The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3418 What would happen if I went to the Celestial Realm?

You Kun and Wu Heng watched as Lin Chen seemed to lose his soul after hearing their words, and they were both puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, what are you thinking about?"

Although Lin Chen had subdued them, he did not treat them harshly, and did not even require them to address him as "master".

Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and sighed, "I am the one with the Five Elements Spiritual Root!"

You Kun and Wu Heng both paled, exchanged a glance, and saw the unease in each other's eyes.

Wu Heng asked in a low voice, "Even if we add them all up, we still can't gather enough of the Five Elements Dao Spirits. What does Fellow Daoist Lin plan to do?"

Lin Chen asked in a low voice, "Besides competing in trial grounds like this, what other ways do you obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao?"

You Kun replied, "Powerful sects can obtain some Dao Spirits from the Heavenly Gods, and a small portion of Dao Spirits circulate outside and can be purchased through trade, but these are not things that ordinary Quasi-Saints can afford."

Wu Heng added, "The Celestial Realm has various Celestial Festivals, as well as competitions and other activities held between the Celestials. These activities often offer some Dao Spirits as prizes. If you participate in these activities and win, you can also obtain Dao Spirits."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "What do you think would happen if I went back to the Celestial Realm with you?"

You Kun and Wu Heng felt bitter inside. If Lin Chen went back with them, they would never be able to escape their enslavement.

Lin Chen stared at the two of them and said, "If I can't go back with you, guess what will happen?"

Both of them were startled.

Yes, if he can't come back with us, he'll definitely take us back to the Immortal Realm; otherwise, he'll have no choice but to kill us.

He would absolutely not let the two of them leave so easily, only to complain about them when they got back.

If that's the case, then there are only two options left.

Either the two of them go with him to the Immortal Realm where humans live, or he goes with them to the Celestial Realm.

From their own perspective, even though they were both under Lin Chen's control, they would definitely want to return to the Celestial Realm.

The two exchanged a glance, and You Kun replied, "If you choose to go to the Celestial Realm, we can pretend to have captured you and make you our prisoner. That way, you can appear in public, and outwardly you will be our slave. With this identity, you can move around freely..."

Lin Chen thought about it and, to be honest, this method was actually feasible.

On the surface, they control their own lives, but in reality, their lives are in their own hands, and they must cover up their legitimate existence.

As long as one has a legitimate identity, even if one is a slave, one can secretly do what one wants.

"If I go to the realm of the gods, will I still be able to live in the same place?"

You Kun replied, "The Celestial Race possesses a teleportation wheel, which can transport you to any place in the universe. As long as you find out the coordinates outside this trial ground, you can use the teleportation wheel to directly teleport you back to this star field."

Wu Heng added, "However, teleportation points are only found in the Temple of the Gods. These are usually used by the gods to patrol the universe. Of course, they can be used for special operations, but it is always somewhat difficult."

Lin Chen nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

Anyway, as long as there's a way to get back, that's good!

If there's no way to go back, then I wouldn't dare go to the Celestial Realm either, wouldn't that be a one-way trip?
I don't want my family anymore!

Wu Heng advised, "If you still want to advance to the Saint Realm, going to the Celestial God Realm is the only option. If you go back to your place, you may never have the chance to go to the Celestial God Clan again."

Lin Chen nodded silently: "I'll think about it. Let's focus on the immediate matters first. We need to get the Wood-attribute Dao Spirit first!"

You Kun suddenly asked, "Haven't decades already passed? How come Ning Hesheng is still there, and everyone else is still absorbing the spirit of the Great Dao? Are they all certain that they can become saints and leave?" Lin Chen revealed the answer: "There is a time difference in the Trial Path, which is about ten to one. Ten years inside is one year outside. So, if you calculate it, there is still about one year left before the five-year period ends."

You Kun and Wu Heng suddenly realized.

That's it!

No wonder Lin Chen said that breaking the formation would give them a chance to survive; it turns out he had already realized this!
The poor people thought that five years had passed, and that they were trapped here forever, unable to escape. They were disheartened.

"Let's go!"

Lin Chen summoned the Exquisite Pagoda and took the two of them inside.

Although only those who possess the core of the formation can enter without being excluded, their presence inside the Linglong Tower does not affect them.

Lin Chen was worried about leaving them outside; what if they caused trouble while he was inside?
Lin Chen took out the green array core and headed towards the barrier.

Green light instantly emerged from the core of the formation. This green light, like living threads, quickly disappeared into the barrier in front of it, and then the ripple-like barrier seemed to soften all at once.

Lin Chen flew in, as if passing through an air wall or traveling through water, and then entered the barrier, entering this wood planet.

The entire planet was teeming with life, with countless forests and towering trees that seemed to glow with their green leaves.

Seeing the scene before him, Lin Chen inexplicably recalled the words that Lord Enchantress had once told him.

Devouring many immortal realms in the immortal world might allow her to improve her cultivation level.

Here, the trial participants must devour the energy of an entire planet and obtain the spirit of the Great Dao in order to advance from a sub-saint to a saint.

A planet sacrificed!

Lin Chen collected his complicated thoughts and quickly extended his divine sense, sweeping across the entire land.

Where is the spirit of the Great Dao?

What form will it take?

A tree?
There are countless trees here, each one so full of life, how can one judge them?

Lin Chen decided to first survey the entire planet to see if there were any suspicious individuals.

Lin Chen spent several days searching the entire planet and marking many coordinates.

In this way, Lin Chen can go wherever he wants in one step.

Lin Chen hovered in mid-air, looking at the towering tree in front of him with a puzzled expression.

Could it be this?

Lin Chen searched the entire planet but found nothing special that caught his eye. So, this giant tree, which was obviously thicker, taller, and had a more abundant life force than any other tree on the planet, naturally became his target.

Lin Chen scanned the entire tree with his divine sense, but found nothing unusual.

Lin Chen frowned and sat down cross-legged in front of the big tree.

This planet is lush and verdant, with wood-attribute spiritual energy so rich it seems to condense into liquid; the spirit of the Great Dao must certainly exist here.

If it weren't the tree in front of us, what would it be, and where would it be?
