Chapter 479: Chapter 473: High-Level Quasi-Saint [Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets]_1

His physical body had made a breakthrough. Now, only his cultivation level awaited the same. Even so, his cultivation and strength were already incredibly formidable, reaching an almost unbelievable extent. With his current combat power, he was essentially invincible among those of the same realm. Moreover, Sha Chen was confident that if he were to face the situation with Tathagata again, he could repel Tathagata with his own strength; after all, his power hadn’t increased by just a small margin.

After Sha Chen’s breakthrough in strength, Red Boy and the others rushed over, each brimming with excitement. They were overjoyed and cheered happily for Sha Chen.

Red Boy said, "Uncle, congratulations, your physical body has advanced further. I’m afraid there’s no one under the heavens who can match you now."

Sha Chen replied indifferently, "It’s not that simple. It’s just my physical body getting stronger. Although I can be unbeatable in the High-Level Quasi-Saint realm, that has never been my goal."

Lady Di Yong quickly nodded and said, "Yes, Master has world-ordering talent and extraordinary abilities. With just a bit more effort, you can be unmatched in the world."

Sha Chen immediately corrected her, "Don’t say that. It still requires a lot of effort."

Lady Di Yong instantly turned into a fangirl, hugging Sha Chen’s arm and shaking it repeatedly as she said, "Master, you’re amazing! Even though you’re already so excellent, you still work so hard. What are Red Boy and these other fools supposed to do?"

While everyone else was flattering him, Lady Di Yong also managed to belittle them.

Especially Red Boy, who glared and said, "Rat Demon, are you asking for death?"

It looked like a fight was about to break out, but Lady Di Yong was not afraid of Red Boy here; in fact, she was even a bit arrogant. She huffed, "Master, look at Red Boy being so disrespectful, daring to speak to me like that! Doesn’t he know that I’m Master’s favorite?"

Red Boy, furious beyond words, was about to pounce.

Visibly frightened, Lady Di Yong sought refuge behind Sha Chen, and Sha Chen stepped in to stop Red Boy. He said calmly, "Enough, stop it. Seeing how you all are, your cultivation levels must have broken through. If so, then it’s time for you to leave."

The group was suddenly struck with shock and dismay.

Lady Di Yong was very reluctant and said, "Master, just let them leave. I can’t bear to part with you. I haven’t had the chance to serve you since I came back, and now I have to leave already. It feels like such a transgression."

Sha Chen said indifferently, "You just want to freeload. Stop thinking about it; it’s not going to happen. Your cultivation has reached High-order Da Luo, and you already have the power to defend yourself. Plus, with the Dao Techniques I have taught you, you’re more than capable of holding your own among your peers."

Lady Di Yong pouted, clearly still not wanting to leave. She had only just returned, and Sha Chen was already trying to send her away; how could she be content? The others felt much the same.

The Spider Spirit sisters immediately rushed to Sha Chen, hugging his arms and acting coquettishly. "Elder Brother, we only just came back! We haven’t even had a chance to serve you. If we leave now, it would be unbearable for us!"

"Elder Brother, let us stay a few more years. Otherwise, we’ll feel restless and anxious."

"Actually, we’re still pretty weak. We’re only High-order Da Luo. We should at least reach Pinnacle Daluo before venturing out. Only then will we have the power to protect ourselves."

At first, Sha Chen did hope they would cultivate to Pinnacle Daluo before letting them go. However, given their talents and abilities, reaching Pinnacle Daluo would demand a substantial amount of time, energy, and resources. They were already out of resources; for the past ten years, they had been consuming Sha Chen’s, and he clearly did not want to continue supporting them. He could barely support himself, let alone them; it was impossible.

But he couldn’t hold out against their collective pleading. After all, they had experienced the sweet benefits, and staying here allowed them to greatly elevate their realms. This was preferable to hundreds of years of desperate struggle in the outside world, so naturally, they wanted to stay. Even without gifts of resources from Sha Chen, listening to his teachings, occasionally eating some ginseng fruit and Immortal Peaches, or drinking some immortal wine, was tremendously beneficial to them. Furthermore, Sha Chen sometimes taught them Dao Techniques and Divine Powers, which were unattainable even with desperate struggles in the outside world.

In short, staying here offered many benefits, while going out meant endless toil.

Red Boy did want to go out; after all, he had reached Pinnacle Daluo, his strength immensely powerful, enough to traverse heaven and earth. He wanted to go out and show off. However, he also didn’t want to fall behind. If the Spider Spirits, Lady Di Yong, and the others were to stay, they would catch up to him if he left. Especially since he had become quite friendly with the Black Bear Demon; if the Black Bear Demon also stayed and secretly grew stronger, he would inevitably be overtaken while he was out enjoying himself. He couldn’t bear the thought of those he once looked down upon surpassing him one day.

Sure enough, the Black Bear Demon said, "Master, my strength is still mediocre, and my cultivation is inadequate. I’m willing to serve by your side until my cultivation is sufficient, then go out and conquer the world for you."

Red Boy could only say, "Uncle, although my cultivation is the strongest, I haven’t reached the Quasi-Saint level yet. There are many powerful beings outside, and Zhao Gongming has also been looking for trouble with me. If I go out directly, I’m afraid I’ll fall into his clutches."

Sha Chen, pestered relentlessly and left with no other choice, said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll lecture on the Dao for another one or two years. During this time, you should all contemplate it thoroughly while memorizing the Dao Techniques. Then, once you go out, you can experience life-and-death trials and comprehend the Dao Techniques."

Though it was only a reprieve of one or two years, it was better than being driven out directly. Red Boy, the Black Bear Demon, and the others immediately erupted in cheers, all incredibly excited. The Spider Spirits and Lady Di Yong were also very excited; they rushed forward, eagerly throwing themselves at Sha Chen and hanging off him.

Sha Chen then began to lecture them on the Dao. This time, as he lectured, he himself was also in contemplation. In fact, with each lecture, Sha Chen gained new realizations and insights. So he was also willing to lecture others; it was not just out of generosity, but because it was beneficial for him as well.

During this lecture, a year passed. Sha Chen actually felt his internal cultivation improve, and his comprehension of the Dao Techniques deepened even further.

Finally, after another half a year, Sha Chen stopped lecturing.

Red Boy and the others were engrossed, completely captivated, when Sha Chen halted the lecture, leaving them feeling quite frustrated. They all looked at Sha Chen with puzzled faces, some frowning in confusion.

At that moment, Sha Chen paid them no mind and simply sat cross-legged, his aura gradually intensifying. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The Black Bear Demon looked on in astonishment and said, "No way, is Master about to break through again? It hasn’t been that long since his last breakthrough, right?"

Lady Di Yong and the Spider Spirits were also overjoyed, staring intently at Sha Chen’s imposing figure, their eyes hazy with adoration.

Red Boy was extremely shocked as well and held deep reverence and awe for Sha Chen.

As if to confirm their speculations, Sha Chen’s aura indeed kept rising, becoming stronger. His aura intensified, his mana increased.

In less than three days, Sha Chen’s cultivation had stepped into the High-rank Quasi Saint Realm.

By now, he had exhausted all the accumulated resources within his abode. Only the Immortal Elixirs and Elixirs he had personally planted remained; he had consumed all the others.

However, Sha Chen’s cultivation had broken through.

Congratulations, Host, on your cultivation breakthrough. You have the following choices.
