47: Chapter 47 The Journey to the Secret Realm, Alright! I'm relieved to hear you say that.

The sunshine on Xiaoyao Peak remained bright. Lu Chen was absent-mindedly grooming the nine tails of Yun Qianyue.

Yun Qianyue curled up at Lu Chen's feet, a comfortable purring sound emitting from her throat.

Beside them, Leng Qingqiu's face turned livid.

"Revered Master, the strength and technique of your massage... it's truly making this Disciple unable to resist~"

Yun Qianyue turned her head back, blowing a breath with seductive eyes.

Lu Chen didn't even lift his eyelids: "Stop calling out, or I'll tie a knot in your tail."

Just then, a stream of light rushed up from the luxurious palace at the foot of the mountain.

Wei Hongyu landed in front of the hall, stepping on a golden wish-fulfilling plate. Today, she had changed into a crisp crimson hunting outfit, looking less like a slick merchant and more valiant.

She glanced at Lu Chen's hand, and her expression immediately became serious.

"Lu Chen, stop playing around, something big has happened," Wei Hongyu said directly.

Lu Chen yawned and slowly straightened his back:

"What, did the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce go bankrupt? Or did the wooden comb I gave you break?"

Wei Hongyu ignored his teasing and said in a deep voice: "The Azure Emperors Secret Realm has appeared."

"Azure Emperor?" Lu Chen frowned.

Some memories surfaced in his mind.

That was a stunningly talented Great Emperor from hundreds of thousands of years ago. It was rumored that their original form was a Chaos Green Lotus. After attaining the Dao, they dominated the ages and left behind countless legends.

"It's right at the border between the Eastern Wasteland and the Central Plains, in the Sunset Grand Canyon," Wei Hongyu continued.

"Just this morning, colorful light shot into the sky there, ten thousand demons stampeded, and some even saw the phantom of the imperial weapon of the utmost path, 'Chaos Green Lotus,' in the Void Realm. This kind of scene has never appeared during the opening of previous Secret Realms."

Lu Chen lay back down, his tone lazy:

"Oh, that sounds quite lively. Then hurry up and take people to grab it. If you manage to snatch it, your Wanbao Chamber of Commerce will become stronger again."

Wei Hongyu glared at him:

"Are you not tempted at all? That is the Chaos Green Lotus, rumored to contain the secret to Ascension and Immortal Ascension!"

Lu Chen found it funny in his heart.

Ascension? Ascend to go mining?

Even if that Chaos Green Lotus was a treasure of a True Immortal, it held no appeal for him.

Anything he could pull out from his own hands was better than that Azure Emperors Secret Realm.

"Not interested," Lu Chen waved his hand.

"I get motion sickness from Secret Realms; I get a headache just going there."

Lu Chen had no reaction, even wanting to change positions and continue sleeping.

After all, for big factions, which one hadn't produced a few Great Emperors? They hadn't even fully comprehended the Legacy of their own Great Emperors, yet they wanted to eat from the bowl while looking at the pot?

His previous life on Blue Star also had Emperor-level Cultivation Techniques, but very few people learned them. The name of the technique was—Qian Xuesheng's Manuscript on Mechanics!!

Just then, the System in his mind suddenly emitted a rapid prompt.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host is slacking off. As a Great Emperor, he has no ambition, seriously affecting the growth of his Disciples.]

[Issuing Cultivation Task: Lead all Disciples to the Azure Emperors Secret Realm.]

[Task Reward: imperial weapon of the utmost path Upgrade Card x1, Salted Fish Value +10000 points. [Can be exchanged for ten years of Lifespan]]

[Penalty Warning: If the Host refuses to execute or the task fails, the System will initiate Ascension guidance, forcibly triggering the opening of the Heavenly Gate, and send the Host to the Immortal Realm Immortal Crystal Mine for a five-hundred-year labor reform.]

Lu Chen's rocking chair stopped.

The veins on his forehead throbbed, and the wooden comb in his hand was almost crushed.

Five hundred years?

Go to the Immortal Realm to mine for five hundred years?

Is that work for a Great Emperor? That's treatment that would make capitalists cry!

"Revered Master? What's wrong with you?" Yun Qianyue noticed that Lu Chen's expression was wrong and asked in a low voice.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, stood up abruptly, his originally lazy expression instantly disappearing, replaced by a look of righteousness.

He waved his hand and said solemnly:

"Hongyu, you're right! I want it! Immediately, right now!"

Wei Hongyu was stunned. It was the first time she had seen Lu Chen so proactive.

"No, not now, at least let's be in the room!"

"Ah!"

Lu Chen said speechlessly: "I meant taking you all to the Azure Emperors Secret Realm to explore!"

Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu's beautiful eyes lit up, and the imperial sword jiuyou in her hand hummed incessantly.

Yun Qianyue wagged her tail and leaned in:

"Long live Revered Master!"

The Su Sisters also ran over from afar.

Su Qiyue: "Revered Master, are we going out to play?"

Su Xuner looked at Lu Chen with suspicion.

Just a moment ago, he was acting like he was half-dead; how did he change after Wei Hongyu said two sentences?

Could it be that Revered Master really has an unspeakable deal with this rich woman?

Lu Chen's eyes were now filled with the sense of responsibility of a teacher.

"Go! Must go!"

Wei Hongyu was scared back a step by Lu Chen's sudden change of face: "Didn't you just say you weren't going?"

Lu Chen stood up abruptly, his black hair dancing wildly, looking like he was worried about the country and the people.

"Hongyu, you are underestimating me. Am I the kind of greedy, fearful, and irresponsible Revered Master?"

"As a Revered Master, I have a responsibility to take my Disciples out to see the world."

Actually, Lu Chen was thinking: You dog of a System! Forced Ascension? Isn't that just sending me to go screw bolts?

Yun Qianyue's nine tails stood up simultaneously in excitement!

Before Lu Chen could call people to pack their luggage, a stream of light flashed on the mountain road.

The Holy Lord Mo Wentian, as if he had been camping out, brought the Saintess Shen Mengyao and the Saint Lin Bufan and arrived at the top of the mountain in a flash.

"Junior Brother! I knew you had a heart of justice!"

As soon as Mo Wentian came up, he accurately activated his flattery mode, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

"I heard Junior Brother is going to the Azure Emperors Secret Realm to win glory for our Righteous Path of the Eastern Wasteland. I was unable to sleep all night, filled with gratitude and tears!"

Lu Chen squinted at him: "Get to the point."

Mo Wentian coughed awkwardly and hurriedly pulled out Shen Mengyao and Lin Bufan from behind him.

"Junior Brother, although these two children are incompetent, they are still the face of the Holy Land. Can you let them follow your Disciples and pick up some leftovers you missed? With you presiding, who would dare to touch a hair on their heads?"

The Saint Lin Bufan, who had none of the arrogance rumored in the outside world, saw Lu Chen look over and bent his waist faster than anyone:

"Disciple Lin Bufan, greets Ancestor Lu! Ancestor Lu's might shakes the world, this Disciple is willing to hold the horse and drop the stirrup for Ancestor Lu!"

The Saintess Shen Mengyao looked shyly at Lu Chen's handsome profile, her heartbeat accelerating, and whispered:

"Mengyao is willing to follow Ancestor Lu in cultivation and will never cause trouble for Ancestor Lu."

Lu Chen had a splitting headache.

He originally only wanted to take his own three disasters, and now he had to take another string of dead weight?

But looking at Mo Wentian's pleading eyes, and thinking that the Yunxiao Holy Land was, after all, the family business left by his Revered Master.

"Alright, alright, you can follow, but I'll say the ugly things first."

Lu Chen held up a finger, his expression serious:

"First, no running around; second, no causing trouble; third, if you find treasure, you must turn it in... ahem, be low-key."

Mo Wentian was overjoyed:

"No problem! Mengyao, Bufan, why don't you thank Ancestor Lu yet!"

The two knelt down in unison.

After all, in the current Human Realm, following Lu Chen was equivalent to carrying an invincible gold medal for avoiding death.

Mo Wentian was delighted: "Junior Brother! Can you take a few more people! I'll arrange another Elder! You are responsible for holding the fort, she is responsible for management!"

"Junior Brother! If Junior Martial Uncle was here, she would definitely agree!"

Lu Chen was speechless, playing his Revered Master's emotional card again!

"Alright! With that said, I can rest easy! The salty fish body doesn't care about things! I'll trouble her to put in the effort!"

"Prepare yourselves, gather at the square, we set off in two hours."
