Chapter 1075: Chapter 1095: One Becomes an Immortal, Even Chickens and Dogs Ascend_1

"Master, did you manage to collect the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit in the end?"

Shi Changsheng nodded and took out a Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit from the space. The moment the fruit appeared, an intoxicating fragrance filled the air.

The scent was not too strong, but incredibly refreshing. Breathing it in made one feel invigorated, as if every cell in the body was leaping for joy.

This was the body’s instinctive reaction.

"There was a grove of Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Trees there, and seven fruits had already grown on them. Unfortunately, I was only able to ripen one before I was discovered and chased, leaving me no opportunity to ripen the rest."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What is the effect of the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit?"

Shi Changsheng replied, "It is said that the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Tree is a tree from the Immortal Realm, and the fruit it bears is a mystical fruit. It can change a person’s body constitution, similar to washing the marrow, rejuvenating the body, and prolonging life, just like the legendary Pan Tao (Peach of Immortality)..."

Lin Chen immediately understood and exclaimed, "A lower-grade... or rather, the Wildland’s version of the Pan Tao?"

Shi Changsheng nodded, "Ancient records state that the Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Tree requires an extremely unique environment to grow, and the fruits are of no use until they have matured. After going through many ancient books, I learned that there was a Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Tree on an island in the Sea of Oblivion."

"Entering the Sea of Oblivion is extremely dangerous, and more importantly, Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruits have a short duration of effect after they have ripened. So unless one has extraordinary luck, it is difficult to safely enter the Sea of Oblivion and happen to encounter the ripened Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit."

"When I knew you had the Shengling Pearl, I became interested in the idea. I never expected there to be Immortal Slaves on that island. Fortunately, despite the dangers, the adventure was not in vain, and I managed to gain something."

Lin Chen requested, "Master, can you draw us a map?"

Shi Changsheng asked, "Are you going now?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "With Xuanji Fairy here, I think there shouldn’t be any major issues."

After hearing Lin Chen’s account, Shi Changsheng knew that even with only one hand, Xuanji Fairy would undoubtedly be more than a match for the Immortal Slaves. She had even rescued Lin Chen from numerous terrifying ancient creatures in the Eternal Cemetery, so he wasn’t too worried.

Moreover, he believed in Lin Chen’s destiny. Even without Xuanji Fairy, there must be other ways for Lin Chen to come out unscathed in the end.

"Alright!"

Shi Changsheng asked, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Helping an immortal to resurrect was an opportunity for Shi Changsheng to gain some Immortal Fate, and he naturally wanted to seize it.

Lin Chen looked to the side and saw Xuanji Fairy shaking her finger, signaling her refusal.

Lin Chen smiled apologetically, "I’ll just go with her. I have the ability to shrink distances with each step, so I can escape quickly. The Immortal Slaves may not be able to catch up with me."

Shi Changsheng readily nodded, "Alright, I’ll draw you a map."

Since Xuanji Fairy refused, Shi Changsheng decided that Lin Chen’s Immortal Fate was enough.

Once a person becomes an immortal, even their pets will become immortal.

There were only five people in the Nanyue Hengshan lineage. If Lin Chen truly gained the opportunity to ascend to immortality, he probably wouldn’t forget about the others. Even if he couldn’t help them become immortals, allowing them to become Immortal Slaves with a lifespan of ten thousand years shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

Shi Changsheng finished drawing the map and handed it to Lin Chen, then reminded him carefully, "That foggy island is vast, and you might lose your sense of direction and become lost within it. Furthermore, your spiritual power will be limited, and your strength will diminish greatly. It’s best not to enter unless absolutely necessary."

"Understood, Master," Lin Chen replied, putting away the map with a smile. "You said there are still a few unripe Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruits. If we’re successful, we might gain a decent harvest. How many fruits do we need to prolong our lifespan? Can the effects be stacked?"

Shi Changsheng answered, "One fruit is sufficient. If you eat more, the effects can be stacked, but the effects will diminish and not extend your life by multiple lengths."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen understood that, for example, if one Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit could extend one’s life by five hundred years, then eating two fruits wouldn’t extend one’s life by one thousand years but instead by perhaps eight hundred years. Consuming even more would result in even lesser effect.

Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Master, why don’t you eat one?"

Shi Changsheng laughed and replied, "My lifespan is still long enough. I’m in no hurry. The Xuanwu Heavenly Scale Fruit can also heal severe injuries in critical times and save lives."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, "Indeed, there’s no rush to consume it."

After pausing for a moment, Lin Chen asked, "What about Demon Ancestor’s matter..."

Shi Changsheng calmly responded, "Although the Demon Ancestor is a Great Witch who obtained part of an immortal’s power, he is not an immortal after all. The confrontation between the demon race and the human race is not decided by the lower or even middle ranks, but rather the showdowns of the top levels."

"Although you have been acknowledged by the Emperor’s Seal and are the new Human Emperor, your strength is limited for now. So you don’t have to worry about all these matters temporarily. If possible, help Xuanji Fairy to resurrect as soon as possible, enhance your strength, and even become an immortal."

"As long as your strength is sufficient, even if the demon race has already swallowed several provinces or is on the verge of invading, you can easily drive them away..."
