Chapter 671 - 649: Back Once Again, Great Wei

Chapter 671: Chapter 649: Back Once Again, Great Wei

Regarding Tiger Peak Manor’s protective nature, Elder Sizhi mentioned it at least three times in front of me.

The reputation of Tiger Peak Manor for protecting its own is quite widespread.

But what does it matter if they protect theirs? I protect my own.

Tiger Peak Manor helped Shen Ao and acted against my family.

They can act against me, but I can’t retaliate?

Shen Han was aware, yet he didn’t refute in front of Elder Sizhi.

Saying some harsh words only causes worry without any real benefit.

"When are we leaving to go back?"

"Should be in the next few days, might need to prepare a bit more."

Elder Sizhi nodded, contemplating something.

"Take some basic cultivation techniques back with you; old methods are difficult, the new cultivation system might be useful.

Your relatives lack the talent for old methods.

Let them practice calming techniques for their benefit.

Also, take this."

While speaking, Elder Sizhi handed over a scroll.

"I can’t confirm its authenticity; I’ve only heard that there’s advanced techniques for old cultivation here.

If you get a chance, you can try your luck."

Shen Han accepted the scroll, noticing its yellow, faded appearance, indicating its age.

It’s clear that effort was made to preserve this scroll.

Otherwise, the writing on it would have completely disappeared.

Everything that needed to be said had already been discussed, and before leaving Elder Sizhi asked Shen Han to notify him.

Back at his residence, Shen Han immediately closed the courtyard door.

Today, seeing that stone, there was a revelation in his heart.

Thoughts lead to the Dao, realizing there’s still a thought within.

Only through understanding can one approach the Dao.

In reflection, Shen Han was already immersed in the realm of consciousness.

This day’s insight needed to be carved into his heart, repeatedly contemplated.

Meanwhile, Shen Han gained more insight into the power of top experts.

The top experts of the Southern Heaven Continent, with just one thought, forced him to use all his strength to respond.

Perhaps the people of Tiger Peak Manor weren’t as formidable as the one who left that knife scar.

But if faced with an enemy, they wouldn’t use just one thought to attack him.

In the sea of knowledge, Shen Han was still immersed in the realm of consciousness.

Staining his determined intent piece by piece on his obsession.

As darkness fell and night descended.

Only then did Shen Han take out the sound transmission magical artifact and communicate with Madam Yun.

Upon receiving a response, Shen Han softly asked where they were, and Madam Yun calmly responded that they were at Yun Mansion.

The response was direct, without any hesitation, very calm.

"Child, it’s so late, you sound transmission just to ask where we are?

The sky is dark, if we’re not at home, where else would we be?"

After responding, Madam Yun softly reprimanded Shen Han twice.

"Cailing’Er and I are not practitioners, we won’t practice day and night like you folks."

This kind of counterargument was even more misleading.

Yet hearing this, Shen Han simply responded with silence.

After a while, seeing Shen Han still not replying, Madam Yun’s tone finally weakened a bit.

"Han, what’s wrong..."

"I know everything."

Just five simple words, the casual tone Madam Yun feigned earlier fell away at that moment.

Struggling to maintain composure, she still asked: "Han, what do you know?"

"Last night, I communicated with Dean Tianyi, and he told me everything he knew.

Was it Shen Ao leading Tiger Peak Manor’s people here?"

In his words, mentioning Shen Ao and Tiger Peak Manor.

It already indicated that Shen Han truly knew everything.

"Did the people from Yun Mansion and Xiaoyao Peak evacuate?"

Shen Han lowered his voice to ask.

On the other side, Madam Yun hesitated for a long time.

"Most have left, we are now hiding in a very secluded place."

Madam Yun’s answer allowed Shen Han to catch the key point immediately.

"Most have left, but are there some who are resting there forever..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yun also paused.

"That day, if it weren’t for Master Xingchuan’s desperate obstruction, we might not have escaped...

The villain Shen Ao brought, they say, had at least First Grade Immortal Realm strength.

Han, we are very well-hidden now.

Continue practicing outside without worrying about us.

Although we’ve left the mansion, life is still quite prosperous.

Cailing’Er even told me she prefers this secluded lifestyle.

Less noise, life is more comfortable."

After hearing Madam Yun say so much, Shen Han still remained silent, not responding.

"Han, rest assured while practicing outside.

If there’s real trouble, I’ll definitely transmit to you.

We wouldn’t deceive you, Cailing’Er and I, would we?"

Madam Yun’s voice always carried a bit of a humming echo.

Her location doesn’t feel like a mansion at all.

More like, a cave...

Upon hearing Madam Yun’s words, Shen Han immediately responded:

"Madam, whether you and Cailing will deceive me, that’s uncertain.

For instance, this time, Madam, you and Cailing’Er didn’t tell me the truth, both of you hid it from me, deceived me.

Including the words you say now, that you all are doing well.

In my heart, I still have doubts."

Shen Han’s words left Madam Yun and Cailing’Er speechless in an instant.

After they deceived Shen Han, how could he easily believe them again.

"I’ll find an opportunity to return in the next couple of days.

After I reach Great Wei, I’ll speak with you again, Madam."

The changes came unexpectedly fast.

Master Xingchuan’s strength in Great Wei is essentially at the pinnacle of existence.

Yet, facing the powerful figure Shen Ao brought back, he desperately resisted.

Shen Han upon hearing this, really wanted to ask about Master Xingchuan’s condition.

Hesitating, he held back.

Shen Han feared that after hearing this, he might not be able to contain his anger and would impulsively rush back.

However, before going back, he still had a lot to prepare.

First was selecting suitable Basic Cultivation Technique Manuals and taking some Washing Marrow medicines back.

Facing strong enemies, he needed to be calm.

Impulsiveness doesn’t solve any problems, especially when the powerful figure has already stepped into the First Grade Realm.

Two days of preparation, all necessary things had been prepared.

Before setting off, Shen Han visited Elder Sizhi.

Elder Sizhi handed over a handwritten book.

"On it are records of the strong figures from Tiger Peak Manor, I inquired from other elders and gathered some.

Remember to go through it when you have the time.

Avoid those who have stepped into Rainbow-Devouring Realm if possible.

If you can’t avoid them, you can only escape.

Shen Han, I think you will make significant achievements in the future.

Even practicing the Old Cultivation Method, you’ll achieve considerable success.

But Shen Han, truly don’t provoke people from Tiger Peak Manor.

Many geniuses face early demise, no matter how good their talents are, without life, what’s the use?"

Taking the handwritten book, Shen Han bid farewell to Elder Sizhi.

Before leaving, he also informed Song Xiaodie and her sister.

Confronted with Shen Han’s sudden departure, Song Xiaodie and Song Xiaobing were surprised.

However, Shen Han didn’t have time for idle talk.

Without much chatter, he prepared to leave.

Stepping onto the boat, Shen Han journeyed back.

The region here in Southern Heaven Continent is really too vast.

Racing all the way, reaching the entrance connecting to Great Wei would take around half a month.

Sitting atop the Boat-Traveling Magical Artifact, watching the scenery swiftly retreat around him.

Though he had been in the Southern Heaven Continent for several months, almost half a year.

Truth be told, Shen Han didn’t feel much of a connection to this continent.

Even in Five Immortals City, having attained the title of Direct Disciple.

In truth, he felt in his heart like he was merely a passerby.

Just like a foreigner working hard to earn a living.

Shen Han’s visit to Five Immortals City was simply to seek Cultivation Techniques as an outsider.

Everyone knew, sooner or later he would leave.

Southern Heaven Continent, the various aspects of Five Immortals City, had little to do with him.

Reflecting on the half-year spent in the Southern Heaven Continent, at least he gained something.

Firstly, the "Great Tao Fusion Technique" provided guidance for further cultivation.

Aside from that, in the Book Collection Pavilion of Thick Earth Tower, other valuable manuals, Shen Han really didn’t find many.

Upon browsing, most were just there for appearance.

They were very basic Cultivation Technique Manuals.

Secondly, his experiences in Five Immortals City gave him a profound understanding of the new Cultivation System.

The new Cultivation System wasn’t as magical as imagined.

Without talent potential, it’s still difficult to grow under the new Cultivation System.

Perhaps slightly superior to the Old Method, but surely once reaching Seventh or Sixth Grade, it’s hard to progress further.

Thinking of this, Shen Han contemplated more about the new Cultivation System.

Using the Nine Needle Skill, he could unlock the constraints of the new method.

The essence of the new Cultivation System is leveraging Heaven and Earth Creation to enhance oneself, invoking Heaven and Earth’s Momentum to harm enemies.

Shen Han often thought, the constraints within the new Cultivation System are essentially due to the absence of openings in the body.

For those practicing the Old Method, each unlocking of a constraint results in an additional wound.

Those practicing the Old Method face these constraints with fear and dread.

Unlocking constraints essentially means harming oneself.

Yet in the New Method, it represents top-tier talent.

Without further evidence, Shen Han couldn’t definitively say if it’s a strength or weakness.

However, Shen Han is certain he won’t completely abandon his cultivation to pursue the new system.

For half a month, Shen Han spent his time aboard the boat.

In front, he’s once again back to where the abnormal phenomenon occurred.

Looking at the abnormal phenomenon, from time to time, people fell out from it.

In nearly two years, cultivators from Great Wei should have witnessed the prowess of the Southern Heaven Continent’s cultivation method.

More and more people arriving here is quite normal.

Shen Han thought about it, like himself, coming without practicing the new system.

Should be the minority.

Without much hesitation, Shen Han stepped into it.

In a moment of dizziness, his body was already in a falling state.

He had returned once more, to Great Wei.
