Chapter 648: The Second Sky Soul, Sima Lan: You look so handsome today.
Facing Su Yao’s words and the information obtained from Ye Hong, Jian Fei instantly guessed Sima Lan’s purpose for seeking him out.
“Alright, I understand. I will handle this matter.”
“You should quickly go into seclusion.”
After saying this, Su Yao chatted with Jian Fei for a while before returning to his room.
Looking at the token in his hand, Jian Fei hesitated but ultimately sent a message to Sima Lan.
After a cup of tea, Sima Lan appeared before Jian Fei.
At this moment, Sima Lan was not as lively as usual; she just quietly looked at Jian Fei.
After a long silence, Sima Lan softly asked, “Did you understand?”
“Just now, Ye Hong came by, and I lied to her, saying I am a ghost cultivator.”
With the conversation over, both fell into another endless silence.
For the sake of what might be an extremely heavy commitment, any casual remark could be significant.
“Su Yao’s talent is completely above mine, in terms of speech, cultivation, and appearance.”
“I know, do you have anything else you want to say?”
Looking at Jian Fei, Sima Lan did not force anything nor did she complain about her own difficulties.
What she wanted was only Jian Fei’s attitude.
Women often have acute intuition, and she clearly felt that Jian Fei had once liked Ma Ling’er.
At the same time, Ma Ling’er also currently liked Jian Fei.
However, liking someone in the past does not mean they will always like them, and Sima Lan cared more about the present than the past.
“My status is too low, getting close to me would add endless suffering to you.”
“I understand this.”
“In addition to my status, I may bring other kinds of pain, especially the kind that cuts deep into one’s soul.”
“I hadn’t really considered that, but I understand now.”
“So, is there anything else you haven’t said?”
Sima Lan’s gaze was piercing, and Jian Fei dared not fully meet her eyes.
“Buzz~”
The three famous swords in the sword case kept jumping, sensing that someone was undergoing unprecedented “restraint.”
They wanted to fly out of the sword case to cut through the restraints, but they didn’t know that Jian Fei’s experiences were beyond what these swords could cut through.
“Slap!”
He slammed his hand on the top of the sword case, and the three famous swords immediately quieted down.
“I have three swords, capable of cutting through anything in this world.”
“What if they can’t cut through?”
“The sword leaves no regrets, and there is nothing in this world that a sword cultivator cannot cut through.”
“No matter what happens, I, Jian Fei, can draw my sword for you once.”
Upon hearing this, Sima Lan’s face lit up with a radiant smile.
Facing the resistance from the sect, Sima Lan could fight back and try to find solutions.
But when it comes to such matters, if the man she likes lacks the courage to stand in front, it is too disappointing.
A man protects a woman not by his powerful cultivation, but by his willingness to shield her from the storms.
Though he did not know the details of Jian Fei and Ma Ling’er’s past, from others’ reactions, it was clear that their relationship was not too distant.
White moonlight can be devastating to men, and she does not expect to replace someone overnight.
She only hopes to gradually win his heart.
Thinking of this, Sima Lan smiled and said, “Little brother, you look so handsome today.”

“Big sister still has something to do, come visit me another day.”
With that, Sima Lan blew a kiss to Jian Fei and left.
After Jian Fei left, Ye Feng and Bai Li Changkong also stepped out from the shadows.
Glancing at the two, Jian Fei said without emotion, “Hiding in the dark to spy on others is very impolite.”
“Sorry, I got carried away watching and forgot to greet you.”
Facing Ye Feng’s words, Jian Fei did not give him a cold look.
“I can handle my own affairs, but I’m very curious about what you plan to do next.”
“Do you have the ability to resist the sect’s will?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Li Changkong smiled faintly, “People always find ways to solve problems.”
“Then I wish you good luck.”
“By the way, Brother Ye, have you ever considered making me your brother-in-law?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng’s expression turned colder.
“My sister is very simple and obedient. I don’t want her to become a tool for the sect.”
“You are indeed excellent, but following you would make my sister live a hard life.”
“Compared to you, I prefer Su You.”
“Friend Jian Fei has been progressing rapidly. It’s best for my sister to keep her distance from him.”
“Hahaha!”
“You take things too seriously. I have no ulterior motives towards your sister.”
Getting this response, Ye Feng’s stern face softened slightly.
“Let’s not talk about idle chatter. Let’s get to the point.”
“The Azure Dragon Sect and the Xuanwu Sect have fallen apart. Recently, don’t leave the base camp. The Azure Dragon Sect might send people to k*ll you.”
“This is naturally not a problem since Xu Yao and the others haven’t recovered yet.”
“That’s for the best.”
…
In a certain place on the Four Directions Continent.
“Amazing, how did you think of using the cultivation method of the Sea of Suffering to condense the second Sky Soul?”
Looking at the metal “glove” in front of Zhang Zhen, Fu Yao couldn’t help but praise him.
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng said calmly, “Back then, the cultivators of the Nine Domains self-harmed to mend their broken paths. That’s why I created this cultivation method of the Sea of Suffering.”
“The ultimate goal of the Sea of Suffering system is to uncover the potential within spirit bodies.”
“In this regard, the Sky Soul system and the Sea of Suffering system share a similar essence.”
“However, regarding the understanding of potential, both the Four Directions Continent and the Eight Desolates Nine Domains have encountered issues.”
“People believe that cultivators are like tools, and constantly filling them with water is akin to arduous cultivation, while awakening talents is like drilling holes in these tools.”
“But actually, this idea is flawed. The holes on the tools are not drilled by us actively, but rather passively appear.”
“Comparing cultivators to tools is correct, but I believe these tools are elastic and can expand infinitely.”
“As they expand continuously, the weakest points of the tools will first break down and create gaps.”
“And these gaps are what we call talents.”
Listening to this, Fu Yao nodded thoughtfully and said,
“This is a very novel theory, which explains why after reaching our level, cultivators find it harder to achieve significant accomplishments.”
“With increased cultivation, the tools and the rate of filling water grow larger, but so do the gaps.”
“Therefore, for people like us, even if we train hard, we only improve in destructive power.”
“On the exploration of potential, there has been no substantial breakthrough.”
