Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1312 - 389: [Martyrdom]

Chapter 389: [Martyrdom]

Gu Qingyi was at her wit’s end with Chen Yan.

She had a lot to say to admonish Chen Yan, to persuade him not to cross the red line of the Heavenly Dao.

But Chen Yan neither refuted nor argued. He just listened with a smile, then smiled and said he understood.

It was like punching the air.

In the end, Gu Qingyi was helpless, so she ran to the yard, moved a chair, and sat at her once-favorite spot to bask in the sun.

But as fate would have it, she hadn’t basked for half a day when suddenly a wind arose and clouds gathered. Dark clouds floated in, and then it began to drizzle.

Gu Qingyi was so angry that her face turned green. After sitting in the rain for a while, she suddenly stood up and leaped, her body transforming into a light that shot into the sky!

A moment later, a few muffled thunders were heard in the sky, followed by a burst of wind.

After a while, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, the rain stopped, and the wind ceased.

Without the veil of clouds, the sun once again emerged in its full glory.

Chen Yan stood in the yard, looking up at the changing sky.

After waiting for a bit, when Gu Qingyi landed like a gust of wind, he sighed and offered her a cup of hot tea he was holding.

"Have some cool tea, to calm down."

Gu Qingyi: "..."

"I know you’re fuming inside, but don’t take it out on the weather.

As they say, spring rain is as precious as oil. This season, a bit of rain is good for crops and farming. Your outburst dispersed the rain clouds, and the crops will suffer.

Besides, the rain clouds were quite extensive. You only broke them apart a little; in two or three hours, they’ll gather again, and it’ll still rain."

Gu Qingyi bit her teeth hard, glaring at Chen Yan: "Chen Yan, do you think, that now I won’t hit you?"

Chen Yan laughed heartily, withdrew his hands into his sleeves, and retreated back into the house.

Watching Chen Yan walk away with a smile, Gu Qingyi suddenly had a realization.

She suddenly understood the strange feeling in her heart — she always felt Chen Yan had changed somehow, but couldn’t pinpoint it.

He had become... fearless of her!

No, to be precise, he seemed fearless of anything.

Hmm, that’s not quite right either.

It should be...

He seemed to have understood a lot, and saw through a lot. He was clear about many things, his heart was transparent.

Hence, without doubts, there was no fear!

Realizing this, Gu Qingyi’s face turned even more sour!

A heart without doubts... truly seeing through much!

Also, the foundation of the Primordial Spirit became even more complete!

Thinking of this, Gu Qingyi became increasingly worried. She turned to enter the house, attempting to persuade Chen Yan once more.

But before she reached the door, through the window, she saw Chen Yan inside, sitting there sprawled out, acting like a landlord.

Chu Keqing, that dazzling woman like a demon, was sitting beside him, letting Chen Yan stretch his legs on her lap.

This demoness, full of charm, was massaging Chen Yan’s calves, occasionally stopping to pick up a wine bottle from the table to pour him a drink, or picking up chopsticks to feed Chen Yan a morsel of food.

In short...

Preposterous! Utterly preposterous!!

"Chen Yan!"

Standing outside, Gu Qingyi suddenly shouted: "Before I came, your grandmother entrusted me with something to pass on to you!"

Inside, Chen Yan then sat up straight, but still remained calm and unruffled.

After a brief pause, he shook his head and said, "No rush, you can hold on to it for now."

"...What?!"

Gu Qingyi’s eyes almost popped out.

Chen Yan said calmly: "I am on the verge of a breakthrough now, can’t be distracted by other matters. That old lady in my family actually sent you over with something... I think it must be something extraordinary.

If I take it now and open it, it might disturb my mindset.

It’s only a matter of days, I’ll deal with it after my breakthrough.

If I succeed, my Mental Realm will be stable, and naturally, I can observe it then.

If I fail and perish, whatever it is, it won’t matter whether I see it or not."

Gu Qingyi, anxious at heart, retorted angrily: "Don’t you... don’t you want to look at it now? After all... what she gives, perhaps, perhaps there is another world, maybe it could help you break through..."

Chen Yan chuckled: "No, the old lady... probably has the same thoughts as you, wishing I would stay in the Third Realm forever."

Saying this, he put away his smile and looked at Gu Qingyi: "Actually, the old lady wants to stop me.

She has always been stopping me, although I still don’t understand what exactly she is preventing me from doing.

However, she always hinders me; in many things, I encounter her arrangements, many things I can’t do, many things I’m not allowed to know.

But now I’ve figured it out, some things are not necessarily correct just because she says so.

Even Saints have places where they see things incorrectly.

Perhaps, some things are just supposed to be done by me; she does it for my good, but wants to stop me.

But perhaps... I should just follow my own judgment."

·

The state Chen Yan was in now could simply be described in four words: acting on his own will.

He does whatever he wants to do.

Breaking through the Mental Realm, the process of Refining Heart, Gu Qingyi was indeed most familiar with it — she had been through this phase herself back then.

Not restraining one’s own thoughts and desires, allowing oneself to indulge freely, immerse deeply, and then break through.

But the more Chen Yan acted like this, the more worried Gu Qingyi became!

Because she knew, at this stage, he really was very, very close to becoming a Realm-Breaking Celestial!
