As soon as Chu Jiaxue spoke, Gu Yuexi, Yao Xuanji, and Nalan Wushuang all turned their gazes towards Shang Wenyao.
Shang Wenyao’s face was imdiately tinged with embarrassnt. She dared not et the eyes of the others, looking downward at her feet with her lashes lowered.
Gu Yuexi said with a smile, "Sister Yan is still shy, eh? Haven’t you been waiting for this day for a long ti? For Brother Chen, you have held back so much. Now that Brother Chen has finally reached the peak of Daluo, you don’t need to keep waiting. It’s ti to fully join our big family."
Though Shang Wenyao had long integrated into this family and beca a mber, she and Lin Chen have not yet crossed that threshold. She did this to save the possibility of a breakthrough and Ascension to Quasi-Saint realm for Lin Chen.
Previously, an Ancestral Master from Shang Wenyao’s sect, despite the ethics of seniority, had forcibly wanted to marry Shang Wenyao. After Lin Chen took Shang Wenyao away, he even searched the world for her and approached Gathering Immortal Island hoping to track her whereabouts. However, Lin Chen thwarted his plans, cutting off his path.
Shang Wenyao was shy but she too had been looking forward to this day for a long ti.
Although everyone treated her as a sister, as part of the family, she ultimately hadn’t fully ascended; whenever the other won discussed intimate topics between n and won, Shang Wenyao would feel awkward.
"I will listen to everyone."
Although Shang Wenyao was a bit shy, she readily expressed her stance.
Lin Chen thought even deeper: "I have just reached the peak of Daluo and still have little understanding of the Dao. Trying under these conditions might not yield results. Maybe I should enter Closed Door Cultivation first, comprehend the Heavenly Dao and when I have so insights, then attempt it. I would try my best not to let down Wenyao’s kind feelings."
Nalan Wushuang smiled and said, "Aren’t there still many Qingming Divine Fruits in the tower? Using them to aid in comprehension should bring twice the result with half the effort."
Lin Chen considered, "Qingming Divine Fruit is indeed effective, but what’s more mysterious is it can change perspectives to comprehend others’ experiences. If at this mont soone is Breaking the Realm, I consu the Qingming Divine Fruit and comprehend by their side, the effect would definitely be great."
Chu Jiaxue bitterly smiled, "How difficult it is to Break the Realm and beco a Quasi-Saint! In the entire Immortal Realm, how many Quasi-Saints are there? And to find one at this ti is not easy."
Lin Chen smiled helplessly, "Of course it’s not easy. For a normal immortal to reach the peak of Daluo, it can already be said to be at the pinnacle of the world. Only a few can step beyond that, and stepping beyond is a qualitative leap."
"Quasi-Saint, that’s also touching the realm of Saints. Immortal and Saint, these are two completely different realms, heaven and earth. To step beyond is like a mortal ascending to the heavens, extrely difficult."
Gu Yuexi suggested, "Why don’t you ask the Hall Master? Recently, there has been the Immortal Demon War followed by the battle with the demons. Many Daluo peaks participated in the intense battles where individuals often gain more enlightennt, and the chances of understanding the Breaking the Realm might greatly increase. Maybe soone has gained such insight and is ready to Break the Realm now?"
Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, praising, "This suggestion is great, I’ll ask about it later. Asking won’t cause any loss anyway."
Chu Jiaxue asked, "What if the Hall Master asks what you want to do? How will you respond?"
Lin Chen confidently replied, "Observe, exchange knowledge, learn; aren’t these normal actions? I now have status and position. If indeed there is such a person, asking him for a favor to let observe and form a goodwill should not be a problem, right?"
Pausing, Lin Chen lifted his chin slightly and nodded towards Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang: "I bring several Quasi-Saints with , he shouldn’t refuse to give face, right?"
Lin Chen’s last remark made all the ladies burst into laughter, imaginations vivid with the scene that might unfold.
An Immortal at the peak of Daluo about to achieve a breakthrough, suddenly approached by a group of people seeking his aid. The scene of watching him comprehend his breakthrough surrounded by several Quasi-Saints made the peak Daluo Immortal shiver and he quickly agreed.
The matter of breakthrough was thus settled, and Lin Chen brought up another topic: "The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch has given the Tao Ding to . You all may enter it to cultivate. Should any of you reach a bottleneck, you can use the Qingming Divine Fruit, and you all need to ascend to peak Daluo quickly."
"Once you reach peak Daluo, with the miraculous effects of the Qingming Divine Fruit, we can observe others’ breakthroughs, and then have our own people achieve a breakthrough, and repeatedly reference, ultimately achieving a breakthrough for all of us."
"Our family should stick together; no one should be left behind. Now we are Quasi-Saints, who knows, maybe later our family will all beco Saints."
Gu Yuexi, Yao Xuanji, and Shang Wenyao’s eyes all lit up.
Indeed, if one could repeatedly observe and from different perspectives comprehend the Heavenly Dao, then the final breakthrough to beco a Quasi-Saint wouldn’t seem so difficult.
Lin Chen would first go to observe the Quasi-Saints who are undergoing breakthroughs from the outside and comprehend. If he succeeds, then our group may also comprehend, thus greatly improving the chances of success.
"What about the upcoming wars, are we not participating anymore?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We’ll just take a leave. Officially, you all are my trusted aides, so if I take a leave, naturally you all will take leave together. Moreover, the upcoming battles are likely to be primarily among Saints, and the casualty rate for ordinary immortals in battle is too high; certainly, the strategy will need adjustnt."
After arranging everything, Lin Chen settled down to ditate and recover.
When Lin Chen woke from his ditation, several days had already passed. His first action was to inquire about the results of the battle from the previous days.
"Have the Immortal Emperors returned yet?"
Chu Jiaxue replied, "They have returned. According to the news released by the Hall Master, five Saints raided the headquarters of the Abyss Demons, nearly leveling the entire headquarters, resulting in countless demon casualties and severe losses. Due to the suddenness of the attack, the Demon Lords were caught unprepared and suffered significant injuries in the hasty battle, including Lord Charm Erosion and Lord Ao Jue."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s good news indeed, but this ssage is essentially for everyone to hear; the actual situation might be sowhat different."
Chu Jiaxue, understandingly said, "Indeed, it’s better to report the good news and not the bad downstairs to uplift the spirit. Besides, even if there were major issues, talking about them would only add to everyone’s stress and bring morale down, without offering a solution."
Lin Chen nodded, "That’s the reason. What about Susu, hasn’t she returned?"
Nalan Wushuang chuckled lightly, "She was just temporarily by your side, you really took her for your trusted aide. Now that her Master is here, she is surely following her master. What, missing her already?"
Lin Chen helplessly explained, "Not missing her, it’s just that she’s the direct disciple of the Great Wilderness Saint, so she obviously has first-hand news; I was just trying to get so information. Never mind, I’ll ask the Hall Master and also take the opportunity to ask for a leave..."
