Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Return"You finally came out?" The four Shuras rushed to Ling Chen’s side immediately, sizing him up from head to toe with great attention. Two months! Ling Chen had spent nearly two months in the Star Platform! They were really afraid something might have gone wrong with Ling Chen! Seeing Ling Chen unharmed, all four breathed a sigh of relief. "Having cultivated there for so long, you should have advanced to the Primordial Pill Realm by now..." The Star Shura had barely spoken when his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and he said, "How is this possible? Why are you still at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?" The longest previous record for cultivation in the Star Platform was twenty days. Yet, that Dark Night Son had improved his cultivation by a whole two levels. Ling Chen had stayed in the Star Platform for over fifty days, and his cultivation hadn’t advanced at all; was this not too strange? Dark and Night, the other two Shuras, also wore faces of disbelief. On the other hand, Ling Xiuluo looked at Ling Chen with satisfaction, saying, "He focuses on cultivating his Divine Soul, so what if his Spiritual Power Cultivation has not progressed?" "Ling Xiuluo, you’ve never been inside, so you might not be aware of the situation in the Star Platform." Star Shura explained, "The gravity in the Star Platform is somewhat greater than in our Dark Realm, and it helps condense Spiritual Power. After practicing there for some time, one would generally break through some cultivation levels. Even at the Primordial Pill Realm, breakthroughs are possible." "It’s true, breaking through from the Spirit Sea Realm to the Primordial Pill Realm is indeed more difficult. But after all, he has cultivated there for so long, it’s really abnormal for him not to break through!" Ling Xiuluo said, "I don’t care. As long as Ling Chen is fine. You three remember, next time there is such a dangerous situation, you must get my consent. We Divine Thought Masters are far more valuable than you Spiritual Power Practitioners!" Then, she looked at Ling Chen with a beaming smile, "Don’t worry about these things, we are Divine Thought Masters!" "Mhm." Ling Chen nodded with a smile. Although his Spiritual Power Cultivation level hadn’t increased, his strength had multiplied several times compared to before. Seeing this, Star, Dark, and Night, the three Shuras did not dwell on the issue any longer. After all, Ling Chen’s combat power mainly relied on Divine Soul Telekinesis. As for Spiritual Power, it was now a minor detail. "Ling Chen, now that you are also a Dark Night Son, the Dark Night Association will assign someone to protect you, a Protector from our Dark Night ranks." Star Shura said with a smile. "Great!" Ling Chen nodded slightly, his eyes showing a touch of excitement. He had joined the Dark Night mainly to have a top-notch strong person protect him, in order to prevent the Ghost Guards from making a move against him. With a protector who was at the ninth level of the Primordial Pill Realm, he would be safe unless Xia Jiuyou himself took action. "Liu Huda, come in!" Star Shura called out to someone outside the hall with a smile. As the voice fell, a middle-aged man in a black robe entered from outside the hall. "I pay my respects to the esteemed Shura!" The middle-aged man in a black robe bowed slightly in respect. "Liu Huda, there’s no need for formalities. From today, you will guard Ling Chen, and I hope you will remember the responsibilities of a Protector." Star Shura said. "Rest assured, Shura, Liu will not fail in his duties!" The man in the black robe replied solemnly. "Good!" Star Shura nodded his head, turned to Ling Chen and said, "From now on, he will be the one protecting you." Ling Chen nodded and saluted the black-robed man, "Thank you in advance for your protection, Liu Huda!" "It’s my duty!" The black-robed man quickly returned the gesture. In the Dark Night, a Dark Night Son’s status is actually above that of a Protector. "Well then, now that this matter is settled, Ling Chen, shall you come with me back to the Spirit Hall?" Ling Xiuluo walked over, her eyes smiling. As a Divine Thought Master who had become a Dark Night Son, Ling Chen was to join the Spirit Hall directly. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Okay!" Ling Chen nodded. After saying their goodbyes to Star, Dark, and Night, the three Shuras, they proceeded towards the Spirit Hall. Ling Xiuluo personally arranged a residence for Ling Chen, smiling as she said, "Alright, you’ve been cultivating for so long, take a good rest first." After speaking, she took her leave. In the room, only Ling Chen and Liu Huda remained. "Liu Huda, my name is Ling Chen, and I am a high-grade Divine Thought Master. I am currently a core disciple at the True Martial Academy." Ling Chen introduced himself. The two would inevitably spend a lot of time together in the future, so it was necessary to become acquainted. "Young Master Chen, my name is Liu Qingcang, a cultivator in the late ninth layer of the Primordial Pill Realm, and my weapon is the bow and arrow." Liu Huda said with a smile. Ling Chen nodded and replied, "Alright, then may I address you as Uncle Cang in the future?" "Of course, Young Master Chen!" Liu Qingcang replied. Ling Chen slept very soundly that night. In the Dark Realm, knowing that a great expert like Liu Qingcang of the Primordial Pill Realm was protecting him, he felt very secure. Additionally, he had been cultivating continuously for a long time and hadn’t rested properly, so he was truly tired. The next day, early in the morning. Ling Chen went to the Spirit Hall to bid farewell to Ling Xiuluo. Ling Xiuluo was very surprised to hear about Ling Chen’s departure. "Lord Shura, I am still a core disciple of the True Martial Academy, and I cannot remain absent for too long, please understand." Ling Chen explained with a smile. "Very well!" Ling Xiuluo had no choice but to agree. Although she wanted to teach Ling Chen about cultivation, she thought that since Ling Chen had already cultivated to the middle phase of the Transformation Realm by himself, even as a high-grade, high-order Divine Thought Master, the guidance she could provide might be limited. Thus, she imparted her own cultivation insights to Ling Chen. "Thank you, Lord Shura." Ling Chen expressed his gratitude with a bow. Afterward, Ling Chen left Dark Night City together with Liu Qingcang. "Young Master Chen, you can directly activate the teleportation jade pendant to leave, and just outside Zhenwu Prefecture City, there is a teleportation point." Liu Qingcang said. Suddenly struck by a thought, Ling Chen asked, "Uncle Cang, where is the nearest teleportation point to Guangling City?" If teleportation were possible, he could consider returning to Guangling City for a visit. "Guangling City?" Liu Qingcang was initially startled and then laughed, "Coincidentally, there’s a teleportation point in the Endless Forest outside Guangling City, let’s go directly there!" "Great!" Ling Chen nodded. Ling Chen activated the teleportation jade pendant, and soon, they appeared in the Endless Forest outside Guangling City. Teleporting from the Dark Realm to the external world was not restricted by one’s cultivation level. In no time, Ling Chen and his companion appeared in Guangling City. With his current speed, it did not take much time at all. He originally intended to go straight to the Ling Family. However, on his way back, he passed by the Su Family. He stealthily made his way in. After locating the Su Family Patriarch, Su Mo, Ling Chen used Divine Thought Power and killed Su Mo. During the True Martial Trial, Su Mo had once tried to kill him. Now that he had returned, stronger than ever, how could he let this person off? Afterward, Ling Chen returned to the Ling Family. He did not make a grand announcement but met with the Family Head and a few senior family members, gave them some pointers in cultivation, left behind some Spirit Stones and Elixirs, and then left gracefully. Of course, the highest-grade Spirit Stones he left were of a superior quality. The Primordial Spirit Stones, which he needed for his cultivation, he naturally did not leave behind. Even so, this was completely sufficient for the family’s strongest members, who were at most at the seventh layer of the Primordial Pill Realm. Three days passed, and Ling Chen and Liu Qingcang returned to the True Martial Academy in Zhenwu Prefecture City. For someone with Liu Qingcang’s cultivation level, sneaking into the True Martial Academy without anyone noticing was not very difficult. Upon hearing of Ling Chen’s return, Palace Master Mo Han and Deputy Palace Master Wu Hao immediately rushed over.
