Chapter 931

On the second day of Zi Chen's stay at the ancient clan, Gu Xiude called for Zi Chen again.

When Zi Chen arrived at the room, Gu Xiude said, "Zi Chen, stay here for the time being. Don't leave."

"What happened?" Zi Chen asked curiously.

"You left a trail in the Heavenly Book World. Someone came out alive and told everyone that you obtained the Heavenly Book," Gu Xiude said.

"That's impossible. I killed everyone," Zi Chen said.

Zi Chen also asked the Devil Ape if he killed everyone. The Devil Ape also said that no one who chased after him survived. Because there were too many experts, the Devil Ape also used up a lot of rare items. As for body cultivators, they were of the ancient lineage, so it was impossible for them to be highly skilled.

"There's a sword sect called the Sword Ninja. He's still alive."

"It's him."

Zi Chen immediately thought of the Sword Ninja. At that time, Zi Chen didn't kill him, but he didn't die. He must have sensed that something was wrong, so he fled first and didn't chase after the Devil Ape.

"Those forces are looking for trouble with me. They know that I killed the spirits," Zi Chen said.

Gu Xiude shook his head and said, "They probably don't know. Because they're angry that they didn't chase you away and came to ask for the Heavenly Book, but didn't say that you killed the spirits."

Zi Chen nodded and said, "That's right. The Sword Ninja only saw that I obtained the Heavenly Book, but didn't see me kill the spirits. Moreover, there were so many of them, so they naturally knew that I couldn't kill them all alone. To be honest, the battle was very chaotic. I don't even know how the spirits of the Mu and Shui Clan died."

"You don't have to care about these things. Let us deal with them. As for you, just stay here and don't go anywhere. We'll talk about it again after this matter is over."

Gu Xiude said, "Whether it's a cultivation method or a skill, you have it all now. What you lack is comprehension. So, the most important thing is to comprehend it for a while and raise your cultivation level."

Zi Chen nodded and left.

After that, Zi Chen and the Demon Ape appeared in the large Martial Arts Practice Square.

Zi Chen mainly sat cross-legged to comprehend the technique. At the same time, he allowed the Heavenly Book to change his spiritual senses. In his spare time, Zi Chen would also move his hands.

Of course, Zi Chen would only show a few moves after he had comprehended his battle skills. However, these were all his own moves, and no one dared to spar with Zi Chen. On the day they came here, after he had taught the three of them a lesson, no one dared to challenge Zi Chen again.

These aboriginals appeared to be extremely pure and innocent. However, this was merely a facade. After interacting with them for a long time, one would know that they were extremely pure and innocent when it came to their own people. However, when it came to outsiders, they were extremely shrewd. Of course, even though Zi Chen had yet to meet any outsiders here, he firmly believed this without a doubt.

That was because the Ancient race had accompanied these Ancient race tribesmen as they grew up. They had their own arrangements for the Ancient race tribesmen as well as the Ancient race tribesmen.

For example, Gu Hu had stayed in a world filled with Tree Demons for eight years. Hence, his control over Yuan Qi was extremely strong. Other than that, the others also had the experience of surviving on the Ancient race tribesmen.

Their combat strength might seem insignificant in front of Spirit Bodies of the same level. However, if a Xiantian Realm warrior were to fight against them, they would definitely be considered a formidable opponent.

During this period, the Demon Ape had become very familiar with everyone. After suppressing his strength by 85%, the Demon Ape had defeated all of the Ancient race tribesmen. After being deeply impressed by the Demon Ape's combat strength, the others no longer viewed the Demon Ape as an enemy.

The Demon Ape's growth required constant battles. Hence, the Demon Ape would always look for people to spar with. He was considered a battle maniac.

As the Demon Ape had suppressed his strength and did not use the black rod, there were many among the Ancient race tribesmen who could fight head-on with the Demon Ape. Both sides could fight to their hearts' content for a long time. Hence, everyone was happy to spar with the Demon Ape.

As for why they did not want to provoke Zi Chen, that was because they could not find the thrill of fighting with Zi Chen. They would only be one-sidedly trampled.

During this period, Gu Xun and Gu Mei came once. However, when they saw Zi Chen from afar, they immediately fled. This caused a burst of laughter.

Gu Hu specially came to look for Zi Chen a few times. On the surface, he was asking questions about cultivation, but in reality, he was warning Zi Chen.

This was because after Zi Chen started cultivating here, Gu Yue came here more often. Moreover, when she looked at Zi Chen, her eyes would be filled with curiosity.

When a woman looked at a man with curiosity, it proved that she was extremely interested in him. This was not a good sign. Hence, Gu Hu wanted to nip this dangerous bud in the bud.

"Zi Chen."

This time, Gu Hu came again and shouted from afar. He was very friendly and did not care whether Zi Chen was cultivating or not.

Zi Chen opened his eyes and saw Gu Hu's mysterious face.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "What is it? Something good again?"

Gu Hu walked in front of Zi Chen and took out a palm-sized jade bottle. There was a hint of heartache in his eyes. He avoided the crowd and handed it to Zi Chen. He whispered, "This is my private stash. You have to drink it sparingly."

Zi Chen laughed when he heard this. "Your private stash? Your father's private stash, right?"

Gu Hu's face changed. He looked around and said, "How did you know?"

"Your sister told me."

Gu Hu's face changed again. "Gu Yue. It's her."

Soon, Gu Hu became alert. He looked at Zi Chen and said, "Why did she tell you this?"

Zi Chen opened the jade bottle. The aroma of wine wafted out. Zi Chen took a sip and closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment. This wine was indeed very good. Zi Chen did not know when he had developed the bad habit of drinking. Moreover, it had to be good wine.

When Gu Hu was extremely anxious, Zi Chen opened his eyes and said, "Your sister told me when we were chatting last time. She said that she has been losing wine at home recently."

"Chatting? You're still chatting? And talking about such trivial matters." Gu Hu was clearly anxious. This was clearly dangerous.

Then, he looked seriously at Zi Chen and said, "Zi Chen, are we friends?"

Zi Chen nodded and said seriously, "I've drunk dozens of bottles of your good wine. Of course we're friends."

"Good. Since we're friends, there's an old saying that one should not bully a friend's wife, right?" Gu Hu said again.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "She's your sister. I've never heard of an old saying that one should not bully a friend's sister."

Gu Hu was really anxious when he heard this. He said, "Then we're friends, right? There's an old saying that one's mouth softens after receiving gifts. You've drunk so much of my good wine. Shouldn't you help me? It's fine if you don't help me, but at least you can't harm me, right?"

"When did I harm you?" Zi Chen asked with a smile.

"You're harming me by having ideas about Gu Yue," Gu Hu said.

"When did I have ideas about Gu Yue?"

"You're still denying it? You've been talking about family matters. You haven't had any ideas."

"This is just a casual conversation."

Zi Chen patted the jade bottle in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't stay here for long. I won't have any ideas about Gu Yue. I'll leave after this is over."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Gu Hu was happy again when he heard this. He said that he was a good brother, but his face was soon filled with curiosity. He asked, "Everyone outside said that you killed eight Mortal Origin Stage Spirit Bodies. Is this true?"

"You actually believe this kind of thing?"

"Of course I don't believe it. You? Killing eight Spirit Bodies by yourself? At most, you can kill Spirit Bodies one-on-one. Killing Spirit Bodies? Stop dreaming." Gu Hu said honestly.

"Yes." Zi Chen was speechless.

"Remember what you said. I'll bring you some good wine tomorrow." Gu Hu walked away proudly. But when he turned around, he was bumped into by someone.

"Don't you have eyes?"

Gu Hu said loudly. But when he saw the person in front of him, he opened his mouth and exclaimed, "Gu Yue, it's you."

"Gu Hu, don't you have eyes?"

Gu Yue rubbed her forehead and looked at Gu Hu with dissatisfaction. She looked like she was about to explode, but when she saw Zi Chen not far away, her expression changed. She asked gently, "How is it? Does it hurt? You're already an adult, so why are you so careless?"

Gu Yue's gentle voice stunned Gu Hu. A warm current flowed in his heart, but before it could spread throughout his body, he saw Gu Yue walking past him and toward Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, do you have time?" Gu Yue walked to Zi Chen and asked gently.

Gu Hu turned around and stood behind Gu Yue. He stared at Zi Chen and pointed at the wine bottle in Zi Chen's hand. He seemed to be saying, "I've already given you the wine, so you have to be nice."

A girl standing in front of him talking to him, so he had to be polite. Zi Chen stood up and said, "What's the matter?"

Being stared at by Zi Chen, Gu Yue lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "My father wants to thank you for taking care of Gu Hu, so he wants to invite you to his house for a meal."

"Take care of me? Gu Yue, you must be mistaken. When did he take care of me? He even hit me back then." Gu Hu stepped forward unhappily.

"Gu Hu, don't mess around. This is my father's idea," Gu Yue said.

"What father's idea? It's your idea. Zi Chen didn't take care of me and even hit me. You can't let him come to our house," Gu Hu said loudly.

In the distance, everyone looked over with gloating and mocking eyes. However, they all stood far away, and no one dared to step forward to watch the show.

Zi Chen looked embarrassed and said, "I'm really sorry. Recently, I feel like I'm about to break through, so I need to cultivate. How about another day?"

Gu Hu was pestering her endlessly, so Gu Yue could only say dejectedly, "Alright then."

Gu Yue walked away dejectedly, but Gu Hu gave Zi Chen a grateful look and then chased after Gu Yue. From afar, Zi Chen heard Gu Hu's voice, "Gu Yue, did you cook something good? Zi Chen doesn't appreciate it. It's fine if he doesn't want to go, but we don't care. Let's go, I'll accompany you back to eat."

Zi Chen blushed with shame when he heard that he was betrayed just like that.

Looking at the wine bottle in his hand, Zi Chen smiled and took a sip before leaving the plaza.

Zi Chen didn't go into seclusion. It was useless for him to go into seclusion now. He needed to comprehend. Whether it was Xiantian techniques or his own origin force realm, he needed to comprehend. This kind of comprehension wasn't something that could be solved by seclusion. He needed to walk more, see more, calm his heart, and wait for the right time.

Sometimes, he would leave this place and stay beside a mountain stream for half a day to listen to the sound of rushing water. Sometimes, he would stop beside a small stream to listen to the gurgling of water.

Watching the sunset and sunrise, Zi Chen stopped cultivating and spent his days sightseeing.

However, his realm didn't fall behind. On the contrary, it was faster than when he was cultivating in seclusion.

Zi Chen's origin force in Abdomen had completely transformed into perfect origin force during this period of time. As for his spiritual senses, they still needed some time to transform.

After staying in this world for a few months, Zi Chen finally felt a change in his state of mind and his realm.
