The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1876 The Immortal Palace: Even in death, its might remains!

Lin Chen had participated in the Divine Fire Martial Arts Tournament once, and after hearing what they said, he immediately felt that it was roughly the same.

As individuals, this is an opportunity to settle old scores or make a name for themselves. As for sects, it is an opportunity to send out their strongest members to challenge stronger sects, showcase their sect's strength, and seize a more powerful sect position.

The status of a sect is not just an empty phrase; it is closely related to its sphere of influence. The stronger the sect, the higher its status, the larger the territory it occupies, and the more cultivation resources it possesses.

The most powerful are naturally the Ten Great Immortal Sects. Each of them has its own vast territory, stretching for countless miles. Within this territory, everything belongs to them.

Dynasties have to be mindful of their moods, and even top-tier cultivation sects have to bow down to them and hand over resources every year. Otherwise, they might politely kick you out, or they might annihilate your entire family!
They have complete jurisdiction over their sphere of influence, much like a king who has been granted fiefdoms. They can set their own rules within their sphere of influence.

Not convinced?

Get out of here, or die!

Of course, there is a third way: defeat him, replace him, and become the new king.

As the ruler of the Thunder Immortal Realm, the Immortal Palace's attendance at the Heavenly Profound Martial Arts Tournament was not for competing for status or resources, but rather to serve as a witness and maintain order.

"With our strength, it seems like there's nothing we can participate in. The only ranking we can get into is the Golden Immortal Ranking, but it would be too disadvantageous for an early-stage Golden Immortal to fight against a peak Golden Immortal."

Chu Yue smiled and said, "It doesn't really matter whether you're on this list or not. There's no real benefit to it, but it will attract attention and cause a lot of trouble. It's better to just watch the show!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let's watch the show together."

Fang Wubing reminded you, "If the Heavenly Dao Alliance attacks the Immortal Palace and you encounter danger, the Immortal Palace cannot protect you. I mean, just in case, you should run to our Duobao Dao Sect, and we will protect you."

Lin Chen didn't say much, he just nodded readily: "Okay!"

The four then engaged in various casual conversations, and after a long exchange, everyone left satisfied.

On the Black Cloud, Yao Xuanji smiled as she watched Lin Chen return: "Congratulations on becoming a Golden Immortal!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time. I thought it would take a long time. Maybe it has something to do with the immortal wine that my dragon clan drinks... Have you drunk it?"

Yao Xuanji chuckled and said, "I've had it, and my physical condition has improved a lot. I feel that my cultivation speed has increased by at least 20%."

Lin Chen nodded: "Finished drinking? I still have some?"

Yao Xuanji shook his head: "After drinking for a while, my body basically stopped reacting, so drinking any more would be a waste."

Lin Chen wasn't surprised and laughed, "The medicinal power definitely has its limits. Otherwise, the more immortal wine you drink, the more powerful you become, wouldn't you just take off from the spot!" Yao Xuanji chuckled, "They want to see you about something?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "I have fought alongside all three of them before. We were just catching up. We're friends, I guess."

Yao Xuanji's eyes shone with undisguised admiration: "You're really popular."

Yao Xuanji truly admired Lin Chen. Despite his mediocre talent, he had already grown into a Golden Immortal in such a short time.

Who does he usually deal with?

Top-tier expert!

Compared to the Purple Cloud Immortal Lord, the Four Seas Immortal Lord, the Dragon Clan Ancestor, and others, Lin Chen's strength was relatively weak, yet he always managed to surprise everyone and leave them speechless.

If someone told you about a true immortal realm that sealed away a dragon ancestor in his prime, at full power, would you believe it?
Aside from these top figures, the young generation that Lin Chen interacts with on a daily basis are all prodigies, just as they were back in the Wilderness Realm, and they remain so now.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm lucky. I treat people with sincerity, and they reciprocate with sincerity."

After a pause, Lin Chen asked, "We just chatted with them about the Heavenly Profound Martial Arts Tournament. Is our mission this time just to watch the show?"

Yao Xuanji smiled slightly: "Pretty much. Unless the Heavenly Dao Alliance steps forward and starts a fight, we will not move."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, let's watch the show then."

Meanwhile, on a certain giant ship.

In the huge living room, a refined middle-aged man sat in the center: "Did you all see clearly those people who came out to protect Lin Chen during his tribulation?"

The living room was full of people, men, women, and children, at least twenty or thirty in total, with Wei Jiao, dressed in a bright red dress, prominently among them.

Wei Jiao smiled and replied, "I recognized most of them. Yao Xuanji has really gone all out this time. There are many experts on his ship, all of them are late-stage or peak-stage Celestial Immortals, forty or fifty of them. This group is not easy to deal with."

The refined-looking man smiled and said, "It's not that they can't be dealt with, but truly annihilating them won't be easy."

An old man chimed in, "It is indeed not easy. After all, there are countless forces and powerful individuals present. Although most of these people will choose to remain neutral, quite a few will stand on the side of the Immortal Palace. Once a real battle breaks out, we will face far more enemies than we see now."

The refined-looking man chuckled, "Indeed, he is, after all, the ruler of a region. Even without Yao Xiong, the Immortal Palace's prestige remains undiminished..."
