Cao Shiyun cautiously asked, "What about them?"
Lu Chen knew who Cao Shiyun was asking about and then said with a smile, "They are still in the Chaotic Sea."
Cao Shiyun fell silent for a mont before she spoke again, "I’m sorry."
She thought that Lu Chen’s words "they are still in the Chaotic Sea" ant that they were already dead.
Lu Chen saw that Cao Shiyun misunderstood his aning, so he lifted his hand and gave Cao Shiyun’s rear a slap with a "slap," saying, "What are you thinking? They’re all still alive."
"Although the Chaotic Sea is dangerous, it’s not entirely a dead end. We have created a space there that can resist the erosion of chaotic power."
Realizing her misunderstanding, Cao Shiyun quickly apologized again, "I’m... I’m sorry. I misunderstood. It’s good that they’re safe."
Lu Chen then said, "Alright, we’ve rested enough. Let’s continue and try to smoothly break through to beco True Immortals this ti."
Hearing this, a blush appeared on Cao Shiyun’s cold jade-like cheeks, "I understand."
Then Lu Chen embraced Cao Shiyun, flipped over, and pressed her under him again, continuing to help her improve her cultivation state. With the help of the ice and snow power that Lu Chen mastered, Cao Shiyun quickly began to feel the sense of breakthrough again.
Not long after, another path of ice and snow appeared over Frost City. When the cultivators of Frost City saw this path again, they were so frightened that they hurried into their secret chambers.
They had seen this sight half a year ago and thought the sa snow disaster from back then was about to occur again.
However, what surprised people was that this ti no snow disaster occurred. Although heavy snow fell under the influence of the ice and snow power, it was still within an acceptable range for the people.
Below Frost City, there was a spirit vein containing ice and snow power. It often snowed heavily in Frost City, so this amount of snow did not have much impact on the city’s cultivators.
At a certain mont, the shackles within Cao Shiyun’s body suddenly broke, and all at once, a vast amount of ice and snow power surged out from her body. Yet imdiately, her body frantically absorbed the ice and snow power that had just erupted from it.
In just an instant, all the ice and snow power over Frost City was absorbed by Cao Shiyun, and she successfully broke through to the True Immortal Realm, and Frost City saw a long-awaited sunny day.
Sensing the aura inside the room, Xiao Xueying knew that Cao Shiyun had successfully broken through. She instinctively wanted to go in and congratulate her, but upon rembering what was happening between Lu Chen and Cao Shiyun at that mont, a blush appeared on her cheeks.
After Cao Shiyun’s breakthrough, Lu Chen didn’t continue doing anything improper to her. He let her go, allowing Cao Shiyun to stabilize her immortal power on her own while he turned his attention to the system interface before him.
[Congratulations to the host for having a wife and concubine, rewarding Heaven Rank Swordsmanship Green Fall Cyan Dragon Roar.]
Lu Chen imdiately learned the swordsmanship rewarded by the system. The swordsmanship didn’t have any special features other than its high grade.
However, Heaven Rank swordsmanship could greatly enhance his strength. Once he restored his strength to the Immortal King Realm, he reckoned he could even contend with an Immortal Venerate using this swordsmanship.
After learning the swordsmanship, Lu Chen glanced at Cao Shiyun, who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breath, and then gently got up. He walked to the bedside and, with a wave of his hand, a white robe with gold trim appeared on his body, and then he left the room.
Cao Shiyun had already successfully broken through. Now, she only needed to stabilize her cultivation state, so there was no longer a need for him to assist by her side.
Lu Chen then stepped out of the room, and upon seeing him co out, Xiao Xueying imdiately approached him, "How is Senior Sister Cao?"
Lu Chen said, "She’s fine. She has successfully broken through and is now stabilizing her cultivation."
At this point, Lu Chen grabbed Xiao Xueying’s jade hand and pulled her into his embrace, looking into her eyes with a smile as he asked, "Senior Sister Xiao, have you missed during this ti?"
Hearing this teasing question, Xiao Xueying’s cheeks slightly heated up. The sounds from the room had been echoing in the courtyard all this ti. It’s impossible that she didn’t miss Lu Chen even a little.
Xiao Xueying suddenly rembered an important matter. She tried to control the restless immortal aura in her body and then said, "Recently, so rumors about you have suddenly started appearing in Frost City."
Hearing this, Lu Chen was taken aback—rumors about him? What kind of rumors?
Lu Chen asked, "Are those rumors about my past identity or my current identity?"
He now had two identities: one as the forr Chen King of the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, and another as the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master.
If the rumors outside were about his identity as the direct disciple of the Mysterious Moon Palace Hall Master, then it wouldn’t be surprising even if there were rumors. After all, he was taken in as a direct disciple by the Hall Master, and he was also a male disciple. People would naturally be very curious about him and would discuss him.
When many people discuss, rumors naturally erge.
However, what surprised Lu Chen was that Xiao Xueying said at this ti, "Those people are discussing Chen King."
Hearing this, Lu Chen’s mind froze.
Discussing his past identity?
In people’s eyes, hadn’t he been dead for billions of years? How could they still be discussing his affairs and even spreading so rumors?
Xiao Xueying continued, "There are rumors saying you were frad for rebellion by King Guangren back then, and it was he who colluded with the top powers of the Tianyan Immortal Domain against you, which forced you to escape into the Chaotic Sea."
Hearing Xiao Xueying’s words, Lu Chen looked perplexed.
What kind of rumor is this?
Even he himself knew that the reason why his father the emperor hated him back then was because of Lu Jingfu’s sches and provocations.
Later, Lu Jingfu further exaggerated the threat of him being in the Immortal King Realm, which forced those top forces to take him seriously and then sent strong cultivators to hunt him down.
These rumors are just bringing up old stories.
But then again, although these events did happen, it was still tens of billions of years ago. Most people who hadn’t achieved the Heavenly Immortal state are already dead. Although so who know the truth exist, there shouldn’t be many of them.
The most crucial question is how this information spread to Frost City. Frost City is far from the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty. If even Frost City has this rumor, then other places probably have it too.
It’s very likely that soone deliberately spread this rumor, but Lu Chen couldn’t figure out why they would do that.
In the eyes of those from back then, he should be long dead, so why would they specifically spread such a rumor about him?
Could it be White Feather City?
That shouldn’t be the case. When he left, he instructed Lu Zhengze to not reveal his return. Although he had been deed dead for billions of years in people’s eyes, who could say for sure that no one would suspect he wasn’t dead?
Didn’t Ye Chuyao already suspect him? If she heard this rumor, she would likely beco even more convinced that he is Lu Chen.
