The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3515 The Enchanting Path of the Gods
Zhao Tianjue was telling the truth, so his eyes were open and honest.

He naturally didn't want to make an enemy of Elder Chiba. Since the matter had nothing to do with him, he naturally had to explain it clearly.

Old Man Qianye stared at Zhao Tianjue: "Did you discover anything while you were with them?"

Zhao Tianjue recounted how he accidentally bumped into Ning Hesheng and Lin Chen after leaving the City Lord's Mansion of Elder Qianye, and then told him everything that happened afterward.

"That imposter, Elder Chiba, came out of a magic pagoda. I was wondering when you got involved with them, and why you were acting so suspiciously. It wasn't until he tricked the Spirit of the Great Dao and quietly left that I realized that person was probably fake."

The old man Qianye's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "You can run away, but you can't hide. Qiyun Sect, is it? I'll go to Qiyun Sect and find them!"

Since the person had already fled, Zhao Tianjue naturally didn't care about the aftermath. He just wanted to understand everything and absolve himself of responsibility.

"The Qiyun Sect has three Saints. If you want to cause trouble for them, you will probably have to bring more friends. If you go alone, they may not give you face."

"Also, you have to hurry, otherwise, once the other party has completely absorbed the spirit of the Great Dao, even if you find them, it will be too late."

Elder Qianye coldly said, "If we can't find it, I will make the entire Qiyun Sect pay with their lives!"

Zhao Tianjue cupped his hands and said, "Then I wish you success in retrieving the Spirit of the Great Dao."

Elder Qianye, not wanting to waste any more time, bid a swift and decisive farewell: "Fellow Daoist, thank you for your information. I will verify it. If it is true, then I will owe you a favor, and I will definitely visit the Black Emperor Palace to express my gratitude!"

Old Man Chiba waved his sleeves, and golden light shone from them, instantly capturing Sha Qianhe. Then, Old Man Chiba transformed into golden light and vanished into the sky.

Zhao Muran watched as Elder Qianye left with Sha Qianhe, looking dejected: "I wasted so much time and got nothing in return. Elder Qianye is such a hypocrite, all talk and no action. If he were truly grateful, why wouldn't he lend me his magic weapon?"

There was a hint of regret in Zhao Tianjue's eyes: "If I had known earlier that the old man Qianye was a fake, I could have risked attacking. What a pity."

Zhao Muran said indignantly, "That Ning Hesheng is really bold. He actually dared to scheme against Elder Qianye. Isn't he afraid of bringing trouble upon himself and causing the destruction of the Qiyun Sect?"

Zhao Tianjue said coldly, "If the people in the sect treat him well enough, like family, he will naturally have more consideration in his actions. But if the people in the sect don't like him, and everyone is only superficially friendly, like strangers, do you think he will care?"

"If you were presented with an opportunity to break through to sainthood, but the price would be that your sect would be implicated and might even be destroyed, what would you choose?"

Zhao Muran was taken aback: "If there were no one in the sect I cared about, I would definitely choose to become a saint on my own. But Ning Hesheng is such a prodigy, and his strength is so great, he should be highly valued."

Zhao Tianjue said coldly, "A powerful disciple doesn't necessarily mean he's valued. Of course, it's also possible that he thought he could get away with it without anyone noticing, which is why he made his move."

Zhao Muran nodded: "I think that's more likely. After all, if we hadn't happened to pass by, and if I hadn't happened to recognize him, and if we hadn't had Grandpa's strong tracking ability, we would never have been able to find out the truth of the whole thing."

After a pause, Zhao Muran asked with envy, "So, does that mean Ning Hesheng will soon break through to become a saint?"

Zhao Tianjue frowned and asked, "What kind of spiritual root does Ning Hesheng have?"

"Dark Spirit Root."

After Zhao Muran finished speaking, he also came to his senses: "That's not right. According to Sha Qianhe, when they arrived at the Water God Temple, they wanted to exchange a Dao Spirit for a water-attribute Dao Spirit, but Sha Qianhe snatched it from them, so they tried to trick the water-attribute Dao Spirit back." "This water-attribute Dao Spirit wasn't for Ning Hesheng!"

Zhao Tianjue nodded: "I guess the key is still that saint. Ning Hesheng may just be running errands. It's entirely possible that Ning Hesheng has been subdued and is now obeying the fishmen."

After a pause, Zhao Tianjue flicked his sleeve and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us anymore. Let's go. We need to think of other ways. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable letting you enter the Holy Domain."

"You don't need to envy them. As long as you enter the Holy Domain and gain something, your achievements will definitely be much greater than theirs."

Zhao Muran's eyes lit up, her gaze expectant: "Okay!"

……

In a desolate place, Lin Chen suddenly appeared from the air.

He summoned the exquisite pagoda and crawled inside.

Everyone was overjoyed, after all, it was a great joy to have so easily earned a portion of the Great Dao Spirit.

The Enchantress Lord had returned to her original form and handed over the water-attribute Dao Spirit that she had tricked into giving to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen praised, "Meishi, you have done a great service this time, but I don't know how to reward you. Is there anything you want?"

Lord Enchantress said with a smile, "My only expectation is to become stronger. I have no interest in anything else."

"You haven't become a saint yet, and you haven't obtained many good things. Let's just remember this merit for now. When you become more powerful, you can capture more saints for me to devour."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "If I devour a Saint, will my strength increase?"

"Yes."

The Enchantress Lord replied, "We used to absorb energy to strengthen ourselves by using the purple crystal pillars to absorb life force and then convert it for us to absorb. However, a large part of the life force absorbed by the purple crystal pillars was absorbed by the sleeping demons, and then they had to feed countless demons. So, the amount that we could actually absorb was not much."

"That's why I initially hoped to devour an entire realm by myself, strengthen my power, and even improve my strength and realm. But after this period of contact with the Celestial Clan, I realized that I had oversimplified things."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "It's simple, how so?"

The Enchantress smiled and said, "Gods are not created out of nothing, but are the beginning of the Great Dao. Each Great Dao is unique. To put it simply, each Great Dao is a kind of divine essence. Obtaining a divine essence allows one to control the Great Dao and become a God."

"Because of the uniqueness of each Great Dao, no matter how much we devour, transform, and strengthen ourselves, if we do not obtain that unique divine spark, we can never ascend to the level of a celestial god."

Lin Chen suddenly realized something: "You were all created by the Lord of the Abyss using his special abilities, so your attributes are naturally the same as his. He was a god before, which means he possessed a divine status. In other words, which means that whoever wants to become a god must seize the divine status of the Lord of the Abyss?"
