Chapter 530: Meeting of Siblings
The ocean waves slapped against the beach, emitting a dull sound.
Xia Hanzhou stood by the seaside, the sea breeze wantonly ruffling his sparse white hair, yet he remained as if frozen, not moving an inch.
Immediately following, a shock difficult to describe welled up from the bottom of his heart.
"The evil of the self?"
"Yes." Chen Yan said quietly:
"Fear and the negation of the self are the evil of the self; framing others and conspiracies are the evil of others.
Compared to these two, the malice of the world is not worth mentioning."
Xia Hanzhou was silent, his previously slack facial muscles now taut; he looked at Chen Yan.
All this time, he had not understood why it was Chen Yan who created the Will Martial Dao.
Why it was a seventeen-year-old youth.
It was too dreamlike.
Even though he had seen it with his own eyes, it was hard to believe.
"I understand." Xia Hanzhou nodded.
He understood.
Chen Yan wanted to erect a torch for the human world!
You are so young, yet you understand so much and do things so profoundly.
Even though Xia Hanzhou had always treated Chen Yan as the Master of Will, the issue of Chen Yan's age had always troubled Xia Hanzhou.
But at this moment.
It was completely different.
"Master of Will."
Xia Hanzhou stepped back slightly, then bowed:
"It was my bias before."
At this moment, he completely regarded Chen Yan as a future turning point, as a titan of the martial path.
Compared to his own compromising royal power ideology.
Chen Yan's ideals were truly shocking.
Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly; he also stepped back and bowed in return:
"Many thanks to King Xiayue for your constant support."
If the world were to see this scene, their jaws would surely drop.
But it happened just like that.
Just as back then within the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, when Xia Qi and his future Divine General bowed to one another.
This was the recognition that belonged between idealists.
Xia Hanzhou's expression shifted; he looked at Chen Yan and said quietly:
"Since Chen Province has such a great hidden danger, the Xia Clan must certainly deliberate on how to expose the matter of the Chen Master.
Master of Wi—"
"Just call me Chen Yan." Chen Yan smiled.
"General Yan." Xia Hanzhou changed his form of address:
"Your discovery, shifting the world's contradictions to Chen Province, is actually also saving the Great Xia.
It just so happens that the Heaven's Pride Battle Platform is opening; I think... let us turn the Heaven's Pride Battle Platform into the grave of Chen Yuan!"
Xia Hanzhou's voice was icy.
Chen Yuan was, naturally, the true name of this Chen Master.
Chen Yan nodded.
Xia Hanzhou smiled:
"The Heaven's Pride Battle Platform, are you going?"
"I am going." Chen Yan spoke, looking toward the azure ocean.
He wanted to pioneer the third realm of the Will path.
He wanted to truly change this world.
The endgame of the world would completely unfold from the moment that realm was born.
"Then I will take you to Ji Province now." Xia Hanzhou said.
"No need." Chen Yan smiled:
"I am going to see my younger sister."
Xia Hanzhou understood, then sighed with emotion:
"Your sister is truly a monster; if you were not so brilliant, your sister would grow to become the Great Xia's number one genius within the next ten years."
Xia Hanzhou gave Chen Yan a coordinate.
In fact, the Xia Clan had always had people protecting Chen Yu.
At the very beginning it was a Fifth-Rank, later it became a Sixth-Rank, and now it is a peak Creation Realm.
Chen Yu was a monster.
A monster in every aspect.
Chen Yan bid farewell to Xia Hanzhou and stepped above the clouds and sky.
Chen Yu was not too far from his position.
After all, Chen Yu's previous location was near Lu Province, and to go to Ji Province, one still had to pass by Ten Thousand Phases Island.
Time passed slowly.
One day later.
A young girl dressed in a fitted outfit with a headband sat cross-legged in meditation atop a golden array disc traversing the void, her body wreathed in talismanic light.
"Xiaoyu, you should also get some proper rest."
Within the world of consciousness, the woman in the red dress spoke, sounding somewhat moved.
Chen Yu was more than just a little diligent.
Ever since Chen Yan told Chen Yu that sentence before the college entrance exam: "The weight of life can only be glimpsed through the will."
Chen Yu had been cultivating even harder.
Cultivating with almost no pauses at all.
This was the influence brought by Chen Yan.
And because Chen Yu listened to Chen Yan too much, it resulted in Chen Yu becoming like this today.
Chen Yan was also not someone to put one's mind at ease, repeatedly encountering danger, which made Chen Yu feel a sense of crisis and unwilling to relax.
But having been like this for so long, the woman in the red dress actually began to feel heartache.
What fifteen-year-old girl would be like this?
Having an older brother like Chen Yan was not a very good thing for Chen Yu.
"Teacher, I still cannot perceive the Thought Fusion Realm." Chen Yu opened her eyes, feeling somewhat dejected.
The Thought Fusion Realm is the sixth realm of the path of mental power.
No one could have imagined it.
Chen Yu, a fifteen-year-old girl, had actually already reached the fifth realm of the path of mental power.
"It is still too early; you should stay in the True Thought Realm for at least another half a year," the woman in the red dress said patiently.
"If your realm improves too quickly, your foundation will be unstable."
"That is the thinking of ordinary people; my brother is a Realm Breaker, who would say his realm is unstable?" Chen Yu muttered.
"You compare yourself to your brother, you really are..." the woman in the red dress, Ji Yannan, shook her head.
Chen Yan is not some monster; he is a freak.
Chen Yu sighed inwardly; she had always wanted to help her brother, but no matter how hard she tried, she could never catch up to him.
Moreover, she had also obtained the vast fortuitous encounter that Ji Yannan had prepared before her death.
Don't look at it as just half a year of secluded cultivation.
The place Ji Yannan prepared had a time flow completely different from the outside world; Chen Yu had actually stayed there for a full three years.
Strictly speaking, Chen Yu was actually eighteen years old now.
Her height had also grown to about 1.75 meters, and her appearance had become extremely exquisite and beautiful, bearing a seventy-percent resemblance to Chen Yan.
Chen Yu scratched her hair in some agitation, messing up her long hair:
"My brother will definitely go to Ji Province, and by then he will have to test my strength again..."
Chen Yu pursed her red lips.
Regarding Chen Yan, she felt both heartache and a longing to see him, along with a trace of fear.
After all, her older brother always had various reasons to test her strength.
Chen Yu felt that she was currently no match for even a single finger of her older brother.
It was also at this moment.
"Oh no!" Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly deployed an array, tearing open space to hide herself within the nothingness.
"I sensed a strong energy fluctuation."
Chen Yu's complexion turned somewhat pale:
"So strong, Teacher, I must have already been discovered!"
Chen Yu had many methods and carried various array devices all over her body.
Just now, it was only for an instant.
One array had reacted.
This terrified her.
Because that array only reacted when it sensed energy fluctuations from the Creation Realm.
The Creation Realm!
The Creation Realm was enough to kill Chen Yu.
Especially on this vast, uninhabited ocean, human morality would be lowered without limit.
It was also at this moment.
Through the nothingness, Chen Yu saw.
A man dressed in red appeared at the location where she had originally been, standing quietly.
That man's appearance was ordinary, and Chen Yu had never seen him before.
"Lower your aura," the woman in the red dress said hurriedly:
"Some in the Creation Realm can directly sense the nothingness."
Chen Yu was incomparably nervous, then hurriedly nodded, hiding her aura to the lowest level.
Being targeted by someone in the Creation Realm was the greatest nightmare.
Terrifying!
It was also at this moment.
That young man in red suddenly reached out a hand, grasping at the air.
Rip!
The space was pinched and wrinkled, tearing open into gaps.
Chen Yu's pupils constricted; the opponent had actually torn open space with a casual gesture.
Moreover, the opponent had found her!
In an instant, Chen Yu gritted her teeth, preparing to fight with all her might.
It was also at this moment.
"Get lost!"
A low, feminine voice rang out instantly.
The peak Creation Realm expert of the Great Xia, who had always been protecting Chen Yu but had never appeared, emerged.
It was a woman wearing silver battle armor, her gaze cold, as she kicked out a leg toward the man in red.
And that man in red also unleashed a finger strike.
Rip!
Pitch-black wild thunder appeared in the void, accompanied by frost, transforming into a crimson river of blood; within it, countless petals bloomed, vast and mighty, suppressing dozens of miles of void and making one feel suffocated.
Boom!
The river of blood collided with that leg shadow, and terrifying shockwaves spilled out and rolled away.
The seawater below exploded into thousand-foot waves, appearing as if they were about to prop up the sky.
This momentary bombardment was like the destruction of the world!
Seeing this scene, a look of bewilderment instantly emerged in Chen Yu's heart.
Is this the Creation Realm?
The pinnacle of the world?
Just a moment ago, she had actually wanted to fight the opponent.
Truly...
A delusional fantasy.
But the next instant, Chen Yu's expression changed again; such a familiar method of attack.
Where the void was shattered, the sea breeze swept past her hair tips, carrying salty water vapor, and Chen Yu suddenly froze in the void.
She stared at the frost-covered river of blood that had yet to dissipate from the man in red's fingertips, falling into a daze.
"Little Yu." The familiar tone drifted past her ears like melting snow in spring, and Chen Yan's face gradually became clear amidst the light and dust.
The woman in silver armor, who had intended to continue attacking, instantly widened her red lips, looking as if she could not believe it.
"Brother!"
Chen Yu broke through the void and looked at the man in red.
Wild joy appeared on Chen Yu's face, followed immediately by tears; in a moment of impulse, she wanted to throw herself into Chen Yan's embrace.
The next moment, she hurriedly said:
"Who was your high school senior year liberal arts teacher?" Chen Yu stood beside the silver-armored woman, for she knew some of the methods of experts, which were extremely terrifying.
Perhaps this person before her was not her brother at all.
"It was you," Chen Yan smiled.
"I was hospitalized at the time, and you learned the senior year knowledge for me and taught it to me."
Chen Yu continued:
"I once had a scar on the back of my head."
"That was my carelessness, letting you fall off a dirt slope." Chen Yan revealed a gratified smile.
"Brother!" Chen Yu laughed aloud, weeping with joy:
"You told me you would buy me a Sun-level precious medicine; where is it?"
Chen Yan was speechless:
"Still testing me? Where would your old brother have had the money to buy Sun-level items back then?"
With a thud.
Chen Yu ran and threw herself into Chen Yan's embrace.
"Wuwuwu, Brother, I was scared to death earlier; how could you be so reckless!"
Chen Yan, at this moment, let the teardrops roll down in strings, staining his chest with dark marks:
"Because I am Chen Yu's brother. Chen Yu is so excellent, how could her brother be any worse?"
Chen Yu's body stiffened:
"You are not my brother!"
She broke free from Chen Yan's embrace:
"My brother would never say these things to me!"
Chen Yu stared at Chen Yan.
Wouldn't her brother say things like 'How is your strength lately' or 'Brother will come and test your strength'?
Chen Yan pursed his lips, looking at his sister who had now become a refined young lady, feeling somewhat speechless.
It was also at this moment.
Above, the silver-armored woman received a message from Xia Hanzhou and, at this moment, bowed respectfully to Chen Yan:
"Greetings, Divine General!"
Chen Yan also returned a bow to the silver-armored woman:
"Many thanks to you, Senior, for protecting my younger sister all this time."
"I dare not." The silver-armored woman gave a faint smile:
"The Divine General need not bow to me."
She was also shocked inside; she was at the peak of the Creation Realm, and although she hadn't used her full strength in that kick just now, it had still erupted with the power of the mid-Creation Realm.
Once at the Creation Realm, there was a massive gap between the mid-stage and the early stage.
Chen Yan should not have been able to withstand it.
Terrifying.
If not for King Xiayue identifying him, she truly would not have believed that this was Chen Yan.
Only now did Chen Yu feel completely at ease, and she threw herself into Chen Yan's arms once more.
Although the young girl's body had grown, she had been cultivating the whole time, and her mental age was still fifteen.
Chen Yan's heart trembled slightly.
His former self had longed for Chen Yu to become even stronger.
He had hoped that little Yu could stand by his side.
But all this time.
He realized he had placed too much pressure on his younger sister.
Within the Martial Dao pulse, he often saw the determined expression on his sister's face when she suffered.
He felt some regret.
Wasn't the whole point of him becoming strong so that those around him could be happy?
But in reality, his sister and father had always been worrying about him.
That day he challenged Lu Fusang to a duel, his sister had refused to let go, terrified of losing him, her brother.
The path of Will is friendly to the world, but it is unkind to family.
Furthermore.
As the Master of Martial Dao.
In this world, who else could keep pace with him?
But Chen Yan was by no means lonely.
Chen Yan held Chen Yu tightly.
Only in this moment did he seem to have turned back into that youth from Qingshan named Chen Yan.
This moment was true joy and relaxation.
