Chapter 965: A Gamble? Or an Early Investment?

Hahaha, little friend, you're indeed a straightforward person; the poor daoist finds you more and more pleasing. Lingtongdaoren laughed loudly to the heavens.

A straightforward person is one who attracts affection.

When the time comes, I will have prepared the prescription and ingredients for you; I hope you reach Eighth-Grade Alchemist soon, and I eagerly await that day, as well as the day we meet again.

At our next meeting, Lingtongdaoren greatly anticipates it and also greatly wants to see it.

That scene will surely be interesting, and perhaps by then, things will have changed, people will be different.

Time, to cultivators, is both the least valuable and the most valuable.

Little friend, I hope you reach that step, and I hope you do not die young.

Having said that, Lingtongdaoren turned and left.

He came and left without a trace, not a trace left; space showed no disturbance, he vanished too fast for Chen Chuyang to catch even a hint; this person's strength is truly terrifying, the most terrifying person Chen Chuyang has ever seen, bar none.

Even the Luo Tian Shangren of the Azure Heaven Gate is not like this person.

Hu hu hu. After confirming he had left, Heishanyang gasped heavily, his whole body slumped to the ground, frightened into weakness.

After resting a long while, Heishanyang finally spoke: 'Kid, this person is terrifying; fortunately you didn't entertain any twisted thoughts just now, otherwise we'd both be done for here.'

Lingtongdaoren is a merchant from Tianwai, a true merchant, coming and leaving without trace; so far, few have seen him make a move, and none dare to act against him; whoever he takes a liking to has a high chance of rising, and in the future will advance to become a Great Power.

This person judges people well, and moreover likes to invest in geniuses.

Heishanyang looked at Chen Chuyang and warned: 'Kid, you must be careful; don't let this news spread, otherwise Tianwai will have many people coming after you for trouble; anyone he takes a liking to will be targeted by those geniuses of Tianwai.'

Many have been killed because of this; it can be said that being noticed by him is not necessarily a good thing.

Chen Chuyang heard this, somewhat astonished; he didn't expect those geniuses of Tianwai to be so bored, doing this just for empty fame.

It can't be that terrifying, can it?

Heishanyang gave Chen Chuyang a deep look and said: 'It's even more terrifying than you think; put it this way, among the people I know, ninety-nine percent have died; the few remaining are either sheltered by major sects or protected by some clans, allowing them to escape calamity.'

You kid have nothing; if this gets out, you'll surely be targeted, and then it'll be dangerous.

If Chen Chuyang is in danger, then it is also in danger; we must inform him beforehand and not expose this matter.

This matter is very serious, and it is extremely important to them.

I understand. Chen Chuyang nodded solemnly, knowing Heishanyang wouldn't say these things for no reason.

Since he said that, there must be reason to it; on this matter, Heishanyang would not deceive him.

Heishanyang, is this Lingtongdaoren very strong?

Heishanyang thought for a moment, shook his head, then nodded.

Chen Chuyang was dumbfounded and asked: 'What do you mean?'

Heishanyang drooped his head and said: 'I don't know either; I only know this person has lived many years, no one knows how long he's survived, I only know he has many deeds, and many clans have records of him.'

This person is far older than I am—by many years; even in the era of my ancestors, his presence existed; just how strong he is, no one knows, nor does anyone know his whereabouts, for he alone seeks you out, and you cannot find him.

A true merchant has no fixed abode.

Someone once tried to find him, but ended up dying without success.

There are many rumors about Lingtongdaoren; whether they are true or false, no one knows.

Anyway, being noticed by him is not necessarily good, nor necessarily bad.

Heishanyang cannot judge this either.

So, is he very dangerous?

Heishanyang nodded: 'Not ordinary danger; see how he can come and go freely in this world, and you'll know his might—he is the first Strong One able to enter this world at will, and is not rejected by it.'

Tianwai possesses countless divine abilities, all kinds of strange physiques; never underestimate the Strong Ones of Tianwai.

Every Strong One has risen through countless slaughter.

Whose hands are not piled with corpses and seas of blood?

It's very likely that the Luo Tian Shangren of the Azure Heaven Gate also noticed his aura, which is why he hurried away.

Heishanyang voiced his inner speculation.

Chen Chuyang thought it over and did not rule out this possibility.

If a Tianwai Great Power notices us, it's not a good thing. Chen Chuyang frowned: 'That Luo Tian Shangren is no simple matter; if his true form entered this world, then…'

That was merely a pair of eyes, separated by two worlds, yet still possessing such power.

If his true form were to come, would it not be…?

Chen Chuyang involuntarily became solemn; if we cannot withstand it, the consequences are unimaginable.

Don't worry; Tianwai Great Powers cannot just act at will—this time the Luo Tian Shangren acted rashly, he surely got injured as well; the world's backlash is something he cannot bear, at least he'd need years to recuperate.

When such Great Powers act at will and descend into this world, the backlash they must bear is immense; even the Luo Tian Shangren cannot withstand it.

Kid, during this period you ought to speed up your cultivation and increase your strength.

Tianwai, perhaps we can go there.

Heishanyang urged: leaving this world can shift the grudge of the Azure Heaven Gate.

It would not let the Luo Tian Shangren fixate on this world; moreover, Chen Chuyang staying in this world sees his cultivation rise very slowly.

Perhaps we can go to Tianwai, accelerate our own cultivation progress, and swiftly enhance our strength.

Fraught with danger, it suits him perfectly.

Only such an environment can let Chen Chuyang rise swiftly; this kid needs to experience danger, needs to experience battle—all the way has been too smooth, which is actually not good.

No rush; regarding Tianwai, I have my own ideas.

Chen Chuyang raised his head, gazing at Tianwai, not in a hurry to go.

At the very least, he will not leave for the next few years.

The children are still young, and moreover, one of his plans remains unfinished.

Kid, once you've decided, the earlier you go, the more advantageous it will be for you.

Tianwai is very dangerous; with me accompanying you, you can avoid most of the dangers.

If we join forces, we can still be free and at ease.

When the time comes, I'll take you to make a fortune; I guarantee you'll obtain a large amount of resources.

Heishanyang talks big, intending to take Chen Chuyang to make a fortune.

In Tianwai, there are many treasures; those treasures have become cheap for them.

Let's talk about it later; when the time comes, I'll notify you.

"Fine, as long as you know what you're doing, kid." Heishanyang wasn't in a hurry either; he just gave Chen Chuyang a heads‑up in advance, so he wouldn't want to stay in this world and not leave.
