School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 774: Chapter 851: Zhao Han’s Invitation

Chen Nan sat motionless and cultivated.

Around two o’clock in the morning, his spiritual realm continued to break through, finally stepping into the Fourth Layer Heaven of Taming Heaven.

Chen Nan felt somewhat excited.

He had only started cultivating the Heavenly Sound of ’Om’ last night, totaling about thirty hours by now. Although he had barely taken any breaks during this period, entering the Fourth Layer of Taming Heaven so quickly was already heaven-defying.

If he could continue at this pace, his spiritual power might soon break through to the Earth Penetration Realm, or even the Heavenly Realm.

The more Chen Nan thought about it, the more excited he became. He calmed his mind and continuously tempered his spiritual power with the Heavenly Sound, hoping to make further breakthroughs in a short time.

However, ideals are full-bodied, reality is bony.

In the following three hours, although Chen Nan’s spiritual power continued to grow, its speed had slowed down dozens of times compared to before, without the slightest sign of breaking into the Five-layered Taoist.

”It seems I thought too simply,” he said.

Chen Nan sighed and basically understood what was happening.

His rapid progress earlier was due to his inner strength cultivation already reaching the Fourth Layer of Taming Heaven; thus, his spiritual realm encountered no obstacles and broke through smoothly to the Fourth Layer of Taming Heaven.

Now that his spiritual power and inner strength cultivation were on par, the path ahead was fraught with obstacles. To advance further, he must be solid and steady, breaking through little by little.

Checking the time and seeing it was already five in the morning, Chen Nan continued cultivating his spiritual power while sitting cross-legged.

Although his spiritual realm could not break through now, as the Heavenly Sound echoed, his spiritual power still kept growing. Despite being in a lower realm, the spiritual power particle formed in his Sea of Consciousness was stronger than many typical cultivators at the Fourth Layer of Taming Heaven.

Moreover, as he continued to cultivate, this spiritual power particle kept growing.

The spiritual power tempered by the Heavenly Sound of ’Om’ was much purer than that refined by ordinary methods and contained very few impurities, so it could hold more spiritual power at the same realm level in the Sea of Consciousness.

...

The next morning.

Around half-past six, the door was pounded by Su Qingqing: ”Dummy, get up, it’s time for breakfast.”

Chen Nan jumped out of bed, ”Are you sure it’s to eat, not to make?”

”Who told you to make it? Xinya has already done it,” Su Qingqing clamored. ”You think everyone is as lazy as you, needing me to wake you up every day.”

Chen Nan said somewhat speechlessly, ”Still having me carry you walking around, who gave you the courage to call me lazy?”

”Stop nagging, or I’ll eat all your breakfast,” Su Qingqing threatened huffily.

Without a second word, Chen Nan quickly opened the door and ran out.

Then Su Qingqing laughed heartily, jesting about Chen Nan’s slow wits, having fallen into her trap; in fact, breakfast had just begun being prepared, and it wasn’t ready to eat yet.

Chen Nan was speechless for a moment; this mischievous girl was becoming more troublesome.

After breakfast, the three of them headed to school together, but near the entrance, Chen Nan saw someone on the roadside waving at him; turning his head, he saw it was his sworn brother, Zhao Han.

Huo Xinya glanced over at Zhao Han and asked, ”Do you know him?”

Chen Nan nodded and pointed toward the school gate, ”Yes, he’s my friend. You go ahead to school, I’ll talk to him.”

”Hurry up, if you’re late again, Teacher Lan is going to flip out,”

Su Qingqing said cheerfully, her schadenfreude clear, as if she was almost hoping Chen Nan would be late.

After watching the two beauties go inside, Chen Nan walked over to Zhao Han, ”Man, weren’t you supposed to not return to the Taixuan Taoist School? Why have you come back? Even if you missed brotherhood, was there any need to make it this intense?”

”Screw you.”

Zhao Han threw a punch on his shoulder and laughed, ”I have something important to discuss. Let’s go somewhere with no one around.”

Chen Nan nodded and walked ahead.

Reaching a secluded area, Zhao Han said, ”As soon as I got back to the Taixuan Taoist School, I received reliable information. In the southwest, within the Corpse-controlling Sect’s territory in Mihuan Forest, a treasure is about to emerge. The Sect Leader sent me out to try and seize this treasure.”

”Then why did you come down the mountain alone? Why not bring more people with you?” Chen Nan asked.

Zhao Han explained, ”Mihuan Forest is after all the Corpse-controlling Sect’s turf. If I brought a large group, it would definitely cause disputes between the sects. Besides, too many people can actually be cumbersome and less efficient than going alone.”

Chen Nan gave him a look and flipped him off, ”After all is said and done, you are just too arrogant, always liking to go it alone.”

”That’s not entirely true, haven’t I asked you to join me?” Zhao Han laughed heartily, ”Are you interested? Whoever grabs the treasure, it will belong to them.”

Chen Nan pointed forward, ”Then what are you prattling on about, let’s go.”

Zhao Han smiled and flipped him off in return.

On the way, Zhao Han said, ”By the way, how has your spiritual power cultivation been going?”

”I’ve reached the Fourth Level of Taoist.”

Chen Nan said truthfully. He would not lie to his brother, nor was there any need to.

”You damn show-off, could you die if you didn’t brag? Even I, a civilized person, can’t help but want to curse at you,” Zhao Han said disbelievingly. His spiritual power surged from his Sea of Consciousness, lunging towards Chen Nan’s forehead.

Chen Nan’s mind moved, and he activated his spiritual power defense.

The moment their spiritual powers were about to touch, Zhao Han’s face filled with shock, ”You... you freak, you’ve really reached the Fourth Level of Taoist!”

Chen Nan nodded, ”I told you so, but you didn’t believe me.”

”Damn it, that’s incredible, that’s absolutely incredible.” Zhao Han, who rarely swore, was so excited that he let out a few curses. He looked at Chen Nan, ”I can’t help but admire you, how did you do it?”

Chen Nan told him about the Heavenly Sound mantra.

After hearing this, Zhao Han’s face showed even greater shock. It took him a while to speak, ”Could it be, the legendary Six-character Great Brightness Mantra?”

”The Six-character Great Brightness Mantra?” Chen Nan asked in confusion.

Zhao Han nodded and said, ”According to legend, there is a set of six spells in Buddhism specially for cultivating spiritual power, created by a powerful Buddhist figure. They are considered the strongest formula for cultivating spiritual power between Heaven and Earth. Your Heavenly Sound is probably just one of those six characters.”

Hearing this, Chen Nan was deeply surprised.

If a single word was already this powerful, what kind of might would assembling the whole six-character Great Brightness Mantra manifest?

”What are the remaining five characters?” Chen Nan asked.

Zhao Han shook his head, ”No one knows exactly which six characters they are. After all, the Six-character Great Brightness Mantra has been lost for thousands of years.”

Chen Nan’s mind was unsettled.

If the Heavenly Sound was indeed one of the words from the Six-character Great Brightness Mantra, then how did that voice inside his body know this spell?

Moreover, if that voice was related to the Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique, wasn’t it said that good and evil are incompatible? Yet, how could this Heavenly Reversal Demon Technique be connected with the Buddhist Great Brightness Mantra?
