If we follow the treatnt of outer sect disciples by the Sky Sword Pavilion, the pitifully small amount of divine crystals they receive monthly wouldn't be enough for him to cultivate to the Divine Realm. Only after reaching the Divine Realm can one enter the inner sect of the Sky Sword Pavilion. It is said that only by entering the inner sect does one count as a real disciple of the Sky Sword Pavilion, and the treatnt in the inner sect is infinitely better compared to the outer sect. Naturally, the competition is also infinitely more intense.
At this mont, although Lin Chen's storage ring still contains a large amount of cultivation resources, both divine crystals and demon cores enough to last a long ti, Lin Chen knows that if he continues to hide away in his dwelling to cultivate, he might indeed reach the Divine Realm. However, without the tempering of combat and the enhancent from various secret treasures, Lin Chen's combat power might significantly decrease.
Moreover, Lin Chen is inherently restless; he yearns for battle and adventure, pushing himself to improve under various circumstances. Only by exploring outside and seeking all treasures that can quickly boost one's strength can he reach the Divine Realm at the fastest speed.
However, Lin Chen's purpose of wanting to go out and train is not just this. Qin Lan, Xue Ying, Anna, Tang Bao'er, An Xiaodi, and Feng Jiu all weigh heavily on his mind.
Logically speaking, the Immortal World is so vast, and if ascension was truly random, there is indeed a large possibility that such a group of people ended up in completely different regions from Lin Chen.
But disregarding other regions, even the eastern region alone is exceedingly large, and the place where the Sky Sword Pavilion is located is rely the eastern part of the eastern region. For instance, the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate, where Zhao Xiaohua and her sister are, also belongs to the eastern region, yet the distance to the Sky Sword Pavilion is quite significant.
And Lin Chen's goal is to travel throughout the eastern region and possibly other areas, simultaneously enhancing his cultivation while searching for the whereabouts of everyone. However, if by the ti he reaches the Divine Realm he still has no news of them, Lin Chen will return to the Sky Sword Pavilion to enter the inner sect and continue to improve his cultivation.
After making up his mind, Lin Chen directly went to find the elder Sword Bone and voiced his thoughts.
Sword Bone furrowed his brows upon hearing him, pondered for a mont, and said:
"With your current strength, it's sowhat dangerous to stay outside, yet there's truly nothing in the outer sect that can foster your progress. Here's the deal: go to the Affairs Pavilion and complete the 33rd elite task. Once you finish it, you may leave the Sky Sword Pavilion, but in any case, you must return within six months!"
Lin Chen understood that Sword Bone was still worried about him, thus wishing to use this so-called task to test his strength. If he genuinely couldn't complete it, he would likely be unable to leave the Sky Sword Pavilion.
Nonetheless, Lin Chen remained confident in himself, resolved to complete the task as quickly as possible and then leave the Sky Sword Pavilion directly.
"Alright, Elder. I'll proceed with the task right away!"
"Mm! Off you go then, take care on the road, for this task is not easily accomplished!"
With that, Lin Chen bowed to bid Sword Bone farewell and then headed straight to the Affairs Pavilion.
Upon his arrival at the Affairs Pavilion, Lin Chen imdiately noticed two familiar figures, and those two also noticed Lin Chen.
"Hey, Brother Lin Chen! Over here!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly and walked over, asking:
"You two are here as well? Are you taking on a task together?"
He saw that both Mo Wan'er and Li Ping were present. After the grand competition ended, Lin Chen had yet to et them until now.
Using his current vision, Lin Chen could perceive that the aura of both Mo Wan'er and Li Ping had improved; they had broken through realms. Mo Wan'er had reached the third level of the Divine Scholar and could break through to the fourth level at any mont, while Li Ping had already achieved the fourth level of the Divine Scholar, with a solid and strong presence.
Mo Wan'er pouted and said:
"Brother Lin Chen, it's been so long since the grand competition, and you haven't co to play with us. We didn't dare to seek you out ourselves, fearing we'd disturb your cultivation! By the way, you took first place in the competition, yet you still owe
a big al!"
Lin Chen smiled at her response:
"Heh, look at ; I was so focused on cultivation that I forgot all about it!"
Li Ping also laughed and added:
"Wan'er, stop teasing. Brother Lin's achieved such cultivation through diligent training, unlike your lazy fishing-every-three-days approach! Speaking of which, even I can't fathom Brother Lin's current realm!"
"Hehe!"
Lin Chen didn't dwell on that topic and instead said:
"Are you two here for a task as well?"
"Yes, we've taken tasks together before so we can look out for each other. Are you here for a task as well, Brother Lin?"
Lin Chen nodded, not concealing the truth from them, and said:
"I'm here to take on a task specified by Elder Sword Bone. Once the task is completed, I'm going to leave here and train outside!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Ping and Mo Wan'er were sowhat surprised, but then they considered Lin Chen's cultivation and understood. With Lin Chen's combat power, the outer sect offered no further developnt prospects for him.
Mo Wan'er asked curiously:
"Brother Lin Chen, what's your task? It must be tough if Elder Sword Bone specified it! And if it's on the way, we can do the task together!"
Li Ping was also interested as he turned to listen. Both were curious about the task assigned by the elder, and if Lin Chen traveled with them, their task would essentially be without danger.
Lin Chen considered this point too, and he was willing to lend a hand to the two of them.
"I don't know either. Elder said it's the 33rd elite task, so I have to go over there to see it for myself."
"If that's the case, let's go together!"
The three of them arrived at the task area, where the elder known as Elder Qin was still guarding.
Elder Qin glanced at Lin Chen with sleepy eyes, a flash of wisdom subtly passing through his gaze as he sized Lin Chen up aningfully before closing his eyes again.
Lin Chen paid no mind, directly taking the token for the 33rd elite task.
"Task content: Slay the Iron-tailed Tiger in the Yin Wind Forest to the south of the Sky Sword Mountains."
"Task description: The Iron-tailed Tiger lives in families, numbering two to five. The strongest among them reaches the peak of the ninth level of the Divine Scholar, with one at the early stage of the ninth level and a cub at the fifth level. They are cautious and ferocious by nature."
Upon seeing the task content, Lin Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Slaying a pair of ninth-level Iron-tailed Tigers, along with all their cubs?
