Chapter 41: Searching for Her in a Crowd
In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.
Ever since he had released Bai Ou and the others, everything had proceeded just as Su Chen had said it would. None of the clans came to give him any trouble.
Was it a temporary tolerance, or had they completely given up? Su Chen didn’t know, nor did he care.
During the past three years, he had focused all of his energy on cultivation and research.
His research on Kaihuang’s Heaven had reached a final juncture.
He was trying to use Brooke’s Formula to resolve the final issue with Origin Energy stability. After three years of calculation and research, he had finally reached the last step.
Today, Su Chen had finally finished up his last calculation and determined the last step. He carefully placed this final Origin Energy Talisman into the Origin Talisman Energy Formation.
The Origin Talisman Energy Formation flashed brightly, and it began to exhibit complicated changes.
The flashing lights arced across the sky, shining more and more brightly. Finally, they flowed together high up into the sky, creating an eye-catching spectacle.
“Success!” Su Chen excitedly raised his fist in victory.
The Origin Talisman Energy Formation’s calculations indicated that Su Chen’s solution was a possible answer.
This meant that in theory, he had already finished supplementing Kaihuang’s Heaven.
Shi Kaihuang’s dream of creating a method to enter the Blood Boiling Realm without a bloodline had been completed by his hands.
Su Chen felt an uncontrollable excitement rising up within him.
After nearly four years of bitter research, performing calculations day after day and restarting countless times, he had finally achieved success only by relying on a heart that never wanted to give up.
Su Chen was so excited that he felt like crying.
He lay atop the wooden boards within the hall, gazing at the brilliant and radiant stream of Origin Energy above his head. He had never experienced a calmness like this in his entire life.
“So pretty,” he murmured to himself.
His heart was filled with satisfaction and content.
He knew that from this day onwards, he was someone who had created history for mankind.
Kaihuang’s Heaven was fated to be an important milestone in the advance of human cultivation. It raised the universally achievable cultivation layer for humankind to the Blood Boiling Realm. In other words, any Origin Qi Scholar who continued to cultivate with dedication could reach the Blood Boiling Realm through their own effort. They would no longer be restricted to the Qi Drawing Realm forever.
Even Origin Qi Scholars with mixed bloodlines could receive benefits from it.
A higher foundation implied that humans would be able to receive higher-tier bloodlines.
After all, only with more strength would humans have the ability to obtain higher-tier bloodlines, and only with more strength could they support these powerful bloodlines. Their ability to absorb and apply bloodline powers would also increase.
Both had increased simultaneously.
Thus, the appearance of Kaihuang’s Heaven had increased the bottom line for all Origin Qi Scholars by a significant amount.
For instance, if the human race’s combat ability was ranked at 17, then Kaihuang’s Heaven had changed that 1 to a 2. It was incredibly important!
Su Chen felt excited beyond belief just by thinking about it.
He laid on the ground for an entire hour before he was finally able to reign his excitement in.
As he was calming down, he heard some people shouting outside.
It was Wang Doushan and Jin Ling’er.
Wang Doushan wore a light yellow satin gown with koi fish embroidered on it. A jade pendant in the shape of a chimera hung from his belt, and a pair of Eight Treasures Molten Gold Boots were on his feet. His hair was neatly fastened like a crowned crane1. His face was extremely round, and a rosy pallor shone through his pale skin. Because he was fat, his eye sockets looked like they were about to be swallowed by his flesh. Jin Ling’er wore a short rose-colored skirt and a red gown with golden carps embroidered onto the long, flowing sleeves. A golden cord was wrapped around her waist, tied up in a rose-like shape. Her feet were covered by a pair of rosy gilded flats, revealing her long, snow-white legs. Her hair was braided into two ponytails, her large eyes gleamed, and her delicate nose was slightly tilted in the air. She was very cute, just like her name.
Su Chen opened the door. When he saw their attire, he asked with a smile, “What wind has blown you two to my place?”
Jin Ling’er’s eyes glittered as she said, “Today is the end-of-year gathering! Did you forget the date again?”
“The Night of Flowing Blood?” Su Chen blurted out in surprise.
There is an unwritten custom amongst the students of the Hidden Dragon Institute. At the end of every year, students of the same year would gather together.
