Countdown 162:00:00.
6:00 am.
Before the morning Cultivation began, Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen tiptoed to Nangeng Chen's door.
Knock, knock, knock.
Liu Dezhu whispered, “Nannan, are you awake?”
Nangeng Chen curiously opened the door: “What are you two doing?”
Zhang Tianzhen whispered, “We ca to ask why you can cultivate so fast. Clearly, before our last trip, our progress was about the sa. Yet, only seven days have passed, and you've already completed the Great Zhoutian…”
Nangeng Chen blushed when he heard what they were asking about!
“Tell us, we're good brothers now, what's the secret? Share it with us,” Liu Dezhu winked. “If we all grow faster, wouldn't Daybreak be stronger?”
“It's not that I want to keep it a secret,” Nangeng Chen said earnestly, “and I also hope everyone can cultivate faster, but… forget it, I'll just say it. It's dual cultivation. The Zhunti thod is an esoteric Buddhism cultivation technique, and dual cultivation can increase the speed of Cultivation!”
Nangeng Chen decided to co clean.
Liu Dezhu was shocked. He looked at Nangeng Chen, then at Zhang Tianzhen.
Zhang Tianzhen was unhappy: “Are you looking at like that on purpose?”
“No, no, no,” Liu Dezhu touched his head, “I'm just deeply shocked… the key is that I can't use this thod.”
“Just find a girlfriend,” Zhang Tianzhen said.
At that mont, Qing Chen walked out and said, “I didn't want you to know this shortcut, with imparting spiritual power to you, you won't be much slower. But now that you know, it doesn't matter. I just want to set a rule for you, don't look for a girlfriend for this, otherwise you're just looking for a tool, not a relationship. I hope you can think carefully about this, and don't do sothing that is destined to be wrong.”
Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen were stunned: “Understood.”
Qing Chen glanced at Nangeng Chen again: “Starting today, you'll cultivate the second Breathing Technique. I won't impart spiritual power to you. Let's get everyone else to complete the Great Zhoutian first.”
“Okay,” Nangeng Chen agreed.
“Let's go for a run. After running, we'll cultivate,” Qing Chen said as he walked out.
After moving to the villa area, there was no one to be seen on the morning path. This made Daybreak's training much easier.
At this ti, except for Hu Xiaoniu, everyone had beco a Cultivator. Running didn't improve their physical fitness much.
Breathing Technique is Cultivation, while regular group running gradually cultivates Daybreak's coordination. It is a practice of the mind.
If Daybreak doesn't have a common rhythm, even if they all beco Demi-Gods, they will still be a loose sand.
They might beco ‘When together, a pile of shit; when scattered, stars across the sky.’
To Daybreak's surprise, Luo Wanya was already waiting outside, dozing in the back seat of a business car at the gate.
“What are you doing here?” Qing Chen asked.
“I'm worried that you might need at any ti. If you call , I can arrive imdiately,” Luo Wanya explained.
“You're thoughtful,” Qing Chen said.
When Xiao Luo saw the Daybreak mbers go out, everyone was wearing sportswear, he chuckled and asked, “Are you all going for a run? Can I join you?”
Qing Chen glanced at him: “Keep up.”
However, Luo Wanya was indeed old. His body, which had lacked exercise for a long ti and was overweight, made him gasp for breath after only two steps.
However, this Luo City local snake, with the belief that he would die if he didn't finish the run, actually ran the whole way!
It has to be said that just looking at this aspect of joining the run, Luo Wanya is far more ruthless than Zhang Chengze.
The involution between Luo Wanya and Zhang Chengze has co to an end…
After running, Qing Chen looked at Luo Wanya: “Buy the empty villa next door, move in, and choose a few of your most trusted and capable underlings. Take turns standing guard to ensure that no strangers approach these two villas.”
Luo Wanya was overjoyed. For this sentence alone, he didn't suffer for nothing!
He quickly said to Qing Chen: “I have twelve brothers who have followed for many years. They are all Ti Travelers. I'll let them squeeze into the villa next door. Don't worry, there will be absolutely no strangers approaching here!”
“Okay, arrange it yourself,” Qing Chen said, and then led the Daybreak mbers back to the villa.
Luo Wanya watched them leave, and his driver got out of the car and asked: “Luo… Luo Wanya, when I asked you to exercise before, you felt like I was trying to kill you. Why are you willing to run today? And are these people really worth it?”
“You don't understand anything,” Luo Wanya said to his driver, “Didn't you notice? These people… are all tahumans! Even that little girl is. What does this an? Forget it, you're not a Ti Traveler, you won't understand!”
On the other hand, after Qing Chen led Li Tongyun, Liu Dezhu, Nangeng Chen, and Li Tongyun into ditation, he went to the basent.
At this mont, Hu Xiaoniu was climbing on the wall. There were rock climbing handholds nailed there, simulating all the terrain needed for rock climbing techniques.
This was what Qing Chen had Hu Xiaoniu do when he had the basent renovated. The basent is 4.3 ters high. Although it is a little cramped to practice in, it is enough for now.
Qing Chen looked at Hu Xiaoniu: “Aren't you curious why I don't teach you Cultivation?”
Hu Xiaoniu answered honestly: “I am. Saying I'm not would be a lie.”
“Then why don't you ask ?” Qing Chen said.
“Because I'm no longer a rich second generation. I'm just an ordinary mber of Daybreak. I don't have the right to ask anything. I just need to do my own thing,” Hu Xiaoniu said earnestly, “Qing Chen, when we first t, I may have given you a bad impression, but I've let go of my past identity. Now I'm just Daybreak Hu Xiaoniu.”
“Sit down,” Qing Chen sat cross-legged on the yoga mat opposite Hu Xiaoniu.
In fact, he had been thinking about one question.
Hu Xiaoniu has a bright and upright, calm and peaceful personality. Can such a person pass the Trial of Heart?
If he could, it would an that he would have a higher ceiling.
Originally, Qing Chen didn't have much hope for this.
But after observing for a while, Qing Chen wanted to give Hu Xiaoniu a chance.
Li Shutong told him that every Knight has the right to take on apprentices, as long as you find a qualified candidate, you can lead them down this path.
Qing Chen had curiously asked, what if the other person doesn't fully agree with the Knight's values?
Li Shutong didn't seem to care much at the ti and replied: Those who have walked the path to the sky on Qingshan Cliff and challenged the Trials of Life and Death will naturally have the sa beliefs.
A Knight's belief is not in a certain person, but in the pursuit of a certain human limit.
A Knight's values are not achieved through brainwashing and preaching. After walking that road, climbing a mountain, watching the snow, chasing a dream, they will naturally beco the sa.
People with impure beliefs cannot pass the Trials of Life and Death, they will only die on the way to challenging the Trials of Life and Death.
At that ti, Qing Chen understood a truth, the Eight Trials of Life and Death is actually a screening process, all Knights will eventually walk the sa path.
No one shows the way, it's everyone's own choice.
Thinking of this, Qing Chen said: “Extend your wrist.”
Hu Xiaoniu curiously sat on the yoga mat, but saw Qing Chen put his finger on his pulse.
Suddenly, the Knight True Qi surged, and the sa fla patterns as Qing Chen blood on Hu Xiaoniu's cheeks.
Pain.
All the mories associated with pain surged up.
Everyone in the villa heard Hu Xiaoniu's cry, but no one dared to go to the basent to take a look, because Qing Chen had already made an agreent with them, not to go to the basent.
The change in Hu Xiaoniu surprised Qing Chen. He didn't expect that he couldn't withstand the Trial of Heart.
Qing Chen retracted the Knight True Qi: “What pain prevents you from overcoming this obstacle?”
Hu Xiaoniu gasped: “My mother passed away when I was ten years old. Just now, I seed to have returned to that afternoon. The setting sun shone in from the window of the ward, warm and soft. Mother was already so thin, she gently held my hand and said, I'm sorry, Xiaoniu, mother can't take care of you anymore. I really want to forget this pain, but I'm afraid I'll forget my mother too.”
Qing Chen was silent.
It turns out that the Trial of Heart is really difficult to overco, no wonder there are so few Knights.
He finally understood why Li Shutong said that the older a person is, the more difficult it is to overco the Trial of Heart.
It's not that Hu Xiaoniu's ntality is not good enough, it's just that life is a journey of suffering. The longer the road, the more pain accumulated.
And Li Dongze, Ye Wan, Lin Xiaoxiao, and others may also be unable to overco the loss of their parents.
Those mories and pains that you seem to have let go of, are actually still in your heart.
However, Qing Chen didn't know if Li Ke could pass the Trial of Heart?
If not, then no matter how much he did before, it would all be in vain.
After a long silence, Hu Xiaoniu asked: “Am I unable to cultivate? Why is my path to Cultivation so different from others? When Tianzhen and the others ditate, they don't seem to be accompanied by pain.”
“No,” Qing Chen shook his head: “Even if this path doesn't work, there are other paths to take.”
Hu Xiaoniu was stunned. He thought to himself, Qing Chen… how many cultivation paths are there here?
For others, one orthodox Cultivation thod is enough to create an unshakable Cultivation organization. How many Cultivation thods does Qing Chen have in his hands?
There are at least three, right?
Hu Xiaoniu looked at Qing Chen and felt that the Inner World might really be a ga, and the person in front of him is the most powerful RMB player in the whole server…
Qing Chen didn't care about Hu Xiaoniu's psychological fluctuations, he just quietly pondered:
Hu Xiaoniu might not be able to pass the Trial of Heart, but as long as he completes all eight challenges, he can still beco a Knight.
Knights of the old era couldn't beco Demi-Gods, but a-class is still enough to establish themselves in the Federation.
If Daybreak has several a-class Knights and dozens or hundreds of b-class Zhunti thod cultivators, where in the world can't they go?
No one can withstand the wrath of Daybreak at this level.
That day may still be far away.
But Qing Chen has the patience to wait for that day.
At this mont, Qing Chen suddenly felt the blood clot from his abdominal injury churning, and he spat out a mouthful of dark purple blood.
Hu Xiaoniu was startled and quickly asked: “Qing Chen, are you okay?”
“I'm fine, it's just blood clots. It'll be fine after I spit them out,” Qing Chen said. He knew his own body well. Although it still hurt, it wasn't a serious problem.
Hu Xiaoniu looked at Qing Chen and suddenly thought that even though the other party was injured, he was still helping them cultivate.
Before, too, Qing Chen had two broken ribs, and he still led the way without complaint in the cold winter.
…
…
The ti of each trip is now fixed at 7 days, so each return is on Saturday night, and there is no school the next day.
It feels like the ti-travel chanism is deliberately giving all Ti Travelers a day off, so they can adjust their tired minds during the weekend in the Outer World.
“Chen, Luo Wanya's information stated that they're going to exchange cash under King City Bridge tonight. Should we cause so trouble?” Nangeng Chen curiously asked.
“Too much,” Zhang Tianzhen calmly said, “After rescuing Luo Wanya, those who guarded him were all killed. In this situation, a fool would know that the matter has been exposed. If soone still goes to King City Bridge tonight to exchange money, it must be an ambush.”
However, at this mont, Qing Chen suddenly said: “The boss said, we still need to take a look.”
Zhang Tianzhen was stunned: “Should we still go? If there's an ambush… hiss.”
Zhang Tianzhen gasped, he realized that this Qing Chen was aiming for this ambush: “You want to ambush those who are planning to ambush us?”
Nangeng Chen: “Don't nest the plots.”
Zhang Tianzhen: “…Can you not be funny when we’re talking about serious matters.”
Qing Chen looked at them: “We're not going to fight to the death. This is sothing we shouldn't stay out of. As Forbidden Artifactace-999 said in the group chat, our greatest reliance in the Inner World is against Shendai and Koshima. If they win, then Daybreak will also have to keep its tail between its legs. Therefore, whatever Shendai and Koshima want to do, we must contribute a part so that they cannot do it.”
Qing Chen added: “Of course, we should still proceed with caution.”
At this mont, Nangeng Chen, who was holding his phone, suddenly said: “Hey, look at the hot search, Shendai Kongyin will hold a press conference in Luo City. She will give up her career in Japan and start anew in China?!”
Qing Chen was stunned. He also opened Weibo to check the hot search details.
As Nangeng Chen said, the press conference is tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, at the square in front of the Quanshun Comrcial Center in Luolong District, Luo City.
Nangeng Chen wondered: “Didn't the group chat say that she suddenly disappeared after arriving in China and was hiding from the Shendai Family's pursuit? Why is she suddenly making a high-profile coback in China? Is it a rumor?”
“Her being chased is not a rumor,” Qing Chen shook his head, “I guess she is most likely with Nine Provinces. Soone is using her to lure out the Shendai Family's assassins.”
“Why not Kunlun?” Nangeng Chen curiously asked.
Qing Chen thought for a mont: “Because Kunlun doesn’t use others as bait, they don’t have this habit.”
Zhang Tianzhen said: “If Shendai Kongyin really cooperated with Nine Provinces to do this, it's too obvious. The Ti Travelers controlled by the Shendai Family may not fall for it.”
Qing Chen said: “There are two possibilities. The first is that Shendai Kongyin possesses the Shendai Family's Cultivation inheritance. Then, regardless of whether this is a trap or not, they must try their best to kill Shendai Kongyin to prevent the inheritance from leaking. In the Face[-] of such a crucial matter, the lives of Ti Travelers are insignificant. You all know how little value Inner World people place on life. In this case, Nine Provinces will be very happy, saving them a lot of trouble.”
“What about the second possibility?”
“The second possibility is that Shendai Kongyin doesn't have any particularly important secrets, and the Shendai Family is unwilling to sacrifice Ti Travelers for Shendai Kongyin. This is the outco Shendai Kongyin would like to see. She can stand in the sun again, but no one dares to chase her anymore.”
Qing Chen didn't say that the girl from a foreign land had indeed co to Luo City.
He was even more certain that Qing Bao in the group chat was Shendai Kongyin. After seeing his na in the group, she ca to Luo City to confirm if he was the Qing Chen she knew.
Usually, a star's coback press conference is held in a top-tier city. Shendai Kongyin holding a press conference in Luo City must be aid at Qing Chen.
Qing Chen thought, tonight's King City Bridge appointnt, and tomorrow's press conference…
After this return, it's going to be busy.
However, the Shendai and Koshima families must have started a new reverse ti-travel plan. Have those people set off?
This is the most important thing about this return!
…
…
On the G307 high-speed train, the ninth carriage was empty. There were only a dozen passengers from Ling star scattered around.
In the ninth row, He Jinqiu said with a smile: “China's high-speed rail is very convenient now. It only takes three and a half hours from Beijing to Luo City. This is sothing that Japan can't match.”
Shendai Kongyin nodded: “The infrastructure construction in China these years has indeed been at the forefront of the world. My father used to talk about this often.”
The girl sat by the window, looking forward to the scenery outside.
At this ti, a steward pushed a food cart through the ninth carriage. For a mont, the dozen or so passengers who had been leisurely playing with their phones all turned their attention to the food cart.
This entire carriage was actually booked by Nine Provinces to prevent suspicious people from approaching Shendai Kongyin.
He Jinqiu glanced at the steward and then looked away: “I'm curious, this press conference could have been held in Beijing, where it would have had a bigger impact and made it easier for you to continue working in the film industry. But why did you insist on holding it in Luo City?”
“Because I was going to Luo City anyway, I've already bought the tickets,” Shendai Kongyin answered with a smile.
He Jinqiu shook his head with a smile: “Forget it, I won't ask anymore. You must have your reasons.”
Shendai Kongyin curiously asked: “Do you think they will co to the press conference to kill ?”
“They will. After all, they have reasons to kill you,” He Jinqiu said calmly: “But don't worry, 60% of Nine Provinces are now in Luo City, and Kunlun is the sa, waiting for them to co to our doorstep. You and Nine Provinces will work together to help us find as many Ti Travelers as possible under their control, so that you can live in the sun again in the future.”
However, Shendai Kongyin didn't seem to hear what He Jinqiu said. She suddenly asked: “Is Luo City fun? What are the people there like? Are they easy to get along with?”
