Primordial Emperor

After breaking through to the Seventh Level of the Nirvana Realm, Lin Chen clearly felt that his combat strength had improved once again. If he were to face Ao Huo, who had previously attacked him, Lin Chen would certainly not be as embarrassed and would easily win.

After the breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Chen pondered over the matter with Ao Huo but thought it was still too early to consider it.

After all, despite Lin Chen's breakthrough to the Seventh Level of the Nirvana Realm, there were still many threats in Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

Thus, if Lin Chen were to investigate this matter, it would only alert those people, causing them to act against him out of fear.

After all, surviving the first assassination attempt involved some luck. If there were a few more waves of attacks, Lin Chen might not be as fortunate.

However, now Lin Chen could at least ensure his safety against the strongest in the Outer Sect.

In the Outer Sect, no matter how strong they were, they were likely comparable to Zi Ling. Although Lin Chen couldn't contend directly with Zi Ling, escaping her grasp was relatively easy.

Moreover, Lin Chen's breakthrough in the Soul Capture Technique gave him the ability to turn the tide in battle. However, unless absolutely necessary, Lin Chen wouldn't use this move, as it would deplete a large amount of his Soul Power.

Once used, it had to be a swift kill.

Nonetheless, although Lin Chen wouldn't investigate those people or pursue Ao Huo, he could privately gather information on the Black Yan Hall.

Since they had sent people to attack him, Lin Chen wouldn't just let them have their way; he needed to understand their strength for future revenge.

And the most direct way to learn about Black Yan Hall was through the Library Pavilion of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

The next day, Lin Chen didn't practice but left Yellow Hall and went to the Library Pavilion of Yunlong Heavenly Palace.

However, after searching in the Library Pavilion, Lin Chen found no information about Black Yan Hall.

This troubled Lin Chen. Could it be that Yunlong Heavenly Palace didn't have any records on this adversary?

Or was it deliberately hidden by Yunlong Heavenly Palace?

"No, this Library Pavilion seems to have more than one level."

Lin Chen suddenly remembered that upon entering the Library Pavilion, the entrance to the second level was right next to the main door.

Thus, Lin Chen went to the entrance of the Library Pavilion, only to find someone guarding it.

The person wore white robes, leisurely resting on a chair with legs crossed, appearing quite at ease.

"Junior Brother, with your identity, you cannot enter the second level of the Library Pavilion. You need a recommendation from an Elder or an Identity Token of an Inner Sect Disciple. Please return," said the relaxed white-robed man calmly.

The person had an extraordinary presence, clearly aware of Lin Chen's movements despite seemingly asleep, indicating he was not an ordinary disciple.

Lin Chen nodded in return as a courtesy.

"Hehe, kid, you're just a Seventh Level Nirvana Realm trash, yet you wish to enter the second level of the Library Pavilion. You're truly daydreaming."

"But I see that for someone like you, nobody would lend you an Identity Token."

"I'm an Inner Sect Disciple. If you kowtow to me three times on the ground and agree to be my follower, be my henchman, I can lend you this Identity Token. How about that?"

As Lin Chen was about to return to Yellow Hall after bowing to the Library Pavilion's guard, a voice called out from behind.

Lin Chen turned and saw a gray-robed man with an imposing aura but somewhat unattractive features.

However, his attire and cultivation made that easy to overlook. His restrained aura seemed to announce he was at the Sixth Layer of the Creation Realm.

Indeed, with the cultivation of the Sixth Layer of the Creation Realm, this guy had the right to be arrogant, not weak among Inner Sect disciples. After all, Zhuang Xiaoqin was just at the Fifth Layer of the Creation Realm.

Lin Chen recognized him as an Inner Sect Disciple from Heaven Hall named Xiang Fei, seen in the Spirit Formation Hall classes and seemingly a suitor of Zhuang Xiaoqin.

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly, wondering why such annoying people always sought to provoke him.

Lin Chen ignored the person, turning to leave.

Since Outer Sect disciples couldn't enter the second level, Lin Chen would come again later. With his connections to Duan Yuanfeng and Wang Tong, getting a temporarily used Inner Sect Identity Token wasn't difficult.

"Kid, stop right there."

"With such cultivation, a trash like you could still get into Yunlong Heavenly Palace. It seems this year's examination was overly lenient, letting you in through connections."

Xiang Fei saw Lin Chen turning to leave without intending to kneel and become a subordinate, his brows furrowed.

Many other disciples would jump at such an opportunity, but this guy seemed indifferent.

As some disciples gathered, whispering among themselves, Xiang Fei felt humiliated.

Hearing Xiang Fei's words, Lin Chen was speechless, turning to leave since he didn't feel like engaging with the person.

After all, the opponent was at the Sixth Layer of the Creation Realm, which Lin Chen couldn't possibly defeat. Any ruse from them would easily overpower him.

And if Lin Chen really wanted to deal with him, he would have to use trump cards like Dragon Fang, which wasn't something he preferred.

Yet just as Lin Chen turned to leave, he saw a figure entering from outside the Library Pavilion.

The gentle demeanor and pleasing appearance allowed Lin Chen to recognize her.

"Junior Sister Zhuang, why are you here? Looking for some books? Want Senior Brother to help you find them?"

Xiang Fei saw Zhuang Xiaoqin walking in from the Library Pavilion, immediately putting on a smile and approaching.

"No need, I'm just looking up something; I know the location," Zhuang Xiaoqin replied to Xiang Fei calmly.

"Zhuang Xiaoqin, you're just in time. Lend me your Identity Token," Lin Chen said upon seeing Zhuang Xiaoqin.

Though the last time Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue had conspired to falsely accuse him, Lin Chen no longer held it against them, but he naturally wouldn't be cordial either.

"How presumptuous, what do you think you are, daring to call Junior Sister Zhuang by name?"
