Chapter 1299: Chapter 1319: Being Too Excellent, Is Also A Crime For A Man_1

Lin Chen had never thought his family would be his burden, but his aunt’s words had made him come to realize this.

The Immortal Path is merciless.

Why is it so?

Not every family member can pursue the path of cultivation and live eternally. Even more so as the way of cultivation varies, not everyone can settle on the same path. Everyone has their own destiny and will eventually have to part ways.

When he returned to the Human World, Gu Yuexi’s parents chose to stay behind instead of following him to the Barren Wilderness. Now, it might be time for his family to make a similar choice.

It’s not that Gu Yuexi’s parents don’t love Gu Yuexi, or that his mother and aunt don’t love him. Perhaps it’s precisely because of love that they need to let go, letting them fly, walk their own paths, and live the lives they want to live, without being a burden.

If he brought them to the Immortal Realm, what then?

Though cultivation might progress faster, changing their location does not necessarily guarantee a more comfortable and content life than living in the Barren Wilderness. Even if they went to the Immortal Realm, how much time would he have to accompany them?

How much time in these past years in the Barren Wilderness had he been able to spend with his family?

Not to mention his mother and aunt, even his own wife had to endure the separation due to the demands of cultivation.

This was the price one must pay when exploring the Immortal Path.

His aunt was right, he is the Human Emperor of the Barren Wilderness, and he has made tremendous contributions to the Human Clan. With his prestige, his family could live a peaceful life in the Barren Wilderness. But in the Immortal Realm, who knows when his troubles would extend to them?

Although the Barren Wilderness can’t compare to the Immortal Spirit Qi in the Immortal Realm, they won’t be lacking in resources for cultivation. Thus, their strength will not be insufficient and their lifespan will not be short, at least a thousand years is not a problem.

As for the future... they’ll cross that bridge when they get there.

When they have the strength and their own ideas, and when he has enough abilities, they’ll consider their choices and help according to their desires.

After spending several days at home, Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue, and Gu Yuexi held a ceremony under the hosts - his mother, Old Master Chu, and Chen Meifeng.

There weren’t many guests, perhaps just enough to fill one table, but the atmosphere was filled with the feeling of a wedding.

Watching her son and daughter-in-law greet her, Feng Lan’s eyes turned red with happiness.

At this moment, she thought of her husband. If he were here too, the family reunion would be perfect.

Lin Chen understood his mother’s feelings. His current strength might even surpass the Demon Emperor’s. If he came up with more ways, and led the five Half Immortals under his command, perhaps they could defeat the Demon Emperor. But what about after that?

As long as the Demon Emperor’s will continues to dominate, he will remain the Demon Emperor, not his father.

He must wait until he arrives at the Immortal Realm and establishes a secure method to separate souls before he can specifically begin to retrieve his father.

After the ceremony, the two brides were led into their new rooms. Lin Chen stayed in the front hall with everyone else, drinking.

After giving a toast to his master and his senior brothers, it was Senior Sister Qiao Wei’s turn.

"Senior Sister, I thank you for taking care of me. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

Qiao Wei raised her wine glass: "Don’t mention it. In terms of helping each other, you’ve done more for me. If it wasn’t for you, I might still be stuck in the Nascent Soul Stage, unable to achieve the Sword Bone Great Completion."

What Qiao Wei said was not false. If Lin Chen hadn’t used the Shengling Pearl to treat Qiao Wei’s problematic bones while she was refining her Sword Bone, it would have been impossible for Qiao Wei to refine her Sword Bone in one go.

Wasting a few years would have been normal. How could she have soared to such heights?

As the two stared into each other’s eyes, there was a subtle moment of unspoken communication.

Recalling the process of tempering the Sword Bone naturally brought to mind the months they spent together daily and those embarrassingly intimate scenes.

Qiao Wei’s gaze flashed with a hint of melancholy. If Lin Chen had not had a lover before, surely she and Lin Chen would have taken their relationship a step further.

There was no passionate romance between the two, but there was a subtle sentimentality that was romantically enticing.

They were fond of each other, but had to maintain a distance.

They had an understanding, but it couldn’t be spoken of.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Wei’s momentary distraction quickly passed, and she returned to her joyful demeanor, clinking glasses with Lin Chen.

"Congratulations on finally achieving your desired results."

"Thank you."

Lin Chen sighed softly in his heart. Despite having a thousand words to say, he didn’t know where to start.

Next, it was Han Wei, Zhou Yin, and others’ turns.

Han Wei initially followed Lin Chen to repay a favor and later wanted to become stronger. Although she admired Lin Chen’s strength, she did not harbor much romantic feelings for him.

On the other hand, Zhou Yin couldn’t quite disguise her disappointment.

She liked Lin Chen.

She hoped to catch up with Lin Chen’s footsteps and walk alongside him. However, throughout the journey, she couldn’t even see his back.

Perhaps Zhou Yin was the one who understood the ruthlessness of the Immortal Path the most - she was destined to be left far behind by Lin Chen.

This unfulfilled love was destined to end.

Fortunately, even if they couldn’t love each other, their friendship remained, so there wasn’t too much disappointment.

Feng Lan and Feng Yazhen exchanged glances, and a subtle understanding passed between them.

This kid seemed to have caused quite a few emotional debts.

Not only did he marry two brides, but there were also two other women at this banquet who had feelings for him. It looked like they’ll be disheartened tonight.

Sigh, being too outstanding as a man also has its faults...
