Chapter 2703: Chapter 2723: Going to Great Lengths to Catch a Minor Henchman, Not Worth It!

"He is Demon Emperor Kong Ling. We became acquainted through conflict, and I found a body for him to switch into, thus returning your body to you."

Lin Chen pointed to the smiling Kong Ling next to him, "We can consider ourselves friends now."

Lin Yuan looked at Kong Ling next to him in shock. Was this the Demon Emperor who seized his body and suppressed his spirit?

His son became friends with him through combat?

Had Lin Chen become so powerful that he could fight with a Demon Emperor?

Kong Ling laughed heartily, "His memories are still stuck in the Barren Wilderness. Lin Yuan, although I occupied your body, you should thank me. If it hadn’t been for me, you would have died in Yin Yang Valley."

"Over these years, while I was using your body, I continued my cultivation and have now reached the Daluo Ultimate Immortal stage. Oh, you might not know what that means. After ascending from the Void stage to the rank of a Human Immortal, one becomes an Earth Immortal, a True Immortal, a Golden Immortal, a Fairy, and only then does one advance to Daluo Mysterious Immortal, and Daluo Ultimate Immortal. Now that I’ve returned your body to you, you’ve gotten a huge bargain!"

"Of course, this bargain wasn’t for nothing. Thanks to your extraordinary son, if he hadn’t rebuilt the Ascension Channel in the Barren Wilderness, all the cultivators there would have been unable to ascend to immortality. I, as the Demon Emperor, would still be fighting to the death with the Human Emperor—your son—in the Barren Wilderness."

Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

Becoming an Immortal?

And a Daluo Immortal at that?

His son paved the way for the entire Barren Wilderness to ascend?

Was he really that powerful?

Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of something and asked with a hint of alarm, "How many years have I been asleep?"

The story outlined by Kong Ling in just a few words was enough to instill fear in Lin Yuan. Had he been asleep for tens of thousands of years?

Lin Chen took Lin Yuan’s hand and gently consoled him, "Dad, don’t worry. It’s only been several decades since we last saw each other. Mother is still doing well, only she’s not yet strong enough to come to the Immortal Realm. She’s still in the Barren Wilderness, but we can go back at any time."

Several decades?

Lin Yuan’s eyes widened. In the span of several decades, you became a Daluo Immortal?

"Where are we now?"

Lin Chen answered, "We’re in the Southern Wilderness of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain. If you’re feeling well, I’ll take the time to tell you everything, starting from my earliest memories in the Human World."

Lin Yuan nodded firmly, "I’m fine, better than ever before!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Okay, then I’ll make you a cup of tea, and we can talk while we drink. This is going to be a long story."

Lin Yuan’s eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, filled with remorse.

His son was now extremely formidable, having achieved a level of power that Lin Yuan couldn’t even begin to grasp, but what Lin Yuan saw, and thought about, was the challenging life Lin Chen led growing up alone in the human world.

He had brought him into this world, yet he had failed in his duties as a father!

In his life, he had neither a father nor a mother!

All of it was his own fault!

Seeing the look in Lin Yuan’s eyes and guessing his thoughts, Lin Chen smiled slightly, "Dad, it’s alright, that’s all in the past now. Finally, our family can be reunited."

Lin Chen took Lin Yuan from their residence to the lakeside, where they set up a table and chairs and began to boil water for tea.

The tea was ready, white mist rising, fragrance filling the air, and Lin Chen began to tell the story of his life.

Lin Yuan held the teacup, listening very carefully.

The two sat on the chairs by the lakeside, one speaking, the other listening, their figures in perfect harmony.

Time did not exist in the world within the Tower, so it was impossible to know just how long the storytelling lasted.

Finally, after hearing the entire story, Lin Yuan took a long time to digest it all, eventually understanding everything thoroughly.

"So you’ve not only offended the Myriad Immortal Hall but also the Barbarian King’s Palace..."

Lin Chen replied unconcernedly, "Yes, but it’s fine. Once I have dealt with my current affairs, I can go to the Crimson Immortal Domain. I have the Jade Star Lord and Shepherd Heavenly Monarch there to support me, so there shouldn’t be much trouble."

After a pause, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The trip to the Crimson Immortal Domain isn’t urgent. Now that you’re awake, Dad, naturally, I should first take you back to the Barren Wilderness to reunite with Mother..."

Lin Yuan asked, "How long does it take to go from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain back to the Thunder Immortal Domain?"

Lin Chen answered, "It took us five years to come here from the God Falling Immortal Domain to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain; I guess it will take about the same amount of time to return to the Thunder Immortal Domain."

"Five years, ten years for a round trip..."

Lin Yuan shook his head, "That’s too much of a delay."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Immortals have long lifespans. Spending ten or even several decades on a journey is common. Ten years is not long. Besides, as father and son, we will be traveling together; we won’t be lonely on the road."

Lin Yuan thought, and indeed, cultivation is important, but what is that compared to a family reunion?

Now that Lin Yuan’s soul had returned to its rightful place, he needed a significant amount of time for fusion and balance to match his soul with the body of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal. Having the body of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal didn’t mean he was one yet. He needed time to find equilibrium.

This matter was very important, but Lin Yuan didn’t mind. Right now, he only wanted to return to the Barren Wilderness, to be with his wife.

After hearing his son’s past experiences, he could completely imagine how desperate and sad his wife must have been during the years of his absence!

"Where are you planning to go now?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I came to the Southern Wilderness to find Kong Ling and achieve Spirit Separation, which I have now accomplished. There’s no need for me to stay any longer. I’ve toyed with Zhong Minchun, and she’s probably fuming right now. The Barbarian King’s Palace will definitely communicate with the Myriad Immortal Hall, and once they discover my false identity, they will likely issue a warrant for me, so it’s the perfect time to leave."

"I’ll head back to our home on the North Sea Immortal Leisure Island to see Jia Xue and the others, decide on the future journey, and then we can head home. Once we return from our reunion, I probably won’t come back to the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain. After all, I have offended quite a few people here, and it wouldn’t take much to find trouble."

"Dad, don’t worry. You can stay inside the Tower during this time, rest well, and merge with your soul, so you can adapt to your body as soon as possible."

Lin Yuan looked at Lin Chen, mature and confident, with mixed emotions—feelings of guilt, but also of pride.

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Lin Yuan asked with some concern, "The Myriad Immortal Hall and Barbarian King’s Palace are both looking for you. How will you avoid their pursuit?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s quite simple. We’ll hide in the Linglong Tower and hire someone to carry the Tower through a Domain Gate. The Linglong Tower can block all senses. No one will be able to find us."

"Our roots aren’t here. Even if they are intent on pursuing, they won’t find our relatives and can’t use techniques like the Bloodline Guidance Technique to track us. So, even though the Myriad Immortal Hall and Barbarian King’s Palace are formidable, if I’m determined to hide, they can’t do anything to me."

"Moreover, even if they have some mysterious techniques, they would be costly to use. In their eyes, I’m just an insignificant underling. Would those Quasi-Saints really go to war over me? It’s not worth it and would be undignified, wouldn’t it?"

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That’s good. What about Kong Ling? He’s assumed the identity of the War Hall Master of the Myriad Immortal Hall, so he probably can’t stay in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain either, right?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "He’s smart, definitely has his own plan. We don’t need to worry about him!"
