Proving the Dao as a Rare-Tier Creature! Bounty Issued by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land!

"Boom boom boom--"

A large hand, shrouded in wisps of black energy, reached out to grab Lin Zichen like a mountain pressing down.

The large hand moved with incredible speed, catching up with the fleeing Lin Zichen in an instant.

Lin Zichen knew that he couldn't escape by running away normally.

So he made a quick decision and used his Biological Attribute [Digging Instinct] to escape underground.

A sound of earth and rocks shattering was heard.

Lin Zichen, who was just on the ground, vanished into the ground in the next second, disappearing without a trace.

Almost at the same time he disappeared.

The giant hand, shrouded in wisps of black mist, slammed into the ground, sending dust and debris flying and raising a cloud of clouds.

When the large hand leaves.

A giant crater, more than ten meters deep, had suddenly appeared on the ground.

The area around the crater is covered with numerous shockingly large cracks.

This shows just how terrifying the power of this palm strike was.

If the shot hits precisely, killing a rare-level creature is a piece of cake.

"How did you do that?"

A puzzled voice came from within the black mist.

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadowy man over three meters tall emerged from the black mist, staring incredulously at the palm-shaped crater at his feet.

More accurately, it was looking at the bottomless cave in the center of the pit.

This bottomless cave was just dug out by Lin Zichen with his bare hands.

It was unearthed in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable.

Deep underground.

Lin Zichen continued digging deeper and deeper, not daring to stop for even a moment.

Even though his [Danger Perception] had stopped, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The Origin Land is teeming with powerful individuals, and no one knows whether these powerful individuals have the means to shield themselves from [Danger Perception].

100 meters...

200 meters...

300 meters...

When the excavation depth reached 1024 meters.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Lin Zichen felt as if he had unearthed something.

He wanted to stop and see what was going on.

But as soon as they stopped, before they even had a chance to observe their surroundings...

Suddenly, the dry, hard soil in front of him rippled like water, forming a huge vortex that sucked him in.

I don't know how much time passed.

It seemed to be a few seconds.

It seemed to have been several minutes.

It could also take several hours.

When Lin Zichen opened his eyes again, he found himself in front of a huge palace.

The enormous palace was submerged in water, but there wasn't a single seaweed on the ground or walls, as if it had just been flooded.

"Where exactly is this place?"

With a mix of curiosity and trepidation, Lin Zichen continuously channeled his Mental Power to explore the environment inside the palace.

They searched for quite a while, but found nothing.

The palace seemed to be surrounded by a huge, transparent mesh, blocking his Mental Power from entering.

Just as Lin Zichen was considering whether to enter the palace to find out what was going on—

"Creak--"

A heavy thud sounded as the door opened.

The palace gates opened.

Upon seeing this, Lin Zichen immediately tensed up, prepared to get away as soon as things went wrong.

However, to his surprise, when the palace gates opened, a face he knew best stepped out— Shen Qinghan.

"Hanhan, what are you doing here?"

Lin Zichen could transmit his voice even in the water. He looked at Shen Qinghan in the palace with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why she was there.

Shen Qinghan transmitted her voice through the water in the same way, saying, "I don't know either. I was running on the battlefield when I was suddenly pulled into here."

Were they pulled in?

Lin Zichen felt a chill run down his spine and asked, "Who pulled you in?"

"Have no idea."

Shen Qinghan shook her head and continued, "I was running with Instructor Lan and the others when I suddenly felt water under my feet, and then everything went black and I ended up here."

Is there water under your feet?

Lin Zichen is very sensitive to the word "water".

From birth until now, Shen Qinghan has always been the embodiment of the word "water".

He suspected that Shen Qinghan's presence here might be related to her special physical condition.

Wait, that's not right.

The Little Dirty Girl came here because of her special physical condition.

And what about me?

How did I get to this place?

Seeing Lin Zichen's puzzled expression, Shen Qinghan explained as if she could read his mind, "I'm the one who brought you into this place."

Did that Little Dirty Girl drag me into this?

Lin Zichen was surprised and quickly asked, "How did you do that?"

Shen Qinghan replied, "I can control anything in the palace. I just saw something that looked like a teleportation array, so I tried to teleport you in, and it worked."

These words were spoken casually, but they were incredibly shocking to Lin Zichen.

How could that Little Dirty Girl control this palace?

What is her relationship with this palace?

Was he the master of a palace in his past life?

Does it possess a wisp of the palace's former owner's soul?

Did they inherit the palace's legacy?

For a moment, various possibilities flashed through Lin Zichen's mind, but he was unsure which one it was.

He knew that thinking about it was pointless, so he quickly turned to survey the interior of the palace.

Through the open door, he saw that the palace was very empty, with hardly any furniture, like a newly painted house.

"Lin Zi, come in quickly. Don't stand outside looking around. It's very safe inside the palace."

Seeing Lin Zichen standing motionless outside, only scanning the palace with his eyes, Shen Qinghan, who was at the palace entrance, couldn't help but say something.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen did not hesitate and immediately swam into the palace.

After entering the palace.

Lin Zichen discovered that the environment inside was even more spacious than he had imagined; there was practically nothing there.

It was like an imperial palace where everyone had vanished, eerily empty.

What's special is that the palace walls are covered with murals.

The content of the murals is remarkably consistent.

They were all a group of powerful aquatic creatures, kneeling in worship of a mysterious woman lying inside a seashell.

Could this palace be related to that mysterious Undersea Ruins that the Dean previously studied?

Lin Zichen immediately thought of this.

Thinking it over, he swam toward the wall and carefully examined the content of each mural.

He wanted to find out the identity of the woman in the mural and see if she could be matched with a celestial master from some Mythical stories.

But after looking around for a long time, they still found nothing.

"Lin Zi, swim that way. There's a very strange aquatic plant growing there, and the teleportation array I just mentioned is also there."

Seeing that Lin Zichen had almost finished looking at the murals, Shen Qinghan finally spoke up about this point.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen forgot all about looking at the murals and said to Shen Qinghan, "Take me there."

"Good."

Shen Qinghan responded with a curt, almost taciturn tone.

Soon, their bodies were almost completely elementalized in the water, surging towards a secret chamber ahead.

One of them achieved elementalization through a special physical constitution.

One is through elementalization using [The Water Fusion Fortune].

Each displayed their unique abilities.

Led by Shen Qinghan.

Just a moment later.

Lin Zichen then entered a secret room.

The secret chamber was also quite spacious, but inside there was a teleportation array that glowed with a pale blue light, and a water plant that shimmered with a purple hue.

Lin Zichen's interest in the teleportation array was far less than his interest in the water plants.

The moment the aquatic plants were seen, all eyes were drawn to them.

Because he saw two purplish fruits among the water plants, about the size of a fist, with wisps of purple mist on their skins, looking quite extraordinary.

"Can we pick those two fruits?"

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan beside him and asked.

Although Shen Qinghan may not be the owner of this palace, Shen Qinghan can now control it, so asking her is definitely the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, Shen Qinghan was timid and didn't dare to make a guarantee, simply shaking her head and saying, "I don't know."

Seeing this, Lin Zichen stopped asking questions and instead used a thought to draw the two golden fruits from the mysterious water plant into his hand.

The surface was clearly surrounded by a purple aura.

But the whole fruit looks like a striking and noble Golden Fruit.

I tried to sense the energy contained within the fruit pulp.

That's an exaggeration.

Like a vast ocean, with no end in sight.

If nothing unexpected happens, this must be a rare and precious natural treasure with extremely high evolutionary value, the kind that can cause significant evolution with just one consumption.

I spent some time examining the fruit in my hand.

Lin Zichen handed one of the fruits to Shen Qinghan and said, "Let's each eat one."

"Good."

Shen Qinghan responded.

Then, without saying anything more, the two opened their mouths and put the Golden Fruit in their hands into their mouths.

The fruit melted in their mouths, transforming into wisps of warm, golden liquid that quickly flowed through every part of Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's bodies, nourishing every cell.

At this moment, both Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan could clearly feel their bodies being rapidly strengthened.

The Aperture that originally required impact to open were now opening on their own one after another.

Brain Aperture.

Heart Aperture.

Body Aperture.

Everything is on.

In the blink of an eye, the number of Aperture opened increased several times over.

The strength of Qi and blood in the body and the strength of the spirit have thus experienced an exponential increase.

[Your Biological Rank has successfully evolved from "Advanced Tier 9" to "Rare Tier 1"]

[Your Biological Rank has successfully evolved from "Rare Tier 1" to "Rare Tier 2"]

[Your Biological Rank has successfully evolved from "Rare Tier 2" to "Rare Tier 3"]

Lin Zichen wasn't ready to evolve yet, but notifications kept flashing in the Void indicating that his Biological Rank was breaking through, making him feel dizzy and unreal.

It actually evolved?

And it evolved through three levels in a row!

What kind of rare and precious treasure is that Golden Fruit?

How can the effect be so amazing?

At this moment, Lin Zichen felt the power of the Origin Land for the first time.

The evolutionary resources are outrageous.

Treasures are everywhere.

A hundred years of relentless evolution on Earth might not be as valuable as a chance encounter in the Origin Land.

"Lin Zi, I've evolved to the Rare Tier!"

"And it evolved three levels in a row, reaching the Rare Tier 2!"

"And you, are you like that too?"

Shen Qinghan's pretty face flushed red, and she looked extremely excited, even more so than when she was in bed.

After all, evolving from Advanced Being to Rare Tier of organism represents a qualitative leap.

They truly evolved from amphibious creatures to perfect triangular beings encompassing land, sea, and air.

They gained the ability to fly.

"Yes, I've also evolved three levels, from Advanced Tier 9 to Rare Tier 3."

Lin Zichen said with a relatively calm expression.

But in my heart, I was already incredibly excited and couldn't wait to test my strength.

I calmed myself down a bit.

Lin Zichen turned his gaze to the teleportation array to the side.

He examined it for a moment, then asked Shen Qinghan, "How does this teleportation array work?"

"It's very simple."

Shen Qinghan said with a smile, "Just inject your Mental Power into the teleportation array, and then you can activate the array and select the teleportation location."

Lin Zichen hadn't expected it to be so simple, and said with a hint of anticipation, "Show me."

"Good."

After Shen Qinghan finished speaking, she walked towards the teleportation array, intending to infuse it with her Mental Power and show off her skills to Lin Zichen.

But before she could even walk over...

For some reason, the teleportation array lit up on its own, instantly radiating brilliant light.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan suddenly felt a white light flash before their eyes.

The next second, the two were surprised to find themselves back on the chaotic battlefield between the stable and dangerous zones.

The scene on the battlefield now was completely different from when the two of them left.

Everywhere you look, there are limbs and remains.

Almost all of those who died were Advanced Being.

The ground was covered in blood; it looked horrific.

Shen Qinghan felt nauseous at the sight of the bloody scene before her.

But she quickly adjusted and forced herself to adapt to this blood-soaked meat grinder.

"Hanhan, did you choose to be teleported here?"

Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan and asked.

He hadn't seen Shen Qinghan inject her Mental Power into the teleportation array while they were in the palace chamber; the array had simply lit up on its own.

He had doubts about this.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan belatedly realized what had happened and quickly shook her head, saying, "It wasn't me. I hadn't even had time to channel my Mental Power into the teleportation array yet, so I don't know what happened."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Zichen frowned slightly.

He thought the palace was an unclaimed place, and Shen Qinghan just happened to become its owner.

However, judging from the fact that the teleportation array just started operating on its own, the palace does not seem to be ownerless.

Who just teleported us out?

Were we teleported in there just to feed us those two Golden Fruits and help us evolve?

Who exactly is this person?

Several questions arose in Lin Zichen's mind.

Before he could figure it out, enemies quickly set their sights on him and Shen Qinghan on the ever-changing battlefield.

"Boy, so you've been here all along. Looks like the Flower Fairy's reward is mine!"

A thick black mist flew in from ahead, and as it flew in, a sound carrying a hint of annihilation echoed from within it.

The Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction have arrived!

Lin Zichen's expression was solemn.

He could sense that the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction who was attacking him was not as strong as himself.

However, the words spoken by this Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction lingered in his mind.

A gift from the Flower Fairy?

What's the meaning?

Am I being wanted by the Sun-Moon Sacred Land?
