Chapter 816: Chapter 836: There Are Many Things You Can’t Afford to Gamble On_1

"I’ve reached the Perfect Golden Core stage, bottleneck stage now."

Qiao Wei said in disbelief, "Before we came here, hadn’t you just entered the Late Golden Core stage? The Late Golden Core stage is not the Perfect Golden Core. Don’t get it wrong!"

Lin Chen chuckled and recounted his experience of quietly cultivating in the pond to avoid the Golden Lion and eventually reaching the Perfect Golden Core stage.

After staring at Lin Chen for a while, Qiao Wei helplessly sighed, "You stinky brat, you’ve had some good luck."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s all thanks to Senior Brother’s Dharma Seal hiding my breath. Otherwise, I would have been dead with the Golden Lion right above me."

"That’s why I said you’re lucky. Either way, you managed to avoid danger."

Qiao Wei sighed and gave advice, "Since you’ve already reached the Perfect Golden Core stage, the Wudao Fruit will be useful. Once you’ve fully refined the Sword Bone, you can try to eat the Wudao Fruit to break through."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Can it break through the bottleneck and directly promote me?"

Qiao Wei rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, "Not that easy. It simply helps you comprehend and increases the probability of breaking through. If someone is useless, it won’t work no matter how many fruits they eat. However, if their talent is sufficient, it’ll lend them a helping hand and let them feel the location of the door to break the barrier."

Lin Chen suddenly realized and was overjoyed.

This was like falling asleep on a pillow!

Breaking down that door may be possible through persistence, finding the door itself is extremely difficult. One can say that once they’ve touched that door, they’ve already achieved half of their breakthrough.

"Will one fruit be enough?"

Qiao Wei replied, "As I just said, it’s about probability. If one doesn’t work, you can continue eating. Stop when you succeed. As for how many you will need, it depends on your luck."

Lin Chen was slightly disappointed, "So you’re saying that I might need only one fruit to succeed, or I might finish all nine without any success, right?"

Qiao Wei poked Lin Chen’s chest with her finger and reprimanded unhappily, "Don’t look so disappointed. Do you know how difficult it is to break through? Even for the transition from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, cultivators with limited talent may never cross that threshold in their lifetime. It’s normal for talented ones to be stuck for ten or even dozens of years. These nine fruits can save you a lot of time, so just be content."

Lin Chen asked, "Why don’t you take a few, Senior Sister?"

"No."

Qiao Wei refused without hesitation, "I’ve just entered the Transforming God stage, and I don’t know how long it will take me to reach the Transforming Spirit Peak. It’s useless for me to have it now. You just keep it for yourself and try to advance earlier to avoid being beaten everywhere."

Being beaten everywhere?

Lin Chen felt embarrassed; this remark was too damaging to his self-esteem.

Who was to blame for not leaving the novice village and directly facing elite geniuses and top big shots?

Could he not get beaten?

If it were someone of the same age, let’s see who gets beaten!

"Fine, I’ll keep it for now. If you need it later when you reach the Divinity Great Perfection, I’ll give it to you."

Qiao Wei nodded and said, "We’ll talk about that later. Let’s pack up and head back."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Aren’t we waiting for Senior Brother?"

Qiao Wei smiled, "Senior Brother won’t return to South Mountain. He usually wanders around. We don’t need to worry about him. I reckon they’ll go back to Yin Yang Valley and explore the Tomb of the Demon Emperor. Even if it’s not possible, they won’t leave just like that."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, as a small transparent person, I won’t participate in the big shots’ activities."

Why participate?

With the Emperor’s Scripture, the most crucial treasure for human cultivators, in hand, why not leave right away?

Lin Chen and Qiao Wei started their journey back, went to the nearest city, and called for Lu Daoren. The three people returned to Nanyue Hengshan together.

Nothing happened along the way, and they arrived safely.

Lin Chen let Lu Daoren settle down at the marketplace by himself, and followed Qiao Wei to meet Master Shi Changsheng.

After hearing the two’s story, Shi Changsheng’s usually cold face showed an expression of surprise.

"So the Demon Emperor’s Successor is your father?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, but his current state is very wrong. I don’t know what will happen in the future. I want to bring my mother, who is currently in Kunlun Mountain, back to live at Fei Pu Peak. I’m asking Master for permission."

"You may."

Shi Changsheng agreed to Lin Chen’s request. He immediately pondered for a moment and then handed out two Jade Slips, "These are the Human Emperor Scripture’s Human Scroll and Earth Scroll. Read them. Whether or not you practice is not important, but you can gain some insight. Since the Demon Emperor’s Successor is your father, you might get a chance to come in contact with the Heaven Scroll in the future."

The Heaven Scroll is already in my spatial ring.

Lin Chen muttered in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it. He didn’t know how big a crisis this revelation would bring or how dangerous it would be for himself.

Ascending to immortality is an irresistible temptation for cultivators!

Qiao Wei had said that Master Shi Changsheng didn’t care about worldly matters, but his only pursuit was ascending to immortality.

He chose to believe in his father’s words and not tell anyone.

His father wouldn’t harm him, would he?

As for Master?

Hadn’t senior sister said that cultivators all have their own opportunities? It’s enough for oneself to know, and there’s no need to tell others, even if they’re close ones.

When it comes to human nature, some things just can’t be taken for granted!
