Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2382: Chapter 2383: Anomaly

After a moment, only Chen Lin and Lin Wan’er remained, along with Meng Shan. Since they were both women, it was much more convenient for them to stay here, so they did not leave.

Lin Chen was heading back to where he initially lived, which was the place he stayed when he first arrived at the Green Ripple Sect.

Originally, Lin Chen moved due to the slaughter of too many Azure Dragon members, fearing they’d cause trouble again, so he relocated to Chen Jie’s residence.

Now, Lin Chen was free from such worries.

Because earlier, Lin Chen’s brutal actions turned this place into a forbidden territory; no one dared to enter or leave freely, even in Lin Chen’s absence.

Lin Chen pushed open the door. The deep red hues in the courtyard had long dissipated, whether cleaned or faded due to time, leaving only scattered bloodstains around the house corners, appearing somewhat mottled.

Upon entering, Lin Chen felt a bit wistful. Though he hadn’t been gone long, returning now gave him a different feeling.

Perhaps this was due to the many events he encountered recently.

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Lin Chen didn’t rest but instead closed his eyes lightly, entering into a state of cultivation. He was diligent, not wanting to waste a single moment.

As his consciousness descended, Lin Chen first glanced at his own sea of consciousness. In there seemed nothing unusual, just an expanse of deep black, within which a black silhouette resided—an entity completely formed by Evil Qi resembling Lin Chen.

This entity sat there, with no response as Lin Chen attempted to control his consciousness to approach. It was like a dead thing, quietly seated.

Though occupying Lin Chen’s sea of consciousness, Lin Chen apparently couldn’t do anything about it. No matter how Lin Chen tried to probe, it remained unmoved.

This left Lin Chen quite vexed. After testing yet again in vain, Lin Chen sighed heavily, appearing very melancholic.

The place where this thing resided was in Lin Chen’s own sea of consciousness, and Lin Chen dared not be too reckless. If he succeeded in expelling it, that’d be fine; otherwise, if this thing were to cause chaos in his consciousness, Lin Chen would be the one to suffer.

Sigh.

After a deep sigh, Lin Chen had no choice but to leave it alone. Although earlier Lin Chen’s body entirely blackened seemed to be caused by this thing, it was now different; it was motionless, leaving Lin Chen at a loss for action.

With a light sigh, Lin Chen then focused his consciousness into his Dantian, where anomalies similar to those in his sea of consciousness previously existed.

With these anomalies, Lin Chen’s strength surged, rapidly granting him the power to compete against formidable fighters in a brief time.

But this condition didn’t last long; after using that attack, it suddenly changed.

His escalating strength suddenly diminished, reverting to its original state.

Although the vast fluctuations in strength left Lin Chen somewhat disheartened, he knew it wasn’t power he cultivated himself, but had returned to normal.

Now, as he observed his sea of consciousness again, Lin Chen was taken aback.

”What a damned thing!”

Lin Chen cursed lightly, despite his steady temperament, he couldn’t help swearing.

This was because inside Lin Chen’s Dantian, it was suddenly divided into two paths, separated by a long thread where Spiritual Energy and Evil Qi merged.

Acting like a barrier, it split Lin Chen’s Dantian into halves; on one side, the Spiritual Energy he cultivated, on the other, the inexplicably arrived black Evil Qi from a prior battlefield.

The round beads formed by the Spiritual Energy on the left side were small as fingernails, arranged irregularly, numbering three. Above them, silky strands of Spiritual Energy continuously flowed.

On the other side was an extremely dense Yin Evil forming round beads, opposite to the left—the black beads contained no aura, merely pitch-black without any feel, seemingly as ordinary as glass beads. However, there were quite a few, numbering nine.

Yet, as Lin Chen forcibly infused a trace of Spiritual Energy into them, suddenly, all the black beads stood alert.

They resembled hungry wolves not having seen food for ages, rapidly devouring all the Spiritual Energy Lin Chen injected upon seeing it enter.

Even more terrifying was that these entities not only devoured Lin Chen’s Spiritual Energy, but attempted to climb up along the spiritual thread drawn from Lin Chen.

This greatly frightened Lin Chen, and he dared not continue probing, hastily withdrawing the Spiritual Energy, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead. Clearly, he didn’t anticipate the item’s unpredictable and varied nature—at merely a slight probe, it reacted so violently, frantically trying to absorb these elements.

”It seems that the power within the Dantian is unified with the previous anomaly?”

Lin Chen pondered. Since slaying the anomaly after its last few words, Lin Chen’s body experienced such changes.

But the final words heard from that anomaly were unclear—only capturing the word ”King”.

Beyond that, Lin Chen heard nothing else, leaving him puzzled.

However, everything now pointed towards that anomaly, causing Lin Chen much distress. With it dead, Lin Chen couldn’t retrieve it for questioning, as it simply wasn’t feasible.

The most likely resolution was to find a disciple from a demon sect to inquire further, but considering Lu Kang’s prior actions and words, he seemed unaware of Lin Chen’s situation; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so troubled.

”Forget it, I’ll have to see if there’s a chance later.”

Lin Chen sighed deeply, unwilling, but helpless. Since no answer could be found, rather than fretting, it was better spent cultivating—it was much better.

He exhaled softly, then collected his restless mind and gradually returned to calmness, setting aside miscellaneous thoughts, and began to cultivate slowly.
