"The entire army retreats, leaving only the quasi-saints?"
Lin Chen listened to the latest military orders and breathed a sigh of relief.
It seed that the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch had reported to the Immortal Emperor and convinced him, resulting in the current order.
"In that case, let’s stay."
Chu Jiaxue considered briefly, and decided to stay: "All the other quasi-saints are staying to fight. It’s not good for us to run away."
Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Since we have decided to retreat to the rear, there shouldn’t be any danger there. Following you will be of no use, so we’d better stay here and help kill demons."
Lin Chen looked at the two won and finally nodded: "Alright, then be careful. I’ll give you a beacon. If you encounter danger, activate the beacon imdiately to contact , and I’ll co to take you away."
Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang nodded. Although Lin Chen’s strength was not on par with the two of them, his star sky jumping divine power was sothing they could not surpass.
Relying on this star sky jump, even a demon lord couldn’t catch him.
If they encountered danger, as long as they weren’t directly targeted and instantly killed or captured by a demon lord, they’d have to count on Lin Chen to save them.
The people made their decision, and Lin Chen, Yao Xuanji, Gu Yuexi, and Shang Wenyin retreated with the army.
Soon, the large troops retreated to the Crimson Immortal Domain through the Teleportation Gate. Once the troops settled down, a Da Luo peak whom Lin Chen had previously visited attempted to break through the realm.
This Da Luo peak, nad Gao Cheng, personally inford Lin Chen and invited him to observe.
Lin Chen gladly accepted.
At this mont, Yao Xuanji and the three won had entered ditation using Tao Ding to enhance their strength. Although Lin Chen originally wanted them to observe and comprehend Gao Cheng’s breakthrough, they refused.
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to observe and comprehend, but to enter that mysterious state of comprehension, they needed to consu a Qingming Divine Fruit.
There were many Qingming Divine Fruits on the Qingming Divine Tree planted in the Linglong Tower, but only about twenty of them were mature and consumable at the mont.
Watching once required consuming a Qingming Divine Fruit. Whether observing and comprehending would be useful remained to be verified, and how many tis they needed to comprehend to touch that threshold was also a question.
Moreover, the three won’s strength hadn’t yet reached the Da Luo peak, so even if they consud the Qingming Divine Fruit, it might not be beneficial. Given the limited number of Qingming Divine Fruits, they were unwilling to waste any.
Anyway, Lin Chen needed them the most now, so ensuring his needs was the priority.
After Gao Cheng fully prepared, he chose a Qi-rich absolute peak for his breakthrough, guarded by his sect’s disciples to prevent any disturbance.
Lin Chen sat cross-legged on a nearby side peak, keeping a distance from Gao Cheng to ensure he could sense everything happening without disturbing him.
This was because Lin Chen had a special status. If it were anyone else, those aiming for a Da Luo peak breakthrough might not agree, as it was crucial for them. Being disturbed or destroyed would be a lifelong regret.
Gao Cheng quickly entered ditation, remaining motionless.
Lin Chen didn’t rush to consu the Qingming Divine Fruit but quietly ditated, observing, especially paying attention to the spiritual energy fluctuations around Gao Cheng.
According to Chu Jiaxue’s and Nalan Wushuang’s personal experiences, when entering the critical point of breaking through the realm, the spiritual energy around the body would frantically condense, causing intense fluctuations. This process would last for two to three days, making it the most critical period. Success or failure depended on it.
Lin Chen waited for intense fluctuations in the spiritual energy around Gao Cheng, planning to consu the Qingming Divine Fruit at that mont, as its effect would perfectly cover this critical period.
Gao Cheng seed to transform into a statue, with barely any detectable breathing, and his heartbeat almost ceased.
Lin Chen silently observed, noticing no change in the spiritual energy around Gao Cheng.
Nearly ten days passed, and suddenly there was a subtle movent in the spiritual energy around his body, like a spring breeze.
It’s happening!
Although Lin Chen had his eyes closed, he sharply sensed the change.
The spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth gradually drew closer to Gao Cheng, who seed to transform into a spiritual energy vortex, continuously attracting the surrounding spiritual energy, making it more active around him.
The mont had arrived!
Lin Chen silently took out the pre-prepared Qingming Divine Fruit, quietly ate it, and closed his eyes again.
As the Qingming Divine Fruit’s effects were absorbed, Lin Chen’s mind beca incomparably clear, and the feeling of the soul separating from the body returned.
Soon, Lin Chen felt himself rge with this piece of heaven and earth, observing Gao Cheng from a uniquely distinct perspective.
In Lin Chen’s perspective, Gao Cheng disappeared, replaced by a large mass of continuously rotating energy. The spiritual energy gathered in the air beca incredibly clear in Lin Chen’s senses, like flowing river water, with every slightest change comprehended by him.
What was this feeling?
It was as if Lin Chen was breaking through!
But in fact, it wasn’t Lin Chen who was breaking through. He observed the presence of ’Dao’ in the operation of this spiritual energy, but it wasn’t sothing he personally experienced and felt.
While you are looking at the scenery on the bridge, you on the bridge are also a part of soone’s scenery.
The world in Gao Cheng’s "eyes," the "Dao" in his "eyes," could not be directly felt by Lin Chen. However, in the flow of spiritual energy, Lin Chen saw the existence of "Dao."
Lin Chen was like taking a shortcut, directly standing near the finish line, watching contestants cross the line, feeling everything up close.
The spiritual energy beca increasingly agitated, and Gao Cheng also reached the critical mont.
Lin Chen focused all his attention, not daring to miss the slightest detail.
Finally, the agitated spiritual energy silently exploded, like a silent bomb, transforming into a wave of spiritual energy radiating in all directions.
This wave of spiritual energy was so surging yet so gentle, seemingly fierce but not destroying anything around, like a fierce wind bending the grass blades, making the leaves rustle.
A peculiar atmosphere rose from Gao Cheng’s body, both harmonious and profound.
Gao Cheng succeeded!
Although Gao Cheng still sat cross-legged, maintaining the sa posture as before, with no change in appearance, Lin Chen was sure that Gao Cheng succeeded in breaking through because he was familiar with the aura now emanating from him.
Gao Cheng continued sitting for another half day, his heavy aura growing thicker, from initial madness to eventual calm stability.
Gao Cheng opened his eyes, a bright smile on his face.
At the sa ti, Lin Chen also opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and clasped his hands, "Congratulations, fellow cultivator, on entering the Quasi-Saint Realm!"
