The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3409 A master of arts is bold

You Kun was shocked.

Jin Yuan of Linghai Sect, Huo Ling Shuang of Tianhe Sect, Tuoba Peng of Jiugui Sect, and Ning Hesheng of Qiyun Sect are the four most outstanding individuals among the five hundred trial participants.

They are incredibly powerful, far surpassing other sub-saints, and they all possess extremely powerful magical treasures, some even having methods bestowed by saints. They are undoubtedly the elite among this group.

Jin Yuan smiled and asked, "What do you plan to do, fellow Daoist?"

You Kun smiled wryly and said, "Even Senior Brother Jin is hesitant to take a look, so I'll wait and see as well."

Jin Yuan nodded: "It's better to be cautious. Great opportunities are hard to come by, and one only has one life."

You Kun nodded: "Senior Brother Jin is right!"

You only have one life?
Yes, unfortunately, my life no longer belongs to me.

He was merely Lin Chen's puppet.

Jin Yuan closed his eyes again, while You Kun walked towards the statues, carefully examining each of the demon beast statues, just like any other newcomer to the trial.

Inside the exquisite tower.

Sun Yixiao looked at the screen: "How do I choose?"

Lin Chen frowned: "We've seen the Bronze Hall. Although it's very large, it's still only so big. There are at least dozens of entrances here. Whether it's a passage or a trial ground, I don't think it should be inside the Bronze Hall."

Sun Yixiao nodded: "Indeed, the Bronze Hall doesn't have that much space."

Lin Chen sighed: "I wonder if Immortal Lord Ranhai has arrived yet."

Sun Yixiao's eyes lit up: "Since the Immortal Emperor chose Immortal Lord Ranhai, he must have left a piece of the Great Dao Spirit for him here, and must have also told him what path to take, what trials to go through, and how to finally obtain this fire-attribute Great Dao Spirit."

"Could it be that the Immortal Emperor came here before, entered through some entrance, passed the trial, and discovered the fire-attribute Dao Spirit? However, because the Immortal Emperor is not of the fire attribute, he could not use it, and the Dao Spirit could not be taken away by him for some reason, so it was left behind."

Lin Chen's mind raced: "This argument also has problems. The Immortal Emperor originally wanted to choose the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, but the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord is of the wood element, while the Burning Sea Immortal Lord is of the fire element..."

Sun Yixiao frowned: "Could it be that the Immortal Emperor has discovered more than one kind of Great Dao Spirit?"

Lin Chen speculated, "If the supernatural powers of these demonic beasts represent the corresponding Dao spirits, wouldn't that mean the Immortal Emperor has entered several passages and passed the trials? That's hard to say."

“The first time, he could say he didn’t know. But if he passes the trial and finds that it’s not the Dao Spirit he needs and he can’t take it with him, then the second time he will definitely go through the channel corresponding to his attribute, instead of going through the channel that has no relation to his attribute.”

"With so many statues here, and each statue's portal open, if each statue points to a Dao Spirit of a certain attribute, would there be so many Dao Spirits here?"

"He first planned to choose the Azure Phoenix Immortal Lord, and then he chose the Burning Sea Immortal Lord. I think it must be that somewhere, not only do wood-attribute Dao spirits exist, but fire-attribute Dao spirits also exist. In fact, all Dao spirits are in the same place."

"These statues' portals may only lead to the trial grounds, rather than directly to the spirit of the Great Dao of that attribute."

Qi asked, "Do these different statues have a specific meaning?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up: "This teleportation portal may not necessarily point to the corresponding elemental spirit of the Great Dao, but it is very likely to point to a certain elemental trial ground. For example, the fire elemental beast statue corresponds to the fire elemental trial ground. Conversely, the trial participants of a certain element should go through the corresponding elemental teleportation portal and pass through the trial ground to gain the qualification to obtain the elemental spirit of the Great Dao."

Sun Yixiao smiled wryly and said, "After all that speculation, hasn't the topic just circled back to itself?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Indeed, the trial participants of different attributes enter the corresponding attribute's monster portal..." Qi asked, "What attribute does You Kun have?"

Lin Chen replied, "He is of the wood element."

Sun Yixiao replied, "Then wouldn't that mean we can only use the wood element?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "That's alright. My Five Elements Great Escape can be any of the five elements. Although my fire attribute is the strongest because of the Sun and Moon Divine Dragon Lamp, my wood attribute is also good. Besides, the five elements are mutually generating and restraining. As long as I enter any of the five element passages, I will have a great advantage."

Qi turned her head to look at Lin Chen. She was very familiar with Lin Chen, and hearing what she said, she knew that Lin Chen had made up his mind to explore.

Sun Yixiao was a little nervous, after all, this thing looked like a dead end.

Once you're inside, there's no guarantee you won't get out.

Although Lin Chen possesses the ability to jump between stars, once he enters the trial grounds, the space will most likely be sealed off. It will certainly not be easy for him to escape using spatial supernatural powers or spatial talismans.

"Are you really going in?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste not to go in?"

Sun Yixiao gritted his teeth: "Shouldn't we wait?"

Lin Chen replied, "It won't be so easy once everyone goes in. Let's go in first to check the situation and see if we can run into anyone else. If they're alone, we can catch them."

Sun Yixiao looked at Lin Chen and said with a wry smile, "You really have a lot of guts. Maybe that's what they call being skilled and daring."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This is a trial ground for the Quasi-Saints of the Celestial Clan. In other words, the difficulty can't be too high. If I can't even get through the trial ground, I think there are probably not many people who can."

Lin Chen was truly confident. Aside from the Starry Sky Jump, his best escape method, he also had the Linglong Pagoda, a supreme defensive artifact. Inside the Linglong Pagoda was the Enchantress Lord, a demon lord. Lin Chen himself also had combat techniques given to him by a saint. What was there to be afraid of?

There are definitely dangers, but how can one obtain the spirit of the Great Dao without taking any risks?
Without further hesitation, Lin Chen transmitted his voice to You Kun.

"Recover. Once your spiritual energy is fully restored, enter the portal corresponding to the wood-attribute monster."

"Don't be afraid. If there's any danger, I'll come out and take your place."

"You are just a guide; I am the one who will truly overcome the challenges."

Lin Chen said this because he was worried that there might be some kind of "certification" process in the training ground.

Only those who truly pass the various tests in the trial are qualified to compete for or obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao, so Lin Chen is prepared to participate in the trial—at least until he reaches the limit of his abilities.

If they can go together, then he will go through the challenges with You Kun; if he can only go alone, then he will go by himself.

You Kun was terrified that Lin Chen would make such a decision so quickly, but he dared not disobey.

At worst, we'll die together!

You Kun swallowed the elixir and quickly restored his strength to its peak. Then he stood up, took a step, and walked towards the statue in front of him.
