The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3322 A Spot in the Land of Opportunity

"You little rascal, you're about to embark on a long journey, and you're still thinking about it."

Mu Tianjun couldn't help but chuckle: "So eager?"

Lin Chen answered very frankly: "When disaster strikes, time is of the essence. What if I become a saint someday? Wouldn't that allow me to contribute more to this war? If there is one more saint, the situation on the battlefield will be completely different."

Mu Tianjun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your ambitions are quite high. You've just advanced to Quasi-Saint, and you're already eyeing the Saint realm?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Under the heavens, in the entire Immortal Realm, which Quasi-Saint doesn't want to break through to become a Saint? Although I have just entered the Quasi-Saint realm, I can still have this thought, right? Besides, the Immortal Path doesn't care about the length of cultivation time. It's not like anyone who wants to become a Saint has to spend a certain number of years, right?"

Mu Tianjun stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "Do you think the great opportunity I mentioned has anything to do with becoming a saint?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Above Quasi-Saints, the focus is on comprehension. Once you understand the Dao, your strength will naturally increase. It has nothing to do with arduous cultivation. So this place is obviously not for me to sit and cultivate arduously to increase my strength. You said that Bodhi Saint and Immortal Emperor have both entered it. This hint is already very obvious, isn't it? After all, the only opportunity that can make Quasi-Saints envious is becoming a Saint..."

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "You're quite clever. Alright, since you've asked this far, I'll tell you so you won't keep thinking about it."

Lin Chen sat up straight, his eyes filled with anticipation.

After reaching the Quasi-Saint level, Lin Chen's strength and status increased significantly. However, Lin Chen knew that under the current special circumstances, his situation as a Quasi-Saint was no different from when he was a Great Luo Immortal.

He was unable to participate in the battle between the saints and the abyss demons. If he faced a demon lord, he might not be able to withstand a single blow, just like the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord before him.

Therefore, although he seemed much stronger, his situation on the battlefield had not changed much.

Only by becoming a saint can he truly change this situation, and only then will he have the strength to face all enemies. Even if he cannot defeat them, at least he can retreat with ease.

"In the universe, there is a realm beyond the ordinary, filled with all sorts of strange life forms. Everything here contains the aura of the Great Dao. If one secludes oneself here to comprehend it, it is possible to comprehend the Great Dao, break through to sainthood. Back then, the Immortal Emperor and the Bodhi Saint entered this place together, and ultimately both broke through to sainthood..."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "The two of them entered this place together, which means that they were not yet saints when they entered?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "To be precise, before them, there were no saints in the Immortal Realm. At that time, quasi-saints were already the pinnacle for everyone."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in shock: "Where is the Primordial Immortal?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "The Primordial Saint broke through to sainthood long after the Immortal Emperor and the Bodhi Saint. This is related to a stone that the Immortal Emperor brought back from that place. It is said that the Primordial Saint attained enlightenment through that stone. Because of this, the Primordial Saint always stands unconditionally on the side of the Immortal Emperor, because he feels that if the Immortal Emperor had not helped him, he would not be where he is today. Therefore, he is willing to support the Immortal Emperor."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "So, the breakthroughs of the three great saints are all related to this place, or rather, this place contains the key factor for people to become saints?"

"Yes."

Mu Tianjun replied, "The great opportunity I mentioned earlier is that it allows you to enter and comprehend the Great Dao, and find the opportunity to break through your current realm."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why are other people not allowed to enter such a place? Is it because they are afraid that these people will become saints and affect the Immortal Emperor's status?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "That place isn't something you can just walk into anytime. It only opens once every tens of thousands of years. The fact that the Emperor and Bodhi Saint were able to appear in the right place at the right time and enter it shows that they were already chosen ones."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Is that place about to open again?"

"Yes," Mu Tianjun replied, "The Emperor has been keeping an eye on this place. It's estimated that it won't be long before this place reappears in the world, and then people from the outside world can try to enter it to cultivate."

Lin Chen pointed to his nose: "Me too?"

Mu Tianjun nodded: "Yes, I'm going to give you a spot."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Such an opportunity, Palace Master, aren't you going? And what about all the Quasi-Saint powerhouses, and the three Immortal Lords...?"

Mu Tianjun smiled wryly and said, "Giving you a spot doesn't mean you can get in. This spot is just for you to try and see if you can get in."

Lin Chen looked surprised: "Didn't they say the entrance only opens once every tens of thousands of years? And you can't just enter at will?"

"Yes."

Mu Tianjun replied, "The path of immortality is always about fate. I once stood at the entrance, hoping to enter, but I was rejected."

Lin Chen's face was filled with disbelief: "Palace Master, you are so powerful and outstanding, how could you be rejected?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "Not only me, but everyone who went to participate in the test before was stuck outside and couldn't get in at all."

Lin Chen asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the method is wrong?"

Mu Tianjun shook his head: "The Emperor has talked about his own process of entering, and it is no different. Perhaps, entering is itself a selection process. Only those who can enter are chosen by heaven. Those who cannot enter, no matter how strong their talent is, are useless."

Lin Chen asked, "Will many people try to get in this time too?"

"Yes."

Mu Tianjun explained, "This place was originally a top secret. Unless it was someone the Emperor absolutely trusted, he wouldn't choose it. Unfortunately, all the people he chose before were blocked at the door and couldn't get in at all."

"This time, both the immortal and demon realms are facing the catastrophe of extinction. As you said, the more saints there are, the more hope there is. Therefore, the Emperor has ordered that the Gate of Opportunity be opened this time, and that I select more quasi-saints who are loyal to the immortal realm and have made great contributions to try to enter."

Lin Chen understood.

This place of opportunity had been opened before, and the Immortal Emperor selected several people, who were definitely the ones he trusted most, such as Mu Tianjun. However, all of them were stuck outside the door and could not get in!
With the invasion of the Abyss Demons, the situation is dire. In desperation, the Celestial Emperor ordered Mu Tianjun to select more people to see if anyone could enter.

This was the only option we had!

If it weren't for the invasion of the abyss demons, and if the situation were still under control, the Immortal Emperor might not have made such a decision.

Having too many saints is not a good thing for the Celestial Emperor!
It's simply a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils.

Regardless, given this opportunity to try, Lin Chen naturally wouldn't pass it up, and asked straightforwardly, "How much longer until it opens?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "There are still some years to go, so don't rush. The most urgent matter is to make sure we can visit the Starry Sky Beast Clan Chief!"
