Chapter 817: Chapter 818: Preparing to Set Out
Within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute on the Trial Star, lies the Sacred Institute City.
The Sacred Institute City is the place where the Sea Spiral Holy Institute operates on the Trial Star. For example, exchanging your mark for desired items or taking on tasks from the Sea Spiral Holy Institute can all be done here.
At the very center of the Sacred Institute City stands a magnificent tavern called the Saint Institute Building, which is also an establishment run by the Sea Spiral Holy Institute.
Inside, you can find delicacies from all over the Sea Spiral Star Domain, and even famous dishes and wines from other star domains.
In this tavern, transactions are naturally made using the marks of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute.
At the entrance of the tavern, Lin Qian and Ye Xin walked in hand in hand. Under the guidance of a waiter, they went to a private room at the top of the tavern.
Sitting inside the private room were naturally Lin Qianâs in-laws, Ye Nanxin and Lan Fenger.
This time, it was Mother-in-law Lan Fenger who footed the bill, hosting a family gathering.
After entering the private room, Lan Fenger spoke directly, âI really didnât expect that you two would cause such a stir. Even within the Inner Court, the name of your Huaxia Alliance is well known.â
After sitting down, Lin Qian also showed a look of surprise in his eyes, âWhat? Even the Inner Court has been stirred up?â
Seeing Lin Qianâs surprised look, Lan Fenger nodded with a smile and gazed at her son-in-law with satisfaction, âNormally, when new students enter the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, it does not cause even the slightest ripple within the Inner Court.â
Lin Qian had already understood this long ago.
New students at the Sea Spiral Holy Institute, children of heaven?
Within that Inner Court, who wasnât once a prodigy, and as students of the Inner Court, they already exist in a different realm.
The talents within the Inner Court are plentiful as the stars in the sky.
Just like Lan Fenger, who directly entered the Inner Court back then, with exceptional talent!
In fact, what used to make the students in the Inner Court notice the entry of new students into the Sea Spiral Holy Institute was only the Overlord Hall.
After all, there were quite a few in the Inner Court who were once members of the Overlord Alliance and now remain attentive and surprised at the fact that the Overlord Alliance maintained their status after entering the Saint Institute.
This time, the Huaxia Alliance being noticed even within the Inner Court is naturally due to that shocking move.
A force made up entirely of ten thousand new students of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute was formed right when they entered the Institute.
The entire formation of new students into a force was simply unheard of, unseen before, and naturally, it shocked others.
Moreover, the force composed of all the new students chose the Trial Star, the worst place of all, which was even more unbelievable.
The combination of these two points naturally drew everyoneâs attention.
âBesides, even the Outer Court is abuzz. I heard the Overlord Hall is quite targeting you, right? They even tampered with your fixed assessment.â Lan Fenger looked at Lin Qian and Ye Xin with some helplessness in her tone.
Ye Xin, smiling as she held her motherâs hand, said softly, âMother, since thatâs the case, why donât you help us? You are a student of the Inner Court, and the Overlord Hall would definitely fear you.â
Regarding this, Lan Fenger also shook her head helplessly, âIf Mother were to intervene, then others in the Inner Court would definitely step in as well. By then, the situation in the Inner Court would become even more chaotic, and instead of helping you, it might actually harm you.â
âSo, thereâs an unspoken rule among students that Inner Court students do not intervene in Outer Court affairs or interfere in any matters of the Outer Court.â
âThis difficult situation this time might have to be solved by yourselves, but Mother also believes that youâre certainly capable of resolving it well. After all, Mother is far inferior when it comes to your skills.â
Lan Fengerâs words came from the bottom of her heart.
The mystery surrounding her son-in-law needs no explanation, in her eyes, he is essentially a little monster.
Now, others are still unaware of his abilities, especially the Overlord Hall. Lan Fenger believes that if the Overlord Hall knew that Lin Qian bore the signs of the Human Ancestor, they wouldnât be so dead set against him.
Similarly, her daughterâs performance was also beyond her expectations.
Donât be fooled by her gentle demeanor now, if it involves matters concerning Lin Qian, she becomes steely and decisive.
When her daughter works from her position as the Empress of the Huaxia Empire, her lofty demeanor can hardly be faced even by her own mother.
Lan Fenger is confident that together, this young couple is sure to stir up a storm within the Sea Spiral Holy Institute.
The Huaxia Alliance choosing the Trial Star, Lan Fenger also believes that there must be some secret in it. She refuses to believe that her son-in-law truly followed othersâ words and became brain-dead.
However, Lan Fenger finds it peculiar that on the Trial Star, it seems no different from the past.
But what she doesnât know is the brilliance of the array setup by Lin Qianâs advisor, Zhuge Ming, which was so advanced that after Liu Shimin learned the truth, he fainted excitedly like a maniac.
Absorbing the spiritual energy of the entire Trial Star and converging it in the Trial Land is considered one of Lin Qian and his groupâs trump cards. If someone with intentions discovers it and attacks them to seize it when they arenât fully developed, it would be a loss.
Therefore, aside from setting up the Spirit Gathering Array, Zhuge Ming also set up an Illusion Array.
This Illusion Array envelops the entire Trial Star, and those outside the Trial Land will be influenced by it, creating an illusion about the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
In their eyes, the concentration of spiritual energy hasnât changed and remains the same as before.
This array was so advanced that it even misleads oneâs feelings during cultivation and combat.
Such brilliant array setup skills naturally drove Liu Shimin nearly crazy. What an honor it would be to learn from such a terrifying master of array arts!
After this small gathering, Lin Qian also understood that the Inner Court students wouldnât interfere and would even ignore disputes in the Outer Court.
This way, Lin Qian didnât have to worry about the Overlord Hall inviting Inner Court students to help them when fighting against him.
However, this means that the Inner Court students of the Fierce Hunting Clan wonât be able to help them. Only the old students of the Fierce Hunting Clan still in the Outer Court could serve as an extra aid.
Time flew by, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The day for the fixed assessment was about to start, and the Void passages around the Sea Spiral Holy Institute instantly became much more crowded, countless Void Ships carrying students of the Sea Spiral Holy Institute headed toward the assessment destination.
As for Lin Qianâs side, preparations for departure were underway.
However, everyone in the Huaxia Alliance was dumbstruck and speechless as they looked at the Void Ship Lin Qian had prepared up in the air.
