Chapter 3013: Don't Believe a Single Word!
While Ye Chen felt deeply guilty for his parents, Lin Wan'er's mood on the side was also extremely complicated.
She flipped through the content behind the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra Preface' again, and the more she looked, the more shocked she became.
She picked up one of the papers and said to Ye Chen: "Young Master, this section records how to find the Ten Thousand Great Mountains... So Young Master's parents should have found the secret of longevity in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains according to this record, and brought out the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' from the secret of longevity..."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Changsheng Earl mentioned the secret of longevity when he fought with me that day, and all kinds of clues are consistent with your speculation."
Lin Wan'er's face changed, and she said: "Young Master... why do I always feel that Master seems to have planned a huge conspiracy more than three hundred years ago?"
Ye Chen asked her: "You mean, my today is what he planned more than three hundred years ago?"
Lin Wan'er nodded heavily and said: "Perhaps, all of this is the longest fishing, but Master's goal is not Young Master's father..."
Ye Chen continued: "His goal is me..."
"Yes..." Lin Wan'er said firmly: "I think so too! No one knows when Master started planning this matter, but he definitely wouldn't just be for the so-called inheritance."
Ye Chen asked her: "Then what do you think he racked his brains for hundreds of years ago? He clearly died more than three hundred years ago..."
Lin Wan'er thought for a while and asked him: "Young Master, the Rothschild family you contacted in America this time is the wealthiest family in the world, none other. What do you think Howard cares about most right now?"
Ye Chen said: "What he cares about most is naturally his lifespan."
As he spoke, Ye Chen asked again: "Miss Lin's meaning is, Meng Changsheng laid this trap also for longevity?!"
Lin Wan'er nodded and said seriously: "Father said that Master is actually a person with extremely indifferent material and emotional desires. Whether it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty or the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, he had the ability to ask for the supreme position, but he didn't care about secular interest disputes at all. The only thing he cared about was longevity."
Ye Chen agreed: "I don't know much about him, but through some anecdotes I learned, I can also infer that this person is indeed obsessed with longevity. It's just, shouldn't he have died hundreds of years ago?"
Lin Wan'er said: "I dare not make presumptuous inferences about Master's life and death, but I can be sure that Master laid this trap full of conspiracies because he needed someone with a Rising Dragon Grid like Young Master to help him achieve his goal of longevity. It is very likely that he hoped Young Master would go to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and throw himself into the net. I guess this is also the reasonable explanation for why that fake nun stopped me that day and hoped I would persuade Young Master not to move forward;"
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "So, regarding this trap, I think there are two possibilities. One possibility is that the trigger time of this trap has timeliness, that is to say, it must be triggered while Master is alive to have significance, but Master himself didn't expect this trap to be delayed for so long, and until he died, he didn't meet anyone who could trigger it. Even this trap waited until Young Master's father discovered the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra Preface' to officially open. If so, the Ten Thousand Great Mountains shouldn't pose any substantial threat to Young Master;"
Having said this, Lin Wan'er's tone became solemn, and she continued: "The other possibility is that Master knew this trap didn't know when it would be triggered, but for him, it doesn't matter when it is triggered, as long as it is triggered. If so, then Master... probably hasn't died yet!"
"Hasn't died yet?" Ye Chen frowned and asked her: "If he hasn't died yet, then he should have mastered the way to increase his lifespan from one thousand years to longer. And if he hasn't died, his strength in this world should be countless times stronger than me and Wu Feiyan. Why bother to be silent in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains for so many years?"
As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "In other words, if he needs me, a person with a Rising Dragon Grid, to do something for him, he can directly come to find me. There is no need to rack his brains to lead me there."
Lin Wan'er thought for a while and asked Ye Chen: "Young Master, think about the experience of the Mother of Pu Tea. For more than three hundred years, I have always felt that she had long since vanished in that heavenly tribulation, but I never thought that she had her own way to retain a glimmer of life for herself. Her life is like a seed that is forever silent. If she hadn't encountered that spring rain belonging to her, she could be silent in the soil for one hundred years, one thousand years, or even ten thousand years. But once that rain falls, she can be reborn and break through the soil."
Having said this, Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen, and the two looked at each other, muttering: "Young Master, I feel that Master also has his way to keep his glimmer of life silent in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains like the Mother of Pu Tea. Once the spring rain he wants falls, he can also be reborn like the Mother of Pu Tea, and Young Master is the spring rain he is waiting for..."
Ye Chen looked at the Mother of Pu Tea. In the sunlight, although that branch was still very slender, it was already much stronger than when it first broke through the soil. Just at this moment, a curled tender bud slowly opened in the sunlight, revealing an even smaller and more tender new bud inside.
Ye Chen's heart suddenly had a clear feeling of falling, and he was secretly nervous and panicked.
Lin Wan'er suddenly held Ye Chen's hand and asked with some horror: "Does Young Master still remember what you said to me on the day you fought with Changsheng Earl?"
Ye Chen nodded: "Naturally, I remember."
Lin Wan'er said: "Young Master once told me that before Changsheng Earl opened his Mud Pill Palace, did he say that even if Young Master destroyed his physical body, it didn't matter, he could change to another physical body to find Young Master for revenge?"
Ye Chen nodded: "That's right, he did say that."
Lin Wan'er asked anxiously: "Does Young Master think that there is really such an evil technique of seizing a physical body in this world?!"
Ye Chen was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Although I haven't come into contact with any related techniques, I think the possibility of such techniques existing is very high. After looking inside, you can find that people are actually no different from mobile phones and computers. The body is the hardware, and the brain, or consciousness, is the software. Changing a person's consciousness to another person's body is like buying a second-hand mobile phone. As long as all the data is migrated over and the original data of that mobile phone is replaced, it can be realized in theory."
Lin Wan'er said: "If before the hardware of a mobile phone is completely broken, the data is retained, and then a suitable mobile phone is found, the former can realize resurrection in theory. And when Master's one-thousand-year limit is approaching, he might not find the opportunity to let himself continue to live, but he has his way to retain his consciousness, and then wait for a suitable physical body to appear."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "Seizing a body should be a very harsh thing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let himself be silent for so many years. Before he died, he could have completely seized his father's body. For someone like him who is thinking about longevity, seizing a body shouldn't be for surviving, but for being able to overthrow his own thousand-year cultivation path and find a better starting point to start over. If he hastily finds a mediocre body, he might not even be able to catch up with his previous height. So, he not only needs a physical body to be reborn, but also needs a physical body that is strong enough, a physical body strong enough to give him a chance to challenge the heavens!"
Ye Chen exhaled heavily and said: "So... what he needs is a physical body with a Rising Dragon Grid?"
Lin Wan'er hurriedly nodded: "Yes, I think this logic is reasonable, and it also happens to echo what that fake nun said. She said that everyone can go to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, except Young Master, and she also said that that person is much more terrifying than Wu Feiyan. Now it seems that the person she was talking about is Master, and the one he has been waiting for in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains is Young Master!"
Ye Chen also accepted this speculation and gritted his teeth: "What a Meng Changsheng! I have seen people who raise Gu, but this is the first time I, Ye Chen, have heard of someone who throws a drift bottle to raise Gu!"
After speaking, Ye Chen added: "Since we have already seen through his wishful thinking, does that mean that as long as we never step into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he will have to wait there endlessly?"
Lin Wan'er agreed: "I think so too!"
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Good, then from now on, I won't go near the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. If it weren't for that fake nun's reminder before,
Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Then what is the first thing the young master intends to do?"
Ye Chen replied truthfully: "Naturally, it is to properly organize his 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique'. This should be his truly meaningful cultivation heart technique. If I want to open the Niwan Palace, I am afraid that for now, I can only rely on this heart technique."
Lin Wan'er nodded, picked up the first section of the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique', and read it carefully for a moment before saying: "My father once desperately wanted me to attain the Dao, but I am truly not the material for it. After failing repeatedly, my father gave up on this idea. At that time, my father once taught me a heart technique, which I had also memorized by heart over three hundred years ago. Although so many years have passed, I can be certain that its content is almost identical to what is written here."
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "However, my father said that the Master once told him and Wu Feiyan that this heart technique had no name; it was just the insights he had summarized from years of cultivation. It was my father who felt that the Master's lifelong learning should not be without a name, so he named it the 'Longevity Formula' after the Master."
Ye Chen sighed: "It seems Meng Changsheng kept quite a lot from your father and Wu Feiyan, not even telling them the name of the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique'. Since they didn't know about the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique', they must not know about the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' or the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' either."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen could not help but feel lingering fear: "Back then, because I was grateful for the tremendous changes the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' brought me, I renamed Wei Pharmaceuticals to Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals. I was full of sincerity at the time, but now it seems there are endless hidden dangers... If Wu Feiyan ever learns of the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique', Nine Mysteries Pharmaceuticals will be at risk of being targeted by her..."
Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement, then asked Ye Chen with some trepidation: "Then does the young master intend to cultivate the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique'?"
Ye Chen said sincerely: "For my current situation, a systematic cultivation heart technique is my greatest opportunity to improve my strength. The fact that Wu Feiyan was able to open her Niwan Palace over a hundred years ago proves that if this heart technique is cultivated to a certain realm, it will definitely be able to open the Niwan Palace. For me, this is a rare and excellent opportunity..."
Having said this, Ye Chen's expression showed a hint of worry as he began: "But reason tells me that the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' is the true bait, and the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' is an encyclopedia missing its core content. For the sake of caution, I cannot trust any content within the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface'."
Lin Wan'er nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I think the same as the young master; not a single word in the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' can be trusted!"
