Chapter 2444: Chapter 2464: None Are Quasi-Saints, Nothing To Fear!

"Aren’t the practitioners of your Dragon Mountain Sect Taoists? Are Taoists allowed to have Daoist couples?"

Lin Chen replied, "The Dragon Mountain Sect is not Buddhism, and it does not require its disciples to sever emotional ties. Moreover, I only became a disciple not long ago, and I already had a Daoist couple before joining the Dragon Mountain Sect."

Shang Wenyin suddenly understood and curiously asked, "How did you meet your Daoist couple?"

Lin Chen touched his nose, slightly embarrassed as he answered, "Her grandpa and my master are friends."

Lin Chen actually had more than one Daoist couple, but in such a situation, there was no need to explain that, so he simply talked about his relationship with Chu Jiaxue.

Shang Wenyin noticed Lin Chen’s embarrassed expression but didn’t think much of it and praised, "That’s a solid foundation, quite good indeed."

Lin Chen responded, "Hmm, it is quite good."

Shang Wenyin asked, "Where do you plan to send me then?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "You can’t use your strength right now, no different from an ordinary person. I would worry if I left you alone somewhere. Since you are a woman, staying at the Dragon Mountain Sect isn’t quite proper either. How about, you go to my home? It would be safer..."

Shang Wenyin asked with curiosity, "Where is your home?"

"The Northern Sea, a very small island, just my family lives there, no outsiders."

Shang Wenyin hesitated, "Will I disturb your normal life?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It won’t be a disturbance. However, there’s no city bustle on the island. Other than gardening, fishing, and so forth, there aren’t many other entertaining activities. I’m just afraid you might not be able to bear the solitude..."

Shang Wenyin chuckled, "I barely leave my house in Hongyun City anyway."

Lin Chen laughed, "Well, that settles it. Once Shangguan Wenyin finds the time, he will come to see you. Before that, you can stay at my place with peace of mind. Aside from the two elders, no one knows its location, so you don’t have to worry about being found."

Shang Wenyin nodded, "Then I’ll be in your care."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No trouble at all, just make sure you don’t have anything on you that can be used to track your location before we go."

Once the travel arrangements were confirmed, Lin Chen began his cultivation.

Previously, Lin Chen had obtained a large number of Phoenix Fire Crystal Stones, and now that he had some free time, he seized the moment to cultivate, absorbing the essence of fire to enhance his strength.

The journey was uneventful, and Lin Chen returned to Moon God Island without any problems.

It had been a year since he last left, and the camps of the Three Sects had been abandoned.

Lin Chen went to the Moon God Sect to inquire and learned that the Three Sects had each chosen their locations and had already moved to their respective branches.

The Dragon Mountain Sect had chosen Ascending Dragon Island, located to the southwest of the Northern Sea. The islands in this area are relatively small, with fewer inhabitants, modest resources, and where the influence of the Sea God Sect was relatively minor, making it suitable for establishing a base.

Now a member of the Dragon Mountain Sect, Lin Chen naturally went to identify the new location.

The Immortal Domain was vast, and even though he could move as fast as lightning, covering hundreds of miles in an instant, the back and forth journeys that took months made Lin Chen lament that if immortals didn’t have long lifespans, they would probably spend their entire lives traveling.

Lin Chen didn’t waste time on his journeys. He focused on his cultivation, absorbing a great deal of the essence of fire, which allowed his strength to increase dramatically, quickly reaching the peak of the Shattered Illusion Realm.

Lin Chen had previously harvested quite a few Void Lotus Herbs. He and his two wives had used about half for their promotion to Daluo, he had given some to the Dark Ancestral Dragon, and he still had fifteen left.

Lin Chen paused his cultivation, for breaking through each realm was a direct confrontation with life and death, a challenge from the Heavenly Dao, and he had to be in peak condition to successfully break through with the highest chances of success. Otherwise, one failure could mean losing everything.

Lin Chen arrived safely at Ascending Dragon Island and found the Taoist Temple of the Dragon Mountain Sect being constructed.

Master Floating Cloud was meditating, and he was quite pleased to hear of Lin Chen’s return.

"Master!"

Master Floating Cloud looked at Lin Chen and asked with a smile, "Did everything go smoothly?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Fairly smooth, though I likely offended someone."

Master Floating Cloud raised an eyebrow, "Offended whom?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "The Gui Xu Sect."

Master Floating Cloud blinked, "Never heard of them. Are they powerful?"

Lin Chen replied, "Their Ancestral Master is a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal."

Master Floating Cloud nodded, "Any Quasi-Saints?"

"None!"

Master Floating Cloud pursed his lips and laughed, "Then there’s nothing to fear. So what if you’ve offended them? In the martial world, it’s impossible not to offend anyone... But that being said, you’ve only just come to the Northern Sea, so you shouldn’t have any grievances with the Gui Xu Sect, right?"

Lin Chen recounted the favor he owed to Shangguan Wenyin, and Master Floating Cloud’s expression turned somewhat ambiguous.

"One of the Northern Sea’s three divine maidens? You brought one back?"

Lin Chen clarified, "What do you mean by ’brought back’? I was just repaying a favor to Shangguan Wenyin and helped him retrieve someone, that’s all."

Master Floating Cloud asked curiously, "Is she really that beautiful?"

Lin Chen blinked, "She’s inside the Linglong Tower. How about I invite her out, so you can see for yourself, Master?"

Master Floating Cloud waved his hand, "What do I need to see her for? No, I’m not looking. Even though you’re just repaying a favor, who knows? Someday, she might become one of your family..."
