Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Approaching Perfection! The Road Ahead!

Under the guidance of the Ruan family’s servant, Chen Zhixing passed through corridors and towers, eventually arriving at a secluded courtyard.

"Third Young Master, you can rest here. I’ll be outside the courtyard. If you need anything, just pull the bell in the room," the Ruan family’s servant said respectfully and then bowed and retreated.

Chen Zhixing nodded, pushed open the wooden door of the chamber, and walked in.

As for Elder Nether, he went off indulging himself somewhere, following his whims.

According to Elder Nether, having guarded Ziwei Mountain his whole life, can’t he enjoy himself a bit?

Chen Zhixing could only smile wryly and let him be.

Creek.

Chen Zhixing closed the door, then waved his right hand, setting up several fog arrays to conceal detection, before sitting cross-legged.

"Firstly, the first divine technique, Desolate Eye."

Chen Zhixing silently chanted in his heart.

In an instant.

Grey-white mist suddenly surged in Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

An aura of death instantly emanated from Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

"The power of death?"

Chen Zhixing pondered slightly, looking outside the door.

Outside, the locust trees and blades of grass all withered visibly.

Threads of vitality were stripped away and extracted!

And this, Chen Zhixing had only activated one-thousandth of the power of this divine technique.

If he fully unleashed the grey-white mist in his eyes, he feared half of Wuxuan City would turn into a land of deathly stillness in an instant!

Wherever his gaze fell, everything was desolation!

"Such a powerful divine technique, and to be used like that by Lin Feng—what a waste!"

Chen Zhixing shook his head as the grey-white mist in his eyes slowly receded like a tide.

"Second divine technique, Palm Thunder Prison."

Chen Zhixing silently operated the second divine technique according to the Divine Power Guidance Map that appeared in his mind.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, thunder roared!

The sound of muffled thunder, as if drums of the celestial palace, exploded in the air!

Chen Zhixing slowly raised his right hand.

On his fair right palm, countless bolts of lightning, shrunk infinitely, continuously exploded in the void!

Silver snakes danced wildly, divine thunder wreaking havoc!

The incandescent lighting illuminated Chen Zhixing’s face, making it appear even paler.

A moment of subtle delight flashed in Chen Zhixing’s eyes.

Even with the power compressed thousands of times, Chen Zhixing could distinctly feel the horrifying attack contained within this technique!

Once fully activated, it could turn an area of a hundred meters into a terrifying thunder pool, destroying everything!

Even a True Self Realm expert like Profound Yin Master would be instantly pulverized if drawn into this thunder pool!

Chen Zhixing activated it for mere seconds, already feeling a slight depletion of Spiritual Qi.

With a gentle clench of his five fingers, the thunder prison in his palm vanished into nothingness.

"This is an unadulterated killing divine technique, the most powerful among all I possess,"

Chen Zhixing’s heart pounded.

Without his Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect.

This technique... will be his strongest trump card!

As for the third divine technique, Vertical Earth Step, Chen Zhixing chose not to attempt it.

This technique is a rare body technique divine power. In terms of effect, it somewhat resembles the mythological ’Shrinking Inches’ technique from Chen Zhixing’s previous life.

This technique also complements the last shortcoming in Chen Zhixing’s body technique speed.

Thus far.

Chen Zhixing’s physical strength, mental telekinesis, body technique speed, divine technique power, etc., had all reached absolute completion!

"Am I now a hexagonal warrior?"

Chen Zhixing smiled slightly, feeling rare contentment.

At the same time, his path forward became crystal clear!

"Next, I will head to Celestial River Mountain to find the place of the Ancient Sword God’s legacy and obtain the Sword God’s inheritance!"

Chen Zhixing muttered, a clarity in his eyes.

Having killed the Celestial Chosen Protagonist, there was no point in staying with the Ruan family any longer.

It was perfect timing to set out for Celestial River Mountain tomorrow.

Provided there’s no accident, Chen Zhixing plans to turn the Sword Dao into his second Great Tao and condense a Sword Tao Seed!

After all, the advanced Sword Tao Talent he gained from defeating Ye Chen should not be wasted.

"The chill of autumn~~."

Chen Zhixing stretched lazily and then drifted into deep sleep.

Meanwhile.

In a certain boudoir within the Ruan family.

A peerless beauty with eyes like autumn waters and brows like distant mountains curled nervously beneath her quilt.

From time to time, she pulled the quilt up to her beautiful eyes, turning her head secretly, her gaze fixed anxiously on the door.

"Don’t come, don’t come, don’t come."

She chanted rapidly in her heart, like casting a spell.

Yet, until the midnight hours, there came no movement at the door.

"...Did he really not come?"

Ruan Nanzhu let out a long breath with a sense of deflated relief, feeling oddly unsettled inside.

It wasn’t disappointment, not quite.

More like the weight off her chest in relief and a sour sense of "He spoke without meaning it, but I took it seriously."

"Of course, he’s the legitimate heir of the Longevity Family, and what am I?"

"It was obvious he was just play-acting today."

"A person like him surely focuses on cultivation and family prospects, right?"

"Bah! Flirts and leaves, like the playboy described in books, isn’t it?"

Ruan Nanzhu spent the whole night caught in these random thoughts.

"Ah ah ah! So annoying, can’t sleep at all!" Ruan Nanzhu sat up in her bed, ruffling her hair until it resembled a bird’s nest.

Hmm.

Her mind was completely in disarray.

...

...

The next day, at dawn.

Ruan Zhenlong had prepared an early feast early on.

When Ruan Nanzhu, still in her pajamas, with a messy bird’s nest of hair, exhaustedly opened her door to step out, she bumped right into Madam Ruan, who came to call her.

"Awake?... Oh, what did you do last night, girl, to look so under the weather?" Madam Ruan asked, eyebrows raised.

"Nothing much." Ruan Nanzhu replied dispiritedly.

Madam Ruan looked at Ruan Nanzhu’s appearance. As someone perceptive, she quickly figured it all out.

"Is this about the Third Young Master?" Madam Ruan asked, probing.

The previously dispirited Ruan Nanzhu suddenly turned anxious, like a startled rabbit, quickly retaliating, "I’m not, I really am not, that’s nonsense!"

Seeing this reaction, Madam Ruan understood and chuckled secretly, covering her mouth, "I just asked, why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Who overreacted? I’m just having a normal response, right?" Ruan Nanzhu replied defiantly, standing tall.

"Alright, alright, you girl... it’s your mother overreacting, yes?" Madam Ruan rolled her eyes in annoyance at Ruan Nanzhu and continued earnestly:

"As your mother, let me tell you, someone like the Third Young Master is destined not to focus on personal relationships, unlike Lin Feng who used to hover around you daily, so you need to think things through yourself."

"You’re not young anymore. For your future, have a clear plan."

"If you have no such thoughts, then cut off some ideas early, or you’ll just exhaust yourself mentally, dragging yourself into needless complications."

"If you do, then don’t hide or hold back, go bold and act....."

At this point.

Madam Ruan paused, reaching out to gently ruffle Ruan Nanzhu’s hair, smiling slightly before speaking slowly:

"The Third Young Master is noble, with boundless prospects, but is our girl any less? Remember, you’re the youngest Clarity Realm cultivator in all of Youzhou!"

Ruan Nanzhu did not reply, but her eyes showed confusion.

"Alright, tidy up and head to the main hall. The Third Young Master is preparing to leave. You shouldn’t present yourself like this when meeting him," Madam Ruan advised with a smile.

"Mother, you’re babbling... What? Is he leaving now?"

Midway through responding to Madam Ruan’s earlier words, Ruan Nanzhu was caught off guard, a momentary daze on her beautiful face.
