122: The whole family ascended to heaven

"Sect Master, do you mean... you want to relocate the entire Wending Sect to Lingxuan Heaven?"

After hearing Lin Chen's words, everyone's mouths hung open in disbelief.

Setting aside the fact that no one had ever been to Lingxuan Heaven and didn't know what it was like or what powers were there... just the question of how to relocate the Wending Sect was an absolute conundrum.

If it were just people moving, that would be one thing, but to relocate the entire Sect was nothing short of a fantasy.

"Sect Master..."

"The Wending Sect spans a radius of a hundred thousand miles, with countless immortal mountains, palaces, buildings, and Top-grade Spiritual Veins scattered throughout, not to mention the heaven-reaching pagoda, the great dao spacetime pagoda, the Dao Enlightenment Immortal Stele, the mortal transformation pool, and the Myriad Laws Secret Realm..."

"With so much property, how are we supposed to move it all?"

Chu Nansheng frowned, voicing the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"This Sect Master has his ways."

Lin Chen chuckled. "Just make sure everyone in the Wending Sect is mentally prepared. In three days, the entire Sect ascends!"

...Three days later.

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless for ten thousand miles.

Everyone stood in readiness, looking up at the figure in the high sky who appeared as ethereal as an immortal.

[Ding!]

[Are you sure you want to use the 'Myriad Worlds Translocation Grand Array'?]

Over the past thirty-plus years, some small and medium-sized forces had still occasionally pledged allegiance to the Wending Sect.

Lin Chen turned no one away, and only then did he manage to save up over a million sect prestige points.

And he had exchanged that sect prestige points for this grand array, all for this very moment.

"Confirm use."

Lin Chen did not hesitate.

[The target of use is the Wending Sect, to be migrated to Lingxuan Heaven. Confirm?]

"Confirm!"

Lin Chen nodded once more.

[Migration in progress, please wait...]

In an instant, streaks of golden light rose from the edges of the Wending Sect's territory.

Above the firmament, a profound array diagram appeared, large enough to cover the sky and blot out the sun. The array diagram rotated slowly, shedding immeasurable radiance that completely enveloped the mountains, rivers, palaces, and pavilions. Ripples appeared in space, and it felt as if the entire Sect was being peeled away from the current world.

"Disciples, hear my command!"

Lin Chen's calm voice echoed throughout the Sect. "Concentrate your minds and steady your breath, hold your positions, and follow this seat... as we ascend to Lingxuan Heaven!"

Hearing this, everyone held their breath and focused, not daring to make a single move.

"Just how many great Divine Abilities does the Sect Master have that he hasn't used yet?"

Although Old Ancestor Li Tiangang had already broken through to the Early Earth Immortal Stage, he felt like a raw recruit in front of Lin Chen. The Sect Master was like an abyss that one could never see through.

Lin Chen took a step forward, his robes fluttering, and slashed a sword down toward the void.

"Open!"

Where the sword light passed, a heavenly gate was torn directly into the void.

Behind the heavenly gate was a starlit passage, and from the other end came chaotic fluctuations of Law.

It was precisely the Turbulent Star Domain.

"Shift!"

Lin Chen gave a low shout.

The profound array diagram burst with light, and enveloping the massive Wending Sect, it turned into a golden streak of light and plunged headlong into the heavenly gate, disappearing.

In its original place, only a gargantuan basin remained, its depth unfathomable... Lingxuan Heaven, Canglan Continent, Endless Wasteland.

The Spiritual Qi here was extremely thin. For countless years, no Sect had ever taken an interest in this place, so it was uninhabited.

Only the howling winds remained.

Suddenly, the sky rippled like water, and a golden streak of light tore through the firmament, slowly descending.

"Let's choose this place."

Although they had reached Lingxuan Heaven, everything was still unknown.

This was the Upper Realm, after all, and there would surely be many incredibly powerful forces. If they rashly made their home in a prosperous area, they might inadvertently infringe upon someone else's interests, which wouldn't be a good thing for the current Wending Sect.

For the early stages, it was better to keep a low profile and develop.

With a thought from Lin Chen, the Wending Sect, wrapped in golden light, slowly landed upon the Endless Wasteland.

Rumble—!

The massive Wending Sect took deep root in the Endless Wasteland.

The Endless Wasteland was truly too large. Even though the Wending Sect was big enough to occupy a radius of a hundred thousand miles, looking down from high in the sky, it was merely a small black dot. Without looking closely, it was difficult to even notice.

"Is this... Lingxuan Heaven?"

Once the dust and smoke cleared, all the Disciples and Elders walked out one after another and began to survey this strange new world.

"Why is the Spiritual Qi in this Upper Realm... so thin?"

"While it's quite a bit stronger than many places in the Cangxuan Realm, it's a far cry from inside the Wending Sect!"

"Exactly!"

"I thought the Upper Realm would be so great, but I didn't expect it to be so desolate!"

"Senior Brother, I want to go home..."

"Where are you going back to?! This is your home!"

"Wherever the Wending Sect is, that is where your home is!"

"Oh, oh, I misspoke!"

"..."

The Disciples were chattering away, and it seemed most were not very satisfied with Lingxuan Heaven.

Lin Chen acted as if he hadn't heard them.

At this moment, the System's notification sound rang out—

[Ding!]

[The Wending Sect has successfully migrated to Lingxuan Heaven!]

[Thank you for using this System. I wish you a happy life!]

"..."

Lin Chen was speechless. Since when did this damn System become so polite?

He wasn't quite used to it.

However, he didn't have time to care about such details right now; he still had a lot of information he needed to get from the System.

"System, tell me about the situation here."

[This information requires a payment of 100,000 sect prestige points. Exchange?]

Damn, the System is still the same as always.

It won't take a loss at all!

"Exchange, exchange, exchange!"

Lin Chen replied irritably.

[Ding!]

[Exchange successful!]

[The current coordinates of the Wending Sect are: Lingxuan Lower Heaven, Qinggu Heaven Domain, Canglan Continent, Endless Wasteland]

[Lingxuan Heaven is divided into Upper and Lower Heavens. The Lower Heaven has Twelve Heavenly Domains]

[The Qinggu Heaven Domain, where the Wending Sect is located, has six great continents. Setting aside the vastness of the Heaven Domain, the Canglan Continent where the Host is located alone is vast and boundless, its area more than ten times that of the Cangxuan Realm, with many Sects and countless experts]

..."One last question. What level of Sect is the Wending Sect considered in the Canglan Continent?"

After getting a general understanding of the situation in Lingxuan Heaven, Lin Chen asked the question he was most concerned about.

[This question exceeds the scope of the inquiry and requires an additional payment of 100,000 sect prestige points]

"..."

If the System were standing in front of Lin Chen right now, it would definitely be given a sound thrashing.

"Forget it, I won't ask."

It wasn't that Lin Chen wanted to save this bit of prestige value, but... he only had over twenty thousand left, which really wasn't enough.

But it didn't matter.

With the Xuanji Hall around, finding out about the situation in the Canglan Continent wouldn't be difficult; it would just take a bit more time.

Immediately after, Lin Chen gathered the core high-level members of the Wending Sect in the Discussion Hall.

After giving a brief introduction of the general situation in Lingxuan Heaven, Lin Chen said:

"Yu Xuanji, make arrangements to send out all our intelligence personnel—Thousand Faces, Listening Wind, Heavenly Secret, Hidden Star, and Messenger—to investigate the distribution of power, resources, and local customs in the Canglan Continent..."

"I want to have the situation of the Canglan Continent at my fingertips within three months."

"Understood."

"..."

"Old Ancestor, you will lead the effort, joining all the Great Emperor Realms of the Wending Sect, to use the chaos great dao bell as the core and comprehensively upgrade the Sect Protecting Grand Array. It must be able to withstand at least a full-strength blow from a True Immortal Realm expert. Of course... if it can exert even greater power, that would be even better!"

"Understood!"

"..."

"Chu Nansheng, urge all Disciples and Elders to Cultivate diligently. Now that we've come to Lingxuan Heaven, if the Wending Sect doesn't have enough strength, we won't be able to establish a foothold here!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

"..."

"Xu Zhishan..."

"Ling Wuying..."

"Yue Shan..."

"Gu Qingtian..."

"..."

"Little Black, you... guard the mountain gate. Not even a fly is allowed in!"

"Woof woof woof!"

...Everyone took their orders and left.

Once everything was arranged, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Standing alone outside the hall, he looked down at this new territory belonging to the Wending Sect.

He knew that the Wending Sect was an outsider, and in any place, outsiders were never welcomed. Peaceful days would not last long. The winds and clouds of Lingxuan Heaven would surely surge because of the arrival of the Wending Sect.

And he needed to be prepared in advance.
