Chapter 2259: Chapter 2279: Senior, You Wouldn’t Renege on the Deal, Would You?_1

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch didn’t bother with the fussing Chi Zai and once again focused his attention on Lin Chen, "The matter here is concluded, we will meet again if it is destined."

Lin Chen asked with some confusion, "Senior, I am not acquainted with you, why would you be willing to teach me the Way of the Sword Talisman?"

Lin Chen was truly puzzled, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch didn’t know him, so why was he so eager to instruct him?

Lin Chen believed that every effect had a cause in the world, and there was no such thing as love without reason.

Tai Xu had shown mercy to him because the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror was an object of his old friend, and Lin Chen had brought the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror back from the Human World. But what about Shepherd Heavenly Monarch?

Lin Chen decided to seek clarification.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch let out a slight smile, "Did Chi Zai tell you that you are the fated person he’s been waiting for?"

Lin Chen nodded, "He did say that. He said it was something you told him initially, is it something you calculated?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, "Yes, where there is an effect, there must be a cause. The cause of today is the effect of another day. We will meet again. Teaching you a little something is simply to prepare for the future. You need not dwell on it. When the time comes, one day, you will naturally understand."

Lin Chen didn’t understand, but he was greatly shaken.

What was this?

Predicting his own future destiny?

Lin Chen asked with curiosity, "Senior, you said to prepare for the future, what exactly am I preparing for?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch said with a smile, "The mysteries of fate cannot be revealed, in any case, just study hard, it will prove useful eventually."

Since Shepherd Heavenly Monarch didn’t explain, Lin Chen had no choice but to nod in agreement, "I will definitely study hard and strive to master the Way of the Sword Talisman as soon as possible."

Regardless of whether Shepherd Heavenly Monarch’s calculations were true or not, being able to learn the Way of the Sword Talisman was definitely a good thing for Lin Chen. As for the future, whatever price Lin Chen needed to pay for today’s matter would have to be addressed later.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded and stopped speaking, cleanly severing the projection. The large cluster of sword talismans floating in midair then suddenly exploded like fireworks, turning into countless brilliant light points, illuminating the entire dark underwater world.

With the help of the intense radiance at that moment, Lin Chen finally got a clear view of Chi Zai’s appearance.

Four-footed, covered with scales all over, its body somewhat resembled a horse, but the head looked more like that of a snake, with vertical pupils that gave off an icy and sinister feel.

"Senior, are you preparing to set off to the Crimson Immortal Domain?"

At this moment, Chi Zai’s body had shrunk considerably, but even so, it towered like a mountain. Standing on the bottom of the water, it appeared like a giant demon from the abyss, radiating an aura that instilled fear and palpitations.

"Yes, damn Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, actually tempting me with the Flowing Lustrous Gold Vein. He knows full well our Starry Sky Demon Beast clan has no resistance against the Flowing Lustrous Gold Vein. Once I get the Flowing Lustrous Gold Vein, I’ll make my escape. I don’t believe he can catch up to me!"

Lin Chen did not get involved in the grudge between Chi Zai and Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, only saying with a laugh, "You are now free, isn’t it time to pay the rest of the reward?"

Chi Zai feigned ignorance, "What reward? Didn’t I already give you the Starry Sky Magic Bead?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That was the deposit for the work, whether I could save you or not, it was due. Now that I have rescued you, the subsequent payment should naturally be made. After all, you are heading to the Crimson Immortal Domain, and I don’t even know where the Crimson Immortal Domain is."

Chi Zai casually brushed off Lin Chen, "The Crimson Immortal Domain is to the east of the Immortal Realm, close to the Endless Demon Abyss."

"Endless Demon Abyss?"

Lin Chen asked curiously, "What is that place?"

Chi Zai replied, "It’s a spatial rift that connects to the Demon World."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise, asking, "The Demon World? Where is that?"

Chi Zai explained, "You can think of it as another Immortal Realm; it’s just that the cultivators there have a different cultivation method from ours. We refer to them as the Demon Race, so the world on the other side of this rift is also called the Demon World."

"The Demon Race has always launched attacks on the Immortal Realm through this vast spatial rift. Naturally, the Immortal Realm would not allow them to attack unchecked, so they stationed heavy troops at the Endless Demon Abyss to resist the invading Demon Race."

"The entire Crimson Domain is a massive battlefield. The Immortal Realm and the Demon World have fought here for a long time. The Immortal Realm has also invaded the Demon World, but they have been unable to claim victory, and the two sides have been at a stalemate. Anyway, every once in a while, there would be a battle here, and each battle results in countless immortals dying on this battlefield."

Pausing for a moment, Chi Zai said mockingly, "The Crimson Immortal Domain is separated from here by who knows how many Immortal Domains; anyway, this has nothing to do with you, so don’t ask too much."

"Fine, I won’t ask."

Lin Chen agreed and truly did not pursue the matter of the Demon World any further, but he repeated his question, "Senior, you are a Starry Sky Demon Beast, such a formidable existence. You won’t go back on your word with a mere Fairy like me and refuse to pay the reward for saving you, right?"
