The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3383 A Man-Made Paradise?
Lin Chen felt quite peculiar after listening to Mu Tianjun's story.

The sage actually came to be in this way!

I originally thought that sages relied on their own understanding of the Heavenly Dao, control of the Great Dao, and breakthroughs to become sages. But now it seems that there is a strong sense of human arrangement involved.

A living star system?

There are some near the Immortal Realm, and there are also some near the Demon Realm!

Saints of the Celestial Realm were born because of this, and so were Saints of the Demon Realm!

Is this star region, capable of giving birth to sages, a product of the natural evolution of the universe?
Lin Chen suddenly remembered something and asked, "The Emperor once promised to choose one of his three disciples and directly enable him to become a saint. Is this sainthood related to the place of opportunity?"

Mu Tianjun hesitated for a moment: "I don't know about this matter, but from what I feel, it is probably still related to the place of opportunity."

Lin Chen asked, puzzled, "Isn't it uncertain whether one can even enter the Land of Opportunities? How can the Emperor confirm that entering the Land of Opportunities will lead to sainthood?"

Mu Tianjun shook his head, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "The Emperor didn't mention this, but I suspect that when he entered the Land of Opportunities, he might have had some unique encounters or made some kind of arrangement inside, and then obtained some kind of item that can guarantee entry into the Land of Opportunities..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen roughly understood: "In other words, he has some means to ensure that a person can enter the place of opportunity and find the Great Dao within it, thus becoming a saint, but there is only one such spot."

Mu Tianjun nodded: "Yes, that's what I guessed too. When the Emperor first became a Saint, he also took us to the place of opportunity, but we were turned away. At that time, he didn't mention the quota."

"Later, the Emperor took in three disciples, and only then did the concept of this quota come about. Based on this, it's roughly the same as what you said."

Lin Chen roughly figured it out. Although the Immortal Emperor had taken Mu Tianjun and others to the Land of Opportunities before, they were ultimately just his subordinates. Why would he give his subordinates the opportunity to become saints?

If a subordinate becomes a saint, is he still your subordinate?
Such an opportunity to inevitably become a saint must be given to someone you absolutely trust, such as your descendants or your personal disciples. After all, in the cultivation world, personal disciples are even closer than one's own son.

Lin Chen harbored malicious thoughts. Even if someone was a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor, if they wanted to obtain the opportunity to directly become a saint, they would probably have to offer a pledge of allegiance to the Immortal Emperor before entering the Land of Opportunities, such as control over his own life. Otherwise, if they became a saint but then tried to rebel against their master and seize power, wouldn't he be raising a tiger to cause trouble?
Lin Chen asked, "Has the Emperor confirmed which disciple it is now?"

Mu Tianjun shook his head: "The Emperor summoned both Seven-Colored Immortal Lord and Burning Sea Immortal Lord away, and neither of them has returned yet. It must be one of them, but only the Emperor knows who it is."

Lin Chen frowned. Seven Colors or Burning Sea?
If it's the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord, that's fine. After all, I have a good relationship with the Seven-Colored Immortal Lord. I saved his life before, and we have no conflict of interest. After he becomes a saint, he wouldn't turn his back on me and kill me for the sake of Starry Sky Jump, would he?

If it's the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea, then things will be very troublesome.

Lin Chen was also hoping to find an opportunity to deal with Immortal Lord Ranhai, seize his Void Pearl, and search for Gu Yue, who might be imprisoned inside the Void Pearl.

If the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea becomes a saint, then what's the point of all this? Basically, he'll never have a chance to save Gu Yue again. In fact, if things get out, he'll just have one more enemy.

We absolutely cannot allow the Immortal Lord of the Burning Sea to become a saint!
Lin Chen began to inquire about the situation in the Star Sea: "Has the Emperor mentioned the situation in the Star Sea?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "It's not much different from ordinary star fields, but it contains great opportunities and countless cosmic spirits. Those who enter can break through to sainthood by avoiding the cosmic spirits, finding the great opportunities, and successfully integrating them." Cosmic spirits?

Lin Chen looked surprised: "Is it a cosmic ghost born in a special environment after a star field explosion? The kind that Qingluan Immortal Lord and I encountered when we went to find kryptonite?"

Mu Tianjun smiled and said, "I haven't seen it, but I think it should be the same."

Lin Chen felt a little more at ease, because he had seen ghosts and dealt with them before. Putting aside everything else, he was at least certain of one thing: they had no sense of people who had entered the earth through earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic)!

Qingluan Immortal Lord never mentioned this in order to claim credit, since in his story, he obtained the kryptonite through various means, not by using earth magic.

The more Lin Chen understood the contents of this place of opportunity, the more he felt that it seemed to be man-made.

Who can transform what should have been an open, dead star field into a living star field that seems to have life?

The Living Starfield contains profound opportunities and countless wandering cosmic souls...

Doesn't it resemble a sect trial?
Various opportunities are placed in the Monster Forest for disciples to participate in trials, demonstrate their abilities, and seize these opportunities.
That's a chance to become a saint!

Those who can do this must be superior to sages, and the answer suddenly becomes clear.

Celestial Race!
Ruler of the universe!
Even if that's the answer, what's the reason?
Even if this place of opportunity was indeed created by the Celestial Race, it should have been made for their own people, so why would it appear next to the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm?

Are there more places of opportunity in the universe?
Thinking about it this way, Lin Chen felt that his thoughts had become much more distant, and he had a profound feeling of thinking about "how big the universe is and where its boundaries are".

Lin Chen pulled his wandering thoughts back and inquired about the current situation again: "How many people from our Immortal Realm went this time? Are there any I know?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "Thirty from the Immortal Realm, twenty from the Demon Realm, and ten from the Great Wilderness Palace, making a total of sixty. The thirty from the Immortal Realm include the eight Domain Lords, myself, and many Quasi-Saints who have made great contributions in battle. You are familiar with quite a few of them, such as True Man Taixu and White Jade Star Lord..."

Seeing the puzzled look on Lin Chen's face, Mu Tianjun explained, "We've been there before, but we couldn't get in. We don't know why. The Emperor said we should try again this time, in case we can get in this time."

Mu Tianjun laughed and said, "You joined the ranks based on your military achievements, but your wife didn't have many. That's why their names aren't on the list."

Lin Chen wasn't surprised at all by this, since Mu Tianjun had previously said that the list of places of opportunity would be based on battle merits, so he never thought they would be selected.

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I have no objection to that, but what if someone tries to smuggle something in?"

Mu Tianjun replied, "Do you mean hiding people inside magical artifacts and bringing them in?"
