Chapter 422 - 134: Shipwreck, Lin Chen’s Good Fortune

Lin Chen didn’t know how long it had been, perhaps he was already dead.

In the absence of the five senses, he couldn’t even feel the existence of his own life.

As if after death, falling into unconscious, endless darkness.

One day, two days...

Until one moment, Lin Chen seemed to hear a voice ringing by his ear.

"Child, wake up..."

"Wake up..."

Lin Chen desperately struggled, like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

A passage seemed to appear before his eyes, the passage was dark.

But at the end of the passage, there was a door emitting a faint light.

Lin Chen used all his strength to run toward the door.

He opened the door and rushed out in one breath...

...

At the same time, in a certain room.

Lin Chen, lying on the bed, furrowed his brow slightly, showing an expression of slight pain.

Amidst the violent shaking of his body, he seemed to regain a bit of consciousness.

By his ear, a crisp bell-like sound rang.

"Grandpa, this person has woken up!"

Then, there were several footsteps and the sound of a door closing.

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, light re-entered them.

He saw the situation around him clearly.

This was a small enclosed room, not large, only about one zhang in circumference.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of wood.

There was no furniture, but it was very clean.

Lin Chen lay on a bed, and before him was a small window one foot wide.

Lin Chen looked out through the transparent window, at the surging sea surface.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently.

Lin Chen had no strength at all, almost fell off the bed.

But a cold strong hand supported Lin Chen’s body.

"Uncle Wang?!"

Lin Chen was startled for a moment, this person was Wang Lishan.

But at second glance, Lin Chen noticed something peculiar.

It was a Martial Arts Puppet, only in Wang Lishan’s appearance.

Lin Chen slightly relaxed, with a bit of safety in his heart.

With the help of the Martial Arts Puppet, he struggled to lean against the bed.

At this moment he had no strength at all, even his Divine Sense was exhausted.

As if a mortal with no cultivation whatsoever...

Lin Chen’s ear picked up the voice of the Martial Arts Puppet.

"Lin Chen, you have awakened."

"You were unconscious for a full one hundred and fifty-two days."

"During this time, many things happened, which I can’t explain to you at the moment..."

"But you are, at least temporarily, safe."

Lin Chen slightly frowned, then saw the Martial Arts Puppet took out a pill from a hidden compartment in its body.

Lin Chen sniffed it, it was a good healing pill.

After taking it, Lin Chen felt his body regain a bit of strength.

After observing his surroundings, Lin Chen roughly made a guess.

"I...I’m still alive, the immediate priority is to first have the power to protect myself..."

Lin Chen felt a great discomfort in his heart, like someone wrapped and bound by layers.

He, a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, a Martial King Powerhouse, now weak as a mortal.

This great sense of disparity made Lin Chen somewhat uncomfortable.

But fortunately, his cultivation wasn’t destroyed, only all the True Essence in his body was drained.

Lin Chen attempted to run the Evergreen Technique for a moment.

Silken strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy were reabsorbed, entering Lin Chen’s Dantian.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Chen had regained the strength of the Qi Refining Stage.

Though still very weak, it gave Lin Chen a bit of safety.

At the same time, Lin Chen continued to hear the voice of the Martial Arts Puppet by his ear.

"Lin Chen, I don’t know what you encountered."

"But one hundred and fifty-two days ago, when you returned to Blue Star you were in a drowning state."

"A large volume of seawater returned with your body."

"Therefore, the expert team quickly realized your plight, providing you with an emergency maritime rescue device and a survival raft."

"Of course, there were also several Martial Arts Puppets... these materials were transmitted using your Transmigration Attribute."

Lin Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.

His Transmigration Ability was quite miraculous, even in an unconscious state, he and any inanimate objects he touched would transmigrate together.

This indeed saved him, otherwise he, a dignified Nascent Soul Cultivator, might have drowned in the ocean by now.

Lin Chen’s head ached greatly, he reached a hand up to rub his temples.

"So, what exactly happened?"

"I only remember, being chased by Demon Monarch Huiyue, I ran frantically..."

"But it seemed that all my senses gradually disappeared, I lost sight, hearing, Divine Sense, and even all senses..."

Lin Chen only remembered these, by the time he woke up again he was already in this room.

By his ear, the Martial Arts Puppet continued to explain, its voice returned through an earpiece into Lin Chen’s ear.

"Fortunately, the rescue device was useful."

"The second time you returned, you were still unconscious but alive."

"But the bad news is, you seemed to be under constant threat, surrounded by numerous sea beasts attacking you."

"During the forty-two days of drifting at sea, we dispatched a total of seventy-eight Martial Arts Puppets to protect you, they were all damaged..."

"Until, one hundred and ten days ago, your situation suddenly changed."

"Though you were still unconscious, your clothes changed, and the aura of seawater vanished."

"Someone fed you a pill..."

"The images returned by the Martial Arts Puppets showed you encountering a sea fleet."

Lin Chen nodded slightly, this matched his speculation.

"Your luck was truly good, this sea fleet had no malice towards you. They mistook the Martial Arts Puppets for Cultivators."

"And you, survived under the protection of this fleet."

"But we couldn’t provide further supplies or Puppet support for you. Only this Martial Arts Puppet was left to protect you..."

"Luckily, you have awakened."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen noticed the tiny expressions on the Martial Arts Puppet’s face, indistinguishable from a real person.

Behind him was a Magical Treasure that concealed heavenly secrets, even Nascent Soul Cultivators would find it hard to discern his identity.

"There are two days left before your next transmigration, most of your Magical Treasures and Storage Magical Artifacts are intact."

"You know what to do next..."

With that said, the Martial Arts Puppet continued to stand by Lin Chen’s side, expressionlessly gazing at the door.

Through the Martial Arts Puppet’s description, Lin Chen roughly understood his situation.

Lin Chen propped himself up, sitting on the bed.

Reaching out, he took the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd from the Puppet’s waist.

Fortunately, he had the protection of the Puppet.

The resources Lin Chen accumulated since embarking on cultivation were still intact.

However, this Martial Arts Puppet couldn’t use Magical Power, nor could it break the restrictions of Storage Magical Artifacts, nor use the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd.

With a slight infusion of Magical Power into the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, Lin Chen took out several healing pills, spirit liquids to restore True Essence...

Immediately after, a shadow appeared in the room.

This figure was so tall, it almost reached the ceiling of the room.

A Puppet, Luo Ming!

Lin Chen’s strongest Puppet, with strength close to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

The first thing Lin Chen did upon regaining consciousness naturally was to summon this Puppet, to have more power to protect himself.

Outside the door came the sound of hurried footsteps.

Soon, several people pushed the door open and entered, seeing the awake Lin Chen in the room.

Among them was a girl with a lovely face, looking about fifteen or sixteen, who was startled seeing Luo Ming added to the room.

"Ah! When did this person appear? He’s so tall!" The girl widened her eyes, with a dazed expression.

By her side were two Cultivators looking in their forties, and an elder who seemed on the brink of age.

Lin Chen glanced briefly over the elder, smiled and said:

"No need to panic. This is my Guardian Puppet..."
