The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2039 The End of the Immortal Path

At the mountaintop, Venerable Ziyun sat comfortably in a chair, watching Lin Chen cook delicious food.

Shu Zifeng didn't dare to sit and wait for food like Venerable Ziyun, so he started helping Lin Chen.

"Master, your clone has been killed. Will your true self be implicated?"

Lin Chen flipped the food in the pot and casually replied, "A clone cannot be created out of thin air or from nothing. It is mainly generated by using essence and vitality, and is directly differentiated from the body. It is considered a part of one's own body. If the clone returns and merges back into the body, there will be no loss. If the clone is destroyed and turns into nothingness, then it will naturally have a certain impact on the body."

Shu Zifeng asked worriedly, "Won't this have a big impact?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's alright. I just feel a little weak, like when a person loses a lot of blood. I can recover by taking relevant pills, and I also have the Life Pearl, which can convert life force to make up for my own loss. This loss is relatively negligible."

Shu Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I was worried that you would be greatly affected, just like Mo Yunsen's rebirth."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "You haven't seen that mosquito demon. It can transform into millions of forms, covering the sky and the earth. My clone is nothing. At most, it's just a means of refuge and escape. For the time being, it cannot form a real fighting force."

Shu Zifeng laughed and said, "It's already very impressive. The main body stays at home while the clone goes out to adventure. Even if there is real danger and the clone dies, it will not affect the main body. Most importantly, outsiders cannot tell that it is a clone. You appeared so openly in front of those three Great Luo Venerables and tens of thousands of immortals, yet not a single person could tell that it was a clone."

Lin Chen ladled out a bowl of beef soup and handed it to Shu Zifeng, saying with a smile, "Everyone can create a primordial spirit clone. If this is like a primordial spirit clone, and people can see through its authenticity at a glance, then it's not a supernatural power."

Shu Zifeng placed the bowl in front of Venerable Ziyun and respectfully handed it to her with both hands, saying, "Master's wife!"

Venerable Ziyun took the bowl and said with a smile, "How many times have I told you, don't be so reserved. We're all family, so relax..."

Shu Zifeng grinned but didn't say anything. Clearly, she heard him, but didn't listen.

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head, not saying anything more.

Let her do whatever she wants; as long as she's comfortable, that's all that matters. Perhaps things will change after we've spent many years together. Ultimately, her past experiences had a huge impact on her. The way she treats herself with such respect and kindness now shows how desperate she was back then.

Lin Chen filled two more bowls, carried them over, handed one to Shu Zifeng, and said with a smile, "Try it, beef soup, how does it taste?"

Venerable Ziyun stirred it a few times with a spoon, took a small spoonful, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Delicious, very fragrant."

Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Other cultivators spend all their time meditating in their caves or searching for elixirs to aid their cultivation and enhance their strength. Unlike us, who spend all our time cooking delicious food, we're no different from ordinary people..."

Venerable Ziyun laughed and said, "This is what humanity is all about. If you don't even have desires, are you still human? Although I walk the path of immortality, I still think it's much happier to be human."

Lin Chen scooped a spoonful into his mouth and said thoughtfully, "You said that when cultivation reaches its end, will every cultivator eventually abandon everything that belongs to humanity in order to become immortal, attain eternal life, and even become a god high above?"

Venerable Ziyun paused for a moment, then thought for a moment and replied, "Even gods should have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, right? If they don't even have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, or desires, then what kind of being is that? A heavenly rule without emotions?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "Thinking about it this way, it's not impossible. If a cultivator's strength is powerful enough to establish the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and he himself has no emotions or desires, wouldn't his will be the rule of a world or even a larger area? Or even, directly, what we call the Heavenly Dao?"

Venerable Ziyun thought about it carefully: "It is indeed possible. At that level, the existence of a world is probably just a matter of his thought. However, that level is too far away from us. Even an Immortal Emperor would not dare to say that he can destroy a world with a single thought."

After a pause, Venerable Ziyun added, "An Immortal Emperor might be able to destroy a realm with a single thought, but there should always be a limit to his power. His abilities shouldn't be limitless. For example, he might be able to destroy a continent or even an Immortal Realm, but he can't destroy the entire Immortal Realm, can he?"

Lin Chen pondered the scene described by Venerable Ziyun, and for a moment he was lost in thought: "It is said that the path of immortality is boundless, so is the Immortal Emperor, well, the Saint, the end point, or rather, the limit of the path of immortality?"

Venerable Ziyun smiled slightly: "Whether it is a limit or not, whether there is an end, we will know the answer one day as we move forward step by step."
