Chapter 2402: Chapter 2422 Quasi-Saint

Lin Chen headed towards the North.

Although the probability of re-entering the safe zone was slim, he still had to check it out.

Adventurers sealed within this domain of Heaven and Earth were definitely not few, and they would instinctively move towards the safe zone.

Perhaps, something might happen?

Inside the Linglong Tower.

Lin Chen voiced his inner doubts, "A Great Power with mastery over Space Supernatural should at least be a Daluo Initial Immortal, right? It couldn’t be a Saint, could it? To be able to fold space like this, manipulating patches of land in the palm of one’s hand—this technique is heaven-reaching. Are the differences between Daluo Initial Immortals really that vast?"

Liuyun is a Daluo Initial Immortal, Master Floating Cloud is a Daluo Initial Immortal, Ghost True Man is also a Daluo Initial Immortal, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch is a Daluo Initial Immortal, and True Person Tai Xu is also a Daluo Initial Immortal. The one who arranged this Secret Realm must be a Daluo Initial Immortal as well, and the disparities among them are more than just marginal.

Master Floating Cloud answered, "You are surely aware that the Daluo Initial Immortal is divided into lower grade, middle grade, and top grade, right?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I know."

Master Floating Cloud explained, "The higher the realm of the immortal, the greater the disparities between each stage, and the differences in strength among immortals of the same realm also increase. Liuyun, myself, Ghost True Man, as well as Chenguang, Xuan Neng, and even Master Kuro, whom you’ve met before, are all top grade Daluo Initial Immortals. But as you’ve seen, there are differences in our strengths."

"Actually, above top grade Daluo Initial Immortals and below Saints, there is another stage. Strictly speaking, this is still within the top grade Daluo Initial Immortal, but they have already touched the threshold of the Saint Realm, and even stepped one foot into it..."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "A Quasi-Saint?"

Master Floating Cloud nodded, "Yes, that’s right. We refer to them as Quasi-Saints. Their Divine Power is absolutely beyond what we can compare to. If this Holy Spring Secret Realm is artificially created, then it’s likely that it was done by a Quasi-Saint."

A Quasi-Saint?

Lin Chen felt numb.

If this Secret Realm was truly the work of a Quasi-Saint, then what was their motive?

Lin Chen held back and then asked, "Master, if you were to become an enemy of a Quasi-Saint, what would be your chances of winning?"

Master Floating Cloud curled his lip, "Talking about winning odds against a Quasi-Saint, isn’t that a joke? If a top grade Daluo Initial Immortal could have a chance to defeat a Quasi-Saint, then he would be sullying the title of ’Saint’."

Alright, I understand.

The odds of winning for a top grade Daluo Initial Immortal against a Quasi-Saint are zero!

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then asked, "If, and I say if, the one who arranged the Holy Spring Secret Realm is a Quasi-Saint with an unspeakable agenda, causing the deaths of group after group of adventurers, wouldn’t the Immortal Emperors care at all?"

"Why would they care?"

Master Floating Cloud seemed puzzled as he asked, "In the eyes of a Saint, even Daluo is not worth mentioning, let alone those below Daluo who are like ants. If someone killed group after group of ants, would a Saint go out of their way to kill this person over some ants?"

Lin Chen fell silent.

The Immortal Path, the survival of the fittest, indeed.

Master Floating Cloud sighed, "If this Quasi-Saint went on a killing spree, wiping out one Immortal Domain after another, that would inevitably affect the interests of the lineage of the Immortal Emperors. Take this Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain for example, if a Quasi-Saint were to kill indiscriminately, it would surely impact the interests of the Myriad Immortal Hall, which would naturally intervene. Even if the Myriad Immortals Hall Master couldn’t win, they would report to the Immortal Emperor, asking for the Immortal Emperor to back them."

"As it stands, if this Quasi-Saint has created such a Secret Realm, even if he killed all the adventurers that vanished due to the refreshing of the Secret Realm, no one would blame him. After all, it’s known to all that entering the Secret Realm carries risks. If you take the risk and something happens to you, that’s your own fault—who else can you blame?"

After pausing, Master Floating Cloud said with a bitter smile, "Strictly speaking, we came here for a place to heal, which was also taking a risk for something we sought. Now it’s just that the risk has become a reality."

Lin Chen thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

This Secret Realm is like a bamboo cage for trapping birds, with rice sprinkled below. The birds outside are attracted by the food and risk flying in to eat the rice below the cage. Some birds have good luck and fly away after eating, while others are unlucky—the cage falls over and traps them.

The unlucky birds are now caged, and whether they get roasted, stewed, or set free, it’s all up to the person who propped up the cage with a single thought.

Lin Chen and his companions were the trapped birds.

Lin Chen unwillingly asked, "Master Kuro seems much more powerful than you; is he a Quasi-Saint?"

Lin Chen possessed a token given by Master Kuro, which he could use to summon his true body once.

Master Floating Cloud shook his head, "He’s not a Quasi-Saint, just a very powerful top grade Daluo Initial Immortal."

Lin Chen immediately felt somewhat disheartened; it seemed that his hope of seeking help from Master Kuro was dashed.

The odds of a top grade Daluo Initial Immortal against a Quasi-Saint are zero.

As Lin Chen felt disheartened, the image of another person suddenly flashed through his mind. He inquired, "Master, do you know True Person Tai Xu, and is he powerful?"
