Chapter 707

Leaving Shui Wuhen’s residence, Long Chen was filled with antic.i.p.ation . If Shui Wuhen could reach Foundation Forging, he would truly have found a reliable backer for himself .

Shui Wuhen had at first been confused upon seeing Long Chen bringing her a medicinal pill and liquid . Long Chen directly explained that they were special medicine he had refined just for her . Although she found this odd as she didn’t know much about alchemy, she still consumed them due to her trust in Long Chen .

As soon as she did, her expression became one of wild delight . She immediately felt her mental state enter a state of emptiness, and her perception of the Heavenly Daos gradually grew clearer .

The greatest gain was that she actually felt her bottleneck weaken slightly . She was far too familiar with that feeling . She had felt that three times in the past; unfortunately, she had never been able to grab hold of that opportunity .

Now, without Long Chen’s reminder, she immediately knew what to do . She focused on entering a perfect meditative state to take advantage of this opportunity .

For Sea Expansion experts, advancing to Foundation Forging wasn’t as simple as just attacking the barrier .

Shui Wuhen had already been at the late Sea Expansion realm for almost five hundred years . She had tried attacking Foundation Forging three times, but she had failed .

Trying to reach Foundation Forging through force was useless . It relied on grabbing hold of a certain kind of opportunity that the Heavenly Daos bestowed on you . When a person’s mind entered a state of complete calm, it would be easier to grasp that opportunity .

But the world was filled with countless worries . No one was truly able to keep their mind and heart in a perfect state of calm with no distracting thoughts .

After failing three times, Shui Wuhen had already become a bit dejected . She hadn’t managed to feel this kind of opportunity in the last three hundred years . She had already accepted that she would never be able to reach Foundation Forging .

Now Long Chen had given her another chance . Furthermore, her comprehension of the Heavenly Daos had never been this clear before . She would go all-out in her attempt to seize this opportunity and forge an immortal platform .

Foundation Forging referred to creating a platform on top of the expanded sea . This platform was sometimes called the immortal platform . It was also sometimes called the Dao platform . It was the foundation for your chance of ever becoming an immortal or G.o.d .

It could be said that only once you reached Foundation Forging were you a true cultivator . As for those so-called immortals and G.o.ds, they were just a legend . But it was true that once you reached Foundation Forging, your lifespan would extend a great deal .

Sea Expansion experts had a lifespan of around fifteen hundred years . However, Shui Wuhen would only have a lifespan of twelve hundred years .

That was because most women, especially beautiful women, would train in a kind of secret art . At the price of reducing their lifespan, they could maintain their youthful appearance .

That was also why there were many old men in Sea Expansion but not many old women .

But once you reached Foundation Forging and created your immortal platform, you would be able to absorb the exceedingly thin immortal qi in the air . Then your lifespan would increase to five thousand years, and your youthful looks would be restored .

Long Chen was only able to help out this much . The rest would be up to Shui Wuhen . According to reason, she should have a good chance .

When Long Chen returned, he saw Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er holding hands and quietly whispering about something . He didn’t know what they were saying, but when they saw him, they immediately turned red and shut their mouths .

“To talk badly about someone behind their back, each person is punished with one kiss . ”

Long Chen suddenly swooped down and gave Meng Qi and Tang Wan-er a kiss each . The two of them released a tempest of fists against him .

He laughed and rushed off to his private training room . The trial was about to start, and he had to take advantage of this time to increase his strength .

Out of the Four Heavenly Geniuses, he had run into two . That bear had already become enemies with him . Thus, there would definitely be someone to play with in the trial .

Shui Wuhen had told him that he was an earth attribute expert . If he summoned the Cry of the Heavenly Daos, then whether it was heaven or earth, endless energy would become his to use .

He was different from a fake like Huo Wufang . He was a true rank two Celestial, and the two of them were as different as heaven and earth . Although Long Chen wasn’t afraid of him, if he was speaking frankly, his chances of winning weren’t high .

As for Zhong Wuyan, she was clearly no kindhearted woman . As soon as she opened her mouth, it was like she wanted to take a bite out of someone . Furthermore, Long Chen felt she was too arrogant . She liked to look down her nose on people . That was something that he didn’t like . Although she wouldn’t necessarily be an enemy, the chances of them becoming allies were essentially zero .

As for the other two, he doubted they would be well-disposed toward him, especially that Water Pipe . He would very likely make things hard for him in the trial .

According to Shui Wuhen, this trial was extremely beneficial . So many people would be going all-out for this trial . It was because Long Chen knew this trial was so important that he trusted that Zhao Wuji would definitely tidy all the bricks so he could partic.i.p.ate .
