Chapter 813: Chapter 486: Return to the Capital, Divine Envoy in Shock!
In Qingzhou City, Chen Yuan paused for half a day.
The main reason was to discuss Tao, as Chen Yuan didn’t need guidance in other areas, but in ‘Conception’, Jiang He was definitely ahead of him, even though Sword Intent differs from Fist and Sword Intent.
But although paths vary, they all lead to the same destination, which was quite helpful for Chen Yuan.
Jiang He was not stingy either, sharing all of his insights with Chen Yuan. Previously, he rarely mentioned this aspect because it would have been useless for Chen Yuan to understand it.
But things are different now. Chen Yuan broke through to the Heavenly Core realm, comprehending the meaning of Heaven and Earth, making him qualified to grasp ‘Tao’.
Jiang He told Chen Yuan, Conception itself is the extension of a Martial Artist. Where the intent leads, there the heart follows.
With an invincible heart, you are truly invincible!
What a Martial Artist needs most is an invincible heart; a heart with fear cannot progress far on the path of martial arts.
Jiang He’s discourse greatly benefited Chen Yuan, allowing him to grasp new insights.
After that, driven by their enthusiasm, Chen Yuan and Jiang He directly leaped to Qingyun Mountain, preparing to engage in sparring. Only through actual combat can one truly attain enlightenment.
Since the downfall of Qingyun Sword Sect, this place has been desolate. Though several parties have attempted to claim it, after many struggles,
the ownership of Qingyun Mountain is still unresolved.
After all, although it’s not regarded as an Immortal Mountain, it’s indeed a rare blessed land, with abundant Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, making it an excellent location for establishing a Mountain Gate.
On the summit of Qingyun Mountain, Chen Yuan and Jiang He stood on two sides, separated by more than two hundred zhang.
Although Jiang He had not fully recovered from his injury, he could still wield his Sword Intent. Its piercing Sword Intent was indeed alarming, while Chen Yuan countered with the True Intent of his martial arts.
Though it appeared peaceful between the two, it was actually fraught with great danger.
After a long time, they exchanged a glance and simultaneously withdrew their True Intent, Jiang He nodded slightly at Chen Yuan and said:
“Not bad, your talent is indeed amazing to have grasped the intricacies in such a short time.”
“Thanks to Brother Jiang’s excellent guidance.”
“Give this to her on my behalf.” Jiang He, after a moment of silence, suddenly changed the topic, throwing a brocade bag to Chen Yuan.
“Alright.”
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and nodded.
No need to elaborate, he knew who ‘she’ referred to. During the month he left, Jiang He must have pondered quite a bit.
Passing by Qingzhou City this time, apart from sharing some plans, he considered whether to pass on a token to Li Hongshuang.
Luckily, without needing many words, Jiang He understood on his own.
A very concise conversation marked the end of their meeting, Chen Yuan solemnly clasped his hands towards Jiang He and said:
“I’m leaving.”
“Be cautious on your way to the Capital, I’ll take care of things here for you, and you don’t need to worry about the matters in Shuzhou. When you feel the time is right, use the Heavenly Book to send me a message.”
“Alright.”
Chen Yuan nodded slightly, then leapt into the air and departed.
Jiang He gazed at Chen Yuan’s gradually retreating figure, standing there for a long time, his eyes seemingly recalling many past events. Lastly, as he was about to leave, he chuckled softly:
“Not bad.”
…
…
After leaving Qingzhou City, Chen Yuan’s speed in the air suddenly accelerated, far surpassing what it was before. Although breaking through to the Heavenly Core wasn’t a qualitative leap, there was indeed a significant increase.
Speed was one of them.
And this thrill of completely controlling everything around him made Chen Yuan feel quite comfortable.
The route taken when arriving was through the Changshan Mansion, and it remained the same on the way back. In a short time, Chen Yuan returned to Divine Capital City, which he hadn’t visited for nearly two months.
The changes in this city were nonexistent compared to when he left, still teeming with people. Without sighing or contemplating anything, Chen Yuan went straight back to the Duke Wuwei Mansion.
This time, although he didn’t make a high-profile return to the Capital, it wasn’t exactly low-profile either, which was why, shortly after arriving home, his news began to spread around.
Many who were secretly observing Chen Yuan also learned of his return to the Capital.
The one most attentive was the Fourth Prince, Sima Ke. After some misunderstandings earlier, he was now completely convinced that Chen Yuan was involved in some unspeakable dealings with his mother concubine.
He entertained other thoughts, like wanting Chen Yuan to assist him.
He believed that one who achieves greatness should not be restricted by minor matters. Chen Yuan, who became famous at a young age, was unparalleled in the Jianghu. A rare genius in the Central Plains over the past century, linked with a significant force; he was more than suitable for his mother.
Of course, the main reason was that Chen Yuan had the ability to aid him, and he couldn’t control Chen Yuan. Otherwise, if it were someone else daring such actions,
he would have found a way to have them torn to pieces long ago.
Now, Sima Ke merely hoped that Chen Yuan wouldn’t have anything to do with his royal sister; otherwise, it would be truly awkward, something he evidently couldn’t accept.
Thus, the first person to send an invitation upon Chen Yuan’s return to the Capital was him!
In the Duke Wuwei Mansion, Chen Yuan changed back into his official robes and looked pensively at the letter in his hand. It turned out to be Sima Ke’s invitation…
This was something he hadn’t anticipated. If it were the Eldest Prince Sima Qian or the Second Prince Sima You, it wouldn’t cause him any confusion.
But this opponent, why would he act like this?
Did something happen during his absence that he was unaware of?
Clearly, they hated each other so much and their enmity was widely known in the Capital, akin to water and fire, yet such an event occurred.
