Chapter 320
Jiang Chen was anxious, but he knew he shouldn’t panic.
He had to stay calm at such a crucial moment.
Jiang Chen tried to make a plan after Nan Gong had left, but it turned out that he had already made it long ago. That was exactly what Project Dark Soldier was for.
However, spurred on by Taoist Priest Skywind’s death, he felt it was necessary to execute his plan, and only success would be acceptable; no failure was acceptable.
Jiang Chen had resolved to die for his cause, so he found he had no reason to rush.
He looked towards the two wooden boxes on the table. He took the leaf out and put it into his mouth immediately.
Instantly, his mouth was like a fountain. Endless life energy was produced and flowed into his body.
Fulfilling days always went by more quickly. After two months, Jiang Chen had achieved Cloud Two of the Reaching Heaven State.
The time it had taken him to achieve the breakthrough was almost the same as when he had been a Mental Wander State, but for Reaching Heaven States, this speed was amazing.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen had been in complete seclusion during these days. Even Ying Wushuang hadn’t come by a lot, so not many people knew about his progress.
That day, Jiang Chen had a visitor.
It was one of the few people that he knew in the Dragon Field, Princess Crimson Moon.
She had come from the Sacred Institute to the Hero Palace with a temporary token. It was the first time the two had met at the Hero Palace.
“Vacation is coming. We’re going back to the Fire Field. Shall we travel together?”
Crimson Moon didn’t say any polite greetings, nor did she give Jiang Chen any chance to say them. She went straight to the point.
The Sacred Institute had machine-operated birds to transport short-term disciples, but the Hero Palace didn’t. Jiang Chen was surprised that Crimson Moon had gone there in person just to invite him.
Jiang Chen took a glance at the refitted airship not far away in his yard and said, “Thank you, princess, but I think I’ll go back alone.”
“Yeah?”
Crimson Moon wasn’t sure whether she should be surprised or not. Anyway, although she had already received an answer, she didn’t leave. Apparently, that wasn’t the only thing she had come for.
“I’m already a Reaching Heaven State,” Crimson Moon suddenly said.
“Congratulations…” Jiang Chen said instinctively. Then something occurred to him, and his face froze in shock.
“I trusted you, so you should trust me, too,” said Crimson Moon.
Jiang Chen recalled their conversation the last time they had met. He thought Crimson Moon would give up on that idea. He hadn’t expected her to break through to the Reaching Heaven State without developing any extraordinary meridians.
From her angle, what Jiang Chen had said could be true, but it could also be a lie. Even if it was true, would he be willing to give her the method?
“You know your fiancé and I are mortal enemies?” asked Jiang Chen.
“Yeah.”
“You should know that a war between us is on the verge of breaking out, as well. It’ll probably start when I go back home soon,” said Jiang Chen.
Crimson Moon smiled helplessly and said, “Last time we talked, I had formed all forty-nine of my holy points. Almost three months have passed since then. It took me two months to consider. I didn’t develop my extraordinary meridians, although many people gave me strange looks.”
Then Crimson Moon looked at Jiang Chen’s eyes and said slowly, “Now, shouldn’t you show your sincerity?”
Jiang Chen tumbled to the realization that the transaction between them had nothing to do with Ning Haotian.
If Jiang Chen taught her how to develop her extraordinary meridians, she would tell him about the venerable treasure.
“Tell me about the venerable treasure then.”
