CHAPTER 3267: CHAPTER 3287: COULD THIS BE FATE NOT MEANT TO END?

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch suddenly froze, then a surge of uncontrollable joy emerged in his eyes.

Lin Chen!

Lin Chen had entered the refining path practice in the Tao Ding under the watch of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, who paid attention when nothing was amiss. But once the great battle started, the Immortal Monarch completely forgot about this matter.

The battlefield was perilous and tense. The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was captured, his heart and mind shaken, utterly despairing and unable to think of Lin Chen by his side until Lin Chen called out to him, suddenly reminding him.

The heart of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was wildly joyous. Although Lin Chen’s strength was only at the Superior Prime Daluo Immortal stage, incomparable to his and even less so to the Demon Lord, the timing was crucial.

Normally, with Lin Chen’s strength, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch would at most appreciate it slightly, not paying much heed, even though he previously tried to win over Lin Chen, partly because of the quasi-saints around Lin Chen, and also because he did not want Lin Chen to be swayed by his two Junior Brothers.

But at this moment, Lin Chen’s appearance was like a flicker of firelight suddenly emerging in boundless darkness. Although faint and seemingly able to be swallowed by the darkness at any time, this spot of firelight in the vast darkness kindled hope and boosted morale.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was completely restrained in terms of his power levels, and at this moment, he couldn’t even perform a simple flying technique, making Lin Chen’s current strength seem overwhelmingly powerful!

This place had been thoroughly corrupted and transformed, the entire world’s atmosphere utterly chaotic, which is why, as the Lord Charm Erosion mentioned, even an Immortal Emperor would not be able to detect his own location, let alone find and rescue him.

But with Lin Chen by his side, a surprise escape might not be impossible, especially since Lin Chen was someone who had managed to escape even from the presence of the Demon Emperor!

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch concealed the joy in his eyes, sitting down by the cave against a cliff, his head drooping, appearing utterly despairing and dejected.

"Lin Chen, what’s your current situation?"

Lin Chen’s voice was filled with joy: "With the assistance of the Immortal Monarch’s Tao Ding, I have now reached the peak of Daluo. Please let me out."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said with a bitter smile: "I can’t let you out right now..."

Inside the Tao Ding, Lin Chen’s excitement turned to confusion: "Why?"

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch answered despondently: "I’ve been captured and am currently imprisoned in the demon’s den. All my strength is sealed, unable to use my spiritual power, unable to manipulate the Tao Ding!"

Lin Chen was greatly shocked, blurting out: "You’ve been captured? How much time has passed, has the Immortal Realm already been completely defeated?"

As the great disciple of the Immortal Emperor, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was unparalleled among the quasi-saints. If he had been captured, to what extent had the situation deteriorated?

His wives, how were they, had they also suffered great disasters?

In that instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Chen’s mind, making his mood suddenly turn extremely anxious.

"The allied forces of the Immortal and Demon Worlds fought a battle with the Abyss Demons in the Sacred Heart Fairyland, breaking through one purple crystal pillar, but fell into the demons’ trap..."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch recounted the details of the great battle, seemingly aware of Lin Chen’s concerns, comforting him: "The ordinary immortals below Daluo suffered the most. Your wives are powerful, they likely haven’t faced any harm."

After hearing the recount, Lin Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

So it turns out that the only one who got captured was the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, and here I thought the Immortal Realm had suffered a complete defeat and total subjugation.

Speaking of which, I’m quite unlucky myself. I originally wanted to find a way to enhance my strength, and although I found the place, I also got captured in a bewildering manner.

If the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch perishes, won’t I be permanently sealed within this Tao Ding and never be able to get out?

Unlucky!

Lin Chen asked, "Immortal Monarch, what kind of environment are you in right now, is this space sealed?"

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch lifted his head and described his surroundings in detail: "I am currently placed in a mountain cave, and there are no guards around. I guess Lord Charm Erosion just wants to see me make a fool of myself, thereby eroding my morale, and ultimately forcing my submission to her. Then, she would use my humiliation to further humiliate my master and the Immortal Realm..."

Lin Chen fell silent for a moment: "I have a divine power that can cross spaces, if the space at your location isn’t completely restrained by special array formations or methods, then there might be a possibility for us to escape from here."

After a pause, Lin Chen said with frustration, "But you have been sealed off your strength and can’t manipulate the Tao Ding, and I can’t get out right now..."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch thought for a moment and decisively said, "There is a way!"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "What way?"

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch explained: "Although the Tao Ding is not my life-bound magical treasure, I have refined it and stored it within my Sea of Knowledge. Now that the passage to the Sea of Knowledge is sealed, I can’t use my spiritual power nor control the Tao Ding. But since you are within the Tao Ding, if you can refine the Tao Ding and claim it as yours, then you can manipulate it."

"The main seal restricts the connection between my Sea of Knowledge and me, but if you control the Tao Ding, you can indeed break open the seal from the inside and burst out. At that time, you will be able to come out from within the Tao Ding."

Lin Chen said worriedly, "I am inside the Tao Ding, but I don’t know how to refine the Tao Ding."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch fell silent for a moment, his voice tinged with a bit more loss, "True, even if I tell you the method, wanting to refine the Tao Ding is unlikely, after all, it’s an innate spiritual treasure. At least you would need to master some profound artifact refining techniques. If there were enough time, we could slowly work on it, but he only gave me one day..."

"Artifact Refining Technique?"

Lin Chen broke off the depressed tone of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, "I know how to do that. When I was in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, by chance, I met Deputy Sect Master Dai Yunshen of the Skyfire Sect and Sect Master Su Hao of the Xinghe Sect. They imparted to me the core techniques of artifact refinement from the two Great Sects. Although not quite a great grandmaster, I still have some understanding..."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said in amazement, "The Skyfire Sect and Xinghe Sect known as ’Southern Heavenly Fire, Northern Beixing River’?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yes."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s voice suddenly brimmed with excitement, "Since you have learned the secret techniques that aren’t passed down even within their sects, that must surely be enough. Could it be that heaven hasn’t abandoned me after all?"

The mood of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch swung dramatically in a short span of time, experiencing great tumult.

In a place of despair, there happened to be a Lin Chen in his Tao Ding, and he just happened to have divine power that could cross space, and he also practiced profound artifact refining techniques. Isn’t this Lin Chen just his life-saving blessing?

This is karma!

The voice of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch suddenly became urgent, "Then listen carefully, I’ll teach you the method to refine the Tao Ding. Hurry up and refine the Tao Ding, our lives now completely depend on you!"
