The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3507 My Goal Is Not Just to Become a Saint
"They won, so you kept them as teachers?"

Qi looked at Lin Chen, a smile she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Lin Chen chuckled and replied, "Make the best use of everyone's talents. Rather than letting them rot in prison, it's better to put them to good use. After all, this is the Celestial Realm, where every professional field is far more advanced than in our Immortal Realm."

“If these two were to teach them, the professional skills of those specialists would be greatly improved. Although they might not need it for the time being, I think it might come in handy soon.”

Qi laughed and said, "Making the best use of people is indeed good. I thought you wanted them to go back to the sect's library to steal all sorts of secret manuals."

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I did think about it, but I felt it was a bit risky. If something unexpected happened, it could cause a lot of trouble, so I gave up in the end."

"Safety first! This Linglong Tower is for entry only, no exit allowed. That's the safest way!"

Ning Hesheng asked, "So what's next?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Exchange for the Spirit of the Great Dao, and then you can go and take a look at Ancestor Chen's Holy Domain."

Ning Hesheng stared at Lin Chen in surprise: "You're still planning to go into the Holy Domain to explore?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Since the Holy Domain does not allow saints to enter, it means that it is not a dead end for those with the strength of a quasi-saint. This is the rule of the Holy Domain. Otherwise, the Holy Domain would have no meaning to exist. After all, the Holy Domain is a precious gift left by the saints to their descendants. If it were all dead ends, it would go against the original intention."

"Now that we have this rubbing, we have a way out. We can go in and take a gamble. The reason we exchanged for the Great Dao Spirit first is to prepare a last resort for ourselves. If all else fails, I can absorb the Great Dao Spirit in the Holy Domain and then comprehend and break through."

Ning Hesheng asked hesitantly, "Since you can already reliably enter the Saintly Realm, why risk entering the Saintly Domain?"

Lin Chen replied with a smile, "I came to the Celestial God Realm with the aim of becoming a saint, but my goal is definitely not limited to that."

"With so many saints in the Celestial Realm, if I, a member of a different race, want to gain a foothold here and achieve greater development, then I must become stronger."

"Although I can't compare to the gods, I at least want to become one of the best among the saints. But as you all know, the cultivation methods after becoming a saint are completely different from those before becoming a saint."

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Ning Hesheng already understood: "You want to obtain the sacred techniques left behind by Ancestor Chen?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, Ancestor Chen is a saint with an earth spiritual root, which is exactly within the five elements. If I can obtain his saintly secrets, I will be able to cultivate and achieve great success. This may become my capital when I compete with other saints of the Celestial Gods in the Celestial God Realm."

"In your Celestial Realm sects, after someone becomes a saint, the sect will generally have a corresponding saintly cultivation technique. However, each saintly cultivation technique is very difficult to obtain, and its grade is also hard to say."

"If even you proud sons of the Celestial Clan are like this, then let alone me. If things had progressed normally, with my status and strength, it would have been impossible for me to obtain a high-grade Saint's cultivation technique."

"Since this rubbing has come into my hands, this is a stroke of luck. Although it's somewhat risky, I have to give it a try. Even if something unexpected happens, at worst I can break through to sainthood inside. According to the rule of the Holy Domain that excludes saints from entering, shouldn't they get me out?"

"Of course, it may not be as I think it is, but exploration always involves risks. You can't get something good without taking any risks at all."

Ning Hesheng fell silent, his eyes filled with admiration.

Putting myself in Lin Chen's shoes, if I had been the one to obtain the Spirit of the Great Dao, even if I had still received the rubbing for entering the Sacred Realm, I probably wouldn't have made the same choice. I would definitely have prioritized peacefully entering the Sacred Realm first, and dealt with the Sacred Techniques after becoming a Sacred Realm expert.

Since life is long and uncertain, let's take our time and make the most of it.

Lin Chen's plan is very risky and audacious, but if it succeeds, Lin Chen could rise to the top overnight.

Lin Chen has attained sainthood and inherited the ultimate skills of Ancestor Chen. Coupled with the advantage of his Five Elements spiritual roots, his combat power will rise to a terrifying level. From then on, even in the Celestial God Realm, as long as he doesn't provoke the Celestial Gods, he can probably walk sideways.

"Then let's go exchange for the Spirit of the Great Dao now."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Duanmu Wen: "Let's go to the Water God Temple first, and you can exchange for the Water Attribute Great Dao Spirit. Is there any problem with that?"

Duanmu replied, "Under normal circumstances, there will be no problem. This is a normal transaction."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen asked, "Then what about the final Metal-attribute Dao Spirit? Do we need to go to the territory of the god who controls the Metal Dao to exchange for it?"

Duanmu replied, "That is certainly one method, but there is another method, which is black market exchange."

"black market?"

Lin Chen asked doubtfully, "It sounds a bit informal. Can't we just exchange them openly and honestly?"

Duanmu replied, "The Spirit of the Great Dao is a precious item that all Quasi-Saints desire. Under normal circumstances, if you reveal that you possess the Spirit of the Great Dao, someone will definitely make a move against you."

"If you are a saint, others will usually not make a move against you unless they are absolutely certain of defeating you. But if you are only a sub-saint, you will be in great danger. Not only may a sub-saint of the same level attack you, but even a saint may attack you."

"Although a sage himself does not need the spirit of the Great Dao, his sect does, his relatives do. There are so many sub-sages, and so few spirits of the Great Dao. Who would complain about having too many spirits of the Great Dao?"

"Even if you take it back and it's useless to you, you can still sell it or exchange it for something else. The Spirit of the Great Dao is the most practical and popular hard currency in the Heavenly God Realm."

Lin Chen immediately understood. If you register your Dao Spirit somewhere, even in the Heavenly God Alliance, someone will betray your information for their own benefit, and then you will be targeted.

Although black market transactions may seem less secure, they are more discreet, and with caution, they can actually be much safer.

Lin Chen asked, "Where is the black market?"

Duanmu replied, "Every major city has a black market, but relatively speaking, the quality and value of the items traded in smaller cities are not very high. However, in developed megacities, the items traded there are all kinds of strange and valuable. For example, you can buy or exchange for Dao Spirits. Of course, finding a Dao Spirit that suits you depends on luck."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Since you can exchange them at the temple of the corresponding deity, why risk going to the black market?"
