The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3452 The Concept of Gods

“Under normal circumstances, if you can get to such a place, the other party will generally put things aside for the time being unless they have a life-or-death feud with you. Otherwise, if you cause extreme damage, you will be punished by the gods.”

Ning Hesheng solemnly reminded him: "You can use this method to evade the pursuit of other saints and make them hesitate to act, but if others treat you like this, you'd better stop. Once you attract the wrath of the gods, you won't even have a place to escape to."

"Even if you have the ability to jump between stars, you may not be able to escape in the face of the terrifying power of the gods. After all, every god possesses the spirit of the star map and the supernatural power of jumping between stars."

Lin Chen looked surprised: "Ah, everyone has one?"

Ning Hesheng laughed and said, "If one does not possess the great supernatural power of leaping through the stars, how can one descend to the heavens at will in this vast realm of the Gods?"

Lin Chen suddenly realized: "Divine Descent and Starry Sky Jump are also linked, right?"

Ning Hesheng nodded and said, "Divine Descent is actually a projection of the primordial spirit, not the actual descent of the primordial spirit. However, to project, there are two conditions: first, positioning, and second, long-distance projection. The divine descent technique of the sages is positioning, and to project over long distances, one needs to jump through the stars. However, the gods have already integrated projection and star-space jumping together. Wherever the will goes, the projection will arrive."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I thought this Divine Descent Technique was something mysterious, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

Ning Hesheng calmly said, "No matter how magnificent and grand the supernatural power appears, its core principles are still the same. It's just that others can't do it, but you can. That's what others see as a great supernatural power."

Thinking of the all-powerful gods, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "Conceptually, I understand that gods control some kind of unique Great Dao, but how do they manifest it?"

Ning Hesheng also looked confused: "I don't know either. Although I have seen the Divine Descent Technique, the projection of the primordial spirit and the celestial god are obviously different, so I don't know how to answer this question."

Ning Hesheng hesitated for a moment: "If we compare it to reading and learning knowledge, those who start cultivating are beginners, then they learn and advance step by step, and finally they completely understand all the knowledge of this subject, without any misunderstanding, to the point that they themselves are synonymous with this subject..."

Lin Chen looked surprised; the analogy was quite interesting.

Are elementary school students cultivators?
Are high school students immortals?
Are universities like immortal beings?
Are graduate students and doctoral students saints?
Further up, the gods might correspond to specific academic disciplines, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, and so on.

The concept of "god" is no longer about reaching a certain level of academic achievement, but rather about the discipline itself; it has become a macroscopic concept.

With mixed feelings, the giant ship sailed through the Celestial Realm and finally returned to the Qiyun Sect.

Although the journey was long, Lin Chen didn't actually see much of the local customs and culture of the Celestial Realm, because the giant ship was flying above the clouds and couldn't see the ground at all.

The gate of Qiyun Sect is located between two majestic mountain peaks. The giant ship passed through the wide canyon between the peaks and then arrived at a huge square, which looked like the front of the mountain gate.

The giant ship came to a stop. Lin Che followed Ning He and got off the ship. Then he saw the snow ape that had been pulling the ship all the way untethered, excitedly take flight, and leap into the air before disappearing into a burst of light.

"This snow ape is the guardian beast of our Qiyun Sect. It usually roams freely throughout the sect. If there is an invasion by external enemies or other special circumstances, it will give a warning."

Lin Chen wasn't surprised. After all, in the Immortal Realm, many powerful sects had similar demonic beasts, which were used to guard the mountain gates or important places within the sect. These demonic beasts were often powerful and more useful than cultivators.

After crossing the square, you can see a large mountain range suspended in mid-air, and on the mountain peaks are three huge characters.

Qiyun Sect.

That mountain peak was uninhabited, hanging silently in mid-air.

Is this considered a... plaque? Lin Chen had seen mountains floating in the sky before, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a uniquely shaped, majestic, and imposing mountain hanging upside down just to display the name of a sect.

Who can blame them when their sect is so powerful?
There are saints!

Is it strange that something unusual happens?

Not surprising at all!
After entering the mountain gate and passing through the thin mist, the scenery before my eyes changed once again.

Three majestic mountain ranges rise into the clouds, and countless houses are built on these mountains. In the air, many people are flying back and forth, creating a lively scene.

Beneath the majestic mountains lay countless fertile fields and hills. Upon closer inspection, Lin Chen discovered that these fields and hills were not planted with ordinary crops, but with various celestial herbs so abundant in spiritual energy that they glowed.

"The Qiyun Sect is divided into three peaks, each specializing in different things. One peak is where the disciples live, one is for alchemy, one is for weapon crafting, and of course there are others, but since they are not particularly outstanding, they are scattered in various places."

Lin Chen asked, "Is the Qiyun Sect very skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting?"

Ning Hesheng's expression was somewhat subtle: "Within the Qiyun Sect, alchemy and weapon crafting are the two largest categories. The sect requires that disciples, in addition to their daily cultivation, must choose a skill to learn. Pills and magic weapons are obviously the most needed things for cultivation, so they naturally remain the largest branches."

"This is not just our Qiyun Sect, but many other sects are the same. However, if you ask how powerful our alchemy and weapon crafting are, compared to the major alchemy sects or weapon crafting sects outside, we certainly cannot compare."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I understand. It's about being self-sufficient and entertaining oneself."

Ning Hesheng raised an eyebrow, subconsciously wanting to change his words, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't find the right words.

Although Lin Chen's description was a bit hurtful to someone's self-esteem, it seemed to be quite accurate.

The Qiyun Sect is not a small force, after all, it has three Saints within its ranks, but it is by no means a major power.

Good news: Qiyun Sect has three sages.

Bad news: Qiyun Sect only has three Saints.

After the disciples returned, Zhang Yang didn't say anything more and waved his hand to dismiss everyone.

"Come with me to my cave."

Lin Chen followed Ning Hesheng without saying a word, passing through the first two mountain ranges and arriving at the last one.

"Disciples within the sect are ranked. The lower the strength of the disciple, the lower their dwelling location and the lower the concentration of spiritual energy in their cave. The stronger the disciple and the higher their status, the higher their dwelling location and the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in their cave..."

Lin Chen asked, "You're already a Quasi-Saint, so you should be considered the most powerful person below the Saint level, right?"

Ning Hesheng nodded: "There are many quasi-sages, but I am the most powerful among them."
