As soon as the words of the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable fell, a chill emanated from her, and simultaneously, an Immortal Venerable level pressure weighed down on Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen's current body couldn't withstand this pressure, and he was immediately bent over, but there was not the slightest hint of panic on his face.
He struggled to look up at the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable and said in a calm tone, "I wonder what Master intends to do to his disciple?"
Seeing that Lu Chen was not afraid of her in the least, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable realized that this Physical Puppet was indeed not important to Lu Chen. Just a Physical Puppet, after all, probably ruined even if destroyed.
But the more Lu Chen was unbridled, the more irritated the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable felt.
However, thinking about the many opportunities Lu Chen had from the Chaotic Sea, potentially even opportunities to become an Emperor, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable dared not really take action against Lu Chen.
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable then said coldly, "Since you managed to come out alive from the Chaotic Sea, it proves Qingshu might also still be alive."
Currently, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable cared most about Yun Qingshu's safety. As Yun Qingshu's Honored Master, it's impossible to say she had no feelings for Yun Qingshu, and Yun Qingshu was her first direct disciple. Most importantly, her becoming an Immortal Venerate had a lot to do with Yun Qingshu.
In response to this question, Lu Chen didn't hide anything and answered directly, "She is indeed still alive, but she is still in the Chaotic Sea right now."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's response, Yun Qingshu frowned slightly.
Still alive? But still in the Chaotic Sea?
So, does this mean there are safe places inside the Chaotic Sea that can resist the erosion of Chaos Qi?
Indeed, the Chaotic Sea is a place full of opportunities.
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable then asked, "Why didn't you take her with you when you left the Chaotic Sea?"
Lu Chen said, "Safely traversing the Chaotic Sea is not an easy task, and I paid a huge price to return to the Tianyan Immortal Domain."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable watched Lu Chen expressionlessly, seemingly assessing whether Lu Chen was lying.
Suddenly, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable thought of something and continued, "Since she survived after entering the Chaotic Sea with you, it proves she resisted the erosion of Chaos Qi."
Although the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable didn't ask a question this time, Lu Chen caught the implication. The words seemed to question why Yun Qingshu, who could resist the erosion of Chaos Qi, couldn't leave the Chaotic Sea with him.
Lu Chen said, "She indeed withstood the erosion of Chaos Qi, but returning to the Tianyan Immortal Domain is not just about resisting the erosion of Chaos Qi. The most important thing is to find the location of the Tianyan Immortal Domain."
"The Chaotic Sea is boundless. Once you enter it, you get lost with no sense of direction. Even an Immortal Emperor can't find the Tianyan Immortal Domain once inside."
"My escape was solely dependent on the teleportation ability of a certain artifact. Unfortunately, that artifact could only teleport one person."
After listening to this, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable could tell that Lu Chen wasn't lying. Indeed, entering the Chaotic Sea was easy, but leaving was difficult, or else there wouldn't be so many Immortal Emperors trapped inside.
But...
If Lu Chen left the Chaotic Sea alone, doesn't that mean he abandoned Yun Qingshu and the women who followed him into the Chaotic Sea?
With this thought, the chill around the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable intensified. She looked at Lu Chen with indifference, "In that case, did you abandon Qingshu, abandon your beloveds?"
Lu Chen said, "What does Master mean by this? If I don't leave the Chaotic Sea, how can I become stronger, and without getting stronger, how can I take them out of the Chaotic Sea? Once I break through to an Immortal Emperor, I would naturally find a way to save them all."
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable said with disbelief, "Even if you break through to Immortal Emperor, who knows how many years that will take. Whether they can wait is uncertain. Even if they can wait, the Chaotic Sea is boundless. Even as an Immortal Emperor, you'll still be unable to navigate and find them. How will you rescue them?"
At this moment, in the mind of the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable, Lu Chen seemed like a heartless person who abandoned his wife and children. After all, even if Lu Chen became an Immortal Emperor, he would still be lost in the Chaotic Sea and unable to find his way. Lu Chen's idea of waiting until becoming an Immortal Emperor to rescue them was baseless.
Of course, even knowing Lu Chen as heartless, she couldn't do anything about him. In this ruthless world, what Lu Chen did seemed justifiable.
In the world of Immortals, focus was often on profit, and sincere emotions were rare.
Lu Chen said, "Master, why don't we make a bet? If I ever become an Immortal Emperor and save them, Master shall agree to one thing I ask."
Listening to Lu Chen's words, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable didn't care since this bet seemed meaningless.
How could she know when Lu Chen could become an Immortal Emperor?
Not to mention whether Lu Chen could even become an Immortal Emperor, if he couldn't, then their bet couldn't proceed at all.
But even though she wasn't interested in this bet, she casually said, "Fine, I shall see if you can become an Immortal Emperor."
Lu Chen then asked, "Does Master have any other matters?"
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable once again assessed Lu Chen expressionlessly. To be honest, she was contemplating breaking off the mentor-disciple relationship with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen currently in the Tianyan Immortal Domain was trouble; the great powers were all searching for Lu Chen. If those Super Forces knew Lu Chen was in the Mysterious Moon Palace and at her Heavenly Language Peak, they might come looking for him.
The opportunities in the Chaotic Sea were too enticing, moreover, Lu Chen had already shown a Heavenly Rank Immortal Technique that could suppress Heavenly Demon Power, proving he indeed got some opportunities from the Chaotic Sea.
At that point, many would wonder if he had opportunities to become Emperor. At times of impending disaster, the desire to become Emperor among Immortal Venerates would magnify infinitely, and they would try any means possible.
If they learned Lu Chen might have opportunities to become Emperor, they would undoubtedly rush to the Central Domain and the Mysterious Moon Palace.
This was a hot potato for the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable. Besides, standing in front of her, Lu Chen was merely a Physical Puppet, leaving her at a loss.
If it were Lu Chen himself, she could just seize the Emperor opportunity and then expel him from the Mysterious Moon Palace.
The Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable hesitated for a moment and ultimately left the words of breaking off the mentor-disciple relationship unspoken. Their Palace Master seemed to have high hopes for Lu Chen, and it wasn't just for his opportunities but also his vast Qi Fortune.
If breaking off the mentor-disciple bond was to occur, she would need to consult their Palace Master's opinion. It's not time yet to confront Lu Chen.
As long as Lu Chen didn't cause any trouble, maintaining this mentor-disciple relationship wouldn't be an issue.
To avoid Lu Chen causing any trouble for her, the Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable said directly, "From today, unless it's something important, you will cultivate on Heavenly Language Peak and are not allowed to leave."
