Inner perimeter of the Abandoned Plains.

A figure is moving swiftly, covered in blood, with an uncommonly pale face. Crimson keeps oozing from his mouth, his entire aura is weak, and amidst his panic is a trace of resoluteness.

This person is none other than Jin Hu, who went to report to the third trading town.

Jin Hu, after leaving the Valley of Undead, returned smoothly to the third trading town, found Yun Cheng, and relayed Yan Li’s instructions, using a token as proof.

Yun Cheng, upon hearing the events, was deeply moved. He didn’t expect Jiang Chen to dare snatch food from the jaws of so many people.

"Worthy of being the disciple of a drunkard!"

With a sigh of admiration, Yun Cheng used the special method of Wind Thunder Valley to recall the battle general Lu Xian and began calling upon the strong warriors of Wind Thunder Valley.

Yun Cheng understood Yan Li’s intention, which was secondary to having Lu Xian and his men help break the siege of the Valley of Undead. The most important task was to escort Jiang Chen into the Central Region.

If Jiang Chen truly has the ability to seize all the Necro Spirits from the Valley of Undead, then they would be qualified to assault the Saint’s Relic in the Central Region.

Due to being targeted by Lei Yang Village, Wind Thunder Valley has only found Jiang Chen as an Array Master so far. If one intends to enter the Saint’s Relic in this Necro Spirit Plain without an Array Master, not enough people can be gathered to survive the Necro Spirits of the relic.

It’s well known that the quantity of Necro Spirits in every high-level relic is vast, and each Dead Spirit Gathering Point on the Abandoned Plains is left by high-level powerhouses, the lowest being at the initial stage of Unity Realm Stage.

The relic Jiang Chen and others encountered with Lu Zheng only had over ten thousand Necro Spirits because Lu Zheng wasn’t completely fallen. Now that Lu Zheng has already perished, in a few years, it will also become a massive gathering point for Necro Spirits.

This is a characteristic of the Abandoned Plains.

Understanding Yan Li’s intention, Yun Cheng directly notified all Unity Realm strong warriors of Wind Thunder Valley during the gathering.

The Abandoned Plains are filled with nearly a third of Canglan Continent’s strong warriors at their wits’ end. After gaining power, not every cultivator chooses to be patient. The path of the cultivator inevitably involves disputes and battles, and unexpectedly, one might end up killing someone from an untouchable force.

Therefore, the number of Unity Realm strong warriors on these Abandoned Plains is much larger than those in major forces, while the Eight Villages have gathered almost half of the Abandoned Plains’ strong warriors, each village having over a hundred Unity Realm warriors.

As a result of urgently assembling a team, it inevitably consumed time. Jin Hu, concerned for Jiang Chen and others, after receiving Yun Cheng’s affirmative response, headed toward the Valley of Undead first.

However, he encountered an ambush after leaving the third trading area!

Deputy leader Gui Ying of Lei Yang Village!

When Jin Hu attempted to fight desperately, he unexpectedly discovered a slim chance of survival. Seizing the opportunity, he tried it and miraculously escaped from Gui Ying’s clutches.

After escaping, Jin Hu intended to reunite with Jiang Chen and others but halted halfway.

He was aware of his limitations; escaping from Gui Ying was almost impossible.

Although Jin Hu was straightforward by nature, he was not truly foolish. He quickly realized that Gui Ying wanted to use him to locate Jin Hu.

With this realization, Jin Hu decisively changed direction, leading Gui Ying around the inner perimeter of the Abandoned Plains, avoiding heading toward the Valley of Undead.

Cough! Cough!

After running some distance, Jin Hu was exhausted. He hurriedly found a patch of forest to heal and rest, without any defenses. He knew there would be someone who would clear the threats around him, ensuring he neither died nor fully recovered.

While Jin Hu was busy running around, the Valley of Undead remained quiet for a week until some movement finally occurred.

Space within the valley’s cliff wall.

Yan Hu and the other two sat in a circle around Jiang Chen, cautiously guarding for a week.

"When will Brother Jiang wake up? If he doesn’t wake up soon, won’t we miss the time to go to the Central Region?"

Yun Hai glanced at Jiang Chen, who was emitting a majestic aura of Primordial Spirit, and murmured softly.

"The longer it takes, the more benefits Brother Jiang gains. It’s a good thing."

Yan Li spoke softly, "As for the Saint’s Relic in the Central Region that’s about to emerge, there’s no need to worry too much. The relic is shrouded by a powerful formation. Even the eight Village Chiefs can’t breach it; we can only wait for it to weaken and dissipate. To forcibly break that formation, it takes quite a number of Array Masters, who are so scarce that gathering them is not easy."

"The Lei Yang Village seems to have a way to independently open that grand formation. If they succeed..."

Worry flashed in Yun Hai’s eyes.

"Impossible!"

Yan Hu spoke softly, "The Young Master told me that the method for Lei Yang Village to independently open the formation has fallen into his hands; Lei Yang Village can no longer open it on their own."

"Fallen into his hands?"

Yan Li and Yun Hai exclaimed with joy, staring at Jiang Chen, suddenly realizing, "Is it the space ring of Lei Ying?"

"Yes."

Yan Hu nodded, without explaining further.

Yan Li and Yun Hai didn’t inquire more, but excitement gleamed in their eyes. If that’s the case, perhaps this expedition of Wind Thunder Valley and Yun Family to the Abandoned Plains could make them the biggest winners!

Swoosh!

At that moment, the entire space burst into brilliant golden light, and the three around Yan Hu suddenly lost their vision.

"What’s happening?"

Startled, Yun Hai activated his Spiritual Power frantically, forming a bright shield on his body. Great Dao Divine Light erupted, preparing for battle.

"Don’t worry, it’s the Young Master’s aura!"

Yan Hu closed his eyes, speaking with excitement in his voice. The golden light contained an extremely powerful aura, which threatened him.

The greater the threat, the happier Yan Hu felt because this was Jiang Chen’s power; Jiang Chen had become stronger!

"Primordial Spirit Power! Such strong Primordial Spirit Power, is Mr Jiang condensing the Primordial Spirit?"

Yan Li called out in horror, eyes closed.

"How is it possible? Condensing Primordial Spirit is something only saints can do; without Unity of Power, it’s impossible!"

Yun Hai exclaimed.

Indeed, when the golden light shimmered for a while and then retracted into Jiang Chen’s body, that so-called Primordial Spirit hadn’t successfully condensed. Had it been successful, it should manifest.

Inside Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s Divine Infant transformed into a mass of golden light, humanoid in silhouette but vague and unable to materialize.

"Wasn’t successful?"

Jiang Chen’s voice came from the light mass.

With a gentle sigh, Jiang Chen’s voice, slightly consoling, sounded: "But it’s fine; Road Senior’s assistance has saved me the time to temper the Primordial Spirit. I shouldn’t be too greedy!"
