On the fourth floor of the Divine Prison Tower, nearly two years passed before Lin Chen finally opened his eyes.
"How many stars are connected to your body?"
Ling'er's voice rang out with a little curiosity, and she could only roughly judge Lin Chen's state.
"42."
Lin Chen laughed. This time, the eighth-level Taoist Holy Pill did not disappoint him.
Originally, although Ling'er said that Lin Chen had broken through to the Great Perfection of Hedao Realm, it was just a guess after all. Now when he heard Lin Chen say it from his own words, Mandala Tree couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and was extremely envious.
When it first met Lin Chen, Lin Chen's strength was not as good as it, but now it has been severely left behind by Lin Chen.
"The 42 stars are much stronger than the previous 26 stars.
If you are an ordinary cultivator, you are not far away from hitting the realm of enlightenment at this time.
However, when you were in the Shaping Dao Realm, you condensed 99 stars in your body, and now you are connected to 42 stars. Although you have reached the Great Perfection of the Hedao Realm, in fact, you are only almost halfway to the Hedao Realm."
Ling'er saw that although Lin Chen didn't show anything on his face, but his eyes were full of joy, he couldn't help but say.
Her words were like a basin of cold water poured on the head of Lin Chen, who was a little excited.
Yes, to be precise, I have not yet completed half of the road to the realm of Hedao. I am still far away from the realm of enlightenment. What can I be proud of?
Furthermore, no matter whether there are 26 stars or 42 stars connected in one's body, in the eyes of the leader of the Shengyan Sect, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, and the Godmother, there is probably no difference. They are all minions who can be killed with a snap of a finger.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen also completely calmed down.
Your next goal is to break through to the realm of enlightenment. You must not be complacent just because you have made some progress.
"How long have I been in seclusion?"
Lin Chen asked.
Ling'er said: "More than two months have passed outside.
Are you leaving seclusion?"
"Let's wait a while."
Lin Chen said, took out a jade slip from the space ring, and whispered to himself, "Now I should be able to easily crush the Dzogchen of the ordinary Hedao realm. If I learn this "Ghost Step", I will encounter
The existence of Dzogchen, the topmost Hedao realm, might also have the power to fight?"
A few more days have passed outside.
On this day, Lin Chen finally came out of seclusion and found Elder Hua.
"What, you want to spar with me?"
After hearing Lin Chen's words, Elder Hua was a little stunned for a moment, and then showed a dumbfounded expression.
Lan Yanmei and Elder Yun were also present. Elder Yun was also at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, while Lan Yanmei burst out laughing.
"Elder Lin, it seems that your strength has improved somewhat during this retreat.
But it’s better not to ask Elder Hua to spar with you. If you get beaten up and your face is bruised and swollen, it will look a bit unsightly.”
Lan Yanmei covered her mouth and smiled.
"oh?
Elder Lan just thinks that I have no chance of winning?"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.
Although he didn't know the specific strength of Elder Hua, he had heard that Elder Hua's combat prowess was one of the best among the elders of Taichu Shenshan Hedao Realm, so he thought of asking Elder Hua to compete with each other and wanted to take a look.
, is it possible for me to win now against the Dzogchen who is at the top of Tianque Star?
Seeing Lan Yanmei laugh, Lin Chen felt somewhat unconvinced.
The smile on Lan Yanmei's face faded a bit, and she said with a faint smile: "Elder Lin, it's not that I look down on you. Your soul level is now at the sixth level of the Tao Realm. If you meet the Dzogchen of the Ordinary Hedao Realm, I completely believe it.
You have a chance of winning.
But you don’t know that Elder Hua is not only connected to 85 stars in his body, but he is also a sixth-level Taoist holy alchemist, and he will definitely not be inferior to you in the study of soul skills."
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, he was a sixth-level Taoist Holy Alchemist, which meant that Elder Hua's soul level was also a sixth-level Taoist realm. In this aspect, Lin Chen couldn't take advantage of him at all.
As for the realm of cultivation, there are 85 stars connected in the body, which is more than twice as many as Lin Chen! Not to mention Lan Yanmei and Elder Yun, even Lin Chen already understood at this time that he probably had no chance of winning.
"How about it, do you still want to spar with Elder Hua now?"
Lan Yanmei smiled.
"want!"
Lin Chen's answer made Lan Yanmei, Elder Hua, and Elder Yun startled.
Lin Chen continued: "I want to compete with Elder Hua, not because I want to defeat him, but because I want to verify my current strength. It doesn't matter who wins and who loses."
"I see."
Elder Hua nodded, "In that case, I will compete with you, Elder Lin.
However, since it is a competition, no matter whether the goal is to win or lose, it will inevitably end in victory or defeat.
Let's just leave it like this, Elder Lin, if you can hurt me, even if you just scratch my clothes, I will lose this battle."
He smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm letting you go, it's just that I don't want to take advantage of you.
After all, I have practiced for tens of thousands of years more than you, so even if I set this rule, I still take advantage of you."
"Okay! Thank you very much, Elder Hua, for giving in."
Lin Chen nodded and agreed. Although he knew that Elder Hua did not do this to despise him, he was still aroused with a fighting spirit. He could not defeat the opponent. Is it possible that he could not even injure the opponent?
"Elder Hua, please!"
Whoa! The Xuanyuan Spear flew out from Lin Chen's space ring and was caught in his hand, and he flew high into the sky.
Elder Hua smiled faintly and followed closely.
Elder Yun frowned and looked at Elder Hua and Lin Chen who were flying into the sky, and said: "Elder Hua, what does this mean? Why should we set such a rule?
It was impossible for Elder Lin to hurt him. Maybe the outcome would be the same regardless of the rules.
Why do I feel that he did this as if he was deliberately trying to hit Elder Lin?"
Lan Yanmei chuckled and said: "You really guessed it right, Elder Hua did it on purpose."
"Uh...what do you mean?"
Elder Yun was stunned. Could it be that Elder Lin wanted to fight Elder Hua, and Elder Hua felt provoked, so he wanted to attack the other party?
That's not right! Elder Hua is not such a petty person.
Lan Yanmei said lightly: "Don't you think that Elder Lin's growth process has been too smooth and his strength has improved too fast?"
"I see!"
Elder Yun's eyes lit up, "Elder Hua wants to take this opportunity to frustrate Elder Lin's spirit, lest his strength improves too quickly, leading to impatience and overestimation of himself?"
Lan Yanmei looked at Lin Chen, who was already standing high in the sky, confronting Elder Hua, and said, "Elder Hua also worked hard.
I just hope that Elder Lin won’t be hit too hard if he waits for a while. If he is hit so hard, it will have the opposite effect.”
