Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, his gaze focused on the asly 850 Villain value.
The pitiful number made his heart ache. For soone titled the Destined Heavenly Villain, It was almost embarrassing.
"Are you planning to break through? How many Daos have you comprehended?"
The sudden voice pulled him from his thoughts. Xiao Chen turned to see Rongi, her figure erging gracefully from the jade pendant.
Xiao Chen hesitated for a mont before answering her question.
"....Seven," he said, his voice laced with frustration.
Rongi’s jaw dropped in shock. "S-seven daos?" she repeated, staring at him as if she had just heard sothing impossible.
Although Xiao Chen had comprehended seven Daos, they were still a fragnt—pieces of a much larger puzzle.
Compared to his progress, he couldn’t help but recall Rongi’s earlier words, when she had casually ntioned being born with full comprehension of the Fire Dao.
"You… are you serious right now?" Rongi asked, grabbing his shoulder firmly, her eyes wide with shock. "What are all of them?"
Xiao Chen tilted his head slightly, puzzled by her intense reaction.
In his mind, Rongi should have comprehended as many, if not more, Daos than he had at his age.
"Light."
"Darkness."
"Fire."
"Sword."
"Life."
"Ti."
"Space."
Xiao Chen listed them off one by one with a casual expression as if it were a grocery list.
With each word, Rongi’s shock only increased. While Fire and Sword was understandable, and even Life made so sense.
The final two—Ti and Space—rendered her completely speechless.
"Ti… and Space?" she asked, her voice was more like a whisper as she tried to process what she’d just heard.
To soone like Rongi, who had lived for countless years and seen her share of prodigies and considered herself to be a prodigy, Xiao Chen’s feat was nothing short of extraordinary.
To comprehend fragnts of such profound and elusive Daos at his level of cultivation was unheard of, given that he is in a lower realm.
"Just how monstrous are you?" she muttered, staring at him like he had defied all logic.
.
"It’s not that impressive," Xiao Chen said with a faint, self-deprecating smile. "They’re all just fragnts. I’m still far from mastery."
Rongi shook her head at his words, "You really don’t realize how abnormal this is, do you? Most cultivators would consider it a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity if they could comprehend the aning of Daos of Ti or Space"
Xiao Chen simply shrugged, choosing not to linger on the matter.
For him, these were just numbers. Fragnted or not, these Daos were just a step he chose to chase after his ultimate goal.
Xiao Chen gently wrapped his arm around Rongi’s waist. "i, it doesn’t matter how many Daos one comprehends," he said, his tone soft
"Even with just one Dao, a person can still reach the pinnacle." His gaze had a sharp edge as he continued, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"I simply chose this path because it aligns with my destiny—to face various opponents who have walked different paths."
But in the end, rember this…." He paused.
"All cultivation paths, no matter how diverse, share the sa ultimate goal—immortality."
Rongi blinked, montarily taken aback by his words.
She looked up at him with a strange expression, her eyes staring at his youthful face. If she didn’t know better, she might have thought he was an ancient monster disguised as a young cultivator.
Still, she couldn’t deny the wisdom in his words.
As Xiao Chen had said, the number of Daos comprehended mattered far less than the mastery of those Daos.
For example, if Xiao Chen could reach the point of freezing both ti and space, that would be an extraordinary feat.
But Rongi, a cultivator who has mastered the Fire Dao could still counter it by burning space itself. During the ti, Xiao chen spent comprehending two different daos, Rongi would have focused on a single dao and reached a higher level.
Rongi couldn’t help but feel a mix of awe and admiration for her man.
His understanding of cultivation was far deeper than she had initially realized.
"Now, now, there’s no need to look at like that," Xiao Chen said with a teasing smile, gently lifting Rongi’s chin with his finger.
"Tell , how many Daos have you comprehended?" He asked, his gaze filled with curiosity.
’Fifty? A hundred? Or maybe even a hundred and fifty?’ He thought in his mind and his expectations were quite high.
Rongi’s cheeks turned pink as she averted her gaze, suddenly feeling shy under his direct question.
"Uh… a little over three hundred," she muttered, her voice low like a mosquito.
"As expected of my woman! Comprehending a hundred and fifty Daos in—" he froze mid-sentence, his eyes narrowing as he recalled her words. "Wait… what did you just say!?"
"A little over three hundred," Rongi repeated, this ti a little louder and smiled proudly after seeing his shocked face.
For a mont, Xiao Chen just stared at her, his brain struggling to process what he had just heard. Three hundred Daos? That wasn’t just extraordinary—it was unfathomable.
It took a mont for him to recover.
"And here I thought I was special for comprehending seven fragnts," he muttered, more to himself than to her.
