Chapter 223: Thank You, Gong Hangwen

Inside the room.

Bean-sized teardrops slid down from Chen Yu's eye sockets.

The fifteen-year-old girl was full of grievances, sniffling as she stared at the ceiling.

On her arm, there was still a red fist mark.

"This Chen Yan, he really is..." the Red Skirt Woman named Ji Yannan in the Consciousness World complained.

Chen Yu had gone in high spirits to show her brother her cultivation gains from these past few days.

As a result, she was stunned by a single punch from Chen Yan.

He hadn't held back at all.

"I will never pay attention to my brother again," Chen Yu sobbed.

Chen Yu wiped away her tears, her teeth biting her red lips, and gradually stopped crying.

She sat by the bed, stunned for a long while.

Then, she suddenly let out a "puchi" laugh.

"My brother has become even stronger."

She said this sentence feeling both miserable and proud.

If anyone could best understand Chen Yan's pressure, it was naturally Chen Yu.

Because from the very beginning, whatever Chen Yan suffered, Chen Yu was also trying every possible way to resolve.

Such difficult, unsolvable hardships had been resolved by Chen Yan.

Now, these two siblings struggling in Qingshan Town seemed to have finally gained a firm foothold in the Great Xia.

Even if the enemy was strong, they also had their own methods of self-preservation.

It's just...

"Stinky straight man, my brother will never have a wife in his entire life."

Chen Yu still felt a bit aggrieved.

Just at this moment.

Outside the door, there was suddenly the sound of talking.

"Smile, why did you come over so late?"

"It was Vice Chief Shen who asked me to come."

"Good, please come in, I will go call Xiaoyan."

On the first floor, the voices of Chen Yuhu and Si Wenyi drifted up.

Inside the room, Chen Yu pricked up her ears.

It was that very beautiful sister.

Soon.

Chen Yan walked out of the Cultivation Room.

"Siwen Jie, you're here."

Chen Yan had a gentle smile on his face, and when he walked to the sofa, he specifically poured a cup of tea for Si Wenyi.

Si Wenyi looked at Chen Yan, a trace of joy in her eyes:

"The matter on Shen Yiwei's side has been resolved."

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Compared to the melancholy of the day, the smile on Si Wenyi's face now carried a gentle warmth.

After all, if Shen Yiwei were to attack the Gong Family regardless of the consequences, the entire Yunmeng City's Military Guard might be thrown into turmoil.

As someone in logistics, Si Wenyi would also be lost and miserable about the future.

Inside the second-floor room.

Chen Yu listened to the conversation in the living room.

She was also very curious about what exactly had happened.

Si Wenyi's smile was like a flower:

"The Gong Family has been wiped out."

She looked at Chen Yan, ten thousand waves surging in her heart.

Bing Yi.

That Bing Yi who wiped out the Gong Family was sitting right in front of her.

Opposite her, Chen Yan nodded:

"The Gong Family is wiped out, and as for Vice Chief Shen..."

Si Wenyi paused slightly, brushing her hair as she said:

"The Gong Family privately raised an Ancient Divine Beast and harmed living creatures; today they were wiped out, and these matters will also be completely exposed.

Gong Hangwen is dead, so Shen Yiwei most likely does not need to go to the Wasteland Market anymore.

Even the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard Headquarters would find it difficult to continue arranging for him to go."

As she was speaking, the youth with delicate features opposite her spoke:

"I said it before, everything will get better."

"Yes," Si Wenyi nodded, her eyes like autumn water:

"It has gotten better, Chen Yan."

Inside the room.

Chen Yu was also stunned.

The Gong Family has been wiped out.

This is absolutely a good thing.

Chen Yu clenched her Fist.

"To eliminate the people of the Gong Family, that is also formidable; one person killed their way in, settled everything, and left safely."

Si Wenyi's voice sounded once more, and she looked at Chen Yan with a look that was not quite a smile:

"Bing Yi, have you heard this name?"

Chen Yan was slightly Stun, and looked toward Si Wenyi.

The other party had known from the very beginning that he was Bing Yi, and now that she spoke again, it seemed to carry a different meaning.

Si Wenyi had bright eyes and a beautiful Gaze, carrying admiration, yet also something complex, and until the end, there was even a trace of resentment.

She only felt that she was becoming further and further away from Chen Yan.

That Youth who went on missions and still needed her to supervise the battle from afar no longer needed her.

Chen Yan seemed to see what was flickering in Si Wenyi's Pupil.

He wanted to speak but stopped, just staring at Si Wenyi like this, and the atmosphere inside the living room seemed to quiet down.

Until the end, it was Si Wenyi who somewhat uncomfortably shifted her Gaze, took out a package, and placed it on the coffee table.

"This is what Shen Yiwei asked me to give to you."

Si Wenyi Stood Up:

"I... I will head over to the Gong Family side first."

"Alright." Chen Yan rose to see her off.

"No need, your time is precious," Si Wenyi said.

"It is not precious," Chen Yan insisted, and Si Wenyi was Stun; accompanied by Chen Yan, she walked out the door and sat in the car.

"Siwen Jie, until we meet again," Chen Yan said.

In the sedan, Si Wenyi was taken aback, then nodded with some difficulty.

As the sedan drove away, Si Wenyi looked through the rearview Mirror at the Youth standing under the lights and smiled.

Returning to the room.

Cultivation.

The Gong Family is already destroyed, but the Chen Seal Lock is still there.

The Chen Seal Lock on him and his Sister is the ultimate culprit that led to all of Chen Yan's tragedies.

Now, Chen Yan has become a Five-Stage General Star, a Strong One famous in Yunmeng.

But that Chen Seal Lock is always in the shadows.

As long as the other party is alive, his heart will not be at peace.

If his heart is not at peace, he must find a way to kill.

The world presented before Chen Yan is a scene destined to head toward tragedy.

He does not want everything he currently possesses to drift away from him.

Only with more powerful strength can one firmly grasp these things in one's hands.

"Brother, you..."

On the second floor, Chen Yu walked out of the bedroom, blankly looking at her Elder Brother.

Bing Yi destroyed the Gong Family, but isn't that Bing Yi her own brother?

The Elder Brother who had just returned to Jia Li had actually done such a formidable thing just a few hours ago.

"Xiaoyu, is your arm alright?" Downstairs, Chen Yan smiled, carrying a trace of apology.

He had just finished a great battle, and when sparring with his Sister, he indeed had not controlled his strength well for a moment.

"Brother, the matter of the Gong Family..." Chen Yu, however, continued to press on.

Chen Yan slowly shook his head:

"You don't need to worry about these things, get some good rest."

Having said that, Chen Yan walked into the Cultivation Room, leaving only the blankly standing Chen Yu on the second floor.

In the Consciousness World.

Ji Yannan also watched this scene in Silence.

For this Youth named Chen Yan, she would not feel surprised by anything he does now.

She has seen countless Heavenly Pride, but this Chen Yan is unique.

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Chen Yan opened the package sent by Si Wenyi.

Inside were two books.

Upon seeing the names of the two books, Chen Yan's Mu Jin brightened with joy.

It came just in time.

The first book: 【Theoretical Research on How to Open the Fourth-Stage Martialist Origin Space】

Chen Yan looked at the Corpses of Gong Wu and Gong Hangwen before him.

He had studied them for a long time just now, but he had no way to sense the Origin Space within their bodies.

He did not expect that Shen Yiwei would also guess the problem Chen Yan would encounter and send the book directly.

As for the second book: 【Lu Xunyang's Daily Log】

Chen Yan's Mu Jin flashed; this was something Xia Hanzhou had promised to give to Chen Yan during the Tianjiao Trial.

Chen Yan opened 【Lu Xunyang's Daily Log】 first.

The Yan Realm opened, and Chen Yan's thinking speed reached its absolute limit.

【Lu Xunyang's Daily Log】 detailed the process of Lu Xunyang ascending to Unity, all the way to the Origin Realm.

At first, Chen Yan was full of interest, but immediately after, his brows furrowed.

Destroying Root Bone, altering the Flesh?

Before Lu Xunyang's Extreme Pattern Count reached one hundred and forty-four, the Human Race's Boundary Limit for the Extreme Pattern Count was one hundred and twenty-five.

In order to pursue his own Limit, Lu Xunyang actually destroyed his own Tendon, Bone, and Skin, then sought Treasure Medicine to make his Flesh grow again.

His Flesh could not cultivate SoulRefining, and his talent for Horizontal Refinement was also extremely poor, so only by doing this could he ensure his Flesh and Root Bone were not weaker than others.

It was a bit too crazy.

Chen Yan finished reading this entire book in detail; rather than a cultivation log, it was more like a diary of self-torture.

It made his teeth ache to read it.

However, there was one record that made Chen Yan's Pupil color flicker.

【I believe that when the Horizontal Refinement Master created the Extreme Forging Realm, he had already reached seventy-two Extreme Pattern Counts.

It takes the world a long time to reach this number of Grain Marks.

They even think that when the Horizontal Refinement Master pioneered the Extreme Forging Realm, he might have only condensed thirty-six or even fewer Extreme Pattern Counts.

No.

It is not like that.

Because when I condensed one hundred and forty-four Extreme Pattern Counts, I heard the echo of the Cultivation Realm.

I obtained a powerful opportunity sufficient to change the foundation of the Flesh.

Why have there been no records of warriors who broke the Extreme Forging Realm's Boundary Limit obtaining such an opportunity before?

I speculate that it is because one hundred and forty-four is twice seventy-two.

This might be a rule within the truth of Horizontal Refinement.

So I think.

If future generations can reach two hundred and sixteen, which is three times seventy-two, they can also hear the echo of the Cultivation Realm.】

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

This was Lu Xunyang's speculation.

A multiple of seventy-two?

The echo of the Cultivation Realm?

Chen Yan committed these to memory.

Chen Yan's current Extreme Pattern Count was one hundred and sixty-two.

There were still fifty-four Grain Marks until the next multiple of seventy-two, two hundred and sixteen.

That is to say, Chen Yan still had to break the Boundary Limit fifty-four more times to reach it.

That is a bit terrifying.

After all, even Lu Xunyang had only broken the Boundary Limit nineteen times.

Chen Yan fell into Silence.

Lu Xunyang was Lu Xunyang, and he was himself.

He, Chen Yan, was the Master of Will, and on a higher level, he had long since surpassed Lu Xunyang.

Subsequently, Chen Yan opened that book, 【Theoretical Research on How to Open the Fourth-Stage Martialist Origin Space】.

After reading it carefully, Chen Yan grabbed Gong Hangwen's Corpse, his own SoulRefining surging into the other's body, and began to grope according to the contents of this book.

Finally, when Chen Yan's SoulRefining surged into Gong Hangwen's dantian, he indeed felt a sealed space.

With the circulation of SoulRefining, it condensed into an Array, and Chen Yan opened Gong Hangwen's Origin Space.

He saw that this was a pitch-black space of five hundred cubic meters.

Inside, there was first a pile of filth and Corpses, and further back, rows of Jade Boxes and books gradually appeared, placed quietly.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang flashed, and he took out those Jade Boxes.

Opening them to look, inside each Jade Box were arranged jades condensed with Panlong Grain Marks.

This is...

Panlong Jade!

The Horizontal Refinement Treasure Medicine belonging to the Gong Family.

The grade was not very high, only Earth Vein Grade A.

But...

The quantity was large!

Chen Yan uncovered the Jade Boxes one by one and placed these Panlong Jades on the floor.

Last time, the Panlong Jade that Chen Yan obtained from Gong Hangwen in the name of Bing Yi was only three hundred grams.

But here, there was a full one hundred kilograms!

Chen Yan's body trembled, and he immediately opened Gong Wu's Origin Space.

Panlong Jade!

Panlong Jade again.

Iron Boxes appeared one by one, piled together.

Five hundred kilograms of Panlong Jade!

Chen Yan pursed his lips.

He had struck it rich.

Back then, Shen Yiwei had requested one hundred grams of Panlong Jade from Gong Hangwen to distribute among the Heavenly Prides of the entire New Dragon Guard.

Chen Yan, receiving his share alone, had only gotten thirty grams.

Back then, it had been a bit too pitiful.

Chen Yan took a deep breath.

With this much Panlong Jade, he was afraid it would be enough for him to cultivate directly from Unity to the Origin Realm.

Chen Yan thought as much.

Thank you, Gong Hangwen.
