Chapter 2555: Chapter 2575: Go Your Own Way, Take Your Time to Retire

Immortal Leisure Island.

As soon as Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao landed on the island, they saw Yao Xuanji flying over like a bolt of lightning, overjoyed to see them.

"Brother!"

Lin Chen immediately hugged Yao Xuanji and said with a laugh, "It’s been a long time, is everyone well?"

Yao Xuanji pouted, "You all ran off, leaving me alone on the island to keep watch. It’s too mean!"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Isn’t Jia Xue with you?"

Yao Xuanji blinked and whispered, "Elder sister Jia Xue left me a letter and sneaked away."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Where did she go?"

"She didn’t say."

Yao Xuanji replied, "She only said that her cultivation had hit a bottleneck, she’s gone to find a way to break through it. She told me to tell you not to worry about her. It might take a while, but she will be back after she’s done."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly, knowing that the women around him were all very decisive and weren’t the type to rely on a man for survival. He couldn’t stop them from doing what they wanted to do.

"Have Yue Yue and Nalan not come back either?"

"Not yet."

Yao Xuanji answered helplessly, "I’m the only one on the island. Luckily I have Mi Xiaowan and the others for company, or I’d be so lonely."

Of course, when she mentioned being alone, she meant her family and sisters, not to forget others like Lu Yao, Mi Xiaowan, Elder Lei and so on.

"Is everyone else okay?"

Yao Xuanji nodded, "They’re fine."

What Lin Chen was referring to were their Longevity Lamps. Including Lin Chen himself, each person had a Longevity Lamp at home, which served as a safety beacon.

As long as the Longevity Lamp burned bright, it meant its owner was safe and sound. If the lamplight turned faint and flickering, it indicated that the person had suffered serious injuries and was in critical condition, possibly on the brink of death. If the light went out, it would mean that the person had died.

Out of the lakeside Wooden House, Lu Yao stepped out and glanced at Lin Chen, his eyes showing a trace of surprise.

This kid has increased his strength by quite a lot!

He’s reached the stage of Daluo Ultimate Immortal now, hasn’t he?

He only left for a few years in The World, and he has made such tremendous progress?

Lu Yao clearly remembered that the last time Lin Chen left Immortal Leisure Island for the Blue God Sect, he had just entered the Five Realm. Now, after just around four years in The World, Lin Chen had actually become a Daluo Ultimate Immortal.

Ordinary Cultivators, let alone making a breakthrough, even advancing from the Five Realm to its peak would probably take several decades, or even a hundred years, right?

It’s really mysterious how this kid cultivates.

Lin Chen waved at Lu Yao and greeted, "Old Lu, long time no see."

Lu Yao said with a laugh, "You’ve improved a lot."

Lin Chen laughed, "Just luck, luck. It was a narrow escape from death, almost didn’t make it back."

Lu Yao asked curiously, "With all the methods you have, and all the tokens from top powerhouses you carry, who could trouble you?"

"The Sea God."

Everyone here was family, so naturally, there was no need for any secrets.

As soon as these words came out, both Lu Yao and Yao Xuanji’s expressions changed.

Yao Xuanji asked in astonishment, "The Sect Hierarch of the Sea God Sect?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Yao Xuanji said in shock, "How did you end up confronting the Sea God? Aren’t you a disciple of the Dragon Mountain Sect? If the Sea God wanted to kill you, wouldn’t they fear starting a war between the sects?"

Lin Chen narrated the whole event, and Lu Yao and Yao Xuanji listened with changed expressions.

Yao Xuanji said in shock, "That True Person Tai Xu is incredibly powerful, isn’t he? The Sea God was actually suppressed and killed on the spot by him?"

Lu Yao had a bitter smile on his face and shook his head without saying a word.

Back in the Secret Realm, Lu Yao witnessed the avatar of True Person Tai Xu in action. Back then, angered by True Person Tai Xu "seizing" the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, he had once said that if the day came, he would seek justice from True Person Tai Xu.

Now, hearing Lin Chen’s story about how True Person Tai Xu crossed the Star River in an instant and suppressed the Sea God with a backhand strike, he knew there was an insurmountable chasm between his own strength and that of True Person Tai Xu.

He certainly wasn’t a match for the Sea God, and yet, the Sea God was so easily suppressed; what was he in comparison?

Indeed, there’s always someone stronger out there.

Seeing the bitter expression on Lu Yao’s face, Lin Chen guessed what he was thinking and said with a laugh, "True Person Tai Xu is a Quasi-Saint, and his innate path is that of space. Naturally, he cannot be compared to ordinary Daluo Ultimate Immortals. Old Lu, don’t take it to heart."

Lu Yao nodded and said with a laugh, "You really have quite the ability. Last time, it was the Quasi-Saint Luo Hongdan, and this time, it’s Quasi-Saint True Person Tai Xu who directly annihilated the Sea God. Who will it be next time?"

Lin Chen replied with a wry smile, "Now I’ve used up my biggest Hidden Card. Next time, if I wander too far, even my Master and the others might not be able to help me, and I could end up dead."

Lu Yao frowned, "Where are you planning to go?"

Lin Chen answered, "I’m planning to take a trip to Western Hell..."

Lin Chen explained why he wanted to go to Western Hell, and Lu Yao offered, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Forget it. The journey is my own to walk. Old Lu, you just keep enjoying your retirement here!"
