Chapter 1335: Chapter 1355: Does this guy want to freeload?_1

"Elder Lan, thank you for your invitation, but I’m currently not ready to join a sect. I wish to travel and meet my friends..."

Although Lan Bingwen was somewhat disappointed, he remained generous and amiable.

"Alright, consider it as if I didn’t mention it. If you change your mind, the doors of Divine Sword Sect are always open for you. The terms I mentioned yesterday are still valid."

Lin Chen just ascended to the Immortal World, who could he possibly have as friends?

Apart from Yao Xuanji, who else could it be?

Although Lin Chen already has two wives, and it seems that there might be no opportunity with Yao Xuanji, but who knows what could happen in the world of cultivation?

Is Lin Chen planning to take the Immortal Palace route directly?

In reality, Lin Chen wasn’t intending to seek out Xuanji Fairy, but in order to avoid offending anyone, he had to mention her as a scapegoat.

In refusing, one must always have a good reason, so as not to give the impression of ’I kindly invited you out of respect, but you disrespected me and looked down upon me’.

While mentioning Xuanji Fairy might lead some to the conclusion that ’this guy is planning to mooch off her’, at least it wouldn’t offend anyone.

This was sufficient.

While Lin Chen declined the Divine Sword Sect, Chu Jiaxue and Gu Yuexi agreed to join Water God Palace and Ten Thousand Flower Palace. Even within the entire Immortal Realm, let alone the Thunder Immortal Domain, they had climbed to new heights.

With millions of sects in the Immortal Domain, even a cultivation genius may not have the opportunity to join such a top-tier sect.

Elder Zhou of the White Crane Immortal Sect was very pleased, as Lin Chen declined the Divine Sword Sect but agreed to his invitation to stay at the White Crane Immortal Sect for a while.

This young man is not bad.

Regardless of whether he eventually joins the White Crane Immortal Sect, his visit alone will provide an explanation to the sect.

The Sect Master personally emphasized to treat Lin Chen well, and if possible, bring him into the White Crane Immortal Sect. If not, at least invite him to be a guest for a while.

Yao Xuanji not only expressed gratitude to Lin Chen but also had a strong liking for him.

The Sect Master once said something that Zhou Ming will always remember.

"The man whom the Domain Lord’s daughter loves, who possesses such exceptional talent. The Domain Lord has been gone for hundreds of years, do you think there’s a possibility of him becoming the new Domain Lord in the future?"

...

"Elder Zhou, are you really not going to interfere in this matter?"

Upon learning that Zhou Ming would personally accompany him back to the White Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Chen was quite surprised.

Zhou Ming laughed amiably and spoke intimately: "As you’ve seen, even if a genius appears, we, the White Crane Immortal Sect still can’t compete. So, whether I stay or not doesn’t really matter."

"The most important goal of the White Crane Immortal Sect, managed on Xuanji Fairy’s orders, is to ensure the reopening of the Ascension Channel, waiting for your ascension. All other objectives are secondary."

Lin Chen and Zhou Ming traveled in a small flying shuttle. The array formations on this shuttle were even more complex and exquisite, driven by the Immortal Spirit Qi, its speed was much faster than the flying boats in the Barren Wilderness.

The White Crane Immortal Sect was about a month’s journey from Golden Yuan City. Along the way, Lin Chen learned more about the Immortal World through Zhou Ming’s casual conversations.

Even though it’s called the Immortal World, it primarily refers to the Thunder Immortal Domain, because the Immortal World contains countless domains, even the most powerful cultivators mostly never leave the Thunder Immortal Domain in their lifetimes.

The White Crane Immortal Sect was located among the continuous mountain ranges of the Black Jade Mountain Range, with towering peaks and a huge lake below. There were colossal waterfalls on the peaks, like heavenly water piercing through white clouds, and numerous immortal cranes fluttering among the mountains.

Zhou Ming arranged for Lin Chen to stay in the Guest Garden for entertaining visitors, and finally gave him a token.

"This is my token. With it, you can borrow any cultivation technique books from the first three floors of the Book Collection Pavilion and visit most places within the White Crane Immortal Sect."

Lin Chen hesitated to ask, "Is this appropriate since I haven’t joined the White Crane Immortal Sect?"

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "You are a newcomer to the Immortal Path, and you’re not lacking in cultivation techniques or battle experience. What you are lacking right now is understanding about this world. Even though the first three floors of the Book Collection Pavilion have some considerable cultivation techniques, they probably won’t be of much use to you, so you don’t need to worry."

Even though he knew this was a way for the White Crane Immortal Sect to curry favor with him, Lin Chen couldn’t help feeling more positive about them.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment, "You can also visit Heavenly Sword Peak. There’s only one person there, Su Wu, who was originally an attendant by our Ancestral Master’s side and has followed him in cultivation. He later became the Ancestral Master’s Sword Servant."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "As Elder Su’s Sword Servant, he must be very powerful, right?"

Zhou Ming laughed, "His talent is quite average. It’s just that the Ancestral Master appreciated his loyalty and found a way to get him to the level of a Human Immortal. Over the past several thousand years he took care of Heavenly Sword Peak, but his strength never increased."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Are there no other disciples at Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Zhou Ming explained, "Heavenly Sword Peak wasn’t originally famous, just an unremarkable peak within the White Crane Immortal Sect. Later, the Ancestral Master resided here, comprehending the sword and created the Heavenly Sword, hence the name of Heavenly Sword Peak."

"He was exceedingly powerful, and our sect accorded him the privilege to recruit disciples for Heavenly Sword Peak. Although he is the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Peak, he has never truly taken disciples. After he left, many disciples of the sect came here seeking opportunities, but over the past thousands of years, not a single one has succeeded..."
