The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3336 Companion?

Lin Chen felt a little nervous because this jump had consumed much more spiritual energy than he had imagined.

Lin Chen was somewhat weak at this moment. If Qingluan Immortal Lord were to attack him now, the situation would be extremely dire.

Qingluan Immortal Lord stared at Lin Chen for a few moments, a concerned expression on his face: "It looks like you've used up a lot of spiritual energy."

Lin Chen replied with a wry smile, "This journey has traversed countless star rivers. I was almost drained dry. No wonder the old patriarch said that even their powerful star beasts would have to pay a huge price to get here..."

Qingluan Immortal Lord smiled and said, "No rush, you can recover slowly. We have time."

Immortal Lord Qingluan withdrew his gaze, turned around, and surveyed the scene before him.

Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Qingluan Immortal Lord harbored ulterior motives towards him. Fortunately, he had already attacked him before and thought he had him under control. Otherwise, if he attacked him now, that would be real trouble.

Looking at the scene before him, the Azure Phoenix Immortal sighed, "The entire star system has been destroyed. I wonder what happened to it..."

The entire starry sky is filled with endless meteorites. These meteorites vary in size, some being only one or two meters in size, while others are fragments of planets, comparable to continents.

Planet Graveyard!

As Qingluan Immortal Lord said, this planet encountered something unknown, and all the planets, large and small, in the entire galaxy were destroyed by a tremendous force, turning into countless shattered meteorites that filled the entire galaxy.

At this moment, Lin Chen and his companion were on an irregular meteorite about seven or eight kilometers in diameter. Their figures were incredibly small compared to the entire galactic graveyard.

"So many meteorites, big and small, and kryptonite—these are not easy to find!"

The Azure Phoenix Immortal frowned and sighed softly.

According to the old patriarch, although kryptonite possesses amazing abilities, it is not very large, usually only about the size of a fist, and the largest probably does not exceed the size of a basketball.

The power of kryptonite is not determined by its size, but by its purity. The higher the purity, the more energy the kryptonite contains, the greater its interference with the chaotic star core, and the stronger its destructive power in battle.

In this fragmented galaxy, searching for something so tiny, without any effective search methods, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Qingluan Immortal Lord withdrew his gaze and sat down cross-legged on the ground, waiting for Lin Chen to heal his injuries.

It's not time to reveal my hand to Lin Chen yet. What if Lin Chen turns around and runs away, leaving me here? Wouldn't I be useless then?

The old patriarch once said that without the means of spatial travel, relying solely on flying, he probably wouldn't be able to fly back in this lifetime.

Qingluan Immortal Lord had a detailed understanding of the principles of space jump. Space jump is not a straight-line jump in the theoretical sense, but rather a jump from the nearest point to the destination using a space tunnel.

Like a piece of paper, when laid flat, the two edges are furthest apart. But a spatial jump is like rolling up this paper, connecting the two edges directly through a spatial tunnel, arriving in an instant. Therefore, although Lin Chen's leap may seem light, it allows him to traverse countless star seas. Even with the strength of the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, not only would he easily get lost in the starry sky, but even without getting lost, flying at full speed, he might not be able to return even after tens of thousands of years.

The method used by the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord to control Lin Chen was ingenious, called the Soul Chain. He could drive the chain, making the controlled person wish they were dead. If the controlled person wanted to fight back, it would not work, because once he died, the Soul Chain would automatically lock completely, completely killing the controlled person's primordial spirit.

Qingluan Immortal Lord was worried that Lin Chen would retaliate against him. On the one hand, he was worried that Lin Chen had powerful means bestowed by the Great Wilderness Saint, and that he might secretly use them to control him. In that case, wouldn't both sides be afraid to act against each other?
On the other hand, there is Lin Chen's ability to leap through the stars. With this leap, he can reach beyond countless galaxies. Such a vast distance makes Qingluan Immortal Lord worry that his methods will fail.

The Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord's methods were naturally effective in the Immortal Realm, but he dared not say that they would still be effective across the vast universe, since he had never tried them before.

This wait lasted for several days.

After recovering from sitting cross-legged, Lin Chen finally opened his eyes, his eyes bright and full of energy, no longer showing the weakness he had before.

Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord turned his head: "Recovered?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it's good that I brought enough top-grade pills, otherwise, just meditating like this would probably take a year and a half."

The Azure Phoenix Immortal pointed to the vast and boundless starry sky ahead: "We should be at the edge of this broken star system right now. If we want to search, we need to go deep into the center of the star system. What do you think is the most efficient way for us to search?"

Looking at the shattered and devastated starry sky, Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "There's no other way. Heading directly towards the central area feels like a matter of luck. However, after listening to the old patriarch's words, I have a bold idea."

Qingluan Immortal Lord stared at Lin Chen's face: "Tell me."

Lin Chen replied, "The old patriarch said that kryptonite is a special substance that can only be produced under certain special conditions, such as the explosion of a galaxy..."

Qingluan Immortal Lord nodded: "That's what it's said. Is there a problem?"

Lin Chen shook his head and continued, "The old patriarch also said that cosmic ghosts are special, formless beings formed under special conditions. I'm wondering if this special environment also refers to galactic explosions under special conditions..."

Qingluan Immortal Lord's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean, Kryptonite and Cosmic Ghosts are both products of galactic explosions under special circumstances?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, if the cosmic ghosts existed before, it is unlikely that they would still exist under such a terrifying impact as the galactic explosion. Therefore, they are most likely special products of the galactic explosion."

"If there were no cosmic ghosts where Kryptonite exists, those cosmic monsters that come to search for Kryptonite might have found it long ago. After all, they have unique cosmic abilities and are definitely better than us at searching."

"They returned without finding Kryptonite. Is it possible that wherever Kryptonite exists, there are a considerable number of cosmic wraiths? Perhaps they found the Kryptonite, but ultimately they were unable to escape those cosmic wraiths, and thus they never returned..."

The Azure Phoenix Immortal smiled and said, "If we think about it the other way around, Kryptonite and Cosmic Ghosts might both be products of the same special environment, or even coexist. Where there is Kryptonite, there are Cosmic Ghosts. If we want to find Kryptonite, then we can look for Cosmic Ghosts. Once we find Cosmic Ghosts, we will find Kryptonite..."
