Chapter 425: Chapter 410: Rune Dao Realm

Chu Xuan spoke with utmost seriousness and solemnity.

But Long Chen still felt that Chu Xuan was too impulsive.

"Chu Xuan, don’t be impulsive, I suggest you think it over carefully, don’t do something you’ll regret, I won’t agree to this."

Long Chen said solemnly.

"Is that so?" Chu Xuan replied, "If you don’t agree, then I’ll just go out on the street and find someone random; I think anyone would agree to sleep with me."

"How can you say that?"

Long Chen frowned, "You’re so beautiful, sooner or later you’ll meet the right person, and by then you can do everything you want, so why not wait?"

"I can’t wait," Chu Xuan said. "I’ll ask you one more time, do you agree? If not, then let’s part ways here, and I’ll find someone willing on the streets; there will always be someone willing."

Upon hearing this, Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

He didn’t want to see such a beautiful goddess-level person go out onto the streets begging men to sleep with her; it was outrageous just to think about it.

"Are you listening to me? I’ll count to three, and if you don’t agree, I’m leaving. Three..."

"Okay, I agree."

Long Chen immediately nodded in agreement.

Rather than letting her go out and randomly find men, he might as well agree to her request.

"What are we waiting for then? Let’s find a place."

Chu Xuan smiled.

"Where to?"

"I don’t know, anywhere is fine, just as long as no one else sees us," Chu Xuan said.

"Let’s get a room then."

"Sure, you decide."

Half an hour later, Long Chen brought Chu Xuan into a hotel room.

The two sat on the bed, the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Chu Xuan glanced at Long Chen and teased with a smile, "That day on the mountain, you were quick to strip off my clothes, what’s wrong? Lost your nerve now that we’re here? That’s not like you."

"Chu Xuan, today is different from other days."

Long Chen gave a bitter smile.

"Is it?" Chu Xuan said. "Before, I was unwilling, but today I am willing, so you should be more excited, more wild, don’t you think?"

"I... I’m getting ready."

Long Chen was unusually nervous.

"Getting ready my ass."

Chu Xuan suddenly pounced on Long Chen.

Long Chen, caught off guard, felt a fragrant breeze sweep over him.

Shortly afterwards, something covered Long Chen’s lips.

Ten minutes later, tears fell from the corner of Chu Xuan’s eyes, "So this is what it feels like."

"What feeling?"

"The exhilarating pain of heartbreak."

After saying this, she wrapped her arms tightly around Long Chen’s neck.

...

The storm raged all night without cessation.

The next morning, when Long Chen woke up, Chu Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

On the bedside note, a few words were left: Dear brother, goodbye. If fate allows, we’ll meet again, and I’ll take good care of you then; perhaps, I won’t leave.

Long Chen put away the note, gave a bitter smile, and didn’t think much of it.

...

At this very moment, far in the south, inside the Sword Master’s Cave.

The Sword Master was undergoing his final breakthrough.

His eyes were resolute, with cold sparks jumping, and runes flickering around him, his aura terrifying.

Runes were transformed from Spiritual Power, merged with Taoist Principles, their power formidable.

Watching the flickering runes, the Sword Master did not get excited but focused intently on refining the runes.

He knew well that any relaxation would lead to failure.

And once it failed, reaching this stage again would be as hard as ascending to heaven.

Time was passing by, one day, two days, three days...

Until the seventh day, Sword Master succeeded.

His realm had leaped from the Cave Law Realm to the Rune Dao Realm, his body aglow with golden runes, making him appear almost divine.

"I understand now," Sword Master revealed his excitement only then, "Turns out, in cultivation, one truly needs to sever emotional ties and love to ascend to a higher level. Chu Xuan, oh Chu Xuan, I should thank you. Without your departure, I could not have broken through so quickly."

Sigh.

Sword Master took a deep breath and touched a certain part of himself.

Then, he circulated the power of the runes, trying to restore strength to certain areas.

But after several hours of effort, there was no movement.

"Enough," Sword Master gave up, "If one must sever emotions and love, then such abilities are no longer important.

Long Chen, you wait, your end is near."

He stood up and walked out of the cave dwelling step by step.

In Qianzhou, Great Xia Mansion.

Long Chen felt an inexplicable palpitation.

He sat up, his expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

"What’s wrong?"

Zhao Churan, who was beside him, also sat up, leaning against Long Chen’s shoulder.

"I don’t know why, but I have a bad feeling, as if something is about to happen."

Long Chen frowned deeply.

"What else could happen now? The Dragon Order has been broken, and the trouble is solved, don’t scare yourself."

Zhao Churan smiled.

"No, it’s not solved yet," Long Chen suddenly realized, "There’s still Sword Master unresolved. I trust my premonitions; perhaps, Sword Master has already broken into the Rune Dao Realm."

"This..."

Zhao Churan didn’t know what to say.

"No, I must go cultivate. I need to try if it’s difficult to break into the Rune Dao Realm as well."

Long Chen immediately began getting dressed.

"Honey, are you crazy? It’s the middle of the night, and the Rune Dao Realm isn’t that easy to enter. Don’t be hasty, getting flustered will only make things worse," Zhao Churan hurriedly said.

"Don’t worry, it’s fine, just go back to sleep."

Long Chen patted Zhao Churan’s head and gave it a squeeze before turning and leaving.

"Annoying."

Zhao Churan muttered and a bit sullenly crawled back into bed to continue sleeping.

Long Chen then went to the cultivation field and sat in meditation.

Rune Dao involves condensing spiritual power into runes.

Long Chen took a deep breath and immediately began trying.

Half an hour later, a rune appeared in the palm of Long Chen’s hand.

Long Chen felt the aura of the rune, which was indeed much stronger than spiritual power.

This small rune required a vast amount of spiritual power to evolve, as it was a concentration of spiritual power.

"It’s not that difficult, why did Sword Master spend decades in seclusion? Could it be that I’m cultivating wrong?"

Long Chen muttered.

"Never mind, I’ll just keep practicing like this."

Long Chen stopped overthinking and focused on condensing runes.

Overnight, Long Chen transformed all his spiritual power into runes.

When Zhao Churan and the others came to see Long Chen in the morning, they found his aura much stronger than the day before, as if he had become a different person, naturally exuding a powerful deterrent force.

"It’s a bit strange, doesn’t feel quite the same, does it?"

Xia Ling was suspicious.

"Churan, did you sleep with him last night? What happened? Did he drain you to make himself stronger?" Xuanyuan Yu’er asked with a laugh.

"Pfft, I drained him more like it," Zhao Churan retorted naughtily.

Then, Zhao Churan added, "He suddenly got up in the middle of the night yesterday, saying he needed to cultivate and try to break into the Rune Dao Realm, and he’s been cultivating until now."

"Is that so?"

Xia Ling was surprised, then, she approached Long Chen, "Honey, did you break through?"

"I did break through. I really don’t understand that Sword Master, how he couldn’t break through in decades. Is the Rune Dao Realm that difficult?"

Long Chen was full of confusion.
