Chapter 1720: Chapter 1740: Number One on the True Immortal List?_1

Lin Chen retracted his Sword Intent consciously.

The competing nature of Sword Intent is pretty similar to scenarios like, "What are you looking at?" "Got a problem with it?" "Try staring one more time." If neither party exercises restraint, it almost always ends in a skirmish.

Lin Chen is a disciple of Su Shaoling, a status that rivals anyone in the Thunder Immortal Domain. Coupled with his extra special status as an envoy of the Immortal Palace, he had no reason to fear being oppressed, but it also wasn’t necessary.

It’s always a good idea to make more friends than enemies when traveling.

Suddenly, the skyborne flying boat halted.

The white-clothed man stood up, looking at Lin Chen who was lounging in his seat, with a slightly surprised expression in his eyes.

Out in the wild, in the Bai Ye Mountain Range that’s teeming with Demonic Beasts. Just casually laying here, contemplating life?

The white-clothed man gestured at Lin Chen: "Friend, how about a chat up here?"

Since he’d been asked, it was only polite for Lin Chen to accept. He packed up his chair, and flew up.

Once Lin Chen came ashore on the deck of the boat, he made a fist-and-palm salute: "White Crane Immortal Sect, Lin Chen."

The white-clothed man seemed to take a moment to recall what the White Crane Immortal Sect was: "Cloud Sky Continent, is it where Su Shaoling is, in the White Crane Immortal Sect?"

Nodding his head, Lin Chen inwardly sighed at how most people associated the White Crane Immortal Sect with Su Shaoling. If it wasn’t for this prodigious genius, most people would probably be completely clueless.

White Crane Immortal Sect?

Where is that?

Never heard of it!

The white-clothed man saluted: "Star Mist Sword Sect, Chu Yue."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, his expression slightly surprised: "The top one on the True Immortal List, Chu Yue?"

Chu Yue chuckled: "I was before I closed myself off for cultivation, not anymore after a few years."

Lin Chen was puzzled initially, but then an understanding dawned on him. Chu Yue had made a breakthrough!

He has become a Golden Immortal!

As a Golden Immortal, he naturally couldn’t occupy the top position in the True Immortal List.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Congratulations on your promotion to Golden Immortal!"

Chu Yue, rather nonchalantly, responded, "It was bound to happen, not bad."

Lin Chen took a shot at asking, "I heard that Your Excellency has an Innate Dao Body?"

Chu Yue nodded, "Yes."

Lin Chen’s heart filled with a tinge of envy.

When he had a casual chat with the Son of Duobao Daodao, Fang Wubing, they talked about Chu Yue, the one on top of the True Immortal List.

He’s a real deviant ahead of his time!

An Innate Dao Body coupled with an Innate Sword Spirit Body. The convergence of these two top-notch Spirit Bodies in one person was extremely rare, a once in ten thousand years event.

There’s a legend that when Chu Yue was born, the sky rained countless golden lights and omens emerged spontaneously.

Now, Chu Yue was just over twenty years old, younger than Lin Chen, but he had already ascended to Golden Immortality.

Chu Yue practices the unique secret technique ’Big Dipper Sword Technique’ of the Star Mist Sword Sect. At a young age, he has already embodied the true intention of the Sword Dao. His sword strikes carrying an air of Dao always manage to crush his opponents easily.

When he was at the zenith of True Immortality, he once went up against a mid-stage Golden Immortal and defeated him with just three strikes, leaving him severely injured. His combat power was extraordinarily shocking.

Lin Chen praised, "I have heard a lot about Your Excellency’s reputation. Now that I see you in person, your Sword Qi is indeed grand and unrivaled. I am really impressed!"

No hint of pride could be traced on Chu Yue’s face. If anything, he looked curiously at Lin Chen, "Your Sword Intent is so pure and somewhat strange. Every bone in your body seems to be emitting Sword Intent. Even though I can’t see it, I can feel it..."

Lin Chen frankly replied, "I’ve used a special method to refine each bone in my body into Sword Bones. As such, each bone in my body is akin to a sword."

At this point, Chu Yue’s eyes widened, his face a depiction of shock. "No wonder, no wonder, that’s amazing! Does that mean your body is a magical treasure by itself?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, my body is my final line of defense. Compared to ordinary cultivators, I can withstand greater damage."

Chu Yue praised, "I don’t know how you did that, but I believe it must have cost quite a bit. By the way, which Sword Technique do you practice?"

"Heavenly Sword."

Seeing as their conversation had progressed this far, Lin Chen saw no need to hide it: "Su Shaoling is my master."

As soon as he heard this, Chu Yue’s eyes ignited with anticipation and a rising eagerness, "I have long heard of the valiance of Heavenly Sword Su Shaoling. With just one sword, he swept across the Immortal Domain undeterred by even the Immortal Monarchs. He finally advanced to the level above Da Luo and left nonchalantly. He is the idol and goal of us who practice Sword Dao. Brother Lin, may I learn a few moves from you?"

Fearing Lin Chen might have misunderstood him, Chu Yue quickly clarified, "I practice Sword Dao. Whenever I meet accomplished people in the art, I’m always keen to learn from them. Our battle will mainly consist of exchanges. I mean no harm."

Lin Chen didn’t misunderstand. Being part of the Sword Dao community, he could relate to the feeling of delight at seeing something new.

"Sure, but compared to you, my realm is... much lower..."

Chu Yue shook his head, "What’s your realm?"

"Peak Earth Immortal."

Chu Yue put it straight forward, "I will suppress my strength to the level of Peak Earth Immortal and spar with you, we’ll stop when it is necessary."

Lin Chen agreed amicably, "Good!"

Chu Yue got excited, "Now?"

Lin Lin nodded, "Sure."

Chu Yue stepped into mid-air and said with a smile, "Good, let’s get started, then we’ll have a drink!"

Lin Chen took to the air, standing parallel to Chu Yue. Drawing his Demon Emperor Blade, he laughed, "I’ll check out the power of your Sword Dao with my Fake Sword Spirit Body!"

Chu Yue sealed a part of his strength. With a sweep of his hand, seven identical flying swords appeared behind him.

"My seven swords are inspired by the Big Dipper Seven Stars, operating as a whole. Please be careful, Your Excellency!"
