The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3348 Are the Promises of the Past Still Valid?
"You want to leave?"

Mu Tianjun stared at Lin Chen with curiosity in his eyes: "Next, it seems like it's our chance to turn the tide. Aren't you going to participate?"

Lin Chen replied with a grin, "As long as the kryptonite works, we're sure to win. With my strength, the battlefield won't make much difference whether I'm there or not. I'm going to take care of some personal matters, consider it a vacation. The previous journey to the Star Sea really exhausted me."

Mu Tianjun stared intently at Lin Chen: "Is your journey truly as Qingluan Immortal Lord described?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "There was a slight mishap, but it's not important, Palace Master, don't you think?"

Mu Tianjun nodded slightly: "If Qingluan Immortal Lord can become a saint, your choice to help him would be a good investment."

See? They're all shrewd and know everything!

Lin Chen shrugged and spread his hands: "Actually, I didn't really want to get involved with those three immortal lords, but I saved the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord, and he treated me as a friend. So, in other people's eyes, things have become different. Sometimes it's not that I want to choose, but that I have to make a choice."

Mu Tianjun remained silent for a few seconds, then looked at Lin Chen with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

If someone else had said this, Mu Tianjun certainly wouldn't have believed it.

That's the Celestial Emperor's personal disciple. If Celestial Lord Qingluan gains the Celestial Emperor's approval, he'll become a new Saint. You should be secretly thrilled to have such a powerful backer.

But Lin Chen said it, and Mu Tianjun actually believed it.

Lin Chen has now entered the Quasi-Saint realm. Although he has not fought with anyone or revealed his strength, judging from his various circumstances, Lin Chen's strength is definitely very strong. There are probably only a handful of people in the entire Immortal Realm who can compare to Lin Chen.

Not only did Lin Chen become a Quasi-Saint, but his wife, friends, and master also became Quasi-Saints. With such strength, who would want to be subordinate to someone else?
Even if the other party is the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, even if the other party might become a saint, so what?

I follow you and do things for you, what can you give me in return?
Can you make me a saint?
you can not!
Since I can't, why should I submit to others? Wouldn't it be better for me to be free and dominate my own territory?
The current situation is not that Lin Chen wants to choose Qingluan Immortal Lord, but that Qingluan Immortal Lord has his eye on Lin Chen, forcing Lin Chen to make a choice. Otherwise, if he rejects Qingluan Immortal Lord, or even offends him, it might be okay now, but once Qingluan Immortal Lord becomes a saint, if Qingluan Immortal Lord is petty and holds a grudge, then it will be troublesome.

"Okay, I'll give you a break. You can stay as long as you want, but if I need to call you, you have to come back immediately."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's definitely no problem. You know how I am with the Star Trek, I can be back in a flash. I won't make any mistakes."

Mu Tianjun pointed at Lin Chen, a hint of envy in his heart.

Even saints covet such great supernatural powers, how could Mu Tianjun not envy them?

Even with Mu Tianjun's strength, if he wanted to go to another star field, he would have to go through a teleportation portal and then rely on his own rapid movement to reach his destination. But Lin Chen only needed to blink of an eye to get there.

With such skill, who wouldn't envy it?
After taking leave, Lin Chen took the initiative to ask about the opportunity: "Palace Master, how much longer do we have to wait for that opportunity you mentioned before?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "It will be soon, in the next year or two. I will notify you when the time comes. But as I said before, I can recommend you to participate, but whether you can get in depends on your own luck. I can't guarantee that."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Of course. Opportunities depend on the individual and cannot be forced. I certainly understand this principle."

Mu Tianjun pondered for a moment: "This matter is not yet completely settled. It depends on the Emperor's opinion. However, I mentioned you to the Emperor before, and he did not object..."

Upon hearing Mu Tianjun's words, Lin Chen's heart sank instead of being pleased. "Palace Master, when did you mention this to the Emperor?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "After you saved the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "There won't be any changes to this matter, will there?"

Previously, the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord was captured, and later all five Saints were injured by the Lord of the Abyss who descended. That was arguably the darkest and most oppressive time. The Immortal Emperor must have felt the lack of power around him. At this time, the Immortal Emperor accepted Mu Tianjun's suggestion, hoping that more people could break through to become Saints and lend them a helping hand.

But now that they have brought back Kryptonite, if nothing unexpected happens, the Abyss Demons will no longer be able to stop the Saints' offensive, and the Abyss Demons may be completely annihilated and driven out of both the Immortal and Demon realms.

Since the Abyss Demons are no longer a threat, why would the Celestial Emperor want a new Saint to emerge and share power?
Lin Chen still vividly remembered what the Great Wilderness Sage had said to him.

Saints would love for no new saints to ever emerge again, and for this reason, they might even do some underhanded things to prevent others from becoming new saints.

Today is different from the past!

The current Immortal Emperor's mindset is definitely different from before. Will he still tolerate so many people going to the Land of Opportunities to seek the opportunity to become a saint?
Lin Chen expressed deep concern.

Looking at Lin Chen's furrowed brows, Mu Tianjun vaguely guessed what Lin Chen was thinking, but he had no say in the matter.

He was merely an executor, a subordinate of the Celestial Emperor.

"Anyway, just wait for news."

Mu Tianjun's words deepened Lin Chen's worries even further.

Who understands the Immortal Emperor better than Mu Tianjun, his loyal subordinate? He had told him about this before, but now even he doesn't dare to guarantee it, which shows that he himself is not confident.

If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to the Land of Opportunity first, and then gone to find the Starry Sky Beast Clan.

Lin Chen bid farewell and left without alerting anyone. He then disappeared from the camp with the Dao Cauldron and the three women cultivating inside it.

Lin Chen reappeared at the garrison of the immortal army in the Crimson Immortal Realm.

The last time Lin Chen returned, he was looking for someone who wanted to advance to Quasi-Saint level, and he even asked Mu Tianjun for help.

This time, Lin Chen returned as a quasi-saint, and he didn't need anyone at all. As soon as he released the news, people took the initiative to come to him for advice.

Half a year after Lin Chen advanced to Quasi-Saint, he had given guidance to many peak Great Luo cultivators. Many of them successfully broke through to the next realm, so much so that everyone spread the word that being personally guided by Lin Chen could greatly increase the success rate of breaking through to the next realm!
If he explains something to you that you don't understand, you will understand it; if he explains something to you that you already understand, you will become more and more proficient!
Lin Chen accepted all requests, but he did make a personal request: that when they decided to break through to the next realm, he would allow a few people to observe from the sidelines.

This is a request that no one can refuse.

Lin Chen found suitable mentors for Gu Yuexi and the other two girls to practice their breakthrough techniques, and they quickly began their training...
