Among the crowd, Wang Shuo harbored the least animosity towards Lin Chen, so there was no real need to fight to the death with him here. He was still considering going elsewhere to seek opportunities.
"At most, we'll wait half a month more. If there's no movement from that guy after half a month, we'll leave," Yun Kaige said calmly. Deep down, he was still unwilling to just let Lin Chen off the hook, even if he was already somewhat impatient to wait any longer, he decided to wait another half a month.
They entered these Ancient Ruins in the first place to find opportunities, but ended up clashing with Lin Chen, being trapped here for so long. Killing Lin Chen was important, but seeking opportunities was even more crucial.
He didn't want to waste his time looking for opportunities just to kill Lin Chen.
This time, many people entered these ruins, encompassing various forces, including people from the Dark Dynasty, totaling hundreds of thousands. If he continued to linger here, he feared those opportunities would be snatched by others first.
If he missed those opportunities because of waiting here to ambush Lin Chen, Yun Kaige would be full of regret.
But at this moment, Yun Kaige was unwilling to just let Lin Chen go.
Moreover, Yun Kaige was also puzzled about what that bastard Lin Chen was doing hiding on that island.
Besides the Yang Flame Divine Fire and Flame Crystal Stone, there were no other opportunities on that island. Why did Lin Chen keep staying on it without leaving?
To be honest, Wang Shuo's guess was quite accurate. Relying on the Abyssal Eye, Lin Chen was indeed aware of their every move.
In fact, even without Yun Kaige and Black Yan Hall's ambush, Lin Chen wouldn't leave this Flame Island so soon.
After all, beneath the Fire Sea, there were still many Flame Crystal Stones waiting for him to collect.
He could make about forty million low-grade Spirit Crystals in one day, and such a lucrative opportunity couldn't be found elsewhere.
After glancing a few times at Yun Kaige and the people from Black Yan Hall with his Abyssal Eye, Lin Chen no longer paid attention to them. Since these guys liked to ambush, he might as well let them continue, as Lin Chen had no plan to leave the island in the short term.
Then, Lin Chen leapt into the air and once again entered the Fire Sea below.
Passing through the Fire Sea, Lin Chen returned to the cave mansion previously established by Fiery Fire Venerable.
The area before him was isolated by formations, with the lower Fire Sea providing defense, making it virtually inaccessible to ordinary Martial Artists—an excellent sanctuary.
This cave mansion was likely beyond the reach of ordinary Creation Realm experts. After some thought, Lin Chen secretly considered making it his base.
Previously, when exploring these ruins, especially after learning about the dangers of this world from Dragon Fang, Lin Chen didn't want to linger, eager to leave.
However, now that he had some confidence, should danger arise, Lin Chen could lock onto the aura of this place and use the Qiankun Escape Talisman to teleport here directly.
With this plan in mind, Lin Chen decided to build this island into an absolutely secure defensive site.
Only when this place was unbelievably sturdy, would Lin Chen have no worries, fully treating it as his base.
Of course, Lin Chen had another plan, which was to use this place as a teleportation point, allowing him to travel between the Mysterious Heaven Continent and here at any time.
Once he established a Teleportation Array, even if Lin Chen encountered danger and the island couldn't resist powerful enemies, he could still leave via the Teleportation Array.
Additionally, after Lin Chen established the Teleportation Array, he could also bring Jade Cauldron Sect's Martial Artists here for training.
In this Tianliu Continent, Lin Chen could still sense the Second Soul Division, indicating that the distance between this world and the Mysterious Heaven Continent wasn't as exaggerated as the previous Void Continent, which cut off contact with the Second Soul Division entirely.
Nevertheless, judging from the delay in perception, Lin Chen could assert that the distance from this world to the Mysterious Heaven Continent was roughly four to five times that from the Mysterious Heaven Continent to the Huangyu Continent.
Thus, Lin Chen needed countless materials to build a Teleportation Array connecting to the Mysterious Heaven Continent here.
Apart from materials, the energy required for each transmission was also enormous. However, this wasn't a problem, as the island was beneath a Fire Sea, and the energy from the Fire Sea was inexhaustible, fully capable of supporting transmission.
Yet, with the materials he currently had, Lin Chen couldn't establish a Teleportation Array, but he wasn't worried about this. After all, this world was deeper than the Mysterious Heaven Continent, and Lin Chen would eventually gather the materials needed in this world.
Thus resolved, Lin Chen instantly flew into the air, soared out of the Fire Sea Magma, produced a Spatial Spirit Stone, and probed within with his Soul Power to start looking for this world's spatial nodes.
As Lin Chen infused Soul Power and Spiritual Power into the Space Crystal Stone in hand, it immediately emitted a wondrous spatial power, quickly connecting with this world. Suddenly, a multitude of lights appeared near the Space Crystal Stone, eventually converging into it. Not only did Lin Chen find the spatial node with the Space Crystal Stone, but he also had the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron record it, subsequently producing a Space Star Map within it.
"Seems my luck isn't too bad. One of this world's spatial nodes is near this Fire Sea island, saving me time to search for spatial nodes," Lin Chen said with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
After recording the spatial nodes, Lin Chen put away the Space Crystal Stone. The nodes were inscribed inside, so for the time being, it couldn't be used for teleportation.
Moreover, Lin Chen hadn't built the Teleportation Array yet, and he couldn't spend enormous energy using the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron for teleportation. Besides, who knew if he could teleport back here after returning.
Having completed all this, Lin Chen began to survey the island. Having chosen it as his base, he gave it a name: Yang Flame Island.
Zhang Caiyun, Zhang Hongying, and other Zhang Family's disciples stayed obediently on the island, healing their injuries.
With Lin Chen's prior warning, they dared not leave the island recklessly. After recovering from their injuries, they also trained on the island.
