According to Zhenwu Shengjun's plan, he intended for Lin Yun to break through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe, because this would allow Lin Yun to rapidly and significantly increase his strength.
In that way, even if there are greater dangers at the spatial node connecting this universe to the Netherworld, Lin Yun will be able to handle it.
In other words, if Lin Yun couldn't handle it, then he couldn't think of anyone else who could.
After all, Lin Yun's current achievements are comparable to those of Dao Ancestor Li Er thousands of years ago. He estimated that even if the reincarnation of Li Er's friend were to awaken, it might not be able to compare with Lin Yun's current achievements.
If the Sage of Langya and Li Chu's group were to break through the thirty-fourth heaven, then the difficulty for Lin Yun to break through to a new heaven would undoubtedly increase significantly, and it is very likely that Lin Yun would never have the chance to break through to a new heaven again.
His feeling was not without basis. As Master Li Er said, the last three heavens of every universe are the most difficult to break through, and the difficulty is many times greater than that of the fourth heaven from the bottom.
The final three heavens are many times more difficult than the last. These are the last three barriers protecting the universe, and they are extremely difficult to break through without extraordinary talent.
A universe with thirty-six heavens is considered quite powerful even by outside standards, and its requirements are extremely high.
Although Lin Yun's performance was also quite amazing, perhaps it was because he had witnessed the magnificence of Dao Ancestor Li Er and seen that even Dao Ancestor Li Er was helpless against the Thirty-Fourth Heaven.
Therefore, Zhenwu Saint Lord still held a sliver of hope that Lin Yun could break through the thirty-fourth heaven, but he really didn't have much confidence in whether Lin Yun could break through the thirty-fifth heaven.
Even if, in the end, it is the Sage of Langya and Li Chu's group who break through the thirty-fourth heaven and obtain the energy bestowed by heaven and earth, he is not very confident that the Sage of Langya and Li Chu's group can block the danger of this universe connecting with the Netherworld.
If the strength of the Sage of Langya increases significantly, there might be hope. However, as he just said, the Sage of Langya cannot stay in this universe for long. Once his strength increases further, the time he can stay in this universe will be even shorter.
Li Chu?
He genuinely didn't think it would work!
Currently, I am only at the second level of the Super Realm. Even if I break through to the Saint Realm soon, what level can I reach in such a short time?
Intermediate Saint? Superior Saint? Or perhaps Peak Saint?
Even if one reaches the pinnacle of sainthood, how long can one remain in this universe?
However, Lin Yun is different. Lin Yun's ability to fight beyond his level is extremely strong. He has already reached the strength of a middle-level Saint at only the second level of the Super Realm. Once he reaches the fourth level of the Super Realm, he will at least be a superior Saint, or even a peak Saint!
Once Lin Yun breaks through to the Saint Realm, his strength among Saints will be extremely terrifying. Even if he faces him, he wouldn't dare say he could easily defeat him again!
Only by entrusting this universe to someone like Lin Yun can he truly feel at ease!
The safety of this universe is extremely important. Not only is it due to the task entrusted to him by Dao Ancestor Li Er, which ensures that the safety of this universe cannot be compromised, but this universe is also his home universe, and he does not want anything to happen to it!
He knew about what Lin Yun had done on Earth, and he was completely at ease entrusting the safety of this universe to Lin Yun!
As for Li Chu, just as he said, he had watched the other party grow up and knew a lot about his personality. He was really worried about entrusting the safety of the universe to Li Chu.
"Langya, in principle, every life form in this universe has the right to break through to a new heaven and obtain the energy bestowed by heaven and earth. However, this is not conducive to the task entrusted to you by the Dao Ancestor. The method you used must have been passed down by the Dao Ancestor. But since the Dao Ancestor passed down this method, I can't stop you from using it. I don't want to hinder your future. If you want to lead people to break through to a new heaven, then break through to a new heaven. However, you cannot use the arrangements of the Immortal Origin Realm!" Zhenwu Saint Monarch took a deep breath and said slowly.
To allow many people to break through the new heavens together and obtain the energy bestowed by heaven and earth is a heaven-defying method that obscures the secrets of heaven. Naturally, it is not something that can be done so easily. The special arrangement left by the Dao Ancestor in the Immortal Origin Realm was also one of the important tools.
That was created from the vast resources accumulated by the Dao Ancestor when he publicly preached the Dao, teaching without discrimination, and all races paid homage and offered treasures. At that time, after setting up such an arrangement, the resources of the Immortal Origin Holy Land were not enough to set up another one.
It would be extremely difficult for the Sage of Langya to set up such an arrangement again. Moreover, the original arrangement was personally set up by the Dao Ancestor. Although many details were preserved, who knows if there will be any problems when they try to set it up again? Sometimes, what the Dao Ancestor can do, they may not be able to do.
"No, I absolutely must use the setup of the Immortal Origin Realm!" Saint Langya said, frowning.
He wasn't confident he could set up another one like the one in the Immortal Origin Realm, and by the time he finished setting it up, he didn't know when it would be finished, so he naturally had to use it.
"Langya, how weak we were back then. The Dao Ancestor brought us from weakness to the pinnacle of this universe. What a great favor! Are you determined to disobey the mission left by the Dao Ancestor?" Zhenwu Saint Monarch said in a low voice, looking disappointed.
"I naturally dare not disobey the task left by the Dao Ancestor. However, I am not at ease entrusting the Dao Ancestor's task to an outsider. After this matter, I will do my best to complete the task left by the Dao Ancestor. If I am still unable to complete it when I leave the universe, I will hand it over to Li Chu..." the Langya Saint said in a deep voice.
“Even if you are willing, you cannot do this. Putting aside the issue of time, I have just returned from the point where this universe connects with the Netherworld. The danger brought by this crisis makes my heart tremble. This danger is likely far beyond your imagination, and far beyond my imagination. Neither you nor Li Chu can withstand this crisis. Even if you really break through the thirty-fourth heaven and obtain the blessings of heaven and earth, it will not work. Only Lin Yun can…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"Heh, Lin Yun, Lin Yun, you trust an outsider so much, but you don't trust us, your own people?" The Sage of Langya said with a cold laugh.
“It’s not that I trust Lin Yun, but you should know Lin Yun’s talent and abilities…” Zhenwu Saint Monarch said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
He had known and interacted with the Sage of Langya for many years, and he had some understanding of the Sage of Langya. Given the Sage of Langya's temperament, his insistence on making Li Chu the one who broke through the new heavens and became a powerhouse below the Sage level, instead of making Lin Yun do it, was definitely not because Li Chu had a closer relationship with him.
Lin Yun has high talent and strength, so having him become a powerhouse below the Saint level would actually increase his chances of success.
However, precisely because of this, Lin Yun may ultimately receive far more of the energy bestowed by heaven and earth. Although it can be altered to some extent, Lin Yun's talent and strength are too extraordinary, making even the Sage of Langya wary and lacking confidence in how much he can change.
Therefore, the Sage of Langya gave up on his plan to involve Lin Yun in this scheme.
Therefore, the Sage of Langya was actually quite familiar with Lin Yun's talent and strength.
"Even if someone is talented and capable, it doesn't matter if they're not one of us. You should know one thing: the stronger a person is, the greater the harm they can cause if they do evil. With our strength, if we restrain our thoughts or change our spiritual aura, it would be difficult to sense their specific ideas, right? Who knows if everything Lin Yun is doing now is a disguise? Just as you said, his talent and abilities are very strong. If you leave this universe and he exposes his true nature, who can stop him?" The Sage of Langya said calmly.
"This is just your guess, but the dangers that may occur in this universe are very real. Do you really want to just watch this universe be destroyed?" Zhenwu Saint King said with slight anger.
"The dangers that may occur in this universe are just your guesses, and they may not actually happen... Moreover, the destruction of a universe is not such a simple matter. The Netherworld is connected to all other worlds, and there should be many restrictions on what the powerful beings of the Netherworld can do in this universe. Furthermore, as the saying goes, troubled times produce heroes. Perhaps this crisis will actually bring out the reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor's friend..." said the Sage of Langya slowly.
"Hehe...Are you doubting my feelings...or my thoughts..." Zhenwu Shengjun laughed angrily.
The Sage of Langya stared at the Sage of Zhenwu, then suddenly laughed and said, "Zhenwu, in truth, you're just talking without understanding the situation, or perhaps you're simply taking advantage of others' benefits while being generous at their expense..."
“I believe you are well aware of the immense benefits of breaking through a new heaven. I truly do not believe you are unmoved. However… when the Dao Ancestor led us to break through the new heaven, you received so much energy bestowed by heaven and earth that it became extremely difficult for you to participate in breaking through the new heaven again. That is why you so generously gave up, and even asked me to give up this matter as well!” The Sage of Langya said quietly.
"However, you have no chance to break through to the new heaven, but I do! If it weren't for Lin Yun's appearance, it would have been only a matter of time before Li Chu and I broke through the thirty-fourth heaven of this universe! And now, you're going to give up this benefit that rightfully belongs to me to someone else. How can I be willing to give up such a tremendous opportunity? If it were you, would you be willing? It's precisely because it's not your benefit that you're being so generous! You're taking my benefit and giving it to others to advance your own interests. Don't you think that's ridiculous!" The Sage of Langya laughed loudly.
"You...you actually think that way..." Zhenwu Saint King opened his mouth, and after a long time, he finally spoke.
