Chapter 490
Youre leaving? asked a startled Tu Fang . Where are you going?
Even Long Chen was astonished . Ling Yun-zi said he was leaving . He didnt say he was leaving for a period of time . In other words
This time, Ive obtained a heaven-defying opportunity that has enlightened me onto another kind of Sword Dao . I want to go out into the world and see whether or not I can bring my Sword Dao to the pinnacle . Ling Yun-zi smiled .
How long will you be gone? asked Tu Fang .
This is what I will be pursuing for the rest of my life . If I cannot reach that level, then this life of mine will have not had any meaning, said Ling Yun-zi solemnly .
He had dedicated the first half of his life to his monastery . Now it was time for him to live for his own Sword Dao . He wanted to be a true sword cultivator, free and unfettered, walking to the ends of the world with just his sword .
Then what about the monastery? Will senior Cang Ming take on the sect leader position? asked Tu Fang .
Uncle-master has already brought his apprentice away . He said that until he manages to completely fill that little fellows stomach, he wont be returning, laughed Ling Yun-zi .
Now Long Chen understood why he hadnt seen Wilde during these days . He had already been brought away .
Most likely Cang Ming had also decided to strengthen his resolve and focus completely on raising his apprentice .
Right now, Wilde had become his entire focus . He wanted to raise Wilde into a supreme expert, and as a result, he had even left behind his forge . It could be seen how determined Cang Ming was .
So now that weve left, only you, Tu Fang, can be the sect leader, said Ling Yun-zi .
Me? How could that be possible? Tu Fang couldnt help being startled . He was still only at the peak of the Meridian Opening realm . Without stepping into the Xiantian realm, how could he take a sect leader position, let alone the position of the first monasterys sect leader .
Tu Fang, you are straightforward and upright , impartial and incorruptible . With your character, you can definitely take this position .
Furthermore, you dont need to feel any pressure . As long as our first monastery has Long Chen, then our position as the first monastery cannot be budged .
As for in the future when Long Chen leaves, the first monastery will naturally decline, and the position will be taken away . That just means our fate with that position has run out, and theres no need to fight over it .
First place cant always be dominated by one person . The cycle turns continuously; fortunes rise and fall . But thats what makes life interesting, said Ling Yun-zi profoundly .
Yes sect leader . I understand, said Tu Fang respectfully . Ling Yun-zi was telling him the cycle of the Heavenly Daos could not be reversed .
For example, they had constantly been ranked 108th . But as soon as Long Chen joined, everything had changed .
After experiencing countless dangers, after the suppression of both the Righteous and Corrupt paths, Long Chen had still soared, crushing the Righteous and Corrupt paths . The entire way, he had forced his way through a pile of corpses, bringing them to their current position .
Times change . Any of those who had vainly attempted to block Long Chen all ended up in extremely miserable states . Ling Yun-zi was using Long Chen as an example to direct Tu Fang .
What is destined to be yours is something no one can snatch away . What is not destined to yours is something you cant obtain no matter what, and if you try, it will cost you your life . These were the invisible rules of the Heavenly Daos .
Ling Yun-zi cared deeply about Tu Fang, and he didnt want him making the same mistake he had . He had ended up becoming too obsessed, ending up in an abyss of despair .
Long Chen, I know this monastery will not be your limit . Perhaps there will be a day when well see each other again . At that time, I trust youll be much stronger than you are right now, and much more domineering . Ling Yun-zi patted Long Chen on the shoulder .
The feeling of parting was always a sad one . All Long Chen could say was, Take care sect leader .
Ling Yun-zi smiled and then walked away . Long Chen and Tu Fang didnt move . They both knew Ling Yun-zi wouldnt want anyone to send him off . From today onwards, he would no longer have any shackles . He would be completely free .
The next day, news of Tu Fang succeeding the sect leader position spread throughout the entire supermonastery .
In all of history, only Xiantian experts had had the qualifications to be sect leaders . Tu Fang was merely at the Meridian Opening realm .
But each monastery had the right to appoint their own sect leader . If they felt they didnt have enough power, they were able to ask the supermonastery for help, and the supermonastery would send them a Xiantian expert to take the sect leader position .
Other than Tu Fang becoming sect leader, news of Ling Yun-zi departing the monastery to pursue his Sword Dao also spread .
That made countless people dumbfounded . Now, Ling Yun-zi had departed, and Cang Ming had brought away his apprentice to travel .
In the entire first monastery, there was not a single Xiantian expert . That caused countless people to feel greed . Many Xiantian experts from the supermonastery made applications to take the first monasterys sect leader position .
Those applications were all immediately rejected . The reason? Long Chen had said the first monastery didnt need any expert as support, because they were already strong enough .
That instantly caused those thoughts to die . Those people thought of how Long Chen had killed two Xiantian experts on his own . That made them all turn silent .
Once that matter passed, Long Chen had Tang Wan-er help guard him and Meng Qi .
Currently, his forehead was pressed against Meng Qis forehead . Meng Qi was completely red, as this position was too intimate .
Seeing Long Chen suddenly smile, and how his smile was slightly naughty, Meng Qi couldnt help rebuking, What are you smiling about?
He laughed, For Tang Wan-er to guard us as I take advantage of a jade beauty, it seems a bit strange .
What do you mean, take advantage of a jade beauty? How vulgar . Meng Qi rapped Long Chen on the head, turning even redder .
Alright, well since youre no longer so nervous, we can start . Dont worry, Ill handle everything . Long Chen had just been purposely teasing her since he had noticed how worried she was . Ill begin now .
After saying that, within his mind-sea, his Spiritual Strength began to roil, seeming like an angry sea as it rapidly circulated .
He continuously compressed his Spiritual Strength . He needed to condense a spiritual seed . If the Spiritual Strength was a tree, then condensing a spiritual seed was like going through the twigs of that tree . Then he would snap off that twig and transplant it into Meng Qi .
Condensing a spiritual seed was not difficult . However, even after condensing a dozen of them, he still discarded them, as those spiritual seeds werent strong enough .
Long Chen wanted the strongest spiritual seed possible for Meng Qi . That would be her future cultivation foundation .
It was extremely easy to tell how strong a spiritual seed was by the strength of its spiritual fluctuations .
An ordinary spiritual seed would take up one thousandth to three thousandths of a persons Spiritual Strength .
However, the quality of a spiritual seed was based on the skill and soul energy of the person who condensed it . Long Chen had even condensed several spiritual seeds that took up eight thousandths of his Spiritual Strength, but he still discarded them .
BOOM!
Just as Long Chen was starting to get impatient, his Spiritual Strength suddenly surged, and an immense spiritual seed appeared in his mind-sea .
Dont Long Chen! cried Meng Qi .
Dont make a fuss . Stay still .
Just like that, he inserted that huge spiritual seed into Meng Qis mind-sea .
Long Chen! Meng Qi couldnt help feeling distressed, and her tears even began to fall . That huge spiritual seed contained a full tenth of his Spiritual Strength .
As that spiritual seed left Long Chens mind-sea, he clenched his teeth and held back a pained groan . His veins bulged, and his body twitched intensely .
He was essentially splitting a portion of his soul, and so he had to endure the pain of his soul tearing apart . Even though he had long since been prepared, he still almost couldnt hold back a scream .
The pain of the soul could make a person go insane . As he did his best to endure that pain, he transplanted that huge spiritual seed into Meng Qis mind-sea .
As soon as he finished doing that, he felt as if the world was spinning around him, and he almost collapsed, his body drenched in sweat .
But looking at Meng Qi, whose eyes were now tightly closed, a smile appeared on his pale face .
Now that his spiritual seed had entered Meng Qis mind-sea, it had become ownerless . All Meng Qi needed to do was use her mind to connect to that seed, and she would become its new master, and it would become her new soul root .
To Meng Qi, that was something extremely simple, so he didnt have any worries . It would just take her a bit of time .
Right now, he was in immense pain from the tearing of his soul, and so he hastily activated the primal chaos bead .
Previously, Long Chen had already circulated his two stars to return the primal chaos space to a flourishing state .
The withered medicinal ingredients and trees had all been revived . Now, he drew on the primal chaos spaces energy to heal the injury to his soul . Those huge trees, which had only just revived, now instantly withered .
However, now he no longer felt as much pain . Unfortunately, it was unable to completely replenish the loss to his soul . But Long Chen decided not to touch the medicinal ingredients this time, as the energy within them was too little compared to the trees .
After advancing to the Bone Forging realm, he had received an enormous surprise . After he had advanced, the primal chaos space had gone from being three miles wide to thirty miles wide .
Now he could plant even more vegetation . If he managed to fill the entire space with huge trees, then his recovery ability would be shocking .
As for the patch of black soil, it had also grown by ten times . That black soil was able to devour flesh and turn it into life energy .
Unfortunately, Long Chen didnt have any powerful Magical Beast corpses . Otherwise, such an immense life energy would be able to instantly heal his soul .
Long Chen had already decided, after he handled this matter, he would find some huge trees, the bigger the better, with as much life energy as possible . If he could find some immense trees, then he would have access to practically limitless life energy .
Just as Long Chen was planning how to use the primal chaos space, Meng Qi slowly opened her eyes .
