Jhi Chen fell silent upon hearing his mother's explanation. His innocent yet intelligent gaze was fixed on Mu Xiao’er's face.

"Mother, will you only develop your talent as a physician? Why don't you ask father for a cultivation technique, so that mother can also become a cultivator?" he asked, his tone full of curiosity.

Mu Xiao’er closed the book in her hand for a moment, then looked at her child gently. "Chen’er, everyone has their own path. Like your cultivation path, it's different from others. The strongest person in our place is Lord Long Shan, the ancestor of the ruler of this dynasty. He is already four thousand years old, but his cultivation is still below you who are only three years old. Can everyone be like you? You must understand what mother means."

Hearing that, Jhi Chen's face turned red. He looked down, then said softly, "Mother, this child knows his mistake."

"You are not wrong," Mu Xiao’er replied, her smile faint but full of determination. "Mother is also learn

    Jhi Chen returned to his residence, completely ignoring the gazes filled with mixed feelings. The gazes came from all directions. There was fear that had not fully disappeared, shock that had not yet been digested, and hatred that was held back tightly. Yet for Jhi Chen, all of it was no more than small ripples. None was significant enough to slow his steps. Silence enveloped the path he took. Disciples who were usually noisy now chose to be silent, making way without daring to stare too long. No shouts, no open whispers. Everyone seemed to agree that distance was the safest choice today. After Jhi Chen left, Shen Wang narrowed his eyes toward a very distant direction. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through everything. Behind the layer of void that was unreachable by ordinary perception, Shen Wang saw a change in the flow of intent. An angry consciousness began to stir, no longer hidden. The killing intent was thick, not trying to be disguised, as if deliberately left fo

    Everyone stared wide-eyed. Not only because the battle happened so quickly, but because of the change that appeared right before their eyes. Many disciples had not even had time to understand what had just happened. At this moment, Jhi Chen’s cultivation was already equal to that of the Law Enforcement Hall man. Jhi Chen was now at the two-and-a-half divine rank. A faint vibration spread throughout Baicun Valley. The Elders hiding in various corners immediately opened their perception, making sure that what they felt was not a mistake. With the same cultivation, how could the man possibly be Jhi Chen’s opponent. The question arose simultaneously in many people’s minds. The realm difference had indeed disappeared, but the pressure emitted by Jhi Chen still far exceeded what someone at the same level should have. “How is it possible for a Supreme Emperor of the Highest God to increase his realm until he breaks through to half-divine?” The voice sounded hoarse. Not because of

    Jhi Chen snorted coldly. His gaze narrowed further. The faint smile that had previously adorned his face had completely disappeared, as if it had never existed, replaced by a cold, emotionless expression. The aura around him changed slowly, not exploding, but pressing down. “You are from the Law Enforcement Hall. You should understand the rules. Have you forgotten where this is? This is Baicun Valley, not another hall. Here, anyone who comes to kill may be killed in return. Do not say you forgot that rule. If you do not have the strength, do not look for trouble here. If not, your own life will be the one to fall.” The words fell one by one, calm, flat, yet oppressive. For a moment, the atmosphere in Baicun Valley became silent. Not only the Law Enforcement Hall members were shocked. The disciples around, even some Baicun Valley Elders, opened their eyes wide. No one had expected Jhi Chen to speak like that, let alone to people from the Law Enforcement Hall. This was not p

    Jhi Chen walked directly into the Mission Hall. From start to finish, there was no change in his facial expression. His steps were calm, his rhythm steady, as if nothing that had happened outside the hall meant anything to him. Killing Xing Yun was not an achievement. It was not even worthy of being called an important event. Jhi Chen did not think about it at all. As soon as his figure crossed the hall’s threshold, the atmosphere that had been filled with whispers slowly faded. Some disciples inside the hall unconsciously held their breath, while their gazes followed Jhi Chen’s steps to the mission counter. The Mission Guard Elder who had been sitting immediately stood up. His gaze moved quickly, as if assessing Jhi Chen’s condition from head to toe. “You returned earlier. Did you manage to complete the mission?” Without further ado, Jhi Chen raised his hand. Ten severed bandit heads appeared one by one and fell to the hall floor with a heavy sound. The remaining aura of battle

    Jhi Chen was still hiding his realm. No one realized his actual cultivation level. For the disciples surrounding the Mission Hall courtyard, Jhi Chen’s figure still looked the same as before. No excessive aura, no deliberate pressure released. Yet it was that calmness that made the atmosphere feel heavier. “It is not that I am strong. It is that you are too weak. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind. If in three counts you are still here, I will not hesitate to make you more miserable than your brother, Xing Xuan.” The words fell calmly, without exaggerated threats. Yet everyone who heard them felt something different. “One.” Jhi Chen began to count. Some disciples unconsciously held their breath. They knew the count was not a bluff. “How dare you treat me like this? Do you not know I am a closed disciple of the Great Elder of the Weapon Hall?” Xing Yun’s voice rose, yet the tension on his face could not be hidden. His body was already slightly tensed, as if preparin

    Shen Wang was truly shocked. His expression, which had been calm all this time, finally showed a real change. He had thought Jhi Chen would only realize the secret of Baicun Valley after living there for thousands of years, after going through many cycles of observation and failure. Yet in reality, in just one month, Jhi Chen had found the core that even many elite disciples did not realize. “If that is the case, I give you full permission. Jhi Chen, take this. This object can save your life once when facing danger you cannot handle.” Shen Wang stretched out his hand. A golden token appeared in his palm. The aura surrounding it was very distinctive, calm but absolute. It was Shen Wang’s own aura, not a copy, not a substitute. “Patriarch, this gift?” Jhi Chen did not take it immediately. He realized the value of the object far exceeded an ordinary reward. “You deserve it. But remember, outside, pretend you do not know me. Do not let those old monsters target you. As for the Holy
