Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 547 - 544 Overseas Immortal Sect! [Second Update]

Chapter 547: Chapter 544 Overseas Immortal Sect! [Second Update]

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, three figures descended floatingly from the clouds.

Among them was Zhao Yuqing.

Seeing Li Chen, she urgently shouted, "Brother Li Chen!"

Li Chen, seeing Zhao Yuqing alive, a flash of joy sparkled in his eyes.

"Yuqing, it’s okay, don’t be afraid!"

Zhao Yuqing wept with joy, nodding her head vigorously like a pecking chicken.

Jing Yi Immortal, seeing Li Chen flirting with Zhao Yuqing right away and completely ignoring their master-disciple presence, frowned slightly.

"Young man, the cultivation techniques you just used, were they Heaven and Earth are Limitless and Five Thunders Heavenly Technique?"

Hearing this woman’s questions, a serious expression flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

"Yes, who are you?"

"Big brother, we are from the Moon God Palace, with no ill intentions. It’s just that my master noticed this young lady has an Immortal Spirit Root. She didn’t want to see her talents go wasted, so she planned to take her back!"

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, the girl named Shui Yue hastily responded.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jing Yi Immortal sternly glared at her and scolded pretentiously, "You little girl, always talking out of turn!"

Shui Yue shrank her head, acknowledging her mistake. However, once Jing Yi Immortal shifted her gaze away, she playfully stuck out her tongue again.

Looking at this master-disciple pair, Li Chen felt somewhat perplexed.

"Moon God Palace, what place is that?"

"Moon God Palace is located on the coast of the East Sea, on Penglai Immortal Island. It should be in... that direction!"

This time, it was the girl Shui Yue who answered. To help Li Chen understand the location of Penglai Immortal Island, she even spun around on the spot.

"Shui Yue, shut up. Stop fooling around, or next time I won’t bring you out!"

Jing Yi Immortal chided with a stern face.

Hearing the girl’s answer, Li Chen nodded in realization.

It seemed that the Moon God Palace was likely a legacy from ancient times, an immortal sect.

During the Great Qin Period, the State Preceptor Xu Fu wrote to Emperor Qin Ying Zheng, claiming that there were three immortal mountains overseas, namely Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, inhabited by immortals where one could seek the Pill of Immortality.

Relative to the land inhabited by 7 billion ordinary humans, these anciently inherited immortal sects on the Overseas Immortal Mountains belong to a higher plane of existence.

However, seeing their ability to move freely among them, these two planes are not naturally isolated by Heaven and Earth Laws, but rather artificially separated by barriers placed by powerful immortals.

The Cultivation World where Li Chen originally belonged was genuinely isolated by real Heaven and Earth Laws.

Simply put, the Overseas Immortal Sects belong to the Cultivation Realm, and their area of activity, centered on Earth, can extend into space, but it’s still basically impossible to leave the Solar System.

The Cultivation World of Li Chen’s past life, however, encompassed activities ranging from the Milky Way to extragalactic systems, covering the entire cosmic void.

"You are a person from the secular world, not knowing the existence of our Moon God Palace is n...

Jing Yi Immortal spoke disdainfully, her face filled with pride as if she were a majestic ruler looking down upon the masses.

Li Chen gave a cold smile and casually retorted, "Senior, your reasoning is flawed. Were not your ancestors also mere mortals like us?"

Hearing Li Chen’s spur-of-the-moment question, Jing Yi Immortal’s face instantly darkened.

Seeing her expression, Li Chen became more convinced of his earlier guess.

Indeed, the Overseas Immortal Mountains and this place are separated by spatial barriers set up by powerful immortals, not by natural Heaven and Earth Laws.

After a moment of silence, Jing Yi Immortal remarked coldly, "Hmph, that Zhang Daoling indeed raised a good disciple. If you do not perish, once the Immortal Sect opens, your Heavenly Master Sect will gain another outstanding prodigy!"

Li Chen was taken aback, "Zhang Daoling, Heavenly Master Sect?"

"Your ancestral master Zhang Daoling ascended to the Cultivation Realm and founded the Heavenly Master Sect. Unfortunately, your Sect has failed to make much progress. After two thousand years, it managed to pass on teachings to only a few individuals such as Zhang Lu, most of whom haven’t turned out to be much!"

Jing Yi Immortal’s words were filled with contempt. It seemed that Zhang Daoling wasn’t doing too well in the Overseas Immortal Mountains. His Heavenly Master Sect was probably a level lower than the Moon God Palace.

Li Chen knew she had misunderstood his relationship with Zhang Daoling, but he didn’t care to correct her.

"May I ask when will the Immortal Sect open?"

Jing Yi Immortal replied haughtily, "It has already opened, but your Heavenly Master Sect can only be considered third-rate. It’ll probably still take them three to five years before they send people to the secular world to convert disciples!"

Li Chen nodded in understanding and also relaxed slightly in his heart.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Master Sect was only a third-rate sect; otherwise, if they knew he had ended the way of the Heavenly Master, it might be another big trouble.

As Li Chen pondered, Jing Yi Immortal pointed at Zhao Yuqing, saying, "Young man, truth be told, I want to take your little lover with me and let her join my Moon God Palace. In this turbid secular realm, her natural talents bestowed by heaven will just go to waste!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen’s expression faltered slightly.

Immediately, he looked at Zhao Yuqing with a responsible gaze.

At the same moment, Zhao Yuqing also looked towards Li Chen.

Their eyes met, both filled with complicated ripples.

Jing Yi Immortal, worried Zhao Yuqing may not wish to leave with her, coldly added, "Young man, a phoenix should nest in a parasol tree, not in deadwood. This girl harbors an Immortal Spirit Root within her body. Even placed among Heaven’s Chosen Sons and assembled Goddesses of the Overseas Immortal Mountains, she would still be a top choice. Staying here would only bury her brilliance. If you truly care for her, you should not become her shackles!"

The corners of Li Chen’s mouth curled into a complex bittersweet smile. How ironic was it that he, the Immortal Emperor, was also being despised in this way?

"Brother Li Chen!"

With tearful eyes full of reluctance, Zhao Yuqing looked at Li Chen.

Just one word from him asking her to stay, and she would, without a second thought, give up everything—the Overseas Immortal Sects, Heavenly Pride Girl, the eternal immortality—all of it.

Yet, the words pleading her to stay never came from Li Chen.

"Yuqing being esteemed by the senior is her fortune. As long as she is willing, I naturally won’t force her to stay!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Zhao Yuqing’s eyes, filled with expectation, dimmed with sadness.

Dimly, she recalled the words Li Chen first used to reject her, and thought of the girl also named Ye Chuxue.

Indifference is not as torturous as deep affection, a mere inch can turn into endless threads. It seems that leaving is the best choice for herself.

With these thoughts, Zhao Yuqing bitterly smiled and curtseyed deeply towards Jing Yi Immortal.

"Immortal, I am willing to go with you. Please allow me to bid him farewell one last time!"

Seeing that Zhao Yuqing finally agreed, Jing Yi Immortal nodded with relief.

"Go ahead, but do not take too long!"

Zhao Yuqing smiled gracefully and walked towards Li Chen.

She extended her fair, delicate hand and held onto Li Chen’s larger hand.

The mountain wind brushed against her face, lifting her fringe and revealing her reddened eyes.

Holding hands, they looked into each other’s tearful eyes, too choked up to speak.

Li Chen smiled faintly and said, "Yuqing, the elder was right. Staying here would only bury your talents like pearls in dust!"

"But... I can’t bear to leave you. Without your rescue, Zhao Yuqing would have perished long ago, reduced to bones by the roadside, with no chance of seeing today."

Li Chen gently caressed Zhao Yuqing’s hair and said solemnly, "Yuqing, I know you are grateful, but that’s not a reason to bind yourself!"

Tears welled up in Zhao Yuqing’s eyes, "Brother Li Chen, will we meet again?"

This departure might last for years. When we meet again, which year would it be?

Her biggest fear was never seeing Li Chen again—the man who had offered his shoulder when she was most helpless, where her affection deeply rooted.

"We will, definitely. I promise you, it won’t be more than three years before I come to find you!"

Li Chen’s voice was quiet, but his tone was exceptionally firm, giving an undeniable assurance.

Hearing Li Chen’s affirmative answer, Zhao Yuqing nodded energetically, like a pecking chick.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you. Shall we make a pinky promise?"

As she spoke, Zhao Yuqing extended her tender, green onion-like little finger, looking at Li Chen with hopeful eyes.

Li Chen responded with an understanding smile, stretching out his thumb, linking it with Zhao Yuqing’s little finger.

"Pinky promise, not to change for a hundred years!"

As she spoke, Zhao Yuqing’s voice choked again, and tears streamed down like a babbling brook.

Seeing Zhao Yuqing crying pitifully, Li Chen reached out to wipe her tears, feigning ease, "Don’t cry, it ruins your pretty face!"

Zhao Yuqing burst into laughter, hesitated for a moment, then plucked up her courage to say, "Brother Li Chen, hold me once more, will you?"

Li Chen nodded, then embraced Zhao Yuqing tightly in his arms.

Zhao Yuqing nestled her head against Li Chen’s chest, quietly listening to his strong, steady heartbeat.

At this moment, she clung to Li Chen like a baby clinging to its mother.

Perhaps this was their final tender moment?

"Wow, how romantic, so touching!"

The young girl Shui Yue, like a fan girl watching a drama, began to tear up.

"Shut up, if you didn’t speak, no one would sell you as a mute!"

Jing Yi Immortal glared at Shui Yue and scolded in a low voice.

Shui Yue’s eyes bulged out, indicating her protest.

However, when Jing Yi Immortal glared at her again, she reluctantly shrugged.

After scolding her disciple, Jing Yi Immortal looked disapprovingly at the embracing Shui Yue and Li Chen.

"Cough cough, the sun is about to set, it’s time to go!"

Reluctantly, Zhao Yuqing stepped out from Li Chen’s embrace, tilted her head up slightly to look into Li Chen’s eyes, speechless, but gestured a heart with her hands.

It was sign language, meaning: There’s a silly girl, her name is Zhao Yuqing. Her heart will always belong to you!

Zhao Yuqing’s sudden departure left Li Chen feeling a sense of lost emptiness.

Only separation can bring such soul-deep sorrow!

He looked at Zhao Yuqing and said, "Take good care of yourself over there!"

Zhao Yuqing smiled and nodded, "I will. Brother Li Chen, you too, don’t forget our promise!"

Li Chen nodded, saying, "I won’t!"

After speaking, he turned his eyes towards Jing Yi Immortal.

"Elder, I entrust Yuqing to you. However, let me be clear. If she suffers any harm, I, Li Chen, swear I will demolish your Moon God Palace!"

Li Chen said this with a sunny smile, yet no one would think he was joking.

Jing Yi responded tensely, her expression as cold as ice, "Are you threatening me?"

Li Chen shook his head, "No, just a friendly reminder!"

Jing Yi scoffed in extreme anger, "Hmph, arrogant boy. Once you step into the Overseas Immortal Sect, you will realize how arrogant you were today. How tiny the plane you reside in really is, and that you are merely a frog in a well!"

Li Chen smiled proudly, "That’s my affair, not something for you to worry about, elder. Just remember what I said today. And trust that I will deliver, without any compromise!"

"Fine, I’ve noted it!"

Jing Yi Immortal angrily responded, then took Shui Yue and Zhao Yuqing, and left indignantly.
