Chapter 317: How did she find me?!
Chen Tian was now at a distance from the location where Yechan had just attacked him. His body was enveloped in a thunderous energy, and his eyes glowed with a divine blue light.
He felt like a god of lightning, as if he were one with it. His reaction speed was heightened to another level.
When Wu Ye warned him about the sudden attack, Chen Tian didn't hesitate and activated the lightning crystal.
A powerful surge of energy erupted from within him, allowing him to dodge the attack with ease. No one would have thought he could dodge that attack.
In a matter of seconds, Chen Tian traveled several miles with a single leap, moving stealthily to avoid detection.
Chen Tian could feel that he could use 100% of his lightning law without harming his body—no pressure and no limitations—allowing him to channel the powerful energy of the lightning law without restraint.
'But how long this feeling will last?' he thought. Since the last time he used the fire crystal, the effect on his body has been overwhelming. Now he was worried about the consequences of using the lightning crystal.
Unlike the fire law, his lightning law was already at 100%, so the probability of greater side effects was high.
However, he didn't have a choice. Using the lightning crystal for a boost was necessary to escape the watch of three Nascent Soul experts.
"I am really curious, how did you do it?" Wu Ye spoke, her curiosity getting the best of her. Without waiting for his response, she continued, "I mean, there's no way a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator can explode with this much power. It's unheard of." Wu Ye's eyes widened with amazement as she watched the lightning around Chen Tian.
The power of the lightning law forming around Chen Tian felt... refined. Like a perfectly formed sword compared to a jagged piece of scrap metal.
With her senses, Wu Ye could feel that the law was fully complete.
'No, not just complete, but it can also start its dao path,' she thought, realizing that Chen Tian's lightning law could advance to the dao level.
This seemed impossible. Laws, the fundamental principles governing the universe, were typically the domain of cultivators who were close to transcending the mortal coil and ascending to the Dao realm.
If the body was not strong enough to hold the power of the law, it could result in catastrophic consequences.
Chen Tian was just in the Foundation Establishment realm. His body wasn't strong enough to hold the full power of the laws.
Chen Tian didn't answer her question. The chaos core in his body was his most guarded secret. If anyone found out about it, he would be in serious trouble.
Even if he told people about his previous life, Chen Tian wasn't worried.
"…"
Wu Ye could feel the emotion emanating from Chen Tian, noticing that he didn't want to talk about it.
"Forget it, I didn't mean to pry into your personal matters anyway," Wu Ye spoke, knowing that pushing Chen Tian further on the subject would not be wise.
Despite the secrets he held, Wu Ye appreciated Chen Tian's willingness to help her, so she didn't want to make him uncomfortable.
The moment she sensed the other Nascent Soul attack, Wu Ye was already prepared to help Chen Tian and protect him.
Even if this place restricted her movement and abilities, she was determined to do whatever it took to keep Chen Tian safe.
He was her last hope of returning to her home, and she couldn't afford to lose him now.
"Thank you," Chen Tian muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible in the tense atmosphere.
"I've been wanting to ask this for a while, but we never had the chance. Can you please tell me more about the nine heavens?" Chen Tian suddenly asked.
He was curious about the world, how much time had passed since his death, the aftermath of his fight against all those powerhouses, and whether that bastard of a friend had died.
Many questions raced through his mind as he wanted to know more.
Wu Ye was taken aback by Chen Tian's sudden question, but she didn't hesitate to share what she knew.
"I don't mind sharing some information with you," she said.
"Good, let's talk after returning to the Ming Mansion and checking on the girl's condition. After that, we will discuss everything I want to know," Chen Tian said.
As Chen Tian made his way back to the Ming Mansion, he made sure that his presence was concealed and that he was not followed by anyone.
In lightning god mode, his speed was extremely fast, and he was able to reach the mansion in record time.
Today he learned more about Earth, the existence of divine beasts, and the secrecy surrounding unknown secret societies.
What in the name of heaven was Earth? Was a place like this supposed to even exist?
Chen Tian flew back with a sense of urgency.
'Should I speak with my aunt and the others? I think it would be a great time to share everything with them.'
Now that there were many dangers in this world, Chen Tian was starting to feel worried about the safety of his loved ones.
Perhaps telling his aunt and the others so that they could stay inside the house and practice cultivation was the best option.
But Chen Tian's biggest problem was how he could help the others to cultivate.
Aria and Emilia weren't a problem since they relied on his Yang Qi to cultivate, but what about his aunt and Leng Zhiqing, his aunt Mei Hua, and Yuan Ning?
The girl can't even speak, and Chen Tian still doesn't know what her problem was.
Even with all his knowledge, Chen Tian couldn't help Yuan Ning. For now, his only option was to wait until he unlocked his divine sense.
Chen Tian couldn't also force his aunt or the others to become his dual cultivation partners. He could give them his Yang Qi without them knowing, but that would make him feel guilty.
Chen Tian felt frustrated that he couldn't easily solve the problems of those around him.
"Huh!"
"Huh!"
Both Chen Tian and Wu Ye suddenly sensed something, quietly focusing their attention on a certain direction where they could feel someone moving fast toward them.
As they watched, a figure emerged from the distance, gradually becoming clearer as it approached.
It was the figure of a woman with white hair and light gray eyes that seemed to glow in the dim light of the evening.
She was flying toward them like a rocket, moving with such speed that it would be hard for a normal person to see her clearly.
Chen Tian and Wu Ye's eyes widened in shock as they sensed her.
"Fuck, isn't this the woman from back there?!" Chen Tian frowned as he recognized the distinct features of Baihu.
"How did she find me?!"
Cold sweat began to form on his forehead as he realized the danger he was in.
If this woman decided to attack him, his only option was to escape, not to mention that his lightning god mode would not last for too long.
Perhaps three minutes or less.
As Baihu approached with an intense look in her glowing light gray eyes, Chen Tian knew he had to think fast.
"Fuck it, the only way is to run!"
With that decision made, Chen Tian's flying sword shook violently as lightning gathered on it, and he took off into the sky, leaving Baihu far behind.
