towards the seabed, captivated by the sight of the water on either side, resembling cliffs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could see a variety of marine life, an intriguing experience akin to touring the underwater world in the glass tunnel of a sea park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This descent was several kilometers long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone descended, the water behind them quickly roiled and closed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path extended under their feet, while the route behind them crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, as they dived deeper, the light at the seabed became increasingly dim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, light appeared in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A white light barrier at the seabed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearer they got, the larger the white light barrier seemed due to the closing distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the arrayed barrier of a city located on the seabed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived on a large platform and passed through an arrayed gate ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The view in front of them suddenly opened up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seawater was kept out by the array, leaving a brightly lit space inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Houses sprawled out, forming a typical small city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at its center, a grand palace was highly conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ao Li led them directly over the city and into the grand palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest first, feel free to explore around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will hold a feast tonight as a treat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ll talk more then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few handmaids came over and led them to the resting room ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen noticed that all these handmaids still had markedly demon-like features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were obviously demons who had undergone shape transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was assigned a room by Lin Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inspected the palace carefully and was inwardly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This huge palace was an entire entity, obviously a building-type Magical Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many structures in this underwater city must have been refined from raw materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, during their journey, Lin Chen observed that all the inhabitants here were transformed sea demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were no humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The City of Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Chen, we have some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go out and explore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked a handmaid about the opera of the Undersea City and found out that the most bustling district was the West Market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the business district, where the undersea demons conducted transactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two set out together, with Zhong Quan silently following behind, taking up the role of the guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Chen, do you think Uncle Ao will agree to help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen shook his head: “Who can tell what’s in one’s heart?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji said with a laugh, “What you said earlier was quite persuasive…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen laughed, “Even though my inference is likely to be valid, it all hinges on one premise: you accepting his proposal, giving up the struggle, and simply hiding here to cultivate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But can you accept that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji smirked, “Of course not…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to ask for Uncle Ao’s support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s good if I succeed, but even if I don’t, it won’t be too disappointing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when I listed these potential supporters, I never assumed all of them will agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I really wanted to avoid this, why hide in Wanli Palace?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why not take advantage of the still uncollapsed situation, lead the people of the Ultimate Fairy Palace, leave the Thunder Immortal Domain, go to another Immortal Domain, find a place, and settle down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that safer than staying in the Wanli Palace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen stared at Yao Xuanji, saying softly: “So you’ve decided to face the difficulties, even if the result is still failure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji chuckled: “Even if my father has disappeared, five hundred years isn’t long in our realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many powerhouses cultivate in seclusion for hundreds, even thousands of years…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If my father had died, I might gather my loyal sects, officially release them, or take the factions unwilling to leave to a safe place to avoid disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Master of the Immortal Domain must possess overwhelming strength to suppress all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My strength is far from enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The position of Domain Lord has always been respected for strength, killing to reach the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inheritance doesn’t count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, those who stay loyal to my royal palace do it for my father, not me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since my father is not dead or here, I naturally can’t just let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I must at least try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows, he might return one day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be admitted that Yao Xuanji is very rational and sees the whole situation very clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, give it a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your father is just far away, not back yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter who it is, there is some fear in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t dare to be too arrogant… By the way, what is the real level of strength you and your father possess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Da Luo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yao Xuanji shook his head, “No, those above Da Luo generally wouldn’t stay in the Thunder Immortal Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is just a Peak Celestial Immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his cultivation path is unusual, so his combat power is extraordinarily high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few below Da Luo can match him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for me, I’ve been cultivating strenuously since I returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to my ten thousand years of comprehension, I’ve advanced continuously and just reached the Golden Immortal Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the accumulated resources of our palace have been almost consumed by me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now my progression is slowing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked curiously: “Why wouldn’t those above Da Luo stay in the Thunder Immortal Domain?”\u003C\u002Fp>",908,"2026-06-06T01:52:09.112Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2b8a2b209a6de55ec0f1ac06b72d7135379e2b10ecf5c5e6be4d9a3998192dc","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1523","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1521",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
