Chapter 2146: Chapter 2166: Life is so long that memories become vague!_1

At the lakeside cabin, Lu Yao sat cross-legged in tranquility. In front of him, a cup of tea rose with a wisp of faint smoke.

The tea is a top-grade Immortal Tea, brimming with strong vitality and loaded with spiritual Qi. For ordinary cultivators, just one cup would significantly augment their strengths. However, for Lu Yao, it was just an ordinary beverage.

Lin Chen held the tea cup, took a sip, and savoured the rich vitality and thick spiritual Qi. He couldn’t help but marvel, was this the everyday life of the top big shots?

Lin Chen had returned to the minefield and taken a hefty amount of Mo Xian Crystals from Zhao Xinyu.

He didn’t take all, anyway Zhao Xinyu still needed to take a part back for a report.

Originally, he planned to kill all the Sky Horse Knights, but Lin Chen had already changed his plan, so naturally, he didn’t need it anymore.

The Three-Saint Sect would eventually be his Three-Saint Sect, and these people could naturally become his own people. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just kill them?

It was almost the end of the Milky Way Secret Realm. Lin Chen didn’t rush to cultivate; he spent his leisure time chatting and drinking tea with Lu Yao.

Lu Yao’s face still retained the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but his bun haircut had become snow-white, adding a touch of an enchanting feeling to him.

"Can you talk about your past?"

Lin Chen held the tea cup and said with a smile, "Sure, but compared to your life, mine is pretty short and not as thrilling."

Lu Yao shook his head, "When life is too long, many memories of life become increasingly unclear, and the things that one can care about and always remember become fewer and fewer. This feeling isn’t that great. Your current memories are fresh, and your emotions are clear. This is good..."

Lin Chen began to recount his life. Lu Yao held the tea cup and listened attentively.

He kept talking for quite a while.

After Lu Yao finished listening to the story, he looked at Lin Chen with a more amused look in his eyes. "Your life can be considered a legend, too. I didn’t expect that you started as an ordinary person and step by step reached where you are now. You are much more impressive than those who were born into affluent cultivation families."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I wish I could have, but I didn’t have the right conditions, did I?"

Lu Yao laughed leisurely, "What do you want to do in the future?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I don’t know. All along, maybe just because I don’t have a powerful background, I always face different enemies. I hardly manage to trample over one enemy when another more powerful one emerges. I don’t really like fighting. I just want to be a carefree immortal, live a comfortable life. But that’s probably just my wishful thinking. After all, wherever there are people, there are reckonings and there exist Jianghu. It isn’t easy to stay transcendent while being in the thick of it all, is it?"

Lu Yao took a sip of tea, put down the cup, picked up a pot of water from the side, and added water for Lin Chen, "You seem to see it quite clearly."

Lin Chen smiled, "Therefore, I hope to become a little stronger. I don’t mean to be stronger than anyone, I just wish that anyone who wants to bully me or provoke me would think twice and be wary of me."

Lu Yao gave a faint smile, "What kind of strength do you think you need to make people wary of you?"

Lin Chen thought for a while, "Above Da Luo are the Saints. The Immortal Emperor governs the whole Immortal Realm. I am not hoping to become a Saint like the Immortal Emperor. As long as I have the strength equal to yours and Qin Zheng, I think, not necessarily rule in Immortal Realm, but at least I wouldn’t be someone who could be easily messed with."

Lu Yao chuckled, "With our strength, though we couldn’t rule the Immortal World, it’s certainly possible to dominate a side and live a free and invincible life. For that, you could practise Qin Zheng’s Only I am Supreme Ten Thousand Emperors Method. However, this cultivation technique is not for everyone. One needs to be predestined for it."

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yao elaborated, "The cultivation technique and the cultivator must match to be effective, not just in aspects of spiritual root and talent, but also in terms of one’s disposition and other areas. Only then could significant progress be made."

"The Only I am Supreme Ten Thousand Emperors Method is an extremely strong and aggressive method. If a cultivator doesn’t have the corresponding temperament, it will be very difficult to master it, or to say, harness its true potential."

"Generally, it is not suitable for females to cultivate. As for you, it’s hard to say. Judging from your temperament, you don’t seem like a dominant person, rather similar to me in disposition, not fond of power, and prefer freedom..."

Lin Chen was not impressed this evaluation from Lu Yao and instead laughed, "Since you are not fond of power, how did you become a leader and a big shot in the first place?"

Lu Yao laughed, "I was given family inheritance, I was forced to accept it. If I took the position, others would not dare to struggle. If I didn’t, they would fight to the death, causing chaos..."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "If I don’t go to hell, who will? You are sacrificing yourself for the good of the country."

Lu Yao sighed, "Although I was in that position, in fact, I rarely managed things. Looking back, it didn’t really matter. Anyway, in the end, everything was unified by Qin Zheng. He is indeed very powerful, a hero. Unification isn’t a bad thing. If he hadn’t killed too many of my loyal people and family, causing a death feud, I wouldn’t necessarily have to be at odds with him to the point of being life-threatening..."
