Chapter 2556: Chapter 2576: Leave it to the wife first; the meat must fall apart in the pot!

Although Lin Chen and others had previously discovered a healing location in the Roulette Secret Realm, Lu Yao did not go.

He chose to recover slowly.

Although the probability was very small, he didn’t want to be caught by Luo Hongdan and turned into a laborer without any hope of rising again.

Lin Chen supported Lu Yao’s decision.

A hundred years is just a blink of an eye, there’s no need to gamble with fate, what if he did encounter her again and was captured by Luo Hongdan?

Luo Hongdan might let our group go for Qi’s sake, but she might not extend the same courtesy to Lu Yao; after all, I have no face in front of Luo Hongdan, she even thought about taking me out conveniently.

Luo Hongdan felt that I was not worthy to be the master of the Linglong Tower.

Lu Yao was not reluctant either, he had recovered quite a bit by now and could manage to act, but should he really encounter a Daluo Initial Immortal, his ability to fight vigorously might still not be enough.

He also agreed with Lin Chen’s words, the Cultivation Path should be walked by oneself; relying on the protection of others will not lead to greatness.

Yao Xuanji asked in confusion, "Aren’t you the Sea God now? Isn’t cultivation with the power of Vows supposed to reduce bottlenecks? The Western Hell is quite hostile toward the Human Clan, it’s quite dangerous for you to go there. Why not cultivate first, improve your strength, and then go when you’re more powerful? It’s not like you’re in a hurry, right?"

Lin Chen said with a bitter smile as he took out the Sea God’s Seal: "To be acknowledged by the Sea God’s Seal is to be the Sea God and to be able to use all the abilities of the Sea God’s Seal. Secondly, one must be acknowledged by the Sea God Sect to possibly acquire the power of Vows..."

"The Sea God’s Seal does not recognize me, so it’s impossible for me to become the Sea God, let alone use the Sea God’s Seal for cultivation."

Yao Xuanji exclaimed in surprise, "It doesn’t recognize you?"

Lin Chen placed the Sea God’s Seal in Yao Xuanji’s hands: "Try it for yourself, and you’ll understand what I mean."

Yao Xuanji, holding the Sea God’s Seal, hesitated: "What if... it accepts me?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If it accepts you, then you’re the Sea God. What’s the difference between me being the Sea God and you being the Sea God? It’s the same as the meat that is rotting in the pot."

Yao Xuanji thought about it and felt it made sense. Since Lin Chen was already sure that he couldn’t get the Seal’s approval, why shouldn’t he give it a try? There was no harm in trying.

Yao Xuanji held the Sea God’s Seal, extending his senses into it; a few seconds later, Yao Xuanji suddenly cried out in alarm.

Everyone’s gaze focused on Yao Xuanji’s face, curious.

Yao Xuanji explained with his face flushed red, "I seemed to have instantly connected with its spiritual world. I saw the vast ocean; I felt like it saw right through me..."

Yao Xuanji pouted: "Then it bounced my perception away and tossed it right out."

Lin Chen could not help but laugh: "You understand our feeling now, right?"

Yao Xuanji nodded: "Wenyao has tried it too?"

Shang Wenyao hummed, her gaze fleeting with a peculiar luster.

The Sea God’s Seal had been gifted to Lin Chen by True Person Tai Xu, and, after being rejected by it, Lin Chen immediately had her try it. Wasn’t he afraid that she would be accepted by chance?

Even though they were friends, when it came down to it, after being rejected himself, Lin Chen should have let his wives try it.

She was chosen second... and even before Lin Chen’s wives...

Would Yao Xuanji overthink it?

Clearly, Yao Xuanji didn’t overthink it. Perhaps after many years of being together, she regarded Shang Wenyao as part of the family; she said in surprise, "It really does choose its own master. Senior Lu, why don’t you give it a try?"

Lu Yao took the Sea God’s Seal but did not rush to extend his senses, seemingly hesitant.

Lin Chen joked, "No one knows that I have the Sea God’s Seal in my possession, and for now, I don’t plan on returning it to the Sea God Sect, at least not until all our people have tried it. If it works for no one, then we can think about how to make a deal with the Sea God Sect to get a satisfactory benefit."

"My life was almost lost, and I had to use my strongest hidden card to obtain it; I can’t just give it back for nothing, right?"

Lin Chen’s relationship with Shangguan Wenyin might be good, but that’s different from favors.

Even if Lin Chen doesn’t return it, Shangguan Wenyin couldn’t say anything.

Lu Yao nodded and started to release his perception.

After a while, Lu Yao laughed and let go.

"The same for me."

Lin Chen took back the Sea God’s Seal and casually tossed it in his palm, handing it back to Yao Xuanji.

"You keep it; later, when everyone has tried and if it still doesn’t work, hold on to it. When they come back, let them have a try."

Yao Xuanji said in surprise, "Isn’t the Sea God’s Seal an Innate Spiritual Treasure? Even though you can’t use it for cultivation, you can still use it for fighting, right?"

Lin Chen laughed and replied, "I thought the same before, but after thinking it carefully, it’s not quite right. The Sea God’s Seal might be an Attack Treasure with great power, but this form and attack mode can’t fool anyone."

"If I use it to fight with others, in a minute I could be recognized. If someone then informs the Sea God Sect, wouldn’t I be in trouble?"

"Let’s keep it on the island for now. When they return, let everyone try. If it doesn’t work, then think about how to deal with it. Wenyao is coming with me; she’s a Top-Grade Daluo Supreme Immortal. If she can’t handle it, even if I had the Sea God’s Seal, it would be useless..."

Yao Xuanji acknowledged with an "oh": "Wenyao is going with you to Western Hell?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Yao Xuanji’s eyes revealed a subtle expression, smiling slightly: "Wenyao, I’m counting on you."

Faced with Yao Xuanji, Shang Wenyao felt somewhat embarrassed and quickly replied: "Lin Chen has helped me so much; now I’m just trying to repay some of that favor to the best of my ability. Xuanji, don’t worry, I will do my best to protect him..."
