Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1134: Chapter 1133: Misunderstanding

”Why not take this opportunity to make a breakthrough to the eighth realm?”

Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp intent, taking this chance to make a breakthrough and reach a higher level.

The True Qi in the Dantian surged violently, forming waves, launching an assault on the bottleneck of the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm.

The pure energy contained within the Fire Poison, as Ling Chen executed his technique, was fully absorbed into the rapidly circulating True Qi, filling his meridians and Dantian.

The Spirit Sea of True Qi in the Dantian expanded once more, reaching an incredibly vast scale.

The Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm was finally achieved effortlessly.

Ling Chen introspected the state of True Qi within his Dantian. Having advanced to the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm, he was now close to fully completing the Spirit Sea within his Dantian.

Once his cultivation reached the Ninth Level of the Sky Apex Realm, this True Qi Spirit Sea would be fully complete.

The next step would be the Spiritual Sea Transformation, like a cocoon transforming into a butterfly, and then it would be time to aim for the level of the Saint Path.

After calming his inner True Qi, Ling Chen exhaled a long breath, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the Fire Poison this time, he feared it wouldn’t have been so easy to reach the level of the Eighth Layer of Sky Apex Realm so smoothly.

”Cough, cough...”

Just as Ling Chen broke through to the Eighth Layer of the Sky Apex Realm, Shen Bingxin in front of him also opened her eyes and awakened.

”Master, you’re awake.”

Ling Chen quickly supported Shen Bingxin up. It was fortunate he transferred the Fire Poison onto himself, otherwise, it might have been difficult to awaken her.

”You did it.”

Shen Bingxin could sense that the deeply rooted Fire Poison within her had completely vanished without a trace, a look of surprise quickly appeared in her beautiful eyes.

This issue had troubled her for decades, and today, it was finally resolved completely.

Unable to suppress the joy in her heart, Shen Bingxin couldn’t help but cheer, her ecstatic scream surprised Ling Chen, never expecting that the usually icy Shen Bingxin would become like this when excited.

Her gaze towards Ling Chen also had a different meaning, making Ling Chen feel somewhat uneasy.

At that moment, footsteps could be heard from outside the Ice Cave. Ling Chen quickly looked over, only to see Saint Purple Heart and the others walking in. Their faces were all filled with a hint of joy, yet upon witnessing the scene before them, they were frozen in place, not moving at all.

At this time, Shen Bingxin’s clothes were in disarray, the clothes on her back and her abdomen were burned off in large patches, exposing a large area of white skin to the open space, and her gaze towards Ling Chen seemed quite ambiguous, sparking imaginations.

Seemingly aware of the unsavory situation, Ling Chen quickly took off his robe and wrapped it around Shen Bingxin.

His intention was to ease the ambiguous atmosphere, but instead, it made the misunderstanding deeper.

Including Saint Purple Heart, the four people were looking at Shen Bingxin with incredulous eyes, never imagining that their cold and aloof junior sister would develop feelings for her disciple?

”Junior sister... perhaps there’s a misunderstanding...”

Shen Bingxin was no fool. Having lived for so many years, she was more astute than anyone, naturally knowing what Saint Purple Heart and the others were thinking.

”Sister Shen, you don’t have to say more.”

Saint Purple Heart and the Great Elder exchanged glances, then looked at Shen Bingxin with solemn seriousness and said, ”Although a master-disciple romance might not sound good, since it’s someone you like, we will not oppose it, even though this person is your disciple.”

”Yes, in the history of Lingyue Island, there have been master-disciple romances before that went through many trials but ended up together.”

”Sister Shen has been alone for so many years, it’s indeed time to find a partner, otherwise practicing alone can indeed be too lonely.”

”No wonder Sister Shen chose Ling Chen as a direct disciple, turns out there was this aspect to it.”

The three elders started discussing, as if all explanations instantly made sense.

Listening to these words, Ling Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly, the misunderstanding had deepened, although it saved him from being drenched and punished, now the misunderstanding was deeper, and these few people seemed convinced there was something between him and Shen Bingxin.

”Enough of this.”

Shen Bingxin’s face turned from blue to white, truly appearing angry, ”The clothes were accidentally torn during the poison treatment, it’s not what you think, and you know, the cultivation technique I practice does not allow for romantic entanglements. Besides, even if I were to find a partner, it wouldn’t be my disciple.”

Hearing this, Ling Chen let out a sigh of relief, if any rumors really spread about him and Shen Bingxin as a master-disciple, it would probably spread throughout Lingyue Island in an instant.

There’s no news that spreads faster than gossip.

He, having thick skin, wasn’t too concerned, but Shen Bingxin’s image would undoubtedly be greatly damaged.

Besides, there was nothing between them in the first place, if there really was, it would be easier to explain, but as it isn’t true, it becomes mere rumor-mongering.

”There’s really no such thing?”

Saint Purple Heart still asked incredulously.

”Hmm.”

Shen Bingxin nodded coldly.

”Alright. It seems we’ve indeed misunderstood.”

Only then did Saint Purple Heart believe Shen Bingxin, also letting out a sigh of relief. If such a thing really happened, it would indeed damage Lingyue Island’s reputation, but as it hasn’t happened, all the better.

The Great Elder and others all revealed relieved smiles, Shen Bingxin was indeed still Shen Bingxin, they had thought too much.

”That Fire Poison, has it really been completely neutralized?”

At this moment, Saint Purple Heart asked about the Fire Poison with a serious expression, still somewhat incredulous that the Fire Poison, which even they were powerless against, was dissolved by Ling Chen.

”The Fire Poison within Master has been completely eradicated. I used some methods to transfer the Fire Poison to my own body.”

Ling Chen clasped his hands together.

”Transferred to your body?”

Saint Purple Heart was stunned, exchanging glances with the Great Elder and others, ”Isn’t that dangerous for you?”

”Please rest assured Island Master and Elders, the Fire Poison has been thoroughly suppressed by me and poses no more threat. It will take some time, but I can completely remove it.”

Ling Chen said with a relaxed face.

”You must be careful then.”

Saint Purple Heart’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, not astonished by Ling Chen’s methods, but somewhat admiring them. The Fire Poison was such a fearsome thing, yet Ling Chen dared to transfer it to his own body, and that courage alone was truly admirable.
