Chapter 2247: Chapter 2267: A Defeated Foe, What’s There to Say?_1

"Who are you? And who are those three Daluo Ultimate Immortals above us?"

Lin Chen said with a slight smile, "Would Senior prefer to hear the truth or a lie?"

The venerable voice seemed somewhat surprised, asking with interest, "What difference does it make between the truth and the lie?"

Lin Chen replied, "The three of them each belong to one of the competing Xianmen within a certain region, and the most powerful in their clans are Daluo Ultimate Immortals—that is the truth. As for myself..."

"If you wish to hear a lie, I am just a servant of Tai Xu, expressly dispatched here to guard the Yin-Yang Spring. That is the identity I told to those three people outside."

"If you want to hear the truth, I’m sorry, but I am actually just a Loose Cultivator from a remote place, who step by step reached this day through a bit of luck and the help of some kind-hearted people, nothing more."

The venerable voice sounded somewhat astonished, "A Loose Cultivator, I suppose you are not even over a hundred years old?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "To call myself a Loose Cultivator isn’t exactly accurate either. My Master in the Human World, judging by the cultivation strength division, would be but at the Qi Refining Period. My sect in the Barren Wilderness, my Master is at the Hollow Void stage, and in my sect within the Thunder Immortal Domain the most formidable might just be my unseen Master, who is a Daluo Immortal. I don’t know the extent of his strength, and the strongest in the sect? That would be an Early Heavenly Immortal. Now that I am here in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, without a sect and without support, therefore I say I’m a Loose Cultivator..."

Two more notes of astonishment entered the venerable voice, "It seems you indeed possess some fortune, not yet ascended to Daluo and already have the Avatar Ability. I guess those three outside didn’t realize that you’re an avatar, did they?"

Lin Chen said with a smile, "With Senior’s discerning eye, naturally, you are beyond the reach of ordinary people."

The venerable voice laughed, "There’s plenty of Time. Why not tell your story? I’ve been here too Long Time and haven’t had a chat with anyone in ages."

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in midair and began to tell his story.

The person who owned this sword was acquainted with Tai Xu, and even Tai Xu was unwilling to help, not desiring to provoke karma. This shows that the owner of the sword is not to be trifled with, and their strength could be very powerful, perhaps not even weaker than Tai Xu.

The life pierced by the Giant Sword must have been weaker than the owner of the sword, but one could assume not by much; after all, to be able to fight the other to such an extent that they could change the entire world with their own strength, such an entity could not possibly be weak.

Through acquaintances such as Xi Jie, Master Floating Cloud, and Tai Xu, Lin Chen realized that these individuals view others completely differently from ordinary Cultivators.

They are Powerhouses, having seen too many with exceptional talent and too many other powerhouses. To them, such individuals seem exceedingly ordinary. Whereas, Lin Chen, an unremarkable outlier, seemed rather "interesting" to them.

Tai Xu did not save this formidable life, and Lin Chen did not know whether it bore any grudge against Tai Xu. Thus, the identity of a servant of Tai Xu may not be reliable, possibly the life might resent even the associated with Tai Xu.

Lin Chen did not know what the other party wanted him to do, but regardless, the first step was to eliminate any hidden dangers.

If the other party thought him a Loose Cultivator of meager strength, with no background, unable to manage the tasks they set, then he would simply leave; he could just flee if needed. If the other party, due to his own lack of strength, did not take him seriously, then his "interesting" identity as a Loose Cultivator might actually be an advantage.

Based on the current situation, it seemed the other party was quite interested in him.

Lin Chen concealed some things that might draw the other party’s curiosity, such as the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, and told them his story in general terms.

The venerable voice said, clearly intrigued, "You lied to them, and they still treated you as an honored guest?"

Lin Chen spread his hands, "If I hadn’t said that, I reckon they would have been hunting and killing me non-stop."

The venerable voice laughed heartily, "A mere Early Heavenly Immortal actually managed to deceive three Daluo Ultimate Immortals, you kid indeed have some guts..."

Lin Chen countered, "Senior, I’ve told you my story, now you should tell me about yourself. I know nothing at all about you."

The venerable voice huffed, "Just a defeated minion of Others, what’s there to say?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It seems that I am not the person Senior is waiting for. In that case, I will take my leave. If Senior has a need, I can call down those three above, as they are all Daluo Ultimate Immortals, who I presume are more capable of assisting you."

The venerable voice seemed a bit surprised by Lin Chen’s initiative to concede, "You risked your life rushing down here, not for the possibility of a miraculous encounter, but to hear a story? And you would leave without even asking what I want you to do?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "With Senior’s celestial might yet still trapped here, my little strength in comparison might be no different from that of ants. It’s unlikely I could be of help. Besides, I don’t even know who Senior is, or why you have been suppressed here. Even if by chance I had the ability to assist you, I wouldn’t dare to reach out. What if after helping Senior, you turn around and erase me with a flick of your wrist? Then wouldn’t I be at a huge loss?"
