Chapter 32
“Thank you.” Jiang Chen’s reaction was quite plain. He didn’t seem very excited.
Li Lie wondered whether he knew what a class-two panacea meant.
However, if he knew that Jiang Chen used to deal with class-nine panaceas like they were nothing…
After bidding farewell to Murong Feng and Li Lie, Jiang Chen put the panacea into his pocket and started to check the slaughterer’s belongings.
He found more things than he had had expected. This slaughterer must have taken all of his property with him when he was exiled.
Among the items were a bow and four yellow small pennants, which Jiang Chen thought looked quite nice.
The bow was of a standard size, about five feet long. What was special about it were the strange patterns on it. The top and bottom of the pattern’s design were symmetrical.
Jiang Chen roared while brandishing his sword blindly.
He had thought he still had time. He had thought he could rescue his father from the Black Dragon City once he was strong enough.
He had promised Gao Yue.
But at this moment, everything was shattered, and he started to feel how fragile he was.
Wind and Cloud were silently standing aside with their heads down.
Don’t panic. Don’t panic. I still have to protect my mother!
Jiang Chen suddenly recalled that Gao Yue had been poisoned. If she fought with anyone, he would have no time to detoxify her.
“Your states are higher than mine. If you go back first you can be of great help. I’ll arrive later!” Jiang Chen said.
Wind and Cloud were still hesitant.
“This is an order. If I find out you are still following me, I’ll blame you two for whatever happens to the Jiangs!”
Wind and Cloud finally left.
Jiang Chen didn’t waste any time either. He was going back. But, he stopped after only a few steps and went up to the cave, frowning.
The entrance was obstructed by gravel and there was nothing, but Jiang Chen was listening carefully.
He heard a vague sound coming from the collapsed cave when he was brandishing the sword out of anger just now.
When he was listening calmly, he realized that it was the chime of a sword.
There is a sword, a spiritual sword!
Many legendary weapons had spirits. They would resonate when geniuses with marvelous attainments of martial arts techniques were nearby.
Jiang Chen had mastered the early form of the spirit of the sword. This was very rare in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so the spiritual sword in the cave was attracted to him.
Yet this cave had collapsed. It was not only difficult, but also dangerous for him to clear up the gravel alone.
It’s time to gather holy awareness.
Average people could only gather holy awareness when they reached the Mental Wander State, since by then their soul would be strong enough. However, Jiang Chen could already achieve it.
This was one of the benefits of having a strong mind.
Holy awareness could make one aware of any sign of disturbance around them, and they would be able to see things that were invisible to the naked eye.
Jiang Chen was sitting on the ground, his eyes gently closed.
There were many ways to gather holy awareness which were compiled into books, but they weren’t called method books. Most of them were called scriptures.
He started to recollect the content of the Scripture of Ascending Pagoda. It was among the top three scriptures dedicated to gathering holy awareness.
He imagined that his soul had become a little man and was in a nine-story pagoda. The more stories he ascended, the stronger and purer his soul would be.
One story after another, until he reached the top.
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate to jump up from his sitting position. He instantly felt the same pleasure that eagles felt when they flew in the sky and that fishes felt when they swam in the water.
All vague things around him became clear. It didn’t take long for him to see himself sitting on the ground.
Then he moved towards the cave. His body went through the rocks without difficulty.
