"Spatial Domain..."

Lin Chen murmured softly, closing his eyes slightly, feeling the continuous mystical fluctuations around him.

A bird flew across the sky, and in the next instant, it was a hundred zhang away. Lin Chen watched the suddenly teleporting bird, lost in thought.

The Space Law further advances to the Spatial Domain, whose mystery lies not only in the control of space but also in affecting the spatial perception and actions of all creatures and even objects within the domain. As long as Lin Chen wills it, he can turn the world upside down, or even create a space of his own.

The Spatial Domain is far more convenient than ordinary storage artifacts and can traverse between two realms at any time.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen’s current mastery of the Space Law is only at Great Success, merely touching the surface of the Spatial Domain.

If he could advance further, he could freely bring resources from the Cultivation Realm back to Great Xia without any limitation in quantity.

To truly allow creatures to freely travel between two realms, he needs to integrate the Profound Celestial Small World into his Spatial Domain. At that point, the Profound Celestial Small World would be Lin Chen’s Spatial Domain, and within this domain, he would master both the Time and Space Laws, creating an absolute dominance over cultivators of the same level.

"The difficulty of cultivating the Space Law is a bit tougher than the Time Law, second only to the Time and Reincarnation Laws..." Lin Chen pondered in his heart.

In these fourteen years, he devoted most of his energy to the cultivation of the Space Law, naturally causing some delay in the advancement of his cultivation. Even so, with the help of the Spirit Realm Jade Dew and Sixth Tier Devouring Spirit Root, he still broke through to the mid-Integration stage two years ago.

As for Martial Arts Cultivation... Lin Chen remains at the Fifth Realm of Martial Saint and the Sixth Realm Blood Refining Realm, having achieved Great Success five years ago. Now his Qi and Blood Value has surpassed six hundred million.

As for the Sixth Realm of Martial Saint, the Qi Refining Realm, Lin Chen is not far from Perfection.

Once the Qi and Blood Value surpasses one billion, he will truly step into the Martial God Realm. After all, even Yue Saint, the foremost figure in the current Human Race’s Martial Path, has a Qi and Blood Value only infinitely close to one billion, with still some slight gap.

But Lin Chen has undergone several Thunder Tribulations, saving hundreds of years of cultivation time compared to ordinary Martial Saints, and his foundation is more solid.

He is confident of entering the Martial God Realm before breaking through to the Mahayana Stage.

As for the path beyond the Martial God, he can only explore it on his own. After all, throughout history, only Long has reached the Martial God Realm, and he left little information about it before completely disappearing.

"There’s less than a year left before the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins close." Lin Chen murmured, "Some days ago, Junior Sister Jiang urged me again to fetch the Jiang Country’s Legacy Vault; it seems she’s prepared for it."

With this in mind, Lin Chen’s thought moved, and his figure vanished from where he stood.

A moment later, outside the Blessed Land Cave Mansion of Jiang Country.

Lin Chen knocked on the door of Jiang Liqian’s cave mansion: "Is Junior Sister Jiang resting?"

From within the cave mansion came Jiang Liqian’s voice: "What brings Senior Brother Lin here?"

Lin Chen conveyed his thoughts to Jiang Liqian, believing the time had come to retrieve the treasure.

Jiang Liqian pondered for a bit and nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, the two arrived at the deepest part of Jiangdu, the Jiang Country Imperial City.

According to Jiang Liqian’s memory, the Jiang Country’s Legacy Vault is hidden within the Jiang Country Celestial Ruins, specifically located in the Jiang Country Palace.

For any dynasty, the palace is a forbidden area, where only certain royal family members and palace consorts or serving girls may enter.

The Jiang Country Palace is further protected by layers, guarded by Unity and even Mahayana Stage elders, along with a special barrier that only those with Jiang Country Royal bloodline can enter.

It so happens that Jiang Liqian is of pure royal bloodline.

Back when the last sovereign of Jiang Country foresaw the impending demise, he laid down a contingency plan, thoroughly preparing for the successors to retrieve the Jiang Country’s Legacy Vault.

...

Jiang Country Imperial City, a hidden corner of the city wall.

Under the cover of night, Jiang Liqian and Lin Chen approached the contingency set up beside the restriction.

"Senior Brother Lin, follow closely behind me later and do not move on your own. The Jiang Country Imperial City is heavily guarded; if discovered, we could be in grave danger." Jiang Liqian cautioned sternly.

Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

Although he is already at mid-Integration stage cultivation, it is still insufficient in this Jiang Country Celestial Ruins.

There are dozens of Mahayana cultivators in this era, and the Jiang Country Royal Family is not short of them, even possessing a tribulation-crossing Jiang Country Sovereign. If they could conceal their identities and safely take the Jiang Country’s Legacy Vault, it would be ideal.

Jiang Liqian carefully searched around the city wall for a moment. Her eyes lit up as she pulled a black jade pendant from her bosom.

She embedded the jade pendant into a recess on the city wall, fitting perfectly.

Soon after, a half-person-high, half-meter-wide hole appeared on the wall.

Jiang Liqian bent over and slipped inside, and Lin Chen, after a moment’s hesitation, followed suit.

Evidently, this was a deliberately left behind restriction flaw, facilitating the descendants to take the Jiang Country’s Legacy Vault.

The two passed through the hole and were quickly transported to the palace’s inner palace.

Surrounded by towering palace walls, they could faintly hear the distant chatter of the guards. The Jiang Country Palace was unusually quiet.

"Senior Brother Lin, do you need me to assist in concealing your presence with techniques?" Jiang Liqian asked softly.

Lin Chen shook his head and pinched a technique with his fingers, causing his figure to vanish. The Invisibility Technique is nothing but a minor technique for Unity Stage cultivators, needing a concealment technique to evade cultivators below the Unity Stage.

Not far away, a team of imperial guards walked past them, oblivious to their presence.

Lin Chen glanced around briefly, his heart filled with amazement: the mere imperial guards are actually Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, with their leader being the Returning Void Stage. Jiang Country indeed deserves its reputation as the most powerful force of this era.
