Chapter 938: The Eternal Third Place
"What... what's going on?
Could it be that I stayed in there for too long, and my sudden appearance made them all a little confused?
If that's the case, then it is indeed my fault. It was just a competition, and I should have stopped at that point.
Tian Lin muttered to himself, still brimming with excitent.
As he returned to his seat, he noticed that many people were looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.
When he turned his gaze to the central high ground, he froze once again.
"This... how is this possible?"
The central high ground now displayed only one scene: Su Jingzhen and Little Ling.
They were the real focus of attention!
Seeing Su Jingzhen and Little Ling strolling leisurely through the fla space, occasionally collecting a special heavenly fla, Tian Lin thought he was hallucinating.
Subconsciously, he rubbed his eyes.
However, no matter how many tis he rubbed them, the scene before him remained unchanged.
It was all real!
"How... how could they!"
Tian Lin's words were almost incoherent.
He had just erged from the fla space and knew firsthand how terrifying the temperature had beco.
Without any special treasures, it was impossible to endure.
Even though he had secured third place again, a result that would make many envious, it was a profound humiliation for him.
"I'm... still third?"
Despite his reluctance, Tian Lin had to accept the reality.
However, as he muttered these words, a deep sense of resentnt filled his heart.
Having been selected by the Emperor Realm to participate in the Grand Alchemy Gathering, Tian Lin's cultivation and alchemy talents were undoubtedly exceptional.
In the Emperor Realm, he had already been the center of many accolades.
Naturally, he harbored an imnse sense of pride.
In the first two rounds of the Alchemy Grand eting, securing third place was sothing he had endured.
But in this third round, relying on so many powerful artifacts, he had still only managed to co in third place!
This was simply unacceptable.
He vaguely knew Little Ling's identity, so losing to her didn't bother him much.
But what about Su Jingzhen?
In Tian Lin's eyes, Little Ling was now following Su Jingzhen like a subordinate.
It was as if Su Jingzhen was the sole protagonist of this event, while he, Tian Lin, was nothing!
At this mont, Tian Lin's Dao heart was beginning to falter.
---
As far as the crowd was concerned, Tian Lin was just a glimpse.
No one paid much attention to him.
After all, third place wasn't enough to hold their interest for long.
All eyes remained fixed on the scene of Su Jingzhen and Little Ling.
Over ti, Su Jingzhen had collected over forty special Heavenly Flas.
The two of them had already explored a significant portion of the fla space.
"This is truly absurd.
This fla secret realm, which the Divine Dan Sect prides itself on, is like an ordinary treasure trove in front of Su Jingzhen and Little Ling.
In my opinion, even if the temperature in the fla space continues to rise, it won't have any effect on them.
After Su Jingzhen collected the first Deep Sea Netherfla, the so-called endurance test beca aningless for him."
"Indeed. Each special heavenly fla he collected has been residing in that fla space for endless ages.
They can create vacuum zones on their own, which must an that they have special permissions or protective abilities."
"Speaking of which, the Divine Dan Sect really seems like a big victim here.
Since the second round, they've been giving treasures to Su Jingzhen.
The most ironic part is that Su Jingzhen doesn't even seem to be interested in joining the Divine Dan Sect."
"..."
At this mont, the crowd who were rely spectators shifted their ridicule to the Divine Dan Sect itself.
In their eyes, all the heavenly flas in the fla space were bound to be lost.
Yet, the Divine Dan Sect still refused to intervene, which seed like a self-inflicted wound.
---
In the high sky, despite Li Lingxi's assurances, even Zhou Daoqi and the other elders of the Divine Dan Sect were beginning to feel uneasy.
"What exactly is the Sect Master thinking?
If we don't stop them, this secret fla realm will truly be gone.
Those over one hundred special heavenly flas are incredibly important to advanced alchemists.
Even if they can't be collected, cultivating in their presence can improve one's fla.
And if the secret realm loses those Heavenly Flas, the other ordinary flas will undoubtedly be affected.
That would impact the entire Divine Dan Sect.
This is also one of the most crucial foundations of our sect."
"..."
Elders like Song Kaishan muttered, seemingly casually, but actually putting pressure on Zhou Daoqi.
This affected their core interests. Several elders still didn't have their own Lifebound Fla, and they had tried to collect the Heavenly Fla in the secret realm without success.
Zhou Daoqi sighed helplessly.
He was under trendous pressure because the other elders were unaware of the events in the ancestral tomb.
"Is this kid a blessing or a curse for the Divine Dan Sect?"
Zhou Daoqi muttered to himself, pretending not to hear the elders' words.
After all, Li Lingxi had already firmly expressed her stance. Even if he inquired further, it wouldn't change anything.
---
Inside the carriage, Li Lingxi's expression remained grim.
"Is he really so greedy?"
She struggled to find the right words and finally mumbled weakly.
Shuang Jiang, on the other hand, smiled faintly.
"The Flesh and Blood Fire technique he obtained from your Divine Dan Sect must have evolved into sothing capable of absorbing these heavenly flas.
I'm curious how powerful his Flesh and Blood Fire will beco after absorbing the entire Fla Secret Realm.
Perhaps it will truly beco a supre fla created by man.
From the mont he obtained that Flesh and Blood Fire, everything was destined.
Your Divine Dan Sect was fated to grant him this trendous fortune.
This is a karmic connection. From his performance, you can see that his future is beyond asure.
This is an investnt, and the return may be far beyond your imagination. "
As she spoke, Shuang Jiang's expression was serious, offering Li Lingxi a rare bit of comfort.
Li Lingxi replied, "I'm not heartbroken over these flas, as they're of no use to .
As long as I eventually reach the pinnacle, the Divine Dan Sect will naturally beco stronger in another way.
What I'm worried about now is that Su Jingzhen and Little Ling's performance this ti is too outstanding.
Tian Lin from the Emperor Realm was completely defeated.
I wonder if they'll get angry and break the old agreent."
Upon hearing this, Shuang Jiang raised an eyebrow.
"If they don't abide by it, that would suit just fine."
---
With the Divine Dan Sect's higher-ups taking no action, Su Jingzhen and Little Ling continued to enjoy themselves in the Fla Secret Realm.
Ti passed, and a whole day passed.
By then, Su Jingzhen had absorbed and fused over ninety Heavenly Flas.
This accounted for more than ninety percent of the Heavenly Flas in the Fla Realm.
