Formation masters in the Void Realm excelled most at defense arrays.
Since this place consisted of individual secret realms, the demands on defensive formations were extremely high, so this branch of the way of formations had developed rapidly.
However, formation masters had no sects of their own.
They were trained by the Major Factions themselves.
After all, a defense array had to be set up by someone trustworthy enough for people to feel safe using it.
It was precisely this that put Chen Lin in a difficult position.
If he hired a formation master to set up a realm-protecting array, he would inevitably expose the existence of the Kaiyuan Realm, which could easily stir covetous intentions.
A mere Void Realm cultivator was not yet qualified to control an entire plane.
The dog hair could deter Void Beasts, but not cultivators.
Chen Lin pondered as he traveled.
He wondered whether he should reveal the Kaiyuan Realm to Jin Ruhua. If he could borrow her name, every difficulty would fall away like bamboo splitting before a blade.
But he had to be cautious about this.
A primal interface was of immeasurable value. This "friend" of his might not withstand the test.
As he pondered this,
Chen Lin flew up to a bamboo grove.
Bright Peak covered an enormous area, and traveling on foot was too slow, so low-altitude flight was not prohibited.
"Please stop, fellow Daoist. You cannot pass through here."
Just as he approached the bamboo grove, a young female cultivator appeared before him and blocked his path.
She was petite and delicate, yet carried an imposing air.
"Please don't misunderstand, fellow Daoist. My name is Chen Lin, and I came specifically to visit Master Wen."
"Chen Lin?"
The young woman scrutinized him.
Suddenly,
her expression shifted.
"You're Elder Jin's... her..."
