Chapter 547 A New Crisis
Chapter 547 A New Crisis
From then on, Mei Jiu Niang clung to Lin Chen, wanting to travel together, never leaving his side, and not wanting to waste a single drop of his life.
Wherever Lin Chen went, she followed. During the day, she didn't disturb Lin Chen's unrestrained and free-spirited nature.
But every night, she would pester Lin Chen to "cultivate" with her; she really wanted a child.
Half a month later, Mei Jiu Niang got her wish.
That morning, instead of pestering Lin Chen to cultivate as usual, she got up early, sat by the window, holding a cup of tea, her face a little pale.
Lin Chen sat up from the bed, glanced at her, walked over, and put his hand on her wrist.
Mei Jiu Niang's tears streamed down her cheeks, reaching the corners of her mouth, and tasted salty.
She packed her things and prepared to return to Huan Valley to rest and prepare for her pregnancy.
As she left, she hugged Lin Chen's waist, pressed her face against his chest, and mumbled something in a low voice:
"Lin Chen, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a complete woman."
Lin Chen patted Mei Jiu Niang's head without saying anything, but sighed inwardly, "I've really become a stud."
……
Yan Ruyu's cultivation had been stabilizing for half a year before she finally broke through.
She stood on the roof of the Hehuan Palace, spread her arms, felt the surging power within her, and roared to the sky, her voice echoing across the surrounding area.
The girls from Hehuan Valley ran out from all directions, looked up at the woman in the white dress on the roof, paused for a moment, and then burst into a deafening cheer.
"Our ancestor has broken through!"
"True Lord! It's the True Lord!"
"Our Hehuan Sect has a True Lord!"
Some people cried, some laughed, and some hugged each other, crying and laughing at the same time.
……
The major infrastructure project in Zhongzhou is nearing completion.
The tower was built to a height of 9,999 zhang.
From a distance, it looks like a giant pillar stuck on Zhongzhou Peak, piercing the sky, with its top disappearing into the clouds and not visible.
The runes on the tower shimmered in the sunlight, golden and visible for miles around.
It absorbs sunlight during the day and emits light at night, like a giant lamppost.
The Avengers wiped out 99% of the ancient seals.
With Zhang Yiyuan leading the team, Long Zaitian providing support, and Jian Shisan as the main attacker, their teamwork became increasingly seamless.
Starting with the weakest, we cleared them out one by one, and now we've cleared out the strongest ones.
If they couldn't solve something, they would report it to Lü Bu. Lü Bu would strike with his halberd, and everything would be shattered cleanly and efficiently, leaving no future trouble.
The Guardians of the Galaxy's training is also coming to an end.
Zhao Zilong trained hundreds of land immortals into a true elite force.
Their movements were synchronized, their coordination was excellent, and when they joined forces, they could contend with a peak True Monarch.
Because of Lin Chen, everything on the Tianyuan Continent is developing in a positive direction, as if it has been given a second spring.

That day, Lin Chen was listening to music in a brothel in a city in the Northern Desert.
The brothels in the northern desert are different from those in other places.
In other places, the brothels had a gentle and reserved style, with girls wearing thin gauze, hiding themselves and being coy, like looking at flowers through a layer of mist.
The brothels in the northern desert are characterized by their passionate and unrestrained style. The girls wear short skirts, expose their thighs, and dance enthusiastically, like clusters of burning fire.
The music is different too. The music from other regions is soft and gentle, making your bones feel weak and your eyelids droop.
The music from the northern desert is fiery, making your heart race and your blood boil.
Lin Chen leaned back in his chair, squinted, and tapped his fingers lightly on his knee.
On the table in front of him was a pot of wine and several small dishes.
The wine was brewed by Chen Cang, and the dishes were prepared by the chefs of the brothel. They were specialties of the Northern Desert, spicy and fragrant, and Lin Chen was sweating as he ate. It was very much to his liking.
The girl played the pipa and sang a folk song from the northern desert. The tune was so cheerful that it made people want to sway along.
Lin Chen's fingers tapped faster and faster, and his head swayed along with them.
When the song ended, Lin Chen opened his eyes, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.
The liquor was quite strong; it felt like a burning line going down his throat, burning from his throat to his stomach, making him wince.
Just as he was about to ask the girl to play another tune, Lin Chen suddenly sensed something with his divine sense.
He put down his glass and closed his eyes.
His divine sense traversed the clouds, passed through the continental barrier, and reached the chaotic void.
Countless extraterrestrial creatures floated in the void, arranged in neat rows, like an army awaiting orders, a dark mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Lin Chen's divine sense swept over them.
There were more than a dozen at the semi-saint level and several at the saint level.
They floated silently, motionless, like statues, like dead people.
But Lin Chen knew they were all waiting for that seal to break.
The seal can only last for a year, and eleven months have already passed.
A month later, the seal will break, and they will surge into the Tianyuan Continent like a tidal wave, submerging and devouring everything.
Lin Chen's divine sense continued to probe forward, past those extraterrestrial creatures, past the void, and into deeper depths.
When he reached a certain distance, Lin Chen's divine sense was blocked.
It wasn't blocked by people, it was blocked by the void itself.
It was as if an invisible wall was blocking his way, and his divine sense could not penetrate it.
That wall wasn't made of spiritual energy, nor was it made of an array; it was something of a higher level.
Lin Chen frowned and increased the output of his divine sense, but the wall remained unmoved.
Just as Lin Chen was about to withdraw his divine sense, he sensed a gaze.
That gaze came from the depths of the void, passing through the invisible wall, through the void, through those extraterrestrial creatures, through the continental barrier, through the clouds, and landed on Lin Chen.
It was neither malicious nor benevolent.
It's a pure, emotionless scrutiny, like someone examining an object.
See if it's worth your time, see if it has any value.
Lin Chen's consciousness met that gaze for a moment.
The owner of that gaze seemed to hesitate for a moment, as if weighing something, as if making a decision.
Then that gaze returned to its source.
Lin Chen's divine sense lingered in place for a moment, making sure that the gaze would not reappear before withdrawing it.
Lin Chen opened his eyes, picked up his wine glass and took a sip, his expression somewhat solemn.
The girl, holding her pipa, looked at Lin Chen and asked cautiously:
"Young master, is there anything else you'd like to hear?"
Lin Chen put down his wine glass and stood up: "I'm not listening anymore."
He left the private room and went downstairs.
As I reached the door, the madam greeted me, her eyes crinkling with a smile.
"Take care, sir. Come again next time."
Lin Chen waved his hand and walked out.
Standing at the entrance of the brothel, Lin Chen looked up at the sky.
The sky was blue, the clouds were white, the sun was shining brightly, and the wind was gentle.
Everything is fine, as if nothing ever happened.
People came and went on the street, chatting and laughing. Some were buying vegetables, some were selling vegetables, some were haggling over prices, and some were walking their dogs.
They were unaware of what was happening in the void, unaware that extraterrestrial beings were gathering, and unaware of the existence of that gaze.
But they'll find out sooner or later.
Lin Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart, as if a stone was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He couldn't see through the owner of that gaze.
The other party's cultivation level is at least one major realm higher than his.
Peak half-step Emperor? Or Emperor?
Lin Chen frowned, having made a decision in his mind.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and swept it in front of him. The void cracked open, and he stepped into it.
The crack closed, and people came and went on the street without noticing.
In the chaotic void, the middle-aged man in gray robes looked thoughtfully at the Tianyuan Great World.
He was a half-step Emperor, stronger than he had anticipated.
The person seemed to have sensed his presence; although they hadn't found him, they were certainly on guard.
The gray-robed man remained silent for a long time before closing his eyes.
We can't take any risks; who knows what tricks the god who forged the Chaos Tower might have up his sleeve?
