Chapter 2365: Chapter 2385: Take a Master to Avoid Being Beaten to Death!_1

Lin Chen’s eyes widened with surprise and delight.

Although he had learned Su Shaoling’s Heavenly Sword and become a disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, he had only seen Su Shaoling’s Primordial Spirit once; he had never actually met Su Shaoling in person.

The last thing he expected was to hear news of Su Shaoling from his newly sworn Master.

Two thousand years ago?

A peak Daluo Ultimate Immortal?

Lin Chen asked excitedly, "Master, did he mention which sect he is with now?"

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "No sect, he said he is a Loose Cultivator."

Lin Chen came to a realization. That explained it.

Although he had never met Su Shaoling, he was a man who could sweep through the entire Thunder Immortal Domain with just his sword, unmatched in talent in the Sword Dao. If he had joined a top-tier sect, how could it take him four thousand years just to reach the level of a peak Daluo Ultimate Immortal?

He cultivated alone, and most likely spent much of his time gathering cultivation resources. After all, talent is important for cultivation, but cultivating resources are the most critical.

As long as the cultivation resources were of high quality, even a pig could learn to fly, not to mention a cultivator with exceptional talents.

Two thousand years have passed since then, who knows what has become of him?

He must have already broken through his bottleneck and attained promotion to Daluo Initial Immortal, right?

"Master, where did you meet him?"

"Eastern Brilliance."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. "So that means he might have been in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain for the past few thousand years?"

"Perhaps he is still there now."

Master Floating Cloud said with a laugh, "If you wish, I will later instruct the sect disciples to help you keep an eye out, and see if there is any news of him."

Lin Chen nodded frankly, "Good, thank you, Master. I’ve never met him at all, and I truly do wish to meet him."

Master Floating Cloud burst into hearty laughter. "According to you, by self-destructing his Primordial Spirit avatar, he informed his true self that an heir has been chosen, yet he does not know who the successor is. Even if you stood right in front of him, he probably wouldn’t recognize you."

"Yes."

Lin Chen did not mind at all. "When he left behind the inheritance, he wasn’t looking to gain anything from it; he just hoped to leave behind the Heavenly Sword Inheritance for the White Crane Immortal Sect. Personally, it doesn’t matter to him who the successor is, as long as it’s a disciple of White Crane."

Master Floating Cloud stroked his beard. "That’s the idea, but it will certainly be quite interesting when you two meet someday."

Imagining the encounter with Su Shaoling, where he would call him master while Su Shaoling looked utterly confused, Lin Chen found it extremely amusing and couldn’t help but chuckle. "Definitely, I’m quite looking forward to that day."

Master Floating Cloud turned to look at the three women following behind Lin Chen, and Lin Chen volunteered, "They are all my wives, well, Daoist couples...."

The three women each paid their respects to Master Floating Cloud, who hurriedly rummaged through his Spatial Ring and took out three Spiritual Treasures as a meeting gift for the women.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There are two more cultivating in seclusion on the island. Next time, we’ll have the opportunity to meet Master again...."

The expression on Master Floating Cloud’s face became rather complicated for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "If you end up with any more Daoist couples, kid, I’ll be completely bankrupt."

Lin Chen chuckled. He was willing to become a disciple of Master Floating Cloud partly because Master Floating Cloud was strong enough and the terms offered were good, and also because of Master Floating Cloud’s personality.

Master Floating Cloud lived like a free and unfettered crane, not desiring power or indulgence, and did not involve himself in the affairs of the sect. In other words, he was carefree, with few worries, which was very important to Lin Chen. He did not want to join the Dragon Mountain Sect only to end up with a pile of troubles that made him feel like he was just ’going to work’ in the human world—that would be truly tragic.

Even though Master Floating Cloud was extremely powerful, he had no airs about him, was easy to talk to, and easy-going, which Lin Chen appreciated.

Lin Chen was no longer a newcomer to the Barren Wilderness. He completely possessed the ability to refuse; even if he had to cultivate alone, at most he’d be like his Master Su Shaoling, progressing slower, but eventually climbing up all the same.

As for dying along the way?

That would just mean he did not have the destiny for it, and there was no point in forcing it.

"Let’s go, it’s time to meet the others."

"Yes!"

Lin Chen followed into the camp of the Dragon Mountain Sect. Many sect members were setting up camp and constructing a Defense Array.

Seeing everyone come in, all eyes turned simultaneously and landed on Lin Chen, following close behind.

Liuyun was chatting with two others and turned with a smile. "Here you are."

Just as Lin Chen was about to join the conversation, Master Floating Cloud calmly extended his hand. "Address him as Martial Uncle. You’ve seen him before."

Liuyun’s grin froze on his face. "Eh?"

Lin Chen chuckled inwardly, bowed, and greeted, "Lin Chen greets Martial Uncle!"

Not only was Liuyun stunned, but everyone around who was paying attention was shocked as well, but seeing Master Floating Cloud standing beside them, they all quickly realized what had happened.

Lin Chen became a disciple?

Liuyun’s face showed a delighted expression. "Senior brother, has this kid taken a master?"

Master Floating Cloud made a sound of affirmation, appearing every bit the expert, but the upturned corner of his mouth betrayed his inner emotions.

Liuyun laughed heartily. "That’s a good thing! Hey, Lin Chen, how come you so suddenly saw the light, eh?"

Lin Chen hesitated briefly and glanced at Master Floating Cloud, but noticed that Master Floating Cloud was facing sideways towards him, showing no sign of turning his head.

Lin Chen turned back and responded with a smile, "I’m a person who likes to wander about, often getting into trouble. Taking a master will ensure I have someone to back me up and prevent me from getting beaten to death...."
