Chapter 620: 703 Farewell
Seeing the third option, Chen Mo couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
What the heck, even have baby-making experience...
But judging by the simulation content, he didn’t do much in these ten days, just making babies or accompanying his wives on leisurely outings. So giving this option seems reasonable.
It’s worth mentioning that since Xiao Yunxi ascended the throne as Empress, the Immortal Cultivation Simulator has undergone some changes. The prefix no longer adds how many days of turmoil; now the simulation is straightforward from the first to the tenth day.
Among the three options, Chen Mo chose the first one.
Ten days of cultivation experience could only be described as a drop in the bucket; Chen Mo couldn’t feel much of a change.
There was still a long way to go before reaching the Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
What puzzled him was that ten days had passed, and the guide still hadn’t come.
Back when his master reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he left within seven days.
Why is it taking so long for him...
Could it be that the guide is slacking off?
Or has the Immortal Cultivation Realm over there changed the rules and no longer sends anyone to guide...
Above the Sea of Nothingness, an elder on a flying boat sneezed.
He took out a round disc and injected a trace of spiritual Qi into it. A blue light curtain appeared on the disc, with four red dots on the screen.
The elder murmured, "I didn’t expect this Land of Punishment to have four people break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in such a short time. Truly remarkable. Could there be some opportunity in this barren place? Qin Zheng, who came here hundreds of years ago, has become a ruler. Recently, that little girl from the Shenxiao Sect, who is gaining fame, seems to have come from the Land of Punishment as well, tsk tsk..."
...
Under the bright sun and clear sky.
In the training field of Prince Zhen Nan’s Mansion, a blue dragon’s phantom was coiling around the long spear of Chen Mo, dissipating after just one breath.
Profound Celestial Dragon Control Second Technique: Wandering Dragon Emerges from the Sea, he had achieved Perfection, and he was trying to train the third technique—Profound Dragon Coiling Heaven.
But every time that blue dragon just started to manifest, it dissipated. The essence of the third technique was to gather that blue dragon for combat. How could it dissipate immediately...
Intuition told Chen Mo that the third technique was harder to train than the first and second techniques combined.
Zhao Qianyi brought a small bench to sit beside and watch Chen Mo cultivate.
Seeing no results from the third technique for a while, Chen Mo simply practiced the first technique, Spear Emerges Like a Dragon. After finishing a set, seeing Zhao Qianyi watching intently, he withdrew his spear and asked:
"Qianyi, have you learned Spear Emerges Like a Dragon?"
At this question, Zhao Qianyi’s face couldn’t help but turn red, not knowing if it was her stupidity or Chen Mo’s skillfulness.
Chen Mo claimed he mastered the first technique to Perfection in a month or two.
But she felt she hadn’t even reached Great Success, and the time she spent was two or three times that of Chen Mo achieving Perfection.
Yet she didn’t pretend to know and humbly asked for guidance: "Maybe it’s because I’m too slow-witted, I’ve never quite grasped that sensation."
To train a technique to Great Success or even Perfection, one must feel it as part of their body, not just follow it rigidly. The key was to feel it until the heart moves with the spear.
And Zhao Qianyi just couldn’t touch that feeling.
"It’s fine, come here, I’ll teach you hand by hand." Teaching Zhao Qianyi to practice the spear was better than staying cooped up in a room making babies all day; doing that too often would also get tedious...
...
Time flew by, and ten days passed.
In these ten days, only on ’odd days’, that is the third, fifth, seventh, and ninth, Chen Mo accompanied his wives in baby-making. For the rest of the time, besides teaching Qianyi spear techniques, he drew up schematics of weapons from his past life for artisans to study. If they succeeded, great; if they didn’t, it was no loss.
At least the development of Great Zhou’s weapons following the path of Chen Mo’s schematics was not wrong.
Chen Mo simulated once more.
This time, according to the simulation content, on the ninth day, the guide finally appeared.
Counting the time, from when Jiang Ruoqing broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it had been a month and a half.
Was the journey from the Immortal Cultivation Realm to here really that far?
But with a definite time, he could prepare in advance the things he needed to bring.
Chen Mo informed his ladies of the time. Of course, he didn’t say it blatantly, he just mentioned he had a feeling the guide was coming.
The ladies who were originally joyful, all showed signs of low spirits upon hearing him.
Especially Cao Xiyue and Yi Yao, they had been the most diligent, yet their bellies showed no signs.
This time, it wasn’t because Chen Mo deliberately controlled it; they genuinely had poor luck with conception.
Yue Yuxi’s feelings were also complicated.
Logically, Chen Mo leaving would be good news for her.
Free from his bullying, she could be liberated.
But in reality, instead of joy, she felt reluctant in her heart.
Realizing this point, she herself was startled.
Constantly wondering if she was truly hopeless for feeling reluctant about Chen Mo’s departure.
While the ladies were making snacks and sachets for Chen Mo to take, Yue Yuxi, maybe due to a brain freeze or something, cut off a lock of her hair and wrapped it with a red string to make a bracelet.
...
Knowing he was leaving soon, Chen Mo went home once.
Yes, the homeland of his original body.
He went alone, riding Xiao Jiu, well... Xiao Jiu was a demon...
Although the original village was flooded and all the villagers were gone, Chen Mo, even if he returned, would see no old friends, mainly went to see the gravestones erected for his parents.
He also found someone to refurbish the graves a bit.
In front of the gravestone, he said he was living well, would live for the original body in a good manner, would make their son’s name a legend on everyone’s lips...
He was giving his final farewell, burning a lot of paper money for the two elders.
This departure, perhaps he would not return.
After returning to the Capital.
Chen Mo arranged a feast, inviting Gao Zheng, Li Weiqiu, Huangfu Hao, among others, along with some acquaintances not too close but known for a long time.
During the feast, he didn’t refer to himself as ’this prince’ but used ’I’, only to make them feel less restrained.
After the banquet.
Xiao Yunxi called him to Weiyang Palace.
She made a robe and a pair of boots for Chen Mo, all sewn with her own hands.
She also entrusted Chen Mo with some items and a letter for Zhao Fujin.
Chen Mo left the Heaven-Burning Furnace to her.
This furnace was originally snatched from Xiao Yunqi, so it was returned to its rightful owner.
That night, Xiao Yunxi kept Chen Mo in Weiyang Palace, serving attentively, even when exhausted, she couldn’t bear to close her eyes, fearing she’d lose sight of him as soon as she did.
But that day still came.
A massive flying boat appeared in the sky over Bianliang.
