Chapter 2596: Chapter 2616: Yes, But Not Quite!

Zhen Liuxue’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen’s face, peering deeply.

"So what if it is; what if it isn’t?"

Lin Chen said honestly, "I’ve witnessed the strength of a Quasi-Saint, an existence that even a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal can’t contend with. If the Cave Master is a Quasi-Saint, with the addition of Array Formations or other aids, there might be hope to challenge that person, but if you’re not a Quasi-Saint, no matter how hard you try, it will all be like a sandcastle on the beach, wiped out completely with a sweep of the sea."

Zhen Liuxue said calmly, "You mean that if I am a Quasi-Saint, we can proceed, but if I am not, I might as well go wash up and sleep..."

Lin Chen, meeting Zhen Liuxue’s gaze, "That’s more or less the idea. Even for revenge, there must be some chance of success. If the chance is zero, it’s not revenge; it’s sending yourself to death. And our enemy would probably be very happy about that..."

Zhen Liuxue was silent for two seconds, "I am a Quasi-Saint, but at the same time, not quite."

Lin Chen, puzzled, looked at Zhen Liuxue, "Once you reach that realm, you are one; if not, you’re not. How can there be such ambiguity?"

Zhen Liuxue explained, "I can enter the Quasi-Saint Realm and fight with the strength of a Quasi-Saint, but there are significant side effects, so I don’t easily battle at the Quasi-Saint level. Currently, I am actually a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, but because I possess the Time Divine Ability, most who share equal strength with me, even other Superior Prime Daluo Immortals, wouldn’t be my match."

For a moment, Lin Chen was somewhat stunned. Was the realm really this flexible?

Although he found it peculiar, Lin Chen eventually came to understand Zhen Liuxue’s strength, simply put, an incomplete Quasi-Saint.

"Since you can fight with all your strength at the Quasi-Saint level, and you hold such a profound Time Divine Ability, it seems we’re not without a chance for battle."

Zhen Liuxue said composedly, "Yes, it’s worth a try, but the chances of victory are slim. The Domain is the foundation for deploying Divine Powers, and if my Domain cannot invade and envelop him, the Time Divine Ability won’t affect him. Even if my Domain surrounds him, he would be like a reef in the sea, unshakeable no matter how fierce the surrounding storm."

Lin Chen naturally understood the relationship between Divine Powers and Domains. This was also the most significant suppression by higher realm cultivators over lower realm cultivators; no matter how formidable your Divine Power, it needs to affect me to be of use.

It’s precisely because of this that it’s incredibly difficult for lower-realm cultivators to kill enemies beyond their realm, unless they catch them off guard with a sudden sneak attack that hits directly.

Zhen Liuxue was willing to pay such a high price to help Yue Chengtian set up the Lüxian Formation, hoping that this Formation could really unleash tremendous power and assist her. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult for her to maintain the Quasi-Saint strength all the time, given the abundance of powerhouses in the Myriad Immortal Hall.

Lin Chen naturally hoped that Zhen Liuxue would be more formidable. Otherwise, if he followed her, wouldn’t they be destroyed by the Myriad Immortal Hall in a split second?

As the two discussed, Yue Chengtian had finished writing the list of necessary resources and handed the list to Zhen Liuxue.

Zhen Liuxue skimmed through it, her brows slightly furrowing, "Spirit Stones aren’t an issue; we’ll have as many as we need. The materials for making Array Plates, though plentiful, are not a concern either. The main issue lies with the core of the Array Formation..."

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Sky Thunder, Yin and Yang... I have the cores for the Five Elements, and for the Water Formation and Gold Formation. When I left Ice and Snow City, I took with me an Extreme Cold Ice Soul. Over the years abroad, I’ve accumulated numerous Divine weapons. It’s not a problem to gather a dozen or so, but I do not have the cores for the Wood, Fire, and Earth Formations..."

Lin Chen spoke up, "I have the Phoenix Fire Spirit. Under the premise of not harming it, can we use it as the core for the Fire Formation?"

Zhen Liuxue asked in surprise, "A spirit?"

Lin Chen explained the origin of the Phoenix Fire Spirit, and Yue Chengtian, curious, asked, "Brother, may I see it?"

Lin Chen took out the bottle containing the Phoenix Fire Spirit and released it.

Yue Chengtian found that the Phoenix Fire Spirit could actually communicate and was immediately overjoyed. After a brief interaction and a few experiments, he excitedly said, "Brother, it is possible. Not only is the Phoenix Fire Spirit of high quality, but it also possesses intelligence. As the core of the Array Formation, its power could greatly enhance the Formation."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If it’s possible, then I’ll temporarily leave it in your care, but you have to treat it well. Don’t harm it."

Yue Chengtian pounded his chest in assurance, "Don’t worry, Brother. It will be within the protective framework of the Array. Unless the Array is completely shattered, nobody inside the Array will even be able to touch it. And if it really does break, it can immediately flee and hide underground."

"Alright then!"

Ever since Lin Chen brought back the Phoenix Fire Spirit, it had been residing within the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror, later transferred to the bottle, and had yet to be put to use. Now, there was finally an opportunity for it to prove its worth.

Zhen Liuxue looked at Lin Chen with an added twinge of complexity in her gaze; this young man had quite a few valuable things on him.

That wasn’t the key point; the key was that he was willing to voluntarily offer them up!
