Inside, the cave began to emit a bright green light that illuminated the cave. Outside the cave hole, the cave circle glows brightly, illuminating the pine forest.
The surroundings showed trees and roots starting to spread everywhere. This time the elements contained natural elements so that the surroundings would follow Qin Chen's rhythm.
3 Days Later.
Around Qin Chen was already covered in many difficult roots to destroy. Even Yu-Lin tried his best to destroy the roots surrounding Qin Chen with his abilities. However, the outcome failed because it couldn't fight the roots so strongly.
Qin Chen had already 3 Days of refining his Wood Element. When he suddenly opened his eyes, the roots started crumbling.
Cracks!
Boom!
Roots started to fall, showing Qin Chen sitting with a relaxed look. What was originally Qin Chen's look like a stern person, now his gaze turned a bit more relaxed and calm?
"Wood element. It's perfect, and then I have the 2 elements of heaven and earth!" Qin Chen said as he clenched his fists.
He slowly got up from the top of the rock filled with natural roots, and Qin Chen saw that a lot had happened around him and that the two people were outside the cave because they couldn't go inside.
He quickly shattered the roots blocking his path and then walked out of the cave to meet Ru'er, Qin Chen's blade slashing through everything that stood in his way from inside the cave.
After a few minutes, they finally saw the cracks of the roots from the outside, shocking them. Suddenly there was an explosion in the cave.
Bomb!
The roots shattered into pieces with a mist shrouding their vision. Before long, the fog dissipated, and Qin Chen was seen standing with a sword in his right hand.
"Older brother!" shouted Ru'er, who immediately ran to where Qin Chen was.
He heard that he also smiled and hugged Ru'er gently. "Ru'er thought, big brother will be buried by those roots," Ru'er said softly as she hugged Qin Chen.
"So that's how it is," Qin Chen replied.
He picked up his younger sister and walked towards the capital with Yu Lin. After that, she continued to see Qin Chen's drastic changes from his demeanour to his body shape.
Their journey was uninterrupted until they exited the Pine forest. Although the legend of the pine forest was terrible, according to Qin Chen, everything was Luck.
They strolled through the dirt path while Qin Chen chatted with Yu Lin to ask for any information or things he didn't know about this World. However, Qin Chen asked him with the excuse that he had just left his City.
"This world has several professions such as Alchemist, Array Master and Poison Master. They are all highly respected and respected by cultivators. Even though Alchemists do not have a high cultivation base, they are still great people because the Alchemist profession is challenging, and the Alchemist Masters in the world can be counted on the fingers. Like the Master Array, they are also very good at using Arrays. For example, when you are in Meigui City, there are several Master Arrays to close and open the Monster Dimension portal doors. As for Poison Masters, they dabble in the dark world to get what they want. And there is a possibility that what you are looking for is related to the Master Array that has troubled many cultivators in the central continent," Yu Lin said.
Hearing Yu Lin's explanation about some of the very great professions within the Cultivator World, Qin Chen gave a small nod. He walked while thinking about the Poison Master, which intrigued him a little.
Poison Master? Was he the one who made the blood curse? Or is he also that Blood Devil!
His unclear thinking made him want to keep the Master Array as a blood demon existence. And if it's wrong, Qin Chen will search for the Blood Devil until he finds it. Qin Chen's promises he will keep saving Xia Lingyi's mother.
At first, their journey was very calm, until a strange thing happened to Qin Chen. He, who was strolling while chatting, suddenly had tears. Seeing Qin Chen suddenly shedding tears made them both confused.
He raised a trembling hand to touch his tear-stained face. "W-why am I sad?" Qin Chen said he didn't know anything about him being sad.
Deg!
His heartbeat was beating so fast that he felt something big was happening. He stopped there, holding his body tightly in his heart.
"Bro! What's wrong with you?" Ru'er said, asking about Qin Chen's condition.
Not responding to his sister's question, he sensed something had happened to his family in Xilinan City. "Did something happen to my family? It makes my heart skip a beat," said Qin Chen.
"Is Mom okay? Why does my heart hurt when I think of mother?" He said, holding back pain.
Xilinan City.
A few hours ago, thousands of people from the eastern empire came to attack Xilinan City. They attacked Xilinan City to make Qin Chen submit to be the pet of the eastern empire.
His ambition made him gather sects and big families to join forces to subdue Qin Chen. The Eastern Emperor thought that if he fought Qin Chen alone, he might lose, but if he fought with tens of thousands of high-cultivating troops, he would win.
The Eastern Emperor massacred the people of Xilinan City as his warning, and he also took Qin Chen's mother as a hostage. Whereas the Qin Clan took heavy damage with many fatalities.
His father, who was in the Martial King Realm, had heavy injuries all over his body, which he probably couldn't last much longer than a day.
The Empire had done the wrong thing because Qin Chen's feelings for protecting his family were powerful. He will do anything to protect his family, even if he must fight thousands of gods.
Qin residence.
Many people were so badly injured inside the residence that many died. They were all fighting to defend the Qin family from the attacks of the arrogant Emperor.
Near a large rock was seen a man leaning on his body. The man was his father.
He looked up at the sky with a sad look and also endured the pain. "Chen'er, If you come back and see that father isn't there… urghh… S-save your mother…." He said quietly as he looked up at the sky.
Back where Qin Chen was, he was now standing looking at the same sky as his father.
"I'm going back to the city where I live, and I feel something happened to my family," Qin Chen said as he prepared to return.
Ru'er heard that was surprised, but she wanted to follow her brother back, so she went with Qin Chen. Yu Lin, who heard she was coming back, couldn't help but come along for some reason.
"Then, I will follow you to your city," she said with a little respect.
