Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3078 - 3098: My Wife Became a Quasi-Saint?

Bai Jingtian didn’t turn around; his fist clenched tighter by two degrees within his sleeve.

"Good!"

With his deep voice, the bag containing Bai Manmei’s hair soared upward, spontaneously combusting without wind, and instantly turned to ashes.

Bai Manmei knelt to the ground, kowtowing three times: "Foster father, take care!"

Bai Jingtian didn’t speak, merely waving his hand gently.

Without lingering further, Bai Manmei turned and left, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Only then did Bai Jingtian turn around, gazing at the horizon, he sighed silently, then with a wave of his hand, several Array Plates flew over from afar, and the stars in the sky suddenly extinguished, vanishing without a trace.

Bai Jingtian retrieved the Array Plates and took one last look in the direction where Bai Manmei had disappeared, then turned and vanished as well.

...

Among the towering mountains, Lin Chen awaited the return of Zhen Liuxue.

"Senior, you’ve had a hard time running this errand. Was that guy’s face an interesting sight?"

"Quite interesting."

With a smile, Zhen Liuxue said, "I’ve laid down the gauntlet for you. If you don’t beat him half to death and make him lie in bed for thousands of years, it would really be hard to justify."

Lin Chen replied grinningly, "Consider it done! We toiled hard, and he plays the opportunistic bystander; it won’t be that easy. And he even killed my Avatar. I’ll take note of this grudge first; I’ll settle accounts with him later, one way or another."

Zhen Liuxue, with her beautiful eyes, sized up Lin Chen: "You are one cunning kid. How did you know something would go wrong?"

Lin Chen answered, "The Demon God Temple must have discovered Bai Manmei by now, and surely the Mercenary Association is aware as well. It’s likely that someone would seek out Bai Manmei, perhaps even scheme against her. So, why not give it a try? After all, it’s just an Avatar with minimal strength; it doesn’t take much Essence Blood."

Zhen Liuxue asked, "How do you plan to deal with Bai Manmei?"

Lin Chen shrugged indifferently, "From what I can tell, she indeed didn’t betray us, and even her foster father didn’t inform others. It was his personal action alone."

"Since she hasn’t betrayed us, I won’t take my anger out on her. I promised her freedom before, so after some time, I’ll let her go. Whatever she wants to do, wherever she wants to go."

Zhen Liuxue pursed her lips and chuckled, "She will definitely go to the Great Wilderness Palace."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If she wants to go, let her go. She’s a wanted fugitive now. Her contribution to Demon Saint Valley’s masterpiece involves us too. Our identity was already exposed in Baili Town. Even if she betrays us again, it’s useless. She is destined to stick to this path to the end, like us."

"Why not just kill her?"

Zhen Liuxue curled her lip, "I think you just find her pretty and can’t bring yourself to do it."

Lin Chen speechless, "I’ve killed plenty of pretty women, Senior. We have to be reasonable. Even though the Cultivation World promotes survival of the fittest, killing isn’t exactly a pleasing thing. If one can avoid killing, who would want to kill?"

Zhen Liuxue couldn’t help but chuckle, "Just teasing you. I know you’re principled. Let her go. She’s insignificant."

Teasing me?

Lin Chen looked at the smiling Zhen Liuxue and laughed lightly, "Senior, you’re in a good mood, even joking with me. It seems you’ve gained quite a lot recently."

"That’s true!"

Speaking of the Holy Taoism Ball, Zhen Liuxue’s eyes suddenly sparkled, "This Holy Taoism Ball is indeed a great thing. By contemplating the Heavenly Dao within it, I feel I have progressed another step."

"It’s not a clear increase in strength, but a progress in comprehension, a step closer to the Saint Realm..."

Lin Chen asked expectantly, "Is there a chance?"

"No chance!"

Zhen Liuxue threw cold water on Lin Chen’s hopes, "Although I have gained some insights, crossing into the Saint Realm is simply impossible. If it were that easy to become a Saint, the Demon Emperor would have trained countless Saints by now. And what the Demon Emperor can do, the Immortal Emperor can too; yet with all his efforts, all the Demon Emperor has is the Little Demon Emperor, who is anyway half-crippled..."

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile, "Alright, I was thinking too much."

Zhen Liuxue consoled with a beaming smile, "Although I can’t cross into the Saint Realm, your wife has made progress. She is poised to step into the threshold!"

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, "Jia Xue can break into the Quasi-Saint Realm?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded, "She was already half a step in, just missing the final push. Now, with the enlightenment from the Holy Taoism, it naturally benefits her greatly. For me, it was a significant step forward in comprehension, but for her, it translates to her current realm."

"Now she’s ready to Break the Realm at any time, but she wants to further solidify her foundation, so she continues to meditate. The moment she stops, will be the moment she becomes a Quasi-Saint."

Lin Chen opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Does that mean she’s about to undergo Tribulation?"

"No need for Tribulation!"

Zhen Liuxue explained, "Quasi-Saint is just a step up from the Peak Great Luo Begin Immortal, an ethereal layer, not an independent Great Realm. Once you step up, you step up; if you don’t, you don’t—and there’s no need to undergo another Breaking the Realm to face Heavenly Tribulation."

"Didn’t I also reach Half-step Quasi-Saint before? Later when my strength recovered, I became a true Quasi-Saint. Did you see me undergoing Heavenly Tribulation?"
