Chapter 3294: Chapter 3314: No Longer What It Used to Be
Lin Chen’s return filled the room with a joyful atmosphere.
No matter Lin Chen’s strength, he is always the backbone for all the women. In their hearts, nothing can really trouble him.
Now, with Lin Chen advancing to quasi-sage, his strength has reached a new height, perhaps no one below a saint can pose a threat to Lin Chen anymore.
"How is your strength now?"
Faced with Zhuang Susu’s inquiry, Lin Chen replied with a smile, "I think it’s okay."
Zhuang Susu’s eyes were eager, "Shall we spar a bit?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We’ll find some time later; here might not be the best place."
Zhuang Susu nodded, "Alright, it’s a deal."
Zhuang Susu felt her mood was quite complicated. Previously, when she saw Lin Chen, his strength was still lacking, but now Lin Chen is already a quasi-sage. From his confident demeanor, he probably isn’t much weaker than herself.
Lin Chen turned his head and asked, "What’s the situation now?"
Chu Jiaxue explained the matters of the people’s attack to Lin Chen and also mentioned her concerns. Finally, she said, "You might want to mention these issues when you see the Hall Master. Although a saint might have already considered them, reminding him certainly can’t hurt."
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I have important matters to see the Hall Master for, and I may also need to meet the Immortal Emperor."
Zhuang Susu curiously asked, "What matters?"
Lin Chen recounted the encounter with the Red Calamity, and the others immediately showed expressions of astonishment on their faces.
"The Starry Sky Demon Beast clan knows about the Abyss Demons?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, so I feel it necessary to pay a visit to the clan chief of the Star Demon Beasts. If they know something important, it would be a great help to us."
Zhuang Susu nodded and said, "Indeed, the more information we gather, the better."
Lin Chen stood up, "I’ll first go see the Hall Master and talk later."
"Alright!"
As Lin Chen left the room, he didn’t walk far before seeing the Thousand Demon Monarch standing by the roadside, chatting with an old man.
Upon seeing Lin Chen, the Thousand Demon Monarch’s face lit up with delight, "Brother! You’ve come!"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Big brother, it’s been a long time. Are you doing well?"
The Thousand Demon Monarch smiled wryly, "Not so well, got a bit injured. These guys are not made of flesh and blood, just pure consumables, dying and returning, dying and returning. We are at a great disadvantage. You know, my strength isn’t that great. Most of it is in controlling the demonic beasts, and now the battlefield demands speed like lightning and unstoppable force. I don’t even have time to deploy and retrieve the beasts..."
Lin Chen asked with concern, "Such a fighting style indeed puts you at a disadvantage. Are your injuries serious?"
The Thousand Demon Monarch waved his hand, "I’m alright, won’t die. Weren’t you going back to break through? How come you suddenly returned?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I succeeded in breaking through and came back."
The Thousand Demon Monarch laughed excitedly, "Brother, you’re amazing! How little time has passed since you said you’d break through, and now you have. Impressive, impressive. As expected of my brother, I knew from the first time I saw you, you were no ordinary person..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Big brother, you’re flattering me, just had some good luck."
The Thousand Demon Monarch laughed heartily, "Brother, everything about you is great, except you’re too modest. At your age, you’ve already become a quasi-sage. Since ancient times, there’s probably no younger quasi-sage than you."
The Thousand Demon Monarch’s laughter drew the attention of many people in the camp, and many came out with looks of surprise.
"Lin Chen achieved a breakthrough?"
"He just over a hundred years old? And he’s already a quasi-sage?"
"Wasn’t he just cultivating in the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s Tao Ding, just reached Daluo Peak, and now he’s advanced? Didn’t he make any pauses? Even with an Innate Dao Body, it shouldn’t be this fast, right?"
"It’s unbelievable, so young and smoothly becoming a quasi-sage. It’s hard to say he won’t aim for the Saint Realm in the future."
True Person Tai Xu and Jade Star Lord stood side by side, smiling at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with gratification.
Both had supported Lin Chen, and he was a junior they appreciated. Now that Lin Chen had become a quasi-sage, they naturally felt happy.
This at least proved their judgment.
Sidao Wang and the Barbarian King stood in the distance, looking over, exchanging glances with extremely complex feelings in their eyes.
Once, in the eyes of Sidao Wang and the Barbarian King, Lin Chen was just a small figure they could easily crush, yet in such a short time, he had grown into someone they were unwilling to provoke.
Or rather, someone they could not provoke!
Lin Chen is a quasi-sage, his two wives are quasi-sages, his Master is a quasi-sage, and he has two quasi-sage aides. All together, their family has six quasi-sages, more than the entire Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain.
Lin Chen not only has remarkable strength himself but is admired by the Great Wilderness Saint, has a good relationship with the three disciples of the Immortal Emperor, and even saved the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s life, who now interacts with him as a friend.
Besides this, True Person Tai Xu, Jade Star Lord, the Saint of Thieves, and the Thousand Demon Monarch all stand by his side.
Counting all this, even though Sidao Wang is the Lord of the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, he cannot afford to offend Lin Chen now.
The last time, in the War God Temple’s camp, Lin Chen needed to rely on the Saint of Thieves and Thousand Demon Monarch to withstand the pressure he brought. But now, he needs no such assistance.
Lin Chen paid his respects to True Person Tai Xu and Jade Star Lord. Although he was now a quasi-sage with strength possibly not much worse than theirs, he humbly regarded himself as their junior.
Seeing this, True Person Tai Xu and Jade Star Lord held an even higher opinion of Lin Chen.
To be young and achieve such strength, yet remain so humble and calm, is a mindset not everyone can have.
After greeting everyone, Lin Chen headed towards the residence of the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch.
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch was meditating in the room. Seeing Lin Chen enter, his eyes suddenly brightened.
"You’ve broken through?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, so I returned to await orders, but previously I encountered the Red Calamity..."
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch smiled, "Didn’t he go back to their ancestral grounds to attend their grand gathering? Why has he returned?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Perhaps he has grown accustomed to living here."
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, "The Red Calamity is not weak, but he can no longer influence the current battle situation. Let him stay in the rear."
Lin Chen’s smile faded, and he spoke solemnly, "The strength of the Red Calamity Senior may not aid much in the current battle, but I gleaned critical information from him."
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch asked casually, "What’s that?"
Lin Chen replied, "The Starry Sky Demon Beast clan knows of the Abyss Demon clan’s existence. I think it necessary to visit the ancestral grounds of the Starry Sky Demon Beasts, meet their clan chief, and gather more information on the Abyss Demons..."
