The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3101 is about being honest and straightforward!
Although separated by the beaded curtain, Lin Chen could still clearly feel the Palace Master's clear gaze falling on him, a gaze that held both admiration and sighs.

Her asking Lin Chen to handle this matter was certainly a negotiation and a transaction, but wasn't she also hoping to give it a try?

The Valley of the Demon Saint is a forbidden area. The Valley of the Demon Saint is located in the Temple of the Demon God, which is the residence of the Demon Emperor!

To cause trouble right under the nose of a sage—isn't that courting death?

If it were easy, would she have waited this long?

She left this task to the newly arrived humans. If they succeeded, all would be well. If they failed, what would be the connection between what the immortal humans were doing and the Great Wilderness Palace?

This was originally a bargaining transaction, a mutually agreeable deal!
Lin Chen succeeded!
He successfully brought back the Holy Path Orb right under the Demon Emperor's nose.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Chen took the initiative to say, "I can give this to the Palace Master now, but the Palace Master needs to consider whether it can be kept from the Demon Emperor's senses, since this thing originated from him..."

The Palace Master chuckled and said, "The entire Great Wilderness Divine Palace is concealed by an array. Even the Demon Emperor cannot sense this place. Just take it out and don't worry about anything else."

Since there was no need to worry about being sensed, Lin Chen neatly took out the Holy Path Orb.

Bai Zhu carried the Sacred Path Orb into the cubicle and handed it to the Palace Master.

Lin Chen explained softly, "The Sacred Path Orb was previously placed within an array. After I took it down, the Demon Emperor's insights stored within it quickly leaked outwards, and at the same time, the entire forbidden area array collapsed."

"I tried many methods to barely seal the opening of this Sacred Path Orb and stop the leakage of its contents. Once the seal is broken, the contents will continue to overflow. If the Palace Master wants to comprehend it, he should not waste it anymore, since this thing was originally left over by someone else."

"Ok!"

The Palace Master agreed and looked up: "You obtained the Sacred Path Orb, but didn't you even try to comprehend it?"

"I've figured it out."

Lin Chen frankly admitted, "It's rare to have such a good opportunity, so I definitely wanted to try it out and see if I could gain any insights. But unfortunately, perhaps my current level hasn't reached that point yet, so I didn't gain anything at all."

The palace master scoffed, "If you could comprehend it, would you not have taken it back to me?"

Lin Chen smiled slightly: "If I can comprehend something from it and improve myself, I will definitely study it first and then bring it back to the Palace Master. Anyway, it's all leftovers. Whether there are more or less left, no one knows exactly how much is left."

The palace master was speechless for a moment, not expecting Lin Chen to answer so openly and honestly.

Lin Chen was right. Given such an opportunity, who wouldn't want to try and understand it?
That's the Demon Emperor's enlightenment on the path of sainthood. What if I get some inspiration from it and ascend directly to sainthood?

After a long while, the palace master finally spoke up: "You've made yourself clear, aren't you afraid I'll use this as a reason to refuse to keep my promise?"

Lin Chen was not nervous at all and said with a smile, "The Palace Master is the master of this Great Wilderness Palace. How could he not keep his word? I have never worried about that. As for my thoughts, that is just a normal thought that any cultivator would have. The difference is that I said it frankly."

"If I said that I didn't have any ulterior motives at all, and didn't even try to comprehend the sacred path, would you believe me, Palace Master?"

The Palace Master laughed and said, "Although what you said is true, it still makes me feel that you don't respect me enough..." Lin Chen interrupted the Palace Master: "Respect? How can I not respect you? This thing is in my hands. If I have any crooked thoughts, I can do a lot of things. But I promised the Palace Master, so I will do my best to fulfill my promise. Otherwise, I'm afraid there won't be anything left in the Holy Dao Orb that I bring back."

The palace master remained silent for two seconds, seemingly unwilling to argue with Lin Chen any longer. In any case, she knew very well that Lin Chen and his team of over a thousand people had only come here to seek refuge, and that their relationship was merely a transaction. It was impossible for him to treat her like the other barbarians.

"Alright, no matter what, you've retrieved the Holy Path Orb. I'll give you everything I promised you before, including the three spots in the Thunderous Secret Realm. You can enter anytime."

Lin Chen asked, "Can we only go in one person at a time?"

"Yes."

The Palace Master remained silent, but Bai Zhu, who was standing beside him, spoke up to explain: "The Thunderous Secret Realm was built by a sage. It is rich in spiritual energy and possesses various mysteries. Those who enter it will receive different benefits depending on their opportunities."

"The Thunderous Secret Realm allows one person to enter at a time, with a cycle of six months. It is protected by restrictions, and once you enter, you will be locked in. If you try to use any means, such as bringing someone in with a magic weapon or replacing them, you will be directly destroyed by the restrictions."

Lin Chen blinked. They all knew that he had a magical artifact that could hide people and isolate them from others' senses, so they were deliberately telling him this.

Okay, you guessed right!

Lin Chen did indeed have a wicked thought in mind: to take advantage of his own entry to bring some people in using the Linglong Pagoda or the Qiqiao Palace. Now, that path is blocked.

Lin Chen nodded seriously: "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll make some preparations and then we can enter the secret realm."

The palace master laughed and said, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Lin Chen replied, "The war between immortals and demons is in full swing, and there are many powerful figures on the battlefield. If I don't improve my strength quickly, I might die if I encounter a powerful opponent next time. So this is of utmost importance to me."

The palace master didn't waste any words: "Alright, once you're ready, you can come to see me. I will have Bai Zhu take you into the secret realm."

"Thank you, Palace Master!"

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. After all this trouble, he could finally get some real benefits.

Although Qi Tian had said that humans had a greater chance of improvement when entering the secret realm than demons, and that the later they entered, the more likely they were to receive crucial help, such as taking that step from the peak of the Great Luo realm to the Quasi-Saint realm, Lin Chen did not intend to waste time like this.

If Lin Chen were to cultivate using his current normal methods, even with sufficient cultivation resources, it would take him an unknown amount of time to reach the peak of the Great Luo realm.

Don't forget, Lin Chen is currently only at the mid-grade Great Luo Immortal realm, still a minor realm away from the peak of Great Luo.

Although it's only a minor realm, advancing to the next level is not so easy.

The last time Lin Chen advanced was thanks to the lotus seed given to him by Mu Tianjun. Now, although Lin Chen has no shortage of cultivation resources, he doesn't have anything good to help him break through to the next level.

Lin Chen didn't think he could advance without any obstacles in a short time based on his own aptitude. More likely, he would be stuck at the bottleneck of the mid-grade peak and unable to make any progress.

A bird in the hand is worth more than a hundred birds in the forest!
Now that we've obtained the qualification to cultivate in the Thunderous Secret Realm, let's improve ourselves first!
We'll deal with the future when it comes!
