Free Web NovelChapter 1320: Chapter 510: Ji Lianxing’s Resolve! Disciple, Don’t Look at Your Master!
On the embroidered bed, the gauze canopy swayed, faintly revealing two silhouettes.
In the indistinct atmosphere, Chen Mo’s deep voice could be heard, murmuring inexplicable phrases like "while Manzhi is away, let you start the school year early" and "do you like the teacher’s big staff," while Ye Henshui responded with ambiguous whimpers.
Ji Lianxing, having watched so many times, naturally understood what the two were doing. Her paper-white cheeks blushed with a hint of rouge, and she muttered softly to herself, "In broad daylight, such recklessness... this guy is utterly absurd..."
For some reason, an inexplicable sense of loss surged in her heart.
Chen Mo obviously knew she was nearby, but he was so unconcerned. Didn’t that mean he didn’t care about her feelings at all?
Although the two had faced life and death situations together multiple times and had signed a special contract, their relationship always felt a bit awkward: on one hand, she couldn’t let go of her obsession with rebuilding her sect; on the other hand, she couldn’t bring herself to admit that Chen Mo had become a very special presence in her heart.
Looking at those entwined figures, a ridiculous thought popped into her head:
If back then, under the influence of emotional impurities, she had just gone ahead and consummated things, perhaps she would be the one cultivating with him now?
"Meow~"
The cat stretched its back, looking eager to pounce.
Ji Lianxing snapped back to her senses and waved her hand dismissively, saying with little interest, "Forget it, let them do as they please. It has nothing to do with me. Let’s just go."
With that, she intended to leave with the cat.
However, just a few steps out, she suddenly halted, her delicate brows furrowed tightly.
"Wait, this aura is..."
In the past, when Chen Mo cultivated with Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui, it would also cause a resonance of Dao Power, but it was never this intense.
She could clearly sense the incredibly mysterious Daoist Charm, surpassing all Divine Skills and Daoist Skills, belonging to the power of the world’s Origin!
"It has a sense of cause and effect reincarnation yet exudes a sense of annihilating void... when did this guy’s comprehension of the Origin become so deep?"
A trace of astonishment surfaced in Ji Lianxing’s eyes.
She knew Chen Mo possessed power at the Origin level, but possessing and controlling are two entirely different concepts.
Now, he managed to integrate the aura of Origin into the cycle of Dao Power, indicating that his understanding of the Great Dao has already transcended the realm of Heavenly Human! Yet, he’s merely a Second Grade Divinity... this is utterly unbelievable...
"It seems like he had another encounter during this period?"
"But this means, I could also use dual cultivation to comprehend the Tao Origin?!"
With this thought in mind, Ji Lianxing’s heartbeat began to uncontrollably accelerate.
As one of the top Dao Masters in the Jiu Zhou, seemingly just one step away from the Ultimate Venerable, taking that step was as hard as reaching the sky.
No matter how powerful a Grandmaster is, in front of the Ultimate Venerable, they are ants. It is not something that can be caught up with mere diligent cultivation. It is the absolute disparity in the understanding of the Great Dao, a watershed—only by surpassing this mountain can one have a chance to pursue transcendence.
Ji Lianxing, regardless of talent or Root Bone, was flawless; she only lacked an opportunity—
And now, that opportunity was right before her!
"As long as I can comprehend a trace of the Origin Power, there’s a chance to achieve the Ultimate Venerable!"
"Even if I can’t catch up with Yu Youhan in the short term, at least I could put up a fight!"
After learning from Ye Zi’e about the sins the Moon Brilliance Sect had once committed, the flames of revenge in Ji Lianxing’s heart had been completely extinguished, but Yu Youhan might not be willing to let her go—
Even for the sake of self-preservation, she should work to enhance her cultivation!
Having finally found sufficient reasoning for herself, a smile tugged at the corners of Ji Lianxing’s mouth.
Her figure expanded as if inflated, returning from a palm-sized paperman to her original form.
Her jet-black hair was casually pinned up with a gold hairpin, donning a smoke-colored gauze dress, its collar slightly open, revealing a snow-white neck, while her full-figured body stretched the fabric tight, rising and falling slightly with her breath, drawing out breathtaking curves.
Swoosh—
She raised her hand to undo the belt, with the outer garment slipping down her smooth shoulder and piling up at her hips.
As the buttons on the lapel were undone one by one, her delicate skin exposed itself, lustrous as a peeled lychee, beneath the ample curves, her slender waist nearly graspable, forming an almost exaggerated silhouette in profile, exuding an alluring enchantment with every movement.
A copper mirror stood conveniently by the screen.
Gazing at the reflection in the mirror, Ji Lianxing felt her ears heat up, instinctively crossing her arms in front of her.
Although she had made up her mind, she inevitably felt a bit nervous at the moment.
After all, doing this in front of her disciple didn’t exactly allow her to put everything on the line, not to mention, Chen Mo might not even accept her...
"Perhaps, I should disguise myself a bit?"
Ji Lianxing pondered briefly, formed a spell, a faint glow shrouded her, concealing her form.
As the light dissipated, she transformed her appearance entirely, her looks and figure indistinguishable from Gu Manzhi.
Her familiarity with her disciple after years of companionship, combined with near-Divine Magic, ensured that not even Manzhi herself could discern any differences.
"Yes, this feels much more reassuring..."
Ji Lianxing lifted her leg to the bedside, reaching out to pull back the gauze curtain.
Ye Henshui, in a daze, saw "Gu Manzhi" staring intently at him and, thinking it was an illusion, vigorously rubbed his eyes.
