The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3104 The Way of the Sage is Not So Easy!

Deep within the Great Wilderness Temple.

The slender palace mistress slowly approached, carrying the Holy Path Orb, and entered a room.

An elderly man with white hair sat cross-legged, his eyes brightening slightly as he saw the Holy Path Orb in the Palace Master's hand.

"got it?"

The palace master nodded slightly: "Yes."

The white-haired old man's eyes lit up with joy: "Alright, go in."

The white-haired old man cast a spell, and a portal of light appeared out of thin air in the room.

The palace master nodded politely, then stepped into the portal.

The palace master's vision went black, the scenery before him changed, and he was no longer in the Great Wilderness, but in a desolate land covered with red rocks.

The sky above was cloudless, only a vast expanse of stars.

This is a small planet devoid of life, and also the place where the Great Wilderness Sage lived in seclusion.

The Great Wilderness Sage is the only life form on this planet!
The palace master walked forward, and soon, a house that wasn't very big appeared abruptly in the desolate land.

The palace master walked up to the house and bowed respectfully: "Master!"

The gate to the courtyard of the house opened automatically, and a crisp voice called out: "Come in."

The palace master stepped into the courtyard. In the courtyard, a huge reclining chair was gently rocking, and sitting on it was a boy of eleven or twelve years old, with a fiery red holy mark between his eyebrows.

The Palace Master stopped and respectfully said, "Master, the Sacred Path Orb left behind by the Demon Emperor has been retrieved!"

The young man was naturally the Lord of the Great Wilderness, the Great Wilderness Saint.

The Great Wilderness Sage's gaze fell upon the Sacred Dao Orb: "Have you gained any insight?"

The palace master replied respectfully, "Yes."

A gentle smile appeared on the Great Wilderness Sage's face: "Did you gain anything?"

The palace master calmly replied, "Yes, but not many."

The Great Wilderness Sage raised his hand, and the Holy Dao Orb flew into his hand. The opening sealed by the secret technique was instantly opened, and countless points of light overflowed.

The Great Wilderness Sage covered the gap with one hand, and the light spots inside the Holy Dao Orb instantly seemed to be ignited, shooting out rapidly like countless fireflies, completely enveloping the Great Wilderness Sage.

One by one, the points of light shattered, and more and more points of light rose up, making the scene look like a dazzling fireworks display.

The Great Wilderness Sage closed his eyes, quietly comprehending the truth.

Soon, the number of light spots emerging from the orb decreased until it finally stopped completely.

"Crack!"

A crack appeared on the surface of the sphere, and the crack quickly spread, instantly covering the surface of the sphere with a spider web-like pattern of cracks.

"boom!"

The orb shattered into countless pieces.

The Great Wilderness Sage opened his eyes, which seemed to contain flowing stars and dazzling light. Then the light dissipated and finally returned to calm.

"Interesting. Is this the sacred path he has comprehended?"

The Palace Master asked softly, "Is there a big difference between his understanding and his master's?" The Great Wilderness Sage chuckled and replied, "The path of each sage is naturally different. There may be similarities, but ultimately they are different at their core."

The palace master thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the little demon emperor, Cheng Tuo?"

The Great Wilderness Sage said disdainfully, "Although he has advanced to the rank of Sage, he can only be considered a defective product created by the Demon Emperor, a failed attempt at fulfilling the Demon Emperor's ambitions."

The Palace Master's eyes widened; her master had never said these words before!

"The Demon Emperor's ambition?"

The Great Wilderness Sage calmly said, "After the Demon Emperor became a sage, he wanted to mass-produce sages. Cheng Tuo was his attempt, and he paid a considerable price. Although Cheng Tuo barely entered the sage realm, he had very low combat power because he did not have his own unique path to sainthood."

Mass-producing saints?
The Palace Master stared in shock at the Great Wilderness Saint. She had originally thought that the Demon Emperor had helped his disciple Cheng Tuo advance to sainthood in order to help and fulfill his disciple's potential, but she never expected that this was merely an experiment by the Demon Emperor.

The Great Wilderness Sage said calmly, "Because it was the first time, the Demon Emperor paid a huge price to barely allow Cheng Tuo to enter sainthood and survive. This experiment also made the Demon Emperor slightly restrain his ambition."

"Although Cheng Tuo's strength is absolutely overwhelming against those below the level of a saint, he is utterly vulnerable against a true saint. If he were to face me, I estimate I could crush him with a single punch."

"Such defective products are obviously not the result the Demon Emperor wanted. Moreover, even if it were a defective product like Cheng Tuo, he could not afford the cost of mass production. Therefore, after Cheng Tuo, he never helped anyone break through to sainthood again."

The palace master let out a sigh of relief: "If he had succeeded back then, he would have created many saints under his control..."

"Yes."

The Great Wilderness Sage sneered, "If he really succeeds, then I might be his first target. Unfortunately, although he is a genius, he underestimates the way of the sage. How can he create a sage at will?"

The Palace Master asked, "Now that the Demon God Temple's attention is focused on the Immortal Realm, should we launch a full-scale attack?"

The Great Wilderness Sage nodded: "He fought with the Immortal Emperor and must have been injured. Now is our chance. Go ahead and do it."

Joy appeared in the Palace Master's eyes. Although the Great Wilderness Palace had previously launched an attack to expand its sphere of influence, she was unsure of the extent to which it would go or whether it would completely enrage the Demon God Palace and the Demon Emperor. Now, with her master's clear instructions, she was no longer afraid.

"Alright, I will order a full-scale attack."

The Great Wilderness Sage asked, "The Demon Saint Valley is located within the Demon God Palace. Although I provided something to break the bloodline restriction, it won't be easy to take the magic orb from under the Demon Emperor's nose. Has my Great Wilderness Palace produced another talented person?"

The Palace Master looked slightly embarrassed: "They are not from my Great Wilderness Palace, but humans from the Immortal Realm..."

The Great Wilderness Sage raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh?"

The image of Lin Chen appeared in the Palace Master's mind, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

"This person is quite interesting, and very bold. He's quite famous in the Immortal Realm..."

The Great Wilderness Sage's eyes seemed to see through the fog on the Palace Master's face, and his smile deepened: "Is that so? Tell me."

The Palace Master then told the Great Wilderness Saint the story of Lin Chen, including how he ruined the Demon Clan's teleportation plan.

The Great Wilderness Sage lay on the chair, listening quietly.

After a while, the Palace Master finished recounting Lin Chen's story, and the Great Wilderness Saint smiled slightly: "Hearing you say that, this kid is indeed quite interesting. It's not easy to achieve so much at such a young age... Is he single?"

The Palace Master was somewhat flustered by the Great Wilderness Saint's sudden turn of events: "I don't know, who would care about these things?"

The Great Wilderness Sage smiled and said, "Shall I ask?"

The palace master naturally knew what her master meant, and her tone was a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Master, I just think he is a very capable person, but I don't have any other thoughts."

"Ah."

The Great Wilderness Sage gave a noncommittal reply, then looked up at the vast starry sky: "I've stayed here for a while. Perhaps I should go out for a walk, lest some people think I'm dead..."
