"Senior, are you sure you're not mistaken? I really passed?
But I clearly..." Lin Chen tried his best, but still couldn't break through the opponent's defense. He thought he had failed, and felt a little frustrated. The words of Lord Ji Yan made him dumbfounded, surprised, and confused.
Condition.
Why did the other party say that he passed the assessment when he clearly didn't defeat him?
Venerable Jiyan said: "Do you think you have to defeat me to pass the test?"
"Isn't it—" Lin Chen couldn't help but be startled as he recalled what Venerable Ji Yan had said before. The other party had said before that the final test would be to fight him, but he did not say that he had to be defeated to pass the test.
Naturally, he thought that if he wanted to pass the test, he must defeat the other party! "You don't need to defeat me. As long as you can stand in front of me for a quarter of an hour without losing, you will have passed the test."
Your performance was even better than I expected, and by the end of the day, I had nothing to do with you other than just defending."
Venerable Ji Yan had a smile on his face.
Lin Chen was overjoyed, and at the same time secretly complained that this senior had deliberately half-said what he said earlier, and it was clear that he deliberately wanted to misunderstand him.
But it's understandable.
If I hadn't thought that I had to defeat the opponent, I might not have used all my strength, or even used secret techniques. All I could think of was that I only needed to hold on for a quarter of an hour.
'However, this senior has taught me a lesson.
I had already looked down on existences of the same level before, thinking that although I was in the late stage of the Supreme Realm, only those at the peak of the Supreme Realm were qualified to be my opponent.
As everyone knows, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
There are countless monsters in this world, and there may not be those who are at the same level as me, but are stronger than me! For example, when I faced Venerable Ji Yan at the late stage of the Supreme Realm, I faced him, and he relied on his defensive methods to become invincible.
land.
Over time, you will definitely lose.
Although it is said that when it comes to real fighting, the means are not limited and he has many trump cards.
But if you have a trump card, don’t others?
No matter what, after today, even if you encounter beings of the same level, you must be careful! If something like a boat capsizes in the sewer happens once, your life will often be lost!" Lin Chen was secretly vigilant in his heart.
Venerable Ji Yan asked with a smile: "What is your relationship with that guy Xiahou Zhenyan?"
"Senior, do you know Senior Xiahou Zhenyan?"
Lin Chen was shocked, not only surprised that the other party actually knew Xiahou Zhenyan, but also surprised that the other party knew that he knew Xiahou Zhenyan?
Regarding the second question, he thought about it for a moment and soon understood that the problem should arise with the "Great Transformation of Heaven's Mighty Palm".
It must have been by virtue of this supreme magical skill that the other party judged that he knew Senior Xiahou Zhenyan.
"I do know him. He and I belong to the same force."
Venerable Jiyan nodded and gave a very concise answer.
The same force! Lin Chen was extremely curious and answered honestly: "Senior Xiahou Zhenyan and I have only met once, and our relationship is not close, but the 'Great Transformation Heavenly Power Palm' was given to me by him.
To me, he is like a benefactor!"
Venerable Ji Yan smiled and said: "Then you have received many benefits from me, wouldn't I also become your benefactor?"
"Of course."
Lin Chen nodded and said sternly, "If there is anything I need to do for you in the future, senior just ask me!"
Although I don't know the specific strength of Venerable Jiyan, he is definitely far stronger than me. In addition, he and Xiahou Zhenyan belong to the same force, so that force must not be simple, which means that his background is not simple.
Lin Chen didn't mind hugging the other person's thigh at all. He guessed that there was nothing he needed to do for him, but he wanted to leave a good impression. If something happened to his junior in the future, maybe they would help him?
Venerable Jiyan smiled and did not answer.
Lin Chen asked curiously: "Junior, can I ask, senior, what kind of forces do you and senior Xiahou Zhenyan belong to?"
"cannot."
Lord Jiyan shook his head simply, and seeing Lin Chen's disappointed look on his face, he smiled and said, "You are too weak, it's useless even if you know.
If you can become a Venerable in the future, by then, even if you don't want to know, someone will come to you and tell you the name of this force.
At that time, you can’t escape even if you want to!”
If you become a Venerable, someone will come to you and tell you the name of that force?
Lin Chen felt that these words seemed familiar, as if he had heard similar words somewhere before.
It seems that when I asked Senior Shang Yan about his origins, he had said similar words to me?
Could it be that Senior Zhen Yan, Venerable Ji Yan and Senior Shang Yan are from the same force?
Why would that force come looking for me after I became a Venerable?
What is the realm of the Venerable, above the Supreme Realm?
Questions appeared in Lin Chen's mind.
Without Shang Yan's consent, he did not plan to tell anyone about Shang Yan, so he asked another question in his heart: "Senior, what is the realm of the venerable?
A realm above the supreme realm?”
"no."
"Uh..." Lin Chen was stunned. It's not a realm above the Supreme Realm. Is it still a realm below the Supreme Realm?
The problem is that under the Supreme Realm, there is no realm called the Venerable! Seeing Lin Chen’s puzzled face, Venerable Ji Yan did not explain and said: “Okay, it’s your turn to know. One day you will
Know.
You are not supposed to know, even if you know, it will be of no use.
Let’s talk about what kind of reward you want.”
"Alchemy!"
Lin Chen had already made up his mind and answered immediately.
"Are you still an alchemist?"
When Venerable Ji Yan saw Lin Chen nodding, the smile on his face became even brighter, like an elder who was very pleased to see the rising star in the family.
"Hopefully, we will have another day to meet again!"
Venerable Ji Yan said with a smile, and immediately the space in all directions shattered.
Lin Chen's vision went dark and he found himself standing in the main hall, looking up at the statue of Lord Jiyan in front of him. It was obvious that he had returned to reality from the illusion.
"Senior -" Lin Chen looked around anxiously, but did not see the figure of Lord Ji Yan.
The old man Jin Yun standing next to him smiled and said: "Master has been away for many years, and what you see is just an illusion caused by the combination of the residual soul he left here and the formation. No matter what,
Even if you look for him, it's impossible to find him.
Are you so reluctant to let him disappear?"
Lin Chen said anxiously: "It's not that I don't want him to disappear, the key is that he hasn't given me a reward yet!"
