Chapter 699: Since You've Come, Find Peace

Shenlong Ancient City, a slender woman slowly walked into the city. She wore a fitted mage outfit, exposing her waist, and her skin was as white as snowflakes.

Her appearance was stunningly beautiful, leaving people amazed.

Her arrival instantly attracted the gaze of many male High-level Professionals; many people who had been chatting became stunned the moment they saw her.

Their eyes were firmly fixed on her, unable to look away for a long time.

She was dazzling, constantly exuding an unimaginable charm. Not only male High-level Professionals, but many female High-level Professionals were also drawn to her, showing envy.

She was like a flame on a cold night; her mere appearance captured everyone's attention.

Her face showed little expression, with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth. Yet deep in her eyes there was a hint of disgust.

She disliked being stared at like this.

Fortunately, it was only staring; no one came to harass her.

High-level Professionals still have their own code of conduct, especially those who have reached Level 70 and completed the Third Transcendence; each has their own principles.

Most people were merely admiring; everyone loves beautiful things.

She arrived at the center of the plaza, where the Gu Lei Tower stands.

However, the Gu Lei Tower is currently deactivated, sunk underground.

A circle had been marked here, with soldiers guarding outside, forbidding anyone from approaching.

The woman did not approach, merely standing at a distance, watching,

"Gu Lei Tower."

The woman slowly uttered three words, her eyes bearing 247 a hint of curiosity. "Miss, are you here to see the Gu Lei Tower?" a voice suddenly sounded beside her, as someone came closer.

A man in his thirties, a middle‑aged person, who could at just over thirty

become a High-level Professional, should be considered a genius.

Yet compared with the woman, the difference was not great.

The woman appeared to be only twenty years old, very young.

Of course, no one believed she was truly only twenty.

The woman did not turn around, her small mouth slightly open, and she said two words, "Yes."

Her voice was slightly cold, carrying a hint of arrogance.

After speaking, the woman lifted her leg and left.

The man was about to chase after her when suddenly his vision flickered, and he lost sight of her silhouette.

He searched rapidly and found the woman had already moved to a spot more than ten meters away.

Then his vision flickered again; the woman vanished once more, another ten‑plus meters away.

"So fast!"

He silently marveled; the woman was merely taking simple steps, each covering over ten meters.

After a few steps, she was completely out of sight.

Despite his shock, he did not pursue.

He knew she had no intention of any contact with him.

The pride of a High-level Professional would not make a fool of himself.

Leaving Shenlong Ancient City, without so many gazes, the woman clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

That feeling was truly uncomfortable, even somewhat painful.

It seemed she was regretting, her steps treading on the small grass, muttering to herself.

"Is this decision right or wrong?"

"Jiang Chen is not here, and I don't know when he will come, but aside from this place, where else can the Demon Emperor find him?"

"The Demon Emperor cannot pass through the Human World; it seems only here can I wait for Jiang Chen."

"In the Human Race there is a saying: 'If one comes, be at peace.' Since he has arrived, I shall wait."

She is the Demon Emperor, or rather a Clone of the Demon Emperor.

She transformed into a human form, suppressing her power to come here, solely to find Jiang Chen.

But

Now Jiang Chen is not here, so she can only wait.

Outside the city she casually found a large stone and, looking slightly lazy, lay down.

An invisible Barrier manifested, concealing her aura and hiding her form. Passing High-level Professionals saw nothing, unable to perceive her at all. For High-level Professionals, her level was too high; if she chose not to be discovered, neither High-level Professionals nor Top-level Professionals could detect her.

She was not anxious; she believed Jiang Chen would eventually come here.

Jiang Chen carries the aura she left behind, allowing her to sense his approximate location.

Jiang Chen should now be in the Ancient Battlefield, but not in the Lower Space; he is in the Upper Space.

Given Jiang Chen's level, he can remain indefinitely in the Upper Space; his whereabouts are self‑evident.

Jiang Chen continuously used his Skill, gradually erasing his soul power thread by thread. At first he could not Control it; a single strand of soul power released would instantly fly ten thousand meters, and with slightly more force, tens of thousands of meters.

The difference from his expectations was huge.

Jiang Chen had envisioned being able to freely Control distance.

Starting from a hundred meters up to a hundred thousand meters, he could fly as far as he wished.

Otherwise, having only speed without precision would greatly diminish the Skill's effect.

Such a good Skill should not go unused; that would be a waste.

Yet achieving this step is difficult.

For ten consecutive days, Jiang Chen practiced the Skill nonstop. He had no idea how many hundreds of thousands of times he trained, gradually mastering the rhythm and becoming more proficient. After ten days, Jiang Chen could Control himself to move freely within a range of a hundred meters to a kilometer.

The precision was not less than ten meters, and the time would not exceed 0.1.

seconds, the speed was as if instant teleportation.

To master the Skill to this extent within ten days, Antares exclaimed again, Jiang Chen truly is a genius.

The process of mastering the Skill is the process of Jiang Chen refining his control over his own soul power.

During the cultivation of the Undead Wing, it also greatly aids the cultivation of the Split Soul Technique.

The essence of the Split Soul Technique is to split off a strand of soul from the soul body, forming a Clone-like existence to bear the backlash force.

Because the split‑off strand of soul is extremely tiny, its damage has little effect on the soul.

Without harming the soul's foundation, up to five strands can be split, allowing the release of five Purple God‑Punishing Thunder attacks.

If the splitting continues, it will affect the soul's foundation.

Of course, with the all‑round Rebirth talent, even the soul can be reborn. But activating the talent has prerequisites: someone must kill oneself, and the intervals must exceed one minute; it is not without weakness.

But now, after these days of cultivating the Undead Wing, Jiang Chen's control over the soul has become increasingly subtle,

By analogy, he has gained a completely new understanding of the Split Soul Technique.

Now Jiang Chen can split off even smaller and finer soul power, splitting less soul to form a Clone.

Without harming the soul's foundation, the previous Split Soul Technique could only split five strands; now he can split ten.

Although it only adds five more attack opportunities, in battle a hair's breadth can mean the difference between life and death.

After ten days, Jiang Chen stopped the cultivation.

He knows he has cultivated to a certain level, and further effort would not yield much effect.

In fact, starting from the eighth day

, the effect of cultivation had become negligible.

Antares gave him a glance, "Done training?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Almost there, the effect is no longer obvious." Antares, with an indifferent air, said, "Indeed, it's almost there. At your soul tier, reaching this level is already commendable."

"I don't know your Skill, but regarding the Split Soul Technique, you've already reached the limit."

Jiang Chen, with a hint of doubt, said, "I can feel that the Split Soul Technique still has room for improvement."

"Of course, you are only at the elementary stage of the Split Soul Technique now, and you are still far from the next stage."

"What is the next stage like?"

"What's the point of telling you? Your soul simply can't bear it; you can only do what your tier allows."

Jiang Chen knew Antares was being cryptic again, but he wasn't in a hurry.
