Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 489 - 243: Breaking Through

The hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Not from fear or shivering, but from excitement.

The bloom of that sword, the grace of that stroke...

Like a blood-red spider lily bursting into bloom, a red higanbana swaying gently.

The rampant blood, the slippery innards.

Everything the hand touched, the sword passed, the feet trod upon, the knees nudged against, all snapped and whirled, the sword sung sharp, each strike resonated, blending into the music of heaven, as graceful as the dance of a Heavenly Person.

So beautiful... So good...

The woman revealed a hint of a smile, as if the moon had risen with the tide.

It was the blush on her face, the blood tide on the ground, and that mysterious smile at the corner of her mouth. Her face was as pale as the moon stained with blood, her body was like the Qingyun reflected in red.

The trembling pink muscles, the pale yellow nearing white fat, the blood not yet cold... The foul odor from the spoiled proteins and digestive enzymes mixed with the primordial scent of female hormones.

Particularly nauseating.

"Hehehe," the woman laughed behind her hand, like a noble maiden of high pedigree, leaving behind a series of gentle laughter.

Those of the Heterodox...

Don't find me, don't find me...

Because I...

"Smack!" Fu Silu, the Steward of the Divine Capital Criminal Law Department, slammed his hand down on the table, leaving behind a palm print as if carved with a knife: "This is too audacious... Truly too audacious!"

Four months after the massacre at Spirit Awakening Village, the killer from Divine Capital had struck once again.

At this moment, it was the joyous festive season, with the Lantern Festival due the next day. Although the Law Enforcement Officers were still casting their nets wide, there were always one or two whose hearts wavered.

Just a moment! But in that instant, a small breach appeared on the net.

And then, another victim was found.

What was shocking was that this time, the victim was not some ordinary thug or ruffian, but a Divine Capital Cultivator with considerable Cultivation.

The Criminal Law Department had never dealt with such a horrific case since its establishment.

"Waste! All of you are incompetent!"

Hearing Fu Silu's rebuke, a Golden Core Cultivator felt dissatisfied: "Steward Fu, perhaps this is not our fault."

Fu Silu inquired, "How so?"

"Perhaps our initial approach was mistaken," said that person, his tone oddly sarcastic: "Didn't your Law Enforcement Officers of Divine Capital initially assess that the killer was a Core Formation Ancient Cultivator? But do you really think that any Core Formation Ancient Cultivator would possess such exquisite perception to accurately slip through the smallest holes in the net?"

"A Nascent Soul Ancient Cultivator?" Fu Silu was shocked.

Each level has its own laws. Using methods meant for Golden Cores on Nascent Souls, of course, made it easy to be targeted.

"Perhaps even higher?" said the person with an unfriendly tone: "Divine Capital is teeming with local snakes of Divine Separation and beyond."

Two thousand years ago, those Ancient Cultivators who surrendered to the Modern Immortal Path… Now two thousand years have passed, and if their Cultivation has not improved, their Life Span is likely to be cleanly swept away. Despair might lead them to slaughter a few Mortals in their prime, selecting scoundrels simply as a facade of the 'Righteous Path'.

It was just today that, if it were before the Holy Infant Sect's Ancient Immortal Path, Cultivators slaughtering Mortals wouldn't need a reason. But for the Immortal Alliance, those who couldn't hold true to their True Heart and the principles of Seeking Dao were better off absent.

Another person sighed languidly: "Perhaps, it is a Modern Cultivator?"

"Just an ordinary Core Formation member from the Yangshen Pavilion could tear a hole in our net. That Confusion Power is not something the Ancient Method can compare to."

Hearing the quarrel of the seniors inside, the ordinary Law Enforcement Officers waiting outside looked even more embarrassed. Xian Tianwei whispered to Chen Feng, "Brother Feng, the Yangshen Pavilion couldn't possibly produce such a degenerate, right?"

A sect that studies the heart of cultivation losing their own heart, would be a tremendous blow to the entire Modern philosophy.

Chen Feng's face was steeped in gloom as if it was coated in ink.

To know life and understand death, to preserve life and avoid death. This was the motto of Tianling Ridge.

Even though every disciple of Tianling Ridge could not avoid using a significant number of actual organisms in research, but...

Chen Feng could guarantee that he had never wantonly killed, never tortured.

The more he understood the Life Path, the clearer he realized the preciousness of life.

Would there be such rebels in Tianling Ridge?

For those who do not know life but practice the ways of death, I shall teach them with death.

Chen Feng remembered something someone had taught him one day, but immediately, he clenched his fists. Divine Capital

But the hatred... to be unable to find...

Just then, a cultivator ran in, holding a specialized calculator in his hand, excited yet fatigued.

Law Enforcement Officer Qin Xuan stopped him, "What do you think you're doing?"

"Someone acting suspiciously has appeared in the surveillance area..."

Most of the killers in Divine Capital tended to have the habit of walking the streets at night, not necessarily every night, but the frequency wasn't low.

Qin Xuan angrily said, "An incident just happened yesterday, that bastard wouldn't appear today, right? Today is the Lantern Festival, it's normal for people to be out!"

Chen Feng said, "Let me see, that madman is beyond reason. Who's to say he won't come out today?"

The specialized calculator was showing surveillance footage. In the footage was the Lantern Festival, with a sea of people bustling about.

However, within this macroscopic "crowd" was an individual who neither drifted with the tide nor integrated into the atmosphere here. He was the largest anomaly in this model, and his existence alone merited contemplation.

Chen Feng was stunned.

Surrounding law enforcement officers exclaimed in surprise, "Indeed very suspicious!"

Xian Tianwei hesitantly said, "Brother Feng..."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I do indeed know him..." Chen Feng explained with a wry smile.

Why is Wang Qi, that kid, not in closed-door research? Why is he out?

Could it be, you've made a breakthrough?

Unbeknownst to Chen Feng, Wang Qi had already emerged from seclusion.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, was one of the few festivals that those on the Immortal Dao cared about. But Chen Youjia just couldn't feel happy. She didn't want to go home, yet the only two people she could call friends were busy, one with official matters and the other with personal ones, leaving her alone. Even the carefully prepared sweet dumplings tasted not sweet enough, no matter how much sugar she added.

Chen Youjia stood at Wang Qi's door with a bowl of dumplings in hand, thinking about knocking to invite him to eat, but her hand hesitated at the door's edge.

"This isn't quite right..." Chen Youjia hesitated, and then realized, "No, that's not right... I'm just interrupting him doing something foolish... not disturbing."

It's just doing something foolish.

As long as your Spirit Sense is strong enough, it's possible to eliminate all uncertainties.

The quantum level reveals the Mysterious nature, which is indeed special as it lies between the macroscopic and microscopic underlying layers, showcasing unique properties. The most microscopic and fundamental scale will display hidden properties.

If all possibilities cannot be eliminated, then either our "Dao" isn't close enough to the real Great Dao, or there are variables we don't know about.

Following this line of thought, predicting when and where someone might appear isn't impossible.

But even those who most believe in causality concede, with noses held, that we still know nothing of Heaven and Earth, and our "Law" is yet incapable of comprehensively governing all life beings.

Wang Qi is undoubtedly being foolish. A single person's human heart can't be subject to mathematics, let alone an entire city's populace?

Truly foolish.

Yet... I seem to particularly envy these fools.

Chen Feng, that guy, and Wang Qi, this one.

Why?

It was the first time the self-proclaimed intelligent Chen Youjia felt doubt about herself.

She gritted her teeth, deciding to knock directly. Just then, the door opened.

In just over a month, Wang Qi's Mana Power Intent had changed so much that he was almost unrecognizable. It was like the "presence" of space itself, inclusive of all changes, reflecting all fluctuations. Yet, it was immeasurable.

Chen Youjia's eyes met those newly deep and profound eyes. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
