Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 371: Chapter 370 [Act Together]

Ye Tianchen had not expected that the only way Zhang Yide mentioned to save Dongfang Meng was to take her back to the Ancient Tomb Sect, find the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s cultivation skill, and then undergo dual cultivation with her, which might heal Dongfang Meng’s injuries. Otherwise, Dongfang Meng was beyond help.

Regarding the method Zhang Yide mentioned, Ye Tianchen had already guessed some of it. By now, Zhang Yide had used all the methods he could think of, but none could cure Dongfang Meng. Her fatal injury stemmed from using her Origin essence to unleash the ”Jade Maiden Flying Immortal,” an absolute skill, leaving only a trace left, which Zhang Yide preserved with his powerful superpower skill.

However, it couldn’t last long, the impediment to Dongfang Meng’s healing was the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture’s Inner Strength within her body. That Inner Strength consisted of the most quintessential power between heaven and earth, and after prolonged tempering, it had become incredibly mighty. Otherwise, Dongfang Meng would not have been able to battle Qingcheng Yue intensively without fully mastering the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, almost perishing alongside Qingcheng Yue.

Faced with the Inner Strength birthed from the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, a mental method no weaker than the Yijin Jing, Zhang Yide truly found himself at his wits’ end. Ye Tianchen also tried channeling superpower into Dongfang Meng’s body, but unfortunately, he failed. The only possible method seemed to indeed be mastering the complete Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, allowing Dongfang Meng’s Jade Maiden Heart Scripture to reach Great Success, gathering all the mighty Inner Strength dispersed within her flesh and merging it into one, which would also increase her Origin essence and thus naturally heal her injuries over time.

”Go to the Ancient Tomb Sect? And find a man to undergo dual cultivation with her? But who?” Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but be stunned and asked loudly.

”Who else but you do you think would be appropriate?” Zhang Yide said irritably.

”No way, I can’t do this, I absolutely refuse, I am a very upright person!” Ye Tianchen hastily shook his head, putting on a very serious and troubled expression even though he was facing Dongfang Meng, a woman as beautiful as a heavenly fairy that any man would desire.

However, in Zhang Yide’s eyes, Ye Tianchen was just pretending to be innocent, like a child pretending to be a virgin. Though Ye Tianchen was not a bad person and sometimes had a good heart, he definitely wasn’t the type who would refuse a beauty laid before him. His current expression probably stemmed from fear that agreeing might lead Zhang Yide to castrate him just thinking about his granddaughter, Zhang Ruotong.

”You think I want to ask you to go? The Ancient Tomb Sect is not a place easily entered; it is full of complications. Now that Dongfang Meng is unconscious, she can’t guide you. If you go, it’s a life-threatening risk. Moreover, what I want to tell you is that the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is not something just anyone can cultivate. Apart from needing astonishing talent and comprehension, one also needs strong existing capabilities. From what I assess, the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is extremely domineering and formidable. Ordinary people simply can’t cultivate it; they might just self-destruct while trying. But you, lad, possess unfathomable strength and focus on tempering your physical body, making it very strong. That is why you are suitable for cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture,” Zhang Yide said irritably while looking at Ye Tianchen.

”But... you see, I’m not the type who likes taking advantage of others. The final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture requires dual cultivation, completely naked, which is quite awkward!” Ye Tianchen said, somewhat troubled.

”Whether you go or not is up to you, and whether you can save her is also on you. If you don’t want to save her, then forget it!” Zhang Yide turned and prepared to leave the pharmacy. Of course, he hoped his granddaughter Zhang Ruotong could stay with Ye Tianchen, perhaps get married and have children, and certainly did not wish for Ye Tianchen to be involved with another woman. But now it was a desperate measure; saving a life surpasses all, and compared with saving a life, everything else is trivial. Thus, Zhang Yide wasn’t fixated on not telling Ye Tianchen about this method.

”Old man, the key issue is that the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture is a cultivation technique for women, and I want to practice the Shaolin’s Yijin Jing... I am a robust man, unrelated to the Jade Maiden!” Ye Tianchen said with a sly smile.

”I don’t have time to chat with you, kid. Here is the map to the Ancient Tomb Sect. Whether you can enter or not is up to you. Don’t expect any help from Dongfang Meng; I’ve already sealed several of her acupoints to ensure she won’t die within ten days. She will wake up on the tenth day, but if she doesn’t immediately cultivate the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture by then, she will die instantly. It’s up to you now!” Zhang Yide tossed a sheepskin map to Ye Tianchen and exited the pharmacy. Although he didn’t want Ye Tianchen to take Dongfang Meng back to the Ancient Tomb Sect and undergo male-female dual cultivation of the final layer of the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture with her, Zhang Yide understood Ye Tianchen was no ordinary person and his future achievements would likely surpass his own. Expecting him to only have Zhang Ruotong in his life was nearly impossible. Zhang Yide also owed a great debt to the Ancient Tomb Sect; without Dongfang Meng’s master, Zhang Yide would have died and wouldn’t have been able to raise Zhang Ruotong. Dongfang Meng was the only disciple and successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and if she died, the sect’s heritage would end. That would mean Zhang Yide truly could not repay the life-saving grace of Dongfang Meng’s master.

So, after contemplating, Zhang Yide still decided to tell Ye Tianchen about this matter. He did not want the Ancient Tomb Sect’s heritage to end, a matter of great importance. As for what to do and whether to undergo dual cultivation with Dongfang Meng, that was up to Ye Tianchen to decide.

Ye Tianchen looked at Zhang Yide, who had just left the pharmacy, and glanced at the sheepskin in his right hand. There was a map on it that clearly pointed to the Qinling Mountain Range in China. According to ancient Chinese records, the area around Qinling was home to the most sects, including the real Quanzhen Sect. As for the legends of the Ancient Tomb Sect, they seemed somewhat fabricated. What the truth was, Ye Tianchen would have to investigate himself.

Quanzhen Sect was located in Zhongnan Mountain, which was part of the Qinling Mountain Range. As for its specific location, few people knew because the Qinling Mountains had always been very mysterious. Throughout thousands of years in China, Kunlun Mountain, Qinling, Heaven Mountain, and Shenlong Ridge had all been incredibly mysterious places that even the national forces dared not probe casually. According to Zhang Yide’s guess, there must be some secrets, possibly even related to ancient Chinese history. There might even be secrets of ancient cultivators. These places harbored many strange occurrences and dangerous ancient martial formations, not something even top masters would dare to explore carelessly.

At that moment, Ye Tianchen put away the sheepskin map and looked at Dongfang Meng, who was sitting cross-legged. Dongfang Meng’s cheeks were slightly rosy, and at that moment, Ye Tianchen suddenly found this icy beauty to be very beautiful and kind. Despite her cold demeanor, she had a gentle heart. She hoped to reduce the slaughter and bloodshed in the martial world, so Ye Tianchen had a good impression of Dongfang Meng. However, the thought of having to exchange the Dual Cultivation Jade Maiden Heart Scripture with this woman made him quite embarrassed, especially since they did not know each other. He hoped that Dongfang Meng wouldn’t end up chasing him to exact vengeance, which would really be troublesome.

While fleeing with Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen mischievously got his hands on Qingcheng Yue’s pink intimate camisole, which made her face turn bright red. She swore to tear Ye Tianchen into pieces. If he really ended up performing the Dual Cultivation with Dongfang Meng, he feared another peerless beauty might chase after him, a prospect Ye Tianchen would hardly be able to endure.

”All right, entrusted by others, loyal to others, I will only take you to the Ancient Tomb Sect. As for the Jade Maiden Heart Scripture, you can handle that yourself. I won’t accompany you further. I’ve done my best, and your life or death is none of my concern!” Ye Tianchen said indifferently to Dongfang Meng.

Ye Tianchen walked out of the pharmacy and entered the courtyard. Zhang Yide was nowhere to be seen. He took out his phone and dialed a number. It was already ten o’clock in the evening. After the phone rang seven or eight times, a voice from the other end came through, sounding as vigorous as ever at this hour. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel respect for the military’s constant alertness and vitality.

”Hello, Bro, it’s me, Ye Tianchen. Prepare a helicopter for me. Wait for me in the open area in the East Suburb. I’ll be there soon!” Ye Tianchen said through the phone.

”Ye Tianchen, are you looking for trouble again? Though you are helping the country, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want, right?” The person on the other end was quite annoyed.

”Brother Cang Lang, Big Brother Cang Lang, I really have a situation here, and it involves a mission asked by the highest commander and Elder Yang!” Ye Tianchen hurriedly explained.

It turned out that Ye Tianchen was calling Cang Lang to ask him to prepare a helicopter, which made Cang Lang really want to give Ye Tianchen a thorough beating. The guy was too unreliable, always requesting a plane as if the military region was his own personal property.

”Stop trying to fool me with the commanders and Elder Yang. How did your task of monitoring the four beauties of the Ancient Martial Sects go?” Cang Lang asked, not very pleased.

”Are you waiting for me to report? Those four beauties had their match long ago, and Dongfang Meng was severely injured, hanging by a thread. I’m rushing to save her now!” Ye Tianchen also shouted.

”Severely injured? Then you should hurry up and take her to Kyoto Hospital!” Cang Lang said earnestly.

Ye Tianchen was almost at a loss for words with Cang Lang, and after a pause, he shouted:

”I’m seeking help from the Divine Doctor Ghost Hand, and even he is helpless. Do you think a common quack can do better? She’s about to die, so decide whether you’re preparing the helicopter or not. I can’t be bothered with more nonsense. If you won’t deal with this, I will stop!” (To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.
