I'm already a Great Luo Golden Immortal, how come you're only Martial Saints?

The values ​​of each Divine Realm Walker have been measured, and the values ​​are distributed reasonably. There are no signs of malfunction in the testing chamber.

Old Qin fell completely silent.

He looked at Ning Chen beside him, who had a knowing look on his face.

The old man, who had dedicated his life to the study of life sciences, had an incredibly complex look in his eyes.

He moved his lips a few times, but in the end he just sighed heavily, patted Ning Chen on the shoulder, said nothing, turned around and led his research team to pack up their equipment and leave.

Old Qin knew that this was not a problem with the equipment, but rather that the young man's vitality had far exceeded the scope that Blue Star Technology could currently define.

Just as the old man was about to get on the bus, he suddenly turned around.

"Ning Chen, I swear, next time I'll definitely be able to build an instrument strong enough to measure your life force! If 20,000 isn't enough, then 100,000; if 100,000 isn't enough, then a million!"

Ning Chen's lips twitched, and he was about to dissuade Old Qin.

Lao Luo patted him on the shoulder.

"Forget it, let him be. Having such a strong conviction might actually be a good thing for Old Master Qin..."

Ning Chen nodded. Indeed, some elderly people with strong convictions live longer.

It would be wonderful if a national treasure like Professor Qin could live a few more years.

As the research team left, the gazes of the crowd toward Ning Chen became increasingly complex.

We've both been practicing for two years and not even half, so why are you so outstanding?

Even if you're cheating, you've gone too far!

All of us combined don't even have half the life force of you?

Ning Chen, what kind of cultivation path do you actually practice?

……

That afternoon, Luo Zhantian was summoned by higher-ups to report on the specific details of his trip to the Divine Realm.

In that confidential conference room, Luo Zhantian recounted their gains in the Journey to the West Divine Realm.

"With Ning Chen's help, we successfully arrived at the Taoist ancestral home, Louguantai in Zhongnan Mountain, met Zhang Qingxuan, the leader of the Zhengyi Sect, and all of us joined the Zhengyi Sect, receiving the inheritance of cultivation!"

"Especially me, under Zhang Qingxuan's guidance, overnight I successfully transformed all the hundred-year-old ninth-level innate internal energy within my body into purer true energy, closer to the origin of heaven and earth!"

"This is a qualitative leap!"

Luo Zhantian clenched his fists, his voice booming.

"True Qi is a transcendent power that surpasses Internal Force. The strength of True Qi is ten times that of Internal Force! One point of True Qi can be converted into ten points of Comprehension, a conversion rate of ten to one compared to Internal Force!"

"Humans like me who cultivate true qi are also called qi refiners!"

Upon hearing the new terms "true qi" and "qi cultivator," the people on the stage began to whisper among themselves.

Luo Zhantian clenched his fists, and golden light shone around his body, instantly giving him an aura as deep as an abyss.

"We have taken a crucial step on the path to transcendence! The Zhengyi Sect possesses a complete Qi-refining method called the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill Method, as well as pills to stimulate true Qi, the Spirit Elixir Pill, and even the legacy of sages! I strongly suggest that the nation immediately dispatch more Divine Realm cultivators to enter the first level of the Journey to the West Divine Realm!"

"Our goal is the Zhengyi Sect in Zhongnan Mountain! This place can train Qi cultivators; it's a major step towards the fate of the nation!"

"The old Taoist priest doesn't have much time left. After he dies, the Zhengyi sect will be inherited by us!"

"I need more support!"

Luo Zhantian's voice echoed continuously in the conference room...

……

The next day, at the Kyoto University Divine Realm Walker Special Classroom.

Ning Chen and his group of friends have already gathered.

Luo Zhantian conveyed the rewards from higher-ups: 100 points and 100 million yuan in cash for each person, with Ning Chen receiving an additional 400 points on top of that.

He then turned to the main topic with a serious expression.

"The third level of the Divine Realm will open in six days. Based on the limited information we have so far, the greatest threat to the third level is those 100,000 demon monkeys!"

Apart from Ning Chen, everyone else was hearing about the specifics of the third level of the Divine Realm for the first time. Their pupils constricted, and their minds went blank.

"One hundred thousand?"

"A demon, a demon monkey?"

"What the hell is the point of fighting? Are we just going in to die?"

"It's over! I just obtained an extraordinary opportunity, and before I even had a chance to cultivate, I'm going to die!"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Zhantian smiled and comforted them.

"Don't panic, don't panic. Although the number of demon monkeys is huge, we are not without a way to deal with them."

My plan is...

Luo drew a formation diagram on the blackboard. He looked around at everyone and spoke with a resolute tone.

"All of us, including Chen Feng, form a defensive battle formation! Me and a few classmates with high physique stats will hold the outer perimeter. Sun Rongrong and Wu Dajin, you two will provide support in the center. Chen Feng, you can use the Taoist techniques you've mastered to provide flexible support."

"Our goal is to protect Ning Chen at all costs! We'll use our bodies as targets to draw the demon monkey's fire, creating an opportunity for Ning Chen to break through the Two Realms Mountain boundary!"

"According to the expert team's calculations, once we pass the Two Realms Mountain, it's highly likely we'll have cleared the level, thus buying us all another precious year!"

"Now, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who don't want to go won't be forced by their teacher, but you will also lose the opportunity to return to the first level of the divine realm."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy. Did they have to risk their lives to protect Ning Chen and get through the third trial?

Then who will protect our lives?

But everyone knew in their hearts that if any of them had a slim chance of breaking through the Two Realms Mountain under the attack of 100,000 demon monkeys, it would definitely be Ning Chen.

I'll risk it all! After all, Ning gave me my life, so I can always pay him back!

Tang Hao, Zhao Zhenyuan, Zhou Tao, Qian Quan, and others raised their hands, their faces showing tension, but even more so, determination.

They had already been carried through the second hurdle by Ning Chen.

In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to be a hero in front of others, you can't do without paying a price.

Having only passed through two divine realms, the benefits they gained were opportunities that many people could not obtain in a lifetime.

Chen Feng also raised his hand. He knew in his heart that with his rudimentary Taoist skills, he was no match for the 100,000 demon monkeys.

Only by fighting for Ning Chen's survival can he have a brighter future.

Moreover, his master also gave him a substitute death talisman!

In the end, everyone agreed with Professor Luo's plan.

Ning Chen, who had been sitting quietly by the window with his eyes closed, slowly opened them, his gaze clear and deep.

Well, not bad. It wasn't in vain that I helped you join the Zhengyi Sect.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, surprised Ning Chen quite a bit; he might consider adding him to the small group.

He stood up.

"Teacher Luo."

"Your plan is excellent, and I see everyone's determination. However, as far as I know, there is a way to safely pass through the third level without fighting."

"what?"

Everyone was stunned, even Luo Zhantian was taken aback.

Ning Chen's lips curled into a perfect smile, and his gaze seemed to pierce through space, seeing the scene of the Two Realms Mountain.

Is a shrewd stone monkey suppressed among the layers of jagged rocks, eagerly awaiting his arrival?

Wukong's words echoed in his mind.

Junior brother, five hundred years have passed, have you found that great freedom and ease?

Senior brother, what about you?

"If everything goes as I expect."

Ning Chen paused his thoughts, his voice filled with powerful confidence.

"You just need to wait on the outer layer, and you will get through this safely!"

Ning Chen's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in everyone's hearts.

No need for combat?

Then we can cross the Two Realms Mountain guarded by 100,000 demon monkeys.

How is that possible?

Are you the Monkey King's biological father?

We can't possibly spend every day lying down!

But looking at Ning Chen's calm smile, which seemed to indicate that he had everything under control, a strange sense of confidence also arose within me.

Ning Chen has created far too many miracles. Since he said that, perhaps he really does have a way to lead everyone safely through the third level?

Luo gave Ning Chen a deep look.

"Okay then, let Ning Chen try it first. If it doesn't work, then we'll follow the teacher's method."

"Here you go!"
