Chapter 1080: Visiting the Protector Clan
“Jian Chen, the failure isn’t important. Your talent is supreme, so you’ll reach Saint King sooner or later,” Huang Luan comforted. Her face was filled with concern. She seemed worried that Jian Chen’s failure would affect his state of mind.
Jian Chen smiled wryly inside when he heard her concern. Once he began his journey of the Way of the Sword, the sword spirits would forcefully purge his comprehension of the mysteries of the world. He would also lose all his abilities as a Saint Ruler. Right now, breaking through to Saint King was no longer important.
Afterward, Jian Chen and Huang Luan visited the grand elder Tian Jian as well as Tie Ta who always stayed there. They talked for a little before leaving Mercenary City. Jian Chen and Huang Luan returned to the Changyang clan in Lore City through a Space Gate created by Rui Jin.
It had been three whole years since Jian Chen had last visited the Changyang clan. During that period of time, nothing really changed about the clan—other than Jian Chen’s second brother, Changyang Ke.
After seeking Jian Chen’s assistance that night, Jian Chen had ordered an exclusive alchemist of Flame City to refine a ten-thousand-year heavenly resource into a pill and deliver it to the Changyang clan when he last visited Flame City. After ingesting the pill, Changyang Ke immediately underwent an overwhelming change. His ordinary talent was completely raised to the level of a genius; not only did his strength increase, his rate of cultivation also became extremely fast. He had become a Earth Saint Master now, and he was at the Third Cycle.
At night, Jian Chen and Huang Luan arrived in the fragrant garden behind the clan. Huang Luan had changed into a luxurious, snow-white dress in an attempt to dress like the young lady of a large clan. Any heroic spirits present on her had completely disappeared. She seemed more like a loving, considerate, and well-educated wife.
Huang Luan gently hugged Jian Chen’s arm. She leaned her head on Jian Chen’s shoulder as they slowly strolled through the garden. Her face was filled with happiness.
“Jian Chen, I want to go the sea realm to cultivate after some time. The water-attributed energy there is extremely dense, so it’s very suitable for my Water Spirit’s Body. I believe that if I cultivate there, the rate at which my strength will increase will not be slower than in Mercenary City,” Huang Luan looked at Jian Chen tenderly as she spoke. Her voice was gentle and pleasant.
Jian Chen obviously did not turn down Huang Luan’s suggestion. The Water Spirit’s Body was different from ordinary constitutions. The effects of cultivating in a place with rich water-attributed energy would indeed be impressive, allowing someone with that constitution to comprehend the mysteries of the world in greater detail.
“Luan’er, once I find a way to remove the seal in your head, I’ll take you to the sea realm. As for your cultivation method, I have indeed found the first version of the Scripture of the Aquatic Sunflower in the Space Ring of the Huanggu clan ancestor. However, it’s only an elementary Saint Tier cultivation method. Let me see if I can obtain a better Saint Tier cultivation method more suited for you from the sea goddess after I return to the sea realm. I think she knows quite a few as one of the four supreme experts from ancient times,” Jian Chen caringly said. Huang Luan had already become his woman both in name and in reality, so he needed to put all his effort into forging her future.
Huang Luan nodded obediently and sweetly smiled. She felt extremely moved with how much care Jian Chen was showing. At the same time, she felt extremely satisfied.
Jian Chen’s eyes suddenly froze at this moment. A delicate person in luxurious robes currently sat in a pavilion up ahead.
“Second aunt,” Jian Chen whispered inside. Although all he could see was her back, he could tell with a single glance that she was his second aunt who had loved him like his own son since he was young.
Jian Chen and Huang Luan hurried to the pavilion. Arriving before her, Jian Chen asked, “Aunt, it’s already so late; why are you sitting here all by yourself?”
Yu Fengyang sat in an utter daze. She seemed to have failed to notice Jian Chen at all, so the sudden voice immediately caused her to jump in fright. She looked back instinctively, and when she discovered Jian Chen, a forced smile appeared on her sorrow-ridden face. She said gently, “It’s Xiangtian.” Yu Fengyan seemed much more haggard than before, much different than the way she looked several years ago. Her gaze was filled with deep reminiscence.
Jian Chen felt rather horrible when he saw how Yu Fengyang had become. His second aunt had loved him very dearly when he was young; although he was not her child, she treated him like her own, which was why she had taken up an extremely important position in Jian Chen’s heart long ago.
“Aunt, are you alright? Have you begun thinking about sister again?” Jian Chen asked in concern. He had learned about what had happened to his eldest brother and sister long ago.
The accumulated longing and pain within Yu Fengyang gushed out uncontrollably when she heard Jian Chen mention Changyang Mingyue. She began to sob painfully as tears poured from her eyes like a fountain. She cried from her loneliness.
