The Sea Burning Immortal Monarch did not obtain the Linglong Tower. To keep the secret, he crippled Gu Yue and imprisoned him in the Void Pearl, waiting for the reappearance of the Linglong Tower.
The Sea Burning Immortal Monarch was well aware of the deep, father-daughter-like bond between the Linglong Tower's Artifact Spirit, Qi, and Gu Yue. As long as the Linglong Tower appeared, he could threaten Qi with Gu Yue and would surely succeed.
Now, the Linglong Tower he had waited so long for finally appeared, but unfortunately, not in the way the Sea Burning Immortal Monarch had anticipated.
Lin Chen comforted, "Although your Sea of Knowledge is destroyed, as long as you recover well, your body can slowly heal. Even if you can't fight like before, living as a hermit for your remaining years is entirely feasible."
Gu Yue acted indifferent, chuckling, "It's not important. For all this time, I've been most worried about little Qi. Now that I know she's fine, I'm completely at ease."
