The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 965 Are they going to force their way into Death Valley?

Jiang Rukong!
That eccentric middle-aged man was an ancestor of the ancient Jiang family, a person from ten thousand years ago!

Ten thousand years—the world changes in an instant; that's an incredibly long period of time.

How many years has human history been around?

The earliest records are only three or four thousand years old; before that, everything is relegated to myths and legends.

Although the history of the Wilderness Realm is even longer, ten thousand years is still a long time, and the changes are so great that people's memories of it have become blurred.

The great war between humans and demons, the powerful families that existed in ancient times—are these real events, or just legends passed down by word of mouth?

Now, someone who should have died ten thousand years ago has appeared alive!

Whether he's a celestial being or not is another matter, but he's a living fossil!

Because of the two true dragons in the True Dragon Secret Realm, everyone in the Wilderness Realm has confirmed the existence of the Immortal Realm, but how Jiang Rukong can live for ten thousand years is still the object of everyone's concern.

Moreover, Jiang Rukong appeared next to the severed Immortal Realm Heaven-Connecting Array. Could there be a connection between him and the immortal who broke through the passage between the two realms after tens of thousands of years?
How much does he know about this matter?

Finding him might unlock the history sealed for ten thousand years and unravel many hidden and lost stories, which are crucial for reopening the passage between the Wilderness Realm and the Immortal Realm!

Lin Chen had seen him once before in Death Valley, and then he disappeared without a trace. He never expected him to reappear now.

Where did he appear?

"Outside Death Valley".

Situ Xiu looked excited and longing: "Ever since you escaped from Death Valley and brought news that Jiang Rukong was still alive, people have been wandering around the outskirts of Death Valley. And since you came out of the True Dragon Secret Realm and confirmed the existence of the Immortal Realm and the existence of the Heaven-Reaching Formation that was cut open by the immortals in Death Valley, there are even more cultivators outside Death Valley."

“During this period, some cultivators even ventured into Death Valley, but they either dared not enter the core area or disappeared without a trace, presumably having encountered powerful enemies and died.”

“A month ago, many people saw Jiang Rukong outside Death Valley. He was so elusive that no one could catch him. He seemed to be searching for something, and he appeared in a daze many times.”

"After the news spread, countless sects and major factions dispatched their experts to Death Valley. I heard that they went there firstly to search for Jiang Rukong, and secondly to gather forces from all sides to explore Death Valley."

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "They're going to force their way into Death Valley?"

Situ Xiu nodded: "That's what I heard. Apparently, they haven't gone in yet. Those who arrived first are stationed outside Death Valley, searching for Jiang Rukong, while waiting for the arrival of experts from other sects. After all, Death Valley is no joke; any sect going in alone is practically committing suicide." Lin Chen immediately became interested: "So, if I rush over now, it might still be in time?"

Situ Xiu smiled and said, "It should be able to make it in time. After all, the Wilderness Realm is so vast. It will take time for the news to spread and for the sects to gather."

"Exploring Death Valley and examining the severed Heavenly Array is not a private matter that belongs to any particular sect, so there is no need for any sect to take the risk alone."

"Many hands make light work. Even if we encounter danger, we'll be better able to resist it. Even if we can't make it through Death Valley, it's still good to try to get out unscathed."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Situ Xiu smiled wryly and said, "One should know one's own limitations. With my limited strength, let alone the core, even the outer perimeter is fraught with danger. I should just live my own life. Ascension to immortality is too far away for me."

After Situ Xiu left, Lin Chen fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he made a decision!

Go check it out!
With so many sects acting together, how could I miss such a grand event? If something really happens, even if I'm not the fastest to escape, I'll definitely be among the first to get out.

Although Lin Chen's strength is still far from being able to ascend to immortality, extremely dangerous places are usually accompanied by great opportunities.

Top-grade elixirs, top-grade magical artifacts, ancient legacies...

Lin Chen is currently stuck at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. Although he still has three Enlightenment Fruits, he doesn't dare to use them because he has a feeling that if he can't find his direction, eating more Enlightenment Fruits will be useless.

Lin Chen returned the magma fire from the Earth's core to Su Mubai and told her about it.

"are you going?"

Su Mubai hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, I won't join in the fun. I've had some insights recently and I think I can make a breakthrough. I'll go into seclusion in peace."

Lin Chen nodded, not forcing the issue. After all, no one knew what dangers might arise when exploring Death Valley. Even Lin Chen couldn't guarantee that he would come back alive if he went in.

Throughout history, how many powerful cultivators or chosen ones have perished in various secret realms and perilous places?
Cultivators defy the heavens and live on the brink of death!

Lin Chen decided to get up immediately. Besides, once the news spread throughout the world, his senior brothers and sisters, and even his master, might rush over.
