Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Lu Chen did not take immediate action. He stood there in contemplation for a moment, then released his divine sense to investigate the situation in the forest.

The trees in this forest are hundreds of meters tall, and their branches and leaves are so dense that only a little sunlight can penetrate through the leaves to reach the ground, making the whole forest very dark.

After Lu Chen released his divine sense, he found that he could not perceive anything. Lu Chen immediately realized that this forest could block the divine sense of immortals.

Then I need to be even more careful. Generally speaking, places that can shield one from the divine sense of immortals are extremely dangerous.

Lu Chen then withdrew his divine sense and planned to leave the forest. However, he had not gone far when he heard a voice from afar.

"who?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Chen immediately stopped and turned around.

Deeper into the forest, a man covered in blood gradually emerged. As the man drew closer, Lu Chen was able to see his appearance clearly.

Lu Chen was slightly surprised when he saw who had arrived.

The visitor was from the Nine Heavens Academy, named Chu Zhengyu. He had seen Chu Zhengyu before, inside the body of the Chaos Beast.

Those who were able to follow Xuan Qingyun into the Chaos Sea and return safely to the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm should all be considered core members of the Nine Heavens Academy.

Lu Chen used the system to identify Chu Zhengyu's cultivation level and found that he was currently only at the Immortal King realm.

When Chu Zhengyu approached, he discovered that Chu Zhengyu was merely a mortal immortal, and his face immediately darkened.

He was seriously injured and his life was slipping away. If he didn't receive treatment soon, his body would be finished.

Although immortals will not die as long as their soul remains, their bodies are the strongest barrier for their souls. Once the body dies, the soul, without the protection of the body, becomes extremely vulnerable.

In this perilous little world, if he lost his body and was left only with his soul, he would likely perish if he encountered those ferocious beasts again.

Chu Zhengyu had sensed the aura of an immortal in this area and assumed that the other party was at least an Immortal Lord, perhaps carrying some precious healing medicine. However, upon closer inspection, he found that the other party was merely a mortal immortal.

Chu Zhengyu said with a dark face, "What are you, a mere mortal immortal, doing in this small world?"

"Any one of the ferocious beasts in here could swallow you whole."

Lu Chen said, "Senior, I came here with the elders of the immortal sect for training."

Hearing this, Chu Zhengyu was stunned for a moment.

Did they come in with the elders of the immortal sect to gain experience?
Chu Zhengyu was in the third group to enter and explore, so he was unaware of what was happening outside. He was puzzled as to why the Nine Heavens Academy would allow such a mortal immortal to come in for training.

After regaining his senses, Chu Zhengyu asked, "Experience? Which batch of people did you come in?"

Lu Chen replied, "This junior does not know."

Chu Zhengyu then asked, "How many people came in with you?"

Lu Chen replied, "There should be several hundred thousand people."

"Hundreds of thousands of people???" Chu Zhengyu was stunned again.

The previous groups of people who came to explore each numbered no more than five hundred, but this time there were hundreds of thousands of people.

Why would the Nine Heavens Academy send so many people in?

Chu Zhengyu quickly realized what was going on, and he looked at Lu Chen and asked, "So, you're not a disciple of the Nine Heavens Academy?"

Lu Chen said, "This junior comes from the Beast Alliance."

Lu Chen's words confirmed Chu Zhengyu's suspicions once again. He thought to himself, "It seems that the people outside, knowing the dangers inside, intend to send people from other immortal sects in first to clear away the perils." Then he said, "Show me your memories from this period of time."

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen immediately condensed a memory bead, storing the events that had occurred outside the small world during this period into the memory bead.

After the memory bead slowly flew to Chu Zhengyu's front, Chu Zhengyu laboriously raised his hand and poured his immortal power into the memory bead to read its contents.

After reading the memories, Chu Zhengyu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Hundreds of thousands of people have entered this time. If he encounters a being of the Celestial King level, he still has a chance to be saved.

Then Chu Zhengyu said to Lu Chen, "Go find a Celestial King and bring him here immediately."

As soon as Chu Zhengyu finished speaking, his body slumped against the tree trunk. His breath was extremely weak, and not only his body but also his soul had weakened considerably.

It was obvious that he had burned his divine soul power while exploring this small world, otherwise he wouldn't be so weak.

After hearing Chu Zhengyu's words, Lu Chen did not rush to leave. He still wanted to get some information about this small world from Chu Zhengyu.

After Chu Zhengyu sat down, seeing that Lu Chen hadn't left yet, he immediately frowned and said, "Why aren't you leaving yet!"

Chu Zhengyu felt his life force rapidly slipping away; if he didn't receive immediate treatment, he would soon die.

Lu Chen then said, "I know some healing techniques. Why don't I treat you first, senior?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Zhengyu glanced at Lu Chen.

This person indeed only possessed the aura of a mortal immortal, and didn't seem to have anything special about him, which made Chu Zhengyu very doubtful whether he really had the means to heal him.

However, he couldn't care less about that now. Even if he let this person leave to find other Immortal Kings, with his cultivation level as a mortal immortal, he would probably become food for those ferocious beasts before he even left this forest.

Moreover, even if this person did find other Celestial Kings, it's uncertain whether he would still be alive when he brought them here.

Since this person knows some healing techniques, let him treat me first.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhengyu said, "Alright, come and treat me."

Lu Chen then walked towards Chu Zhengyu. After arriving in front of Chu Zhengyu, Lu Chen squatted down, then raised his hand and poured life force into Chu Zhengyu.

As the life force entered Chu Zhengyu's body, Chu Zhengyu's vitality was rapidly recovering. Feeling his vitality recovering quickly, Chu Zhengyu was slightly taken aback.

This was even more effective than taking healing pills. He instantly understood how Lu Chen was using his treatment method, and then asked, "Are you cultivating the Great Dao of Life?"

Lu Chen replied, "Yes."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Chu Zhengyu was overjoyed. He was truly lucky to have encountered an immortal who cultivated the Great Dao of Life at such a time.

With this person's life force, his vitality will not be completely lost in a short period of time.

Chu Zhengyu then said to Lu Chen, "Once I get out of here alive, I will reward you handsomely."

Lu Chen said, "This is what a junior should do."

As Lu Chen spoke, he continued to channel life force into Chu Zhengyu. However, Lu Chen's channeling speed was very slow. Although Chu Zhengyu's body had recovered somewhat, he was still sitting on the ground and unable to get up.

Chu Zhengyu assumed that Lu Chen was a mortal immortal, so his understanding of the Great Dao of Life was not profound enough, and he could mobilize very little power of the Great Dao, so he didn't pay much attention to him.

At this moment, Lu Chen asked, "Senior, what realm are you in?" (End of Chapter)
