Chapter 253 The Secret Realm Is Opened and the Martial Arts Path Is Restored (5K)
Yellow Lake Villa.
Hidden and secluded, it is a natural refuge from disasters where few people come.
After Song Yang left, he handed the villa to Li Mo. After inheriting the villa, Li Mo dispersed all the servants.
After Su Chen left, Li Mo followed Su Chen's suggestion and led everyone to move out of the imperial city overnight.
No one knew about the silenced ruins. They actually moved to the mountain villa and lived a secluded life ever since.
The people living in the villa were all relatives and friends of Li Mo. After Su Chen appeared, they quickly recognized his identity.
Then, Hong Ming, Li Mo and others came after hearing the news.
"Master, senior brother..." Su Chen looked over and greeted each one.
After not seeing each other for eight years, Hong Ming and Li Mo not only did not age, but because of the many elixirs left by Su Chen, they broke through the realm, their life spans increased and they became younger.
Everyone was extremely happy to see Su Chen returning, and welcomed Su Chen in with joy and laughter.
Different from the gathering with Qiao Qiliang, the gathering with Hong Ming, Li Mo and others is more like a family reunion.
Su Chen's wandering heart gradually found a home.
The huge villa became lively, with bursts of laughter and laughter, giving Su Chen a different feeling.
The dinner was like a family dinner, telling the story of the changes over the years.
Hong Ming and Qin Xue accompanied each other and had a deep love for each other. With Hong Chen's consent, the two got married.
Li Mo and Zhang Waner have another son. They have both children and their life is complete.
The original Li Yue has now grown into a young girl named Tingting.
After not seeing each other for many years, I was not unfamiliar with Su Chen. On the contrary, I liked following Su Chen because I often heard stories about Su Chen.
Fang Rou's father, Fang Youwei, and his family also live in the villa, and he also learned about Fang Rou's recent news from Fang Youwei.
She is still practicing in the Xuanyin Sect and has become an official disciple of the Xuanyin Sect. In the past two years, she even came over specifically to visit Fang Youwei.
It was like chatting with Su Chen, chatting with each other.
Eat a meal very late, very late...
Su Chen temporarily stayed at the villa.
The carefree life made Su Chen forget about Mingxin and Wanyi Gong. With the company of relatives and friends, his heart became calm.
He finally understood why he no longer wanted to stay in White Rock City.
There, there is a feeling called loneliness that lingers in my heart.
Things got a little better after arriving in Dafeng City. The ordinary life with Qiao Qiliang temporarily dispelled this feeling.
It wasn't until he came to the villa that he completely disappeared.
Perhaps, this is the reason why he came back.
The days passed.
Su Chen seemed to be rooted in the villa, living a simple and fulfilling life every day.
The villa has fields, ponds, orchards... It's like a paradise.
Everything is self-sufficient.
Soon after, Hong Ming and Li Mo noticed something strange about Su Chen.
It wasn't because Su Chen stayed in the villa for too long, but because of Su Chen's strength. His energy and blood seemed to be inferior to even Li Yue's.
This made them unable to believe that Li Yue had just mastered the viscera realm, and his qi and blood were not very strong.
Su Chen's strength is enough to be called the strongest in Da Gan, how could his energy and blood be inferior to even Li Yue's.
The two believed that it was because of their low strength that they had such an illusion.
Until Li Yue asked accidentally.
This day.
Li Yue found Su Chen and asked with confusion: "Uncle Chen, I heard from my master and parents that you are very powerful, but why do I feel that your energy and blood are not as powerful as mine."
Staying with Su Chen every day, she naturally noticed the difference in Su Chen.
Unlike Hong Ming and Li Mo, she didn't have so many worries and asked as soon as she thought of it.
Hong Ming and Li Mo were also present, and they couldn't help but listen attentively when they heard this.
Su Chen touched Li Yue's head nonchalantly and said with a smile: "Your feeling is correct. In terms of realm alone, my strength is not as good as Yue Yue's."
He didn't elaborate, but his words were enough to cause Hong Ming and Li Mo to feel shocked.
"Xiaochen, what on earth is going on?"
Li Mo asked Zhang Waner to take Li Yue away.
Hong Ming took Su Chen to a remote courtyard and asked cautiously and seriously.
Li Mo didn't speak, but his eyes were full of worry and his heart felt uneasy.
Su Chen did not hide anything and simply informed the two of him about his experience.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Su Chen did not really lose his cultivation, but was a kind of cultivation process.
"So, you want to use the method of closed cultivation to understand the true meaning of martial arts?" The two of them are no longer frogs in the well. Naturally, they have heard of the true meaning of martial arts, but they did not expect that Su Chen would use this method.
"Yeah." Su Chen nodded.
"It's okay."
The two of them felt relieved and did not ask how Su Chen understood. They believed in Su Chen.
"However, Xiaochen, after you abolish your cultivation, can you still practice again?" Hong Ming suddenly asked.
He was a little worried, after all, this was the first time he had seen such a situation where he actively abolished his cultivation.
What if I can’t come back from cultivation later?
After all, he has never heard of anyone taking the initiative to abandon their cultivation and then come back to practice again.
Li Mo also looked at Su Chen and thought of this.
"Yes." Su Chen gave an affirmative answer.
His self-destruction cultivation was different from what the two of them thought. It only sealed the profound veins, rather than deactivating the profound veins.
After opening the profound veins, he can naturally recover.
As for restoring qi and blood, it's easy, just take more medicine.
However, Hong Ming's words made Su Chen feel worried.
That's behavior like this. Will it have any impact on subsequent cultivation?
Seeing Su Chen's worried expression, the two looked at each other, and Hong Ming asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Chen shook his head: "It's okay, I will be able to recover when the time comes."
As long as the panel is there, it shouldn't be a big problem.
After hearing this, Li Mo asked curiously: "Junior brother, can you still practice now?"
Su Chen nodded and looked at Li Mo doubtfully.
Li Mo explained: "I suddenly had an idea, don't you want to understand the various states of sentient beings and understand the true meaning of martial arts?
You have experienced high officials, beggars, and ordinary civilians, but it seems that you have not experienced warriors.
Although you were once a warrior, would you feel differently if you experienced it again? "
Looking at Su Chen, Li Mo continued: "I'm wondering if it would be helpful for you to understand the true meaning of martial arts if you practice again."
His idea was very simple. Anyway, Su Chen had high talent and fast cultivation speed, so he didn't care about a year or two.
If you practice again, you might gain new insights in the process.
After all, the true meaning of martial arts is a part of a warrior's training. He always feels that it is easier to understand it as a warrior.
Of course, this is just his conjecture. His cultivation level is not enough to reach this level.
I just thought of it at this moment, so I said it to provide Su Chen with a reference.
But having said that, even if Su Chen didn't succeed in the end, if he practiced it again, he would be able to find out what he had missed and fill in the gaps, making his cultivation even more refined.
There is no loss in emotion or reason.
Li Mo simply told him his thoughts. After hearing this, Su Chen fell into silence more and more, standing there like a wooden stake, and did not recover for a long time.
"Master, dad, what's wrong with Uncle Chen? Why is he motionless and silent?"
Half an hour later, Su Chen was still standing. Li Yue ran over, wanting to play with Su Chen, but was stopped by Li Mo.
She noticed something was wrong with Su Chen, so she asked.
"Shh, don't disturb your Uncle Chen, he is thinking about something." Li Mo hissed.
Li Yue quickly shut up, covered her mouth, and pulled Li Mo away not far away.
"Is Uncle Chen worried about his cultivation?" Li Yue asked in a low voice. She patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry about Uncle Chen. Yueyue and I will protect Uncle Chen when the time comes."
After hearing this, Hong Ming and Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry.
At this moment, Su Chen woke up.
"Xiaochen, are you okay?" Hong Ming and Li Mo saw this and stepped forward to ask.
Su Chen suddenly laughed a few times, shook his head and said, "I'm fine. On the contrary, I feel very comfortable now. Thanks to you, senior brother, I figured out some things."
The two looked at each other with confusion on their faces.
What the two of them didn't expect was that after that conversation, Su Chen only stayed for a few days before planning to leave.
After asking, I found out that it was Li Mo's words that inspired Su Chen, and he was ready to resume his martial arts path.
Upon learning this result, Hong Ming's eyes were like razor blades, which made Li Mo frightened.
If he had known earlier, he would not have said anything.
In this case, maybe Su Chen can stay for a while.
But he also knew that Su Chen would leave sooner or later, and Hong Ming didn't really blame him.
After saying goodbye to all his relatives and friends, Su Chen returned to the imperial city.
Since he was going to rebuild, he couldn't be too perfunctory. This time, Su Chen planned to start from all aspects.
Qi, blood, strength, and body are all considered.
And if you want to cover all these areas, you naturally need to find a lot of skills. It just so happens that there are many secrets of skills in the palace.
After revealing his identity, no one dared to stop him. Emperor Qian personally greeted him, took Su Chen to the palace, and entertained him warmly.
The current Daqian Dynasty is almost a hegemon among the surrounding dynasties, and no dynasty dares to compete with it.
Emperor Qian naturally knew that all of this stemmed from Su Chen and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
When he learned that Su Chen planned to go to the Sutra Pavilion, Emperor Qian didn't ask any questions and directly blocked the Sutra Pavilion, only for Su Chen to open it.
…
Guiran Mountain.
The mountain peaks tower into the clouds, overlooking the earth, like a crouching dragon, filled with an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
As far as the eye can see, there is a green area with ancient trees, spreading to the end of the sight.
From time to time, the roars of wild beasts can be heard in the ears, penetrating the void and adding a sense of chill to the vast mountain forest.
The area at the foot of the mountain was already overcrowded.
Today is the day when the Guiyi Secret Realm opens. All major forces from the Holy Yuan Kingdom gather together in a grand scene that can be compared to a grand gathering.
In the sky, several lights and shadows flashed across from time to time, descending suddenly with a unique and powerful aura.
"Look, people from the Ziyang Sect are here."
Like thunder exploding from the ground, as the unique scorching aura of the Ziyang Sect spread across the sky, the crowd below stirred up waves.
In the blink of an eye, the sun set and the light faded, revealing the ten figures of the Ziyang Sect.
One of them is an elder of the Ziyang Sect, and the remaining nine are the disciples who entered the Guiyi Secret Realm this time.
Naturally, what attracted everyone's attention was not the elders and disciples, but the figure that had never appeared.
Looking around, no one saw Su Chen.
Everyone looked at each other with different eyes, and the scene, which had been lively just now, was now so quiet that one could hear the drop of a needle.
The dull atmosphere spread, and everyone remained silent, just looking at the Ziyang Sect team blankly.
It lasted for a long time, and whispers surged up like a fountain.
"Su Chen, you're not here!"
"He actually gave up his spot in the Guiyi Secret Realm."
"It's really..."
Surprise, pity, ridicule, indifference, relief... it's all there.
At this time, a familiar figure stepped forward and broke everyone's discussion.
Jue Wuya came to Shang Shuo and asked coldly: "Su Chen, why doesn't he come?"
One sentence expresses the question in everyone's mind.
After nine years of absence, the former Shang Shuo has become more mature and steady, but what has changed even more is his strength.
Today, Shang Shuo has surpassed the three of Chang Yuan and entered the realm of Yuan Shen perfection, becoming a man of the hour in the Ziyang Sect after Su Chen.
With his cultivation talent like this, he is naturally qualified to get a place in the Guiyi Secret Realm.
After hearing Jue Wuya's words, Shang Shuo's expression remained as usual, and he just replied calmly: "Su Chen has his own plans."
"Are you unwilling to come, or are you afraid to come?" Jue Wuya sneered, attracting unusual looks from everyone.
Seeing that Shang Shuo remained silent, Jue Wuya did not give up and asked again, "Where is he?"
Before coming, he asked for news about Su Chen, but he only knew that Su Chen was not in Ziyang Sect. He left nine years ago, and now there is no news about him.
After not showing up for such a long time and without any news, in his opinion, there was only one possibility, that is, Su Chen failed to understand the true meaning of martial arts.
This was just what he wanted.
He has succeeded in knowing his intention, and by entering the secret realm of Guiyi, he can take the opportunity to understand the true meaning of martial arts.
When he returns, it will be time for him to seek revenge on Su Chen!
Jue Wuya is not the only one with such thoughts.
At the scene, there were many warriors who participated in the peak battle that year.
Nine years have passed, and they who were able to represent the sect and obtain the place in the Secret Realm of Guiyi are no longer what they used to be.
They are powerful and progress rapidly, and some are even just one step away from realizing the true meaning of martial arts.
This also made them want to see Su Chen even more.
To this day, they have not forgotten the shame that Su Chen brought to them. They are holding back their anger, waiting for it to be released.
Everyone listened attentively, waiting for Shang Shuo's reply.
But Shang Shuo didn't say a word and responded silently, because even he didn't know where Su Chen was.
"Yuan Wu is here!"
At this moment, a figure passing by in the sky broke the rigid atmosphere, and an extremely powerful aura arrived in the blink of an eye.
It's Shangyuan Palace's team.
Different from the past, this time there were only seven people in the Shangyuan Palace team.
One elder and six disciples.
In the past, Shangyuan Palace had nine places to enter the Guiyi Secret Realm each time.
This time there were only six, enjoying the same treatment as the other seven major sects.
And all this is because of Su Chen.
Yuan Wu naturally noticed the strange looks from all the warriors, and just snorted coldly, then turned his gaze in the direction of Ziyang Sect.
"Where's Su Chen?" After seeing the members of the Ziyang Sect's team, Yuanwu asked the same question as Jue Wuya.
And there was anger hidden in the voice, as if he was dissatisfied that Su Chen didn't show up.
After hearing this, the elder of Ziyang Sect said helplessly: "He didn't come."
Yuan Wu didn't speak, his face looked a little ugly. The scene fell into a strange atmosphere at this moment, and no one spoke.
The disciples of the Ziyang Sect who were in the center of the storm, although they were strong and calm, had an unnatural expression on their faces.
"I heard that there is a proud disciple in the Ziyang Sect named Su Chen. I wonder where he is now?"
A gentle but slightly majestic voice came, and everyone followed it and were suddenly startled.
"Eighteenth Prince!"
The visitor was wearing a yellow robe unique to the royal family of the Shengyuan Kingdom. His equipment was majestic and he carried an air of nobility.
Behind him, followed five young people with the same extraordinary bearing. Each of them had a restrained aura, but they could not be ignored.
This is the team that the royal family of Shengyuan Kingdom entered the secret realm of Guiyi this time.
"Reporting to the Eighteenth Prince, Su Chen has not arrived yet." Someone said.
"Oh? That's such a pity. I still want to get to know this person." The Eighteenth Prince was stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled slightly with regret.
Everyone had different expressions. They didn't expect the 18th prince to pay so much attention to Su Chen.
Suddenly, the Eighteenth Prince seemed to remember something and asked, "Su Chen didn't come, but did he understand the true meaning of martial arts?"
His eyes fell on the people of Ziyang Sect.
The elder of the Ziyang Sect shook his head: "Back to the prince, Su Chen has not yet sent any news back to the Ziyang Sect."
Hearing this, the Eighteenth Prince sighed as if suddenly: "That's it."
Everyone heard the implication, and their expressions changed.
Immediately, the Eighteenth Prince turned to Yuan Wu, noticed Yuan Wu's change, and said in surprise: "Yuan Wu, the aura on your body..."
After this reminder, everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Yuan Wu.
"The true meaning of martial arts!"
Soon, they noticed the completely different aura on Yuan Wu's body, and there were exclamations from the crowd.
They looked at Yuan Wu dumbly, but they did not expect that he would understand the true meaning of martial arts.
Yuan Wu didn't pay attention to the gazes of everyone, and said with a faint smile: "Yuan thought he was hiding his aura, but he didn't expect that the prince would notice it. Your Highness is indeed very discerning, and Yuan admires him."
After hearing this, the Eighteenth Prince shook his head: "It's also a coincidence, but I didn't expect Mr. Yuan to be so secretive and one step ahead of others."
"The prince praised me, Yuan has only scratched the surface of his understanding, but he has not truly understood the true meaning of martial arts."
Yuanwu shook his head and said that his family knew his own affairs, and the true meaning of martial arts he had now understood could not be called the true true meaning of martial arts.
At most, it is ninety-nine of those hundred steps, one step short of reaching the threshold of the true meaning of martial arts.
"Haha, Brother Yuan is so humble. I believe that Brother Yuan will be able to succeed immediately after entering the secret realm this time." The change of title means a change in the attitude of the eighteenth prince. The most difficult thing to understand has been overcome. With Yuan Wu With his talent, it is a sure thing to enter the divine realm.
Yuan Wu naturally noticed this, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile: "I would like to borrow your highness's kind words."
The two chatted happily.
Time passed slowly, and more and more large sect teams arrived.
After looking at the sky, the elder of Ziyang Sect took a step forward, and his voice spread like a wave:
"Time's up, open the secret realm."
While everyone is talking and laughing, the secret realm of reunion will finally be opened.
