A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

boom! boom! boom!
The next instant, overwhelming power bombarded Lin Yang's body.

Even with the protection of the Boundary Flower and the Heavenly Bell, he was still instantly hit by a huge impact and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

However, Lin Yang also took advantage of the huge impact to retreat out of the left side of the tomb chamber.

"A good opportunity." Lin Yang's eyes lit up. Before the system could activate the escape route, he was about to rush out of the tomb.

However, Tianluo Wang and the others followed closely behind and chased after them.

The exit was blocked by a large crowd of onlookers.

Even so, upon seeing him injured, those ordinary half-step cultivators who were originally just watching the spectacle suddenly attacked him, blocking his escape route and attempting to seize the Dao Jade.

Lin Yang's eyes darkened as he prepared to fight his way out.

Fortunately, the system was still helpful and said: "Host, you can open the escape route. This will deduct all your remaining National Treasure Points, and you will not be able to open the escape route for a considerable period of time. Please confirm."

"Confirmed." Lin Yang confirmed without much thought.

In this situation, he could certainly fight his way out, but he would definitely be seriously injured.

Anyway, you can earn more national treasures after you've used them up, so what's done is done.

It doesn't matter if the escape route can't be opened for a long time; consider it a cooling-off period. He'll just be more cautious in his actions afterward.

Buzz.

As Lin Yang confirmed that the escape route was open, his body was enveloped in a white light.

When the light faded, Lin Yang's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Everyone was astonished as they watched Lin Yang suddenly disappear.

"What kind of escape method is this?"

"That kid actually has such amazing escape skills? He was able to escape even under such chaotic conditions?"

"No wonder he dared to snatch the Dao Jade; he had a trump card up his sleeve."

Amidst their astonishment, the crowd couldn't help but start discussing it.

Tianluo Wang and the others stared at the spot where Lin Yang had disappeared, their eyes filled with rage.

After fighting for so long, it all benefited Lin Yang in the end!

This made it impossible for them to remain calm.

"Chase him! Even if that kid manages to escape, he can't get far with those kinds of methods. He must still be in the ancient battlefield!"

Even if they escaped the ancient battlefield...

Tianluo King's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at the King of Lanlou, seemingly intending to kidnap the King of Lanlou as a hostage to force Lin Yang to come out.

The King of Lanlou felt a chill run down his spine. Before King Tianlu could make a move, he instantly withdrew from the tomb and quickly left.

"Chase!"

King Tianlu was the first to chase after them.

……

the other side.

Lin Yang did not escape far.

The escape route opened by the system teleported him out of the ruins and into the ancient battlefield.

"We must return to Ancient War City immediately! Everyone knows that we have obtained the Dao Jade. Even if we return to a higher dimension, it will not be safe. Only within Ancient War City is the safest place!"

Lin Yang rushed back to the ancient war city almost without thinking.

Holding the Dao Jade, even returning to a higher-level time-space might lead to being hunted down.

However, fighting is absolutely forbidden within the ancient battle city.

No matter what grudges you have, you must not fight within the Ancient Battle City.

Lin Yang had already decided that he would not leave the Ancient Battle City until he had fully comprehended the Dao Jade.

Afterwards, Lin Yang concealed his presence and returned to the ancient war city.

Lin Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief once he entered the city.

"It's safe!"

Lin Yang quickly returned to his residence, feeling exhausted and wanting to sleep.

But in the end, he endured the mental exhaustion and sat cross-legged to heal his wounds.

After recovering somewhat from his injuries, he was able to fall asleep peacefully.

Although at his level, he basically no longer needs to sleep to replenish his energy.

But sleep is still one of the best ways to restore energy.

Lin Yang slept for seven or eight hours before finally waking up.
"While meditation can certainly restore energy, a good night's sleep is still the most comfortable."

Lin Yang sighed for a moment, then took out the Dao Jade again to examine it.

The Dao Jade was crystal clear, radiating a soft light and a rich Daoist aura. "Such a powerful Daoist aura!" Lin Yang exclaimed in surprise, and then prepared to try to comprehend it.

But the "boundary" within the soul began to move again, and a power emanated from the "boundary" and enveloped the Dao Jade.

then……

The power of the entire piece of Dao Jade began to be absorbed by the "boundary".

"I go……"

Lin Yang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Dao Jade is a super treasure that can help those above the half-step Dao break through to the ultimate Dao.

But now, it has been absorbed by the "realm" again!
He wanted to stop it, but unfortunately, he couldn't interrupt the power of the "realm" at all, and could only watch helplessly as the power of the Dao Jade was continuously absorbed by the "realm".

This is not the first time that the "boundary" has actively absorbed external forces.

But this time, Lin Yang felt a pang of heartache.

After all, if you study it carefully, you might not be absolutely certain of breaking through again, but you'll definitely be able to take another step forward.

However, Lin Yang soon stopped caring.

The reason I was able to obtain the Dao Jade was because of the "realm".

Let it be absorbed.

Before long, the "boundary" stopped absorbing, and the Dao Jade became much dimmer. Although there were still some residual power and Dao essence within it, there was very little left.

As for "Jie", it fell into complete silence.

"Did it fall into slumber after absorbing the power of the Dao Jade?" Lin Yang sensed something.

Looking at the dull and lifeless Dao Jade in his hand, Lin Yang didn't try to comprehend it anymore and put it in his spatial ring.

Immediately, he intended to contact the ruler of Lanlou Kingdom, but in an instant, he sensed faint energies lingering around his residence.

"Someone is constantly monitoring us." Lin Yang frowned slightly.

Taking the Dao Jade has brought quite a bit of trouble.

However, he quickly stopped caring about it.

His strength had been proven before, comparable to a king-level powerhouse.

As long as you're not surrounded and attacked by a dozen or so king-level beings like those in the tomb, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Lin Yang flipped his wrist and took out a communication jade slip to contact the ruler of Lanlou Kingdom.

He left; it's unknown whether the King of Lanlou left or not.

The King of Lanlou quickly replied: "Lin Yang? I've also returned to Ancient War City. I'm safe. You're not in seclusion?"

The ruler of Lanlou was very surprised.

Lin Yang obtained the Dao Jade, yet he didn't immediately go into seclusion to comprehend and absorb it?

Lin Yang was somewhat amused and exasperated upon hearing this, but he didn't offer much explanation, simply saying:
"As long as the king is safe, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the higher dimension anytime soon. I hope the king will take good care of me."

The King of Lanlou immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll go back right away. Chu Jin won't be able to cause any trouble."

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty," Lin Yang said.

"It's nothing. Now that you're safe, I'm relieved. You can focus on your seclusion in Ancient War City. I look forward to the day you emerge after absorbing the Dao Jade!"

The ruler of Lanlou Kingdom also harbored some expectations.

Lin Yang sighed inwardly, chatted with the King of Lanlou for a few more minutes, and then ended the message transmission.

Then, he walked towards the Asking Pavilion again.

Dao Yu was absorbed by the "realm".

If he wants to advance further, his only options are to go to the Dao Asking Pavilion for further trials or to the Ancient Battlefield Domain to fight against foreign races.

But the timing isn't right to kill foreign tribes.

If he goes to the ancient domain now, he will not only face the foreign races, but also the covetousness of other powerful beings.

He needs to be even stronger.

"I wonder how many levels I can clear this time..."

Lin Yang murmured to himself and stepped into the Dao Asking Pavilion.

Seeing that he did not go into seclusion to comprehend the Dao Jade, but went straight to the Dao Inquiry Pavilion, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

"He obtained the Dao Jade, but instead of focusing on secluded cultivation to comprehend it, he went to the Dao Inquiry Pavilion?"

"It's weird..."

People didn't understand why Lin Yang would leave the Dao Jade unused and go to the Dao Asking Pavilion; it was clearly a waste of time.

Even Tianluo Wang and his companions, who had chased after them, were equally puzzled.

"What is this kid trying to do?" (End of Chapter)
