The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 935 Looking Across the Wilderness, Immortal Fate is Paramount
"Senior sister!"

Lin Chen excitedly pushed open the gate of the cliffside cabin, but the cabin was empty.

There was a piece of paper stuck on the door.

"Lin Chen, I'm going out on business. Your mother is staying in your cave, so you can stay here. The outermost room is all set up for you."

Lin Chen was immediately quite disappointed.

Unbeknownst to him, he had come to regard Qiao Wei as his closest relative. The first thing he did upon returning was to see her, wanting to give her the true dragon blood, tell her his experiences, and hear a few words of praise from her.

Unfortunately, she had already gone out.

Lin Chen pushed open the door to the room on the far side. The storage room, which used to be filled with all sorts of things, had now been cleaned up and tidy.

The room was furnished with a bed, wardrobe, table, and chairs; the blankets were new, and everything was neat and tidy.

Lin Chen sighed and closed the door.

Let's go see Mother first.

Feng Lan was very happy to see Lin Chen return.

Lin Chen had a meal with Feng Lan and chatted for a while before heading straight to Jingkong Mountain.

Lin Chen landed in front of his master's hut and bowed, saying, "Master, your disciple Lin Chen requests an audience."

The door opened, and Shi Changsheng appeared in the doorway.

"You're back! You've caused quite a stir this time."

Lin Chen chuckled and flew over a jar of true dragon blood: "Master, you've gone to great lengths to have my eldest and second senior brothers stand up for me. Otherwise, I don't know how badly I would have been bullied. I have nothing else to offer, so please accept this jar of true dragon blood."

"True dragon blood?"

Shi Changsheng's expression changed slightly: "You've found the soul of the true dragon?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "I was almost killed. Master, please sit down and let me tell you the story from the beginning..."

Lin Chen recounted everything that had happened to him since he left Nanyue. This time, he didn't even hide the secrets of the Life Pearl, Shrinking Earth to an Inch, and the Human Emperor's Seal.

Lin Chen was initially worried that Shi Changsheng would blame him for concealing the truth, but after listening quietly, he simply smiled and said calmly, "It seems that my previous assessment of you was indeed correct. Your talent is nothing special, but your luck is extraordinary."

"You escaped the Five Elements Immortal Palace, from which no one could escape; you escaped the Valley of Death, from which no one could escape; you escaped the pursuit of the True Dragon, and you even encountered the Forbidden Spirit Palace, which the True Dragon had never seen in the secret realm for ten thousand years..."

Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "I was in a terrible state, but I survived by sheer luck."

Shi Changsheng laughed and said, "As long as your luck is strong enough, you will experience all kinds of miraculous encounters and dangers without dying. Looking at those with great luck in history, they are almost all the same."

"I never imagined that a disciple I casually took on would become a candidate for the Human Emperor. It seems that my Nanyue lineage will have another monstrous disciple."

"By the way, let me take a look at that Eight Desolations Dragon Suppressing Sword."

Lin Chen took out a black greatsword and handed it to Shi Changsheng with both hands.

After studying it for a while, Shi Changsheng returned the sword to Lin Chen: "Only immortals can wield it; cultivators will find it like scrap metal. Hmm, it's tough enough though..."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Second Senior Brother said the same thing. It's like giving ordinary people magic weapons; they look nice but aren't very useful."

Shi Changsheng smiled and said, "You have a great affinity for immortality. Perhaps you will be able to find a way to use it in the future."

Lin Chen blinked: "A predestined affinity with immortals?"

Shi Changsheng nodded: "You first contacted the Five Elements Immortal Palace, then traveled to the Valley of Death through the Void Gate, where you met Jiang Rukong, who had been immortal for ten thousand years, and saw the destroyed Immortal Realm Heaven-Connecting Array. Afterwards, you confirmed the connection between the Immortal Realm, the Gate, the Bridge, etc., through the True Dragon, and connected all of this together."

"Although everything is still far from ascending to immortality, you are the person who has had the closest and most contact with immortals in the entire Wilderness Realm. Haven't you seen so many sect leaders listening to your stories respectfully?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's all thanks to my second senior brother cheering me on. Otherwise, those people would probably have grabbed me and searched my soul to make sure I didn't say anything I didn't know."

Shi Changsheng nodded: "That's possible. Many old guys in the Void Realm are nearing the end of their lives. If they can't find a way to ascend to immortality, they will die. In order to survive, they would not hesitate to kill a city, let alone kill a person."

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "Are all cultivators like this? In order to survive, would they harm or even kill others without any psychological barriers?"

Shi Changsheng said calmly, "Who wants to die? Whether you're an unknown nobody or a powerful and famous figure, who isn't afraid of death?"

"The difference is that ordinary people, when faced with death, even if they are afraid, can only passively accept it, while great people can make many attempts and efforts, hoping to defy fate."

"The cultivation world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world. The weak are like ants. What does killing a few people matter?"
