oner, numerous people’s mouths twitched, expressing their disdain.
Even though they were cultivators and shouldn’t have these kinds of thoughts, this was too much for even them.
When the time came, they had to humiliate this arrogant youngster and the Pure Yang Palace!

Yang Chen was not aware of this and even if he knew, he was unlikely to care about it.
On the whole journey, Yang Chen had never ridden on the paper crane, but rather walked slowly and unhurriedly on the road, enjoying the scenery, feasting his eyes on the nearby landscape.
When passing by mountains and rivers his eyes turned almost every time to look around.

On this whole journey, Yang Chen didn’t squander, but rather paid careful attention to everything.
Man reflects the earth, the earth reflects the heaven, the heaven reflects the dao and the dao reflects its own nature.
In his previous life, Yang Chen was only proficient in fire attributed magic and not at all in any other kinds of magic.

Even though he had read about many ancestors’ cultivation experiences inside the Hidden Pavilion, they were all different people.
Yang Chen was able to comprehend some of it, but some others he still could not comprehend, but it just so happens that by means of observation during the journey, combined with his own understanding, he could master these things by comprehensively studying his surroundings.

This experience of the way of the earth was not just sufficient for cultivators of foundation stage and below, but even up to the Da Cheng stage.
As for the way of heaven, the way of dao and the way of nature, these needed an even higher level of cultivation, only then could they be pursued.

No matter whether it was the mountains, the earth, rivers, flowers and plants, all were targets for Yang Chen’s careful observation.
Yang Chen remembered that in his previous life the heavenly imperial court had an expert who said: ‘One flower one world.
One grain of sand, a newly grown leave and a vast forest under a mountain’, they were not so different at all.
Yang Chen pondered over this argument as much as he liked, leisurely spending the time.

As for learning through experiencing human society, it was unnecessary for Yang Chen, as he had already been a Great Principal Golden Immortal.
As long as Yang Chen acted in accordance with his own needs it would be fine.
Even if it was like this, once Yang Chen started hurrying to Floating Mountain, the distance just took four five days to cover.

When he had come to the foot of the Floating Mountain, but not yet entered the city market of that small town, Yang Chen saw Gongsun Ling’s figure in a roadside pavilion.

Gongsun Ling still was dressed in a yellow colored dress, covering her whole body, deeply impressing Yang Chen with its delicate patterns and designs.
Yang Chen was aware that Gongsun Ling had made all of it by herself, even though she was at the sixth qi layer she was still not able to refine magic tools, when Gongsun Ling had made these clothes, however, she had always created them very delicately.
Her thin legs and slender waist were emphasized by her well-fitted clothes, further increasing the unwillingness in people to avert their eyes.

At that time, Gongsun Ling who was pondering over a jade slip in her hands with an earnest expression on her face appeared as if she was matchlessly devoted to her task.
From Yang Chen’s direction, only half the side of her face could be seen, but that quiet and elegant demeanor still made Yang Chen lose his breath for a split second.

Yang Chen had not seen many beautiful women, but the few he had met were all peerless and magnificent beauties.
Chang’e, Xuan Nue, Zhi Nu and other female immortals, any of whom had a unique manner and appearance.
They held no attraction for Yang Chen however.
When he was humiliated all day long and by himself, who would still have the time to think about them.

The only woman who had left a profound impression on Yang Chen’s mind in that life was his own beautiful master.
Other people, even if they were the cool elegant and magnificent Shi Shan Shan, or the beautiful woman Sun Qing Xue would become, none has left any deep impression in Yang Chen’s heart.
But in this one moment, Yang Chen was attracted towards Gongsun Ling.

Perhaps it was because of the good intentioned warning she had given him at the Hidden Pavilion or perhaps because she was indifferent, meticulously studying here.
In short, Yang Chen had suddenly become very fond of looking at this half of a face.
As if, by looking at her, he could allow himself to have a moment of content in his heart. 

After he blankly stared at her for a moment, Gongsun Ling’s attention finally changed from the jade slip to Yang Chen.
When Yang Chen was still very far, she had already become aware of him.
However, she was thinking about a difficult problem at that time, so only now did she pay attention to Yang Chen.
Nevertheless, not being rude, she raised her head, exposing an indifferent, smiling expression and faintly nodded:

“You have come, Younger Brother Yang!”

That smiling expression and slight nod made Yang Chen suddenly feel a sense of belonging and even if Du Qian had shown such consideration for him, Yang Chen wouldn’t feel this sensation.
Gongsun Ling had only spoken five words with him, from the beginning to the end, yet Yang Chen suddenly had this kind of feeling.

“I have arrived, Senior Apprentice Sister!”

In this split second, Yang Chen resolved himself, that, in this life, he would not allow the tragedy of his past life to be repeated.
Such a capable person with absolutely splendid talent, can and must not be allowed to die at the instant of ascending to the next realm.

Having resolved himself to this a moment ago, before Yang Chen could say anything, Gongsun Ling, who was sitting opposite to him, watching him, had a change in her complexion, suddenly pointing towards Yang Chen, alarmed, she asked:

“Younger Brother Yang, what’s going on with the spirit power in your body? How can it be so chaotic?”

Actually, Gongsun Ling had surprisingly discovered the different attributed spirit power in Yang Chen’s body, it was not at all pure, wouldn’t that mean that the cultivation is destroying itself?

Originally when Yang Chen was at the first qi layer, he had fire attributed spirit power, the other types of spirit power were suppressed by the Reverse Yin and Yang five phases, which kept the energy unmixed and at the same time also made it difficult to be discovered by other people, therefore regardless of whether it was Chu Heng or Du Qian, even Zhu Chen Tao wasn’t able to detect it.
At this time Yang Chen’s Yin and Yang five phases secrets had already entered the second qi layer and his spirit power had greatly expanded, naturally this was sensed by Gongsun Ling.

Yang Chen had a fire-star spirit root, naturally he would cultivate fire attributed spirit power, but suddenly in his body, there was spirit power of many other attributes, how could that not make people concerned.
This ‘chaotic’ spirit power, could it be that Yang Chen had come across some problems?

“It is just spirit power of the five phases, it is nothing to be alarmed at.”

Yang Chen felt warm in his heart and at the same time exposed a smiling expression on his face:

“I merely wanted to experience for myself how to use my fire attributed spirit power to imitate the spirit power of other attributes, that’s all.
Therefore, I was trying to practice cultivation methods of other attributes, to learn and comprehend.”

Gongsun Ling’s expression became colorful again in a flash.
This Younger Brother Yang is good at surprising people.
Staying inside of the Hidden Pavilion for half a year, reading all of the ancient records.
Then he also wants to practice the cultivation methods of other attributes of the five phases to understand the other attributes, this kind of thinking would simply make people dumbfounded.

Since Yang Chen’s present cultivation had greatly increased when compared to the time at the Hidden Pavilion, however, at least as far as Gongsun Ling could see, for the time being it’s fine to assume that there are no issues.
She could only warn him again:

“Then you must be careful and by no means should you neglect the root to pursue the tip.”

“Senior Apprentice Sister, be at ease, I know how to take care of myself.”

Yang Chen gave a Gongsun Ling a smile to make her feel relieved and then asked:

“Senior Sister, were you waiting for me here?”

“Are you Yang Chen?”

Before Gongsun Ling could reply, a stranger’s voice could be heard from the side:

“Known as the first qi layer disciple who can kill seventh and eighth qi layer assassins, on whom the Pure Yang Palace is focusing all of its resources?”

The voice had a tone which made people feel uncomfortable as if uncovering a swindler hidden within the crowd.
