Chapter 474 - 474 Shun Long's secret
The afterimages in the room all froze as Jiang Chen's figure had suddenly gone still.
With a cultivation at the same level as Shun Long, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to move within Shun Long's Monarch's Domain!
At that moment, even the 2 young women in the room were affected by it, as their reactions and their thought process slowed down dramatically.
Using blink, Shun Long instantly appeared in front of Jiang Chen, before he placed the illusionary purple blade in his right hand on the black-robed Jiang Chen's throat, before he stopped circulating his 'Monarch's Domain' and said in a calm tone with a smile on his face
''You lose.''
Jiang Chen's eyes instantly widened when he saw the illusionary purple blade appearing in front of him in an instant, before he immediately halted his movements, as he stared at the blue-robed young man in front of him with a mix of incredulity and disbelief in his gaze!
Seeing the calm smile on Shun Long's face he had immediately understood that he had lost, and yet he couldn't help ask in a low voice
''How?''
At the same time, although Liu Mei was calm and had a proud smile on her face as she stared at the fight in front of her, having obviously expected this result, Xie Xingyi had a look of shock as she stared at Shun Long's and Jiang Chen's figures.
Even with her experience and talent, she still couldn't understand what Shun Long had done to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y stop Jiang Chen's movements completely.
At the same time, it was obvious that Jiang Chen hadn't realized what was going on either as he looked at Shun Long in disbelief while he waited for his answer.
With that same smile on his face, Shun Long dispersed the spatial blade in his hand that was on the verge of dissipating by itself as he had nearly run out of energy from his body refinement cultivation already, before he walked back to the white cushion in front of his bed and sat back down on it.
After all, Jiang Chen had revealed everything about his life already, and he was only curious about the Dao that Shun Long had just used.
Finally, after staying silent for a few moments, the look in Shun Long's eyes turned serious as he first looked at Liu Mei for a moment, before he turned his attention towards Xie Xingyi and then back to Jiang Chen.
Shun Long stared at the black-robed young man in front of him, before he said
''This is my own secret as well, and aside from Mei'er, you and miss Xie are going to be the first ones to learn about this.''
As he looked at Jiang Chen in front of him, the bright golden light in Shun Long's eyes started to emit a blue hue deep inside it before he continued
''The Dao that I have comprehended for my Qi refinement foundation isn't the Dao of Lightning nor the Dao of Space... but the Dao of Time!''
A look of confusion appeared on Jiang Chen's and Xie Xingyi's faces when they heard this.
''The Dao of Time?''
Neither of these 2 geniuses had ever heard of someone comprehending the Dao of Time before nor did they know what kind of powers Shun Long had.
However, seeing the solemn look on Shun Long's face as he said this, Jiang Chen understood how serious he was.
It was obvious that his Dao of Time was one of his most important secrets, and yet he had still decided to share it with him in the end.
With a smile on his face, the black-robed Jiang Chen suddenly turned around and walked towards the door of the room.
Finally, just as he reached the door handle, he said calmly with his back still facing Shun Long and the 2 girls
''I am going to cultivate for a few days. After the fourth test, I can feel myself being just a step away from breaking through. After I finish my breakthrough, I will return here again. Don't go back on your promise in the future!''
Shun Long's lips curved up into a smile as he looked at Jiang Chen who didn't wait for a reply, as he opened the door of the room and left without any hesitation.
Despite the awkwardness in his tone as he spoke, Shun Long could still understand that Jiang Chen's words were sincere.
After fatty Fu, this was the second friend that Shun Long seemed to have made.
After staring at Jiang Chen's figure that disappeared from his courtyard, Shun Long then turned his attention to the green-robed young woman next to him.
The reason why he didn't mind exposing the secret of his Dao of Time to Xie Xingyi, was because Shun Long had already heard from Liu Mei about how the 2 young women had shared life and death with each other during the third test, and because Shun Long could also feel, that this beautiful young woman's gaze when she looked at him was completely different than the gaze she had when she stared at the rest of the outer disciples.
Shun Long had noticed that there was a warm expression in Xie Xingyi's eyes when she looked at him, while her gaze was filled with admiration and curiosity along with many other mixed feelings, making her gaze not too different from Liu Mei's when she stared at Shun Long.
Seeing how Shun Long was staring at her with a curious look in his eyes, Xie Xingyi blushed lightly before she hurriedly stood up and said
''I- I have to go cultivate as well!''
Without even bidding farewell to Liu Mei, the blond-haired kingdom toppling beauty whose face had already turned red then ran towards the door of the room.
However, right before she left the room her feet abruptly stopped, as she turned around and stared at the blue-robed young man sitting on the white cushion and the white-veiled young woman next to him before she said
''Brother Long... I will also join your faction! I will see you in a few days!''
Without waiting for a response Xie Xingyi's body instantly blended in the shadows, as she disappeared from Shun Long's courtyard.
