Chapter 239: Chapter 239: I’ve Only Been on the Immortal Path for Two and a Half Years!

"If I can’t perceive it, you won’t let me out?"

Lu Chen furrowed his brows and asked.

"Not exactly," the Artifact Spirit giggled, "but you’ve expended so much vital blood that even if you were to leave, you would be fainting or half-dead. What use would there be in going out then?"

"I’m unconscious?"

Lu Chen was startled, also recalling that before he entered this space again, it seemed indeed due to unconsciousness.

"Won’t I wake up on my own?"

Lu Chen always felt the Artifact Spirit was deceiving him, perhaps having some unspeakable motive!

"In my view," the Artifact Spirit’s smile grew broader, "instead of wasting time fainting on the ground, it’s better to ponder the Dao of Foundation Establishment! Only by establishing your foundation can you truly embark on the Immortal Path! Besides, the three techniques of the Hatetian Clan can only be properly unleashed at the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Lu Chen’s expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "How do you know about the three techniques?"

The Artifact Spirit said, "As I mentioned, I was originally the life-bound magical weapon of a predecessor from the Hatetian Clan. Unfortunately, the predecessor died, and I remained. That predecessor had the capacity to penetrate heaven and earth, was proficient in the three techniques of the Hatetian Clan, and in you, I have sensed the same aura."

Lu Chen exclaimed, "So you knew all along?"

"Of course," the Artifact Spirit replied, "but you’ve learned these three techniques too poorly. I have also told you, had I truly had a choice and if it weren’t for the Hatetian bloodline within you, it would never have been possible to choose you as my master."

Lu Chen was left speechless and choked up.

This Artifact Spirit still looked down upon him, which inevitably ignited a sense of pride in his heart, and his expression grew colder as he said, "I merely stumbled upon the Immortal Path by accident. In fact, before this, I didn’t even know I was a descendant of the Hatetian Clan! All combined, my cultivation time is merely over two and a half years!"

"Only two and a half years?"

Hearing what Lu Chen had said, the Artifact Spirit was also taken aback.

Typically, for someone from the Hatetian Clan to cultivate the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method and reach the Qi Refinement Realm, it would take at least a year.

Then, with another five or so years of continued cultivation, it might be possible to reach the peak of Qi Refinement!

That would already be considered exceptional talent.

Yet, Lu Chen, with only two and a half years of cultivation, not only had the power of the mid-Qi Refinement stage but had also mastered the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique and the Heavenly Inquiry Spear Mastery!

Admittedly, in its eyes, Lu Chen’s mastery of these two cultivation techniques was merely scratching the surface.

However, since becoming a life-bound magical weapon of a Hatetian, it had been thousands of years without ever seeing someone who could study three techniques to this extent in just two and a half years!

"Lu Chen, boy, are you telling the truth?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, detecting astonishment in the Artifact Spirit’s tone, and he could not help but grin and say, "Of course, it’s true. Why would I need to lie to you?"

With his joy, he also guessed a bit that the Artifact Spirit surely did not know that much of his progress in two and a half years was attributed to the pupil skill!

Perhaps some people would need to spend a lot of time on Spirit Attraction alone!

But for him, due to the pupil skill, that step was entirely skipped.

"Good, good!"

The Artifact Spirit could not help but praise repeatedly, gleefully saying, "Never expected that I’ve actually found a treasure! It looks like, with not much time, you will be able to comprehend the grand Dao of Foundation Establishment, and when that time comes, you will certainly be able to..."

The voice abruptly stopped, Lu Chen’s brow furrowed, and he pressed, "I will certainly be able to what?"

"Unspeakable!"

Changing from its usual demeanor, the Artifact Spirit shook its head, evidently having almost slipped up.

"What’s unspeakable? I’m your master now!"

Lu Chen immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.

The Artifact Spirit said, "Your current realm is not enough, telling you would only increase your troubles, and disturb your Dao heart. Better to cultivate well, and when your realm is sufficient, I will naturally tell you some relevant information!"

Yet Lu Chen, somewhat like a rascal, spread his hands and said, "I haven’t cultivated for long and don’t know where to start with comprehending the grand Dao of Foundation Establishment. Why not tell me what you know, perhaps it might help me succeed faster?"

"Unspeakable, unspeakable... if told, you might end up dead!"

The Artifact Spirit kept shaking its head, yet this statement caused Lu Chen’s expression to shift!
