Chapter 3293: Chapter 3313: You Could Discover This?
Camp No. 1.
Chu Jiaxue, Nalan Wushuang, and others gathered together, silently recovering.
The battle could start at any moment, and maintaining the best state is the best way to save your life in war.
The entire camp was quite silent.
The surprise attack didn’t last long, but the combat intensity was extremely high, and everyone’s consumption was very large.
A few days later, the quiet camp saw more and more people moving around, and the camp became lively again.
Chu Jiaxue and others had finished their recovery and were relaxing by drinking tea in the room, chatting away. This was their pastime in between recent battles.
Zhuang Susu was also present. Although she was the Palace Lord of the Great Wilderness Palace, not many people from the Great Wilderness power had come, so she couldn’t fight alongside the Great Wilderness Saint. Therefore, during battles, she fought shoulder to shoulder with Chu Jiaxue and others.
Nalan Wushuang held a teacup with a graceful movement: "The intensity of recent battles is increasing, the demons are getting familiar with our surprise attacks, and their rescue speed is getting faster. I’m afraid the battles ahead will become more and more difficult."
Zhuang Susu nodded: "Indeed, but the faster and stronger their rescue efforts, the more it indicates that our plan is effective. Otherwise, there would be no need for them to come to the rescue."
Chu Jiaxue said softly: "Every time we destroy a purple crystal pillar, an extra demon appears. We have now destroyed several, which means there are several more demons, but we haven’t seen them in battle. This likely means these demons are all being controlled somewhere by them, right?"
Zhen Liuxue frowned: "So far, the situation seems to be in our favor, but I have a sort of uneasy feeling, as if the Abyss Demon is up to something sinister. Considering they’ve dared to invade on such a scale, they must have some chance of winning, given how long they’ve been watching our two realms..."
Nalan Wushuang set down her teacup, a thoughtful look on her elegant and heroic face: "But we have no other choice."
Chu Jiaxue sighed: "Yes, if we don’t break those purple crystal pillars, they will continually transform the world, devouring this world’s life force, eventually turning it into a land of death devoid of any life."
For a moment, the women fell into silence.
Zhen Liuxue pondered: "When the Abyss Lord descended before, it directly absorbed a sleeping demon, converting it into the energy it needed to descend. The Lord Charm Erosion mentioned that the Abyss Lord controls all demons, and even a lord stands no chance before the Abyss Lord. So I’ve been thinking..."
Zhen Liuxue raised her eyes, scanning everyone’s faces, and said solemnly: "The Abyss Lord can devour a sleeping demon, so could he also devour these already awakened demons?"
Zhen Liuxue’s voice was filled with deep concern: "If he can easily devour these demons, and if these awakened demons are already being controlled by the opposing Demon Lord, could they be used as sacrificial nourishment for the Abyss Lord’s arrival?"
"On that day, after devouring just one sleeping demon, he could injure five Saints. Wouldn’t devouring more demons make him even more powerful?"
Chu Jiaxue forced a bitter smile: "The Saints may also be worried about this, which is why they keep their distance from the purple crystal pillars, only allowing the Quasi-Saints to attack them. This way, even if the Abyss Lord descends, the distance provides the chance to respond or escape."
Zhuang Susu sighed: "Those responsible for ambushing and destroying the purple crystal pillars are in a dangerous position."
Nalan Wushuang, noticing the heavy atmosphere, took the initiative to change the subject: "On the battlefield, life and death are up to fate. Thinking too much is pointless... It’s just that we don’t know how Brother Chen is doing now?"
Mentioning Lin Chen, the room’s atmosphere lightened slightly.
Chu Jiaxue smiled and said: "He’s probably still comprehending, becoming a Quasi-Saint isn’t easy, even with some methods, it should still take some time."
Zhen Liuxue chuckled softly: "For others, it’s indeed challenging, but Lin Chen has always managed what others cannot. Maybe he’s already a Quasi-Saint by now."
Nalan Wushuang said with a cheerful smile: "If he is already a Quasi-Saint, he’d surely have come to see us by now, happily."
Zhen Liuxue shook her head: "Not necessarily, after becoming a Quasi-Saint, one still needs to stabilize their realm, which takes time..."
Zhen Liuxue hadn’t finished speaking when Chu Jiaxue, who was sipping tea, suddenly stopped and looked down towards her waist sharply.
The beacon hanging at Chu Jiaxue’s waist was emitting spots of golden light.
Everyone’s gaze quickly converged on Chu Jiaxue’s waist, and their faces showed surprise and delight.
Speak of Lin Chen, and Lin Chen appears?
The radiance on the beacon grew more intense, causing slight distortions in the air, where light shadows flickered, and Lin Chen appeared in the room out of thin air.
All the women immediately stood up in surprise, fixating their eager eyes on Lin Chen.
Lin Chen appearing here, does that mean he has completed a breakthrough and become a Quasi-Saint?
Lin Chen looked around the room, a smile appearing on his face, and his initial worries transformed into the joy of reunion.
"Yo, everyone is here."
Chu Jiaxue fixed her gaze on Lin Chen: "Brother Chen, did you break through?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, looked around, and nodded gently: "I broke through half a year ago."
The women were overjoyed.
Broke through half a year ago?
The speed is incredible.
He had just returned half a year ago, and he already broke through?
"How did you break through so quickly?"
Faced with Zhuang Susu’s curious inquiry, Lin Chen seemed a little embarrassed, then laughed: "Thanks to the Qingming Divine Fruit, I was able to break through so quickly."
"Qingming Divine Fruit?"
Zhuang Susu’s gaze was strange: "The Qingming Divine Fruit can help someone become a Quasi-Saint?"
Zhuang Susu knew about Lin Chen obtaining the Qingming Divine Fruit, as he had given her three Qingming Divine Fruits when he returned. However, she didn’t know it could help someone advance to a Quasi-Saint.
If the Qingming Divine Fruit had such miraculous effects, why would the sect owning the Qingming Divine Tree only have one Quasi-Saint?
Lin Chen wasn’t afraid to share his secret, as even knowing it wouldn’t help others — the Qingming Divine Tree was inside the Linglong Tower.
Lin Chen explained how after consuming the Qingming Divine Fruit, it could integrate with Heaven and Earth, allowing him to rediscover everything from a uniquely strange perspective.
Zhuang Susu exclaimed in surprise: "The Qingming Divine Fruit has such remarkable effects? I’ve never heard of this before. Even if they possessed the Qingming Divine Tree, they might not know this, right?"
Lin Chen laughed: "Perhaps when they consumed the Qingming Divine Fruit, they chose a vast, desolate place for quiet contemplation, which led them not to notice this discovery."
Zhuang Susu looked at Lin Chen with a peculiar gaze: "How could you discover this? Your fortune is just too good."
