Light Cultivation
Eps. 271 — Change Lily
After having breakfast with Miou Lin, Jian Chen went to the bridge of the ship to enjoy the sea breeze. For several days on this ship as well Jian Chen had always done the same.
It took him 6 days to get to the mainland of Lightning Dragon Province with a large ship of associations, the time he spent relaxing and also training while in the room.
The mercenary swordsmen hired by the Association seemed to have been used to seeing Jian Chen stand the bridge of the ship, as far as they knew Jian Chen would do so for several hours.
Jian Chen's eyes looked at the sea like endless, although it looked as if he was fine now but his mood state was being affected.
"Is all this because of me..." Jian Chen muttered softly with a breath that blew heavily.
All this time Jian Chen thought the Dragon Empire would be safe if the organization of the 12 Shio Hunters were to be wiped out, he was more optimistic when it had managed to kill the 3 among them but that belief was starting to falter now.
Yet he overcame the Shi'as Jian Chen had to deal with the conflict between the Empire whose scale was much greater.
In the first life even for the next ten years from now, the Dragon Empire did not get any attacks from other Empires.
But now everything has been different from destiny, it should be, The Qilin Empire that used to only consider the Dragon Empire a small Empire had now considered them as a threat when it saw the growth of the fast soaring Dragon Empire warriors.
Such a growth beyond reason alone could not be allowed to the Qilin Empire for too long or else the Dragon Empire would be able to match them or even surpass them.
The growth was due to the resources that the Miou clan's association had generated regarding its high-efficiency pills.
The pills were none other than the recipe Jian Chen had written on them, the same recipe that made the Miou clan Association so go up and down after selling them.
"If in hindsight all this was due to me, if I hadn't given the pill prescription to the association then..." Jian Chen sighed before shaking his head slowly. He consciously complained that his past deeds and decisions would bring nothing to him at this moment.
Jian Chen did not understand whether the existence of him living twice was a good or bad thing for his world right now. Although he had managed to save his clan but the problems that came were only getting bigger.
Jian Chen only sighed from time to time as he thought about it all, his mind felt heavy and hollow, his sense of everything that happened to this world was due to it meddling in his original destiny.
After looking at the sea that somehow felt so claustrophobic, Jian Chen returned to his room to rest. He did not understand but somehow he felt very tired.
"The evil is always there in this world, so is the good. Even if you cut down all the wicked on this earth, they will still be reborn, as well as good, even though evil is rampant, the good will remain to balance this world so that it is always in a balanced position..."
Lily's voice suddenly sounded in Jian Chen's ears, making the young man startled instead of playing while turning to the source of the voice.
Jian Chen was surprised not because Lily had woken up from her sleep but rather that the beautiful girl was standing before her eyes physically real.
"Lily, you... How did you get out?!"
Lily smiled widely, she was enjoying Jian Chen's shock.
"Hows it? You're surprised, aren't you?" Lily chuckled softly which looked cute and sweet at Jian Chen's gaze.
Lily started to move around Jian Chen's room as she floated flying around here and there, she looked enthusiastic when she saw the sea outside the window.
The girl continued to stare out the open window, looking out at the sea, feeling every gust of wind that hit her beautiful face and long hair.
Lily enjoyed the outside world after being confined to Jian Chen's dantian for several years, the girl was like a bird trapped in a cage and finally freed again.
After a few minutes of enjoying, he was then about to answer Jian Chen's question earlier but when he saw the young man, Jian Chen was instead looking back at him.
Lily's expression immediately turned cranky. "If you keep looking at me like that, I guarantee you won't be able to see again!"
Jian Chen grinned widely, even now he was still unfamiliar with Lily's beauty.
Actually the impression of Jian Chen on Lily was quite in the fingers, the girl actually had a beauty that was on a different level in women in general. It was hard for a man like Jian Chen to turn away from his beauty.
Lily has a sweet, snow-white face with a pair of red irises. Lily also has long hair that breaks down beautifully. With her combination of red dress and white skin, Lily was like a beauty goddess descending from the sky.
"Ehm! So how did you get out of my dantian realm?"
Jian Chen tried to change the subject so that Lily would not stare at him sharply like that. He admitted his mistake because he had seen the curves of the girl's body.
Lily snorted softly, "I used my power to get out of there."
Jian Chen frowned, not really understanding the girl's short answer.
"The bottom line is, I used to be unable to do this because of my strength which is still weak but after being in the realm of the King Realm, I was able to break out of your dantian realm for a moment by force like this..."
"How forced?"
Lily nodded, "You could say I need a lot of inner strength to get out of you, there's actually an easier way for me to get out without putting out my power with a little help..."
Lily explained that Jian Chen had learned a technique called the dimensional gate technique, Lily was able to come out of Jian Chen's dantian Realm as she pleased and also did not require as much inner energy as she now did.
Even so Lily in the outside world also had a certain time limit, after her time was up she would be sucked back into Jian Chen's dantian Realm.
The reason Lily now instantly appeared was because she wanted to try her strength, moreover she saw Jian Chen's mood was not too good back then.
"I'm not yet free from your dantian Realm, as I said, I need something in my world to escape from your green crystal prison." Lily folded her hands on her chest, ending her explanation.
"Then why don't you teach me how to open the dimensional gate if you want to quickly exit like now?"
"No way, my power must reach the King Realm to be able to exit the dimensional gate..."
Jian Chen nodded in understanding, this meant that if Lily wanted to get out of her dantian realm Jian Chen would have to activate the dimensional gate that the girl would teach later on. Lily also said she could get out of Jian Chen's dantian by force if she was in an emergency.
