Seeing Ye Jincen close his eyes and start ditating again.
Chen Xuan truly felt relieved all over. If it had been Su Yun, who knows what might have been asked.
If he accidentally ntioned the matter of concealing his aura, it would be a big deal.
Seems like he’ll have to be more careful in the future.
This Gu Xiu is really cunning. If he hadn’t gained the talent—Concealnt, he would never have noticed it.
This wisp of spiritual power lingered for a full half-hour before dissipating.
Yet Chen Xuan still dared not relax. Only after another half-hour did he finally feel at ease.
Phew—
Slowly exhaling, he felt as if he had fought a great battle in these short monts; his entire being felt sowhat drained.
"I’m leaving now, be careful."
Then he disappeared from the camp.
Suddenly, Ye Jincen opened his starry eyes, revealing a hint of doubt.
Usually, he leaves without a sound, though she knows, but why speak up today?
"Could it be..."
...
Inside the command tent.
After Gu Xiu withdrew that wisp of spiritual power, he entered a ditative state.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Chen Xuan; it was rely his habit to dislike people who are two-faced.
Back when he annihilated the vassals, his caution greatly contributed to his success, executing countless spies.
At this mont,
He sensed the porcelain bottle.
If soone had noticed the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, its peak was flickering with threads of red light, but it was very faint.
Monts later, the red light disappeared.
Instantly, the entire Celestial Water Commandery appeared in Gu Xiu’s mind.
This is why he had Chen Xuan place the porcelain bottle in Celestial Water Commandery; through it, he could scrutinize the entire commandery.
Of course, this was just one of the reasons, rely a bonus.
"Alright, nothing special discovered."
Gu Xiu opened his eyes, murmuring.
He only scanned briefly, because a detailed examination would consu a large amount of spiritual power, making detection easier.
...
anwhile, Chen Xuan had already reached above Youlan Mansion.
"Damn, he’s such a crafty old bastard!" Only now did he dare to curse out loud.
Letting him enter the Celestial Water Commandery, and then using spiritual power to monitor him for so long,
truly, a person capable of slaughtering a million in a nation must be bloody cunning.
But....
Gazing towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Better ask Master."
If he didn’t settle the matter of Primordial Thunder, a knot would remain in his heart. But he had no good solution for now, so his only choice was to ask Xuan Er.
Instantly disappearing from the spot.
In the study, Xuan Er was playing chess with Ye Yilan.
Even before Chen Xuan appeared, Xuan Er’s voice sounded in the study, "Here he cos!"
"What...."
Ye Yilan looked up and had just uttered one word when Chen Xuan suddenly appeared behind Xuan Er.
"Damn it, how many tis have I told you not to suddenly appear in my City Lord’s Mansion! You master and disciple, damn, you’re all alike."
He unleashed an outburst at Chen Xuan.
"If you couldn’t sense it, who can you bla?"
Xuan Er slightly lifted his eyelids, and then with a ’bang,’ placed a chess piece!
"You lost! You may leave now!"
Ye Yilan looked at the chessboard; he had indeed lost, but... was the second brother driving him away?
"What are these master and disciple up to!"
Though puzzled in his heart, he still stood up, slowly leaving the study after Chen Xuan greeted, "Greetings, Lord Mansion Master."
Only to see Xuan Er extend a finger towards the air and lightly tap, forming an array!
Then pointing to the spot where Ye Yilan had just sat, said, "Sit!"
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Xuan didn’t stand on ceremony, walked over, and sat down slowly.
"Speak, what happened?"
As for this disciple, though they hadn’t spent much ti together, he understood his character; if not for sothing urgent, he wouldn’t co looking at this late hour.
Chen Xuan sat there, looking at Xuan Er’s calm face, then spoke slowly, "Master, I want to take soone out of Celestial Water Commandery, soone who has helped a lot!"
"But...."
Before he could finish, Xuan Er spoke, "You may! With Zhen Realm Divine Techniques, not only can one step cross a hundred miles, but one can also carry a person!"
"Really, Master?"
Instantly, Chen Xuan beca excited; he didn’t expect Divine Techniques could also bring soone along.
This way, the problem is solved.
"Don’t celebrate too early!"
Seeing his excitent, Xuan Er imdiately doused him with cold water, continuing:
"The condition is that the person you carry must withstand that pressure; you’ve felt it."
"This...."
Chen Xuan’s heart, which had been excited monts ago, went cold suddenly.
When he encountered Primordial Thunder today, he sensed carefully, still at fifth-grade, about to enter fourth-grade.
He certainly understood that pressure.
"Think it through and let know!"
"Okay!" Chen Xuan nodded.
"Also, try not to go against Lord Gu Xiu’s wishes; he’s strong, and I may not be able to protect you."
He’s still very apprehensive about Gu Xiu.
Moreover, he wouldn’t put down Ye Yilan and Ye Jincen, so he gave him an early warning.
"Got it."
Even if Xuan Er didn’t remind him, he wouldn’t dare anyway. With Gu Xiu’s ability to blood refine the entire Celestial Water Commandery ruthlessly, how could he have the guts to defy him.
"Go back!"
"Yes!" Chen Xuan respectfully bowed, then disappeared from the study.
"I hope you don’t cause any trouble."
After he left, Xuan Er muttered softly.
He truly thought highly of Chen Xuan, otherwise, he wouldn’t have taught him so diligently. He even agreed without hesitation when Chen Xuan wanted to take soone from Celestial Water Commandery.
It’s worth noting that Gu Xiu had already issued an order that no one is allowed in or out of Celestial Water Commandery.
Though he wasn’t part of the court and didn’t need to obey, he had intervened in previous matters, so Xuan Er didn’t want to offend him.
However, he still agreed to Chen Xuan.
It clearly showed that he genuinely considered Chen Xuan as the heir of the Divine Movent Sect.
...
Five days passed quickly.
Finally, last night, Chen Xuan made the decision to let Xuan Er make a move to test it. If Primordial Thunder couldn’t endure it, then it was fate; he had done everything he could.
If he couldn’t save him, there was nothing he could do.
However, Xuan Er suggested waiting for the battle when chaos prevails, as it would be more convenient.
The key reason was he didn’t want to offend Gu Xiu.
But Chen Xuan reminded him that there would be an array set up in Celestial Water Commandery at that ti, with strong defenses, capable of resisting the Nine Dragons Array, and he wasn’t sure if it would have an effect.
In response, Xuan Er assured him not to worry.
....
In the side room of Chen Mansion.
Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, as he discovered early this morning that the divine technique—Evolution was showing as cooled down.
"What to evolve?"
Gazing at the cultivation techniques and martial skills on the panel, he suddenly realized that despite having so many, there were only a few truly useful to him now.
Forget it, let’s enter the purple space first.
"Divine Technique, Evolution!"
The next mont, the scene transford, and the familiar purple space erged.
All cultivation techniques appeared.
"Two more months!"
Now, Chen Xuan was pleasantly surprised to find a new line of small letters after Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Perfected) indicating (cool down ti two months).
As for the Eight Directions of the Dark Realm, it was already available for evolution.
The profound level of Evolution Divine Technique was indeed different; it even had notifications now.
"Tsk tsk...not bad, not bad!"
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction; this was what a system should be like!
Now he had more or less understood that the profound level of Evolution Divine Technique not only had a halved personal cooldown ti but also shortened the cooldown ti of evolved cultivation techniques and martial skills by half compared to before.
"Evolve, Eight Directions of the Dark Realm!"
With Chen Xuan’s voice, the purple space beca even brighter, and the four words for Eight Directions of the Dark Realm unexpectedly mixed with a trace of purple among the gold.
As for the others, they were the sa as before, with no changes.
As ti passed, gradually, the purple void began to shake.
"Hmm?"
Is it about to succeed?
"Buzz...."
Suddenly, Chen Xuan felt dizzy, a buzzing sound rang in his ears, and the next mont, he was kicked out of the purple space.
"Evolution successful!"
"Divine technique evolution cooldown, ti half a month!"
"Eight Directions of the Dark Realm upgraded to Zhen Realm!"
The chanical voice of the system echoed in his mind.
It succeeded!
It seed the success rate of evolution had increased.
He just didn’t know how the Eight Directions of the Dark Realm at the Zhen Realm level would change.
"Too few skill points."
Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, even though the evolution was successful, he felt little joy.
....
Ti passed quickly, and Qi Lin sent the materials needed for the Nine Dust Blood Refining Array to the Great Xia’s military camp.
At this ti, in the command tent, Gu Xiu sat above.
While Chen Xuan and the others stood quietly there.
"Have you comprehended the parts I handed over to you?" Gu Xiu asked.
"Yes!"
The three responded respectfully.
"Good!" Gu Xiu shouted. After waiting for so many days, he was very impatient.
"Chen Xuan, you are in charge of the North City Gate of Celestial Water Commandery!"
"Ye Jincen, the South City Gate!"
"Ji Keren, the West City Gate!"
"Array materials have been sent to the front lines, depart imdiately, and finish your respective parts within three days."
"Yes, Sir!"
The three left the command tent, then proceeded to the front lines escorted by the Imperial Army.
...
North City Gate.
Chen Xuan went directly to Ghost Crane’s tent.
As soon as they t, Ghost Crane warmly gave Chen Xuan a big hug, "Good lad, a Spirit Cultivator this ti. I’m counting on you; I’ve been pissed off by that bunch of turtles for a whole month."
"Now we’re finally taking action. Here are the materials for the array."
Pointing at four dark red boxes on the ground, "If you need anything, just ask. I can’t wait to deal with that group of turtles."
This month was the most frustrating period for Ghost Crane.
Not only was he powerless against that damned Turtle Array, but he also had to endure the occasional taunts from the insurgents.
"What? He’s a wannabe?"
"No way? A wannabe is that useless?"
"I think so too!"
....
Ghost Crane was so angry he couldn’t utter a word, he could only stare blankly.
