Chapter 2012: Heart’s Desire
Chapter 2012: Heart’s Desire
Next, Su Chen identified several key focuses: star energy, "Breaking Falsehood," the path of inscriptions, and the "Conceal Blood Technique."
Of course, other aspects can’t be neglected either.
More importantly, he needs to spend time with the women around him; each time he leaves in such a hurry, he feels uneasy, but there’s nothing he can do.
Actually, the fact that he can return periodically is already quite satisfying for the women.
Falling in love with a man like him, many things are destined.
For example, he’ll have many women by his side, and he’s unable to always be with them.
Twenty days later, Su Chen had collected nearly two hundred million strands of Stellar Power, and he mastered the Sixth Level of inscriptions completely, beginning to study the Seventh Level.
Additionally, he fully mastered the Conceal Blood Technique, and although "Breaking Falsehood" hadn’t been completely overcome, he was close!
He estimated it wouldn’t take long to fully comprehend it!
Now, with about a month to go until the date agreed with An Ruyan, plus the travel time needed, he can only stay here for a little over twenty more days.
Shi Ruoxuan is enjoying her stay here and seems to have no plans to leave.
Both Leng Ning and her are getting along well with the other women, almost like sisters.
Practicing cultivation here, chatting, and shopping, it’s all quite enjoyable.
Leng Ning’s long-standing cold demeanor has significantly altered; now, you can often see a smile on her face.
Of course, the two have also gained deeper insight into what kind of person Su Chen is!
He’s completely a rascal!
For instance, while they chat, this guy frequently wedges himself in.
Not to join the conversation but purely to take advantage.
There were a few occasions where Shi Ruoxuan fell victim to this guy’s mischievous hands!
Yet this guy feigns innocence!
Compared to the constant teasing the women endure, Su Chen couldn’t be more carefree.
If not for a few entanglements, he would be willing to stay here long-term, living a fairy-like life.
But inevitably, such days don’t belong to him!
Finally, the time for parting arrived; during this period, Su Chen stored nearly three hundred million strands of Stellar Power, and grasped the Seventh Level of inscriptions more profoundly.
He had fully comprehended "Breaking Falsehood," having tested it once in an uninhabited area outside the city alongside the "Thousand Hand Seal," which he had previously broken through!
The strongest move of the "Thousand Hand Seal" could already reach the Ninth Turn of the Creation Realm.
"Breaking Falsehood" is even scarier; a single punch nearly compares to the Third Turn of the Pure Origin Realm!
Of course, this was Zi Mei’s insight.
After the Creation Realm comes the Pure Origin Realm; he hasn’t yet encountered martial artists of the Pure Origin Realm level!
This was merely him using "Breaking Falsehood" alone, but if you add bloodline power and Divine Bone power, it’s unimaginable!
The Divine Bone is unique; whether it’s cultivation or enhancing physical strength, it stimulates even more of its power!
Additionally, during these days, while self-cultivation wasn’t a priority, he still experienced some progress, advancing from the Eighth Turn to the Ninth Turn peak of the Minor Supreme Realm, estimating it won’t be long before breaking through!
Hence, going forward, where he needs to spend time and energy becomes quite simple.
One goal is to first break through the major realm of the Great Supreme Realm, and the other is to further elevate spiritual power.
Besides, he can research the Third Move of the Dayan Sword Technique!
And, he could spend a bit more time on the forbidden technique from the "Laws Forbidden Tome."
On this day, after saying goodbye to the women and Ouyang Jing and He Qishan, he rode that First Turn demon beast of the Creation Realm towards the direction of the Ancient Dynasty.
Of course, he had informed Li Changting of this a few days prior.
Now, within the Eastern Continent, he felt at ease, having no major concerns.
.....
During the journey, Su Chen gazed at the scenery below with deep emotions.
Unknowingly, he’s been on Yunxiao Continent for over a year; his strength has increased by countless times, yet none of the real tasks have been completed.
For instance, unraveling the mystery of his origins, understanding who exactly his old ghost is, and what events led him to the Earth plane back then.
Additionally, the news of the Spring of Life, although he’s headed to the Cangxuan Territory primarily for this, the outcome remains unknown, and he hasn’t even confirmed the genuineness of the Spring of Life.
Not only has he not resolved what he wanted to do, but during the teleportation formation, he misplaced the manor’s residents, having only found Du Hanbing and a few others so far, with many still unaccounted for.
Thinking about it, he let out a long sigh.
Even though he knows these matters are beyond his control and he’s done his best, he can’t help but feel a bit disheartened.
However, he is not a pessimist; after feeling low for a while, he looked towards the sky:
"Eventually, he’ll uncover all of these mysteries, and he will bring back everyone from the manor, leaving no one behind!"
Facing gods, cut down gods; facing Buddhas, eradicate Buddhas!
What the heart wishes, even seas of blood won’t deter!
.....
A few days later, he finally reached An Ruyan’s place.
"You’re quite punctual!"
An Ruyan remarked with a smile.
"When shall we set out?"
Su Chen asked.
"Anytime."
An Ruyan glanced at Su Chen as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately understood; An Ruyan had been waiting for him all along, and he couldn’t help but feel a touch of emotion in his heart.
"In that case, let’s go now."
Su Chen was also eager.
On one hand, there’s the news of the Spring of Life, and on the other, he wishes to see the different world described by the Pavilion Master of Siting Pavilion.
Even though Su Chen enjoys the gentle days, as a martial artist, he naturally maintains a heart of a strong one.
An Ruyan, of course, had no objections; after a brief instruction, they both boarded the flying beast and left.
Different from before, An Ruyan wasn’t wearing a veil this time out; according to her, many people know her within the Cangxuan Territory, so there’s no need.
.....
About ten days later, they were near the border between the Eastern Continent and the Cangxuan Territory.
Along the way, the two chatted casually, making the time feel less lengthy.
An Ruyan, spending so much time alone with Su Chen for the first time—or rather, spending so much time alone with a young man—found him quite interesting, discovering many of his other sides.
"By the way, Ruyan, tell me about the Cangxuan Territory."
Su Chen suddenly requested.
After all, they’re about to enter, so naturally, it’s a good idea to learn more about it.
