320: An opportunity coveted by immortals

Inner Demons are born from the heart, making them the most difficult to overcome, which is why cultivating the Dao Heart is emphasized in cultivation. Don't even say things like, 'Since they knew the Inner Demon Tribulation was coming, why did they still fall into it?'

Once the Inner Demon Tribulation arrives and you are within it, all thoughts of the Inner Demon Tribulation will be severed. You enter the tribulation without knowing it, just like a normal person dreaming. No matter how bizarre the dream is, you won't find it strange. There are also dreams within dreams, nested dreams, and so on.

Even a simple dream can scare someone or even make them laugh loudly in their sleep, while this Inner Demon Tribulation is thousands, tens of thousands of times more terrifying. How can you distinguish it?

Of course, such a terrifying Inner Demon Tribulation is easily handled.

Lu Chen felt the astonishingly surging Qi and blood within his body, and the terrifying power that seemed capable of breaking mountains, rivers, sun, and moon with just a slight movement. He immediately opened his eyes.

"My Body Refinement strength will likely enter a stage of rapid advancement in the coming period!"

He possesses over twenty thousand Monster Corpses. This is just the beginning; he has only processed less than nine hundred Monster Corpses so far.

There are still twenty thousand Monster Corpses left. If they are all digested, his Body Refinement strength will undoubtedly advance by leaps and bounds. There is no doubt about this.

But this way, his Qi Refinement strength is lagging far behind!

Although strong Body Refinement strength greatly helps Qi Refinement cultivation, it is ultimately just helpful. It cannot break through Realms consecutively like Body Refinement strength.

"I still need heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance my cultivation."

Lu Chen thought, the Dongxu Immortal Mansion should have such heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

While he was thinking about these things, a figure suddenly appeared before his eyes, startling Lu Chen. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his Young Sect Leader.

Moreover, his Sect Leader's expression was quite strange, like...

Constipation?

Or perhaps, it was tangled? Hesitant?

Anyway, after his expression changed back and forth, the Sect Leader finally spoke abruptly: "Why were you watching this Sect Leader get beaten up just now?"

Lu Chen: "???"

Where was I watching you get beaten up?

Wait, the Sect Leader got beaten up?

The Sect Leader is so awesome and still got beaten up!

Indeed, I still can't get carried away!

Lu Chen thought to himself, and then suddenly realized!

The Sect Leader is so awesome that he got beaten up. Besides that Demon Immortal, who else could it be?

Isn't the Severed-Hand Immortal, who occupied one of his Ten Transformations Dao Soldiers, also fighting the Demon Immortal?

So, the Sect Leader went to fight the Immortal, while the Severed-Hand Immortal chose to watch?

This...

Lu Chen fell silent. What could he do? That Severed Hand wasn't his true external Incarnation, much less a Dao Soldier. He didn't even know where the Severed-Hand Immortal had gone to fight, so how could he help his Sect Leader!

So he could only mourn for three seconds, 'Sect Leader, it's not a loss to be beaten by an Immortal!'

But after thinking about it, Lu Chen still revealed the truth to his Sect Leader: "Sect Leader, do you believe me when I say that wasn't my external Incarnation?"

An Immortal can exist, but not everyone should know that he has one, or even think it's his external Incarnation.

This wouldn't benefit him. Think about it, if your external Incarnation has become an Immortal, would you have the nerve to snatch resources from juniors?

If your external Incarnation has become an Immortal, then if you encounter a Demon Immortal again in the future, and you are asked to fight, what would you use?

Zhao Yujing's face was expressionless at first, as if saying, 'Do I look like an idiot?'

But soon, Zhao Yujing's eyes shifted, and he burst out laughing: "This Sect Leader believes you."

Why wouldn't he believe him!

He just knew, he just knew that with Lu Chen's strength and Realm, it was impossible to refine an Immortal Realm external Incarnation. Yet, that Immortal was exactly the same as Lu Chen's external Incarnation. Why?

If Zhao Yujing guessed correctly, that Immortal merely borrowed one of Lu Chen's external Incarnations as a vessel to reappear in the world.

Therefore, when he made his move, that Immortal showed no intention of helping at all, because that Immortal was not Lu Chen in the first place.

In an instant, Zhao Yujing was radiant. He thought, how could such an unreasonable existence exist in this world?

Just being in the Yang Spirit Realm allows one to refine an Immortal Realm external Incarnation, making him, the Holy Son of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, doubt his life. This makes no sense. But if that Immortal was originally an Immortal and not Lu Chen's external Incarnation, then it makes sense.

At this moment, even Jiang Daoqing let out a sigh of relief.

You can be a Heavenly Pride, or even a monster, but you can't be so bizarre!

Where can someone in the Yang Spirit Realm refine an Immortal Realm external Incarnation?

Looking back through history, it has never been heard of.

But now that it's explained this way, it's clear!

It's not jealousy, but a Yang Spirit Realm cultivator refining an Immortal Realm external Incarnation is too disruptive to established knowledge. Looking across the entire Human Realm, from supreme existences like Ascended Beings down to creatures just starting on the path of cultivation, everyone knows this is absolutely impossible.

But strangely, Lu Chen had displayed this before. Who wouldn't be confused by this?

Fortunately, the truth was not like that.

But soon, Zhao Yujing suddenly fell silent again, 'So, Lu Chen doesn't have an Immortal Realm external Incarnation, but he actually has an Immortal?'

An Immortal who follows Lu Chen at all times?!

It's regrettable, he, the Holy Son of the Dongxu Immortal Mansion, doesn't even have such treatment!

Waving his hand, Zhao Yujing suddenly lost interest in asking further. What was there to ask? He wouldn't ask anymore!

But there was still a question: why would an Immortal willingly follow Lu Chen?

There's something fishy!

However, the Holy Son did not ask further, because for now, this Immortal has not threatened Lu Chen, and is even willing to make a move for Lu Chen to fight another Immortal. This is enough.

Moreover, this kid Lu Chen is not someone easy to deal with. Let him be!

Following this, the Azure Underworld returned to peace, and the cultivators who had left returned one after another.

Several days later, Chen Tianshu, who had left, returned.

And he brought a piece of news: the Great Experts and Great Power of the Demon Clan were either executed or scattered. In this battle, the Human Race achieved a great victory. Additionally, the remaining Demon Clan and Human Race in the Starry Sky intervened in this matter, and the two races erupted in a great battle, which also ended with the Human Race victorious.

The Demon Immortal and Lu Chen's external Incarnation fought into the depths of the Starry Sky, their whereabouts unknown. Without other Fallen Immortals participating and without the Void Immortal Sect using Immortal Artifacts, it was difficult for anyone, human or demon, to get involved.

Furthermore, Jiang Daoqing declared on behalf of Lu Chen that the Immortal fighting the Demon Immortal was not Lu Chen's external Incarnation. Chen Tianshu merely pondered for a few moments before nodding thoughtfully.

'Could it be that this is why Lu Chen's cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds?'

Because an Immortal is constantly teaching Lu Chen!

After everything concluded, the group returned to the Azure Underworld and entered the Dongming Sect.

"Senior Grand Uncle, the matter of the Azure Underworld has been settled, why do we need to continue staying here?" Jiang Daoqing was puzzled.

Next, shouldn't they be taking Lu Chen back to the Dongxu Immortal Mansion?

Chen Tianshu pondered for a while, then suddenly asked in return: "Why would this small Azure Underworld have two Immortals appear?"

Jiang Daoqing's heart skipped a beat: "Senior Grand Uncle, do you mean..."

The Azure Underworld might still be hiding a great Opportunity that even Immortals covet?
