Chapter 3289 - 3209: How Many Such Characters Have There Been Since Ancient Times?
CHAPTER 3289: CHAPTER 3209: HOW MANY SUCH CHARACTERS HAVE THERE BEEN SINCE ANCIENT TIMES?
Lin Chen felt invigorated, he succeeded!
I have finally successfully crossed this step, advanced to Quasi-Saint, surpassing the masses, becoming one of the top few in the entire Immortal Realm.
From now on, the sky is the limit!
Lin Chen walked out of the room and saw Shang Wenyao with a joyful expression. Lin Chen gave Shang Wenyao a big hug and kissed her heavily.
"Thank you, Wenyin. Without your help, my comprehension wouldn’t have been so thorough, and I might not have passed this crucial step during the final breakthrough."
Shang Wenyao smiled happily, "Success is all that matters!"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Those two are still cultivating in the Tao Ding. They don’t know the news yet, let’s go and share the good news with them."
Shang Wenyao smiled, "You should go outside and take a look first, many people are waiting to congratulate you out there."
Lin Chen came back to himself and laughed, "This commotion must have surprised quite a few people. Well, I should go out and greet everyone."
Shang Wenyao casually dispelled the previously set Array Formation. Lin Chen walked out the door and saw a large open space ahead, crowded with many people, among whom were many familiar faces.
Li Bo, who had smoothly broken through after Lin Chen’s guidance, smiled, "Congratulations to Fellow Cultivator Lin, for successfully breaking through to Quasi-Saint. It’s truly a joyous occasion!"
Lin Chen laughed, "Mr. Li, the joy is mutual."
An old man beside them said loudly, "Vice Commander Lin, you mentioned before that you wanted to observe our breakthroughs. Now, we have yet to break through, and yet you’ve already become a Quasi-Saint. Your breakthrough speed is rare throughout history."
Lin Chen chuckled, "Previously, I observed several fellow cultivators breaking through, pondering carefully, had some enlightenment, and with my past insights, made an effort, lucked out, and succeeded. Speaking of which, I must thank those fellow cultivators for allowing me to observe."
The old man laughed, "Vice Commander Lin, you’re being modest. This line isn’t something you can just cross by saying so."
Lin Chen surveyed the surroundings, seeing a dark, dense crowd quietly looking at him with fervent eyes filled with envy, admiration, and yearning.
Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your attention. This smooth breakthrough has given me some insights. If anyone has questions about breaking through, you can come to me during leisure time. We can exchange and improve together... As for now, please don’t stay to watch. Even though I successfully broke through, I haven’t grown two more hands or another nose; I’m still the same, so please disperse."
Upon Lin Chen’s words, excitement and eagerness appeared on the faces of many in the crowd.
Such an opportunity is not always available. After all, the status of a Quasi-Saint is what it is, not equivalent to ordinary immortals where you can visit casually, or schedule a chat and tea at any time.
Lin Chen took the initiative to share his experiences, which might not lead directly to one’s sanctum ascension but could definitely help some resolve long-standing issues.
Although Lin Chen always said he was lucky, that breaking through is like an examination; if you don’t know it, you don’t know it, you can’t solve the questions, you won’t earn the points, and you will never pass!
From ancient times to the present, how many are Quasi-Saints in their early hundreds?
How many have just reached Da Luo Peak and not stopped, advancing to Quasi-Saint within months?
To not mention other matters, Lin Chen had been observing others break through, seeing successes and failures, drops in realms, and yet, just by watching, he himself became a Quasi-Saint.
No one would believe Lin Chen without some unknown means.
Now there’s a chance to hear Lin Chen talk about his experiences, perhaps it could lead to some gains?
The onlookers all dispersed, leaving those familiar with Lin Chen, such as the senior management of the Four Sects in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain and the senior management of the original Third Squad of the First Corps.
"We’re all old friends, why are you standing there idly? Come in and sit."
Lin Chen laughed while inviting everyone, and they all relaxed slightly.
Lin Chen having reached Quasi-Saint status meant a monumental change in position, incomparable to his previous role as Vice Commander.
Vice Commander was merely a military rank representing an official post, but becoming a Quasi-Saint transcends being an ordinary immortal.
A high-ranking military official indicates your position is higher, but everyone is in the same category. However, becoming a Quasi-Saint is completely different.
Inside, everyone felt a bit of apprehension, wondering whether Lin Chen would remain the same as before, whether he would become aloof now that he is a Quasi-Saint.
Lin Chen’s words quelled everyone’s doubts, and they all smiled, making their way inside one after another.
In the spacious courtyard, Lin Chen invited everyone to sit and laughed, "I guess I’ve come through the tough times. I’m finally out of the shadow, no longer needing to hide behind all of you."
Shangguan Wenyin laughed, "Your cultivation speed is all too fast, in the blink of an eye, you’re a Quasi-Saint. Looking back, it seems like a dream."
Lin Chen laughed, "You’re only one step away from Quasi-Saint. Who knows, one day you might ascend too."
As the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, Shangguan Wenyin naturally can cultivate using the Power of Faith without bottleneck burdens, advancing like lightning. Previously, Chu Jiaxue broke through to Quasi-Saint due to long-term cultivation in the Sea God Sect too.
Shangguan Wenyin laughed, "Reaching Da Luo Peak isn’t difficult, the challenging part is crossing that line. It seems a step, but it’s truly a chasm; not everyone is like you."
Lin Chen chuckled, "Looking back, we can all slowly spar. We’re all comrades who fought in the same trenches, all from the same place, with various ties, we’re all family, so naturally, there will be no reservations."
Qiu Wushuang from Ice and Snow City looked at Lin Chen, her expression subtle.
Previously, when Lin Chen’s strength wasn’t much, he dared to flirt with her and claimed he would capture her as a maid. At that moment, she made harsh remarks; thinking about it now is quite embarrassing.
Lin Chen didn’t just catch up in strength but quickly overtook, leaving her far behind.
He now indeed has the ability to make her a maid.
She hopes he has forgotten what he had said before.
As Qiu Wushuang felt anxious inside, she noticed Lin Chen’s eyes swept over her, giving her a cheeky smile.
Qiu Wushuang’s heart skipped a beat, not daring to meet Lin Chen’s gaze, quickly turning her head aside.
Qiu Wushuang never imagined she would have such a day facing Lin Chen. This rascal, who would know he would become a Quasi-Saint so easily.
"Lord Qiu..."
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s voice, Qiu Wushuang raised her head helplessly, her eyes showing a pleading look.
"Lin Chen, I’ve said some things in the past; pretend you never heard them, forget them, alright?"
If Lin Chen were to mention it publicly, would she still have her dignity?
Lin Chen blinked, looking perplexed, "Lord Qiu, what do you mean by that?"
Qiu Wushuang was taken aback, "Uh, then why did you call me...?"
Lin Chen laughed, "I wanted to say that I’ve gained some insights from observing their breakthroughs. Especially regarding the Way of the Five Elements, I have deeper understanding. Lord Qiu, you cultivate the Water Element Technique, perhaps I can be of some help..."
