Chapter 2234: Chapter 2254: Fun, More Important Than Anything Else!_1

"Xi Jie, leaving this place won’t be a problem, right?"

Xi smiled and said, "The spatial fissures in this folded space are mostly targeted at invaders. That’s why there’s a crushing pressure when entering, but leaving is quite simple."

"You can roughly understand it as an area encircled by spears with points all facing inward. If you want to squeeze in from the outside, you’ll be hurt by the countless spear tips, even to death. But if you’re going out, you just need to follow along the shafts of the spears and gently pry open the tips a bit to leave safely."

Lin Chen immediately understood: "Xi Jie, your analogy is so vivid and lucid; I got it in an instant."

After a moment, Lin Chen asked, "Do you remember that vast emptiness we encountered earlier?"

Xi pondered for a moment: "It seems I’ve heard it mentioned before, but I don’t have any specific memories of it."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "To be known by you, they must all be old powerhouses. It’s unexpected that this time, I actually had direct dealings with such a great power. Luckily, no conflict arose, or else that would have been the end of me."

Xi’s demeanor was serene: "The Yin-Yang Spring is not so critical to him. If he finds you amusing, giving you some leeway is quite normal, for to them, discovering interesting things can be much more fascinating than natural treasures."

Lin Chen also thought it made sense: "With their long lives, they must have experienced all sorts of things countless times. And since he is a space powerhouse who can step into innumerable worlds, he probably lacks nothing... Ah, where’s the joy in living like that?"

A smile played at the corners of Xi’s mouth: "Therefore, interesting things hold considerable allure for them, and apparently, he has taken some interest in you."

Lin Chen, puzzled, asked, "I’m merely a Fairy in his eyes, probably no different from an ant. Why would he find me intriguing?"

Xi replied, "The Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, such a formidable Magical Treasure, fell into the mortal realm by a stroke of fate and was picked up by a mortal like you. You relied on it to advance, reaching the Fairy realm in a short time, possessing Sword Bone, harboring Phenomenon in your heart, and even saving a Daluo Initial Immortal. All these events combined make a compelling story. Have you forgotten how Master Floating Cloud described you?"

Lin Chen suddenly came to his senses. Right, Master Floating Cloud had previously described him as "interesting" and even wanted to take him on as a disciple. Now he had encountered another Immortal who also found him interesting, and as a result, had afforded him many conveniences, giving him a free pass.

"It seems these big shots really do live quite dull lives..."

Lin Chen sighed, "Reaching their level of cultivation, perhaps they’re almost without any desires?"

Xi answered, "As long as they are still below the Saints, they all share the same pursuit, or should I say, the one pursuit they have. But becoming a Saint isn’t something you can achieve through mere wishing and efforting."

"The Immortal Realm is boundless, the Immortal Domains are countless. Apart from the Immortal Emperor, who is a universally acknowledged Saint, how many others have achieved sainthood? Can we even see any?"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened: "Could it be that the Immortal Emperor is the only Saint in the entire Immortal Realm?"

Xi shook her head: "That, I don’t know. Perhaps the Immortal Emperor knows the answer. You could ask him if you ever get the chance."

Lin Chen laughed heartily: "I don’t have that honor; with my strength, in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor, I’m no different than a mortal. To converse with him is a mere dream, isn’t it?"

Xi’s gentle gaze fell upon Lin Chen’s face, her tone just as gentle: "What’s impossible now doesn’t mean it’s impossible in the future."

Lin Chen, under Xi’s gaze, suddenly felt somewhat peculiar: "Xi Jie, when you changed your mind and chose me, was it because in your eyes, I’m an... interesting person?"

Xi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded lightly: "Partly for my own reasons and partly because I felt you were different from others. Mm, you could also be considered interesting, so I wanted to see what happens."

"I originally thought it would take you a long time to reach this step, yet you’ve done so in a very short time. Now you’re about to advance to Da Luo. Although the path ahead is harder and the promotions more difficult, I believe no matter how much time it takes, you will eventually get there."

"Your talent, compared to the many geniuses in the entire Immortal Realm, is nothing special. But what they can’t do, you’ve done; what they can’t advance through, you’ve smoothly advanced."

Lin Chen touched his nose: "This is because you’ve helped me a lot, Xi Jie. Without that, how could it have been so easy?"

Xi smiled and said, "That is an external factor, but it’s not the main reason. Anyway, don’t sell yourself short. I’m becoming more and more confident in you. The Immortal Emperor and Saints may seem out of reach now, but maybe one day, you’ll discover they weren’t as far away as you thought..."
