Xu Chen's public attention had almost completely vanished.
At this moment, Xu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
He rolled his neck, and it immediately crackled like popping beans.
The next second, his body trembled.
His aura abruptly revealed itself: peak Immortal Emperor First Heaven.
In merely a month, he had nearly broken through to Immortal Emperor Second Heaven.
One could well imagine just how formidable Xu Chen's talent was.
At this moment, Xu Chen directly turned into a beam of light and shot out from the Queen Mother Immortal Palace.
Almost instantly, he saw the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West smiled lightly. "How has your cultivation been?"
Xu Chen nodded. "It has gone very smoothly. I've nearly reached Immortal Emperor Second Heaven."
Upon hearing that, joy immediately appeared on Yaochi Queen Mother of the West's face.
It was as though Xu Chen's cultivation were her own.
She continued:
"Today, the Lin family released word that anyone may claim the Mysterious Wood Spirit Pendant, but they must pass the Lin family's test.
"Are you interested in taking a look? I heard the Mysterious Wood Spirit Pendant possesses an extremely rich life force and can bring someone back from the dead."
Xu Chen nodded. "Of course I'm interested. I'd also like to see the true Mysterious Wood Spirit Pendant."
Although he had seen this item before—indeed, he truly had—
it had always been in Ye Xuan's hands before. After all, Ye Xuan had once been the protagonist, and all good things belonged to him.
But now, Xu Chen naturally wanted to have a look.
In any case, even if he seized the protagonist's belongings in this life, there would be no problem whatsoever.
Yaochi Queen Mother of the West smiled. "Perfect. Let's go take a look."
