Chapter 1522: Chapter 1542: Undersea City_1

The crowd followed the grand road downwards towards the seabed, captivated by the sight of the water on either side, resembling cliffs. They could see a variety of marine life, an intriguing experience akin to touring the underwater world in the glass tunnel of a sea park.

This descent was several kilometers long.

As everyone descended, the water behind them quickly roiled and closed in.

The path extended under their feet, while the route behind them crumbled.

Initially, as they dived deeper, the light at the seabed became increasingly dim. Suddenly, light appeared in front of them.

A white light barrier at the seabed!

The nearer they got, the larger the white light barrier seemed due to the closing distance.

This was the arrayed barrier of a city located on the seabed!

They arrived on a large platform and passed through an arrayed gate ahead. The view in front of them suddenly opened up.

The seawater was kept out by the array, leaving a brightly lit space inside. Houses sprawled out, forming a typical small city. And at its center, a grand palace was highly conspicuous.

Ao Li led them directly over the city and into the grand palace.

"Rest first, feel free to explore around. I will hold a feast tonight as a treat. We’ll talk more then."

"Okay!"

A few handmaids came over and led them to the resting room ahead.

Lin Chen noticed that all these handmaids still had markedly demon-like features. They were obviously demons who had undergone shape transformation.

Everyone was assigned a room by Lin Chen. He inspected the palace carefully and was inwardly stunned. This huge palace was an entire entity, obviously a building-type Magical Treasure.

The many structures in this underwater city must have been refined from raw materials. After all, during their journey, Lin Chen observed that all the inhabitants here were transformed sea demons. There were no humans.

The City of Demons.

"Lin Chen, we have some time. Let’s go out and explore."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen asked a handmaid about the opera of the Undersea City and found out that the most bustling district was the West Market. That was the business district, where the undersea demons conducted transactions.

The two set out together, with Zhong Quan silently following behind, taking up the role of the guard.

"Lin Chen, do you think Uncle Ao will agree to help?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Who can tell what’s in one’s heart?"

Yao Xuanji said with a laugh, "What you said earlier was quite persuasive..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Even though my inference is likely to be valid, it all hinges on one premise: you accepting his proposal, giving up the struggle, and simply hiding here to cultivate."

"But can you accept that?"

Yao Xuanji smirked, "Of course not... I came to ask for Uncle Ao’s support. It’s good if I succeed, but even if I don’t, it won’t be too disappointing. After all, when I listed these potential supporters, I never assumed all of them will agree."

"If I really wanted to avoid this, why hide in Wanli Palace? Why not take advantage of the still uncollapsed situation, lead the people of the Ultimate Fairy Palace, leave the Thunder Immortal Domain, go to another Immortal Domain, find a place, and settle down? Isn’t that safer than staying in the Wanli Palace?"

Lin Chen stared at Yao Xuanji, saying softly: "So you’ve decided to face the difficulties, even if the result is still failure?"

Yao Xuanji chuckled: "Even if my father has disappeared, five hundred years isn’t long in our realm. Many powerhouses cultivate in seclusion for hundreds, even thousands of years..."

"If my father had died, I might gather my loyal sects, officially release them, or take the factions unwilling to leave to a safe place to avoid disaster. After all, the Master of the Immortal Domain must possess overwhelming strength to suppress all. My strength is far from enough."

"The position of Domain Lord has always been respected for strength, killing to reach the top. Inheritance doesn’t count. Now, those who stay loyal to my royal palace do it for my father, not me."

"Since my father is not dead or here, I naturally can’t just let it go. I must at least try. Who knows, he might return one day?"

Lin Chen nodded. It must be admitted that Yao Xuanji is very rational and sees the whole situation very clearly.

"Yeah, give it a try. Your father is just far away, not back yet. No matter who it is, there is some fear in their hearts. They wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant... By the way, what is the real level of strength you and your father possess? Above Da Luo?"

Yao Xuanji shook his head, "No, those above Da Luo generally wouldn’t stay in the Thunder Immortal Domain. He is just a Peak Celestial Immortal. However, his cultivation path is unusual, so his combat power is extraordinarily high. Few below Da Luo can match him."

"As for me, I’ve been cultivating strenuously since I returned. Thanks to my ten thousand years of comprehension, I’ve advanced continuously and just reached the Golden Immortal Realm. However, the accumulated resources of our palace have been almost consumed by me. Now my progression is slowing..."

Lin Chen asked curiously: "Why wouldn’t those above Da Luo stay in the Thunder Immortal Domain?"
