Volume 1, Chapter 41: Self-Destruct Sequence Initiated

He repeated this sentence over and over in his mind. He began chanting the incantation again, gathering the spiritual energy from all four directions to converge upon Li Chengying’s chest, painstakingly reconnecting every severed point of his sword meridian.

Qiao Sounian sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixed directly on her face, denying her any chance to look away.

The logic behind Yin Suhua’s theories was sound, yet Baili Changkong found himself unable to formulate a rebuttal. Moreover, she was under no obligation to treat the He family; they simply did not carry enough weight to warrant a special visit from a Princess of Great Yong.

The crowd cheered with joy, stamping their feet heavily on the ground. It was the soil of the Vast Heaven Realm, and it felt incredibly dear to them. Bai Qi and Xu Moshan were even more moved; the sight of this magnificent landscape and the freshness of the air were experiences they had never known before.

Over there, Alan, who was in the middle of eating barbecue, was suffering greatly. He quickly provided Cui Yunzhi with a location, then slammed his foot on the accelerator and sped toward their destination.

But then he reconsidered, thinking that might be a foolish move. If "it" truly were so omnipotent, he would be wasting a precious opportunity to ask a question.

To reach the pinnacle of this world, the most important thing is to constantly seek enlightenment and forge a path of one's own.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and lightning danced like writhing pythons. A supreme pressure descended from above, and a latent sense of crisis shrouded the hearts of all living beings.

Hua Yin rested his chin in his hand, watching Gu Lan. He was in a wonderful mood, talking incessantly. He was clingy, manipulative, and deeply infatuated; as he looked at Gu Lan, he felt she was truly the most beautiful person in the world.

Xu You furrowed his brow tightly as he watched the scene unfold before him, unable to believe that this was truly something Li Jiaqi would do.

For Song Yan, delivering the crabs was merely an excuse. There was only one real reason he had come: Gong Qingchen.

She waited quietly outside for a while. Once she was certain the medicine had taken full effect, she pushed the door open. A soft creak resonated as she entered and closed the door behind her.

Ling Shimo poured a cup of tea into another vessel, rose, and handed it to Ye Tian, who was kneeling on one knee outside the screen.

Jiang Chen, dressed in a white shirt, casual trousers, and Adidas sneakers, stood atop the thunderous dragon—a sight as awe-inspiring as the bright moon—which made him appear radiant, mysterious, and powerful.

The voice was low and magnetic, yet to the Liu family and Mo Qingtian, it sounded like a death knell summoned by a demon from hell.

The two individuals the middle-aged man spoke of were both manifestations of fierce beasts and were among the Ten Elders of the Soul Hero Shrine. Every time Hei Qing arrived, these men would come to greet him.

Jiang Chen never expected that his trip to Mount Tai following a breakup would lead him to witness the divine miracle of the Nine Dragons pulling a coffin. Still less did he expect to be carried to the Big Dipper star field, embarking from that day forward on the path of immortality.

Before long, the man helped the slightly dazed Bai Fanglan into the car and drove off.

He made a special trip back to the Gu family home to inform Wang Guihua of the matter. "I can see you are quite busy, so I will take them myself. I will cover the cost, but I hope that when Sun Chan comes tomorrow, you will be the one to give it to her," he said, placing an envelope on the table.

However, when she finished her chores and brought her husband and children to the clinic, she found it had already closed for the day. She felt a pang of regret, lamenting that they had arrived too late.

Wang Yuduo felt a bit uncomfortable at first, but seeing that the passersby were only surprised and simply walked on, she gradually set her mind at ease.

Yingchun followed behind Ye Lingxi to her room, watching as Ye Lingxi sat down, calmly picked up the teapot to pour a cup of tea, and then sipped it with composure.

Mo believed what Yingchun said. Indeed, she had seen with her own eyes just how much pain Ye Lingxi was in; had it not been for that, she would never have let go.

Knowing that the Imperial Noble Consort and Lin Qingxue were plotting, she felt that every second she spent with Mu Li was time stolen.

Only then did Trina realize that there were actually people inside these twelve massive stone pillars! No wonder the vast temple had seemed completely empty, save for those kneeling beneath the stone statues.

"Boundary," a domain-type spiritual technique, requires not only an extremely high level of enlightenment from the cultivator but also places rigorous demands on their spiritual energy. Generally, only those who have reached the middle stage of the Imperial Spirit rank or higher possess enough energy to manifest a boundary.

Tuolei, wiping sweat from his brow, was terrified. Having just broken two front teeth, he ignored the pain and hurriedly rolled away, barely avoiding the tiger's bite.

Suddenly, a flood of memories poured into Yang Feng’s mind like a rushing river, as a vast amount of knowledge regarding Tai Chi swarmed into his consciousness.

"How do you know we have no grudges or grievances, and that we have never crossed paths before!" Xi Shuang did not waste words with him; she directly used the Sun and Moon Flower Mirror to reflect fragments of the memory.

Yang Feng nodded faintly, then expanded his divine sense, instantly covering the area. He discovered no strange phenomena; there was not even a trace of malice or resentment.

With her wedding approaching, Bai Zhen naturally suffered from some insomnia, tossing and turning in bed until the bedroom door was suddenly knocked upon.

At that moment, Su Jin’s eyes, which had been utterly dark, seemed to be illuminated by something, shimmering with light.

Shen Ruoying and Shen Ruolan were both stunned, their hearts filled with seething hatred for Baili Guo’er, the Princess of Qingyang.

Having witnessed the strength of Kurt, the group dared not linger a second longer. In a panic, they grabbed their clubs and, dragging the person who had been kicked away, scrambled to escape the alley.

Just as Tsunade was about to lose her temper, an Anbu member wearing an animal mask appeared beside the two, reporting the situation to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The reason it was described as a painstaking effort was that the ingredients and methods used in these dishes were absolutely nonexistent in this world.
