Bonding, Just a Little While

January flew by.

During this month, Chen Ning also completed the integration with the Divine Meridians. Through unremitting efforts, he stored the Divine Power he had cultivated during this month within the Divine Meridians.

Furthermore, although he possesses the Grand One Divine Vein, his Divine Mark are still Darkness Divine Mark, so there is no conflict.

The path of cultivation.

Different paths lead to the same destination.

At the same time.

His Late-Stage Saint realm was completely stabilized.

Over the past month, Chen Ning has frequently returned to the waterfall to cultivate his perception.

Enhance the mobilization of one's own strength.

At this moment, Chen Ning was much stronger than he had been a month ago.

Not long after.

Chen Ning summoned all his men and gave them instructions one by one.

As for those few people So Close Yet Worlds Apart, they can go their separate ways, but I don't know when I'll be out of here again.

Hua Luo and the little monk will remain temporarily with the Grand One God Clan.

There are many highly skilled individuals in the Grand One God Clan, many of whom can discuss Zen and Daoism with young monks.

As for Hua Luo, Chen Ning wanted to take her under his wing, but unfortunately, her qualifications for entering Heaven of Profound Understanding were limited.

And.

It was extremely dangerous, and Chen Ning didn't want her to be involved.

In this way.

After settling those around him, Chen Ning silently waited for the Heaven of Profound Understanding to open.

This day.

Luo Qingcheng, Luo Wuxia, and Luo Wuming arrived together.

Although Luo Wuming was still displeased with Chen Ning, he was not yet a match for him, so he gave a token bow and left the palace, disappearing without a trace.

Luo Wuxia explained, "Brother Chen, the clan leader sent us. We'll be heading to Heaven of Profound Understanding soon, and he wanted us to strengthen our friendship."

"Wouldn't it be a little awkward to just say it directly...?"

Chen Ning shook his head and smiled.

Luo Qingcheng felt the same way, her expression quite helpless.

Luo Wuxia seemed to be used to being straightforward and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

And so.

After the three people sat down, they began to look at each other in bewilderment.

Occasionally, he and Luo Wuxia would engage in mutual flattery.

Finally.

Chen Ning couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere anymore.

So he blurted out, "How about we play something?"

"Brother Chen, would you like to play pitch-pot? Or archery?"

Luo Wuxia was taken aback.

Logically speaking, cultivators like them should have given up on many recreational games. Whether it's pitch-pot or archery, with their skill level, playing these games would inevitably turn into a contest!

Moreover, it's equivalent to hitting the bullseye every time.

Chen Ning shook his head and said, "Of course not, let's play something more interesting!"

Then.

Chen Ning made some preparations.

He randomly took some materials from his spatial bag and carved out fifty-four playing cards.

Luo Wuxia and Luo Qingcheng stared at each other as Chen Ning busied himself with his tasks.

Finally.

Chen Ning slammed fifty-four cards onto the table.

"Alright! The game we're going to play is called... Fight the Clan Chief! The rules are simple: at the start of each round, the clan chief is called first. The clan chief draws three extra cards and has the first turn to play. It's two against one... whoever runs out of cards first wins!"

Chen Ning finished explaining the rules with great enthusiasm.

Both are of divine birth and divine beauty, exceptionally intelligent, so they are not difficult to understand.

Only.

The game's name, however, took them by surprise.

"Brother Chen, the clan leader is of noble status and must not be offended!"

Luo Wuxia hesitated.

"Don't be so rigid. Anyway, the clan leader sent you here to build rapport with me. If you don't play along, then the rapport will fail, and if we don't work together in Heaven of Profound Understanding, it will cause big problems. Think about it!"

Luo Wuxia frowned and pondered for a long time before finally making a decision, "Brother Chen, let's just play for a little while. Please don't let anyone know what happened today!"

Don't worry!

It's just beginning.

Since it was their first time experiencing such a novel game, the two were a little bewildered.

But after playing a few rounds in a row, he couldn't stop.

Luo Wuxia abandoned her usual aloof and composed demeanor, stood up abruptly, and slammed her cards down, yelling, "Four twos! You guys don't have any, do you?"

"No!"

"Chief!"

Seeing this, Luo Wuxia threw down the last two cards in her hand, exclaimed "Two threes," and then sat down contentedly.

Luo Qingcheng frowned and said, "Seriously? You're going to yell at me for two Zhang Sans?"

"Excuse me."

Luo Wuxia smiled faintly.

Time flies.

They only said they'd play for a little while, but they ended up playing for several hours straight.

As night falls.

Luo Wuxia and Luo Qingcheng were even somewhat reluctant to leave this novel clan leader battle game.

This brought the three of them closer together.

"Brother Wuxia, you've been to Heaven of Profound Understanding once. What's it like there?"

While the three of them rested.

Chen Ning couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this...

Luo Qingcheng also turned her gaze towards them. She, too, didn't know much about Heaven of Profound Understanding. In fact, she and the Divine Child Luo Wuxia only knew of each other, but weren't close.

So.

She was also very curious.

Upon hearing Chen Ning's question, Luo Wuxia replied solemnly, "Regarding Heaven of Profound Understanding, Wuxia only managed to obtain a spot by chance back then, and entered Heaven of Profound Understanding with my cousin Wuming. There..."

"That's a real world!"

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Luo Wuxia's eyes.

"Like a small world, it's an independently operating world with dynasties, powers, and strange beasts. Of course, what it has most of are countless ruins!"

"Because... that place was once a battlefield High Antiquity Gods and Devils!"

Luo Wuxia recalled the scene and sighed, "Back then, by Wuxia fortuitous opportunity, I fell into a deep pool and came into contact with a Chaos Azure Qi. That azure aura was extremely violent. If I had Wuxia possessed the Heart of the Bright Mirror, I probably would have been torn to shreds by that Chaos Azure Qi!"

Looking back now, I still feel a bit lucky.

"I see."

Chen Ning nodded, then asked, "In the world of Heaven of Profound Understanding, are there conflicts between the various God Clan?"

This is a very important question.

Luo Wuxia pondered, "Our Grand One God Clan has always maintained neutrality and never easily makes enemies. Therefore, we will not be easily attacked by other God Clan unless it involves some mysterious inheritance or great fortuitous opportunity!"

"I see. Even without a great fortuitous opportunity this time, we might still be targeted by the Darkness God Clan. Don't worry, I will protect you with all my might."

Chen Ning said earnestly.

The Grand One God Clan saved themselves, Darkness God Clan could not help but harbor resentment. This trip to Heaven of Profound Understanding was also a perfect opportunity for them to vent their anger.

Chen Ning felt that since the matter originated from him...

Therefore, he is willing to bear the consequences.

After all, he was currently the strongest among the three.

"Brother Chen, although Wuxia was defeated by you, it's not difficult for her to protect herself. Besides, you don't need to feel any burden. Since Emperor Yu accepted you, you are now one of my people. Furthermore, you possess the Divine Meridians that only a successor can have. We are no longer separated!"

He looked into Luo Wuxia's burning gaze.

Chen Ning couldn't help but take a half step back and said, "We still need to divide it."

Luo Qingcheng also said softly, "Yes, junior brother, this time in Heaven of Profound Understanding, we will advance and retreat together, and look out for each other!"
