The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1822 Thinking about it this way, it makes perfect sense!

"As agreed, you should have told me about the Heavenly Dao Alliance by now, right?"

Meng Ke's gaze toward Lin Chen had calmed considerably: "The Heavenly Dao Alliance wants human prisoners in order to refine battle spirits."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow: "Battle Soul?"

Meng Ke explained, "Specially tempered primordial spirits, freed from the constraints of the body, will not dissipate as long as the magical artifact remains intact. They will become soldiers without thought, obeying all commands of their owners until they die completely, at which point their primordial spirits will dissipate."

Lin Chen was startled: "The Heavenly Dao Alliance has the ability to extract a person's primordial spirit, refine it into a battle soul, and make it fight for them?"

Meng Ke shook his head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, they exchanged powerful human prisoners with us for this. They even want celestial beings."

Lin Chen frowned. They even wanted celestial beings, which meant they had the ability to cultivate celestial beings into battle spirits.

Huh... a soul?

Lin Chen suddenly froze, and a figure appeared in his mind.

Didn't I guess that the man who went to the Soul Separation Sect that day was from the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
Heavenly Alliance, Soul Separation Sect, Soul Separation Technique...

The Soul Separation Sect is most skilled in soul techniques. Could the Soul Separation Sect be behind the battle soul matter that Meng Ke mentioned?

The Soul Separation Sect defected to the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The Heavenly Dao Alliance exchanged a large number of prisoners with the Dragon Clan. The Soul Separation Sect helped the Heavenly Dao Alliance refine these prisoners into mindless battle spirits, increasing the Heavenly Dao Alliance's combat power.

Thinking about it that way, it makes perfect sense.

In any case, Lin Chen finally understood the Heavenly Alliance's purpose in trading prisoners, and this should be very important information.

Whether it's the Heavenly Dao Alliance or the Soul Separation Sect, they both possess the ability to transform prisoners into battle spirits, which could potentially provide the Heavenly Dao Alliance with a large number of powerful individuals.

Attack, capture prisoners, refine battle spirits, continue attacking, capture more prisoners...

If there are no restrictions on refining battle spirits, then what can stop the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt a little worried.

Previously, it was already quite worrying to hear that the Heavenly Alliance used the Desolate Blood Gu to control its members and force everyone to obey orders. But now, a new method of modifying battle souls has emerged, which is truly adding insult to injury.

We need to find a way to dig out the Soul Separation Sect again and get to the bottom of this matter.

Perhaps I really should make a trip to the Azure Dragon Palace to see if I can get more information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance. But for now, I should focus on cultivating and improving my strength, since spiritual veins are not something you can encounter all the time.

Lin Chen thanked Meng Ke, saying, "Miss Meng, thank you for the information. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused before."

Meng Ke stared blankly at Lin Chen, who was apologizing.

This guy clearly won, yet he's apologizing to me? This guy isn't so bad after all; he only risked his life to capture me to save his senior brother…

"The dragon race and the human race have always been at war, so you don't need to apologize."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Miss Meng is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see me die, so she saved me and brought me into the barrier. Even though we are opponents or enemies, I should still thank her for this."

Meng Ke shook her head, her mind in turmoil, and didn't reply.

Lin Chen smiled slightly as he looked at Meng Ke's reaction. It seemed that his victory over her had been quite a blow to her, as even her previous arrogance had diminished considerably.

In any case, it's always good to be able to resolve some of the resentment.

The spiritual vein was activated quickly, and Lin Chen and the others all entered the spiritual vein to begin their cultivation.

This spiritual vein is a mid-grade spiritual vein. Although it is still a gaseous spiritual vein, its quantity is much better than the low-grade spiritual vein that the black-clad blood envoy discovered back then, and its quality is also much purer, making cultivation more efficient.

Lin Chen focused on his cultivation, and he sat there for a whole year.

After a year of intensive training, Lin Chen's strength soared, and he finally broke through to the mid-stage of True Immortal.

While Lin Chen was overjoyed, he also sighed, realizing that the higher the realm above immortals, the more difficult it became to advance.

With such a high-quality spiritual vein, such pure spiritual energy, and such continuous and frantic absorption, it took a whole year to advance to the next small stage. However, even though it was only a small stage, Lin Chen's strength increased by at least several times!
Lin Chen wasn't the only one to be promoted. His second senior brother, Bai Mo, went directly from the mid-stage Earth Immortal to the late-stage Earth Immortal, and then to the peak Earth Immortal. He is currently in seclusion and is said to be preparing to break through to the True Immortal realm in one go.

Meng Ke has progressed from the mid-stage of True Immortal to the late-stage of True Immortal, and is now steadily climbing towards the peak of True Immortal.

Lin Chen's improvement speed was slower than the other two, but Lin Chen felt it was normal. After all, Lin Chen's progress relied more on opportunities than on cultivation talent.

His talent for cultivation is really not that great; it's perfectly normal that he can't compare to Bai Mo or Meng Ke.

Lin Chen did not continue his cultivation.

As his strength improves, he needs time to solidify his foundation; otherwise, taking too big a step could easily backfire.

Moreover, his time is running out.

After some time, he had to rush back to the Tianxuan Continent to participate in the Tianxuan Martial Arts Tournament, and before that, he wanted to visit the Dragon Clan.

Why are you so busy?
