The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3305 Observation Realm
"The entire army retreated, leaving only the Quasi-Saint?"

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the latest military order.

It seems that Mu Tianjun reported to the Immortal Emperor and persuaded him, which led to the current military order.

"In that case, let's stay."

After a moment's consideration, Chu Jiaxue decided to stay: "The other quasi-saints are staying to fight, it's not good for us to run away."

Nalan Wushuang nodded: "Since you've decided to retreat to the rear, there won't be any danger there. There's no point in us following you. We might as well stay here and help kill the demons."

Lin Chen looked at the two women and finally nodded: "Alright, then be careful. I'll give you a beacon. If you encounter any danger, activate the beacon and contact me immediately. I'll come and pick you up."

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang nodded. Although Lin Chen's strength was not as good as theirs, his ability to leap through the starry sky was something they could never match.

Lin Chen relied on this star-sky jump, but even the demon lord couldn't catch him.

If they really encounter danger, as long as they are not directly targeted by the demon lord and instantly killed or captured, they really have to rely on Lin Chen to save their lives.

After making their decision, Lin Chen, Yao Xuanji, Gu Yuexi, and Shang Wenyan withdrew with the army.

Soon, the main force retreated back to the Crimson Immortal Realm through the teleportation portal. After the team settled down, one of the peak Great Luo cultivators that Lin Chen had visited before attempted to break through to the next realm.

This person named Gao Cheng, a peak-level Grand Luo cultivator, personally came to Lin Chen's door to inform him of the matter and invited Lin Chen to observe.

Lin Chen readily agreed.

Yao Xuanji and the other two women had already entered the Dao Cauldron cultivation stage to improve their strength. Lin Chen originally wanted them to observe and comprehend the high-level breakthrough, but they refused.

It wasn't that they didn't want to observe and comprehend, but rather that to enter that profound state of enlightenment, they needed to consume a Azure Netherworld Divine Fruit.

Although there are many Azure Divine Fruits on the Azure Divine Tree planted in the Linglong Tower, only about twenty are ripe and edible at this time.

Lin Chen needs to consume a Azure Nether Divine Fruit for each instance of observation. Whether observing and comprehending is useful remains to be seen, and how many times one needs to comprehend before reaching that threshold is also a question.

Furthermore, the three women's strength has not yet reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, so even if they consume the Azure Nether Divine Fruit, it may not be effective. Therefore, given the limited quantity of the Azure Nether Divine Fruit, they are unwilling to waste it.

Regardless, Lin Chen's needs are what we need most right now, and we must prioritize meeting his needs.

After making thorough preparations, Gao Cheng chose a secluded peak rich in spiritual energy as the place to comprehend and break through to the next realm. Disciples from his sect guarded the area to prevent interference.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged on a side peak, some distance from Gao Cheng, ensuring that he could perceive everything happening to him while in meditation, without disturbing him.

This is also because of Lin Chen's special status. If it were anyone else, these peak Great Luo cultivators who were about to advance probably wouldn't agree. After all, this matter is of utmost importance to them. If it were harassed or sabotaged by someone, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.

The elevation quickly entered a state of stillness and remained motionless.

Lin Chen did not rush to consume the Azure Nether Divine Fruit, but instead sat quietly in meditation, silently observing, paying particular attention to the fluctuations of spiritual energy around Gao Cheng's body.

According to Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang's personal experiences, when entering the critical moment of breaking through the realm, the spiritual energy around the body will frantically condense, causing strong spiritual energy fluctuations. This process will last for two or three days, and this period is also the most critical period of breaking through the realm. It can be said that success or failure depends on this moment.

Lin Chen was waiting for the spiritual energy around Gao Cheng to fluctuate strongly. He would then consume the Azure Nether Divine Fruit, whose effects would just cover this crucial period of breakthrough.

Gao Cheng seemed to have turned into a stone statue; apart from a few barely perceptible breaths, his heartbeat had slowed to the point of almost stopping.

Lin Chen silently observed him, and there was no change in the spiritual energy around his body. Nearly ten days passed, but suddenly there was a subtle movement in the spiritual energy around his body, like a gentle spring breeze.

coming!

Although Lin Chen had his eyes closed, he keenly sensed the change.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth slowly approached Gao Cheng, who seemed to transform into a vortex of spiritual energy, constantly attracting the surrounding spiritual energy to converge there, and the surrounding spiritual energy gradually became more active.

The time has come!

Lin Chen quietly took out the Azure Nether Divine Fruit he had prepared beforehand, ate it silently, and then closed his eyes again.

As the effects of the Azure Nether Divine Fruit were absorbed, Lin Chen's mind became incredibly clear, and that feeling of his soul leaving his body returned.

Soon, Lin Chen felt himself merge into this world again, observing the elevation from a very unique perspective.

The people at the high altitude disappeared from Lin Chen's perspective, replaced by a large mass of constantly flowing energy. The spiritual energy gathering in the air became incredibly clear to Lin Chen, like flowing river water, and every slight change was within Lin Chen's perception.

What does this feel like?

This is just like Lin Chen breaking through a cultivation level!

However, in reality, this is not Lin Chen breaking through to a higher realm. He observes the existence of the "Dao" from the circulation of these spiritual energies, but he is not personally experiencing and feeling it.

You admire the scenery from the bridge, and you, on the bridge, are also a sight to behold in the eyes of others.

Lin Chen couldn't directly perceive the world as seen through Gao Cheng's eyes, nor could he discern the Dao as perceived by him. However, amidst the flow of spiritual energy, Lin Chen did see the existence of the Dao.

Lin Chen seemed to have taken a shortcut, a shortcut, and stood directly near the finish line, watching the runners cross the finish line and experiencing everything up close.

The spiritual energy became increasingly restless, and Gao Cheng reached the most critical moment.

Lin Chen was completely focused, not daring to miss a single detail.

Finally, all the restless spiritual energy exploded silently, like a silent bomb, turning into a wave of spiritual energy that radiated outwards.

This wave of spiritual energy was so turbulent, yet so gentle. It seemed to come on strong, but it did not destroy anything around it. It was like a fierce wind that bent the grass and made the leaves of the trees on the mountain rustle.

A peculiar aura rose from Gao Cheng's body, peaceful and profound.

Elevation measurement completed!

Although Gao Cheng was still sitting cross-legged, maintaining the same posture as before, with no outward change, Lin Chen was absolutely certain that Gao Cheng had successfully broken through to the next realm, because Lin Chen was very familiar with the aura emanating from Gao Cheng at this moment.

Gao Cheng sat for another half day, his heavy aura growing stronger, gradually calming down from the initial frenzied fluctuations.

Gao Cheng opened his eyes and a bright smile appeared on his face.

At the same time, Lin Chen opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on entering the Quasi-Saint realm!"
