Chen Xuan Breaks Through to the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm, Little Marten Loses His Cool

After settling on a plan.

Lin Dong swallowed several pills, quickly recovering some of his strength.

After moving around a little,

he impatiently took several blades and swords from his Cosmos Sack

and began to act.

Before long, the sound of digging soil came from within the Mist Forest.

Little Marten said, "Lin Dong, a little more to the left!"

Lin Dong said, "Okay!"

Little Marten said, "Too far. A little more to the right."

Lin Dong said, "Got it."

Little Marten said, "Crooked, crooked."

Lin Dong said, "..."

"Yes, yes, yes, that angle! Dig!"

Little Marten turned into a site supervisor,

directing him from above.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong became an expert burrower.

Bent over below, he dug away at the tunnel,

until he was drenched in sweat.

At first, they had been afraid of attracting the Mist Crocodile Leopard King's attention.

Later, they discovered that it seemed to be asleep. It had not noticed them and did not come to interfere.

So they became bolder.

Fortunately, Lin Dong was at the Great Perfection of Yuan Dan Realm.

He dug very quickly.

Before long, under Little Marten's guidance,

he successfully dug out a tunnel.

Lin Dong stood at the other end of the tunnel,

overjoyed.

He shouted, "Little Marten, Little Flame, come over! I did it!"

Roar!

Little Flame let out a low roar and was the first to leap into the tunnel.

Seeing this, Little Marten laughed and cursed, "You stupid tiger, I should've gone first!"

However, when they arrived at the other end,

Little Marten froze on the spot.

Because he discovered that there was another Bewilderment Array outside!

Lin Dong could not tell. "What's wrong?"

Little Marten's expression turned grave. "Lin Dong, I think we've run into huge trouble!"

"What do you mean?"

"There are still quite a few Bewilderment Arrays here. We've just escaped the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair."

"..." Lin Dong felt as though he had been struck by lightning.

He froze as well.

So I spent all that time digging the tunnel for nothing?

I just crawled out of one prison cell

and into another?

No wonder the Mist Crocodile Leopard King had not stopped them.

So that was the reason!

Little Marten muttered, "And Marten Lord can tell that this person's attainments in formations are extremely high."

Lin Dong paused, then asked, "Can we keep digging?"

"It won't work. There are probably dozens of formations outside!" Little Marten shook his head dejectedly.

With so many formations, where could they dig?

And how long would it take?

Lin Dong was stunned, his eyes widening. "What? That many?"

Little Marten nodded helplessly. "Yes. The key is that these formations are very powerful. Even I have no way to break them, and even..."

He trailed off.

Lin Dong pressed, "Even what?"

"I can even sense that the strength of these formations is far more exquisite than those set up by that old fellow in the Tianyan Mountain Range!"

"Huh? Then what do we do?"

"Sigh, I can only give it my all and try."

After all these years,

this was the first time Little Marten had felt so powerless.

What they did not know

was that at this moment,

Chen Xuan was watching them from overhead with malicious amusement.

System notifications kept sounding by his ear.

Ding. Lin Dong experienced overwhelming joy. Emotion points +100.

Ding. Lin Dong experienced frustration. Emotion points +100.

Ding. Little Marten experienced shock. Emotion points +100.

Ding. Little Marten experienced...

In just this short while,

he had gained over a thousand emotion points.

This was all because of the dozens of Bewilderment Arrays

that had driven Little Marten to despair.

He had personally set all of them up.

He had also bought those Bewilderment Arrays from the system.

Altogether, they had not cost him even two thousand emotion points.

Trapping them was no difficult task.

In fact, he had already heard Little Marten's suggestion to Lin Dong.

Dig a tunnel to break the formation!

That was why he had not gone out to stop them.

He had even had the Mist Crocodile Leopard King pretend to be asleep and not interrupt them.

He let Lin Dong first develop hope,

then showed him the despair he had prepared for him!

Mm, this was very interesting!

The game had only just begun. Chen Xuan had plenty more ways to torment him.

Of course, some people would surely say

that this had nothing to do with Lin Dong, and that the Tomb Master was the one to blame.

But to Chen Xuan,

if he had done it, then he was in the wrong!

There was no other reason to discuss!

Besides, this was a fantasy world where the strong ruled!

Whoever had the bigger fist had the final say!

And at this moment,

Chen Xuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have touched the barrier of the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm. A breakthrough was imminent.

Thus,

he immediately sat cross-legged in midair.

He took out the Nirvana Pills he had prepared long ago

and began preparing to break through!

He also wanted to continue taking Nirvana Divine Pills.

Unfortunately, a person could only take one such pill in their lifetime.

Taking more would be like eating candy.

They would have no effect.

In the sky,

the Nirvana Pills turned into Nirvana Qi, gathering into a river as they surged into Chen Xuan's body.

Chen Xuan's body gradually turned crimson.

His aura also rose steadily throughout the process.

He drew closer and closer to the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm!

Boom!

A brilliant golden light shot explosively from Chen Xuan's body.

An astonishing wave of aura

instantly swept outward.

The moment this scene appeared,

below,

the gloomy Little Marten's fur suddenly stood on end.

His Demon Spirit Body swiftly searched the surroundings. "Not good, there's a Nirvana Realm expert nearby!"

"Little Marten, could you be too tired lately? Maybe you sensed it wrong?"

Lin Dong tried sensing the area, but he did not detect anything.

"No, that's absolutely impossible! This aura definitely belongs to a Nirvana Realm expert, and not an ordinary one at that!"

Little Marten shook his head, vigilantly searching in all directions.

"Huh? There are ordinary and extraordinary Nirvana Realm experts?"

Lin Dong's face was full of surprise.

It was clearly the first time he had heard of such a distinction.

"This mist blocks spiritual power. Even so, I can still sense a powerful aura. Think about it—how powerful does the other party have to be to achieve that?"

Little Marten's expression was solemn.

In his view, one had to be at least in the Two Yuan Nirvana Realm to possess such a terrifying aura!

But...

even if it was only a Two Yuan Nirvana Realm expert,

they had no way to deal with one!

Yet Lin Dong did not see it that way. "If what you said is true, doesn't that mean we're saved?"

Saved?

What did he mean?

Wait!

Don't tell me...

He wants to ask this mysterious Nirvana Realm expert to break the formation?

Why would they do that?

Little Marten hurriedly stopped him. "No, what if this person is the one trying to mess with us?"

A Nirvana Realm expert messing with them?

Why?

They had no grudges against each other. It made no sense!

And Lin Dong had never offended him either!

Lin Dong smiled and shook his head, feeling that it was impossible.

But Little Marten still felt that something was wrong.

He even wondered whether it could be an enemy from long ago, coming after him.

If that were true,

they would be in serious trouble!

While he was distracted, Lin Dong had already climbed the nearest tree and loudly called for help.

"Senior, this junior Lin Dong has been trapped here for a long time. I beg Senior to lend a hand!"

"Lin Dong! Shut up!"

Little Marten hurriedly shouted.

The moment he finished speaking.

A rumbling roar sounded from within the forest!

Lin Dong asked in surprise, "What was that?"

Little Marten was about to explode with anger. "Damn it, your stupid move just now attracted even more demonic beasts!"
