The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 1012 General Method
It's obvious what Feng Wan's intentions were in coming here at this time.

She was also a person of firm will. Once she made a decision, she was not prepared to give up, even if she encountered Hongyue coming out of Young Master Chen's room.

After the initial awkwardness subsided, she deliberately lowered her head, intending to pretend she hadn't seen the other person, and continued walking forward.

On the contrary, Ming Hongyue was more shameless and immediately reminded her with a smile, "Sister Feng, your 'Nine Heavens Immortal Body' hasn't truly awakened yet, so you can't 'lose control'!"

This time, Feng Wan had no choice but to stop and glance at her sideways, saying, "You used to always imply that I liked the young master but didn't dare to act, but you're even more anxious than me..."

Although she always secretly reads unhealthy publications and seems like a "pervert," she actually mustered up a lot of courage to come to Zhao Chen tonight.

Because she realized that after the young master achieved supernatural powers, he had drifted further and further away from her.

This "distance" doesn't refer to physical distance, but rather to the gap in perspective, cognition, status, and other levels... If she continues to be reserved, she might really miss out on it... She doesn't want to have any regrets.

Although she knew that once her so-called "Nine Heavens Immortal Body" was awakened, it would definitely bring great benefits to the young master.

But what was she back then? A tool for practicing martial arts? Although she didn't mind, she was unwilling to be just a tool.

Her late-night visit was not only to repay the young master's "kindness," but also to demonstrate her own attitude and value; she wanted to tell him that she was a trustworthy person.

Feng Wan was unaware that she was already one of Zhao Chen's "own people," otherwise she wouldn't have been so concerned about these matters.

“Young Master Chen and I were discussing serious business!” Ming Hongyue raised her voice, speaking with “righteous indignation.”

Dealing with that "birdman" is naturally the most "right" thing to do.

Feng Wan scrutinized her carefully, then snorted and said, "Straighten your clothes before you say that!"

Not only were the buttons on her skirt misaligned, but most of her lipstick had also fallen off. And yet she dared to talk about serious business?
Ming Hongyue was speechless for a moment. Her thoughts were in disarray, and she had indeed forgotten about that...

Watching Feng Wan walk past her with her head held high toward the lounge, Ming Hongyue blinked and muttered to herself, "She's usually so aloof, but her words are so sharp right now... Is she jealous?"
"There should still be some apprehension and nervousness... but the great supernatural power of 'Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One' truly lives up to its reputation as 'the beauty of the Great Way,' and how many people can resist its temptation?"

“At that time, Feng Wan’s ‘Mysterious Female Spring’ was all over the bath water, and Young Master Chen’s ‘Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True One’ state could not be controlled at will, so some of the effects were always revealed. She was probably already aroused by him, right? In addition, she already liked him, so it’s quite remarkable that she was able to wait until now to come.”

She shook her head slightly. In fact, the princess was in an even worse state just now, and even lost her composure for a while. Now that she thought about it, if Young Master Chen hadn't stopped, she definitely wouldn't have been able to hold on.

“No wonder he has so many female warriors around him…” Ming Hongyue sighed softly, feeling that she was really “finished” this time. “Fortunately, I have the nourishment of the ‘Five Emperors Paying Homage to the True Ones’, so I’m not entirely at a disadvantage… right?”

……

In the following days, Zhao Chen spent his nights quite fulfilling, in addition to his secluded cultivation.

The princess and the female knight from the southern desert had also reached a tacit understanding: one would arrive in the first half of the night, and the other in the second half, leaving a half-hour gap in between to avoid running into each other and to allow Zhao Chen to rest for a while.

Although he didn't actually take them, Zhao Chen had witnessed firsthand the variety of "storybooks" and "photographs" Feng Wan had been secretly reading over the past few days, which truly broadened his horizons. In general, Feng Wan was like a pure and aloof snow lotus atop a snow-capped mountain, with icy skin and jade-like bones, breathtaking curves, exuding a sense of distance yet inviting exploration.

Red Moon is like a peony glistening with morning dew in spring, delicate and vibrant, exuding playfulness and whimsy, within reach yet incredibly lively.

Each one truly has its own unique beauty...

After seeing off Feng Wan, whose heart was burning with passion, Zhao Chen sighed and then, taking advantage of the unique "emptiness of the four elements" state of the "Joy" lineage, continued to study the wisp of "destruction" he had obtained from Su Xuanbing.

He had a feeling that the sword capable of cleaving through the so-called "extraterrestrial meteorite" should be born today!
This is not only because Zhao Chen's understanding of "laws" and "true meaning" is more profound after achieving supernatural powers, but also because he has comprehended the "world-destroying demonic fire" supernatural power he obtained from the "Tai Xiao Secret Realm" in the past few days, as well as the complete "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise".

The latter, in particular, better aligns with the dualistic state of the "Flower Goddess," where "life contains destruction, and destruction gives birth to new life."

"So this sword strike must not only cut open the fruit of the 'Langyuan Qingqiong Yaohua' and take out the 'Liuli Xingdeng' inside, but also not completely destroy the fruit. It must also bring it back to life... After all, that fruit is the best material for my future new 'Flower Fairy' Shi Wenxuan to rebuild her body and reshape her foundation."

"It can't be destroyed so easily..."

After Shi Wenxuan was given to Zhao Chen as a "thank you gift" by the emperor, he decided to save her because he admired the heroine's will to take revenge and also to give Xiao Ling face.

However, because the fruit has not been cut open yet, it has been delayed... Fortunately, the cargo hold of the "Star Chariot" can be maintained, so there is no need to worry that her true spirit will dissipate.

"In that case, creation or destruction are merely appearances; the key is actually maintaining their 'dualistic' state!"

Having figured this out, Zhao Chen suddenly understood. Whether it was Su Xuanbing's "Lotus Immortal Body" or the Taiping Dao's "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall rise," they only reflected a part of this dualistic state and did not fully capture its essence.

On the contrary, the Dao contained in the "Night Light" great supernatural power of the "Primordial Beginning" lineage is similar to it... Of course, it is only similar, after all, Zhao Chen does not have the cultivation method behind "Night Light" and does not know its true purpose.

"So that's how it is... I understand!" Zhao Chen's eyes gleamed, and then he formed a sword with his fingers and slashed forward.

Immediately afterwards, a sword light, though not very bright, but with a terrifying aura, appeared. Within it, it seemed as if the world was being created and destroyed, constantly severing fate, cause and effect, and time, yet generating new fate, cause and effect, and time.

The simultaneous occurrence of both was breathtaking!

Of course, given Zhao Chen's current level of cultivation, it's impossible for him to actually contain all life within the sword light; it's merely an illusion created by the "laws" and "principles" inherent within it.

Even so, the power of this sword technique can rival some first-grade divine abilities.

At least if it were the Zheng Qingyan of the past, this sword would have been enough to break her "Evil Dragon Undying Body"!
At the same time, Zhao Chen suddenly realized that he had mastered all the supernatural powers related to "life" and "destruction" that he had been researching, and could now use them normally with the "Myriad Manifestations" supernatural power.

So, I guess I've... mastered a "method"?
The attainment of "comprehension of the law" is the pinnacle sought in the great realm of "comprehension of the mystery," and only cultivators who have mastered at least one law are qualified to "penetrate the mystery."
It can be said that in terms of comprehending the laws, Zhao Chen is actually no worse than those cultivators who have crossed the third ladder of supernatural powers.

The only pity is that the "law" he mastered was not a fundamental supernatural power.
