The reorganization of Red Demon Sect went smoothly, with no further issues.
After completing the reorganization, the Palace lord summoned Lin Chen again.
"The battle has ended, prepare to return to Great Wilderness Palace," he said.
Lin Chen nodded in agreent, "Which people?"
The Palace lord replied, "The guard team and Dawn Camp. The other legions each have their own stationing duties. Now that the chaos has just been subdued, they still need to maintain order throughout the Black Sky Demon Domain."
Lin Chen had no objections to this. He was now wholly preoccupied with contemplating how to return to the Immortal Realm.
He reckoned the Black Sky Demon Domain would remain this way for a long ti, but Lin Chen had never considered carving out a piece of land here and then playing the lord, contentedly passing his days in comfort.
The taste of being a foreigner in a strange land was not pleasant. He had no desire to stay here indefinitely.
Soon, Lin Chen, along with the Dawn Camp and the guard team, returned to the Great Wilderness Palace. The Palace lord first sought the permission of the Great Wilderness Saint, then led Lin Chen through the Teleportation Gate within the palace, arriving at the dead planet where the Great Wilderness Saint resided.
Lin Chen set foot on the red rocky ground and looked up at the profound sky, feeling deeply moved.
The Great Wilderness Saint lived all alone on this small planet?
Without clouds or any barrier, this planet was just an inconspicuous little asteroid in the universe.
Clearly, this place was not ant for normal life to thrive, although the Great Wilderness Saint was an exception.
A Saint, was that still an ordinary life?
Was this what it truly ant to look up at the heavens and observe the cosmic galaxy with the naked eye?
Entering the small courtyard of the Great Wilderness Saint, Lin Chen was quite surprised. The Saint lived here?
In Lin Chen’s estimation, should there not be a grand and majestic palace?
Wasn’t this a bit too down-to-earth?
As Lin Chen stepped into the courtyard, he caught sight of the Great Wilderness Saint lying on a chair. The Saint did not have the terrifying coercion of the Little Demon Emperor, nor were there any accompanying supernatural phenona. He appeared to be an ordinary person, lying quite casually on the chair.
He looked young, handso, with a casual and indifferent temperant, but he exuded a unique sense of superiority that was hard to describe in words.
"Lin Chen pays respects to the senior," Lin Chen said, respectfully greeting him, unable to calm his heart.
Although he had indirectly dealt with both the Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor, he had never been so close to a Saint before.
When Saints traveled, phenona were reborn, their might shattered the heavens, making them impossible to look at directly. Even if one tried hard, it was not possible to see them clearly. You could only see the "appearance" the Saints allowed to be seen; how could one see the true face of a Saint as now?
Thinking this way, the Great Wilderness Saint perhaps didn’t treat him as an outsider?
The eyes of the Great Wilderness Saint landed on Lin Chen’s face, sizing him up briefly, and then he smiled lightly, "I watched you for a long ti in Thunder Secret Realm. Today, I finally et you in person."
Lin Chen answered cautiously, "It was all thanks to the Palace lord’s special permission that I had the opportunity to enter the Secret Realm, to increase my strength, and due to a fortunate accident to be chosen by the Star Chart Spirit. I acquired the divine power of Star Sky Jump, and for all this, I owe much to the Palace lord."
The Great Wilderness Saint looked at Lin Chen again and suddenly laughed, "Are you worried that I’m still coveting the Star Chart Spirit, that I might strike at any mont to snatch it and dispose of you in the process?"
Lin Chen’s heart suddenly clenched fiercely, was he really asking this directly?
Lin Chen’s previous remarks were actually an attempt to probe the true intentions of the Great Wilderness Saint. After all, he was very weak in the presence of the Saint and could be eradicated with a flick of a wrist.
This worry, Lin Chen had never let go of it.
Since the other party asked directly, Lin Chen simply admitted candidly, "I dare not conceal the truth. Ever since I was chosen by the Star Chart Spirit, and afterward learned its origins, I have indeed always been worried. After all, such a great opportunity is truly imnse."
"The Star Chart Spirit was retrieved by the senior. Now it benefits , the junior generation, and I feel quite ashad in my heart. If one day the senior wishes to take it back, I will have absolutely no complaints, for it originally belonged to the senior, and I will cooperate fully."
By repeatedly ntioning "being chosen by the Star Chart Spirit," Lin Chen was telling the Great Wilderness Saint that this divine power was indeed formidable, but it wasn’t who stole your divine power; it was the Star Chart Spirit that chose and followed voluntarily; I was forced into this!
This item was originally yours, if you want it back, then I will return it to you!
Just tell what to do, and I will do it!
I’m being so cooperative; you can’t just kill because the Star Chart Spirit chose , right?
There’s no way around it; the difference in strength is too great.
Apart from "begging for rcy," Lin Chen had no other way out.
Moreover, Lin Chen ca here today to seek advice about the Gray Mirror, preparing to leave the Demon World. If he didn’t quickly declare his stance, and the Great Wilderness Saint thought he was trying to abscond with the spirit and got in a foul mood, might he not just directly finish off?
Even if he didn’t kill , if he knew the thod but refused to tell , wouldn’t the result be the sa?
The Great Wilderness Saint stared at Lin Chen, "Are you very afraid of death?"
Lin Chen gave a bitter smile, "Afraid, how could I not be? I’ve only lived just over a hundred years. My life is still very long, and I could say I am young with limitless prospects. To die so prematurely, I would definitely be unwilling."
"Besides, I have relatives, friends, people who love . If I died, they would surely be very sad."
The Great Wilderness Saint saw Lin Chen’s candid speech and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile on his face, "I heard you have several wives?"
Lin Chen was taken aback for a mont, then nodded, "Yes."
Saints are gossips too?
The Great Wilderness Saint stared at Lin Chen, smiling slightly, "My disciple quite likes you. How about it? Divorce them all, send them away, and be with my disciple, what do you say?"
As soon as the Great Wilderness Saint spoke these words, both Lin Chen and the Palace lord were greatly shocked.
The Palace lord quickly said, "Master, don’t ss with matchmaking, when did I ever say I liked him?"
"Be quiet!"
The Great Wilderness Saint extended his hand to stop the Palace lord and then looked at Lin Chen, "What do you say?"
Lin Chen glanced at the Palace lord next to him. Because she wore a mask, Lin Chen couldn’t see her complexion, but he could see the embarrassnt and anxiety in those beautiful eyes.
She clearly wanted to say sothing, but the Great Wilderness Saint would not permit it.
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze, perford a respectful salutation with his hands, "The senior jests. The Palace lord holds such a distinguished status, with great strength. Although I consider myself fairly decent, I am clearly far inferior to the Palace lord, and how would she take a liking to ?"
"Furthermore, my wives and I have trudged through countless life and death monts together, enduring hardships, never abandoning one another until today. How could I possibly beco a faithless and fickle person?"
"This is sothing I truly cannot manage, I ask the senior for understanding."
The Great Wilderness Saint asked calmly, "Are you sure you need to think it over carefully? So choices in life, if made incorrectly, can cost you your life!"
Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, but eventually gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, senior, but my choice will not change."
After a pause, Lin Chen raised his head, eting the eyes of the Great Wilderness Saint, "Matters of the heart cannot be forced. If the senior, being a Saint, insists on intervening by force, we naturally have no power to resist. At worst, we’ll just beco desperate lovers!"
