Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 293 Return
Faced with the sudden surge of true energy in his body and the medicinal power that was less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of what he had refined, Gu Chenfu practiced his skills at a rapid pace.

That powerful, incredible force suddenly erupted.

boom!
Gu Chen's body suddenly began to shake violently, as if countless sharp needles were piercing his body.

The intense pain made him groan involuntarily. The force was moving through his body from inside to outside and from outside to inside, crisscrossing and shuttling continuously, as if it was going to break his body into a sieve.

The pain even made it feel like life was worse than death.

"Meditation."

Zhong Lin's voice came slowly, like warm water flowing on the dry land, calming Gu Chen's mind.

The pain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

When all the pain disappeared, Gu Chen's spirit was suddenly lifted, and he felt a strange energy rushing into his body from outside.

After the energy enters the body, it merges with the true qi and transforms to a higher level.

Gu Chen's skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, all organs, and all cells underwent subtle changes under the impact of this energy.

It was like soaking in a hot spring, making his body feel extremely comfortable.

This was a cleansing of energy that brought about earth-shaking changes in his body. Not only did his physical strength improve incredibly, but even his lifespan increased in an unknown way under this strange change.

Zhong Lin looked at what was happening to Gu Chen, a slight smile on his face.

"Innate Realm, accomplished."

He could feel that at this moment Gu Chen had a resonance with the heaven and earth, and the vital energy flowing between heaven and earth continued to flow into his body through those innate acupoints.

Being able to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth with the physical body is a manifestation of the innate realm.

Another hour passed, and Gu Chen slowly opened his eyes, feeling the power in his body that was stronger and more expansive than before, which made him have an urge to vent.

He subconsciously raised his palms and pushed forward.

boom!
The power of the innate true qi that had been suppressed in the body finally found an outlet. At this moment, it condensed into a ball and rushed out violently.

It was like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, carrying with it unrivaled power, shaking the entire cliff.

But then Gu Chen's face turned pale, because he found that his master was standing in the direction he clapped his palms.

"Master, please quickly...eh?"

Zhong Lin naturally did not move. The so-called "violent" power suddenly became gentle when it approached him, like a breeze blowing on his face, and then disappeared without a trace.

Gu Chen quickly got up from the ground and looked at Zhong Lin with a terrified face.

"Master, I..."

"Alright, Master, I'm fine. Congratulations on opening the bridge between heaven and earth and entering the Xiantian realm."

Zhong Lin said with a smile on his face.

Gu Chen looked down at his palms, feeling the powerful innate true energy flowing in his body, as well as the omnipresent energy of heaven and earth around him, as if he could mobilize the power of heaven and earth with just a thought.

No wonder the innate warriors are so powerful. A casual attack from them is not something that a first-grade warrior can withstand. How can a human being resist the power of heaven and earth when they mobilize it like this?

"Thank you so much for the help of the elixir, Master. Otherwise, my accumulated knowledge would not be enough to break through to the Xiantian realm."

"Don't underestimate yourself. You already have a lot of experience. Breaking through to the Xiantian realm is just a matter of time. This pill will only advance that time. Practice more after you return. This pill is of the sixth grade. It will only consume one tenth to one twenty percent of the medicinal power to help you break through to the Xiantian realm. Don't waste it."

Gu Chen's eyes widened when he heard this.

Six products?

Isn't the strongest alchemist on this continent only a fourth-grade one? How could there be a sixth-grade elixir? Gu Chen suddenly had an idea, remembering that I had promised Zhong Lin that if he could satisfy him, I would give him a great opportunity. Was that the sixth-grade elixir?
Zhong Lin saw all of Gu Chen's performance. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and suddenly turned around to point at the hundred-foot cliff surrounded by clouds in the distance.

"Gu Chen, do you know what's ahead?"

"cliff?"

Gu Chen replied cautiously.

"Outside?"

"Hengduan Mountains?"

"Further out."

"Chengguo?"

"Further outside?"

"Endless Sea."

"Further outside?"

Gu Chen scratched his head and said with a hint of doubt: "Disciple, I don't know, but according to ancient records, it is said that there is an even more vast world outside the Endless Sea. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"Then do you want to go and have a look?"

"Forehead?"

Zhong Lin turned around and patted Gu Chen on the shoulder meaningfully.

"I'll spend the next few days consolidating my cultivation."

"Yes."

After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Gu Chen confused and at a loss.

The next few days were extremely peaceful, but after Jing Lei suddenly passed the throne to Grand Elder Lu Ming, the entire sect was in an uproar, and no one understood why the sect leader suddenly made such a decision.

However, the excitement was soon suppressed. When Yu Jinglei told the three elders about the teleportation array and the Falling Star Islands, they were truly shocked.

Fortunately, only the three supreme elders were informed. If others knew about it, who knows what kind of commotion they would cause.

Zhong Lin didn't care how the sect leader Yu Jinglei handled it. He had been taking Gu Yourong on a ride, traveling around and having a great time these days.

As for Gu Chen, Zhong Lin gave him a book of profound-level skills called "The Lost Map of the Golden Chamber" and the "Taibai Jinyao Sword Technique" from the "Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Sutra".

Gu Chen was originally practicing the "Flying Spirit Sword Sutra", and this "Golden Chamber Relic Map" was also of gold attribute, so the loss between the two was extremely low.

After mastering the skills and techniques, Gu Chen was completely immersed in them, as if he was possessed by a demon. If Zhong Lin had not ordered him not to go into seclusion, he would have probably started it long ago.

There was no way. The so-called top-grade skills on the Black Turtle Continent were not even considered yellow-grade in the Falling Star Islands, while the "Golden Chamber Relics Map" was a black-grade skill. Its mysterious and wondrous level directly made Gu Chen immersed in it and unable to extricate himself.

What's more, there is the "Seven Stars Great Freedom Sword Sutra", a top-grade earth-level martial art. Although it is only one of the seven chapters of the "Taibai Golden Sword Art", its exquisiteness cannot be compared with all the martial arts of the Jianding Sect combined.

One month later.

Zhong Lin, Yu Jinglei, Gu Yourong, Gu Chen, and Elder Lianshan appeared in the cave where the teleportation array was located.

After some discussion, Zhong Lin decided to take Gu Chen, Elder Lianshan, and Gu Yourong to the Falling Star Islands.

He guessed that Gu Chen was the son of destiny. He also wanted to see the Falling Star Islands to see if Gu Chen could really take off like a dragon entering the sea or a tiger returning to the mountains as described in the novel.

As for Elder Lianshan, he is a more talented alchemist than Master Yin Daoyan. It would be a waste to keep him in the Black Turtle Continent. Only in a wider world can his talents be fully utilized.
