MTL NOVEL Chapter 52
Chapter 52: The Way Follows Nature, Heaven Moves All Things!
Lian Hanxing woke up and her expression instantly changed when she realized that her clothes had all been changed.
“I’ve been captured!”
She jumped up from the bed, her body trembling uncontrollably, and her heart sank to the bottom.
The thing she was most apprehensive about was Zhou Tong’s Union Lock. If the other party had put the shackles on her while she was unconscious…
The thought sent chills down her limbs, and the spark in her eyes dimmed significantly.
Compared to losing her freedom and becoming someone else’s tool, she would rather choose to die.
The door opened and Mu Ran Ya gracefully walked in.
Seeing her enemy, Lian Hanxing’s eyes turned red, almost to the point of tears.
“Now you’re satisfied, right? I’ve completely lost to you, and now you can let your apprentice toy with me at will.”
Mu Ran Ya’s lips curled up slightly as she looked at Lian Hanxing’s pitiful expression, feeling a sense of relief.
“Unfortunately, my disciple doesn’t find you appealing!”
As soon as those words were spoken, Lian Hanxing instantly became a cat with its fur raised, unable to contain her anger as she shouted, “How long are you going to humiliate me? If you have the ability, just kill me!”
“I’m just speaking the truth.” Mu Ran Ya reined in her smile, “If my little guy were to put shackles on you, it would not only increase his cultivation but also gain a powerful underling, yet he just refused!”
Upon hearing this, Lian Hanxing’s pupils suddenly constricted, and she hurriedly checked her body.
When she discovered that she was indeed not under control, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief, while a strange emotion surged within her heart.
“I’m so disappointed… how is this possible?”
She bit her red lip lightly, and Zhou Tong’s figure suddenly came to mind, filling her with resentment.
What did that brat mean? Here she was, a great beauty, lying before him without any resistance, and he could completely possess her with just a flick of his finger.
Under these circumstances, Zhou Tong actually gave up. Did he really not find her appealing? Or was it…
“Intentional restraint, this must be intentional restraint!”
As a renowned beauty of the Red Dust, she quickly thought of a logical explanation.
Zhou Tong must be deliberately ignoring her allure, pretending to be indifferent in order to stimulate her competitive spirit and make her unable to forget him.
“Kid, you’ve miscalculated. I won’t fall for your tricks.”
Just as Lian Hanxing was about to move, a sword was pressed against her neck.
“Mu Ran Ya, do you really want to kill me?”
She tensed her body, her pupils suddenly constricting. Right now, she was incredibly weak; if it came to a fight, she would undoubtedly die.
“I do want to kill you, but I can also give you a chance to atone!”
Mu Ran Ya sheathed the blade and flicked her finger, causing a beam of light to penetrate Lian Hanxing’s brow.
“Ah…” Lian Hanxing couldn’t help but cry out in pain. “What have you done to me?”
“Just a little trick. Next, you will help us rescue someone. If you succeed, I will set you free, and all past grievances will be erased. But if you dare to play tricks again…”
“I understand… hmph! You just want to save that disciple of yours, right? I hope you won’t go back on your word.”
“I can swear to the Heavenly Dao.”
“No need, I trust your reputation.”
Lian Hanxing waved her hand and walked out of the room, heading to the deck.
She looked back and did not see her airship, a hint of anxiety appearing on her face.
“Don’t worry; your disciples have all been sent back, and I’ve even taught them a lesson so they won’t go astray in the future.”
Mu Ran Ya’s voice came from behind.
“Mind your own business!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she discovered a presence nearby. Zhou Tong was sitting cross-legged on the deck, seemingly meditating.
“Is this some kind of coincidence? Don’t think I can’t see through your little tricks!”
Lian Hanxing snorted coldly and attempted to ignore Zhou Tong.
However, she soon stopped in her tracks, as she sensed a cultivation aura emanating from Zhou Tong.
“This is… the First Layer of Transcendent Divide? How is that possible?”
Lian Hanxing looked dumbfounded. Zhou Tong’s concealment technique was too advanced for her to see through his cultivation level. Now that she knew Zhou Tong’s true realm, she was nearly shocked into disbelief.
“This is too weak. Am I really going to fall under this brat’s hand?”
She said, feeling quite defeated. Yet, she did not know that Zhou Tong was currently undergoing a self-transformation.
Having been reborn, he had mastered far too many ultimate skills, each of a very high grade, and if they were to spread, it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the entire continent.
However, for someone preparing to break into the Imperial Realm, he no longer needed those.
To become a true Great Emperor, one must beforehand comprehend the six realms of “nothingness.”
Among these, the “Ignorant Realm” is the ultimate of ultimate skills, allowing one to create ultimate skills at will.
However, reaching this realm is also extremely difficult, as it requires forgetting all ultimate skills except for one set of cultivation techniques for protection, and undergoing long periods of torment and adaptation.
In his previous life, Zhou Tong had half a foot in the “Ignorant Realm.” He had fused the strengths of many schools and created a move called “Breaking All Laws,” which could break through countless paths.
Now, he had severed all ultimate skills from his mind and, using the Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill as his protective method, began to push toward the “Ignorant” realm.
The Joyful Harmony Celestial Skill was divided into nine layers: the first layer is Room Technique, the second layer is Red Dust Sea, the third layer is Dream of Silk and Lilies, the fourth layer is Jade Demon Body, the fifth layer is Celestial Speech!
The so-called Celestial Speech is the power to communicate with Heaven and Earth, understanding the trajectory of their operations, letting water, fire, wind, thunder, mountains, and plants all enter one’s heart, and then controlling them.
This layer is very similar to the “Ignorant” realm. “Ignorant” is the realm of masterful control over all laws, while Celestial Speech elaborates the profundities of nature.
The Way follows nature, and it coincides perfectly!
In an instant, Zhou Tong understood; he had built up a reservoir of knowledge that burst forth like piercing through a windowpane, seamlessly stepping into the “Ignorant” realm.
Under Lian Hanxing’s astonished gaze, his aura suddenly surged.
“This… this…”
She trembled, pointing at Zhou Tong. She saw him breaking through like a rocket, his cultivation level rapidly advancing from the First Layer of Transcendent Divide, breaking through barrier after barrier and entering the Ninth Layer.
“How is this possible? Am I dreaming?”
She questioned herself doubtfully.
“You’ll get used to it.” Mu Ran Ya said beside her, leaving her feeling as if struck by lightning.
“Used to it? Is this his daily routine?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Tong advanced again, shattering the barriers of the great realm and stepping into the Unity Heart-Mind Realm.
“Boom!!”
Thunder rumbled, illuminating the heavens and the earth.
“It’s the Heavenly Thunder! Can he really summon the Heavenly Thunder without crossing the Transcendent Divide? What kind of monster is he?”
Lian Hanxing stared in awe, but what followed left her even more shocked.
Zhou Tong rose into the air and looked up at the heavenly thunder, his eyes shining gold, showing no fear at all.
“Let this fake Heavenly Thunder disperse!”
With a wave of his hand, the heavens erupted, and an amber celestial star descended from the sky.
Celestial Speech, Heaven Moves All Things!
