating blood mist. A Mid-stage Immortal Emperor super expert had just fallen like that... As soon as Lin Yan and his group left the Lingyun Battle Arena, Yao Wuhen proactively spoke to the former:

"Brother Lin, we need to return to the Heavenly Demon Palace, so we won't accompany you. We'll take our leave first, and perhaps we'll meet again!"

"Alright!"

Lin Yan nodded, watching them leave, and couldn't help but ponder his next steps. After some thought, he decided that it was more important for the Chang Sheng Sect disciples to improve their strength.

When Xuan Hao arrived at the Chang Sheng Sect, he couldn't help but curiously examine the sect, as this would be his permanent residence from now on.

The first thing he felt were three extremely powerful auras, no less inferior to the burly man and the middle-aged man in green beside him. They were clearly existences of the same level.

This shocked him. This sect was indeed formidable, capable of easily instantly killing a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor expert. It must at least be a terrifying existence at the Late-stage or even higher.

No wonder they were fearless even when facing the Thunder Holy Hall, which was ranked among the top in Cangyuan Continent. So that was it.

In Xuan Hao's opinion, these five Demon Emperors alone could contend with the highest echelons of the Thunder Holy Hall, not to mention Lin Yan, an unfathomable existence.

To be able to make a Late-stage Immortal Emperor submit, his cultivation was self-evident; he must be above them.

"Next, you all should cultivate in seclusion. If you encounter a bottleneck, exit the Time Tower immediately, and Nian Xi will help you break through!"

Returning to the courtyard, Lin Yan said to everyone.

However, when it came to Xian Nianxi, everyone, including Lin Yan, was extremely curious and shocked.

Xian Nianxi's ability to help those at the Three Immortals Realm and even Immortal Monarchs break through bottlenecks was unheard of, both ancient and modern.

Now, it seemed to have the same miraculous effect on Immortal King powerhouses and even Immortal Emperors, which was truly terrifying.

But they didn't think too much about it. They took Xuan Hao into the Time Tower together and began their seclusion.

Lin Yan looked at Xian Nianxi, his eyes thoughtful. He had a guess: Xian Nianxi's origins were probably boundless, and she must have encountered something to become the way she was now.

However, one day the truth would surface. The last time she obtained that rotten Soul Origin Spirit Fruit, Xian Nianxi's eyes seemed to have a subtle difference, becoming brighter, and the Dao charm emanating from her body grew increasingly dense.

When she saw Lin Yan looking at her, she blinked innocently, then revealed a sweet smile.

Lin Yan couldn't help but smile, reaching out to ruffle her small head.

In his opinion, no matter Xian Nianxi's origins, she was now a part of the Chang Sheng Sect. Even in the worst-case scenario,

If she was injured by an unknown enemy and fell into this state, he would be able to protect her once he reached the pinnacle of this world... In the blink of an eye, fifty years passed quietly, but to the Immortal Realm, it was insignificant, like yesterday.

However, for the people of the Chang Sheng Sect, it could be said to bring earth-shattering changes.

After nearly fifty thousand years of cultivation in the Time Tower, coupled with Xian Nianxi's terrifying ability, the Big Yellow Dog and others had advanced from Early-stage Immortal King to Peak Immortal King, just one step away from becoming a Quasi Immortal Emperor.

And as for Luo Qinglian, who had always been ahead of everyone, he broke through to Early-stage Immortal Emperor in one go. The gap became increasingly apparent, but everyone was already used to it and found it unsurprising.

Only Xuan Hao still felt as if he was in a dream, unable to believe everything that had happened since joining the Chang Sheng Sect.

His current cultivation was Mid-stage Immortal Emperor. Although he had only crossed one minor realm, the path of cultivation became more difficult the further one progressed.

To go from newly entering the Immortal Emperor realm to consolidating Mid-stage Immortal Emperor was, in Xuan Hao's opinion, an incredibly heaven-defying feat.

As for Black Crow and Shi Zhenxiang, Lin Yan did not treat them unfairly. Since discovering that the Immortal Elixir could merge with the Immortal Power in his body last time, he had conducted many experiments and obtained an astonishing result.

That was, the Immortal Power in his body could continuously nourish the remaining elixir, causing its volume to rapidly increase.

What did this mean? It meant that the Immortal Elixir could be continuously produced in Lin Yan's hands.

Although it had lost its miraculous effect on those who had already been baptized, like the Big Yellow Dog, there would still be new powerful individuals joining in the future, and it could be used on them.

Before Xuan Hao entered the Time Tower, he also baptized him once, allowing him to stimulate more potential.

Therefore, the Immortal Elixir became Lin Yan's exclusive supreme treasure. Even the Black Crow Daoist and Shi Zhenxiang, as gatekeepers, received its blessings.

However, although the Immortal Elixir was powerful, ultimately it still depended on one's own talent and potential.

The Black Crow Daoist's speed was clearly much slower than the others. In the same amount of time, he had barely cultivated to Late-stage Immortal King. Perhaps reaching Immortal Emperor would be his limit.

And Shi Zhenxiang had only just barely stepped into the Immortal King realm; he might not even be able to touch the Immortal Emperor realm.

But both of them were extremely satisfied and had no feelings of resentment or the like.

As for Chen Tiankuang's two followers, since they were not truly members of the Chang Sheng Sect, they could not receive the same treatment.

However, the Huangji Ziyu Ginseng also gave each of them a drop of divine liquid, helping them reach the level of Early-stage Immortal Emperor.

The two of them usually did not stay in the courtyard but were responsible for cultivating the flowers, plants, and trees in the sect.

But the two of them also had no objections, on the contrary, they eagerly sought it. For them, being able to stay in the Chang Sheng Sect was the greatest opportunity.

Currently, besides Lin Yan, the most powerful were the Five Great Sacred Beasts.

During these fifty years, with the help of Xian Nianxi and the Time Tower, they successfully stepped into the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor realm, the Peak stage!
