river flowed swiftly and was utterly dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen held Gu Yuexi tightly in his arms, allowing their bodies to be carried downstream by the current.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi was usually afraid of the dark, but with Lin Chen holding her, she felt an odd sense of calm, even a trace of joy from surviving a catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been so long since they’d last seen the Red Dragon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably gave up the chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He managed to wound the Red Dragon King and escape from his grasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one, not even the Elder Taishang from the Cang Mountain, had been able to achieve this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Primordial Spirits could not even escape, and they had been completely destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Chen had managed to escape with Gu Yuexi, and they were unharmed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi clung tightly to Lin Chen, as if she were embracing the whole world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown amount of time drifting, their bodies suddenly felt lighter as they were washed out of the dark river and into a vast area around them where faint light filtered into the water from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, daylight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen held Gu Yuexi and swam upward, finally breaking the surface of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was no sun visible in the sky, the light was bright and abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scenery was beautiful and surrounded by dense trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found themselves in the center of a massive lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen carried Gu Yuexi and flew across the lake, landing on a grassy area nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s change clothes, eat something, rest a bit, and then explore this place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s clothes were completely soaked, clinging tightly to her body, and Lin Chen couldn’t help but steal a few glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was his woman, so why shouldn’t he look?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi noticed Lin Chen’s gaze and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would it not mean that she was beautiful and charming if she was being admired in such a way by the man she liked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi walked behind a cluster of trees and peeked her head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to watch, Brother, just come and look,” she teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s face flushed slightly, and he waved a hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up and change, and stop teasing me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be careful, or I’ll spank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi giggled and said, “If it’s Brother, I don’t mind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a woman started to act brazenly, there was little left for a man to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After changing clothes and eating together, Gu Yuexi finally had the time to express her amazement, “Brother, you’re incredible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought we were done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I regretted dragging you into this perilous situation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled bitterly, “It was just luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that complex underground river, we wouldn’t have been able to escape either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Red Dragon King is probably one of the strongest people in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He single-handedly killed the Elder Taishangs of three top sects, which isn’t something that anyone can achieve.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi observed the lake in front of them, “The water in this lake seems to be still…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen casually replied, “There are many branches of the underground river, and we might have just entered one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main river does not flow here, and while this lake is connected to the underground river, it’s not downstream from it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi nodded in understanding, “So, we got lucky and were washed into this branch, or else we’d still be stuck in that pitch-black underground river, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked around, “Our luck is indeed good, but this place is too quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It feels abnormal; we might not have escaped the Fairyland yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quiet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi looked around, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right, it’s too quiet here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no sign of life, and even the wind is absent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where have we ended up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen raised his head to observe the sky, “Let’s explore the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s better than being stuck in that pitch-black underground river anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting for a while, they took to the skies, only to discover that an invisible barrier sealed the heavens and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s expression turned grave, “This seems to be some sort of special realm similar to a Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we can’t find the correct way out, we might be unable to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, look over there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Gu Yuexi’s pointing direction, Lin Chen looked towards the mountain peak in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous palace could be seen, but it wasn’t visible unless one looked carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go and check it out; all our questions should be answered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though exploring the unknown was potentially dangerous, Lin Chen had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They flew toward the palace and eventually reached the highest peak of the mountain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solitary, colossal palace stood on the mountaintop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire palace seemed to be made of gold, and it was at least a thousand meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was magnificent and resplendent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the entrance, there was a stone tablet at least a hundred meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four huge characters were inscribed on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Elements Immortal Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The characters seemed like they were about to burst forth from the stone and take flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi’s face changed dramatically, and she exclaimed, “This is the legendary Five Elements Immortal Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My god!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen curiously asked, “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuexi explained with a pale face, “The Five Elements Immortal Palace has been a legend since ancient times, left behind by immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said to contain the secret to ascending to immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the Five Elements Immortal Palace appears, it causes a huge upheaval in the Barren Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless experts have entered the Five Elements Immortal Palace, but none have ever left alive…”\u003C\u002Fp>",986,"2026-06-06T01:51:47.585Z",1,"novelbin.me","8217718669c8001e197b450fadcd2c1612efb5383ce92cd25599313531ecd46b","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-838","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-836",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
