However, Lin Shen didn’t think so. He nodded without hesitation.

Seeing that Lin Shen had made up his mind, Qi Dao gave him a long look and stopped trying to talk him out of it. He raised his hand slightly, and a stream of light rushed out.

Lin Shen reached out to take it. It was a storage ring.

“There are the keys to setting up the array formations and the array flags required. After obtaining the C-3 array point, you just have to set up the array formation according to the key instructions on the jade slip.”

“Thank you, Elder Qi!”

Lin Shen cupped his hands and left without any hesitation.

It wasn’t until Lin Shen left the hall that Wen Jintian frowned slightly and said in a low voice,

“Elder Qi, isn’t it too risky to let Lin Shen attack the C-3 formation point alone?”

Before Qi Dao could answer, another Elder suddenly spoke.

“I think it’s a good idea. Lin Shen’s strength and cultivation level are the best among the younger generation of cultivators, and he’s also the disciple of Master Yu. He’s different from ordinary Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters. Perhaps he can really take down that formation point.”

The person who spoke was Elder An Guanghai, one of the three elders of the influential family.

Wen Jintian glanced at An Guanghai coldly and snorted inwardly.

Of course, he knew that An Guanghai didn’t mean what he said. This guy couldn’t wait for Lin Shen to take the risk. He probably wished Lin Shen could die in C-3.

This way, the master-disciple lineage would have one less peerless genius, and the influential families would have one less competitor with great potential.

Another influential family Elder chuckled and said, “The young man is full of fighting spirit. We can’t disappoint him.”

“I think it’s better to play safe,” said an Elder from the master-disciple lineage with a frown.

Seeing that the two sides were about to be at daggers drawn, Qi Dao raised his hand in time to stop everyone and said calmly,

ii

Lin Shen isn’t a reckless person. Since he dares to accept the mission to attack the C-3 formation point, it means that he’s confident about his ability. Let’s just wait and see.”

To be honest, Qi Dao also didn’t approve of Lin Shen choosing the C-3 formation point.

However, as the leader of the guarding Elders, he wouldn’t turn down his disciple’s request for no reason.

Since Lin Shen had decided to attack the formation point, he wouldn’t reject it.

Qi Dao also wanted to see if this young man whom the master-disciple lineage had placed high hopes on would really bring them a surprise.

Qi Dao had a lot of prestige. The moment he spoke, the other six Elders immediately shut up.

The three influential families’ Elders looked at each other and sneered inwardly.

The C-3 formation point was a tough nut to crack.

It wasn’t only because it had a strong garrison but also because this formation point was close to the center of the Blood Sea Sect’s forces. It was surrounded by the Blood Sea Sect’s formation points in three directions.

Even if Lin Shen was lucky enough to take down the formation point, he would definitely have to face the Blood Sea Sect’s endless counterattack.

It was easier said than done to hold on for a month!

This time, even if Lin Shen didn’t die in battle, he would most likely escape in a sorry state.

At that time, they would let their subordinates spread the news and take the opportunity to suppress Lin Shen’s reputation!

This junior’s reputation had increased greatly recently. If they didn’t do something now, it would probably be more and more difficult to suppress him in the future.

As soon as he came out of the hall and walked down to the top floor, Liao Sen, who was waiting outside, greeted him.

“Brother Lin, how did it go? What mission did the Elders assign you?”

“I’m to attack the formation point,” Lin Shen said.

Liao Sen thought to himself, “I knew it.”

He knew that with Lin Shen’s strength and cultivation level, he would definitely not be sent to trivial tasks like patrolling and investigating. Otherwise, it would be a waste of his talent.

“Which formation point is it? D-5 or B-7?” Liao Sen asked curiously.

“C-3.” Lin Shen smiled.

Liao Sen was stunned when he heard that. After a while, he swallowed and said,

“Brother Lin, the situation at that formation point…”

Lin Shen nodded and said, “1 know.”

Liao Sen was speechless. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

From the looks of it, Lin Shen had taken on the mission to attack the C-3 formation point all by himself.

There were no less than ten Blood Sea Sect cultivator masters guarding that formation point. Furthermore, there was a high chance that there were late-phase Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters there.

How could Lin Shen attack that formation point alone?

Even if he took it down, how could he defend it?

Liao Sen knew much more than ordinary cultivator masters. After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth.

“Brother Lin, you might not know this, but the C-3 formation point is in a special location. Blood Sea Sect’s formation points exist in its east, west, and north, and they resonate with each other from afar. Even if you take down the formation point, you’ll definitely have to face Blood Sea Sect’s fierce counterattack!”

Lin Shen raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect the C-3 formation point to contain such danger.

Even so, he still didn’t plan to change his plan.

Without risk, there would be no gains. The formation point had the characteristic of gathering spiritual essence, and the surrounding spiritual essence was much richer than other places in the spiritual cave. Coupled with the Yin energy, it was very beneficial for cultivating the Nether Yin Heavy Water.

He couldn’t give up such a rare opportunity.

As for the danger, Lin Shen didn’t think much of it.

Others thought that he was attacking the C-3 formation point alone, but only he knew that he had seven members on his side, and that excluding the Amaze the World clone.

Ever since he used Amaze the World last time, Lin Shen had never used this trump card again.

Until now, the Amaze the World clone had been nurtured for about half a year.

Back when he was still at the Bright Aperture Stage, he could severely injure a Spirit Nurturing cultivator master with the Amaze the World clone that he had nurtured for half a year.

Now that he was using it as a cultivator master, he didn’t know how powerful it would be.

He might be able to kill a cultivator master who had condensed the Mystic Light Seed in one strike!

“Brother Liao, don’t worry. Do I look like someone who’s courting death?” Lin Shen smiled.

Liao Sen wanted to say something but hesitated.

Although he had only interacted with Lin Shen for a short while, he could tell that Lin Shen wasn’t a rash person who would make reckless moves.

On the contrary, Lin Shen’s every move gave people a sense of calmness.

Naturally, such a person wouldn’t rashly accept a mission that he couldn’t complete.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn’t think of a way for Lin Shen to deal with the C-3 formation point, which was a hard nut to crack.

Lin Shen saw this and didn’t explain further. He patted Liao Sen’s shoulder and turned to walk out of the camp.

There was no time to lose. He wanted to take down the C-3 formation point so that he could cultivate the Nether Yin Heavy Water as soon as possible.

There was a map of the spirit cave in the storage ring that Qi Dao had given him. Although it wasn’t as detailed and three-dimensional as the ink map Dharma treasure, it still marked the locations of all the formation points, including the one occupied by the Blood Sea Sect.

Following the map, Lin Shen quickly arrived near the C-3 formation point.

Standing on a jagged rock, Lin Shen looked out. The mountain wall a mile away was shrouded in a hazy fog, and he could vaguely see a cave inside.

With the cave as the center, array flags were planted all over the mountain walls within a radius of a hundred meters.

The flag fluttered without any wind, and the fog that enveloped the mountain wall came from within the flag.

The surrounding spiritual essence was attracted by some invisible force and kept gathering into the cave, turning it into a Cave Abode that was no weaker than an Essence Prefecture.

Usually, the spirit cave wasn’t very beneficial to cultivator masters, and for them, cultivating here was no different from cultivating outside.

But after being modified by the formation point, it was completely different.

While guarding the formation points, one could also cultivate at the same time, killing two birds with one stone.

However, Lin Shen wasn’t very interested in that aspect.

After all, Goldstream Isle was considered one of the best in the Essence Prefecture Cave Abodes.

The concentration of spiritual essence far exceeded the formation point in front of him.

What really interested him was the underground river not far from the mountain wall.

Even from afar, Lin Shen could feel the cold wind blowing over from there. It was bone-chilling.

One could also clearly hear the gushing sound of the underground river. From time to time, the sound of water hitting stones could be heard. It was noisy, and it was obvious that the current was very rapid.

Lin Shen took a deep breath. The ten drops of Nether Yin Heavy Water in his chest aperture seemed to have sensed something and immediately trembled slightly, becoming more and more agile.

11

It’s indeed a good place to cultivate the Nether Yin Heavy Water!”

Lin Shen focused his gaze and looked into his body. A happy smile appeared on his face.

If he could focus on cultivating here for a month, he would be able to condense at least 20 to 30 drops of Nether Yin Heavy Water. At that time, even if he didn’t rely on his talent and Dharma treasures, he would almost be invincible among Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters who had yet to condense the seed of Mystic Light!

With a laugh, Lin Shen didn’t hide his aura at all and flew openly toward the formation point.

Almost immediately, the Blood Sea Sect cultivator masters in the cave sensed Lin Shen’s existence..
