Inside the secluded chamber!
Chen An sat cross-legged on the stone bed, looking at the system before him.
"System, use the Mystic Origin Union Canon, the Spirit Pact Dual Cultivation Art, the Heaven-Earth Joining Scripture... to derive a dual cultivation method suited to Shen Qinglan and me. It must do me no harm, but allow her to improve her cultivation and aptitude!" After a moment's thought, Chen An gave the system his command.
He had obtained all these dual cultivation methods from the Heaven-Dominating Sect's library and from the souls of Qi Hanfeng, Qin Yuan, and others.
He had only memorized them in passing. He had never expected them to come in handy today.
Shen Qinglan might have looked tough and carefree, but Chen An knew she hid a trace of insecurity and fear deep in her heart.
He had surged ahead without pause, reaching the Saint King Realm in just a few months. Now he looked down upon the entire Azure Origin Continent, someone countless people gazed up to.
Though she had been gifted and cultivated diligently, she was still only in the Xiantian Realm. The gulf between their cultivation levels kept widening.
As the saying went, a dragon did not dwell among snakes!
If that gulf grew too wide, then no matter how close he and Shen Qinglan were, no matter how free of other intentions he was, who could say whether she might start imagining things?
The human heart was sometimes the hardest thing to fathom!
That was why, after catching that fleeting look of dejection in Shen Qinglan's eyes, he had come up with this solution that was hardly a solution at all.
