The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1723 Was I letting a wolf into my house?

To improve one's strength and break through realms in the cultivation of immortality, one needs cultivation techniques. A good technique can make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, while a poor technique will make it difficult to make any progress after reaching a certain realm.

This explains why sects with inferior secret techniques are ultimately considered second-rate, while sects with top-tier techniques are full of talented individuals and their strength is constantly increasing.

Which major sect doesn't have some advanced martial arts techniques hidden away?

If it truly is a top-tier cultivation technique from a super sect in a high-level immortal realm, then it makes perfect sense for these cultivators to join the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Cao Hechuan was quite worried; the enemies facing the Immortal Palace were much stronger than he had imagined!

Although the Immortal Palace seems to have the upper hand for the time being, once the Heavenly Dao Alliance makes a public appearance, reveals its origins, and promises sufficiently powerful cultivation techniques, it is conceivable that countless cultivators will join the Heavenly Dao Alliance's camp without hesitation.

As Lin Chen walked through the dark passage, his eyes lit up.

The enormous underground palace could hold thousands of people, but it was completely deserted.

Lin Chen exclaimed in amazement, "Brother, how many people in your group are actually studying the Reincarnation Sutra? It's so vast! It's like a hidden paradise!"

The middle-aged man replied, "Four or five hundred people... Would you like to join?"

Lin Chen answered without hesitation, "Of course! How can I join?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, “Pay some valuable items, like top-tier magic treasures or top-tier elixirs. After all, even students have to pay tuition to attend classes with their teachers, right?”

Lin Chen nodded: "Hmm, that makes sense, but I don't have top-tier magic weapons or top-tier pills. Would something less top-tier work?"

As he spoke, Lin Chen unhesitatingly pulled out a pile of pills and several magical treasures: "How about these?"

The middle-aged man's gaze swept over them, and he was immediately quite surprised.

This kid really is a rich young master!

Although these pills and magical treasures are not top-tier, their quality is not bad. The most important thing is that Lin Chen took out such a large quantity at once. Who would carry so many?

Isn't this the epitome of a spendthrift rich kid?

The middle-aged man didn't reach out, but instead frowned: "These are all of acceptable quality, but they're still a bit lacking. Is there anything better? You should know that the Reincarnation Scripture is a top-tier cultivation technique in the higher immortal realms, and not everyone has the opportunity to learn it."

Lin Chen looked troubled. "There is something even better, but I can't give it to you." The middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He and Lin Chen had been going around in circles for so long, just to figure out what treasure Lin Chen was talking about.

"What kind of magical treasure is it? Take it out and let me see."

Lin Chen shook his head and said, "That thing was something I stole from home... no, I took it. It's a giant explosive magic weapon. Once it explodes, everything within a hundred miles will be instantly reduced to nothing. Even a celestial being couldn't stop it."

Lin Chen chuckled as he looked at the shocked middle-aged man: "I use it for self-defense. It's my trump card, and I can't give it to you."

The middle-aged man had already accepted Lin Chen's arrogant and extravagant young master persona and had no doubts whatsoever. After all, Lin Chen had mentioned having a treasure at the cave entrance, before he had even met Lin Chen!

The middle-aged man suddenly felt a little numb.

Even celestial beings couldn't stop it?

What kind of magical artifact is this, with such great power?
If an ordinary person said this, he would just think the other person was bragging. But after accepting the person's persona as a spendthrift rich kid, he felt that everything seemed quite reasonable.

Isn't it normal for a wealthy family to possess one or two massive explosive magical artifacts capable of threatening even celestial beings?

But what does it mean to invite them in?
Letting a wolf into the house?

They said they'd lure him in to kill him, but what if he detonates that explosive artifact before he dies? Would this branch still exist?
Even celestial beings can't stop them; what about those at the level of Golden Immortals or True Immortals? Wouldn't they just be wiped out?

The middle-aged man's mind raced, and a slightly stiff smile appeared on his face: "Such a powerful magic weapon, you're using it for self-defense?"

Lin Chen replied confidently, "That's right. As long as the other party isn't confident they can kill me within half a second, I can take it out and detonate it, taking them down with me. Hehe, who isn't afraid of death? Isn't this self-defense?"

The middle-aged man was speechless, and began to consider the possibility of instantly killing Lin Chen.

Lin Chen seemed to know what the middle-aged man was thinking. He pointed to Cao Hechuan beside him and laughed, "My old servant is at the peak of the Golden Immortal level. With his defensive magic treasures, even a Celestial Immortal would have to put in some effort to kill him. This little bit of time might not be enough for me to escape, but it's definitely enough for me to detonate my magic treasures and go down in flames with him."

"I'm actually afraid to use this thing. I don't know if the celestial being will die, but I'll definitely be gone, not even a bone fragment will remain. But if it really comes to that, even if I can't survive, I'll definitely take him with me!"

"However, I haven't killed anyone's parents, nor have I destroyed any sects. I've traveled the world and haven't offended anyone. There's no reason for others to risk their lives to kill me and perish together with me, right?"
