Chapter 1298: Chapter 1318: As an Eagle, You Should Soar_1

Sandstone City, a small city, relied primarily on farming and a single mine that produced black sandstone.

Black sandstone was a material used to refine weapons. Its rich deposits and high output ensured that it wasn’t very valuable.

Sandstone City wasn’t densely populated, being situated in a remote location. The surrounding area was devoid of dangerous demonic beasts, making it safe. The city didn’t even have a Protective Array.

It was here that Lin Chen’s relatives and friends had chosen to live.

This location was carefully selected. Although it was rich in spiritual Qi, it was too remote. Most cultivators from the outside world would not come here. Hence, there would not be any disputes, and it would be relatively safe.

To exaggerate a bit, even if wars between sects or between the human and demon races were to occur, even if the outside world were to be destroyed, Sandstone City would likely remain unaffected, living its ordinary and natural days.

Lin Chen, his two women, Chen Meifeng, who had been invited for the wedding banquet, and his five half-immortal subordinates returned to their mansions where Feng Lan and others lived.

As Lin Chen’s party entered, those in the house who heard the news rushed out, their faces filled with joy.

Feng Lan, his mother, Feng Yazhen, his Aunt, Old Master Chu, Old Master Gui, Han Wei, and Zhou Yin.

Not one of them was missing.

Upon seeing the two women by Lin Chen’s side, Feng Lan’s eyes lit up.

Daughter-in-laws!

Two of them!

The son has surely done well!

She had heard from Feng Yazhen about the two daughter-in-laws, but it wasn’t until today that she finally met them.

Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi were somewhat nervous. This was, after all, their first time meeting their parents-in-law.

After some slightly tense and polite greetings, everyone quickly warmed up to each other. This was largely due to Feng Yazhen, who was carefree by nature and knew both women well.

The team from Lin Chen’s sect was also present, but they were staying in a large Siheyuan next door.

Feng Yazhen draped her arm around Lin Chen’s shoulder sans hesitation, "You’ve become quite impressive. In the blink of an eye, you’ve become the savior of the human race. From the looks of it, you’ll ascend to immortality in no time."

Lin Chen shifted his shoulder, moving a bit away from Feng Yazhen. "Aunt, what’s your cultivation level now?" he asked.

"I surely don’t have your speed in cultivation. I’ve just reached the stage of Perfect Golden Core. I don’t know when I’ll be able to break through to Nascent Soul..."

Lin Chen chuckled, "That’s impressive considering how little time has passed. What about them?"

Feng Yazhen smirked, "Zhou Yin has achieved Nascent Soul. Your mother, I, and Han Wei are all at the Golden Core Stage..."

Lin Chen reacted in surprise, "Zhou Yin is Nascent Soul already?"

Feng Yazhen grinned, "Senior Gui has been guiding our cultivation daily. But Zhou Yin apparently has a superior cultivation talent, and it seems like Senior Gui wants to take her as a disciple..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s a good thing."

Back in the human world, Zhou Yin had received cultivation techniques from the director of the orphanage and her strength had improved significantly. This showed she was incredibly talented. The only thing holding her back was the thin spiritual Qi in the human world. Now that she was in Barren Wilderness, her rapid strength growth was expected.

Feng Yazhen suddenly asked, "If things with Xuanji Fairy get resolved and the Ascension Channel is reopened, you all are planning to go to the Immortal Realm, aren’t you?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I guess so, because there’s no more room for improvement if we stay."

He paused, then smiled, "Aunt, it’s true that those who haven’t attained immortality can’t cross the Boundary Gate. But I’ve heard that in the Immortal Realm, there are special medicinal pills that allow anyone to go through the Boundary Gate. If I get to the Immortal Realm, I’ll find some of these pills so we can all go to the Immortal Realm together."

Feng Yazhen fondly touched Lin Chen’s face and said, "You always want to take care of everyone around you. But doing so might tire you."

Lin Chen softly chuckled, "It’s a family affair. There’s nothing to be tired about."

Feng Yazhen intently looked into Lin Chen’s eyes and said, "When my sister and I heard about your story with Xuanji Fairy, we talked it over...We’ve decided not to go to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen was taken aback. "Why is that?"

Feng Yazhen smiled, "You’re moving along too fast, and we can’t keep up. If we can’t keep up, we don’t want to hold you back. Thanks to you, we now have an abundance of cultivation resources and a peaceful environment. Our group can live together happily and take care of each other. "

"We are all young and now have exceptionally long lifespans. We can take care of ourselves. And with your reputation, we won’t face any danger in the Barren Wilderness. This is the most suitable place for us. We can even revisit the human world."

"Going to the Immortal Realm wouldn’t be drastically different from the Barren Wilderness. It would just be a larger place and cultivation might be faster. So, what if we follow you."

"I’ve heard there are many ranks to being an immortal and the path to immortality is endless. You should focus on your journey without worrying about us."

"There are countless realms in the Immortal Realm. If you go to another Immortal Domain, would you want to take us along too? When a child grows up, they should be like an eagle, soaring high and eventually leaving the nest. If that’s the case, let’s just settle in the Barren Wilderness."
