Chapter 1572: I Didn't Gain Any Opportunities in the Chaotic Sea
After Immortal Venerable Yun Meng finished speaking, she transmitted a message to Immortal Venerable Heavenly Language, "Junior Sister, have Lu Chen come to Yun Meng Hall."
Upon hearing the transmission from Immortal Venerable Yun Meng, Immortal Venerable Heavenly Language was slightly displeased. Immortal Venerable Yun Meng had known Lu Chen's identity earlier than she did, yet she never told her, always putting on a pretense of transmitting a message to her first whenever she sought Lu Chen, making it seem as if she truly was Lu Chen's Honored Master.
She could find Lu Chen anyway, why even bother to tell her?
Anyway, Lu Chen as a Direct Disciple was just nominal to her; she never taught Lu Chen anything.
Immortal Venerable Heavenly Language then transmitted a message, "If the Palace Master wants to find him, just speak with him directly."
At this point, Immortal Venerable Heavenly Language transmitted a message to Lu Chen, "The Palace Master is looking for you."
Just upon hearing Immortal Venerable Heavenly Language's transmission, Lu Chen had not yet reacted when darkness fell over his eyes, and his body was pulled into a Space Rift by a force.
When light reappeared before Lu Chen's eyes, he was already in Yun Meng Hall.
Seeing another unknown Immortal Venerate besides Immortal Venerable Yun Meng in the great hall, Lu Chen was a bit curious about what Immortal Venerable Yun Meng was looking for him today.
Lu Chen feigned respect and said, "Greetings to the Palace Master."
"May I ask the reason the Palace Master has summoned this disciple?"
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng did not answer Lu Chen's question; she directly condensed the memory of her conversation with Star River Immortal Venerate into a Memory Pearl and, with a flick of her finger, sent that Memory Pearl onto Lu Chen's forehead.
Once the Memory Pearl entered Lu Chen's forehead, he immediately understood the cause and effect. However, at this moment, he was even more confused; he didn't expect the man sitting inconspicuously in the great hall to be Star River Hall's Hall Master, Star River Immortal Venerate.
The Heavenly Splendor Hall was considered his nemesis, yet now the Hall Master of the Heavenly Splendor Hall had come personally, and Immortal Venerable Yun Meng was even handing him over.
But it was understandable. If the content of the memory he just saw was true, if disaster truly was looming over Tianyan Immortal Domain, then Star River Immortal Venerate might indeed lower his face to seek him personally.
Immortal Venerable Yun Meng at this moment asked, "You have spent billions of years in the Chaotic Sea, surely you've come across quite a few opportunities. We will not ask about your opportunities, but I want to know if any of your opportunities are related to that Mysterious Power?"
"You should have seen the Anomaly that appeared last time in Tianyan Immortal Domain, and likely sensed the aura of that Mysterious Power."
Having read the memory of Immortal Venerable Yun Meng and Star River Immortal Venerate's conversation, Lu Chen knew they were trying to find a way to restrain that Mysterious Power.
To be honest, Lu Chen also first sensed that Mysterious Power when he was in the Northern Domain last time. As for whether the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture had any effect on that Mysterious Power, he himself was not sure, as he hadn't tried.
Besides the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture and a few other Cultivation Techniques to restrain Heavenly Demon Power, he had no other means to counteract evil forces.
As for the low-grade artifact he previously obtained from the system capable of restraining evil forces, it was only effective inside the Chaos Beast's belly; outside of it, that low-grade artifact became ineffective.
Seeing Lu Chen remain silent, Star River Immortal Venerate actively spoke, "Chen King, there were misunderstandings between the Heavenly Splendor Hall and you. Back then, it was Wuya Immortal Venerable who insisted on putting you to death. I was in closed retreat and unaware of these matters. Had I known of the presence of a prodigy like you, I would have done everything possible to recruit you into the Heavenly Splendor Hall and certainly would not have sent people to hunt you down."
"Currently, it's Wuya Immortal Venerable who is the one being corroded by the Mysterious Power, so if you have a way to counteract the Mysterious Power, do let us know. Once we join forces to eliminate him, it would also count as avenging you."
"The grievances between you and the Heavenly Splendor Hall will thus be settled, and henceforth, the Heavenly Splendor Hall will not trouble you again. What do you say?"
Upon hearing Star River Immortal Venerate's words, Lu Chen internally scoffed. Star River Immortal Venerate indeed played the game well, although it was true that the one who acted against him was Wuya Immortal Venerable, but he didn't believe that Star River Immortal Venerate, as Hall Master, had no knowledge of it.
Star River Immortal Venerate now said these words merely to see if he had a method to deal with the Mysterious Power.
The grievances between him and the Heavenly Splendor Hall would naturally not be resolved so easily; however, if the Mysterious Power was truly a harbinger of disaster, being a resident of Tianyan Immortal Domain, he would do his utmost to contribute.
Unfortunately, at present, he indeed did not have any known methods to combat that Mysterious Power.
Lu Chen then said, "Well then, many thanks to Star River Hall Master."
One doesn't hit the smiling face; Lu Chen still had to show a little courtesy.
Lu Chen continued, "However, the greatest opportunity I obtained in the Chaotic Sea was perhaps this Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture."
Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng and Star River Immortal Venerate both wore more serious expressions, clearly not believing Lu Chen's words.
The Chaotic Sea was boundless; Lu Chen spent billions of years there, how could it be that he only obtained this single Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique?
Having never entered the Chaotic Sea themselves, they were filled with various fantasies about it. Coupled with the fact that an Immortal Emperor went into the Chaotic Sea and never emerged, not only Immortal Venerable Yun Meng and Star River Immortal Venerate but most Immortals in Tianyan Immortal Domain believed that the Chaotic Sea was filled with various opportunities.
Even if at first there were no opportunities in the Chaotic Sea, the relics left by an Immortal Emperor would still count as opportunities.
Knowing that the two didn't believe him, Lu Chen actively condensed the memories related to the Chaos Beast into two Memory Pearls, then used immortal power to maneuver the Memory Pearls to the front of Star River Immortal Venerate and Immortal Venerable Yun Meng.
"These are some memories of this junior in the Chaotic Sea. If you don't believe me, you may read these memories."
In the Memory Pearls, Lu Chen had naturally cleared away all traces related to the system, replacing it with a strand of Divine Thought guiding him to grow stronger.
Star River Immortal Venerate and Immortal Venerable Yun Meng, with doubtful expressions, activated the Memory Pearls from Lu Chen, and upon reading his memories within the Chaos Beast's belly, both were stunned.
Were there truly creatures in the Chaotic Sea capable of resisting the erosion of Chaos Qi?
After the initial shock, their emotions became complex. From Lu Chen's memories, it seemed he spent billions of years inside the Chaos Beast; his ability to leave its belly wasn't due to an opportunity but relied on the Demon Emperor's power.
The appearance of the Demon Emperor in Lu Chen's Memory Pearls also left them greatly surprised, no wonder that Lu Chen's return time was similar to the Demon Emperor's return to Tianyan Immortal Domain.
After a long silence, Immortal Venerable Yun Meng said to Star River Immortal Venerate, "Maybe the Immortal Venerate eroded by the Mysterious Power is not wary of what Lu Chen possesses but simply wants to stir up battlefields, plunging Tianyan Immortal Domain into chaos."
Upon hearing Immortal Venerable Yun Meng's words, Star River Immortal Venerate's brows furrowed in confusion; he still felt something was amiss.
