C13 Steamed Bread Without Temperature

In the early morning after Xu Chen left the Sky Bearing Empire, Jiang Baiqiu, who had not appeared for three days, once again arrived at Xu Chen's residence.

This time around, he was here to bring Xu Chen to the Compendium Pavilion as the other three Heavenly Abode's divine stones had also been secretly delivered to the Sky Bearing Empire's Compendium Pavilion.

But this time around, Jiang Baiqiu discovered that the Xu Chen in front of him seemed to be much stronger and stronger than the Xu Chen from three days ago.

Although 'Xu Chen' often coughed, Jiang Baiqiu could tell that the 'Xu Chen' before him was much stronger than the 'Xu Chen' who was coughing out loud!

Even his demeanor and speech were very different from before.

Suspicion arose in Jiang Baiqiu's heart. He wanted to probe further, but Xu Chen's attitude was cold, as if he didn't want to bother with him. He could only leave it at the end.

There was a lake and a thatched cottage in an unknown mountain in the Northern Territories. It was rather inconspicuous in the midst of the endless snow.

After Xu Fusheng left, because the blizzard was too heavy, Xu Chen had no choice but to return to the thatched cottage to avoid the cold. After all, he was weaker than an ordinary person.

After returning to the thatched cottage, Xu Chen felt a little hungry. He opened his mouth out of habit, wanting to ask Gouyu to prepare some food, but he only opened his mouth, not saying anything.

"They're still at the Sky Bearing Empire." Xu Chen gave a self-deprecating smile. He didn't think too much about it.

This was not because he was heartless, but rather, it was the opposite. Xu Chen valued relationships very much.

If it was possible, Xu Chen definitely wouldn't allow others to die in his place. That was his own path, and no one could replace him.

But now, his father, his family, had chosen another path for him. He couldn't change this.

Because of this change, many people of the Xu Family would die!

In other words, he did not have the strength to change everything!

Thus, Xu Chen did not dare to think about this matter. However, he would accept the fact that this was the rule of this world.

The rules wouldn't change because of a certain person, unless that person was very powerful and stood at the top of the pyramid of survival. Only then would they have the ability to change the rules and draw up the rules!

After calming down a bit, Xu Chen found a few steamed buns in the corner of a pile of food. He picked up some snow outside and casually ate it.

Xu Chen looked out at the snow. He was thinking that if Xu Fusheng hadn't prepared food, he might have died from cold or starved to death.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Xu Chen's heart ached. He realized that if he were to leave the Xu family, even surviving would be a problem.

Before this, Xu Chen had always thought that he was stuck between life and death ever since he was young. His temperament had already transcended everything. Even if he couldn't cultivate, his status would still be respected.

However, he felt that his so-called status, his so-called respect towards others, was only on the surface. In reality, he was a weakling, a weakling with dignity.

In the Eastern Xuan Continent, every weak person seemed to be living a life and death battle everyday, just like the current him.

But was he really weak?

He was a person who had made the Xu Clan one of the top clans in the Northern Reaches, the fifth power.

He was even the person who would make the strongest power in the Northern Lands, the one who had set up the Sky Bearing Empire for more than ten years.

He was someone who could not cultivate, but had countless cultivators wanting to take him as their master.

Then is he considered strong?

In the face of a power like the Sky Bearing Empire, not only was he powerless, he had no way to shake the Sky Bearing Empire.

Who could tell the difference between the strong and the weak?

Xu Chen laughed self-deprecatingly as he continued to eat the steamed bun in his hands that no longer had any temperature. There were some things that could only be realized by experiencing it for himself.

After finishing his meal, Xu Chen sat on his bed. He did not have the time to waste right now. If he wanted to survive, he had to come up with a solution for his Dusk Incantation.

He took out a pen and a blank booklet from his storage ring. After thinking for a while, he started to write on the booklet.

Time passed by quickly, and during the period of time, the fire poison would occasionally break out. Thankfully, it wasn't serious, and Xu Chen didn't consume many medicinal pills.

This was because Xu Chen knew that his current situation was one where he did not have Xue Sheng to watch over him, nor did he have enough Dao Pattern Pills. He did not know how long it would take for those two bottles of ordinary pills to lose their effectiveness.

Xu Chen did not dare to easily waste these life-saving items. Whether it was time or pills, they were all extremely precious to the current Xu Chen!

After drawing and writing for half a day, Xu Chen had already written more than half of the small booklet that was filled with densely packed words.

Xu Chen's line of thought with regards to the Dusk Incantation was that he intended to first analyze the point that a martial artist did not have a Divine Vein but instead gained strength, which was different from what a Divine Vein cultivator could do.

It was a good thing that although there were only a few practitioners of the divine way of cultivation in the East Xuan Continent, the number of martial arts cultivators was probably more than the number of cultivators of the divine meridians.

After all, not everyone on this continent possessed Divine Veins. It was just that the cultivators who cultivated Divine Veins were the people who followed the laws of the Profound East Continent.

Cultivating to the highest level also meant that the Divine Veins cultivators were the most powerful. Therefore, in terms of status, the Divine Veins cultivators were superior to the other two types of cultivators.

Xu Chen had also taught many almighty cultivators before, so he was able to quickly come to a conclusion regarding the cultivation of martial arts.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Chen flipped through his notebook and was about to run out of energy, the earth suddenly shook.

It was as if there was a giant creature running outside. As the ground trembled, a loud rumbling sound could be heard. The sound was getting closer and closer to Xu Chen!

"It's a Pulse Beast!" The first thought that flashed through Xu Chen's mind, but he did not think too much about it. After putting away the booklet, he hastily ran out of the thatched cottage.

The moment he rushed out of the thatched cottage, a figure that was ten times bigger than Xu Chen rushed over, smashing the thatched cottage that Xu Chen was in into pieces!

Before Xu Chen could even react, he was knocked far away by the aftermath of the impact. His mouth was filled with snow, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Aooo!" It was unknown what kind of spirit beast it was, but it let out a sound that resonated through the snow. It sounded somewhat miserable!

However, at this moment, Xu Chen also reacted. He only saw that in front of him, a huge wolf appeared.

This wolf had smooth gray fur, and it looked very wild and unruly. Its body was at least a hundred times bigger than an average wolf; this was a Silver Grey Wolf!

It was a low grade vein beast!

After the gray silver wolf had destroyed the thatched cottage where Xu Chen was previously at, its entire body seemed to have hit a huge net. Its sleek fur revealed all sorts of small shapes.

"Today's luck is really good. To encounter a simple-minded gray wolf with well-developed limbs, it seems that we should make a good profit!" A bold female voice came from behind the Silver Grey Wolf.

"Sisters, get ready to pack up!"

Just as the heroic female voice finished speaking, four beautiful figures jumped out from the surroundings of the Silver Gray Wolf. Each of them held a corner of a large net in their hands.

He saw that after they had all put away the huge net, an active figure had appeared on top of the Silver Gray Wolf's head for an unknown period of time.

This was a woman wearing blue wide pants and red light clothing. The small clothes were short, just enough to reveal her slim waist and beautiful navel, making her look somewhat cute and adorable.

"Small bloodline beast, prepare to accept my punishment!" The girl wielded the long sword in her hand and stabbed the grey wolf viciously in the head.

The Ash Wolf let out a sorrowful howl. After struggling for a while in the net, it stopped moving.

"Sisters, get all the valuable things off this guy." The mischievous girl smiled with satisfaction.

However, she seemed to have noticed Xu Chen as well. She saw him standing in a sorry state in the snow, as well as the thatched cottage that had been smashed into a pile of rubble by the Silver Ash Wolf.

"Ah, oh, looks like he's in trouble." The mischievous girl tilted her head and blinked innocently at Xu Chen.
