Chapter 451 - 461: The Fortune of the Celestial Profound Sect

Wen Qingye returned to his Cave Mansion and immediately entered a state of cultivation.

His injuries weren’t exactly severe, but they weren’t light either. With the power of the Longevity Technique, he would probably be fully healed within five days.

At this moment, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Destruction Third Heaven, and he was just a hair’s breadth away from a breakthrough.

The Longevity Technique circulated continuously. Vibrant Primordial Qi nearly materialized as it surged madly toward Wen Qingye. One Great Circulation, two Great Circulations...

Time flowed on, and a night passed in the blink of an eye.

"Almost there."

Wen Qingye slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Now, I’ll practice the Bursting Law."

After getting himself in order, Wen Qingye walked out of his Cave Mansion.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow.

’Someone’s here!’ the Ice Python said in Wen Qingye’s Sea of Consciousness, its tongue flicking.

’I know. Ignore her.’

Wen Qingye acted as if he hadn’t noticed anything. Feigning nonchalance, he headed for Jin the Third’s grove, which was known to be extremely safe.

Whether they were from Life Peak or not, almost no one ever went there. Wen Qingye was starting to grow curious about Jin the Third’s identity. ’Just who is this person?’

Mo Qing watched Wen Qingye emerge with the Bladeless Heavy Sword on his back, so excited she nearly leaped out of her hiding spot. She quickly forced herself to calm down, holding her breath and muttering to herself, ’That bastard, he’s finally out. I’ve been waiting for so long! I’m going to get a good look at him and figure out his secrets. How does he cultivate so fast? And is he really not afraid of death?’

Mo Qing had been staking out Wen Qingye’s Cave Mansion since early morning. She was incredibly curious: how could this man, who was clearly from a small, borderland country, suddenly rise like a comet and outshine all the geniuses of the Four Great Ancient Countries?

Her curiosity about Wen Qingye was boundless.

Before long, Wen Qingye arrived at the small grove.

VMMMM!

Wen Qingye abruptly drew Bladeless and swept it fiercely toward the distance.

SWOOSH!

A massive Sword Aura erupted from the edge of his blade, raging into the distance. It was imbued with the Bursting Law.

BANG!

The Sword Aura cut through the air, only to explode prematurely.

From a distance, Mo Qing nearly choked on her laughter. ’Isn’t that the Bursting Law from the Dao of Profound Destruction? Wen Qingye’s execution is pathetic. It looks like he hasn’t even reached the First Layer of the Human Dao.’

Of course, she recognized the Law Wen Qingye was using at a glance; she could use it herself, and far better than he could.

Wen Qingye watched the Sword Aura detonate in the distance, pondered for a moment, and then continued to swing Bladeless.

Another golden Sword Aura flew out, its speed incredibly fast.

BANG!

This time, the Sword Aura slammed heavily into a boulder before exploding, but its power still seemed severely lacking.

Mo Qing clutched her stomach, on the verge of laughing out loud. She never imagined the genius who defeated Sheng Ao could be so clumsy.

"This Wen Qingye... some genius. He’s just a fraud," Mo Qing said, pouting.

But in the next moment, Mo Qing was stunned.

She watched as Wen Qingye swung his sword again and again. The Sword Auras he unleashed were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but they continuously struck the same spot. With each strike, their power grew stronger, like an infant rapidly growing into a crawling toddler.

All of this changed slowly before Mo Qing’s very eyes.

Moreover, his mastery of the Bursting Law transformed from utterly inexperienced and clumsy to remarkably proficient, all in the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Mo Qing covered her mouth, unable to stop herself from exclaiming in shock, "My heavens, each strike is stronger than the last. Is this his way of cultivating? This progress is way too fast!"

The more she saw, the more mysterious Wen Qingye became.

Wen Qingye’s progress was indeed incredibly fast, not only due to his astonishing comprehension but also thanks to the guidance he had received from Meng Yiyu the day before, which helped him avoid many potential pitfalls.

Time flowed on, and about a double-hour passed.

Bursting Law, First Layer of the Human Dao!

By now, Wen Qingye was drenched in sweat. His black clothes clung to his frame, revealing the taut, powerful lines of his resilient physique.

’He’s actually got a nice build,’ Mo Qing thought, her eyes practically glued to Wen Qingye’s sweat-soaked clothes.

She watched as Wen Qingye slowly sat down beside a tree, placing the Bladeless Heavy Sword next to him. His lips parted slightly as he gazed leisurely at the sky above.

"You’ve been following me for so long. What is it you want?"

There wasn’t a single sound from the surroundings, as if nothing had happened.

"Come on out, Mo Qing," Wen Qingye said with a scornful laugh, shaking his head.

Hearing his words, Mo Qing leaped out with a WHOOSH. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Wen Qingye, you knew I was here all along? Why didn’t you say anything? Were you just trying to make a fool of me?"

Wen Qingye shrugged and retorted, "Why would I say anything?"

"You! You bastard!" Mo Qing’s chest heaved, so angry she was speechless.

Wen Qingye remained leaning where he was, not saying a word. He tilted his head back and looked at the distant sky.

’This Wen Qingye is actually ignoring me. Oh, right! I’ll just act like Yum Baobao.’

Mo Qing watched Wen Qingye, her eyes darting. She walked over to his side, copied his posture by sitting down and looking up as well, and said, "Brother Wen, what are you looking at?"

"The sky," Wen Qingye said flatly.

Mo Qing also tilted her head back, saying with some confusion, "What’s so interesting about the sky?"

Wen Qingye said, expressionless, "The fortune of the Celestial Profound Sect."

Mo Qing said, finding it hard to believe, "You can see the fortune of my Celestial Profound Sect?"

Wen Qingye’s eyes grew profound. He said faintly, "Thirty years ago, the Celestial Profound Sect’s fortune was severed. I don’t know the reason. It’s something that has been puzzling me lately."

Before he went to the Main Peak, Wen Qingye had perceived a hint about the Celestial Profound Sect’s fortune from within the vast, misty nothingness. It was possible he had been mistaken, but it was also possible that what he saw was real.

Even now, Wen Qingye didn’t dare to be certain. After all, his cultivation was still insufficient to deduce the fate of an entire Sect.

"Brother Wen, you must be tired. Let me give you a massage."

’What Wen Qingye was saying sounded like complete nonsense. The Celestial Profound Sect was the second-greatest sect in the Eastern Profound Domain. It was so powerful; how could its fortune just be severed so suddenly?’

Wen Qingye stood up abruptly, dodging Mo Qing’s small hand, and said coolly, "Stop following me. I don’t have time to play games with you. I have things to do."

With that, Wen Qingye ignored Mo Qing’s suddenly changed expression, walked into the distance, and disappeared into the grove.

"You bastard, Wen Qingye!"

Mo Qing was stunned. ’When had she ever deigned to treat someone this way, only for them to completely rebuff her?’

She didn’t snap out of it until long after Wen Qingye had left.

In the end, only Mo Qing’s shrill scream remained in the woods, startling all the birds into flight.
