Elder Qing looked at Liu Qingxia and truthfully told her that Lin Chen had never ntioned her.
As a woman, Elder Qing understood what Liu Qingxia truly wanted to hear, but she did not dare hide the truth from her.
Upon hearing the answer, Liu Qingxia felt a tinge of despondency, her previously expectant expression turning cold in an instant.
Although the past incident was accidental, as a woman who had shared such a close relationship with Lin Chen, she felt uncared for and this made her angry.
The thought of Lin Chen’s heartlessness imdiately caused Liu Qingxia to emanate a strong, icy aura, which frightened the baby girl beside her into crying.
Regaining her composure, Liu Qingxia hurriedly retracted her aura and gently soothed the baby girl.
Seeing Liu Qingxia like this, Elder Qing sighed inwardly; no matter how strong she was as a Sect Master, when it ca to caring for a child, she was no different from any other mother.
...
Upon receiving the summons from Formation Sect, Lin Chen did not return imdiately but asked Qin Kaifeng, Xia Wanxin, and the others to go ahead of him, as he still had matters to attend to.
Lin Chen planned to ensure he had a chance of winning before returning to Formation Sect to participate in the competition hosted by Divine Fla Alliance and Red Soul Hall, so he decided once again to visit the Descension Cave Mansion.
Now that Lin Chen’s cultivation had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, perhaps he could et the conditions set by the Spirit of the Cave Mansion within the Descension Cave Mansion.
After parting from Qin Kaifeng and others, Lin Chen returned to Cloud Sky City, obtained the Descension Command Token from his Second Soul Division, and then headed towards the mountain range where the Descension Cave Mansion was located.
Over the past two years, the Descension Jade Slip flickered occasionally, as if urging Lin Chen.
Three years ago, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division learned the Seven Killings Sword Array in the Descension Cave Mansion and had benefited greatly ever since; thus, he was determined to secure the subsequent inheritance.
Lin Chen feared that Li Chu might have already entered the Descension Ruins and acquired the inheritance ahead of ti.
At this mont, Lin Chen arrived at the entrance of the Descension Ruins, took out the Descension Order, infused it with Spiritual Power, opened the teleportation vortex, and entered the Mansion.
"Lin Chen, you’ve finally arrived. What took you so long?"
"If you’d been any later, you might have never been able to enter here again."
As soon as Lin Chen entered the Descension Cave Mansion, the Spirit of the Cave Mansion appeared before him, looking sowhat pleased to see Lin Chen.
"What’s happened?"
Lin Chen asked, frowning slightly as he looked at the Spirit of the Cave Mansion.
Even though he had not entered the ruins under its urging over the last year or two, it should not an that he no longer had a chance.
The Spirit of the Cave Mansion quickly inford Lin Chen of the situation within.
Just as Lin Chen surmised, Li Chu had reached the Descension Cave Mansion a year ago to begin the inheritance assessnt, now heading towards the second level of the Descending Heaven Hall.
If Li Chu passed the assessnt, becoming the new master of the Descending Heaven Hall, even the Spirit of the Cave Mansion would have to serve him, and then Lin Chen would never be able to enter here again using the Descension Order.
To the Spirit of the Cave Mansion, Xiaotian, she much preferred Lin Chen to beco the new master of this place, as she did not want to serve that annoying fellow in the future.
After hearing the explanation from the Spirit of the Cave Mansion, Xiaotian, Lin Chen’s brow furrowed slightly. He hadn’t expected Li Chu to have entered this place a year ago; no wonder there had been no information about him from the Dark Division in the past year.
Considering Li Chu’s current strength, it must have reached an extraordinary realm, to have eluded the Dark Division’s tracking entirely.
"Then take to the assessnt quickly, I must break through the test in the shortest possible ti, otherwise, if he has a year’s head start, he’s probably already on the edge of completing the assessnt."
Lin Chen looked at the Spirit of the Cave Mansion and spoke urgently.
Lin Chen also felt a bit of panic in his heart, worried that if Li Chu attained the inheritance of the Descension Cave Mansion, under Red Soul Hall’s cultivation, it was unknown to what heights he might rise.
"Alright, follow quickly."
The Spirit of the Cave Mansion, Xiaotian, nodded vigorously at Lin Chen, then grabbed his hand and in an instant took him to the interior of the Descending Heaven Great Hall.
Although she was sowhat doubtful of Lin Chen’s chances, considering Li Chu had been taking the assessnt for over a year already, potentially at the final stage of the assessnt by now, while Lin Chen was just setting out—could he really catch up to Li Chu?
Regardless, Xiaotian had no choice but to cling to hope and give it a try, for she much preferred Lin Chen to be her new master.
Once inside the Descending Heaven Great Hall, Xiaotian waved her hand again, and the space within the hall began to warp.
In the next instant, Lin Chen found himself in an unknown space.
This place was pitch-dark, vast and boundless, with no end in sight.
In the darkness, there was a massive passageway, within which countless Heavenly Ladders stretched forth, leading towards the depths of the corridor at the far end.
Only that passageway had a glow of white light shining down in this expanse of darkness.
