I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 166 - 119: Divine Technique, Earth Escape Technique! (Part 2)

Chapter 166: Chapter 119: Divine Technique, Earth Escape Technique! (Part 2)

With such divine technique, even someone as cultivated as the Jade Belt Scholar can easily preserve their life below the Nascent Soul Realm.

After all, if you hide thousands of feet underground, even Nascent Soul cultivators would find it troublesome.

"It’s just a pity that the Jade Belt Scholar’s cultivation of the Earth Escape Technique isn’t quite there yet."

Lin Chen murmured.

The opening Chapter of this Earth Escape Technique states that it originates from the "Earth Fiend Chapter" in the "One Hundred and Eight Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends Divine Techniques."

Earth Escape Technique encompasses two major methods.

First, Digging!

It’s like the Jade Belt Scholar, who can easily excavate an underground tunnel and hide themselves beneath.

Second, Escaping through Earth!

After employing this technique, the land becomes like water to the cultivator, presenting no obstacle at all.

No need to dig the earth, the person takes on a wonderful form, living underground like a fish.

Once mastering the Earth Escape Technique, one can conceal oneself in a thousand-foot depth in an instant.

Furthermore, it allows travel underground, with a speed almost comparable to flying with a magical artifact...

Whether it’s for travel or life preservation, it’s top-notch.

The only downside is the massive consumption of magical power.

Additionally, it requires a full breath of Earth escape. If midway the magical power runs dry or one can’t withstand the earth’s pressure, they have to return to the surface.

"Tsk tsk, this Jade Belt Scholar likely hasn’t mastered the Earth Escape Technique!"

"Otherwise, how could I catch them if they escaped thousands of feet at a single go?"

Lin Chen slightly curved his lips.

He meets the precondition for cultivating the Earth Escape Technique — possessing an Earth Spirit Root!

After all, the Devouring Spirit Root inherently encompasses all the Five Elements, allowing Lin Chen to fulfill most divine techniques’ learning requirements.

"Hmm, as long as I master this Earth Escape Technique, even in the Demon Path Sacrificial City, I’ll have the power to preserve myself..."

Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

Less than three days remained until his return to the Blue Star.

"This thousand-foot-deep underground is far safer than inside Jade Belt City..."

Lin Chen stroked his chin and simply opened up a three-zhang radius small abode underground.

Afterward, he sent Long Ba and Feng Jiu into the city to gather intelligence for him.

As for himself, he stayed underground to cultivate the Earth Escape Technique.

"First, I’ll train in the Earth Escape Technique. By then, even if encountering a threat, I’ll have more ways to preserve my life..."

Lin Chen contemplated silently.

Thus, he began cultivation.

...

In a blink, three days passed.

The countdown on his arm was about to reach zero, and Lin Chen temporarily ended his cultivation.

"Tsk tsk, this Earth Escape Technique is indeed a divine technique, really quite difficult to learn..."

"Three days, just barely a beginner?"

Lin Chen rubbed his chin. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He stood up beside the earth hole.

Employing the Earth Escape Technique, as a mystical light flashed, his body’s surface seemed covered with a layer of brown energy.

Extending his hands, he dug into the soil before him.

He could barely feel the presence of soil, as once dug away, the earth vanished instantly into the void.

In just a dozen breaths, Lin Chen dug two or three feet deep.

"Tsk tsk, at this digging speed, thousands of feet a day is easily achievable..."

"It’s only a pity that the consumption of True Essence is too high..."

Lin Chen murmured.

The core of the Earth Escape Technique isn’t the digging speed but how to handle the excavated soil.

This divine technique can move the useless soil to the surface, as there’s nowhere to transport soil beneath.

"And the Earth Escaping method, the consumption of True Essence is tenfold higher than the Earth Digging method..."

"Let’s see if I can cultivate the Earth Escape Technique to Minor Achievement!"

Lin Chen’s sensitivity to Earth Spiritual Qi rivals that of a top-grade Earth Spirit Root.

In terms of aptitude and understanding, he far surpassed that of the Jade Belt Scholar.

In just three days, he nearly reached the same level as the Jade Belt Scholar.

Moments later, the countdown on Lin Chen’s arm reached zero.

...

Within the Great Xia Country, Martial Arts Palace.

Wang Lishan noticed the changes in Lin Chen and felt delighted, asking:

"You’re back?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded, "Found something good... at least I have the means to preserve my life within Jade Belt City!"

He recounted to Wang Lishan the situations he encountered in Jade Belt City.

This included speculation on the Puppet Hall, Ghost-Exorcising Sect, and newly acquired Earth Escape Technique.

Wang Lishan appeared quite interested in the Earth Escape Technique, commenting:

"This Earth Escape Technique is indeed impressive... Later I intend to form a special unit specifically to study this Earth Escape Technique, it might have great use on the battlefield!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

The art of war is the way of deception; even on the Martial Realm battlefield, the Earth Escape Technique has significant uses!

For instance, excavating a secret path from thousands of feet underground, launching a surprise attack on the Demon Race’s lair...

"I’ve heard that in the old era there was a special unit known as the Tomb Raider Captain... Seems like ’captain’ was an old era official title," Lin Chen remarked with a smile.

Besides, spreading the Earth Escape Technique might even make Engineer Brother unemployed...

...

Upon returning to the Blue Star this time, Lin Chen reported the intelligence as usual.

On one hand, awaiting the think tank’s next plan and prediction.

On the other hand, Lin Chen continued to focus on cultivating the Earth Escape Technique.

Thus, seven days swiftly passed.

Lin Chen made significant progress in the Earth Escape Technique.

If the True Essence is sufficient, digging two thousand feet deep in a single day poses no problem...

But unfortunately, Lin Chen currently doesn’t possess enough True Essence.

The maximum he can dig each day is a thousand feet.

Upon his return to the Cultivation Realm, Wang Lishan informed Lin Chen of the latest prediction from the think tank.

"Chen, do you still remember earlier when you mentioned that the cultivators and mortals in Jade Belt City lost the concept of leaving the city?"

"Of course I remember!"

Lin Chen nodded, finding it the most terrifying anomaly.

Throughout Jade Belt City, with over a million people, if they all lost the concept of ’leaving the city,’ how terrifying would such power be?
