"Let's go, let's head out." Qin Chen's heart sank; he hadn't expected that his moment of enlightenment would take up three months. It's worth noting that he had only been in the Heavenly Realm for a few months.
However, this period of enlightenment had brought about an astonishing transformation for Qin Chen.
"Qianxue, Rumoon, Sisi, wait for me. Now that I have the capability to command the major forces in Yunzhou, I will definitely find you all," Qin Chen vowed silently. Sharpening the blade doesn't delay the task of chopping wood; his breakthrough in cultivation provided him with more resources for his search.
"Young Master Chen, what should we do once we exit this Yan Luo Secret Realm?"
Led by Qin Chen, the group quickly departed along the passage of the Yan Luo Holy Lord's demon corpse. Ao Lie cautiously inquired.
Having devoured the Demon Source of Ten Thousand Worlds, he had complete admiration for Qin Chen. Although he wasn't under Qin Chen's soul control, possessing the power of the Demon Source within him meant his soul would shatter if he ever had thoughts of betraying Qin Chen, so he had completely submitted to Qin Chen without any second thoughts.
This method was more convenient than soul control.
After all, soul control required Qin Chen to expend his soul power, and Qin Chen couldn't disperse his soul energy to control too many people.
Beside him, Ao Qingling lowered her head slightly, looking at Qin Chen with a complex expression, unsure of how she felt.
"Our top priority is to first leave this Yan Luo Secret Realm, and then eliminate and subdue the major forces like Tian Yue City," Qin Chen said in a deep voice. "Only by subjugating these forces can we grow stronger and form enough power."
"Eliminate the forces of Tian Yue City and the like?"
Ao Lie and the others were taken aback.
"Of course, why not eliminate them? I see that you are only one step away from becoming an Earth Saint. The only thing you lack is the Holy Aura of Heaven and Earth. With enough of it, you can easily complete the transformation from Earth Saint to Heaven Saint. Not just you, but others as well. If we want to grow, we must seize their wealth. Only in this way can we strengthen ourselves in the shortest time possible."
As Qin Chen spoke, he had already led the group out of the demon corpse.
Whoosh! He arrived at the sky above the Yan Luo Secret Realm, gazing down at the Yan Luo Holy Lord's demon corpse and the vast Yan Luo Secret Realm below.
Suddenly, Qin Chen moved, casting countless incantations with his hands. Instantly, the surrounding space began to rumble and explode. Ao Lie and the others immediately felt the space they were in, and even the entire secret realm, start to tremble.
At the same time, the ground below the Yan Luo Secret Realm began to tremble, as if a terrifying aura from an ancient Holy Vein was surging forth.
This was the ancient Holy Vein beneath the Yan Luo Secret Realm, being stirred by Qin Chen's power.
One must know that the Yan Luo Secret Realm was a top-level stronghold of the Yan Luo Clan, with Holy Lord-level masters stationed, standing for millions of years. How could it have only the ancient Holy Vein that Qin Chen had previously subdued?
To allow such a secret realm to continue having power for millions of years, there must be more than one ancient Holy Vein here.
At this moment, Qin Chen was shaking those ancient Holy Veins and beginning to refine the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm.
"Young Master Chen, you're... actually going to refine the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm and the demon corpse of the Yan Luo Holy Lord?"
Ao Lie, having now attained the level of Heaven Saint, knew what Qin Chen intended to do and was utterly impressed and awed by Qin Chen.
The entire Yan Luo Secret Realm, unknown as to how many things it concealed, was a stronghold of the Yan Luo Demon Tribe from ancient times, containing many battlefields and hidden caves with treasures.
Now, Qin Chen was about to refine the entire Yan Luo Secret Realm. What a grand gesture this was!
