Chapter 292: My Talent Is…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the same time, in the Kunlun Mountains, there was a grand hall that stood on the top of a mountain.
Clouds and mist lingered around it, making it look like a place straight out of a fairy tale.
A white-robed young lady stood on the peak of the mountain. Her beauty was unique and mesmerizing.
This lady was Ji Siqing, who was hailed as one of the top ten geniuses of the Kunlun Mountains, the blessed daughter of the heavens, and one whose strength suppressed countless experts!
Beside her stood the bright-eyed, but eccentric Ji Lin.
“Did you see Ye Chen when you went out this time?” Ji Siqing suddenly asked.
Ji Lin nodded. She chewed on some bubble gum and made a big bubble.
“Sis, I really don’t understand you. What’s so good about Ye Chen? His strength is nothing worth shouting about and he has crippled mortal roots. Why do you pay so much attention to this kid? Could it be that you like him? That’s impossible. Any one of the geniuses pursuing you here is strong enough to crush Ye Chen…”
Ji Siqing ignored her words and continued to ask, “How is he doing out there? Did he find the person who killed his parents?”
“No.”
Ji Lin shook her head.
“Sis, it’s not that simple. I killed a few ants to get some information, but 1 reckon that the person who killed his parents has some connections with the top families in Huaxia. I originally wanted to go mess with those families, but you called me back all of a sudden. I haven’t had enough fun yet!”
“Oh.” Ji Siqing’s eyes were calm.
Ji Lin was a little helpless. She was about to speak when Ji Siqing asked again, “What’s his cultivation level? Is he still a soul opening realm cultivator?”
Ji Lin scratched her head, pondering the matter briefly.
“Sis, this brat’s cultivation has improved tremendously after leaving the Kunlun Mountains. It hasn’t been long, but he has already broken through and reached the qi transformation realm. If I’m not wrong, he’s only a step away from the sixth level.”
“Hmm?” Ji Siqing’s beautiful eyes were a little surprised.
“Huaxia’s spiritual energy is thin, so his cultivation speed should have slowed down, yet the opposite is happening. How is that possible?”
Ji Lin continued, “Sis, that isn’t the scariest part. There’s a huge strength gap between Ye Chen and me, but I can sense a strong sense of danger from him. In fact, if I use my full strength, I might not be able to kill him!”
At this moment, Ji Siqing’s calm heart seemed to be in turmoil. Her beautiful eyes rippled as she muttered, “Could it be that what that person said was true? Does Ye Chen have the power to reach the heavens?”
“Sis, what did you say?”
Ji Siqing shook her head and did not say anything else. Her eyes looked toward a huge peak that was covered by the clouds, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Chen had broken through and reached the sixth-level of the qi transformation realm. He was still some distance away from the seventh level.
As for Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue, their progress was unbelievably fast, and they soon passed the body tempering realm and advanced toward the first level of the soul opening realm.
Ye Chen was a little stunned. He had not realized how terrifying their levels of talent were, though they also had mortal roots.
Compared to ordinary cultivators, they should be much weaker. However, how could their cultivation speed be so fast?
One had to know that this process might take an average person a full hundred days.
However, the two girls actually completed it in two days!
This was really a little strange.
At this moment, the black-robed old man gave him the answer.
“What’s so strange about that? Kid, didn’t you notice that your cultivation speed is also increasing?”
“Before you lost your virginity, your talent was suppressed. Did you really think you had mortal roots? Ridiculous! If you had mortal roots, then there would be no spiritual roots in this world!”
“Do you think the Samsara Graveyard would choose someone with mortal roots to be its master?”
Ye Chen was stunned. He felt that he had caught onto something and asked, “Senior, by that you mean…”
“Why do you think they are breaking through so quickly? It’s because of you!”
“Kid, are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid? Even the Heavenly Dao can’t divine your fate. In that case, do you think the tools and techniques available in Huaxia or the Kunlun Mountains can do any better?”
Ye Chen was shocked. Everything was clear now!
Ever since he slept with Sun Yi for the first time, his cultivation speed had become faster and faster, and the spiritual energy he absorbed from the outside world seemed to have become much purer. He had thought that it was because of the Samsara Graveyard, but now it seemed that it was all because of his talent!
A talent that deceived everyone!
It made sense. After all, his mother had a rare spiritual root. No matter how little of her bloodline he inherited, it was impossible for him to have mortal roots!
“Senior, what exactly is my talent…”
Before Ye Chen could finish his question, the black-robed old man disappeared completely, indicating that he did not intend to say another word.
In the morning, Ye Chen got out of bed and looked at Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue cultivating on the sofa helplessly. It seemed that he had to make his own breakfast today.
Thus, Ye Chen had no choice but to make a simple dish of egg-fried rice and left some for the two girls. As soon as he finished eating, he heard a knock on the villa’s door.
When he opened the door, he saw Zhu Ya, who was dressed appropriately for the occasion.
“Mr. Ye, it’s almost time. If we set off now, we should be able to get to the event on time.”
Ye Chen nodded and informed the two girls. The two girls only replied with a soft ‘oh’ and did not say anything else.
Ye Chen was completely speechless.
It seemed that they were immersed in the joys of cultivation and breaking through, to the point that they even ignored him.
This was normal though. Back then, when he first stepped onto the path of cultivation, he was also extremely excited.
Not only did his body undergo a huge transformation, but the explosive feeling of power was thrilling.
However, after three days, this excitement was gone, and he became somewhat numb to it all. After that, it was perseverance that allowed one to focus on cultivation. It would probably be the same for the two of them.
Ye Chen went to the villa next door to take a look at Rakshasa. Unfortunately, his arm had not fully recovered, so Ye Chen gave up on the idea of bringing him along and went straight to Zhu Ya’s Bentley.
The car sped off in the direction of Medicine King Valley.
“By the way, Mr. Ye, the Medicine Alliance and Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department are in a cooperative relationship. There will definitely be people from Huaxia’s Martial Arts Department in attendance. This shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Zhu Ya glanced at Ye Chen through the rearview mirror, a little worried.
Ye Chen shook his head.
“As long as they don’t provoke me, I won’t touch them. But if they don’t know what’s good for them, then don’t blame me for what happens next..”
