Chapter 450: 277: Returning with Li Wuji on the Road_2
Chen Sheng would indeed like to do so.
The library of the Yihe Gate is not far away.
If he goes there, he can see a large number of secret skills.
However,
Chen Sheng cannot see.
Identifying the contents of the books through touch alone would be too slow.
Besides, most of the secret skills are inherited in various forms.
Very few are in textual form like the Holy Scripture of Withering and Flourishing.
The most crucial point is.
The library is an essential place for the Yihe Gate after all.
Although Chen Sheng believes that they should not refuse his visit.
It’s different if others invite him compared to him invading on his own.
There is no need to rush for now.
With this thought,
Chen Sheng once again retracts his mind and begins to focus on his perception.
The body illusion that he has constructed already has flesh and bones.
Next are the internal organs, nerves, and cells.
If the body is not built well enough, it would be challenging to cultivate secret skills.
To achieve this,
He needs a much stronger sense of touch than now.
Many people who have lost certain sensory abilities usually enhance their remaining senses via extensive training.
As for Chen Sheng-
He has lost most senses, leaving only touch.
Therefore,
He plans to take this opportunity to thoroughly train his perception.
To enhance this remaining sense to an unprecedented level.
Just like that.
Chen Sheng maintains his cross-legged posture at all times.
In the outside world,
Time quietly slips away.
The scorching sun slowly rises to the highest point, then starts to slant westward.
By the time the sky is painted by red mist,
There is a figure approaching the Yihe Gate.
“You can all rest for a while.”
“Although the matter within Kyoto is temporarily concluded for now.”
“After this battle, more than half of the people in the Martial Arts Association were killed or injured. There are also various tasks to handle within Kyoto City.”
“In the upcoming period, these tasks will all fall onto you.”
Li Wuji stands with his hands behind his back, stationed in front of the gate of the mountain.
Compared to the previous night, his face looks much darker.
Although he’s not in a wheelchair now,
His voice exposes a weak aura when he speaks.
“Yes, chairman.”
Behind him,
The Yihe Gate disciples, with their dirty and weary appearances, lower their heads in agreement.
There are a total of seven Yihe Gate disciples, including Shen Ziming.
Now here, only three remain.
Though today’s rescue operation has entered the aftermath handling phase,
There still needs many hands on deck.
The remaining powerful three with abundant energy stayed in Kyoto to help.
Only the weaker three returned to the Yihe Gate for rest and recuperation.
“But, Chairman… before that, we want to pay our respects to Master.”
At this moment,
Zhang Yu steps forward and whispers.
Whenever Sun Yihe is mentioned, those at the scene can’t help but feel stirred.
Including Zhang Yu, the three disciples’ eyes are already filled with grief.
Compared to Shen Ziming.
They have been disciples for longer.
After many years together, Sun Yihe has become a father to them.
Now, they have to say goodbye forever.
Their immense grief is almost more than they can bear.
Hearing this,
Li Wuji sighs softly.
He slowly nods.
“Go.”
With his words,
The three figures behind him disappear from the spot.
Li Wuji raises his head, looking at that mountain peak in the center of the Yihe Gate, the one that was trampled.
“Old Sun,”
“I have wronged you.”
“Wait for me,”
“I’ll come apologize to you properly after I die.”
“But before that, give me some time.”
“Without doing anything, without seeing the end of the heavenly person, I just can’t let it go.”
In The midst of his words,
Li Wuji strides over the boundary monument of Yihe Gate’s gate.
The old man’s body appears to be more contorted.
There seems to be a decaying aura emanating from his body.
But Li Wuji doesn’t care.
He senses the location of Chen Sheng and slowly goes towards it.
Soon after,
A rumbling sound comes into his ears.
The strong wind blows Li Wuji’s beard.
He continues to move forward without stopping.
The pressure continues to build.
He senses the suffocating, frightening aura emanating from Chen Sheng.
Even though feeling it several times,
Li Wuji still can’t help but marvel in his heart.
How terrifying.
How astonishing.
Such horrifying physical strength is something the past him wouldn’t have dared to imagine.
It’s simply not something a human should be capable of.
Until now,
Li Wuji no longer perceives Chen Sheng as a martial artist with unique talents.
In his understanding, the rise of Chen Sheng’s strength could not be explained by mere talent alone.
There must have been other secrets about him.
However,
Li Wuji had no intention of probing into those secrets.
He was not in the position to uncover the secrets of the strong.
As for Chen Sheng,
As long as he stood with the humans, it was enough.
Perhaps, Chen Sheng was the hope that the world offered humanity in this era.
With that thought in mind,
Finally,
The god-like figure came into Li Wuji’s eyesight.
The pressure on Li Wuji reached its peak.
A fierce wind blew fiercely.
The thunder roared.
Compared to before, the disturbances around Chen Sheng had become even more intense.
Just standing near him, Li Wuji felt as if he could hear the groaning of his body struggling to cope with the enormity of it all.
He wanted to call out Chen Sheng.
However, upon opening his mouth, he remembered Chen Sheng’s current situation.
Luckily,
Xiao Hei detected his presence and quickly extended an appendage to inform Chen Sheng.
At present,
Chen Sheng could only communicate with the outside world through touch and found it difficult to identify others.
The only way was through Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei could see and had met most of Chen Sheng’s acquaintances, it was impossible for it to deceive Chen Sheng.
Therefore,
Getting the message from Xiao Hei,
Swish!
All the disturbances disappeared in an instant.
“You’re here.”
Chen Sheng lifted his head, facing the direction of Li Wuji.
His pupils were full of white.
But oddly enough, Li Wuji felt as if he was being watched.
Not by Chen Sheng’s eyes,
But by something deeper.
Knowing that Chen Sheng could not hear him,
Li Wuji said nothing.
He moved forward again, coming to Chen Sheng’s side.
But before he could say anything,
He saw Xiao Hei started wriggling at Chen Sheng’s knuckles.
Eventually,
It transformed into a blackboard in front of Li Wuji.
“Whatever you want to say, just write it here.”
Chen Sheng always felt awkward having different people touch and draw on him, and Xiao Hei taking over was far more comfortable.
This was the first time that Xiao Hei appeared before Li Wuji.
If this had been a day earlier, Li Wuji would definitely be shocked.
But now,
Compared to the impact of Chen Sheng’s power, the appearance of Xiao Hei didn’t even cause a ripple in Li Wuji’s heart.
He didn’t ask too many questions.
He stretched out his arm and began to write on the blackboard.
“Do you need anything from me considering your current situation?”
“The whole Martial Arts Association, including Wu’an Bureau, will do their utmost if you speak up.”
Li Wuji knew very well.
Saying these words now,
Might seem like bootlicking, seeing Chen Sheng as powerful and trying to curry favor with him.
But he cared not.
He had once wanted to be a pillar of humanity.
But he had failed.
Not only did he fail, he nearly caused a catastrophe.
Now,
Chen Sheng might be the stabilizing force among humans.
His personal dignity mattered little compared to that.
“I do need your help.”
Chen Sheng was not being formal either.
Whether it was for practicing secret skills, or absorbing spiritual power,
No matter how strong an individual he was, his energy was finite.
Only by leveraging the power of both the Martial Arts Association and Wu’an Bureau,
He could enhance his strength to the maximum in the shortest time.
“But now,”
“I do have some questions for you.”
Chen Sheng had many doubts that were yet unaddressed.
Like,
How did the people in the past, beat Heavenly Person who were so strong?
Why could Heavenly Person possess such immense power?
And what did Xuanwu mean by thieves?
As he finished talking,
Chen Sheng told Li Wuji about what happened during his battle with the Respected Elder.
Li Wuji, who had been relatively calm, was shocked beyond words after listening.
He had initially thought that Chen Sheng was limited in sensation and had been counterattacked fiercely by the Respected Elder.
After all,
The Elder, with authority over the Heart’s power and a Heavenly Person’s body, was extremely powerful.
It was already remarkable that Chen Sheng won the fight.
There’s no way he came out unscathed.
But now,
After listening to Chen Sheng’s recount,
Words couldn’t describe the shock in Li Wuji’s heart.
Chen Sheng had actually thrashed the Respected Elder until he disintegrated into ashes.
And he killed Respected Elder, who was possessed by Heavenly Person again, just by losing sensation?
The old man had not felt such a failure in a long time.
His wide-open mouth couldn’t close for a long time, and he could not utter a single word.
Until that moment,
Li Wuji realized,
Despite having elevated Chen Sheng’s status in his mind over and over again,
He had probably been underestimating him.
