Upon learning the information about the three disciples of the Immortal Emperor from Sun Yixiao, Lin Chen fell into deep thought.

Was it Qingluan Immortal Monarch's own intention to deal with Gu Yue, or was it the Saint's?

He is of demon race origin, with a noble identity; perhaps he could be considered the leader of the demon race in the world, and certainly many demon race powerhouses must have rallied to him.

Now that True Person Tai Xu has returned, Lin Chen naturally planned to pay him a visit.

True Person Tai Xu was meditating; upon seeing Lin Chen enter, a smile appeared on his face.

"I was worried about you before, but it turns out you not only survived but also achieved great merit and became a hero. I really worried for nothing."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If it weren't for the Qiqiao Hall gifted by Jade Star Lord, we would never have escaped the Demon Flame Burning Sky Formation."

True Person Tai Xu smiled and said, "All this is your own karma."

Lin Chen smiled and revealed the purpose of his visit: "Senior, I have obtained the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique."

True Person Tai Xu's eyes lit up: "You got it?"

Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, and recounted the process of obtaining the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique. He did not conceal the conflict between himself and Lv Shuyi; seeing how Lv Shuyi resorted to lethal measures against him, Lin Chen naturally would not let her off easily.

After listening to Lin Chen, True Person Tai Xu sighed, "Time really can change everything; she wasn't like this before."

Lin Chen apologized, "Senior, I'm sorry, I did not spare her life."

True Person Tai Xu shook his head, "It's all her own doing; you can't be blamed. If she's killed, then so be it."

After a pause, True Person Tai Xu smiled and said, "Alright, according to our previous agreement, since you found the Yin Yang Slaying Immortal Technique, the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror is completely yours now."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "This object uses one's own lifespan as the activation energy; unless it's a life and death situation, I wouldn't dare to use it."

True Person Tai Xu replied, "The Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror is meant for desperate situations; normally, who would use it?"

After bidding farewell to True Person Tai Xu, Lin Chen paid another visit to Jade Star Lord.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Jade Star Lord also showed a warm smile, "Here comes our hero!"

Lin Chen awkwardly waved his hand, "Senior, please don't say that. If it were not for the Qiqiao Hall that you bestowed, I might have died in the Demon World long ago—no, I might have been dead a long time ago."

White Cloud Star Lord watched Lin Chen with a smiling face, "I created that object myself, I know what it can do, it indeed can block scouting, but it can't block the Saints'..."

Lin Chen was startled upon hearing this; White Cloud Star Lord must have been informed of his report about the War God Mansion, in which he mentioned the Qiqiao Hall multiple times.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I also used some other methods, but mainly it was the Qiqiao Hall."

White Cloud Star Lord waved his hand, "That credit is yours; I won't share in it, but you can say whatever you want, I don't know anything."

Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief; if White Cloud Star Lord had seriously pursued the matter, he wouldn't have known how to respond on the spot.

The Linglong Tower must absolutely not be revealed!

Previously, Qi had warned him; there are too many tower-shaped magical treasures in the world. It was safe to use in the Middle and Low Immortal Domain without fear of suspicion, but in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, with numerous powerhouses and even formidable Quasi-Saints, someone might recognize the Linglong Tower. Once exposed, it would be disastrous!

"Thank you, Senior!"

Jade Star Lord said with a laugh, "I heard you've become the Vice Corps Commander of the First Corps?"

Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, over this past year, I have been constantly busy training the military. Senior, are we going to war?"

Jade Star Lord nodded, "It's almost time, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch is planning the counterattack, your leisure days won't last much longer."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I've been waiting for so long, indeed, it's time to counterattack. Let's fight if we have to."

Jade Star Lord fixed his gaze on Lin Chen's face, suddenly smiled, "I gave you the Token before and said that if anything happens, I could cover you. But then you fell into the Demon World, and I couldn't help you at all. This is quite a slap in the face."

Lin Chen politely responded, "The Immortal Demon Channel, the force where planes overlap, is not something that human power can cross. This cannot be blamed on the Senior."

Jade Star Lord thought for a moment, then opened his right hand, and with a flash of light, a yellow jade stone, resembling amber and shaped like a dormant cicada, appeared in his palm.

The yellow jade stone floated towards Lin Chen's forehead, and Jade Star Lord whispered, "Open your heart and mind!"

Lin Chen didn't know what the stone really was, but trusted that Jade Star Lord would not harm him. Without resisting, he let the yellow jade stone land on his forehead, feeling its icy touch.

Jade Star Lord pointed at the yellow jade stone, his face turned instantly pale, and a magnificent spiritual power surged into the jade stone. In an instant, the stone gained a more divine aura, as if it came to life.

The cicada-shaped yellow jade stone fluttered its wings and crooned, then gradually began to fade away.

When the yellow jade stone had completely disappeared, an image of a cicada appeared on Lin Chen's forehead.

Jade Star Lord withdrew his finger, and the pattern on Lin Chen's forehead quickly faded until it completely vanished.

Lin Chen felt the change at the position of his forehead. It seemed as if there was a cicada hiding beneath the earth, motionless.

"Senior, what is this?"

Jade Star Lord smiled slightly, "The Cicada Shedding Seal, it can block a lethal attack once. You can simply understand it as something that can die instead of you, but, it can only die for you, it can't help you counterattack or escape. So, if you encounter a deadly crisis, use it cleverly, and you might just manage to escape."

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, blocking a lethal attack! To die in one's stead! Doesn't this mean having an extra life? Jade Star Lord's treasures are too abundant!

Lin Chen quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Senior. This item is too precious, I'm undeserving…"

Jade Star Lord waved his hand, unconcerned, "The value of good things is realized only when used. Otherwise, just keeping them in storage won't reveal their worth. This was something I used to play with, and never had the need for it. Previously, my promise fell short, so consider this compensation to you."

With such a lifesaving treasure, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't refuse. He was about to head to the battlefield; who knew what he would encounter there? An extra lifesaving trick surely could not hurt!

Previously, when trapped in the Demon World, he couldn't contact Jade Star Lord at all, so it really had nothing to do with Jade Star Lord. Yet, he insisted he had broken his promise, showing how seriously he took his commitments to Lin Chen.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Lin Chen expressed his heartfelt gratitude, yet his mind suddenly caught onto the words just spoken by Jade Star Lord.

Storage?

Used to play with?

Such a magical item discarded in storage, not seeing use?

Who could afford such luxury?

Could it be from the Immortal Emperor's storage?
