Chapter 1272: Chapter 1292: Forget the Sorrows, Wait Quietly for the Immortal Fate_1

Lin Chen followed the old man into his house. In the courtyard, an old woman was lying on a bamboo chair, seemingly dozing off.

Hearing the footsteps, the old woman opened her eyes and her gaze fell on Lin Chen. For an instant, her eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Lin Chen shivered inwardly. Was she inspecting him?

Lin Chen wasn’t overly concerned, because the technique he used was taught to him by Qi Lin at the last moment.

"You possess the Wu Xiang Demon Skill that allows you to alter your appearance, this will be sufficient in dealing with various situations. However, your aura and your ’Sword Bone’ cannot be hidden. A sweep of divine sense from others will expose all your secrets."

"I will transmit to you a technique to conceal your internal state. Even if the person is an Immortal, they might not necessarily be able to see your internal state. You can disguise yourself to appear like an ordinary Cultivator."

Before stepping onto the island, Lin Chen used the technique to hide his ’Sword Bone’. His power didn’t need to be concealed, after all, it was normal for the middle-aged cultivator he was pretending to be to possess early-stage Void power.

In the eyes of these people, someone at the Early Stage of the Void was not much to take note of. Lin Chen was merely trying to hide the fact that he was the Human Emperor.

The Emperor’s Seal was another factor that could easily be discovered. However, since entering the Void stage, the Seal had been increasingly acknowledging him, particularly after he quelled the great battle between the human and demon races. The Emperor’s Seal had fully acknowledged him.

Now, he could store the Emperor’s Seal in the Sea of Knowledge as if it were his Life-bound magical treasures, effectively concealing it.

The Heaven Scroll of the Emperor’s Scripture was still with his master. Even if someone searched Lin Chen’s Spatial Ring now and found some good things, they wouldn’t be able to determine his identity from that.

The old woman looked at him for a moment, and her gaze softened as if the sharpness before had just been Lin Chen’s imagination.

She turned her head away without a word and gave no indication that she planned to interact with Lin Chen.

As she turned her head, Lin Chen clearly saw a flash of distaste in her eyes.

Why did she dislike him?

The old man noticed this and said with a wry smile, "Old woman, we have a guest. This is not polite..."

The old woman ignored him, pretending to be asleep.

The old man looked a bit embarrassed and said, "My wife has gotten used to being alone and doesn’t like to interact with people. Please don’t take it personally."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Senior, please don’t bother. It’s my fault for intruding."

The old man led Lin Chen through a passage to the backyard.

"Please sit."

At an antique Eight Immortals Table in the backyard, the old man brought out a tea stove, boiled water, and brewed tea.

The tea leaves were lush green, emitting a captivating aroma. As the boiling water poured over them, a white mist rose and transformed into a dragon, enhancing the aroma.

"Have a taste, the Immortal Dragon Tea."

Having arrived here, Lin Chen was cautious about everything. However, this cup of tea was brewed right in front of him, indicating that he couldn’t refuse to drink it.

Besides, if these people really wanted to harm him with his current strength, he had no means to resist.

Lin Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. A pure and rich Immortal Spirit Qi flowed into his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

"Good tea!"

Lin Chen praised, "I’ve never seen this tea before. Thank you, senior."

The old man smiled, "This tea is grown in an environment rich in Immortal Spirit Qi. Although it contains a lot of Immortal Spirit Qi, it is scarce. The Barren Wilderness may be Qi-rich, but it lacks the Immortal Spirit Qi, so naturally, you wouldn’t have seen it."

Feigning ignorance, Lin Chen asked, "What’s Immortal Spirit Qi?"

The old man answered with a smile, "It’s like spiritual Qi, but of a higher quality. You can simply understand it as the spiritual Qi needed by the immortals in the Immortal Realm for cultivation. This is as common in the Immortal Realm as the spiritual Qi in the Barren Wilderness, but there is none in the Barren Wilderness."

With the old man’s words, Lin Chen immediately asked, excitedly and surprised, "So, senior, are you an Immortal? Or is everyone living on Mystical Immortal Island Immortals?"

The old man laughed, "Not me, I’m at most a Half Immortal. To tell the truth, I was originally just a cultivator from the Barren Wilderness, just like you. I just arrived a few thousand years before you."

The old man paused, then chuckled, "Most residents of Wuyou Village are like me. Of course, there must be an Immortal on Mystical Immortal Island guiding us to become Half Immortals and attain long life."

Lin Chen asked with excitement and anticipation, "Where’s the Immortal, can I meet the Immortal?"

Holding his tea, the old man leisurely took a sip and laughed, "Of course, but no rush. Now that you’re here on Mystical Immortal Island, in Forget-worry Village, you should temporarily forget the troubles and worries of the outside world and live peacefully for a while, waiting for your Immortal Fate."

Immortal Fate?

Lin Chen replied in excitement, "Senior, are you saying that I can become an Immortal? Ascend to Immortality kind of Immortal?"

The old man grinned, "Everyone has an Immortal Fate, but whether you can become an Immortal depends on whether your Immortal Fate is sufficient. That’s up to you..."
