Lin Chen and his companions quickly left the great hall, and the disciples waiting outside saw the hall collapsing, their expressions turning ugly.

"Run, the hall is collapsing!"

As the great hall collapsed, the disciples ran towards the valley in a mad scramble.

Lin Chen and his four companions also ran out with these people.

The group ran all the way back to the inn where they were staying and finally took a deep breath.

Back at the inn, Zhang Yu asked with a surprised expression, "Has anyone experienced any changes in their bodies?"

Xu Ye's face was also filled with a shocked expression, "My God! I've actually broken through the bottleneck and ascended to the True Yuan Realm."

Zhang Yu nodded, "Me too, I was stuck at this bottleneck for three years, but today I finally broke through."

Xie Wanling was equally shocked, "I've also advanced to the True Yuan Realm, oh my god, I had just advanced to the mid stage of the Innate Realm not long ago, and now to jump two levels is simply magical."

Wu Shitong even had a dumbfounded expression, "Can you believe this? I'm now a high-level Innate Realm expert! Remember, I was stuck in the Golden Core Realm for so long, yet I've jumped two levels."

At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on Lin Chen, knowing that this opportunity was brought to them by him.

"Lin Chen, what did you gain?" Zhang Yu curiously asked.

Lin Chen smiled faintly and teased, "Maybe I shouldn't tell you guys, to spare you the shock."

"You couldn't have already broken through to the True Yuan Realm, could you?" Xu Ye asked Lin Chen in shock.

Lin Chen shook his head, "Not yet, but now I'm at the peak of the True Yuan Realm."

"What?" Hearing Lin Chen's words, all four felt somewhat devastated.

For a martial artist, advancing further after reaching the True Yuan Realm is extremely difficult. It takes at least twenty to thirty years for a genius to progress from the early stage to the peak, yet Lin Chen had managed this breakthrough from the early stage to the peak in just a few hours. This meant Lin Chen could potentially break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm overnight, should he find enough opportunities.

If they knew that Lin Chen had also gained the Wood attribute, they would likely be insanely jealous.

However, Lin Chen didn't reveal this secret; after all, having dual attributes was already defying the natural order, and possessing three attributes would make him a monstrous existence if others found out.

After resting in the hotel for a day, they each went their separate ways.

Zhang Yu and Xu Ye had to return to their families to handle some affairs, while Xie Wanling and Wu Shitong needed to report back to their organization. Only Lin Chen stayed behind for the time being.

In the ancient ruins, he had just devoured a ghost spirit and advanced to the True Yuan Realm, and entering the forbidden gate had further increased his strength to the peak of the True Yuan Realm. Now Lin Chen's power was unstable, and he needed some time to consolidate his cultivation.

The Prison of Time was utterly silent, and Lin Chen can now enter the fourth level of the Prison of Time for cultivation.

Opening his eyes, a sharp light shot out, and Lin Chen took a deep breath. After a day and a night of reflection, he had finally firmly controlled his cultivation at the peak of the True Yuan Realm.

Lin Chen had even thought of trying to break through the True Yuan Realm, but after several attempts, he gave up.

Lin Chen also knew that his speed of cultivation was already against the natural order. There was no reason to feel depressed about not being able to break through immediately.

After leaving the Prison of Time, Lin Chen set his sights on the Tower of Time.

Although Lin Chen's previous entries into the Tower of Time hadn't yielded much, his significant increase in strength this time should make a difference in the Time Corridor.

Stepping into the Time Corridor, Lin Chen felt that his steps were not as difficult as before—he managed to move eighteen steps in one go. However, he knew this was his limit, and continuing to push through could easily lead to getting lost in the Time Corridor.

When Lin Chen emerged from the Tower of Time, a new piece of information suddenly appeared in his mind, the Time Law, which could stop time for one second.

A second is but the blink of an eye, yet for a confrontation between two high-level martial artists, a second could change the course of battle.

This trip to Kun City was filled with surprises for Lin Chen, whose strength had also elevated to a new level.

Just then, Lin Chen received a WeChat message from Mu Yunxue.

Recently, to help Wu Feng recover, Lin Chen had asked Mu Yunxue to search for Concentration Grass.

Mu Yunxue had just messaged Lin Chen that the Concentration Grass was found, conveniently located at a branch in Kun City.

Lin Chen was overjoyed, knowing that with the Concentration Grass, Wu Feng could be awakened once again.

Wu Feng had nearly lost his soul because of him, and no matter the cost, Lin Chen was determined to help Wu Feng recover swiftly.

Lin Chen left the hotel and headed directly to the Taoyuan Corporation.

Although Kun City, the capital of Yun Province, was not as bustling as Capital City or Shanghai, it was still very lively.

Lin Chen took a taxi directly to the Taoyuan Corporation.

Located in a landmark building at the center of Kun City, the Taoyuan Corporation building was grand and majestic. Inside, the decor was even more luxurious and splendid.

As Lin Chen entered the lobby, a woman in an OL uniform approached him, "Sir, how may I assist you?"

Because Lin Chen had headed straight for the VIP lounge upon entering the lobby.

Those allowed into the VIP lounge were either wealthy or noble, so the staff did not dare to neglect them.

Lin Chen took out a VIP card and asked, "Is Manager Zhu available?"

Seeing the VIP gold card in Lin Chen's hand, the employee's expression changed, showing even more respect.

"Manager Zhu? I apologize, he just went out for an important meeting, but he has instructed us that if you arrived, Manager Wu would take care of you. Please follow me to the VIP room to wait for a moment."

Lin Chen followed the employee to the VIP room, which was luxuriously decorated with all the furnishings made of valuable mahogany, filling the room with a fragrant aroma that was refreshing and pleasant.

Lin Chen had just sat down when a waitress served him a plate of fragrant tea leaves.

"Mr. Lin, this is Bai Xiang Tea produced by DY Peach Blossom Village, which has a delicious taste. Please give it a try," the waitress said with a smile.

Lin Chen looked at the tea leaves in his cup and chuckled inwardly; he had not expected the tea he had developed to appear in such a high-end setting and become a tea that only the nobility could enjoy, nor had he expected Xue Ying to name it so beautifully.

Lin Chen nodded, took a sip, and indeed, it tasted quite good.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside, and the door was pushed open by a middle-aged man in a Hermès suit.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, the middle-aged man's eyes brightened, and a cold smile flickered across his lips.

The middle-aged man put on an apologetic smile, "Hello, you must be Mr. Lin. My name is Wu Xiang. Manager Zhu was called away on some business, and he left me to handle this transaction."

Lin Chen nodded and said indifferently, "I understand. Where is the medicine I requested?"

Wu Xiang chuckled awkwardly, "Please wait a moment, the medicine is on its way and will arrive shortly."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Lin Chen, Wu Xiang stood up, "Mr. Lin, I need to take care of some things, please wait just a moment longer."

Lin Chen nodded without saying anything, watching Wu Xiang leave, his gaze slightly narrowed, sensing something was off with this man.
