chapter 1622 i’ll play

once he was past the inner gates, what was reflected in his eyes was a mountain stream and a waterfall cascading down like a heavenly ribbon from the sky. all the colors of the rainbows sparkled within it as the sunlight fell on it.

the spray of water reflected the green surroundings. there was a stone path winding through this beautiful scenery. this was a world beyond the clamor of the mundane world.

the beauty of this scenery couldn’t compare to the spirit world, but it was still amazing and refreshing. long chen’s anger started to naturally fade upon seeing this sight.

just by soaking in the scenery, he felt his heart open and his mind grow clearer. this was a mystical energy, and it was no wonder the skywood divine palace’s disciples looked to be so relaxed without any anger.

living in such a place for a long time would naturally influence them. the calm of the mountain, the life of no greed, they naturally made them feel at peace.

“it really is a good place,” praised long chen.

the disciple leading him sighed with relief upon seeing long chen’s irritated expression fade away. she smiled and said, “follow the stone path forward. not only can you enjoy the scenery, but there are also all kinds of wild fruit you can taste. feel free to pick them as you please, as long as you don’t damage the tree. you’ll also see other young cultivators just like you, and you can share your cultivation experiences and understanding. that way, everyone can get stronger together. however, do your best to control your temper. the skywood divine palace doesn’t like fighting and killing.”nôv(el)b\\jnn

“yes, i just won’t talk with them. where is chu yao?” asked long chen.

“fairy chu yao has long since been waiting for you. however, it’s not convenient to open a back door for you, so you must follow through with the regular process.”

“alright, i understand. thank you. i’ll just stroll around.” long chen cupped his fists in thanks.

once the disciple left, long chen continued on the stone path. an ancient mountain appeared before him on the winding path next. with each turn of the path, he saw a different scene.

this was a sea of greenery. ancient trees and winding vines grew everywhere. the grass was like a carpet. the air was refreshing and made him feel like his troubles were being washed away.

this was a feeling long chen had only ever felt in the spirit world. the spirit race loved life. they were so kind that it was almost a bit foolish.

the skywood divine palace possessed a similarly relaxing air. even if a person was infuriated, they would feel embarrassed to release it in front of the skywood divine palace’s disciples.

as long chen continued forward, he quickly saw quite a few people. they were in small groups, privately whispering or loudly discussing the dao. some people were even singing or reciting poetry.

in truth, the reason these people were here was because too many people had come to attend the jade lake pageant this time. they hadn’t expected such numbers, so they had people wait here to stall for time.

such a thing was truly the epitome. those experts had been able to summarize the countless daos into just a few lines. however, those scriptures were also too profound for people to understand.

the inheritance and understanding of those scriptures had long since been severed. it was like the difference between an adult scholar and a child. there was no way for a child to understand a scholar’s essay on the dao. all a child could do was recite what the scholar had said.

due to the battle of the immortal era and successive dark eras, the martial heaven continent’s cultivation culture had been fractured, resulting in many texts being lost. any texts that managed to be preserved were damaged and incomplete. there was no way to fully understand them.

during this era, a few people had added annotations to those texts based on their own viewpoints and comprehensions. however, long chen had read so many of those that he found that most of them were nonsense. they seemed right but were wrong. some had even completely twisted the original meaning of the ancient text.

at first, long chen had thought that wang shan was expounding the dao and sharing his own comprehension with others, so that they could all corroborate their daos. only later did long chen realize that wang shan was reciting what he had read in some ancient scripture. listening to this kind of thing was a pure waste of time.

“brother, please wait a moment.”

long chen had just taken two steps away when wang shan suddenly stopped talking of the dao and called out to long chen.

long chen paused. everyone was startled, and they turned to look at long chen. long chen looked around himself and saw that there was no one else near him. wang shan was clearly talking to him.

“do you need something?” long chen frowned.

“i was simply wondering if you were doubting my comprehension of the dao?” wang shan looked at long chen politely. however, his tone possessed an arrogant tune.

in truth, wang shan had been looking around as he had been expounding on the dao. he saw everyone else run over as if they were afraid of missing a single word.

however, long chen was the opposite, wanting to leave as soon as he said a few words. that had irritated him.

“no, i have no doubts.” long chen shook his head. he couldn’t be bothered to participate in such a classless discussion of the dao.

“wait a moment. just now, you were shaking your head and muttering something disdainfully while i was speaking. you should have some issues with my understanding of the dao. please, tell me. what is your name? where do you come from? if you dislike my dao, can you share your own?” asked wang shan.

long chen’s fury immediately soared. when had he shaken his head? furthermore, with his face covered, how was wang shan supposed to have seen a disdainful expression? he was clearly intentionally trying to find trouble with him. was he really so dislikable that everyone he met would immediately try to find trouble for him?

however, just at that moment, long chen saw a certain fellow standing by wang shan’s side. long chen immediately understood because that fellow was one of the idiots who had been forced to eat stones just before.

alright then, they wanted to play. long chen’s lips curled into a sinister smile. today, he would properly play with them.
