CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 626: AMBITION

"Congratulations to Shen Keqing!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

"You are all too kind."

Shen Xing said, clasping his hands in return.

Liu Xiao then looked at Ling Chen and said with a smile, "Young Master Ling, are you willing to become an inner disciple of my Tianxing Pavilion?"

"I am willing. Thank you, Pavilion Master!"

Ling Chen hastily bowed respectfully.

At this moment, he also understood that Liu Xiao’s help was probably mostly for Shen Xing’s sake.

After all, although he had killed Ye Fentian and shattered the future hopes of the Burning Flame Sect,

he had inevitably provoked their wrath.

Retribution was bound to come.

Currently, the Burning Flame Sect was still the ruler of the Eastern Domain.

If Ye Tianjun were enraged, the entire East Qing Province would feel the tremors.

No one knew just how powerful the Burning Flame Sect truly was.

Ling Chen was already very satisfied that Tianxing Pavilion was willing to shelter him.

He didn’t care much about other insignificant details.

"Hmm."

Liu Xiao nodded, then said with a smile, "Have your family and friends live with you."

Then he turned to Liu Yu and said, "Yu’er, arrange for Ling Chen’s accommodations."

"Yes, Father!"

Liu Yu nodded in response and said to Ling Chen, "Young Master Ling, this way, please!"

"Alright."

Ling Chen and the others immediately followed.

Shen Xing also intended to follow Ling Chen, but was stopped by Liu Xiao: "Shen Keqing, I have prepared a feast in the Tianxing Hall to celebrate. Please, this way!"

"Alright then."

Shen Xing nodded.

Inside Tianxing Pavilion’s inner chambers.

"Young Pavilion Master, you have my thanks."

In a huge courtyard, Ling Chen thanked Liu Yu with a bow.

This courtyard was the largest one within the inner chambers.

To the north of the courtyard stood a three-story building.

Normally, inner chamber disciples would not receive such treatment.

Knowing that Ling Chen had many relatives and friends, Liu Yu offered his own residence for Ling Chen’s use.

"Young Master Ling, there’s no need for formalities. You are now a disciple of our Tianxing Pavilion’s inner chambers as well."

Liu Yu gestured dismissively.

Saying this, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Ling Chen, "This contains your Identity Jade for inner chamber disciples, clothing, and some other items."

"Understood."

Ling Chen took it.

"Well then, Young Master Ling, I won’t disturb you any further."

Liu Yu gave Ling Chen a slight smile and then turned to leave.

"Brother, just what is the cultivation level of this Young Pavilion Master? And what about those other Pavilion Masters and Guardians?"

Ling Wu asked while curiously staring at Ling Chen.

Ling Tianxing, Liu Qingcang, Ji Wuya, and others felt the same.

They found the cultivation of this Young Pavilion Master to be inscrutable!

"The Young Pavilion Master is at the seventh level of the Palace Mansion Realm! As for those Pavilion Masters and the like, they are all Kings of the World Realm!"

Ling Chen said.

"Gasp!"

Everyone took in a breath of cold air.

That was terrifying.

Even more terrifying was that Kings of the World Realm had personally come out to greet Ling Chen!

It had only been half a year since Ling Chen left, and yet he received such treatment.

It all seemed too surreal.

"Alright, everyone should settle down first; we can talk about other matters later."

Ling Chen said with a smile.

The courtyard had plenty of rooms, more than enough for a dozen people.

In no time, everyone was well-settled.

Everyone gathered in the great hall on the first floor of the three-story building.

Ling Chen took out several storage rings and distributed them to everyone.

Each contained cultivation resources.

For Ji Wuya, Liu Qingcang, and Ling Wu, Ling Chen gave all Spirit Crystals.

For the others, including his father, it was mostly Spirit Stones,

with only a few Spirit Crystals.

They were mainly for them to use when breaking through to new realms.

Now, his father had also returned to the Primordial Pill Realm.

After all, he had the experience of cultivating to the Primordial Pill Realm.

Before the early stages of the Primordial Pill Realm, there was really no mention of any bottlenecks.

Liu Yu also had some delicacies and wines sent over.

He knew that Ling Chen needed these things for his reunion with his family.

Everyone ate and drank merrily, dispersing only after two hours.

Ling Chen also knew his limits.

Even though he was in the Star Pavilion, he couldn’t be careless as Ye Tianjun from the Burning Flame Sect could attack him at any moment.

Returning to his room.

Ling Chen took out two spatial rings.

One belonged to Ye Fentian, and the other to the high-ranking King Grade Divine Thought Master, Elder Mu.

As for Li Xuan’s spatial ring, it had already turned to ash under the terrifying power of Ghost God Tears.

He had been worried about his father and the others before.

Now that he could relax a bit, he remembered it.

"Truly befitting of the Young Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect!"

Upon inspecting Ye Fentian’s spatial ring, Ling Chen’s face was filled with immense excitement.

The cultivation resources inside were extremely rich.

It contained not only low-grade Spirit Crystals but also mid-grade and even ten high-grade Spirit Crystals.

It was known that high-grade Spirit Crystals were usually only used by those at the World Realm.

Previously, Ling Chen had cultivated using only low-grade Spirit Crystals.

Of course, there were also various King Spiritual Weapons, King Spirit Techniques, and so on.

The spatial ring from the high-ranking King Grade Divine Thought Master was a bit lacking in comparison.

Only some Soul Stones caught Ling Chen’s eye.

After sorting through the two rings a bit, Ling Chen took out a mid-grade Spirit Crystal and began his cultivation.

He had used low-grade Spirit Crystals before.

The effect of his first use of mid-grade Spirit Crystals was astounding.

In just half a day, Ling Chen’s cultivation level had advanced to the mid-phase of the fourth layer of the Palace Mansion Realm!

Night had fallen.

Ling Chen stopped cultivating.

Before long, there was a knock at the door.

Ye Zhenzhen went to open it and allowed the visitor in.

The visitor was none other than Liu Xiao.

"Greetings to Pavilion Master!"

In the living room, Ling Chen got up and greeted the visitor with a bow.

"There’s no need for formality."

Liu Xiao said with a smile.

After Ye Zhenzhen poured tea, she withdrew.

Only the two of them remained in the living room.

Liu Xiao even directly sealed off the living room with World Power.

"Ling Chen, there were some matters that were not convenient to discuss in front of the guardians today. We have come now to talk to you about the Burning Flame Sect."

Liu Xiao spoke.

"Please feel free to speak, Pavilion Master."

Ling Chen replied.

Liu Xiao nodded and said, "Currently, people from the Burning Flame Sect are searching for you in the Eastern Domain. Because Guardian Yue has brought you here, they have not discovered your whereabouts yet."

"Thank you for your concern, Pavilion Master."

Ling Chen thanked him with a gesture.

But Liu Xiao waved his hand and said, "Just listen to me until the end, I plan to announce the news of you joining our Star Pavilion to the public very soon!"

"What?"

Ling Chen was startled.

His eyes were full of confusion; he didn’t understand what medicine Pavilion Master was selling in his gourd.

Even though announcing this news might cause him to be misunderstood as a person who forgets favors and violates loyalty.

But Ling Chen didn’t care.

He was not stubborn or pedantic.

Others wanted to kill him, yet he had to speak reasoning with them?

Moreover, when Ye Fentian invited him to join the Burning Flame Sect initially, there wasn’t any kindness in the offer, and it even had a coercive implication.

"Please speak plainly, Pavilion Master."

Ling Chen said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiao doing so must have his own reasons.

Seeing Ling Chen quickly regain his composure, Liu Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

"I want to use your identity to actively attract the Burning Flame Sect to attack!"

Liu Xiao’s words were shocking!

His eyes sparkled with a rising battle intent.

"Could it be, Pavilion Master, that you are confident in defeating Ye Tianjun?"

Ling Chen’s expression shook as he asked out loud.

Such courage was certainly not possessed by ordinary people.

If it were an ordinary person, they would avoid associating with him as much as possible.

Who would dare accept him?

Yet, Liu Xiao was actually planning to use him as bait to contend with the Burning Flame Sect. This man had great ambitions!

"No."

Liu Xiao shook his head: "However, my ambitions are great!"
