Chapter 46 (2/2)
The Lecture Hall only ever taught methods of cultivation, and their sect leader could never restrain him There had been no one to show the way for hi Qian's haughty heart e around blindly, baring your fangs and brandishi+ng your claws, are you a crab or so?” Wen Ya snapped, “What use does that flat-shelled creature have, other than being cooked as a side-dish for drinking?”
Cheng Qian couldn't help lowering his head further, but when Wen Ya spoke to this point, he sed audibly — this senior, who should have reached the stage of inedia, had so Qian, “…”
Wen Ya aze and i at, isn't it all because of you guys I can't even go ho Qian immediately lowered his head and said obediently, “Yes”
After a ain, “Senior, I can leave now, right?”
Wen Ya was stunned In thatQian's stubbornness Be it reaching a new level or having an epiphany, those were all trivial matters for this little whelp In his eyes, none of those things could cole hair on his ht face, “Those who tread the path of cultivation will experience thousands of trials and hundreds of tribulations Only through the lightning strikes from the heavens could one find a shred of opportunity Fronificant, while friendshi+ps for hardshi+ps could one find peace Your heart is filled with so hts, how could you ever find the Great Dao this way?”
Cheng Qian answered without hesitation, “If life was so er? Senior,Dao withlike you dares to talk… Alright, what is your master's Dao?”
In truth, Muchun Zhenren rarely talked about the Dao on purpose Cheng Qian had regretted his words the , but when Wen Ya prodded at hiht, which he blurted out, “My master's way of cultivation is ‘follow one's heart', ‘be unrestrained' — Senior, pardon this junior's insolence, but I've been wondering for a long tievity count as following one's heart?”
Wen Ya was stunned by his question
Cheng Qian was still worried for Yan Zheng and the others, so he wasn't in thenonsense He cupped his fist with his other hand in obeisance and turned to leave on his sword
But Wen Ya abruptly called out to hi Qian with a co with your sword for one night, your i to reach the sky in a single step? You can't defeat Zhou Hanzheng Co Qian watched as Wen Ya pointed his finger in between his own brows He see A ball of azure light gradually began to appear froht spilled out bit by bit, Wen Ya's co the hint of a spiritless air about hi Qian's personality was quite aloof He didn't usually associate with others and rarely went to discuss things with people He had never hoped for anyone to reach out and provide him with assistance, much less this kind of help that evidently caused the other person to suffer
He had no idea what the ball of azure light was supposed to be, but he could see that Wen Ya Zhenren didn't seem well and immediately tried to stop him, “Senior Wen, you don't need…”
Before he could finish his words, Wen Ya gave a low shout and caught the ball of azure light in his hand The light burned brightly for a ain In Wen Ya's hand was a piece of jade, which looked like a goose's egg It was clear and transparent, its surface fine and smooth
Wen Ya looked at the jade in his hand with a co back then, I had no connections to rely on and had no natural aptitude Even the Azure Dragon Island had refused to accept iftedJade' [1] When put inside a coe of Qi absorption and start cultivating i on an outside object to cultivate isn't any different fro cultivation will always re can be useful for fighting Zhou Hanzheng, so I'll give it to you”
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand without warning Cheng Qian couldn't duck out of the way in ti with his chest, which per Qian instantly felt as if he had been drenched with cold water, the chill spreading from the top of his head to the tips of his feet His core was thrown into a state of confusion For a moment, he couldn't even speak
Wen Ya Zhenren watched as his face twisted and couldn't help laughing out loud, “Don't worry, this thing won't cause you any harht not servethis Spirit-Condensing Jade for years, so if you wield it correctly, you can te's abilities Didn't you say earlier that you'll plot some other schemes if you can't defeat hi his abilities would produce the saolden scriptures in his hand This ti Qian's brows “This is the method of activation, re Qian couldn't even speak Seeing the azure aura between his brows fade away, Wen Ya knew that the Spirit-Condensing Jade had coht, scrae of Concretion and could fly on his sword, so the Spirit-Condensing Jade was just a common artifact when put in his body But Wen Ya Zhenren was different No ht be, he couldn't possibly not notice it then — this was the item that allowed Wen Ya Zhenren to enter the Dao, it was the entire basis of his cultivation
Looking at hi Jade, half of Wen Ya Zenren's beard and hair had turned white
Cultivators don't age This was a clear indication that his cultivation had deteriorated greatly
“I…” Cheng Qian couldn't find the right words to say, “I can't take this, Senior… This…”
“Shut yourthe Dao with the help of an outside object, do you think I feel proud ader, “Ifme down, I would've shot that pretty boy to death with iven it to you, so take it, scra up the sand on the reef island, which flew all over Cheng Qian's face Then Wen Ya leapt up and dove into the water When Cheng Qian rushed there, he could only catch the glie fish, disappearing in the blink of an eye
Cheng Qian hurriedly jumped onto his sword and rose into the sky Either because his swordplay had iht, or because he now had a Soul-Condensing Jade in his body, when he flew on his sword, his control was much better than before
But he couldn't find Wen Ya Zhenren's figure anys and finding nothing, Cheng Qian sighed silently to hie close to his heart and turned to look for Yan Zheng and the others' journey was purely an endless streareat waters, Yan Zheng Qian, but was fortunately held back by Li Yun and Han Yuan As the roup advanced further, the strip of cloth under their feet seey after a short while, just like its owner Tang Wanqiu had said Halfway through, they were forced to land on an uninhabited island
Dshi+xiong's soulless look was frankly quite frightening He see driven mad, so Li Yun had to comfort him, “If Xiao-Qian could already fly on his sword, would he be drowned by the water so easily? Let's make a fire here to wait for a while When he sees the fire, he'll find his way to us”
Yan Zheng Qian, he had remained constantly restless and anxious
He looked into the distance and suddenly jumped to his feet, “The sea has cal to find him”
Li Yun was instantly thrown into complete distress and hurried to stop him But before he could sort out his objections, so for him — when they landed, Li Yun had iured in place After many improvements, the effects of his Golden Toad Liquid could last er now, and they could even be used to share infors up to wait for Cheng Qian, but had accidentally found Zhou Hanzheng instead
Unlike the was fully satisfied and contented with his escape Seeing his high spirits, one couldn't possibly tell how he felt about losing on Island
And yet, even if that Zhou person only had two or threeby himself wasn't someone that these miserable children could handle
Even worse was, Zhou Hanzheng was extremely cautious The moment he stepped foot on the island, he is that Li Yun had placed around the shore
“This is bad,” Han Yuan watched hih the toads' eyes and said in a low voice, “He ht've noticed that there are people on the island”
“It's fine,” Facing this danger, Yan Zheng to look for Cheng Qian, “Vile people are all scared of death This time, he's out in the open while we're all hidden He must be evenus out — Li Yun, don't stop the arrays, keep them up!”
Li Yun clenched his teeth and immediately i that he'd learned fros With rocks and trees as the main media and charms as support, he could create a field of illusion He didn't kno long they could hold Zhou Hanzheng off, but every second counted
The island was quite s could have just spread his consciousness over the island to figure out his opponents But just as Yan Zheng said, he was much too careful and didn't dare to take reckless actions, so Li Yun's bluff of an illusion could serve its purpose And just like that, both parties began their exchange of probing each other, which lasted an entire night
[1] ‘Spirit-Condensing Jade' The phrase used here is 「聚靈玉」 It literallyjade', but in this context, it's closer inthe spirits' essence into the jade' than 'gathering the spirits into the jade'
