besides me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting clueless, Lin Chen asked, “The one who can undergo the Immortal Ascension Ceremony, they must have a good Immortal Fate, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without much thought, Guo Jia casually replied, “That person was found outside by my command from the immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The test results of her Immortal Fate are very good, a strong red light, but it is still much less than yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Immortal Ascension Ceremony can only be performed on one person at a time, consuming countless resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it should be given first to the most suitable person with the best Immortal Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, by the rules, you’ll go first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a surprised look, Lin Chen said, “That’s great, thank you, envoy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia looked at Lin Chen with an admiring gaze, his eyes filled with obvious envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need for such formalities, in the future we’re all in this together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continue your drinks, I need to report back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Guo Jia left, the originally quiet scene suddenly became lively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two consecutive red lights for the Immortal Fate, such good luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Brother Lin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you become an Immortal, don’t forget about us, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd kept raising their glasses to Lin Chen, the scene was lively, but Lin Chen always felt that there was a hint of strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They indeed were celebrating, but they didn’t seem to be doing it for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although their mouths were congratulating him, there was a strange mutual understanding in their eyes, as if everyone understood except for Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen obligingly played along, his mind ardent with thought, speculating that all the peculiarities and changes must be related to the Immortal Ascension Ceremony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Substantial increase in power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming an Immortal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing people in from the outside, helping others increase their strength, and assisting them in becoming Immortals?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a good thing — surely it doesn’t exist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, everyone was intoxicated with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wu drank the most, his whole person looking incredibly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve waited so long, finally it’s happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, as long as the boss succeeds, we should also be able to leave here, I’m so happy today…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wu hadn’t finished speaking when the faces of the people around him suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man beside Li Wu quickly glanced at Lin Chen, grabbed Li Wu, and loudly said, “Who doesn’t want to leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But leaving would cause amnesia and life expectancy would decrease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you willing…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wu’s face was startled as if he had come to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He laughed, “Indeed, one cannot have both fish and bear’s paw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, I drank too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You guys drink, I’m going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen acted as if he had heard nothing and was having a great time chatting with Qian Yi and Zhao Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, great doubts began to rise in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Success?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who are their boss?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt more and more that this place was filled with strangeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone seemed to be very enthusiastic about him, appearing as warm-hearted people living in a Paradise on Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they all seemed to have an unspoken agreement to hide something from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Lin Chen couldn’t leave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had to find an opportunity to rescue Chu Jiaxue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he knew there was a conspiracy here, he could only stand firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, everyone here is half Immortal, and although he possessed powerful combat power, he couldn’t defeat a single one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen kept all his doubts at the bottom of his heart and settled down in Wuyou Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing happened that night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Zhao Ding came to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Immortal Ascension Ceremony will start in three days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen confirmed, “Will it be me first, or the other person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The immortal said, you have great hope of becoming an Immortal, and resources will be prioritized to be used on you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s smile was radiant, “Thank you so much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Ding laughed, “Your Immortal Fate is, even if you aren’t an Immortal yet, you’re already a half Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all part of the same family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need for such formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wandered around Wuyou Village, but found that the people who were very enthusiastic the day before seemed to suddenly become busy and disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Occasionally when he ran into someone, they would greet him and hurry off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early in the morning, Guo Jia and Zhao Ding came to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Immortal Ascension Ceremony is ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come with us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sorry for the trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen followed the two men as they rose into the air, crossing Wuyou Village, heading towards the back mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Chen was looking down, his scalp suddenly turned numb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the people who had disappeared before suddenly appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were standing at the entrance of their houses, looking at him with almost eerie smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep the fright in his heart, Lin Chen laughed, “Why is everyone outside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia glanced around and frowned, then turned to laugh, “They’re all envious of you, including me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all half Immortals, but not really Immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you have a great chance of becoming a true Immortal to transcend this world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen rubbed his hands together, “Thank you for the auspicious words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jia laughed, turned around, and continued leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Lin Chen saw a trace of subtle mockery in Guo Jia’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen felt heavy-hearted as he had a growing sense of him heading towards an abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking of Chu Jiaxue, a great courage surged in Lin Chen’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he was entering a dragon’s lair or a tiger’s den, he had to take a chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the three arrived at the back mountain, a giant cave entrance that was over a hundred meters high appeared in front of Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded his head, took a deep breath, and flew towards the giant cave, as if he was flying into the bloody mouth of a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>",1025,"2026-06-06T01:52:00.945Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea0559a2298fec2d5540fe07f0eab2fb1686f7c5a5640f583f55648f2ab5d948","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1279","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1277",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
