The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2216 What's behind that wall?
The Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering is full of exciting events, but none of them concern Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was just a passerby. After dealing with his own affairs, the rest of the excitement, the noise, and the gossip had nothing to do with him.

Before the Ten Thousand Immortals Gathering had completely ended, Lin Chen and Venerable Ziyun left Tianyu City.

They traveled to Meditation Valley, a half-month journey from Tianyu City. It was called Meditation Valley because the spiritual energy there was extremely rich, and that one could meditate and comprehend the Dao here, making it incredibly clear-headed and easy to communicate with the Dao of Heaven, thus gaining enlightenment.

Throughout history, countless cultivators have attained immortality or advanced to the Great Luo realm in the Meditation Valley. There were also powerful figures who wanted to take this place for themselves, but in the end, the Myriad Immortals Palace declared that no individual or force was allowed to occupy this place. From then on, this place became an excellent place for all cultivators to comprehend the Dao, break through their cultivation realm, and achieve enlightenment.

Lin Chen is currently only at the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, and is still some distance from the Great Perfection realm. However, Lin Chen still has a large amount of Ink Immortal Crystals, so it is only a matter of time before he reaches the Great Perfection realm.

Lin Chen went to the Meditation Valley hoping to gain some insights. Advancing to the Great Luo realm is like entering a completely new world, where the door is closed to you beforehand.

To successfully break through to the next realm, you must first sense the world of the new realm of Great Luo, and then try to find a door to enter it. Once you find the door, the next step is to try to push it open.

The door has fully opened. Once you enter, you will have successfully broken through to a higher realm, gaining new abilities and the capacity to embrace a new world.

Lin Chen has not yet reached the Great Perfection stage, so he is not qualified to sense this new world above the Great Luo realm, let alone find the gate.

Lin Chen hoped to gain something from the Meditation Valley. Even if he didn't break through and couldn't open the door, he should at least be able to sense the new world above the Great Luo realm.

Countless Celestial Immortals at the Great Perfection stage spend their entire lives unable to sense the location of the New World. They are like explorers trapped outside the New World, never having the chance to touch it.

Lin Chen and his companion seemed like a divine couple, traveling freely and leisurely. Half a month later, they arrived at Meditation Valley.

Although it is called a valley, Meditation Valley is actually a basin surrounded by towering peaks on three sides. There is only one entrance between the two sides of the mountain that looks like they have been cleaved by a knife, which leads directly into the basin. That is why it is called a valley.

As soon as Lin Chen and his companion entered the Meditation Valley, they sensed the presence of many cultivators. They were situated throughout the valley, with various small protective formations concealing their figures and providing them with a quiet environment for meditation and cultivation.

Meditation Valley has no owner, so you can stay wherever no one is occupying and temporarily make it your home for secluded cultivation.

Lin Chen felt that many eyes were on him, but he didn't care. It's a public place, so it's normal for people to look at you.
Lin Chen flew along the valley and finally found a platform on a cliff protrusion in the mountains. It was not large, but it was very flat, obviously left behind by previous people.

“This is a good location.”

Venerable Ziyun looked around, then smiled and pointed to a huge rock in the distance: "Alright, you stay here, I'll go to that rock."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen did not stand on ceremony with Venerable Ziyun. He placed a futon on the platform, set up a small protective array around it, and then sat down on the futon.

Lin Chen took out the Ink Immortal Crystal and quietly began his cultivation.

Lin Chen quickly noticed the peculiarity of the Meditation Valley. During his cultivation, his mind was incredibly clear, as if he had inhaled pure oxygen, and was extremely ethereal. In this state, he could absorb and refine the spiritual energy in the Ink Immortal Crystal one to two times faster than before.

Lin Chen was overjoyed. Such a rapid pace of cultivation—this place truly was a blessed land. But if Meditation Valley possessed such extraordinary qualities, wouldn't all cultivators in the world flock here?

On second thought, Lin Chen realized he was overthinking things.

Although Lin Chen's absorption of spiritual energy from the Ink Immortal Crystal did indeed speed up, the prerequisite was that the cultivator must carry something like the Ink Immortal Crystal to enhance their cultivation. The level of spiritual energy in the air here was not different, which meant that if one did not carry an item like the Ink Immortal Crystal, the cultivation speed would be no different from other places.

In that case, who would specifically come here to cultivate?

As for doubling the absorption speed, cultivators have long lives, so what's a little bit of absorption time?
What we lack are good things that can improve our strength!

Lin Chen calmed his mind and began his cultivation.

This sitting lasted for three months.

Without any obstacles, Lin Chen successfully reached the Great Perfection of the Celestial Immortal realm, and then he got stuck.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, dispelled the formation, and prepared to check on Venerable Ziyun's condition, while also sharing the good news with her.

Venerable Ziyun did not consume the Ink Immortal Crystal; she simply sat cross-legged on the boulder, comprehending the Dao of Space.

Noticing the commotion on Lin Chen's side, Venerable Ziyun opened his eyes, activated the formation, and smiled at Lin Chen: "Why did you come out of seclusion?"

Lin Chen spread his hands: "I'm stuck, I can't cultivate anymore."

A hint of joy appeared in Venerable Ziyun's eyes: "Great Perfection?"

"Ah."

Lin Chen nodded and described his feelings to Venerable Ziyun: "I can vaguely sense something new behind that barrier, but the barrier is like it's enveloping my five senses, making it impossible for me to accurately perceive what's behind it..."

Venerable Ziyun's eyes widened slightly: "You can sense something new?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, it's like a sixth sense. Even though there's a wall between us, I'm sure there's something behind it. I can't describe exactly what it is, but I'm sure I can sense it."

A smile appeared on Venerable Ziyun's face: "This is a good thing. To comprehend the new world above the Great Luo realm, the first thing is to have this feeling. You must first confirm that it exists, since this thing is originally a very subjective perception. The realm above the Great Luo realm is like a new world that others cannot see or sense."

"Only when you are certain of its existence, and then try to comprehend it again and again, to see clearly what it really is, is the process of breaking through to a higher realm. The barrier will gradually thin out with this process, and what you sense will become clearer and clearer until it appears completely before you!"

"You've just advanced to the Great Perfection stage, and you already have this kind of insight. You're more powerful than the vast majority of cultivators. After all, most cultivators never sense anything behind that wall until they die. In their eyes, that wall is the only thing they can see. As for whether there's a garden, rocks, or a lake behind the wall, they have no idea."

"As expected of the man I chose, you are truly one in a million!"
