Finding a relatively secluded mountain range, Lin Xuan used Sword Qi to carve out a cave mansion.

Afterwards, the Dark Red Divine Dragon set up several arrays, directly concealing the entire cave mansion.

The next moment, Lin Xuan took out the fist-sized Dragon Crystal.

He placed the Dragon Crystal on the ground, and then the Dark Red Divine Dragon began setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, transferring the power of the Dragon Crystal to the two of them through the array.

In this way, they could accelerate their absorption.

Soon, the Dragon Crystal emitted brilliant light, forming rays of glow, surrounding Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon.

If someone saw this scene, they would definitely go wild.

This truly was a rare treasure! No one would stay calm!

Even a Great Power would be no exception.

But now, this thing belonged to Lin Xuan.

Feeling the rich energy around him, Lin Xuan did not hesitate and quickly operated the Longevity Technique to absorb the energy within.

As if attracted by something, the myriad rays of light quickly rushed into Lin Xuan’s body.

In an instant, both Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon entered a cultivation state.

In the blink of an eye, a night had passed.

The fist-sized Dragon Crystal was now reduced by half.

Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon were completely enveloped in splendid rays of light.

Like two jade cocoons, they emitted a hazy glow.

Three more days went by.

Within the cave mansion, rays of glow surrounded them, and the Dragon Crystal had become the size of a walnut.

Next to it, the Dark Red Divine Dragon opened its eyes, and its aura exploded fiercely, he had successfully recovered to the Four-star King.

So he stopped absorbing and instead shook his body, retreating out.

But on the other side, Lin Xuan was still consistently cultivating.

The glow on him grew increasingly intense, and his aura became stronger and more formidable.

However, he still remained at the Three-star King, without breaking through.

Two more days passed, and the Dragon Crystal shrunk directly to the size of a fingernail, with its glow becoming extremely dim, most of the energy inside having been absorbed by Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan also opened his eyes.

His gaze was incredibly sharp, and his aura had become much stronger than before.

Moreover, his combat power had significantly risen.

However, his cultivation still remained at the Three-star King.

Lin Xuan looked at the dim Dragon Crystal and sighed.

He knew he needed a powerful amount of energy to break through.

But he never expected it would require such an enormous amount.

A precious beyond measure Dragon Crystal couldn’t make him breakthrough.

Needless to say, the Great Dragon Sword Soul was truly terrifying.

This would have already been a breakthrough for other kings. But Lin Xuan stubbornly didn’t break through.

However, his combat power had greatly improved.

Now, if he encountered a Holy Land Genius Martial Artist like Guo Chuanfei again, he could kill him even without a sneak attack.

Also, ordinary Holy Land Martial Artists were no match for him; perhaps only those top Holy Land Genius Martial Artists qualified to fight him.

Next to him, the Dark Red Divine Dragon said: "Kid, don’t lose heart, the Great Dragon Sword Soul is incredibly terrifying."

"If you break through to the Four-star King, your combat power will be astonishingly formidable."

"The problem is, the required energy is really too much."

Lin Xuan knew this, so he decided to set off again.

Because he believed there must be other Dragon Crystals in this forest.

As long as he found another one, he would definitely make a breakthrough.

Next, Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon continued searching this Primitive Forest.

But it must be said, this forest was truly too vast, boundless, like a sea of green.

Moreover, the Demon Kings inside were truly terrifying; in the past few days, they encountered several, all matching the strength of the Six-Armed Divine Ape.

It’s fair to say terrifying!

Even now, Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon had to detour.

Because ahead lay a terrifying Demon King lair.

Even just the edge’s Demon Energy made Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon’s scalps tingle.

Such a place, even Great Powers coming here might not dare to enter easily.

Lin Xuan and the Dark Red Divine Dragon didn’t want to court trouble, so they walked around.

By afternoon, Lin Xuan spotted a waterfall ahead.

And near the waterfall, there was unexpectedly a bamboo house.

The bamboo house was very exquisite, even the bamboo shimmering with a faint glow.

Apparently, the bamboo used for constructing the house was no ordinary kind.

Near the bamboo house was a patch of grass, teeming with numerous flowers, surrounded by a bamboo grove.

It displayed a scene of peace.

Seeing that bamboo house, Lin Xuan slowed down, his expression very serious.

Because the bamboo house indicated the presence of humans.

Though it was unknown whether they were Primitive residents or sect martial artists from outside.

Soon after, a figure emerged from the bamboo house.

It was a young man, tall in stature, handsome in appearance.

But between his brows was a coldness that sent shivers down anyone’s spine with just a look.

The young man wore a five-colored robe, shimmering with radiant light.

"People from the Five Elements Sect!"

Upon seeing this, Lin Xuan frowned.

He didn’t expect to encounter people from the Five Elements Sect here.

But the next moment, he was even more shocked.

Because another figure emerged from the bamboo house.

This figure was very familiar to him, precisely the half-demon woman from the Demon Emperor Hall he had battled before, Zhao Tianxie.

He just didn’t expect Zhao Tianxie would ally with people from the Five Elements Sect.

Zhao Tianxie exchanged a few words with the handsome young man, then re-entered the bamboo house.

The young man remained standing ahead, seeming to be waiting for something.

Curious, Lin Xuan wondered what they were up to.

So he and the Dark Red Divine Dragon concealed their auras, quietly crouching nearby.

He wanted to see what Zhao Tianxie was planning?

Before long, the sound of tearing air came from ahead, and then two figures quickly approached from afar.

Soon, they arrived near the bamboo house.

They were two young disciples, their forms quickly manifesting as they greeted the handsome young man.

The handsome young man then asked sternly: "How is it, is the investigation clear?"

"The Sea of Death is extremely terrifying, probably less than one-tenth of the people can reach this continent."

Anyway, those who can reach this continent weren’t weaklings.

The two disciples said quickly.

After hearing them, the handsome young man nodded slightly: "Those ordinary Independent Practitioners probably won’t make it."

"But those epic families, Absolute Sacred Lands, and Ancient Families, aren’t to be trifled with."

"Their people won’t perish in the Sea of Death, they will definitely arrive."

"Yet, they haven’t appeared now. No idea what they’re doing?"

The handsome young man frowned.

Then, he turned back towards the bamboo house, an insightful gleam in his eyes.

"That unparalleled visage is rare in the world!"

"If I can have her under my flag, it would surely be a joyous occasion."

The handsome young man murmured.

The two young disciples behind him laughed after hearing this: "Senior brother, with your skills, if you want it, wouldn’t it be easy?"
