"Six months have passed, any news from the Immortal-Demon Battlefield?"
The Great Wilderness Palace naturally had its unique channels of information. The battle at the Immortal-Demon Battlefield was raging fiercely; there was no way the Great Wilderness Palace could ignore it.
Master Floating Cloud answered, "It’s still the sa, no changes."
Lin Chen frowned, "Half of the Crimson Immortal Domain has fallen into the hands of the Demon Race, and the Immortal Realm hasn’t made any significant moves?"
Master Floating Cloud sighed, "I wish they would, but it seems there really hasn’t been any. The Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor had a fight before. It’s said both were equally injured. For such big shots, injuries aren’t sothing that can be recovered from in just a day or two."
"Yes, the sa amount of ti ans different things to them and to us."
Indeed, Saints live eternally. Forget about healing, even their daily ditation and comprehension might take hundreds, even thousands of years. This half a year might not even count as a blink of an eye to them.
Territory disputes?
Wars?
Are these big issues for Saints?
The ultimate direction of the war between Immortal and Demon Worlds isn’t decided by the Immortal Demon Armies fighting on the ground but by the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
The fights among Saints are the deciding factors.
Even if you win a total victory on the battlefield, but if the Saints lose, or get severely injured and die, what will you use to fend off the opposing Saints?
Lin Chen had not understood this before. Since the Saints determined the outco, why didn’t the Saints just fight directly, settle the dispute, and then simply hand over the territory? Why bother launching such large-scale wars that result in so many deaths?
Now, Lin Chen no longer wondered, particularly understanding the situation on the Demon World’s side, his mind was clearer.
Wars indeed resulted in deaths, but they could resolve more issues.
The rapidly increasing number of cultivators and the ever-scarcer cultivation resources were the central issues.
Besides, who would govern the new territories?
Who would be the new nobility?
Many issues could be answered and resolved within the context of war.
Saints have their battles, and immortals have their own!
They have to fight not only the enemy but also compete with their kin.
Competition!
The Immortal Path has always been against the natural order; cultivators not only have to compete with Heaven but with others as well.
A cultivator’s life is a life of constant struggle.
Could there ever be peaceful and tranquil years for cultivators?
Unless you have nothing at all, you’re bound to attract attention. But if you have nothing, how can you cultivate at all?
Just by relying on the Heavenly Earthly Spiritual Qi, what significant achievents can you make?
Want resources?
Then you must fight and compete!
"Alright, since it temporarily doesn’t involve us, let’s just focus on our matters. By the way, Master, are you heading to the Thunder Secret Realm next?"
Master Floating Cloud widened his eyes in surprise, "?"
Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there are three slots available, and the second slot is for you, Master. I hope it will help you reach a new level of strength."
Looking at Lin Chen’s resolute eyes, Master Floating Cloud felt greatly reassured. It wasn’t that he necessarily needed the slot, but Lin Chen’s decision showed that he valued him as a ntor.
Now, he could "humbly" boast to others about how effortlessly his disciple had surpassed him and beco extraordinary, even surpassing the master himself.
"I am already at the Daluo Peak; entering the Thunder Secret Realm has a high chance of wasting the slot..."
Entering the Thunder Secret Realm as a Daluo Peak did have the potential to reach sainthood, but it was only a possibility, not a certainty.
Hadn’t Lin Chen entered the Secret Realm for six months and only managed to enhance so strength? His realm was still stuck at the Middle Grade.
Being stuck at Middle Grade is already challenging, let alone for soone at the Daluo Peak!
Master Floating Cloud suggested, "Why not give it to other juniors with potential?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "Master, please don’t be modest. While I do have so personal reasons, a lot of it is for considering our Dawn Camp. We don’t lack an additional Daluo Peak; what we lack is a Quasi-Saint."
"If this slot is given to soone else, even if they escalate to Daluo Peak and possess strength equal to yours, our Dawn Camp would just be gaining another expert, and our overall strength wouldn’t change much."
"But if you have the opportunity and good fortune to beco a Quasi-Saint, then we will have gained a powerhouse. When Dawn Camp faces warfare again, our capability to handle risks will be much higher."
Listening to Lin Chen, Master Floating Cloud suddenly realized and didn’t hesitate any longer, "Alright, I’ll take this opportunity then, but if I don’t make that step, don’t be disappointed."
Lin Chen laughed, "Master, don’t feel pressured. If it happens, it’s good, if not, it’s also fine."
Master Floating Cloud no longer demurred. Deep down, even if there was just a glimpse of a chance, who wouldn’t want to beco a Quasi-Saint?
If Master Floating Cloud achieved Quasi-Sainthood, he could protect the Dragon Mountain Sect in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain for countless years!
"I’ll take you to et the Palace Lord tomorrow."
"Okay!"
After sealing the deal for Master Floating Cloud to enter the Thunder Secret Realm, Lin Chen returned to his own quarters.
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
He still had to communicate with the Star Chart Spirit. Only ghosts know how it would react upon finding out it was sealed in the Sea of Knowledge.
"Hey..."
The Star Chart Spirit responded, "Have you left the Thunder Secret Realm?"
The Star Chart Spirit, residing in Lin Chen’s Sea of Knowledge, naturally didn’t know the external circumstances and needed Lin Chen to inform it.
The Sea of Knowledge, that was Lin Chen’s private domain.
"Two pieces of news, one good, one bad. Which would you like to hear first?"
The Star Chart Spirit asked, "What’s the good news?"
"I’ve left the Thunder Secret Realm and am now at the Great Wilderness Palace, under the domain of the Great Wilderness Saint. I am currently one of the direct subordinates of the Palace Lord, who is a disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint."
The voice of the Star Chart Spirit sounded a bit more cheerful, "You left the Great Wilderness Palace, and the Great Wilderness Saint didn’t stop you? What’s the bad news?"
Lin Chen replied, "The Palace Lord asked about the incidents that occurred, and I answered as we discussed before. She didn’t do anything to , but the Great Wilderness после отправки, there’s always the그것을 deco런material(photo_SYM)在我的识海通道上..."
"What?"
The Star Chart Spirit, transford into a Black Pearl, imdiately plunged toward the Sea of Knowledge passage, only to be blocked as expected.
It couldn’t get out!
The Star Chart Spirit repeatedly charged several tis but failed to break through, becoming fiercely enraged, "I knew it! I knew he wouldn’t easily let go!"
Lin Chen quickly absolved himself of responsibility, "I had nothing to do with this, you know. He’s a Saint, and I’m rely a low-level cultivator..."
"It’s not your fault!"
The Star Chart Spirit was reasonably understanding and didn’t bla Lin Chen for the matter, grudgingly dropping the subject. Then it asked, "What did he tell you, since he sealed here, surely he must have told you sothing?"
