Contemplating the Sun and Lunar Immortal Scriptures

Su Chen was extremely resistant to the thought of sharing a room with Tang San for several years.

That kid came from the Tang Sect. He was a cold-blooded killer.

You never knew when you might offend him.

Then he would slap you with the label of the Way of Death.

Su Chen supported Old Jack by the arm. "Grandpa Old Jack, give my work-study student spot to Tang San. I can't bear to see you running around to other villages."

Old Jack was deeply moved, his eyes even growing moist. What a good child.

His aged palm patted the back of Su Chen's tender hand.

"Little Chen, I know you care about your grandpa. You and Little San are both children of the village. Neither of you can be left behind. You both have to study at Nuoding Academy."

"I will never let only Little San go to the academy while leaving you in the village."

Su Chen smiled and comforted Old Jack.

"Grandpa Old Jack, you don't need to worry about me."

"When Master Su Yuntao left, he told me I could go to the Spirit Hall Branch and apply for a recommendation spot, allowing me to enter Nuoding Academy without paying tuition or miscellaneous fees."

"I just need to find Master Su Yuntao when the time comes."

Old Jack looked delighted, not only because Su Chen could obtain a recommendation spot from the Spirit Hall Branch, but also because Su Chen had caught the eye of an important figure from the Spirit Hall Branch.

Though Old Jack was the village chief, to him, Su Yuntao, a Two-Ring Soul Grandmaster, was already an exceptionally important person.

"Good, good, good!"

Old Jack repeatedly praised him and, supported by Su Chen, headed home.

"Little Chen, since you've caught the attention of an important figure from Spirit Hall, you must work even harder in the future."

"Haha, I'm happy today. Let's go back and stir-fry a couple of dishes so we can celebrate together, grandfather and grandson."

Old Jack and Su Chen, close as grandfather and grandson, gradually walked away.

Tang San stood where he was, at a loss. His expression kept shifting.

He had obtained the work-study student spot and could go to Nuoding Academy to study.

He should have been happy, yet he simply could not feel happy.

Having grown up in a killer sect like the Tang Sect, where had Tang San ever seen such a tactic for competing for favor?

This was how struggles between heirs had always been.

Tang San stood there, his body trembling slightly. His hands clenched tightly into fists, his nails digging into his palms.

He felt deeply displeased.

Damn Su Chen. Although you gave me the work-study student spot, you made me very unhappy. You have the Way of Death.

After lunch!

Su Chen moved a small stool into the courtyard, then sat down and raised his head, squinting at the round sun.

The scorching sunlight shone on his face, but instead of making him feel unbearably hot, it left him warm inside and out, as if there were a small furnace within his body.

Su Chen immersed his mind in the Great Sun Golden Crow Martial Soul and began contemplating the Sun Immortal Scripture.

The words he could not understand at all seemed to come alive at this moment, constantly evolving into words he could comprehend.

Su Chen contemplated them one word at a time.

Why is there no specific cultivation method in this Sun Immortal Scripture? It only talks about what the sun is, what the Golden Crow is, what the power of ultimate yang is... It's so complicated.

Su Chen contemplated it word by word, first reading it from beginning to end once, then from beginning to end a second time.

Huh? This Sun Immortal Scripture really reveals something new every time I read it. What I understood on the second reading gave me many different insights from the first.

Is this what they mean by reading a book a hundred times until its meaning reveals itself?

Su Chen's spirits lifted. His mind contemplated the Sun Immortal Scripture over and over again, gaining more insights with every additional reading.

All his attention was focused on the Sun Immortal Scripture. He completely failed to notice that while he was contemplating it—

His body had become like a furnace, continuously drawing in sunlight and transforming it into Golden Crow True Flame within the furnace, tempering his muscles, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, limbs, and body...

His physical strength was quietly increasing.

Time passed swiftly and soundlessly.

Only when the sun set behind the western hills and the warm sensation faded did Su Chen awaken from his state of contemplating the Sun Immortal Scripture.

He stood up and stretched lazily, his bones cracking all over.

Only then did he discover in surprise that his body seemed to have grown a little stronger. He had no concrete comparison, but he could simply feel that his hands had more strength.

Joy gleamed in Su Chen's eyes.

This Sun Immortal Scripture is amazing. It lets me contemplate the sun, the Golden Crow, and the power of ultimate yang, while also strengthening my body during contemplation.

Physical strength determines the age of the Soul Rings one can absorb. The greater my physical strength, the older the Soul Rings I can absorb.

It seems I'll have a chance to break the limits of Soul Ring absorption in the future.

At that moment, Old Jack called him to eat.

He answered and jogged back into the house.

After comfortably slurping down a bowl of noodles, Su Chen patted his round little belly and headed back into the courtyard.

Old Jack called for him to return and sleep, but he refused.

He said the courtyard was cooler.

In truth, he was contemplating the Lunar Immortal Scripture beneath the moonlight.

As his mind sank into the Lunar Jade Rabbit, insights regarding the moon, the jade rabbit, and the power of ultimate yin emerged one by one.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, its moonlight spilling into the courtyard like a thin veil draped over Su Chen's body.

Su Chen, already elegant and handsome, now appeared even more cool and otherworldly, like a pure moon that could be admired from afar but not profaned.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit was simply too overpowered!

When it came to beautifying and nourishing the complexion, it could fully rival the Blue Silver Emperor!

There was nothing bad about being good-looking. The preferential treatment that came with high attractiveness in life was something those with low attractiveness would not even dare imagine.

At this moment, beneath the moonlight, Su Chen looked like a figure carved from jade.

His skin was so pale that it seemed crystalline and translucent, so smooth that not a single pore could be seen.

His face was gentle, and his features were exquisite.

It was hard to imagine that he had grown up in a muddy hollow in the countryside.

Even the young noble ladies of the city, who maintained themselves every day, might not be more refined than him.

The moonlight flowed like water, cleansing him inside and out. His soul power was especially active.

Like fireflies drawn to light, his spiritual power chased after the moonlight, leaving his body and spreading throughout the courtyard and beyond.

Even with his eyes closed, Su Chen could "see" every flower and blade of grass around him, even more clearly than with his naked eyes.

The tiniest specks of dust in the air had nowhere to hide within his "field of vision."

Although he could only enter this state beneath the moonlight.

The improvement to his spiritual power was completely real.

Su Chen believed that one day, even without relying on moonlight, his spiritual power would be able to leave his body freely.

This was perfect!

He now had methods to improve both his body and soul!

Absorbing high-age Soul Rings, even Soul Rings over ten thousand years old, would no longer be a problem for him.

During the two months before Nuoding Academy began.

Su Chen contemplated the Sun Immortal Scripture during the day and the Lunar Immortal Scripture at night. Both his body and soul grew robustly at a visible pace.

Even Old Jack praised him, saying that when he worked in the fields, he was no worse than an adult.

As expected of a genius who had awakened a top-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power.
