The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2723 It's not worth going to such lengths to capture a small fry!
"He is the Demon Emperor Kong Ling. We became friends after a fight. I found a body for him and had him switch bodies, returning the body to you."

Lin Chen pointed to Kong Ling, who was smiling beside him: "We can be considered friends now, right?"

Lin Yuan stared in shock at Kong Ling beside him. Was this the Demon Emperor who had seized his body and suppressed his soul?

Did his son and he become friends after a fight?

Has Lin Chen become so powerful that he can fight against the Demon Emperor?
Kong Ling laughed heartily: "His memories are still stuck in the Wilderness Realm, Lin Yuan. Although I've taken over your body, you should thank me. If it weren't for me, you would have died in Yin Yang Valley back then."

"Over the years, although I have occupied your body, I have been cultivating and have reached the Great Luo Supreme Immortal level. Oh, you probably don't know what the Great Luo Supreme Immortal level is, right? From the Void Realm, one ascends to become an Immortal, then a Human Immortal, an Earth Immortal, a True Immortal, a Golden Immortal, a Heavenly Immortal, and then the Great Luo Profound Immortal and the Great Luo Supreme Immortal. Now that I'm returning the body to you, you've gotten a great deal!"

"Of course, you didn't get this advantage for nothing. It's all thanks to your remarkable son. If it weren't for him rebuilding the ascension passage in the Wilderness Realm, none of the cultivators in the entire Wilderness Realm would have been able to ascend to immortality. I, the Demon Emperor, would have been fighting to the death with the Human Emperor, who is your son, in the Wilderness Realm."

Lin Yuan was completely stunned.

Become an immortal?
Or is he a Great Immortal?

His own son opened a path to ascension for the entire Wilderness Realm?

Is he really that good?
Lin Yuan suddenly thought of a question and asked with some fear, "How many years have I been asleep?"

The story that Kong Ling sketched out in just a few words was enough to terrify Lin Yuan. Could it be that he had been sleeping for thousands of years?
Lin Chen grasped Lin Yuan's hand and gently comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. The last time we met was only a few decades ago. Mother is still doing well. It's just that their strength is not enough, so they are still in the Wilderness Realm and haven't come to the Immortal Realm yet. But we can go back anytime."

Decades?
Lin Yuan's eyes widened. "In just a few decades, you've actually become a Great Immortal?"
Where are we now?

Lin Chen replied, "In the Southern Wilderness of the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm, if you are in good spirits now, I will slowly tell you everything, starting from my memories in the mortal realm."

Lin Yuan nodded firmly: "I'm fine, better than ever before!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll make you a cup of tea, and we can talk while we drink. It'll probably take a long time."

Lin Yuan stared straight at Lin Chen, his eyes full of apology.

While his son is indeed very capable now, having reached a level of capability that he cannot fully comprehend, what Lin Yuan sees and thinks about is Lin Chen's arduous journey of growth alone in the world.

She gave birth to him, but she failed to fulfill her responsibilities as a father!
In his life, there was neither a father nor a mother!

It's all my fault!

Lin Chen looked into Lin Yuan's eyes and guessed what he was thinking. He smiled slightly and said, "Dad, it's alright. It's all in the past. Our family can finally be reunited."

Lin Chen led Lin Yuan away from their residence to the lakeside, where they set up a table and chairs and began boiling water to make tea.

Once the tea was brewed, white steam rose and the aroma filled the air. Lin Chen then began to recount his life story.

Lin Yuan held his teacup, listening intently.

The two sat on a chair by the lake, one talking and the other listening, their figures perfectly harmonious.

The world within the tower has no day or night, and this lecture has lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Lin Yuan finally heard the whole story and, after a long internal struggle, fully understood everything. "So, you've not only offended the Myriad Immortals Palace, but also the Barbarian King's Palace..."

Lin Chen replied nonchalantly, "Yes, but it's alright. Once I've finished dealing with my matters, I can go to the Crimson Immortal Realm. With White Jade Star Lord and Mu Tian Lord protecting me there, it won't be a problem."

After a pause, Lin Chen smiled and said, "Going to the Crimson Immortal Realm isn't urgent. Now that you're awake, Dad, I naturally need to send you back to the Wilderness Realm to reunite with Mother first..."

Lin Yuan asked, "How long will it take to return from the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm to the Thunder Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen replied, "It took us five years to come from the Divine Fall Immortal Realm to the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm. It will probably take about the same amount of time to return to the Thunder Immortal Realm."

"Five years, and a round trip would take ten years..."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's too much of a waste of time."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Immortals have long lifespans. It's common for their journeys to take ten or even several decades. Ten years is not a long time. Besides, we're traveling together as father and son, so we won't be lonely on the road."

Lin Yuan thought about it and realized that it made sense. Cultivation was important, but what was more important than family reunion?
Lin Yuan's soul has now returned to its place, but it is not compatible with the body of a Great Luo Immortal. He possesses the body of a Great Luo Immortal, but that does not mean he is a Great Luo Immortal. He needs a lot of time to integrate and balance it, and finally reach a point of equilibrium.

This matter was important, but Lin Yuan didn't care. All he wanted now was to return to the Wilderness Domain and be back by his wife's side.

After listening to his son's account of the past, he could fully imagine how desperate and sad his wife must have been during the years he was missing!

Where are you going now?

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I came to the Southern Wilderness this time to find Kong Ling and complete the separation of soul and spirit. Now that I have achieved my goal, there is no need for me to stay any longer. I played a trick on Zhong Minchun, and she is probably furious right now. The Barbarian King Palace will definitely communicate with the Ten Thousand Immortals Palace and will inevitably discover my false identity. They will most likely issue a warrant for my arrest, so it is a good time to leave."

"Go back to our home on Xianxian Island in Beihai, see Jiaxue and the others, confirm our future journey, and then we can go home. Once we're reunited, we probably won't come to the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm again. After all, I've offended quite a few people there, and it'll be trouble if I'm not careful."

"Dad, don't worry. Just stay in the tower for a while, rest well, integrate your soul, and adapt to your body as soon as possible."

Looking at Lin Chen, who exuded maturity and confidence, Lin Yuan felt a mix of emotions—shame and pride.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lin Yuan asked with some concern, "The Myriad Immortals Palace and the Barbarian King's Palace are both looking for you. How are you going to evade their pursuit?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "It's very simple. We can hide in the Linglong Pagoda and just hire someone to carry it through the domain gate. The Linglong Pagoda can block all senses, so no one can find us."

“Our roots are not here. Even if they want to investigate, they can’t find our relatives and can’t use investigative methods like bloodline attraction. So, even though the Hall of Ten Thousand Immortals and the Barbarian King’s Palace are very powerful, if I’m determined to hide, they can’t do anything to me.”

"Besides, even if some mysterious methods can be used, the price will definitely be high. In their eyes, I am just an insignificant nobody. Do you think those quasi-saints would go to great lengths for me? Wouldn't that be a loss and a disgrace?"

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good. What about Kong Ling? He's in the body of the Hall Master of the Myriad Immortals Palace Battle Hall. I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in the Myriad Gods Immortal Realm anymore, right?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "He's smart, he definitely has his own plan, we don't need to worry about him!"
