Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.120 - Everything Will Change

"It seems that I can't hide it much longer.." Dou Huang let out a long sigh as he shook his head slowly.

Thanks to Feng Bian's previous remark, Fu Chen was finally able to understand the reason why Dou Huang did not want to explain everything in detail. Fu Chen was also surprised when he first heard the Devil's name but after one day of rest, Fu Chen's mind felt clearer.

Fu Chen wanted to know more about his mission but Dou Huang immediately refused, Dou Huang wanted Fu Chen to take a close look at the information he received first, then after that Dou Huang would explain Fu Chen's mission as time went on.

After a few days of pondering over the information in his head, Fu Chen's demeanor looked more mature. Dou Huang suspected the change was due to the memories Fu Chen had received.

The terrifying image that kept ringing in Fu Chen's head seemed to have opened his eyes, about how vile and naive human nature was.

Fu Chen closed his eyes, in retrospect, the existence of the Black and White streams felt like a child's play after he had received the memories of a Dou Huang.

Fu Chen had actually expected what kind of mission a Dou Huang would give, but hearing it directly still made his heart tremble.

Fu Chen's mission was none other than to stop the Devil who was likely to rise soon. The demon was still sealed to this point but there was no guarantee the seal would last any longer.

"Because it has come this far, I will tell you one more thing.." Dou Huang sighed softly afterwards, "Did you still remember about the other figure inhabiting your body?"

"Hm.." Fu Chen mused as he stroked his chin, "I remember, because there were always strange things that I couldn't understand before. Could it be that the strange sounds that appeared in my head back then were not dreams either? But how did you find out?"

"I've been watching you all this time, boy.The other person inhabiting your body is probably him, the Devil in your memory! Possible cause why your dantian is black is also because of its existence."

Fu Chen gasped in shock, Dou Huang's words aloof beyond his expectations. So all this time that horrible figure had always been nearby?

But Fu Chen also did not expect the cause of his black dantian was because of the Devil. But if it was rethought it was reasonable considering that such a thick dark aura emanated from the Devil in his memory.

"Then what about the history my father said? Didn't he say that the Black Dantian was a blessing from heaven so that the dantian got the nickname Heavenly Dantian? Is it possible that all of this is wrong?"

"Heavenly Waiting? Heh, that's right! The name was too high for a lowly dantian that was stained with demonic energy." Dou Huang shook his head slowly, feeling funny at the thought of humans who would casually give a nickname to something they did not understand.

"No way.." Fu Chen said softly, "While my father's forefather was very great and humble…"

"Maybe your ancestor managed to get rid of the demonic soul fragment inside his body, it could have happened as long as he had a strong mentality," Dou Huang said as he stroked his beard, he was quite curious about the strength of that person as it was able to defeat the shards of the Demon soul.

"Is that possible?" Fu Chen still half-believed.

"Well, you take it easy I will train you so that the Devil that dwells in your body is soon destroyed!" Dou Huang smiled widely as he pointed towards Fu Chen's stomach.

"So... To learn this martial book I have to pass the test you gave me?" Fu Chen asked, Dou Huang had previously explained, in order to defeat the demon Fu Chen had to learn the scriptures of the Gods.

The book is very great, Dou Huang believes that if there is a known world, great chaos will occur. It was after all that knowledge that Dou Huang used to seal the Devil three thousand years ago.

"That's true, but the test won't start in a cramped place like this! Well, this little fox-like creature's place of escape isn't suitable for living." Dou Huang smiled mockingly as he glanced at Feng Bian.

Dou huang moved his mouth with a mocking face. Feng Bian was provoked by emotion but his vow of absorbency was simply ignored.

"Well, the first thing you have to do is forge your body back. Although your body can be said to be perfect but it will not be useful if you are not trained. From tomorrow, you'll be taking my training."

Dou Huang smiled widely while squeezing both of his palms. Seeing Fu Chen who had the highest quality of bones and dantian made him want to torture the boy. He used to have to risk his life to get it all, but Fu Chen was really unfair, thought Dou Huang.

"Emh... Can I ask? I felt that there was something wrong with my cultivation all along, I mean. This dantian was too easy to absorb qi so that I could easily rise to the next level. That's why I don't want to be a combat general too soon for fear that something will happen…"

Dou Huang's forehead twitched, for some reason he was a little annoyed at the boy's chatter, "Are you usually this stupid? But take it easy, once your forging is complete then all the negative impacts on your body will be gone."

"Really... When will we begin?" suhut Fu Chen was short.

Dou Huang almost choked on his own breath, the reaction of this child was too calm for him, "Son, do you understand the forging intent of that body? Your body will be crushed to the bone and then put back together! And it will keep repeating until the process is complete!"

"I know, I read about it in a note. But the result was clearly comparable to the pain I received," Fu Chen replied with a gentle smile.

"O-oh.." Dou Huang scratched the back of his head which was not itchy, unable to understand the contents of Fu Chen's head. Could it be that there was a problem with this child after receiving a memory from him?

"Then you better prepare yourself, your training will start tomorrow!"

Fu Chen smiled gently then got up from his sitting position. "Thank you…"

"Huh, what for?" Dou Huang frowned.

"Thanks to you, I can find a new purpose. Well at least it's better than having to think of revenge on those bastards," Fu Chen still smiled.

Dou Huang chuckled softly, "That's nothing…"

Fu Chen stepped out his legs and approached Feng Bian, the meeting of the two was indeed less pleasant but it was this fox who helped him when dying first.

"Maybe you don't like hearing it too much, but I'll make you acknowledge me and take you to see the outside world, you'll be my partner for the future."

Feng Bian threw away his face and quickly wrapped his body around Fu Chen's words, "You better prove that you're capable, I hate people who talk a lot but can't prove anything."

"Sure.." Fu Chen smiled gently, "Then let me rest for today, tomorrow I will start from the beginning."

Fu Chen then left, upon reaching the mouth of the cave he immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. Fu Chen intended to calm his mind, the warm energy that entered his body was perfectly suited to clear his mind.

The moment Fu Chen had moved away the look on Feng Bian's and Dou Huang's faces immediately changed, they seemed to realize something.

"While his face was still smiling yet his heart could not lie to me, What do you think?" Feng Bian said softly.

"Well, his calmness only appeared on the outside while sadness, anger, resentment. I hope he can control himself and stay calm later."
