A radiance descended, interrupting Shi Haoyu’s words.
Shi Haoyu caught the radiance, swept it with his Divine Sense, and stepped to the side, saying, "Co with ."
Shi Haoyu didn’t speak further but directly led the two to the top floor, then turned and left.
After so distance, Shi Haoyu turned back, gazing at Lin Chen’s figure with a complex expression.
Envy, jealousy, admiration...
The Palace lord had never been so amiable with any young man!
The Palace lord had always been aloof, maintaining a distance from everyone, especially young, accomplished, and single powerhouses, to avoid any misunderstandings.
Lin Chen had not been here long, yet he frequently entered and left the private residence of the Palace lord, who was also lenient towards him. During Lin Chen’s battle with the Lv Family, the Palace lord had helped suppress all voices of opposition.
Even though the Palace lord used Lin Chen to intimidate the Lv Family and others, this special regard was not sothing just anyone could receive.
Could it be the Palace lord had taken a liking to him?
...
No sooner had Lin Chen and Master Floating Cloud landed in the courtyard than Bai Zhu had already co to greet them.
"Lin Chen, the Hall Master is aware of your purpose and has asked to lead him into the Thunder Secret Realm."
Lin Chen was not surprised and said with a laugh, "Alright, thank you!"
Master Floating Cloud also bowed in thanks, "Thank you, young lady!"
Bai Zhu’s eyes fell on Master Floating Cloud’s face, and she said with a light laugh, "Don’t ntion it. I’m just showing the way. You are Lin Chen’s master?"
Master Floating Cloud nodded, "Yes."
Bai Zhu chuckled, "Your disciple is quite extraordinary!"
Master Floating Cloud humbly said, "I haven’t taught him much; his achievents are all due to his own efforts."
Bai Zhu grinned, glanced at Lin Chen beside her, and waved to Master Floating Cloud, "Co with !"
Bai Zhu led Master Floating Cloud away directly, and Lin Chen watched their figures disappearing before suddenly realizing, what about himself?
Should he turn back?
He was here already, if he were to leave, should he say sothing to the Palace lord?
"Co in."
While Lin Chen was still hesitating, the Palace lord’s crisp voice ca from the room.
Lin Chen sighed in relief and stepped into the room.
In the living room, the Palace lord was sitting in a chair. There was no mask on her face, but it still seed veiled by a thin mist, barely revealing traces of her beautiful features yet remaining unclear.
Lin Chen was quite surprised; wasn’t the Palace lord always in the next room, separated by a bead curtain?
Why was she sitting directly in the living room today?
Was it because they had already been in close contact before, so maintaining distance with a bead curtain now seed aningless?
Lin Chen halted his steps and bowed, "Palace lord!"
The Palace lord humd in acknowledgnt, slightly tilting her head and gesturing with her chin towards a spot beside her.
"Sit."
Lin Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and took a seat on the chair to the left of the Palace lord.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Chen knew what she was asking and replied with a smile, "It’s fine, although the Star Chart Spirit is Angry at being trapped in my Sea of Knowledge, it’s reasonable and didn’t take its anger out on or make a fuss."
The Palace Lord emitted a hum, "Is it just staying there?"
Lin Chen answered, "It has communicated with and said it can grant certain permissions to teach how to use Star Sky Jump."
The Palace Lord’s voice slightly rose, "It is willing to teach you Divine Power?"
"Yes."
Lin Chen’s tone shifted, "But this Divine Power can only be executed through its will, otherwise, even if I know the thod, it is of no use without its cooperation. I won’t be able to jump anywhere."
The Palace Lord was silent for two seconds, "So, it ans that it has temporarily recognized you?"
Lin Chen thought about it and nodded, "That should be the case. But I guess it had no other choice, that’s why it acted this way. It probably wants to leave here and return to the starry skies more."
The Palace Lord emitted a hum, "By choosing you, perhaps it wants to use you to gauge the Saint’s thoughts, but let’s discuss the future later. For now, make good use of it."
Lin Chen nodded, the Palace Lord’s attitude naturally represented that of the Great Wilderness Saint, which ant it matched with what he had anticipated. Even if he was open about it, he was temporarily safe.
Even though he could utilize this Divine Power, the source of the power was the Star Chart Spirit. It must cooperate for him to use it; if it doesn’t, he couldn’t use it. Under such circumstances, what use would there be for the Great Wilderness Saint to forcefully take it?
If the Star Chart Spirit was willing to succumb to the Great Wilderness Saint and cooperate with him, it would have done so long ago. Why wait till now?
Lin Chen had also pondered over this matter. Logically speaking, since the Great Wilderness Saint was more powerful, wouldn’t following him propose a better future for the Star Chart Spirit?
After much consideration, Lin Chen felt that the reason the Star Chart Spirit was not willing to succumb to the Great Wilderness Saint was precisely because the Saint was too powerful!
Once the Star Chart Spirit submitted to the Great Wilderness Saint, it might truly be subordinated under him for a lifeti without any day of freedom.
It was willing to lend its abilities to him and even promised to leave an avatar for him in the future so that he could still use the Divine Powers. What for?
Was it not just so that, after learning the Divine Powers, he would stand a chance to leave the influence of the Great Wilderness Saint and escape the Demon World?
As for the Seal in the Sea of Knowledge, as long as his Strength increased, he would be able to break the Seal one day.
He was rely providing himself with so reward in advance for his future freedom.
With him, the Star Chart Spirit still held hope for freedom. With the Great Wilderness Saint, it never would.
"Your cultivation has ended now, what are your plans?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Our Dawn Camp is a subordinate of the Palace Lord, so we naturally follow the Palace Lord’s orders."
The Palace Lord emitted a hum, very satisfied with Lin Chen’s attitude.
She was well aware that Lin Chen and the entire Dawn Camp did not truly consider themselves a part of the Great Wilderness; they were only here for refuge, but even if it was rely a transaction, both parties still had to fulfill their respective duties.
I am your Superior, I provide protection for you, and you are my Subordinate, naturally, you should also do what a subordinate ought to do.
As for the future, we’ll see then!
"Previously, during your ti in the Thunder Secret Realm, your Dawn Camp engaged in one combat, your opponent was the Demon God Army..."
Lin Chen nodded, "I know what we should do."
"Very good."
The Palace Lord praised, "The Great Wilderness Palace has the Military and also elite teams, but excluding the Quasi-Saint, the Combat Power might not even match that of the Dawn Camp. This ti, the Dawn Camp significantly defeated the elite of the Demon God Army, demonstrating the Combat Power of the Dawn Camp."
Lin Chen explained, "In the Immortal Demon War, each team in the First Corps expanded by half. I pulled in all the sect powerhouses I knew, and with the support of over a hundred Great Demons, we achieved today’s Combat Power. This isn’t the normal Combat Power of a Military team."
The Palace Lord nodded, but suddenly changed the subject, "Currently our Great Wilderness Palace is expanding its influence outward. What do you think we should achieve?"
Lin Chen blinked, watching the Palace Lord, his voice lowered slightly, "To occupy and control the entire Black Sky Demon Domain?"
