Chapter 2514: Chapter 2534: The Old Sect Hierarch Living Inside the Giant Turtle’s Belly

Lin Chen had just completed his Crossing Tribulation and was in the midst of healing his injuries when he was suddenly attacked.

By the time Lin Chen regained his senses, he had already been swallowed by this monster that had appeared out of nowhere.

Though startled, Lin Chen didn’t panic.

No matter what Sea Demon it was or how formidable it might be, could its stomach really prevent him from escaping?

If one couldn’t kill it from the outside, wouldn’t it be easier from the inside?

Lin Chen casually drew out his Star Cloud Sword, his body shining with Golden Light, letting himself continue to slide downward.

I was actually attacked by a Sea Demon?

Fortunately, the Sea Demon attacked me after my Crossing Tribulation. If it had interfered during the process, it would have really messed things up.

This Sea Demon was unimaginably enormous, its mouth alone was like Mountains, not to mention its entire size. To be honest, amidst the chaos, Lin Chen himself hadn’t gotten a clear look at what kind of Sea Demon it actually was.

The terrifying force pulling on Lin Chen decreased as he fell. He felt weightless, and under the illumination of the Golden Light, he discovered a vast ocean below him.

Is this its stomach?

Lin Chen floated in midair, looking around in shock.

There’s no end in sight?

This stomach is so vast; how huge must the Sea Demon be?

Lin Chen flew forward, planning to find the stomach wall before taking action. However, he hadn’t gone far when he suddenly stopped, staring ahead with shocked eyesight.

A boat!

There was actually a boat floating on the water surface, and what’s more, there was Lamplight on the boat!

Is there someone living on it?

Lin Chen was astonished.

To think that someone could live long-term within the belly of an immensely large Sea Demon, what kind of situation was this?

Lin Chen approached the boat, and suddenly the cabin door opened, and an old man’s voice came from within.

"It has been a while since we’ve had visitors. Fellow cultivator, why not come over for a chat?"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lin Chen greeted with his hands clasped, "Senior, I apologize for intruding!"

Lin Chen leapt aboard and landed at the bow of the boat.

From the opened room door, Lin Chen saw an old man dressed in extremely simple linen clothes, sitting cross-legged, quietly observing him with eyes that seemed to see through people’s hearts.

Lin Chen walked into the room and bowed, "Fellow cultivator, what is going on here? The Sea Demon outside..."

The old man smiled and said, "We are merely passing by. The vast disturbance of your Crossing Tribulation attracted it. Additionally, the pure Heavenly Earthly Spiritual Qi from a successful Crossing Tribulation was irresistible to it, leading it to act against you. For that, I somewhat apologize."

Lin Chen was even more surprised. The way he spoke, it was as if he was apologizing on behalf of the Sea Demon outside?

Lin Chen’s first thought upon seeing the boat was that someone else had been swallowed by the Sea Demon and lived there because they couldn’t escape due to their lack of strength. But now, it felt like he was on the same side as the Sea Demon?

"Senior, is this Sea Demon yours?"

The old man smiled and replied, "It’s not about ownership. We are friends. I hide in here to avoid the suffering of the Spiritual Energy Tides, which is rather comfortable."

Hiding inside the belly of a Sea Demon to avoid Spiritual Energy Tides?

What a talent!

Lin Chen secretly admired, "Senior truly conducts himself in a remarkable and unique manner... Since you and the one outside are friends, could you send a message and let me leave?"

The old man laughed, "Anyone who comes here is a person of destiny. I see your Strength is quite formidable, yet your age is still young. I wonder from which sect are you a disciple?"

Lin Chen replied honestly, "A disciple of the Sea God Sect, Chen Fan, at your service, Senior. I was a Loose Cultivator before joining the Sea God Sect."

The old man nodded slightly, "Have you committed some offense?"

After Lin Chen briefly explained his situation, he suddenly felt a hunch and cautiously asked, "Senior, is the Sea Demon outside by any chance a giant turtle?"

"Yes," the old man replied succinctly, "one of a kind."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, staring at the old man in astonishment. Could this person be the former Sect Hierarch of the Sea God Sect, the one Shangguan Wenyin was seeking?

"Senior, might I know your esteemed name?"

The old man’s eyes flashed like lightning, his voice turning cold, "You seem to have some ideas, don’t you?"

Lin Chen’s heart raced; Mom, what luck I’ve stumbled upon!

I was just quietly hoping to find a secluded place to advance a level, how did I hit the jackpot?

In the past, many sought to hunt the giant turtle, only to vanish from the human world. Could they all have perished at the hands of the person in front of me?

Trouble indeed!

Lin Chen clasped his hands together, "If I’m not mistaken, Senior must be the former Hierarch?"

"Hmm?"

The old man’s eyes narrowed slightly, the sharpness within them like a blade’s edge, "How do you know of my identity, are you also sent by that fellow to find me?"

That fellow?

Could he be referring to the current Sect Hierarch of the Sea God Sect?

Why does this seem so full of hidden agendas?

Were all those who attempted to intercept the giant turtle in the past sent by the current Hierarch to find the old Hierarch, trying to get to him through the giant turtle, and the old Hierarch sent them to meet Yama?

Lin Chen quickly denied, "I am a Subordinate of the Saint Child; he is currently in the Kutuo Sea, looking for you..."
