Chapter 271: Beyond Repair, Chen Shisan at the “End Point”
Looking at the place where Mei Yongsi had disappeared, Chen Changsheng’s face was frighteningly grim.
Having meticulously arranged this plan, he never expected that she would still manage to escape.
“Why not? How could you let her get away!”
“How could you let him run away like that?”
“You shouldn’t have said so much useless talk just now; if you had acted directly, everything would have been fine.”
Seeing that Chen Changsheng couldn’t catch the enemy, Zhi Ze couldn’t help but start criticizing.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng gave Zhi Ze a cold glance.
“One person couldn’t catch him, how could I do it alone?”
“So I kept talking, because I wanted to buy time.”
“Do you really think I have the leisure to waste so much time talking with him?”
Upon hearing these words, Zhi Ze was instantly silenced.
At this moment, Nalan Xingde also came down from the sky.
Looking at Chen Shisan in front of him, Nalan Xingde happily patted his shoulder.
What was strange was that when Nalan Xingde’s hand touched Chen Shisan’s shoulder, the smile on his face vanished instantly.
“Thirteen, how have you been feeling lately?”
“I feel very well, I don’t know why, but I have a very clear understanding of my cultivation recently.”
“It seems you have had an enlightenment, truly something to be celebrated.”
“But now you are a master, after becoming a master, you should not casually fight with others.”
Nalan Xingde congratulated him verbally and then patted Chen Shisan’s shoulder again with his right hand.
What no one noticed was that a golden light quietly entered Chen Shisan’s body.
“Alright, the crisis has been resolved, you can all go rest now.”
“It’s been many years since we last met, you little ones must have plenty to talk about.”
“Xiancha and I need to discuss some matters, we will come find you later.”
Facing Nalan Xingde’s words, Chen Shisan glanced at the distant Chen Changsheng and nodded.
“Good teacher, I’ll come find you later.”
After saying this, Chen Shisan and Tianxuan left with the others.
After everyone had left, Nalan Xingde turned to look at the calm-faced Chen Changsheng.
“You still did it.”
“Yes.”
“Is there any way to stop it?”
“You saw the situation just now, you should know whether there is any way to stop it.”
Hearing these words, the usually refined Nalan Xingde’s eyes flashed with anger.
“Xiancha, you weren’t like this before, you’ve changed.”
“People always change, especially after experiencing certain things.”
“I gave him many chances, or perhaps I continuously gave him opportunities, but he didn’t choose another path.”
“I tried to trap him in the Underworld Forest, hoping he would wait until the matter of the Ascension Road was over before coming out.”
“But after seeing your bl**d-soaked battle, he still chose to swing that sword.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Nalan Xingde.
“The physical body is a very interesting thing.”
“When faced with great danger, people always burst forth with unprecedented potential.”
“That’s why some people can advance during combat.”
“I’ve been studying this situation.”
“I’ve been thinking, why can they only unleash their potential when faced with danger.”
Later, I discovered that this ‘protection’ is also known as talent, which determines the maximum power a spirit can unleash.”
“This boundary is a standard set under the condition of not harming oneself.”
Hearing this, Nalan Xingde pursed his lips and said.
“Therefore, Thirteen is the one who can break through this boundary, right?”
“Yes.”
“Breaking this boundary is difficult, even facing mortal danger may not be enough.”
“But Thirteen’s steadfast heart can open it.”
“Before entering the Divine Realm, Thirteen could occasionally break through the boundaries, but his body quickly sealed them off.”
“But Thirteen has already reached the Rebirth Realm, he has completed most of the journey in the Sea of Suffering.”
“His cultivation, his sword techniques, have reached a considerable height.”
“The physical body can no longer seal him, from now on, his cultivation will move forward without hindrance.”
“Even if you try to stop him, you won’t be able to.”
“Crack!”
Cracks appeared in the bricks beneath Nalan Xingde’s feet.
“What is the cost of doing this?”
“d*ath.”
“A person’s body is like a pool, the water in the pool represents potential.”
“Those called prodigies by the world are merely pools with larger outlets.”
“Unlike ordinary people, prodigies have large ‘outlets’ for both input and output.”
“Thirteen’s talent is lacking, I opened the restriction on his ‘outlet’, but I cannot do anything about the ‘inlet’.”
After hearing this, Nalan Xingde couldn’t help but clench his fists.
“Xiancha, why must you rush things like this? You have endless time, why are you in such a hurry?”
“I do have endless time, but things in the world won’t wait for me.”
“The attack on the Ascension Road must be completed in this life, otherwise the efforts of Wu Li and the others would be wasted.”
“If not, I could plan for ten thousand years and slowly prepare for this matter.”
“I can wait, but some people can’t.”
“Ziling, Gongsun Huaiyu, Ye Henchuan, Su Tian…”
“How long can these people I am familiar with wait? Or rather, how long can you, Nalan Xingde, wait?”
“Are you really going to wait until Gongsun Huaiyu turns into bones before finding her?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Nalan Xingde fell silent.
The battle on the Ascension Road was extremely fierce, some people have died, and some have disappeared.
From the current situation, Wu Li and the others haven’t been completely annihilated.
But not being completely annihilated doesn’t mean they are faring well.
It’s possible they are struggling somewhere, waiting for support to arrive. If things continue to drag on, they might really d*e.
Thinking of this, Nalan Xingde muttered softly, “What about Thirteen?”
“In your eyes, is Thirteen just a tool?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
“I want to treat him as a tool, but I can’t do it.”
“Can you make him survive?”
“Just survive?”
“Still can’t.”
“Now, every time Chen Shisan fights a powerful enemy, his strength rises to a higher level.”
“The ‘outlet’ of the pool keeps getting bigger and can no longer be closed.”
Receiving this answer, Nalan Xingde’s lips trembled slightly.
“Xiancha, you made this decision, Xingde has no right to judge you, because Huaiyu is also someone waiting for support.”
“Thirteen has few people around him, coincidentally, these people have no right to question you.”
“Bao’er has no right, I have no right, Meng Yu has no right, even Thirteen himself has no right.”
“But there is one person with the right, that is yourself.”
With that, Nalan Xingde left.
Watching Nalan Xingde’s back, Chen Changsheng fell silent for a long time.
