Chen Lin first summoned Yang Wentai.
He told him to notify Nanmen Lingyue that there was no need to keep searching for the Treasure Chest.
Then he had Grass return to the Thunder God Sword.
Golden armor covered his body, and the broken saber rested in his hand.
He was armed to the teeth.
After a moment's thought, he also took out the Cloak of Xikeli and draped it over himself, placing every treasure he might need within easy reach.
Although his talent ability sensed little danger at White Cloud Pasture, he had not entered it for so many years that there was no telling what it had become. He had to be cautious, then more cautious still.
With everything ready, Chen Lin took out the Bagua Mirror as well.
He looked at it, then shook his head and put it away.
This Elder Ancient true treasure was of too high a grade. With his current strength, he could not activate it and could only gaze at the vast ocean and sigh.
To use it, he would have to either reach the peak of the Void Realm or condense at least three Inner Stars. Otherwise, he could forget about it.
Even after meeting those requirements, he would probably only be able to draw on a sliver of its power.
"Get ready. I'm going to activate the Shepherd Token!"
Chen Lin dismissed his distracting thoughts, alerted Grass, and activated the Shepherd Token without further hesitation.
The token flashed, and he vanished from his fiefdom.
The next moment.
He appeared inside White Cloud Pasture.
Chen Lin had activated the cloak's invisibility effect, so only a spatial fluctuation appeared in the pasture, with no figure in sight.
But being invisible made no difference. The pasture was utterly empty, without a single living thing!
