Chapter 298: 18 Years Ago_3
"When have I ever broken a promise?"
Chen Xuan retorted, "Of course, it depends on whether you are willing to talk."
"I'll tell you!"
Wang Man instantly made up his mind. For the sake of Immortal Grade, he couldn't care about anything else.
"Sorry, old friend!"
He murmured in his heart.
But in the next moment, he told Chen Xuan everything he knew without reservation.
"Master, that's everything I know!"
"Here you go!"
Chen Xuan did not renege on his promise and directly threw him two porcelain bottles, one white and one black.
"The white one is enough to help you cultivate to the Nine Layers of Purity, and the black one will help you break through to Immortal Grade!"
"And I promise you this: if you can't break through even after taking the black one, come find me, and I'll personally help you with it!"
Wang Man clutched the two porcelain bottles tightly in his hands, gazing at Chen Xuan with intense eyes.
"Thank you, thank you, master!"
"You can leave now!"
Chen Xuan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Wang Man lowered his head, took a few steps back, and then turned to leave the third floor.
"Heh!"
Chen Xuan chuckled softly.
It seems... the current 'Tian Bo' is a World Spirit.
Unexpectedly, World Spirits can gain intelligence and even take form.
Moreover, Chen Xuan had also roughly deduced that his purpose was to enter the fifth-floor Array of the Library Pavilion.
"Since that's the case... it's perfect!"
Chen Xuan squinted his eyes, a cold gleam in his gaze.
In the past, he was hesitant and couldn't make up his mind, but now... the opportunity had presented itself, and since he could devour the beings of a whole realm, he no longer needed to hold back.
The only question now is just how powerful 'he' really is.
"Cultivation...!"
"I must achieve a Realm Breakthrough as quickly as possible!"
...
In the days that followed, Chen Xuan did nothing but cultivate.
And of course, there was another thing, which was to destroy the Three Talents Sect, allowing Zhuo Wu to take over and forcefully prop him up to the Mid-Stage Immortal Grade.
Now,
Chen Xuan knew everything that happened in the Tian Mansion like the back of his hand.
Zhuo Wu reported everything happening in Tian Mansion to him every day.
And since the last time, 'Tian Bo' had been very quiet, spending most of his time cultivating.
However... there were several instances of loss of control.
Because of this, several servants in the Tian Mansion died, all being directly killed by the aura of his Profound Realm.
Now, none of the servants in the Tian Mansion dared to get too close to the room where he cultivated.
"This won't do!"
'Tian Bo' furrowed his brows, almost losing control just moments ago.
If this continued, he wouldn't hold out until the Array opened.
"I must consume blood sacrifices!"
But with his current strength, only Martial Artists above the Immortal Grade would be of use to him, and preferably Late-Stage ones, as Early-Stage ones were too weak in effect.
But... Zongzheng had previously warned him not to take action in the Molan Mansion.
"Never mind... let's consume a few first, then move on to other places once stabilized!"
He felt he couldn't hold on much longer.
This body was still too weak.
That night,
'Tian Bo' stealthily left the Tian Mansion.
And the news of his departure reached Chen Xuan immediately.
"Looks like he can't hold it anymore!"
Having devoured so many Martial Artists that day, including Peng Yuan, a master of the Profound Realm, he knew there was a problem.
It seems that just as he suspected, it might be an issue with the Cultivation Technique, or the World Spirit's manifestation required a constant intake of Martial Artists to sustain.
"Let's see if there's an opportunity today!"
Chen Xuan's eyes burned with intensity.
If they really captured him, then the Human Realm... would have hope.
...
Chen Xuan's figure kept shifting positions within the city.
Before, he wouldn't have acted so recklessly. Even though he used his stealth ability, the movement from Divine Footstep was still noticeable to others.
"Not here...!"
Western Region!
"Not here either..."
Southern Region!
....
"Damn it, where did that bastard run off to?"
He searched every place in the city but found no trace of 'Tian Bo.'
Could it be that he had something that could evade his Telepathy?
Although he found it hard to believe, it might really be as he thought.
'Tian Bo' had a means of evading him.
"I really underestimated this World Spirit!"
As the sky gradually lightened, Chen Xuan accepted this reality.
"Sigh!"
He shook his head, sighed, and his figure gradually started to fade.
The next day!
Once he found out the time 'Tian Bo' returned to the mansion, Chen Xuan was finally certain that he truly had a way to evade his Telepathy.
With such a thing around, trying to catch him means they would have to openly charge into the Tian Mansion.
However... after the last event, the Tian Mansion had already set up an Array.
Under this Array, he sensed immense danger.
According to 'Tian Bo's' unintentional hint, even masters of the Profound Realm who broke into Tian Mansion would find no return.
"What a headache!"
Chen Xuan held his head, looking distressed.
...
"You'll cultivate here in the future, and help keep an eye on Tian Bo!"
Chen Xuan instructed Luan Ying.
This residence was right next to the Tian Mansion.
After he arranged for its purchase today, he brought Luan Ying here.
"Understood, my love. Not even a mosquito leaving Tian Mansion can escape my Spiritual Power!"
Luan Ying declared confidently.
Note that she was only one step away from the Late-Stage Immortal Grade.
Another few dozen days at most.
By then, her Spiritual Power would be significantly stronger.
And indeed, as she cultivated further, she found the Myriad Manifestation Skill more formidable.
"Don't be careless, he's a master of the Profound Realm. Even if his Spiritual Power isn't strong, his instincts are very sharp!"
Seeing her so confident, Chen Xuan reminded her with caution.
