Facing Lin Feng's confusion.
Zhen Yuan Da Xian bitterly offered his answer.
"Little friend must be wondering why my cultivation is only Quasi-Saint, right?"
Lin Feng nodded.
To be honest, he did have such a question.
Regardless of how other literary works or film and television works define it.
This was, after all, in a game.
Whether it was the fame of his Wuzhuang Guan, or the miraculous effects of the Ginseng Fruit.
Even the meditation cushion in his room.
Lin Feng had thought that the other party would at least be at the Saint level.
Although a mythical-level Quasi-Saint was not bad.
Compared to the other party's reputation, it seemed insignificant.
Zhen Yuan Da Xian waved his large hand.
The surrounding environment instantly changed, and the place where the two stood also became different.
Zhen Yuan Da Xian sighed.
"What I'm about to say, it will be of no use if they hear it. I hope little friend understands."
Lin Feng became interested.
"Immortal, please speak freely!"
It seemed that this quest was going to be difficult.
As Zhen Yuan Da Xian slowly narrated, Lin Feng's expression kept changing.
Sometimes amazed, sometimes shocked.
Until the final moment of calm.
Everything Zhen Yuan Da Xian had said was simply the greatest secret in the game.
And one that would affect reality in the future!
Even in his previous life, during the time when the inhabitants of the Water Blue Star suffered and were destroyed,
No one had known the truth!
It turned out that Zhen Yuan Da Xian was not incapable of ascending to Sainthood.
But that he had deliberately chosen not to.
And the reason he did this.
Was for a higher pursuit.
According to him.
Everyone in this world was subject to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.
And the current state of the Heavenly Dao was influenced by the highest-ranking Saints.
If he were to ascend, he would be subject to these individuals.
And these individuals had always been at odds with him.
And had always been wary of him.
Even if he ascended to Sainthood.
Even a mythical-level Saint.
To pursue a higher realm and seek transcendence would be absolutely impossible.
It would be better to remain at the Quasi-Saint realm and wait for an opportunity.
And what he entrusted Lin Feng with.
Was to help him break free from his shackles and find that sliver of possibility for transcendence.
The more Lin Feng listened, the more his heart sank.
There was such a theory!
Fortunately, although he had improved rapidly in this life, he had also refrained from upgrading for greater benefits.
Otherwise, at his current pace, if he had leveled up freely, he would already have ascended to the Saint level.
But according to Zhen Yuan Da Xian, even the most powerful Saints were limited.
In that case, it was not what Lin Feng pursued.
"What should I do?"
Lin Feng asked directly after listening.
Zhen Yuan Da Xian took a deep breath, a little excited.
He pointed to the sky above the secret realm.
"There is a natural shackle here."
"Although it restricts my actions, it also isolates me from the Heavenly Dao's control."
"And after much research, I have used a formation to link this shackle with the constraints of this world's Heavenly Dao, establishing a karmic connection."
"Little friend, you only need to break this shackle, and you will be able to rescue me."
"And at the same time, it will sever the Heavenly Dao's restraint on me!"
Lin Feng asked suspiciously.
"Is it that simple?"
"You could have broken the shackle yourself."
Zhen Yuan Da Xian smiled bitterly.
"That's how it was originally. I could control the shackle and leave at any time."
"But ever since I became entangled with the Heavenly Dao, the shackle's power has increased greatly, far beyond what my strength can break."
Lin Feng pondered.
"Then you could also ask your powerful friends to help break it."
Zhen Yuan Da Xian shook his head. Read books.
"Little friend, you don't know, but the current shackle involves immense karma. People from this world cannot break it. Only an outsider like you can."
Lin Feng was a little curious.
"Is this shackle very powerful? How can you be sure I can break it?"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian opened his heart and continued to speak.
"The power of this shackle varies from person to person. The stronger the person who breaks it, the stronger its power."
"At the same time, the higher the rank of the Heavenly Dao restraint that is severed afterward."
"If an ordinary outsider breaks it, it can only affect the Heavenly Dao restraint of the highest-level Da Luo Golden Immortal, which is useless to me."
"Only someone like you, who can sever the Heavenly Dao restraint of a Legendary-level or even a Mythical-level Saint, can give me a sliver of hope to escape this world!"
Lin Feng suddenly understood and snapped his fingers.
"Understood!"
"Where is the shackle?"
He paused.
"And where is the reward?"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's expression was solemn, and he was about to clasp his hands and move.
Upon hearing the latter sentence, his expression faltered.
"What kind of reward does little friend desire?"
Lin Feng pondered for a moment. "The Ginseng Fruit sounds good."
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's expression relaxed.
"There's plenty of that. How about a hundred of them for little friend?"
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.
"From the tree?"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian was stunned.
"If it's from the tree, then it can only be five."
Both of them knew very well.
What Zhan Shen Ba Dao and the others had obtained were ordinary treasures that could be mass-produced.
But what grew on the Ginseng Fruit Tree in Wuzhuang Guan was a chaotic divine object, one less each time it was taken.
Naturally, they could not be compared.
Lin Feng shook his head.
"Five is too few. At least thirty!"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian swayed. He suppressed his anger.
"My fruit tree only has thirty in total!"
"Ten, no more!"
Lin Feng's face sank.
"No room for negotiation?"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian hesitated.
Seeing this, Lin Feng thought there was hope and continued to persuade him.
"I can fully release my strength, guaranteeing that the chain will be at least of the Mythical-level Saint tier!"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's eyes lit up.
After thinking for a moment.
"Fine!"
"If I can truly break free from the Heavenly Dao's restraint, what do external things matter."
"Can you leave two for my disciple, and the rest for little friend?"
Lin Feng was taken aback.
"You and your disciple are indeed deeply affectionate."
"When I arrived, the two little ones were quite worried about you."
"Alright, leave two for you, and the rest as compensation for my rescue."
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's face showed gratitude, and then he perked up.
"I will now release the shackle. Little friend, please exert your full effort!"
Lin Feng nodded.
"I will do my best!"
Just as Zhen Yuan Da Xian completely released his aura.
Thick chains intertwined appeared in the sky.
Just by looking at them, one could feel the profound aura emanating from them.
And the direction of these chains was indeed connected to Zhen Yuan Da Xian.
At Zhen Yuan Da Xian's wave of his hand.
These chains seemed to have received a command and.
All moved towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiled slightly, completely fearless.
Instead, his fighting spirit soared.
"Excellent!"
Zheng!
Countless sword energies emanated from him.
Four ancient swords suddenly appeared behind his head.
"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!"
Zhen Yuan Da Xian exclaimed in shock.
He did not expect Lin Feng to wield such a precious treasure.
It seemed that the Heavenly Dao restraint that could be severed this time would definitely not be low.
He rejoiced inwardly.
But as the four Immortal Slaying Swords shone brightly and their power gradually increased.
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's surprise turned into horror.
"What rank is this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?"
"Its power completely surpasses innate spiritual treasures, and even innate supreme treasures?"
"Could it be?"
His gaze towards Lin Feng became incredulous.
Even if an outsider's strength was immense, how could they possess such a divine object?
Could it be that.
The one he had unexpectedly formed a connection with was actually an existence with the potential for transcendence?
And as he was lost in thought.
The chains moving towards Lin Feng all paused.
As if intimidated by the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
And in the next second.
These chains also instantly changed.
One.
Two.
Three.
...
Ten.
A hundred.
A thousand!
New chains appeared out of thin air.
Greatly increasing the number of original chains.
And the luster on them also changed.
During this change process.
The chains, which were originally suppressed by the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, also shone brightly, and their aura surged.
In just a few seconds.
The newly formed chains' power greatly increased, forcing even Zhen Yuan Da Xian to retreat several steps.
His voice carried a trace of fear.
"This is... the aura of a Heavenly Dao Saint!"
His face was filled with despair, and he muttered to himself.
"It's over!"
This was a Heavenly Dao Saint!
Even if it was less than one percent of their aura.
That trace of incomplete Heavenly Dao power was incredibly powerful and profound.
Even if it was not released by a Heavenly Dao-level existence itself.
It was still millions of miles away from its source.
But this was, after all, power beyond the Primordial Violet Qi.
When added to these chains, it exceeded the full power of a mythical-level Saint.
This little friend, although his strength was extraordinary, how could he possibly deal with such an existence?
Although.
Severing a chain of this level would allow him to completely break free from the constraints of this world, according to his plan.
And truly become a free and unrestrained immortal.
But where could such a good thing exist in the world?
No matter how strong Lin Feng was, even if the Immortal Slaying Four Swords in his hand were stronger than innate supreme treasures, it was unlikely he could deal with this trace of a Heavenly Dao Saint's aura!
Zhen Yuan Da Xian's face was filled with regret.
It was me, I have harmed little friend!
And just as he gritted his teeth, deciding to sacrifice himself to help Lin Feng block this blow.
To preserve the life of this little friend with whom he felt a connection.
He saw Lin Feng wave his hand.
"Immortal, do not act rashly."
"Helping you escape your predicament is happening now!"
As Lin Feng's words fell.
A sword energy that made Zhen Yuan Da Xian's entire body turn cold, almost freezing him, erupted with a 'peng' sound.
Towards the chains whose aura had risen to their peak.
It slashed down fiercely!

Thanks to Hao Jie, who likes baboons, for the like.
Thanks to friends for the balance of flower offerings.
