Chapter 52: Remorse and Shame

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The teacher in their imagination should be an expert about 80 to 100 years old, exuding a sense of celestial air.

But it was actually the infamous Xia Qingchen?

This joke wasn’t funny at all!

Shen Jinghong stared at her with disappointment. “Just take that I, the martial legend, and my grandfather are all joking then!”

He clasped his fists to the crowd and sighed. “You guys best shape up.”

After speaking, he turned and moved into the snow and wind, chasing after Xia Qingchen, leaving behind everyone who was now extremely shocked in the pavilion.

Only now did the students who had seriously listened to Xia Qingchen have a sense of enlightenment.

“No wonder I felt the problems and suggestions Xia Qingchen pointed out for me was extremely deep!”

“That’s right, I feel the same way as well. His insights seemed to be even deeper compared to the martial tutors!”

“It is truly the case. I feel that he struck the crux with every word he mentioned!”

“I can feel that if I practiced according to Xia Qingchen’s guidance, I would be able to break through to the middle constellation stage in ten days to half-a-month.

The seven to eight students discussed with excitement on their faces.

When they were listening to the guidance provided, they already felt that Xia Qingchen was extraordinary.

But because they were the minority, they didn’t dare to express their thoughts.

Now after they knew that Xia Qingchen was actually the godly teacher they were waiting for with anticipation, all of them felt like they just picked up a gem and were extremely joyful.

“Go! Let’s head to the cultivation chamber together to verify this.” The eight students were extremely happy and impatiently went to cultivate.

The remaining students all had complicated looks on their faces!

“Shaoxuan, your memory is good. Earlier when Xia Qingchen is guiding us, do you still remember what he said? I…I’ve forgotten everything!”

Shaoxuan had a face filled with regret. “I treated him like a madman. How would I care about his words? I don’t even remember what he told me.”

The current atmosphere was terrible. Everyone was grinding their brain juices, trying to recall what Xia Qingchen had guided them on.

Even Zhou Xuelin was silently recalling.

However, she hadn’t seriously listened to Xia Qingchen. How could she recall anything?

Her heart was in chaos, and she stomped her foot. “It must be fake. I won’t believe that you are a teacher. I will show you who’s the strongest after I return from the Myriad Longevity Manor!”

Speaking of Xia Qingchen.

After he returned to his pavilion, just as he was preparing to cultivate, Qin Lin found him, a smile appearing on his face.

“I finally found you.” He took out two cards. One was gold and the other was silver. Along with an authority token, he passed them all to Xia Qingchen. “These are the rewards for your accomplishment in exposing Li Weifeng. I’ve collected them and now, I shall pass them to you.”

Xia Qingchen swept the things into his hands and mumbled in slight shock, “The rewards aren’t little!”

He didn’t recognize the authority token. But the gold and silver card were not ordinary.

These were money cards issued by the martial pavilion. The color of the cards would change according to the amount of silver stored.

For the silver card, it meant that the amount within the card had reached one million taels of silver.

As for the gold card, the amount had reached ten million taels.

Qin Lin himself also had some rewards. His face was red as he laughed. “The authority token will allow you to enter the Myriad Longevity Manor. Only senior students from the A class with outstanding results can obtain this. Moreover, there are only a total of twenty tokens.”

Myriad Longevity Manor?

Xia Qingchen heard of this place before.

“Myriad Longevity Manor is a wondrous land in the martial pavilion. The essence qi there will be five times more than the outside world once winter has arrived, and it will continue for about a month.” Qin Lin replied.

Xia Qingchen involuntarily laughed. “What a timely opportunity!”

In order for one to break through to the middle constellation stage, they needed an environment with extremely dense essence qi.

Five times denser than the outside world was the most basic requirement.

“If you intend to participate this year, you best make some preparations immediately. Half a month later, the martial pavilion will begin to assemble a group of people to participate in it!”

“Right.” Xia Qingchen nodded.

He then left the martial pavilion and went to the Ghostwail Forest.

Since he temporarily had no way to break through his cultivation realm, he decided to focus his training on [Cloudlight Nature Sound] and the [Four-Forms Ancient Scroll].

His movement technique was gradually falling behind his cultivation. It was the same for his attacking martial skills.

Half a month later.

The sound of someone speeding through the Ghostwail Forest rang out. A figure was moving with the speed of the wind, rushing through the area.

This was none other than Xia Qingchen.

After he continued to train in his movement technique, he managed to reach the second level of the [Cloudlight Nature Sound], traveling forty feet with a single step.

When he executed it, his figure was like the wind chasing after the clouds.

“Nine Dragons in the Sky!” He leaped from the ground and turned in the air before aiming a palm strike at the ground.

Nine vortexes of inner force gathered in his palm!

The vortexes were formed from the compression of the inner force via his martial meridians. Not only was the inner force in them dense, but they also contained a sense of explosive might.

The nine vortexes blasted holes in the ground, charring the earth.

With regards to might, the power of Barbaric Elephant Gallops in the Wild wasn’t even 50% of this ‘Nine Dragons in the Sky’.

Half a month ago at the martial exchange meet, if he could have used this move, Zhou Xuelin would have exploded and died.

Xia Qingchen floated down and nodded slightly. “If I break through to the middle constellation stage, there shouldn’t be anyone that can match me among my generation in Lone Cloud City.

He did a rough calculation of the time, and there was still one more day before the martial pavilion would set off.

Xia Qingchen returned home and prepared to bid farewell to his father.

But just when he came back, he saw people from the Shrine leaving.

Xia Yuan stood at the door and escorted them away with his gaze.

“What did the people of the Shrine come here for?” Xia Qingchen asked.

“It’s good that you came back.” Xia Yuan passed a red-colored invitation over. “One to two months later, the once-in-three-years Divine Bestowment Meet of the Shrine will be held. Miss Zhen specially invited you over; you mustn’t miss it.”

Divine bestowment was a sacred ritual that each Shrine would organize, inviting the believers.

And at that time, the deities would bestow martial cultivation to believers.

Many pious believers would gain an increase in their cultivation because of this.

There were even times where a believer’s cultivation base increased by an entire level.

It was an extremely rare-to-come-by opportunity. No martial practitioners would be willing to miss it.

“Divine bestowment?” A complicated look flashed in Xia Qingchen’s eyes.

A thousand years ago, he who was the Godking Dustless had crossed realms to bestow martial strength to his believers.

A thousand years later, he had actually fallen to the point where he would be one of those receiving the bestowment.

As he thought of this, his desire to climb back to the peak intensified.

“At that time, I will go over to observe.” Xia Qingchen’s eyes were filled with melancholy. He wished to do a check himself. Now that a thousand years had passed, how many deities who had followed him back then would still be loyal to him now?

Xia Yuan nodded.

He gazed at Xia Qingchen and hesitated to speak for a few times. In the end, he lowered his voice. “Qingchen, what do you think of Churan?”

Mhm?

Why would he suddenly bring her up?
