Chapter 64: A Madman’s Reason! The Barrier Opens!
“This… this can’t be real!”
Fusu stood frozen, his face filled with disbelief.
As the eldest prince of the Qin Empire, he was second only to the emperor himself. Though he had made many foolish mistakes in the past, frequently angering Ying Zheng—
Everything had changed when Ying Zheng regained his youth and united the Qin Empire with an iron fist. Watching those Confucian scholars kneeling before him, confessing their manipulations and treachery, Even Fusu, as naive as he once was, had come to understand the truth. He had been nothing but a pawn for the Confucian school. Determined to change, he refined his mindset, earning the approval of many officials as a worthy heir.
Despite all this, he was not allowed to cultivate Ying Zheng’s immortal inheritance. That alone proved how precious such inheritances were. And now Zhao Min had just publicly declared that Bai Chen had gifted her an immortal inheritance. She and Bai Chen weren’t even friends.
Has Bai Chen been smitten by Zhao Min’s beauty? Or is it simply that He doesn’t even care about ordinary immortal inheritances?
…………………………………………………………………………………
“This… can’t be true… right?”
“Is Princess Shaomin lying?”
“How could Bai Chen just give away an immortal inheritance?”
“That’s insane!”
It wasn’t just Fusu. Even the other warriors and Earthly Immortals found this impossible to believe. To them, immortal inheritances were priceless treasures. The very idea of giving one away—especially to a stranger—was sheer madness.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“You really want to know the answer?”
Standing in mid-air, Bai Chen spoke calmly, without any trace of emotion.
He had already planned his answer in advance. He was far more interested in seeing Zhao Min’s reaction when she heard the truth.
“Of course!”
“I’ve been thinking about this ever since it happened!”
“If I don’t find out, this will become a heart demon in my cultivation!”
Zhao Min responded without hesitation.
She knew that Bai Chen was from the Ming Empire, while she was a princess of Yuan. For him to randomly gift her such an opportunity for immortality was simply absurd. Zhao Min knew she was beautiful. But even she did not believe her looks could make someone hand over an immortal inheritance, meaning that Bai Chen must have had some hidden agenda.
For some reason though, a part of her was afraid of the answer.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“I don’t mind telling you.”
“I left that jade pendant behind because—”
“I found it worthless.”
“The inheritance contained within is merely at the Spirit Refinement and Void Return Realm.”
“A cultivation technique at that level?”
“Not even worth my time.”
Bai Chen’s voice carried undeniable arrogance. But this was intentional. In reality, all immortal cultivation techniques had been created by him. And yet he was now deliberately belittling Zhao Min’s inheritance because he wanted to make everyone understand that the immortal inheritance he possessed was far beyond their comprehension.
…………………………………………………………………………………
Zhao Min froze in place.
Wanwan and Shi Feixuan also fell silent. They, too, had obtained incomplete immortal techniques from their inheritances.
At best their techniques could only bring them to the Spirit Refinement and Void Return Realm.
Even with all that, Bai Chen had just dismissed that level of cultivation as trash. A bitter feeling settled in their hearts.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“You don’t want it?”
“Then give it to me!”
“You’re from the Ming Empire—why didn’t you take it back there?”
“This is wasteful beyond reason! Even if you don’t want it, how could you just throw it away?!”
The warriors below were on the verge of collapse.
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined that Bai Chen would discard an immortal inheritance for such a ridiculous reason.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Then why did you choose me?”
Zhao Min’s gaze hardened as she pressed on.
There are countless people in the Yuan Empire. Why me? Surely there must be something special about me?
…………………………………………………………………………………
“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”
“I found that jade pendant in the Yuan Empire.”
“The inheritance within was beneath my notice.”
“And while I was there I happened to comprehend the key to my next breakthrough and ascended to the early stage of Spirit Refinement and Void Return.”
“As a result the jade pendant, to me, was completely useless.”
“So I simply left it behind in the Yuan Empire.”
“As for who ended up finding it?”
“I never cared.”
Bai Chen’s voice remained light and indifferent, as though he were speaking about something trivial.
But in truth, this was a carefully crafted lie. Not only did it answer Zhao Min’s question, It also publicly revealed his current cultivation level.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“What?”
“Early-stage Spirit Refinement and Void Return?”
“I must have misheard—this can’t be real!”
“Just how strong is Bai Chen’s immortal inheritance?”@@novelbin@@
As Bai Chen’s words echoed through the crowd—
Everyone was left in absolute shock.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“No wonder…”
“I felt an overwhelming sense of danger from him!”
“A cultivator at Spirit Refinement and Void Return could easily kill me!”
Yu Wentuo’s eyes filled with realisation.
From the moment Bai Chen appeared, he had known Bai Chen was powerful. But now he finally understood just how vast the margin between them was.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Spirit Refinement and Void Return…”
“No wonder he doesn’t care about techniques at that level.”
Floating in the air, Shi Feixuan finally grasped why Bai Chen had discarded the inheritance. A cultivator already at that stage had no need for an entry-level technique.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“This man… is even stronger than I imagined.”
Wanwan shuddered as she recalled the moment their eyes met earlier.
More than anyone, she understood just how terrifying Bai Chen was.
And if Bai Chen had only obtained his inheritance six months ago, his growth rate was absolutely monstrous.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“So… that’s how it is.”
A trace of disappointment flickered in Zhao Min’s eyes.
She wasn’t upset by Bai Chen’s strength. She just hadn’t expected him to say that she had been nothing more than an afterthought. And for some reason that bothered her.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“But don’t sell yourself short.”
“Not just anyone could activate that jade pendant.”
“For you to inherit its power—”
“You must have had some talent of your own.”
Bai Chen’s voice carried a hint of approval.
…………………………………………………………………………………
“Of course…”
This bastard is nothing like other men.
A strange light flickered in Zhao Min’s eyes.
For the first time
she felt an overwhelming desire to surpass him. And at that moment, the full moon rose into the sky. The barrier was about to open.
What do you think?
