211: Chapter 204: Defying the Heavens’ Goal 211: Chapter 204: Defying the Heavens’ Goal Su Chen was dumbfounded.
Even at this moment, with his whole body bleeding and falling apart, in excruciating pain, all his thoughts and attention were still entirely focused on Wenren Nongyue.
Inconceivably dumbfounded.
How could she be so strong?
Su Chen considered himself to be very knowledgeable, after all, he had a hundred years of memories from his past life… But at this instant, he still felt as though he had lived his past and present lives in vain.
He was very clear about the strength of that beanie-hatted old man; it was no exaggeration to say that the old man had the power to kill him instantly.
And Wenren Nongyue could instantly kill the beanie-hatted old man.
The gap between them, going back and forth…
The only thing that Su Chen could be sure of now was that Wenren Nongyue’s true strength must have surpassed the Grandmaster Realm level.
In his previous life, he always thought that the Grandmaster Realm Peak Phase was the limit of martial arts cultivation, but now it seems, haha…
like the proverbial frog in the well!
“This is the ‘True Fire Body Refinement’, the complete ‘True Fire Body Refinement’, and then, if you can step into the Noble Realm within three years, my Taoist Soul Clone that remains in the Wenren Family will marry you and bear offspring for the Wenren household,” the next second, while Su Chen was still in the extreme shock of his chaotic thoughts, Wenren Nongyue spoke.
Her voice was not particularly cold.
But, there was a flatness to it that felt as if she was keeping others at a distance of a thousand miles.
Su Chen finally snapped back to reality.
He looked at Wenren Nongyue, wanting to see her face clearly, but he couldn’t, he really couldn’t; Wenren Nongyue seemed to be enshrouded in a layer of immortal mist.
Biting his teeth, Su Chen took a deep breath to forcibly calm himself down, while his mind echoed with Wenren Nongyue’s words just now.
There was no need to mention the ‘True Fire Body Refinement’; this must be the body refining technique that is the heritage of the Wenren family, which Wenren Zhaixing promised to gift him.
And the Noble Realm mentioned by Wenren Nongyue was something Su Chen had never even heard of.
As for ‘this Taoist Soul Clone’ mentioned by Wenren Nongyue, it was utterly shocking to Su Chen!!!
It was like something out of a myth.
“What is the Noble Realm?” Su Chen asked in a deep voice.
“The Mysterious Qi Realm is only the starting point for martial cultivators, and it’s not even considered the real beginning.
The Mysterious Qi Realm includes Mysterious Qi Training, Mysterious Qi Internal Strength, and Mysterious Qi Grandmaster.
After the Mysterious Qi Realm is the Noble Realm, which is divided into the Human Level Venerable, Earth Level Venerable, and Heavenly Eminent.
As for what lies beyond the Noble Realm, for now, you’re better off not knowing!”
Wenren Nongyue spoke casually, but Su Chen’s heart was already being hit by a tsunami-like shock.
Martial arts cultivation truly has no limits.
The achievements of his past life that he was so proud of were really not worth mentioning at all.
Su Chen shook his head with a wry smile.
It seemed that Wenren Nongyue could see Su Chen’s dejection, and she said, “You don’t have to belittle yourself, nor should you lose balance in your mindset.
With your age, the strength you possess now is quite remarkable.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have saved you.”
Feeling that her words weren’t clear enough, Wenren Nongyue continued, “Since I appeared and saved you, it means I’ve initially recognized you.
And Gao Qianzhang died by your hand because I deemed him unworthy of me—even now when I’m merely a Taoist Soul Clone.”
Su Chen didn’t speak.
But, abruptly, he clenched his fists tight!!!
There was a feeling of oppression and frustration.
‘I’ve initially recognized you’—these few words from Wenren Nongyue made him feel as if his dignity had fallen to the ground, as though he were a cabbage being picked out in a market.
This feeling wasn’t good—really not good.
“Dignity is built upon the foundation of strength.
The humiliation you feel now is simply because you lack strength!” Wenren Nongyue kept speaking, her voice still as calm as if narrating a matter of fact.
“Can you explain to me what you mean by a ‘Taoist Soul Clone’?” Su Chen once again suppressed the humiliation and despondency in his heart and asked.
“A drop of Essence Blood and a wisp of Divine Soul refined through a secret technique!” Wenren Nongyue spoke slowly, “My Taoist Soul Clone will completely dissipate in three years, returning to a drop of Essence Blood and a wisp of Divine Soul, returning to the original self.”
“So you’re saying, even if I reach the Noble Realm and marry you, I would just be marrying a Taoist Soul Clone of you?
And after three years, you will completely vanish?” Su Chen smiled wryly and shook his head.
“Indeed, although the truth might be hurtful, the fact is, if it were really me, my original self, even with your current strength—a thousand times stronger—you would still be unable to approach within ten meters of me.
My aura would be so oppressive that you couldn’t breathe or stand.
So, do you think you could be the man for my original self?” Wenren Nongyue didn’t mean to mock but was indeed stating a fact: “And even if you did have terrifyingly supreme strength, my original self would still not possibly be your fiancée.
My original self has dedicated this life to becoming the Supreme Heavenly Empress, with no intention of finding a man—whether it’s you or any of the geniuses in any plane of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.”
“….” Su Chen fell silent.
He didn’t think Wenren Nongyue was joking or trying to scare him knowingly, so that meant, everything she said was true.
And from Wenren Nongyue’s short narrative, Su Chen had already received many pieces of news that nearly made him dizzy————
First, the real Wenren Nongyue wasn’t Chinese or even an Earthling but belonged to another plane among the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
Second, Wenren Nongyue was tremendously powerful, beyond his imagination.
Third, Wenren Nongyue appeared rather merciless, like the Merciless Heavenly Dao of legend, only pursuing the position of ‘Empress’, where romantic feelings for her were as the void.
“Do you have any other questions?” Wenren Nongyue asked, seemingly ready to leave.
“What is the strength of this Taoist Soul Clone of yours?” Su Chen stared deeply at Wenren Nongyue and finally asked.
Wenren Nongyue was silent for a moment, then suddenly, her entire being vanished.
To Su Chen’s ears came a faint voice: “At the Peak Phase of the Human Level Venerable, with the strength to contend against a Mid-phase Honorable Realm of the Heavenly Position!”
After Wenren Nongyue left.
Su Chen stood in place, uttering not a word; no one knew what he was thinking.
It wasn’t until a long, long time later that Su Chen’s eyes suddenly burst with light, and his entire demeanor changed drastically!!!
The vibrancy, confidence, and more—all returned to him.
“Wenren Nongyue, my goal for the next ten years is to catch up to you in strength, to conquer you, the person you are—yes, I mean your original self!” Su Chen made an oath in his heart, one that was almost laughably ambitious.
“Having been reborn, I can’t just live in vain.
I need a goal, a dream, don’t I?” Su Chen felt an inexplicably vigorous excitement.
Sometimes, having a transcendent goal can provide a person with even more motivation.
And conquering Wenren Nongyue, the real Wenren Nongyue, the one who dedicated her life to attaining the position of the Supreme Empress, was such a transcendent goal.
