Chapter 2190: Chapter 2210: Your Efforts are Worth it! _1

Lin Chen was surprised as he looked at the petite figure that had just stepped onto the feet of the three-legged Pan. Wasn’t that Shu Zi Feng?

No wonder Zi Feng had been solitary these days. Lin Chen had thought she was embarrassed to be a third wheel between him and someone else, but it turned out she was secretly participating in the selection process for the Immortal Palace apprenticeship.

Lin Chen wasn’t really angry or annoyed, because after all, entering Myriad Immortal Hall and becoming one of its main targets for cultivation was a very promising path.

Being with Lin Chen, Zi Feng might feel the warmth of a home, but she could potentially miss out on opportunities for cultivation.

Even if Lin Chen possessed Qin Zheng’s cultivation technique and had numerous treasures, including the still living Lu Yao, he couldn’t possibly compare to the Myriad Immortal Hall, which was undoubtedly the sovereign of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain.

But who was above Myriad Immortal Hall?

The Lord of the Immortal World, the Immortal Emperor!

Ziyun Zunzhe looked surprised and turned to look at Lin Chen: "She secretly enrolled without telling you, aren’t you mad?"

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile: "Although I always feel that she is very young and needs someone to protect her, she is actually very independent. She has walked and grown up on her own all these years. She has her own opinions. Why should I get angry?"

Ziyun Zunzhe spoke softly, "If you don’t feel angry, that’s good. I think Zi Feng’s decision to take part in the Immortal Palace apprenticeship selection is not only for her own growth, but also for us, or more specifically, for you, her Master."

Lin Chen blinked, his facial expression suddenly becoming rather delicate: "Joins Myriad Immortal Hall, to protect me?"

Ziyun Zunzhe nodded: "That’s what I think."

Lin Chen looked at the figure slowly climbing up and sighed softly: "Perhaps you are right. This girl...ah!"

Ziyun Zunzhe asked: "If that is her goal, will you stop her?"

Lin Chen remained silent for a long while, before finally shaking his head.

Zi Feng was no longer a child, and how could he stop her from doing something she wanted to?

Forcefully ordering her to give up and stay by his side?

Perhaps doing so may seem out of concern for Zi Feng, but for her personal growth, it would be a form of limitation and restriction.

He had accepted Nangong Night participating in the Immortal Palace apprenticeship selection and joining Dragon Cloud Mountain, so why not accept Zi Feng’s decision?

Ziyun Zunzhe, understanding Lin Chen’s complex thoughts, took his hand gently and said, "You should feel happy. You are her master, and she sees you as a father figure, the only light in her life. She wants to repay and protect you with her own ability. This shows that she knows gratitude, and it proves that your efforts for her were worthwhile."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, then laughed, "Yes, I have indeed become a bit of an old father. If she can join Myriad Immortal Hall and receive special cultivation, that will be a good thing. Regardless of what achievements she attains, there wouldn’t be a need to worry about her being bullied."

Ziyun Zunzhe joked: "Who would dare to bully a member of Myriad Immortal Hall in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain? That would be like courting death!"

Both of them fell silent, their gaze falling upon the figure of Zi Feng, silently cheering her on in their hearts.

Atop the three feet of the Pan, every individual was taking one step at a time under immense pressure, walking up the incline that resembled the Heavenly Stairway.

Initially, there wasn’t much difference among all the challengers, but after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the gap began to appear.

A large number of challengers felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs and walking under a colossal amount of weight with each step.

Their strength was significantly suppressed; let alone flying, they couldn’t even run. Many directly vomited blood under this immense pressure and collapsed weakly on the ground.

Those who couldn’t reach the apex of Zhongsheng Ding would be completely eliminated. As long as they could still hold on, everyone was struggling to move forward under the pressure.

Zi Feng’s forehead was already covered in sweat. Although she was a Daluo Mysterious Immortal, the pressure she was bearing was also greater.

At this moment, the differences between geniuses and ordinary cultivators began to manifest, and it became more and more apparent.

Initially dense crowds began to break apart, and the further ahead in the line, the sparser it became.

Carrying enormous pressure, Zi Feng steadily climbed up the Pan’s foot, and then through the reserved passage on top of the Pan’s foot, she entered the inside of Zhongsheng Ding and into the second stage of assessment.

Watching Zi Feng’s figure disappear, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

She had finally made it to the next stage. Seeing how her body was trembling as she climbed towards the end, Lin Chen couldn’t help but be anxious for her.

No one could see the scene inside the Pan, and the people from Myriad Immortal Hall had no intention of letting anyone see. Everyone could only wait quietly.

This wait lasted for half a day.

When the first figure appeared above the Zhongsheng Ding, everyone cheered, but when they saw who it was, the cheers suddenly cooled down.

It was a young man whose skin was grey, and who wore something similar to a bandage all over his body.

The Nether Tribe!

The first person to pass the second round was not a member of the Human Clan, but the Nether Tribe!
