Chapter 2891: Chapter 2911: Can’t Let You Have a Vain Expectation

Jade Star Lord turned around, smiled at Lin Chen, and his gaze, though not sharp, somehow made Lin Chen feel as though all his secrets were being seen through.

"Your body, forged of Sword Bone, is impressive; no wonder you could withstand that strike that day. It’s just a pity that you gave the opportunity to your disciple..."

Lin Chen chuckled and explained, "That opportunity was originally my disciple’s. Her entire family was slaughtered because of the Secret Realm Map from Qiqiao Hall, and just when I happened to save her, I accompanied her on this Adventure. I intended to help her without any thoughts of greed; moreover, when she risked her life to save me, how could I, as her Master, covet my disciple’s opportunity?"

Jade Star Lord nodded in approval, "That was one of the things I admired about you the most. Good people aren’t rare, but faced with the temptation that could bring one great achievements and the realization of becoming a Daluo Immortal, not many at your stage of strength can resist such a temptation and stay true to themselves."

Lin Chen humbly replied, "Senior is giving me too much praise."

White Cloud Star Lord asked, "What realm are you in now?"

Lin Chen answered, "Top-Grade Da Luo Supreme Immortal."

Jade Star Lord laughed, "Although you possess a body of Sword Bone, your innate talent is not particularly high, and you lack a powerful background. To have advanced to your current level of strength in such a short time through your own efforts and opportunities is quite commendable."

Lin Chen replied, "Maybe it’s because I’ve been quite lucky so far, encountering many benefactors along the way."

Jade Star Lord asked, "How did you come to know the Saint of Thieves?"

Lin Chen honestly recounted how he came to know Bai Yunfei. After hearing the story, Jade Star Lord smiled and said, "It’s all fate. You say you were appointed as the leader of a sect before even arriving. How did that happen?"

Lin Chen recounted the incident with the Demon Race in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. Jade Star Lord’s expression turned to one of surprise, "The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch and we discussed the emergence of the Demon Race in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, and your name came up. I just never expected that the one who earned great merits would be you..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I just happened to encounter it. The true victory over the Demon Race’s leader was by the Quasi-Saints of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. At most, I played a role in passing on the message."

Jade Star Lord disagreed, "The first time you blew up their Sacrificial Altar and destroyed the Teleportation Formation was a great achievement. Otherwise, I fear the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain would have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race by now, and even if the discovery had been early, a bloody war to reclaim the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain would likely have completely devastated it."

"It seems Shepherd Heavenly Monarch might have divined something when he first met you, which is why he invited you to the Crimson Immortal Domain. And then you encountered the Demon Race..."

Driven by curiosity, Lin Chen asked, "If the Hall Master knows Heaven’s Secret and can predict the future, couldn’t he have foreseen the Demon Race invading the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain?"

Jade Star Lord laughed, "Predicting the future yields only fragments of broken information, not a clear and complete picture. If it were possible to predict everything accurately, wouldn’t many things become too simple?"

After a pause, Jade Star Lord answered Lin Chen’s earlier question, "The Saint of Thieves has been here for a while, but due to his special abilities, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch has entrusted him with a special task, so he likely won’t return for some time."

Lin Chen uttered an "oh" with a touch of disappointment in his heart. After all, he was quite familiar with the Saint of Thieves, and having him around would have been like having another support, right?

Jade Star Lord surveyed Lin Chen, "If you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, feel free to bring them up and I’ll see if I can help you in some way."

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I was rewarded with a large amount of Cultivation Resources from the Book Sea Pavilion for my merits in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, so I am not short of resources—what I lack now is time."

Jade Star Lord nodded, "It’s tough that someone as young as you has to face an Asura Field like the war between immortals and demons, but wars only consider victory and defeat, not age."

"If war breaks out, the Spirit Ascending Array will be activated. If you earn enough battle merits, you can enter and cultivate within it to speed up your advancement. However, the Spirit Ascending Array can only enhance strength; it can’t help with Breaking the Realm, that you still have to do on your own."

Lin Chen nodded, "My Talent and innate abilities are average. I came here hoping to contribute and also to seek opportunities to improve myself."

Jade Star Lord’s gaze showed satisfaction as he looked at Lin Chen, "Since you don’t have any particular cultivation difficulties, there’s not much I can help you with. Since you mentioned wanting to ’cling onto a big thigh,’ I can’t let you be disappointed for nothing, can I?"

With a wave of his hand, a White Jade Token flew towards Lin Chen, "This is the White Jade Token, my token that represents me. If anyone bullies you here, you can show it. It contains a Communication Array Formation which you can also use to contact me..."
