Chapter 289: Chapter 282: Thoughts

"What do you mean?" Su Chen couldn’t quite understand.

"You know that the path of cultivation can be divided into Mysterious Qi, Physical Body, and Divine Soul, right?" Jiuyou spoke slowly, "But did you know? Different paths lead to the same destination!!!"

"Different paths lead to the same destination? You mean, Mysterious Qi Power, Body Power, and Divine Soul Power can all be considered as Strength? Viewed as one kind of Strength?" Su Chen’s eyes widened.

"Right!" Jiuyou nodded.

Su Chen was bewildered, "You’re not trying to fool me, are you? How is that possible? It’s like a fairy tale!"

"Do you think I would have so much free time to fool you?" Jiuyou’s voice grew louder, "Indeed, these three types of Strength indeed converge on the same path, as long as you can do one thing!"

"What thing?"

"The Dantian carries Mysterious Qi, the Soul Sea carries Soul Power, and the Physical Body carries Physical Strength. If you can make the Dantian, Soul Sea, and Physical Body unite as one, then the three types of Strength will become one as well!"

"Jiuyou, you’re not feverish, are you?!!!" Su Chen’s eyes looked like they were about to pop out, "Your thinking is shockingly groundbreaking!"

"Don’t think that I’m joking. The Dantian, Soul Sea, and Physical Body uniting as one is not impossible. Someone has achieved it before!" Jiuyou became even more earnest, "As long as you can do it, then, in the future, your Physical Strength, Soul Power, and Mysterious Qi Strength will all act together. For instance, if you punch something, you will be able to directly tap into your Soul Power and Mysterious Qi Power to transform into Physical Strength, all of which will be added to your punch. Just imagine how powerful that could be! If you want to attack with your Soul Power, you can also draw upon your Physical Strength and Mysterious Qi Power for an added bonus. In short, once you’ve achieved this, in battle, it won’t be 1, 1, 1 anymore, but rather 1+1+1=3."

"I must admit, I’m tempted..." Su Chen swallowed, and even though he felt Jiuyou was dreaming, her concept was incredibly exciting and appealing to him.

"Since you’re tempted, from today, start practicing the ’Divine Dispersion’!"

"What’s ’Divine Dispersion’? Jiuyou, are you serious?" Su Chen was astonished.

"I never joke," Jiuyou’s voice suddenly became solemn again, "’Divine Dispersion’ is one of the strangest Cultivation Techniques in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds. By practicing it, you can dissipate your Dantian, your Soul Sea, and your Physical Body. Once you succeed in your practice, all that will be left of you is a shell and a bundle of thoughts, with your Physical Strength, Soul Power, and Mysterious Qi Power existing in a chaotic state. Once you’ve successfully practiced ’Divine Dispersion,’ you can start creating a ’Divine Mansion’ that can simultaneously carry all three types of Strength."

Su Chen remained silent for more than a dozen breaths before speaking again, "Jiuyou, let me ask one more time, you’re absolutely sure you’re not joking?"

"No!"

Once again, Su Chen fell silent. After hundreds of breaths, he asked, "Jiuyou, triple check for me, you’re not joking, are you?"

"No!"

For the next hour.

Su Chen asked ten times.

The answer he received was consistent!!!

Jiuyou was indeed not joking.

And on that day, Su Chen was like a fool, sitting cross-legged, not cultivating but pondering, pondering, and pondering some more.

The next day.

"I agree, although I think what you said, Jiuyou, is unbelievably unreliable, the idea of the Divine Mansion that carries three types of Strength is too tempting. I’ve decided to give it a try!" Su Chen said resolutely.

"Just a reminder, even though what I’ve told you is all true, there is a chance of failure, and it’s not small. And you should know the consequences of failure. Are you still willing to try?"

"The timid starve to death and the bold die of excess. Dammit, if it really works, my strength could skyrocket tenfold, a hundredfold from where it is now!" Su Chen licked his lips, his face filled with a wild look.

Jiuyou said nothing further and simply pointed a finger towards the top of Su Chen’s head.

All the information about the cultivation of ’Divine Dispersion’ flowed directly into Su Chen’s mind.

Over the next three days.

Su Chen was like an ancient tree, sitting quietly there.

The first day, he showed no difference.

But from the second day, his presence began to wane by the day, and after ten full days, all signs of life had vanished from him. He seemed almost like a dead man, devoid of Blood Qi and vitality.

On the eleventh day, Su Chen opened his eyes, "I’ve succeeded!"

And indeed, he had.

"Only thoughts and an outer shell left?" Jiuyou asked, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise, amazement, anticipation, and curiosity.

"Indeed, only thoughts and this outer shell!" Su Chen said solemnly, "It feels so strange; I feel like I’m a balloon filled with water. If someone were to poke me, I would dissipate and flow away."

"Enough talk, let’s go outside right now!!!" Jiuyou took a deep breath.

"Huh? Go outside? To be honest, right now, I’m as good as a cripple, without any strength. If I go out now and something happens..." Su Chen said with a wry smile.

Although his shell was still relatively hard, it was of no use!

At this moment, he was truly a crippled man, thoroughly crippled.

He was even worse than the Early Stage of the Mysterious Qi Cultivation Realm!

"It might be very dangerous, but you must go..." Jiuyou said solemnly, "You’ve already dissipated your Dantian, Physical Body, and Soul Sea, which means the first step is already completed. Now comes the second step, the Creation of the Divine Mansion. Constructing a Divine Mansion requires materials and support, and the Stele Suppressing Tower is a good choice. Use the Stele Suppressing Tower as the main material for your Divine Mansion!"

"Damn it! The Stele Suppressing Tower? Just have it, you... you... what are you babbling about?" Su Chen’s eyes widened in disbelief, regretting that he had trusted Jiuyou.

"I’m not babbling nonsense. The Stele Suppressing Tower of Taixuan Academy is an object from beyond our realm, and moreover, I can’t see through it, which is enough to prove it’s an extremely powerful treasure. To use it as the primary material of your Divine Mansion is more than suitable!"

"How can the Stele Suppressing Tower, being so large, serve as the main material for the Divine Mansion?" Su Chen was completely exasperated.

"As long as it’s a true treasure, it can be freely shrunk or enlarged!" Jiuyou said nonchalantly. "Once you become the master of the Stele Suppressing Tower, a single thought, and it will enter your body."

"Really?" Su Chen was as incredulous as if he had heard something from a Heavenly Book.

"Really," Jiuyou nodded.

"Then... let’s emerge from seclusion!" Su Chen took a deep breath and said.

Jiuyou, meanwhile, was hiding in the sleeve of Su Chen’s clothes. Temporarily, with no Divine Mansion established, she had nowhere else to go and could only hide inside Su Chen’s sleeve.

"By the way, let me remind you," Jiuyou suddenly added. "It’s not just you who’s risking everything. I am too. If you fail to create your own Divine Mansion, I will be left without a dwelling, and without a dwelling, I will die!"

"Are you serious? You can’t stay in other people’s Soul Seas?"

"What do you think? I can only stay in your Soul Sea because it’s very special. At the very least, on Earth, there’s no one else’s Soul Sea that can withstand me!"

"You’re insane!!!" Su Chen was speechless. Jiuyou was way too crazy, coaxing him into destroying his Dantian, Soul Sea, and Physical Body. That was bad enough, but she had also put herself at stake? If the creation of the Divine Mansion failed, it would be double jeopardy!

"So, you must succeed, otherwise, I won’t let you off even if I become a ghost..."

"Damn it, I’d hold you accountable if I became a ghost, you know, it’s you who coaxed me into this, right?" Su Chen was speechless. The pressure was intense; it was like walking on a tightrope!

An hour later.

All of Taixuan Academy was suddenly in an uproar.

Su Chen had emerged from seclusion!!!

That was one thing.

And another.

Su Chen had become a cripple, his Dantian was gone, and he was so weak that a mere breeze could knock him over... this was witnessed by all the students.

Seven senior elders were even protecting Su Chen, preventing any student from getting close.

All signs indicated.

Su Chen was indeed grievously injured and had become a cripple!!!

At that moment.

Ascending Dragon Pavilion.

The newly built Ascending Dragon Pavilion was more imposing than ever.

In the past month or two, the students of the Inner Courtyard had been practicing even harder, stimulated by the likes of Su Chen, Wuo Yu, Ji Linger, Ji Zhi, and others on that day.

"Has he become a cripple? In that case, do I have a chance to avenge my brother?" In an attic within the Ascending Dragon Pavilion, a pale-faced man in blue brocade clothes with a sinister look in his eyes muttered to himself.

His name was Ao Zhang, the older brother of Ao Hong.

Apart from Ao Zhang.

Many other students, especially some geniuses from the Inner Courtyard, couldn’t help but have extra thoughts upon learning that Su Chen was now a cripple.

"Su Chen has become a cripple, so, the rumors that he acquired a thousand Mysterious Stones..."

"Su Chen is so terrifying, like a True God, he must have cultivated some horrifying Cultivation Technique and martial skills. Now that he’s a cripple, perhaps these techniques and skills could be contributed to the academy for all of us to practice?"

"Now that he’s a cripple, should he leave Taixuan Academy as soon as possible? This disaster, as long as he stays in Taixuan Academy, it’s very dangerous for the academy!"
