“Alright, I understand. Thank you for your special announcement. I’ll tell Master the truth. Goodbye.”

Zheng Yuanlin closed the communication on his personal terminal and turned to walk into the room behind him.

As soon as he entered, he discovered that Mu Yutong was not sitting on his favorite sofa in the middle of the room. Instead, he was standing on the balcony with his back facing the door. He looked at the distant mountains outside as if he was in thought.

For some reason, Zheng Yuanlin actually saw a trace of loneliness in his back.

Zheng Yuanlin did not dare to disturb Mu Yutong’s thoughts. He gently closed the door and stood on the spot to wait quietly.

After an unknown period of time, Mu Yutong suddenly let out a long sigh.

“Yuanlin, do you think… I did something wrong?”

Zheng Yuanlin was shocked.

He had been taken in by Mu Yutong since he was young and had followed him for more than 30 years. In his impression, Mu Yutong was filled with confidence and domineering at all times. He had never said such dejected words before.

What had happened?

Countless thoughts raced through Zheng Yuanlin’s mind. A moment later, a thought flashed through his mind and he understood.

He paused for a moment and whispered, “Master, no one expected Chu Nan’s talent to be so shocking, so this is not your fault.”

Mu Yutong turned around and revealed a smile.

“As expected, you know me the best, Yuanlin. However, you’re wrong. Indeed, no one expected Chu Nan’s talent to far exceed the imagination of me and Norman. However, if I did not want to use him to do those things to him back then and only needed to give him some appropriate guidance and help, I believe he would not have suffered such an accident and his growth would have been smoother and faster.”

Zheng Yuanlin pondered for a moment and shook his head lightly.

“I don’t think so. Master, you once said that the growth experience of every martial artist is different. If every powerful martial artist wants to grow, they have to experience countless tests. They even have to experience life and death several times. Only those who can pass can become true experts. Although Chu Nan’s rapid growth is related to his talent, it should be related to his experience. If not for such huge pressure and danger, he would not have broken through so quickly. He might not even be able to break through the Cosmic Heaven’s Gate now.”

Mu Yutong shook his head.

“You don’t have to comfort me like this. I’ve seen that video analysis. He shouldn’t have become a Heaven Control expert like you at that time, but he had already shown signs of breaking through. I don’t know how he did it, but just this point is enough to prove that his talent is much more terrifying than we thought. Even without enough pressure and danger, his growth must have been extremely fast. I’m afraid he has already surpassed Tianyou.”

Hearing Mu Yutong mention Qi Tianyou, Zheng Yuanlin immediately grasped the opportunity and smiled, “Just now, the royal family of the Declan Empire…”

Mu Yutong raised his hand and interrupted Zheng Yuanlin.

“I understand. According to the previous plan, arrange for Tianyou to register and participate. In addition, tell him this news and what I just said.”

Zheng Yuanlin glanced at Mu Yutong in surprise and thought to himself, Chu Nan is already dead, so why did he still use it to provoke Junior Brother Tianyou?

“Do as I say,” Mu Yutong said indifferently.

“Yes.” Zheng Yuanlin hurriedly lowered his head.

After explaining this, Mu Yutong turned around and looked at the distant mountains again.

Just as Zheng Yuanlin was about to leave the room, Mu Yutong suddenly sighed.

“Yuanlin, not only did we lose a chance to obtain a powerful cultivation method from the Declan Empire, but more importantly, our Earth Federation might have lost a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist like this.”

Zheng Yuanlin’s heart trembled. He did not expect his master to have such a high evaluation of Chu Nan.

However, on second thought, he was relieved.

After any knowledgeable martial artist saw that video, they would probably no longer doubt Chu Nan’s talent.

If he lived and successfully survived, it was very likely that he would become a powerful Star-Grade Martial Artist in the future.

However… he was dead.

Pew!

Chu Nan had long lost his skin, and only flesh and blood were left on his left arm. A few small holes appeared in the air and a few pieces of flesh shot out. They were instantly crushed into the tiniest basic particles by the violent spatial energy of the alternate space and turned into nothingness.

Chu Nan’s body trembled slightly, causing the surrounding violent spatial energy to flow chaotically, immediately causing the injuries on his body to become even more serious.

Fortunately, at this moment, a milky white light flashed and instantly healed the injuries on his body.

Although this almost caused the violent spatial energy introduced into Chu Nan’s body to lose control and his meridians were severely injured, forcing him to divert more Internal Breath to circulate the Flame of Life to repair his meridians and body, causing the time he calculated to decrease by an hour, he was not shocked but happy.

After a total of 71,837 attempts, he finally successfully grasped the method to maintain the circulation of his Internal Breath in his meridians after leaving his body. Moreover, he successfully investigated the circulation pattern and frequency of his Internal Breath when it came into contact with the violent spatial energy of the outside world.

This meant that he had finally taken the first step forward.

After the Flame of Life healed his meridians and physical injuries, Chu Nan organized and analyzed the various statistics he had tried in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he activated the Flame of Life again and exhausted a portion of his Internal Breath to repair the injuries in his meridians and other parts of his body further. He no longer maintained the minimum like before.

The new attempt that was about to begin might encounter various unexpected situations. He had to leave a portion of his body that could endure the damage to ensure his safety.

After making these preparations, Chu Nan carefully checked the situation of the various parts of his body again. At the same time, he checked the circulation of his Internal Breath and ensured that everything was under control. Only then did he calm down and carefully draw out a trace of Internal Breath from his dantian.

This trace of Internal Breath first circulated for a cycle according to the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique that Chu Nan had confirmed before. Then, it circulated for the second cycle…

They continued in succession until the sixth cycle circulated the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique. This trace of Internal Breath passed through a fine meridian in Chu Nan’s arm and seeped out of his body.

Previously, Chu Nan had always maintained the balance between the spatial energy in his body and the violent spatial energy in the outside world in his flesh. Now that his Internal Breath seeped out of this balance, it was as if a drop of water had been thrown into the violent spatial energy like a boiling pot of oil in the outside world, instantly causing a huge reaction in the alternate space.

However, the intense reaction was instantly calmed.

This trace of Internal Breath had been carefully tested and adjusted by Chu Nan and had already perfectly reached the same frequency as the violent spatial energy of the outside world. Although it initially caused an intense reaction because of the abnormality, it quickly perfectly fused with the violent spatial energy of the outside world and fused into one, just like the Internal Breath in his body and the violent spatial energy that guided him into his body.

After carefully controlling this trace of Internal Breath to circulate on the surface of his arm a few times and confirming that it would not cause any accidents, Chu Nan was overjoyed and controlled it to wander around the surface of his body.
