Chapter 1587: Chapter 1607: Challenger!_1

The Divine Fire Martial Arts Competition was in full swing.

Two gifted young warriors were fighting in the sky. They were both True Immortals, frequently calling upon their magical treasures, causing a chaos in heaven and earth.

Lin Chen sat on a horizontal branch of a tree located at the peak of a mountain, enjoying the intense fight. Chu Jiaxue was leaning against him, crackling melon seeds with a relaxed face while watching the battle.

Every warrior, with power inferior to that of a Golden Immortal, could participate in this Battle of the Gifted. The top-of-the-line candidates could get generous rewards.

The publicly recognized No.1, Ma Lanyue did not show up, nor did Situ Wangchuan. So, the favored champion was Han Lingfeng from the One Qi Xuanhuang Sect.

Although Chu Jiaxue had made rapid progress over the years and reached the peak of Earth Immortal, everyone who participated in the war was a gifted person. Who didn’t have some Immortal Fate?

Since there was no hope for Chu Jiaxue to be promoted through the competition, she gave up participating in the competition. Considering she and Lin Chen had already attracted so much attention, she simply enjoyed watching the battles with Lin Chen.

Yue Muzhen had originally wanted her to participate and get some exposure. Seeing she had given up, although she felt a bit regretful, she did not persuade her further.

Let her do what she wants.

After a few decades, or perhaps a hundred years, Chu Jiaxue might become the backbone of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace.

"These people are fighting passionately and fully invested. It’s almost like a life-and-death fight. Watching this is much more exciting than any arena competitions. This live-action film even has special effects..."

Chu Jiaxue couldn’t help laughing: "Others are fighting for their lives, and you are finding it entertaining."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "It’s not a big deal to just observe it."

Chu Jiaxue, leaning on Lin Chen’s shoulder, laughed and asked, "Where will you go next?"

"To the Heavenly Demon Continent, I guess. The Golden Winged Roc has a huge body size and attracts too much attention when I carry it around. I need to find a Secret Fruit of the Demon so that it can freely change its size. That would make it more convenient for me to carry it around in the future."

Chu Jiaxue reminded, "The demon race ranks first on the Heavenly Demon Continent, occupying an absolute dominant position. The Human Clan is just a vassal to the demon race, considered second-class citizens. If you go there, you might be targeted."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s not a big problem. Nalan Wushuang went to the Heavenly Fox Palace. She was born with an Innate Dao Body and is likely to be highly valued. With this relationship, and my identity as a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, there shouldn’t be any significant issues."

Chu Jiaxue blinked, "Nalan Wushuang has gone to the Heavenly Fox Palace? The Heavenly Fox Palace is one of the top ten powers of the Immortal Realm. With her Innate Dao Body, she has a promising future."

Lin Chen nodded, "The three of us, our Sect’s disciples, as well as friends like Nalan Wushuang, are scattered all over the Immortal Realm. We all find it difficult to meet. I also want to take this opportunity to visit them, confirm each other’s circumstances and in the event of any future problems, we can always count on each other for support. "

Chu Jiaxue gently nodded, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Lin Chen.

From the Human World to the Barren Wilderness, and then to the Immortal Realm, Lin Chen has never only focused on his own cultivation in solitude. He has always taken care of his family and friends.

When he firmly established himself in the Barren Wilderness, he went back to the Human World to bring back his grandfather, aunt, and others. Even for those who weren’t willing to come, he gave them plenty of medicinal pills, allowing them to remain healthy and live up to 100 years.

Once he entered the Immortal Realm, he was still concerned about the many people he left in the Barren Wilderness. He gave them medicinal pills, and also brought Ji Ruxue and others, whom he promised, to the Immortal Realm. For each important person, he was always careful to arrange for the best possible path.

He had a tender heart.

As for the faint feelings between Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang, Chu Jiaxue knew about it, but she was too lazy to mention it or deal with it.

From the Human World to the Barren Wilderness, and then to the Immortal Realm, she was increasingly aware of the meaning of the phrase "the path of becoming an Immortal is long". The length of time between her meetings with Lin Chen was increasing more and more, and might keep increasing in the future.

As her strength increased, a closed-door cultivation session could span over decades, or even hundreds of years. Why should she think or worry about those things so much?

The battles continued, one after another, providing endless entertainment.

In the end, the results that everyone was eagerly awaiting came out after some intense battles. As expected, Han Lingfeng of One Qi Xuanhuang Sect took the first place.

It was time for the contests among the older generation once the younger ones had completed theirs. All eyes were on the challengers who were expected to appear.

The fights among the top Celestial Immortals are not something these True Immortals could compare to, right?

"It seems there has been no significant change in the past hundred years. Surely no one will challenge this time, right?"

"The ranking of the Eight Great Forces are the results of countless battles over tens of thousands of years. Everyone knows each other’s strengths very well. It’s not easy to surpass others."

"Maybe someone wants to get into the Eight Great Forces?"

"To get into the Eight Great Forces, you have to first challenge the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, which is ranked eighth. Although Guo Qiuyu of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace is just at the Late-stage of the Celestial Immortal, she possesses extraordinary combat power due to her practice of the Goddess Su Xin Sutra. It’s said that several Peak Celestial Immortals challenged her before, but they couldn’t defeat her."

"Being at the same realm doesn’t mean having the same combat power. It also depends on various factors like the cultivation techniques you practice, magical treasures, unique moves, etc. Isn’t that the principle displayed by Lin Chen who narrowly managed to resist the strength of a True Immortal despite being at the Early Jinxian stage?"

"It seems there will be no exciting event this year."

Just when everyone was chattering, a burly man wearing a black and red cloak soared into the sky. His voice thundered and resounded through the Nine Heavens.

"Xiao Hua, Master of the Twin Holy Gate, challenges the Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace!"
