"Huh, so early, Junior Brother, what brings you the pleasure of drinking tea here?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch was still hesitating, when suddenly a clear voice entered his ears.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch's expression changed slightly, without turning around he already knew who had come.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch!

Qingluan Immortal Monarch's face showed a gentle smile as he turned his head and looked at the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch floating in midair.

"Senior Brother, you are up early too."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch floated in midair, his body surrounded by a faint rainbow light, and with his white robe, he looked exceedingly handsome and carefree, emanating an air of immortality and style.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch stepped through the void and came forward, laughing lightly, "Moved by a feeling, I came out for a walk, and it turns out there's good tea to be had. I trust Junior Brother wouldn't be stingy would you?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch responded with a hearty laugh, "Normally, we brothers are each responsible for different duties and are quite busy so there's no time to sit down leisurely like this. Now that we are at the front line but even got some downtime, the tea is just right. It's a good time to taste how Junior Brother's tea is."

Qingluan Immortal Monarch waved his hand to the side, and the handmaid again arranged another chair on the other side of the tea table.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch floated down, and Lin Chen could not ignore him, so he quickly got up to greet with a cupped-fist salute: "Immortal Monarch!"

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said with a laugh, "I thought you were still assimilating the Blood Flame Wine, but I underestimated you, being able to make a round in the Demon World and return in one piece, your abilities are indeed no small feat."

Lin Chen humbly replied, "Immortal Monarch flatters me, my innate divine powers are the Five Elements Great Escape, and I have cultivated in all Five Elements Techniques, so the absorption is relatively faster."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch sat down beside Qingluan Immortal Monarch and took the tea the handmaid handed him, smiling, "Did I miss anything important?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch said with a smile, "Senior Brother, you really missed some interesting stories about Lin Chen, he actually has a connection with Jade Star Lord..."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said with a smile, "I heard him mention before that Jade Star Lord gave him a magical treasure to help him escape back from the Demon World, but I didn't inquire in detail, seems there's a story behind it?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch did not ask Lin Chen to retell the tale, instead, he began to narrate the history between Lin Chen and Jade Star Lord in a brief summary.

After listening, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch turned his head to Qingluan Immortal Monarch, "You told him?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch replied, "He asked me about it, and I thought, he is, after all, a distinguished contributor, and he's one of our own, so I answered him."

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded with a smile, "Indeed, when it comes to the relationship, he's really not an outsider."

The conversation between the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and Qingluan Immortal Monarch was vague, but Lin Chen understood.

They were discussing the matters about Jade Star Lord.

"Did you talk about Lin Chen's journey to the Demon World?"

"Not yet."

Qingluan Immortal Monarch answered with a smiling face: "I was drinking tea here, and it just so happened that I met him, and we've only just sat down for a while."

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch said with a laugh, "That's good, saves me from repeating it twice. It wouldn't bother me to ask, but he'd definitely be annoyed telling it again."

Qingluan Immortal Monarch shifted his body to lie more comfortably on the chair and said with a smile, "I have comfortably settled in and am all ears now."

Holding a teacup, Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch smiled warm as a spring breeze, "Lin Chen, the floor is yours."

"The two Immortal Monarchs are too kind."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Chen got straight to recounting his adventures in the Demon World.

Since he had already disclosed the existence of Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian, many things became simpler to talk about without raising suspicions, even when Lin Chen's narrative was not entirely clear or seemed unbelievable. Particularly when one considered the Quasi-Saint always at Lin Chen's side, it all seemed quite normal.

Lin Chen spoke at length; not only were the Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch and Qingluan Immortal Monarch listening intently, but even the two stunning handmaids serving them were engrossed in the tale.

This was the same Demon World that fought twenty-seven great battles with the Immortal Realm!

Such numerous battles always resulted in captives of various numbers. Those captives remained in the Demon World and, as Lin Chen said, even established their own clans, but none could ever return to the Immortal Realm. Lin Chen was the first!

The Little Demon Emperor's forces were stationed at the Immortal Demon Channel, with Magical Treasures stationed there as well. In such circumstances, not only did Lin Chen return, but he also managed to bring back over a thousand members of his team.

That's not something just anyone could accomplish.

After Lin Chen finished recounting, he concluded, "It's all thanks to the Talisman given by the Great Wilderness Palace lord that we could avoid the Little Demon Emperor's detection. If we had been discovered, likely not one of us would have escaped."

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch said, "Bravery, wits, compassion, loyalty—characters like you are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in today's Immortal Realm. No wonder Junior Brother holds you in such high regard."

After a pause, Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch asked, "How do you feel about serving as the Vice Corps Commander at War God Mansion right now?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It's quite good. I can contribute to the protection of the Immortal Realm and earn military merit."

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch queried with a smile, "Have you ever thought of changing your environment?"

Upon hearing this, Qingluan Immortal Monarch's eyebrows immediately knit together.

Was Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch planning to poach Lin Chen right in front of him?

Lin Chen clearly understood the implications and responded without hesitation, "I currently have no such plans. I've been involved in rebuilding and training the First Corps and have grown quite fond of it..."

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch chuckled, "I'm not talking about right now. Haven't you seen that we've all come here? At least we need to fight until a definitive result is achieved, or else it definitely won't stop."

"What I mean is, after this war is over, you can't stay in War God Mansion forever, right? Of course, that wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but I think you have a lot of potential and should have broader opportunities."

Feigning confusion, Lin Chen asked, "When I came here, my hope was to earn military merit and contribute. If the war stops, I would surely leave, but what do you mean by 'broader opportunities'?"

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch grinned, "I admire your abilities. If you're willing, you could come help me at Rainbow Palace. I'm responsible for many important matters and need capable and trustworthy people to assist. I think you would fit the bill."

Hearing this, Qingluan Immortal Monarch said with a smile, "Senior Brother, you oversee the Heavenly Army Hall, and naturally, these are core responsibilities of the Holy Heart Palace. But with our Master present, who would dare stir trouble in the Eight-direction Immortal Realm? Though the Heavenly Army Hall is important, it's been many years since it's been deployed, hasn't it?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch turned to look at Lin Chen and said with a smile, "Lin Chen, just like Senior Brother, I greatly admire you. If you're willing, you could come to my Qingluan Garden. Rest assured, I'm not asking you to be a subordinate kneeling before me. If you decide to join, you would be offered the position of Guest Elder. Although I am technically the host and employer, we would be on equal footing in terms of status. We can speak frankly and decide things through discussion."

Seven-Colored Immortal Monarch turned to look at Qingluan Immortal Monarch and said with a laugh, "Junior Brother, are you planning to compete with Senior Brother for a person?"
