Chapter 1855: Chapter 1875: Discussion on Martial Fight for the Immortal Monarch_1

Feeling a bit embarrassed, thick-skinned Fang Wubing scratched his head, "Isn’t it rather inappropriate that you’re letting us drink and helping ourselves to your stuff?"

Lin Chen stuffed a bottle of wine into his hands, laughing while scolding, "Stop pretending to be reserved here."

Chuckles rippled from Fang Wubing, "Alright, no more pretending, thanks!"

Lin Chen turned to the other two, grinning, "Go on, take it. Don’t wait for me to persuade you one by one. We’re all grown men here, be spontaneous and stop dilly-dallying. I’ve got more here."

Chen Haoran solemnly bowed, "Thank you!"

Lin Chen waved his hand casually, "Stop talking such nonsense. Just take it. Consider yourselves lucky. After all, I’m usually a pauper who couldn’t offer anything."

Out of curiosity, Fang Wubing inquired, "You mentioned a Dragon Clan ancestor and the Dragon Clan’s sacred grounds, as a human, how did you venture into the Dragon Clan’s territory and get nice things from their ancestor? Don’t our races have a massive grudge against each other?"

Lin Chen replied briefly, "Actually, I went to the Hundred Calamities Sect to visit my second senior brother. Coincidentally, they were in conflict with the Dragon Clan, so I stepped in to help. Later, I discovered that the Dragon Clan had dealings with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so I dug further into it."

"Although they dislike humans, as an envoy of the Immortal Palace, they still had to show some respect. As for the Dragon Clan’s sacred grounds, there was an issue there which involved me. I lent a hand to their ancestor, so they agreed to cut off ties with the Heavenly Dao Alliance and maintain neutrality."

"I was just handling personal matters and got caught up in it all. It was purely luck."

Fang Wubing exclaimed, "Your experiences are truly fascinating. Each time you encounter serious danger, you always come out unscathed in the end and even benefit from it. I recall when you were just an Earth Immortal, and in a few years, you’re already a Golden Immortal like us. Given your skills and capabilities, I might not even be able to defeat you."

Lin Chen bantered, "Don’t be disheartened. After all, you don’t rely on strength to survive. You survive by burning spirit stones. As long as you haven’t run out of spirit stones, you’re invincible."

Fang Wubing raised an eyebrow, "Tsk, I didn’t fight independently in the past because I was physically weak. Now that I’m in top shape, I’m very strong too!"

Chu Yue’s eyes sparkled, "When I first fought with you, I had suppressed my own realm. Now that we’re both in the early stage of Golden Immortal, I want to have a good fight with you again!"

Lin Chen waved him off, "No, it doesn’t make sense for you, a real Innate Dao Body and true Sword Spirit Body, to pick on a fake like me."

Chu Yue was amused, "Your ’fakes’ are no worse than my ’reals’. I took a look just now, your Full-Body Sword Bone isn’t any inferior to my Sword Spirit Body. Although your talent may be fake, your body carries over two hundred magic swords, which are incredibly sturdy and unbreakable. In comparison, my true Sword Spirit Body seems fragile."

Chen Haoran queried, "I heard the Heavenly Dao Alliance is stirring some trouble?"

Lin Chen nodded, "So I’ve heard."

Chu Yue questioned, "Anyway, fight them if they send soldiers and build dykes if they flood, right? There are a group of people from the Immortal Palace here, plus there are many here who support the Immortal Palace. If the Heavenly Dao Alliance doesn’t reveal enough strength, we can snuff them out when they show their heads. If they are powerful enough, we will assess the situation."

Pausing briefly, Chu Yue glanced at all of them, "None of your sects have secretly joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance, have they?"

Fang Wubing responded confidently, "The Multi-Treasure Dao Sect maintains neutrality. Sorry, Lin Chen, I’d love to help you, to help the Immortal Palace, but the decision isn’t mine to make. My personal strength is limited, so there’s not much I can do."

Chen Haoran nodded, "I’m not clear whether the Ghost King Tomb has contacted the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but I’m certain that it hasn’t sided with them."

Chu Yue laughed, "The Star Mist Sword Sect hasn’t contacted the Heavenly Dao Alliance. After all, we’re not one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects and our location is rather remote. Internally, the sect tends to favor the Immortal Palace, but it won’t rashly join the battle."

Lin Chen had anticipated such responses. Otherwise, there would be no reason for these three to come find him in such a high-profile manner.

After confirming all this with the three, Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to find himself opposed to the three one day and become enemies. After all, having been through life and death together in battle, that experience was something to be cherished.

"Neutrality is fine. After all, with so many sects, it can’t be expected for everyone to conform to the Immortal Palace’s orders. The Immortal Palace itself doesn’t have such intentions either."

Lin Chen spoke the truth. After Yao Xiong unified the Thunder Immortal Domain and established the Immortal Palace to preside over the entire Immortal Domain, he hadn’t shown significant intent for power. Therefore, except for a few sects being fully devoted to the Immortal Palace, the others had individually developed over the course of tens of thousands of years and had their own interests which weren’t as simple as initially. Yao Xiong wasn’t bothered about this, which explains why, when the Immortal Palace is facing challenges today, not too many people have firmly sided with it—most have chosen neutrality.

"I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for a while now. Speaking of which, what does this Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest entail?"

Fang Wubing chuckled, "Contest means to fight, of course. Those with the ability can come out and have a round, showing what they’ve got. More importantly, whoever emerges victorious from here will be bestowed the title of Immortal Monarch..."
