Nothing happened on the way back to the Sect. There were only a few small incidents at the Sect gate that Jian Chen encountered, and that was just two people being carried into the Sect in a state that was almost difficult to recognize.
When Jian Chen found out who they were, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. "I'm not strong right now and can't beat you guys, but I have more than enough to make you regret targeting me."
...
Back inside the Sect, Bai Shen said that he would give his reward tomorrow at the Mission Hall. Jian Chen was fine with that, and decided to return to his residence.
When he arrived at his house, it was almost dark. Taking advantage of the time available, Jian Chen decided to train again.
"The first style of Wind Footstep Technique I have mastered, next is the second style." Flipping open another sheet, Jian Chen once again studied it.
“According to the instructions in the book, the second style is inaudible, and the third is fast. Stepping very fast but not being heard…” Jian Chen held his chin and thought.
"How to?"
Jian Chen was a little confused, because there were no examples of moves and only descriptions in the book.
"Wind can move very fast, but it still makes sound. Meanwhile, there is only one thing that doesn't make sound but moves very fast, light. With my current strength, it is impossible to move as fast as light, especially with the gravitational force that cannot be overcome... Wait a moment! Gravity?"
Jian Chen recalled the gravity he learned on earth, but then he shook his head.
"No way, does that mean I have to use qi to remove the surrounding gravity?"
Gravitational force, it is the force of attraction between objects that have large masses in the universe. and because Jian Chen lived on a planet, then he was attracted by the gravity of the Longhun continent, if he wanted to get around it, it was absolutely impossible.
Because to eliminate the attraction effect, didn't that mean he had to remove the magnetic force from the Longhun Continent?
Thinking up to here, Jian Chen immediately had another headache.
Actually, it wasn't impossible to use aura to eliminate the influence of gravity around him, but the problem was, how much aura did he need?
"Is it really as Elder Ming saidimpossible to completely master this Technique before breaking through to the Ling Qi realm?”
"No, it's definitely not like that."
"If indeed only Ling Qi practitioners can learn it, what about me who can learn it at the first level of Qi training?"
"There must be another way. Nothing is impossible in this world, there must be something I missed."
Jian Chen once again tried to calm down, and slowly fell into thought. Some time thinking and not finding an answer, he decided to sit on his knees, and started meditating.
After meditating for a long time, he finally woke up with several new discoveries flashing between his eyes.
"The point is not gravity, but lightness, as light as the wind. Just like the first stage when I used aura to lighten my footsteps, in this second stage..." he hesitated again, "do I need to lighten all my body?"
Jian Chen thought for a long time, but finally he shook his head and muttered, “It's all a waste of wishful thinking, it's better if I practice it directly.”
Standing back up, Jian Chen released all his aura to coat his entire body and with the command of his brain, he moved his feet.
"Swish..."
As Jian Chen had predicted, it had indeed worked, but in just one breath, all the spiritual energy in his body had disappeared. The good news was, in one step, Jian Chen managed to step twenty meters and was out of his yard.
"It does work, but it's only one breath. To fully master it, it seems like I'll have to increase my cultivation." Jian Chen was slightly disappointed, and returned to his courtyard.
After thinking for a while, he chose to enter the house. taking out some spiritual stones he found earlier, he began to meditate to restore the lost aura.
After all his aura was filled again, Jian Chen no longer went out to train, but thought.
"I already understand the steps, so there's no rush to continue practicing which will only end up depleting my aura. What's most urgent now is to improve my cultivation."
"With a breakthrough, I can train harder, and it won't take long to master it. Moreover, tomorrow I can also get a weapon, and practice Sword Techniques. But then again, I need to be stronger."
"There's no other way, let's break through." stopping to think, Jian Chen took out a hundred spiritual stones, and began cultivating.
Elsewhere.
In a room, Bai Shen was standing behind a middle-aged woman, and respectfully said, "Master, disciple is back."
"Hmm... how?"
"As Master has directed, disciple does as instructed."
"Did he notice?" When she heard this, Bai Shen did not immediately reply, and only after a while did her nod.
"It turns out he was smarter than the students thought. It seems like he realized something." Upon hearing this, Master Bai Shen who was sitting in a chair enjoying tea got up, and turned around.
Upon turning around, everyone would be surprised by the mature and graceful beauty of this woman. Especially when her thin lips were now smiling at Bai Shen. "You don't need to think about that. Because the person chosen by the old man is definitely not just anyone."
"What do you mean, Master?" Bai Shen didn't understand the parents her teacher was referring to, and asked curiously.
Master Bai Shen did not immediately answer, but first walked towards the window, and looked out, where the direction her noticed was the Sect's library.
"You shouldn't need to know, but..." Master Bai Shen paused.
With a hint of reminiscence showing through her beautiful eyes, the woman seemed to remember the past before continuing, "You should know why only you and that young man were allowed to enter the library. Firstly, it is because you are my student, and secondly it is because the old man chose him."
Without needing to give a name, Bai Shen already guessed who the old man her teacher was talking about was.
"I don't know what the old man saw, so he paid so little attention to this young man who recently couldn't even practice. Only after hearing your explanation did Master also start to think that this young man was not as simple as he seemed. If you can, you'd better not be his opponent. It would be great if you could make friends or even become very close to him."
Hearing the last message from his Master, Bai Shen was a little embarrassed, and blushed. But her still nodded, and promised, "Disciple will try."
"It's getting late, you'd better start practicing soon." While saying that, the woman also handed a bottle to Bai Shen.
Bai Shen nodded, then respectfully took the bottle and left the room.
After Bai Shen exited the room, the woman's gaze fell towards Jian Chen's residence, and finally onto the night sky full of stars.
The night full of stars went away and morning came.
