Chapter 2724 Sentient Shoehorns

chapter 2724 sentient shoehorns

long chen shook his head. “it might be hard to hear, but i’m not going to skirt around it. i’m unable to understand why your senior experts all look like... shoehorns that gained sentience. they all look like they have a permanent scowl on their donkey faces. if they weren’t with you, i really would have trouble believing they also came from the illusive music immortal palace.”

“what do you mean, sentient shoehorns? they... that really is rude.” zi yan glared at long chen. “although they look fierce, that’s because they’ve fought against invaders several times. they’ve killed so many of them that they accumulated darker auras. if they used the music dao to suppress those auras, it would suppress their realms as well. that’s why they chose to seal themselves.”

“is that really true?” asked long chen.

“how could it not be? would i trick you?” zi yan was starting to grow angry.

“well, i really dislike them. even if it is to protect the martial heaven continent, i don’t like it. i’m not going back to the illusive music immortal palace. my temper’s not good, and i don’t want to embarrass you,” said long chen.

long chen had gotten enough of the illusive music immortal palace with this one visit. if it weren’t for zi yan, he wouldn’t have visited them at all.

“i know. i don’t like them either. when they speak, they always seem peculiar. it’s not comfortable. but they’re my elders, so i’m not in a good spot to contradict them. once the dark era is over, i will leave the illusive music immortal palace,” said zi yan.

“why? where will you go?” asked long chen.

zi yan blushed and glared at him. “why? do you think the world isn’t big enough for me to find a home?”

long chen almost slapped himself. he really had been stupid lately. zi yan was clearly saying that she would join him, and he just had to ask such a question.

“alright, let’s not talk about that,” said zi yan. “you said you need to prepare. prepare what?”

“you’ve reached the fifth heavenstage so quickly?” long chen suddenly noticed that zi yan’s aura was strangely heavy.

this was also why long chen felt that it was not good for zi yan’s aura to already show some bad signs at the fifth heavenstage. if this continued, her cultivation base would solidify around the ninth heavenstage. if that happened, it would not be worth it.

zi yan smiled. “the music master and the others also told me this. but have you forgotten about the southern sea zither? as long as i become its master, this problem will be gone instantly. don’t worry about me. but as for you...”

long chen’s cultivation base was still at the first heavenstage because he had been refining pills this entire time. when he had tried to cultivate, he was startled to find that his body was no longer able to absorb heavenly dao energy.

that was because as soon as the heavenly dao energy entered his body, it was erased by the power of his 108,000 astral spaces.

he had then tried to consume some demonic heaven merging pills and was comforted to find that its effect was truly amazing. he could cultivate through pills. that was why long chen hadn’t wasted any time while refining pills.

“that’s why i need a few days. protect me while i increase my realm,” said long chen.

“right here? why not in the illusive music immortal palace?” asked zi yan.

“those old fellows are really dislikeable. if i went into seclusion there, it might give me a heart-devil,” joked long chen.

“bah, don’t talk nonsense,” said zi yan. he was practically jinxing himself by saying that.

long chen laughed and then set up a few formations prepared by xia chen. this would prevent anyone from peeping.

with zi yan to protect him, long chen took out a demonic heaven merging pill. he was about to stuff it into his mouth when evilmoon suddenly spoke.

“long chen, think carefully about this. these pills are very evil. whether it’s a blessing or calamity, no one can say.”
