CHAPTER 34: FOUND YOU

Next morning.

In the training ground of the Phoenix and Dragon Dojo.

A young figure could be seen doing his push-ups, sweat slowly dripping down his forehead, forming a small pool below Lin Huang.

After taking the miraculous pill refined by Li Mei, his body had completely recovered. His meridians, which were already as wide as rivers, even enlarged a bit, allowing him to circulate energy at an even faster speed, thereby nourishing his body at an accelerated pace.

Not just that—with the pill’s effect—his cultivation had also jumped directly to the Qi Refining Realm Rank 7. He was now a late-stage cultivator.

Wang Chen lazily curled on his rocking chair, watching this scene with his half-open eyes, still having a hard time understanding just how this pill had really worked.

Anyway, Wang Chen wasn’t the type to think about these technical things for long. After the torturous century inside the Tower, he needed to cool off.

Even then his thoughts continued to surge, than for who knows why, the figure of an extremely beautiful woman looking at him with expectation in her eyes appeared in his head, how could wang Chen forget who she was.

"Rin Luan... I wonder, did she miss me in the end?"

Thinking about her, a rather self-deprecating smile appeared on his face. Although he didn’t want to admit it, spending decades together had led him to consider her as important, but he was too prideful to admit it.

It was extremely normal—after all, people developed feelings after days together—while Wang Chen, on the other hand, spent decades constantly fighting and supporting each other.

Love is a very strong emotion, but it could never be something that would force me to ignore my goals.

Wang Chen knew how fast people’s perceptions shifted. He was sure that if he had been a good-for-nothing loser, forget about loving him, the girl who once looked as if she was head over heels for him wouldn’t even have bothered sparing another glance in his direction.

All this attention and love that he was getting was because of his strength. Although his thougts were like this but that didn’t mean true love didn’t exist, however Wang Chen, who had already lived thirty lifetimes, had yet to encounter such exceptional emotions.

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by strange heavenly phenomena above the library again.

"Someone snooping again. Wish I had the skill to block all these types of privacy invsaion."

While thinking, he got off his chair and walked toward the small open garden with a bored expression.

Just at this time, Lin Huang also happened to walk out of the library with a slightly soulless Li Mei dragging behind him like a cold corpse.

Looking at his little disciple, Wang Chen couldn’t stop himself from frowning. "Now what happened to this girl?"

Lin Huang, on the other hand, felt a strange emotion watching his own junior sister suffer.

This was the first time Li Mei had visited the library, and as someone from the upper realm, the books inside were pure heresy. Just one glance, and she almost suffered cultivation deviation. Thankfully for her, she reacted fast and closed the book at lightning speed.

It was then Lin Huang noticed the presence of Wang Chen standing around lazily. Immediately a surprised expression appeared on his face. It was rare to see Master walking out of the main hall unless it was absolutely necessary.

As such, Lin Huang couldn’t stop himself from asking,

"Master, do you need something?"

Wang Chen, who heard the seemingly innocent question, almost fell on his butt., and he lashed out inwardly, Brat, what do you think your master is? Do you think all I do is lie around on the chair? Hmph!

On the surface, his expression didn’t change at all. At first, he was here only to see what his disciples were doing, but now, hearing Lin Huang talk like this gave him a pause and forced him to consider.

His thougth’s surged and brilliant idea appesred in his mind.

Indeed, it’s been some time since they came under my tutelage, and I have yet to teach them anything. Might as well use this opportunity to cement my image as a peerless master.

With that thought in mind, he gently coughed to clear his throat before speaking.

"It’s time for your first official lecture to begin. Prepare yourselves."

That was not something Lin Huang was expecting, and as such, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"What, Master? Are you being serious?"

"What do you think, brat... Do I look like I’m joking?"

Without hesitation, Lin Huang nodded his head. Looking at his innocent face, Wang Chen suddenly had the urge to place a Doomclock timer.

...

Meanwhile, somewhere in the upper realm.

In a sky-high palace made entirely from sacred materials that were as rare as phoenix feathers, surrounded by seven-colored mystical clouds, occasional dragons and phoenixes could also be seen roaming about, sometimes dancing.

This palace was the headquarters of one of the most powerful sects of the upper realm—Sword Saint Heaven—a true powerhouse of the higher world with a history stretching millions of years.

A woman dressed in a simple white laced gown looked at the unfurled golden scroll in her hands, her fingers trembling.

If anyone from the upper realm were to look at this lady’s hand, they would be directly shocked. Etched on the back of the scroll was the symbol of a wide-open eye surrounded by nine stars overlooking the heavens.

This was the symbol of the Divine Seer Alliance—another powerful sect of the upper realm known for their clairvoyance and divination abilities.

After reading the report words again, the woman flicked her wrist, and the scroll immediately lit up, devoured by pure phoenix fire, burning to ashes before scattering with the wind.

The woman looked outside the palace window with a look of melancholy filling her eyes.

"Master... after so many years, I finally found you."

Just at this moment another extremely beutiful woman appered in the large hall.
