Into The Sky

In the evening, on the way back, Xu Chen bumped into Su Xiao Yue, who had come looking for him.

"Xu Chen, where did you go?" Su Xiaoyue could see Xu Chen from afar. She was panting as she jogged over.

"He couldn't have really gone to the Resurrection Lily?" Su Xiao Yue asked.

"Yes, he went to the Resurrection Lily." Xu Chen calmly replied. He did not say anything else.

When Xu Chen left, Su Xiaoyue had already guessed it. She was worried that Xu Chen would be injured, so she caught up to him shortly after he came out.

However, seeing Xu Chen safe and sound, Su Xiaoyue knew her worries were unnecessary.

"Tell me, what did you do? Did you hit her, or did you get beaten?" Su Xiao Yue asked curiously.

"No, if you're beaten up and it seems impossible for you to come out, then you're the one who beat him up, right?" Su Xiao Yue thought for a while before replying.

Hearing this, Xu Chen smiled and shook his head. He did not refute or agree.

"Xu Chen, say something! To think that I was so worried about you, how heartless!" Su Xiao Yue was a little angry.

"You already guessed it. What do you want me to say?" Xu Chen said helplessly.

"Xu Chen, I've heard that even though that thug from the Resurrection Fragrance Pavilion is a martial artist without even a cultivation level, he isn't someone an ordinary person can deal with."

"From the looks of it, you don't seem like a person who cultivates martial arts. Are you cultivating the path of a saint, or are you cultivating the Divine Veins?" Su Xiaoyue asked with a hint of gossip.

"I can't train." What Xu Chen said was the truth, and it was also a lie, because no one would believe the truth.

If there were people who believed that there would be trouble, it wasn't because Xu Chen didn't believe Su Xiao Yue. It was just that Xu Chen didn't want any trouble, nor did he want to trouble Su Xiao Yue.

"Tsk, I don't believe it!" Su Xiaoyue put her hands together and said, "If you don't know how to cultivate, you'll be beaten to death by that idiot from the Resurrection Lily Restaurant."

"If you get killed, I'll bury you again." Speaking of which, Su Xiaoyue remembered that she still wanted to ask Xu Chen for the funeral expenses.

"Oh right, Xu Chen, you're still alive! Buried your money, you have to give it to me!" Su Xiaoyue asked Xu Chen.

"Don't worry, I will give it to you. Don't you want to go to the Eastern Divine Region?" Xu Chen said, "Wait until your smoking wound recovers. I'll bring you along. I'll pay the Eastern Xuan Coins. How about it? How about the reward I'll give you?"

"You're taking me with you?" Su Xiaoyue stared at Xu Chen.

"Are you for real? Do you have that many Eastern Xuan Coins?" Su Xiaoyue asked Xu Chen in disbelief.

"Don't worry." Xu Chen affirmed.

"Are you sure? It's not a small number!" When Su Xiaoyue saw Xu Chen's serious expression, she had already forcefully suppressed the joy in her heart!

"I'm sure." Xu Chen couldn't stand being annoyed any longer and nodded his head.

"Great!" Su Xiaoyue jumped up excitedly in front of Xu Chen and asked, "Xu Chen, do you know?"

"My biggest wish in this life is to go to the Eastern Divine Region and learn martial arts!"

"Why must we go to the Eastern Divine Region?" Xu Chen asked doubtfully, "Isn't it the same in the Northern Lands, the Northern Rivers, and the Central Region? Could it be because the Eastern Divine Region is the holy land of warriors?"

"That's not true. You know that for people like me, without a family or a master, it's hard to cultivate." Su Xiao Yue said with a smile, as if she didn't care.

Xu Chen was slightly stunned, but he quickly recovered. In this world, there were too many people who were like Su Xiao Yue.

For example, the knife-scarred burly man who had returned to the Fragrance Inn, and the ordinary people of the East Xuan Continent.

They could all cultivate martial arts, but they didn't have a cultivation method. If they used the most common cultivation method to cultivate, then it would be very difficult for anyone to persevere.

From the fact that the scar-faced man didn't even have a cultivation realm to give up, it could be seen how difficult the process of martial arts cultivation was.

Many people could bear the pain, but they couldn't bear this kind of mental torment and were willing to be ordinary people.

Actually, on the Eastern Xuan Continent, regardless of cultivation technique, godly technique, or martial skill, the reason why there were levels was all because the seniors of the cultivators had summed up their experience.

These experiences could help a cultivator increase their strength the fastest and most effective way in the shortest amount of time. This was also why there were different levels of cultivation techniques.

However, since it was a cultivation technique created by the seniors, it would definitely be passed on to his own descendants.

Naturally, it wouldn't casually spread out. Unless there was a fortuitous encounter, it was very difficult to cultivate as a person without any background.

Thus, Xu Chen knew how difficult it was for Su Xiao Yue to hide her indifferent smile.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Xu Chen said apologetically.

"It's fine. I'm used to it anyway. I just want to go to the Eastern Divine Region to adventure. I have more chances than this town or the Northern Lands, right?" Su Xiao Yue was an optimistic person, so she didn't care about those small matters.

"Oh right, Xu Chen, you are different from me. Why are you going to the Eastern Divine Region?" Su Xiao Yue asked with a smile.

"I want to travel. It's the same wherever I go." Although this was what Xu Chen said, he knew in his heart.

He couldn't stay in the Northern Territories, and travelling was just an excuse to leave there.

Because this was the Northern Lands, the four Heavenly Palaces such as the Sky Bearing Empire possessed great power and influence in the Northern Lands.

If Xu Chen had died, that might not have mattered, but he was alive now, and he would be alive in the future as well!

If Xu Chen were to remain in the Northern Lands, it was very likely that he would be discovered.

At that time, not only would Xu Chen be hunted down by the Sky Bearing Empire, but the people around him, such as Su Xiao Yue, Xu Shengyan, and the Xu family, would also be killed.

This was because what Xu Chen knew could affect the Four Great Heavenly Palaces. It could even be said to be a threat to the existence of the Four Great Heavenly Palaces.

Therefore, Xu Chen could go anywhere, but not to the Northern Reaches. It wasn't that he didn't dare, it was that he couldn't!

Apart from these matters, there was only one thing that remained in Xu Chen's mind. Today was the 22nd day since Xu Chen had left the Sky Bearing Empire.

Xue Sheng had once said that Xu Chen could live for thirty days, and after Xu Chen's eyes were healed, he spent eight days in the Sky Bearing Empire.

Judging from this, today was exactly thirty days old. That Xu Chen from the Sky Bearing Empire should have died.

Xu Chen's mood became somewhat heavy, but it could also be said that it was because he could use his own energy to change this fact, but he could not.

Xu Chen knew this better than anyone. From the moment he stepped into the 7th level of the Book Collection Hall, he was destined to be unable to leave this place alive.

If he truly did leave, then that meant that someone was going to die in his place, or else the entire Xu Clan was going to die in his place!

As a person who valued relationships greatly, Xu Chen's heart was filled with pain. However, he couldn't change his mind, much less find someone to confide in.

However, he knew in his heart that there would be a day when he would seek revenge for this justice. Not only would it be Lan Tian and Warm Jade, but it would also be those Elders of the Xu Family who had gone through these eighteen years!

In the end, there was still the person who destroyed his Divine Veins. Xu Chen would also be able to find him, but he hoped that it wouldn't be too late!

The two of them did not speak. Each of them had their own thoughts, and before long, they were in Su Xiao Yue's courtyard.

Just as he entered the courtyard, Xu Chen took out the jar of incense he bought that day from his storage ring. He suddenly asked Su Xiaoyue, "Do you know how to drink?"

He had read to him from the warm jade. Drunk could forget many unpleasant things.

Today, Xu Chen wanted to try and see if it was really like what the book said.
