Chapter 1339: Chapter 398: All-In Chen Yan
The most important thing is that the items buried under the tree in the neighboring courtyard won’t have any issues.
Although the old tortoise is physically present, his mind is elsewhere, he is quite loyal to me aside from those aspects.
Hmm, there is just one entity that is "more loyal."
Casually dismissing the old tortoise from the cave dwelling, I sent him back to the villa.
Chen Yan summoned Big White, hugging Big White and cuddling for a while before sighing deeply.
"Big White, oh Big White, for the days ahead, it’s up to you to help guard the cave dwelling here for me.
Hmm, don’t bully that frog too often, it’s still very useful to me."
Big White tried hard to shake his head, letting out a low whimper that seemed to carry a bit of dissatisfaction.
"It’s not that I don’t want to take you out, but that skylark is staying in the Mirror World and refuses to come out. I offered to lend her the Mahjong tiles to block the Heavenly Dao, but she didn’t want them, so you have to be wronged for guarding the house here."
Chen Yan snuggled with Big White for a while longer, then took out some food to feed him.
He left a lot of food in the cave dwelling, all placed in a room used as a warehouse, almost completely filling the room.
With the array and primordial qi stabilizing it, the food can be stored for a long time.
Chen Yan also instructed the old tortoise to come over regularly to feed Big White.
After completing these tasks, Chen Yan entered a room which he had prepared for himself as a bedroom in the cave dwelling.
He took off the Magical Artifact he had on him—the Storage Jade Pendant, he removed it and carefully hid it after placing it. The room still had an array protecting it, making it safe from outsiders.
Thinking it over, Chen Yan took out only one item.
A ring!
He threaded it onto a metal chain and hung it around his neck.
Besides the ring, Chen Yan no longer had any Magical Artifacts on him! There was no more connection to cultivation!
After completing all this, Chen Yan left the house, activating the array of that room.
He left the cave dwelling, walking to more secluded areas of the hills...
·
The forest grew deeper as he walked, moving away from the lake until reaching a point three to four kilometers away from the "Celestial Vault Star Array" placed by Chen Yan to guard the cave dwelling.
Going further wouldn’t be good, otherwise, he’d leave this range of hills and enter other districts.
After all, in a big city like Jinling Prefecture, the surroundings have a dense population.
At this moment, Chen Yan was amidst the woods, surrounded by forests. It was night, without moonlight or stars—today’s weather wasn’t good, with some clouds and mist in the sky.
In the forest, it was pitch black, and visibility was low.
Chen Yan casually found an open space, not caring if the ground was dirty, and sat down, crossing his legs.
He closed his eyes, beginning to channel primordial qi!
Not channeling inward, but...
Outward!
·
The primordial qi that filled his meridians, those abundant flowing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were expelled from his body one thread at a time!
This process was actually quite painful. As Chen Yan silently operated his cultivation technique, the primordial qi left his body in strands, like tearing apart flesh!
Having cultivated to the Peak of the Third Realm, Chen Yan’s primordial qi and body had already formed a very deep affinity!
This process felt like tearing apart a part of his own body!!
With each strand of primordial qi forcibly expelled, Chen Yan’s aura significantly weakened!
This process was very painful, and exhausting!
Because just after being expelled, the primordial qi would, due to inertia, swirl around Chen Yan’s body, lingering for a moment and not dispersing.
If Chen Yan moved slightly, this primordial qi was further attracted to his body, as if his body was attached to it.
Chen Yan’s body had been nourished by primordial qi for a long time and had consumed quite a few elixirs, in simple terms, it was no longer a Mortal Body but a "Dao Body"!
Even without channeling primordial qi, he naturally drew upon the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
However, this attraction wouldn’t draw the primordial qi directly into the body—that required cultivation techniques.
But it would cause an increasing accumulation of primordial qi around him, which was the benefit of a "Dao Body." Once cultivation began and the technique operated, the primordial qi around his body would immediately become active, eagerly entering his body.
Like when fishing, even before casting the hook, the fish in the water actively swim to your side, gathering around waiting for you to bait.
Chen Yan spent several hours to expel every trace of primordial qi from his body’s meridians!
When all was done, the sky had already brightened!
Chen Yan was drenched in sweat, his hair already soaked.
His face appeared devoid of blood, and his eyes, once full of vibrance, had dimmed.
Like someone who stayed awake for days, his gaze now looking muddled and weary.
When all the primordial qi had dispersed, Chen Yan took a deep breath.
A flash of resoluteness passed in his gaze!
Then, he pressed the last trace of primordial qi within his fingers gently onto his眉心.
Instantly feeling a searing pain on his眉心, his vision turned dark, and he fell backward, collapsing!
The last thought was:
Damn, scattering technique really isn’t meant for mortals!
·
When the sunlight fell directly on Chen Yan, he finally woke up.
His body lay on the forest floor.
He moved his eyelids, opened his eyes and turned his head, seeing the wild plants up close.
A bit further away were the trees within the forest.
The air carried the unique dampness of the woods along with the scent of grass.
Chen Yan slowly climbed up from the ground.
This action immediately made him feel a difference.
His body seemed to weigh much heavier?
Not that his actual weight increased but... it was the contrast after losing primordial qi.
When primordial qi was within, flowing abundantly, those cultivating felt light, a full of energy sensation giving a false impression of being able to touch the sky with a jump.
Now with primordial qi gone, that feeling naturally dissipated.
It was actually just the normal sensation for an ordinary human, but the contrast made Chen Yan nearly topple again from initial difficulty in adjusting.
After several minutes of adjustment, he finally stood up.
The first few steps felt wobbly, even affecting his sense of balance slightly—resembling someone with vertigo.
The next sensation was of his control over his body becoming sluggish!
His response seemed to slow down as well.
And... his vision, his hearing...
As Chen Yan looked at the world, it seemed as if his vision was shrouded in a fog.
It was just that previously, as a cultivator, he was sharply aware with his five senses.
Now, in a Mortal Body!
Like dropping from a 4K ultra-high definition view back to standard definition.
"Well, it always takes some time to adapt."
Chen Yan sighed.
At this moment, Chen Yan had dispersed all his cultivation!
No longer was he the Peak of the Third Realm Cultivator Chen Yan.
Instead... an ordinary mortal, Chen Yan!
All the cultivation amassed through techniques and external Domain Realm forces—he let it all go!!
"Alas... years of cultivation reaching the Peak of the Third Realm, Celestial Being in sight... all reset to zero! Ha!"
Chen Yan laughed heartily.
His laughter echoed in the forest, growing louder and louder!
The cultivation gained from the Domain Realm’s cause and effect, I don’t want it at all!
This act of surrender to the Heavenly Dao, is it heavy enough?
Is my posture of submission smooth enough?
Is my willing attitude sincere enough?
Hahahahahaha!

[This step of scattering technique was already planned, though some readers might have guessed it long ago, alright, you’re sharp!]
