Three Nothing sighed with feeling.
Then he used his own life and nature to fill the gaps in Jia Hua's.
Soon, in his quiet chamber, Jia Hua was considering his next move when a thought suddenly arose in his mind for no reason at all.
The world is so vast. I want to see it.
I've been wearing myself out for so long. Why not go out and clear my head?
The thought came out of nowhere. Startled, he instinctively moved to summon his "Nature Root" and examine himself.
But that vigilance lasted only an instant. He shook his head and sighed in self-mockery. "I've really grown too cautious. I only examined myself a few days ago. What could possibly be amiss? Ah, my senior brother has truly done me a terrible turn this time. The hunt has been underway for so long, yet I still haven't found anyone to hunt on behalf of the Peaceful Way Abbey."
He walked outside as he pondered.
Once he reached the street, his gaze suddenly sharpened. In the distance, he spotted a young man of around twenty, pale-faced and travel-worn. Illuminating light streamed from between the young man's brows, enveloping a roadside vendor and suppressing the vendor's Spiritual Nature. He was questioning the vendor closely about why the Xu Household had suddenly become able to cultivate, and seemed to be probing for their cultivation formula as well.
Jia Hua frowned at the sight. Was this fellow a fool, asking an ordinary vendor about something like that? Still, it was proof enough that he had reached the end of his rope and lost his head. At least he retained a little caution, so he was not a complete idiot.
Whatever the case, unknown variables were what Jia Hua disliked most.
He immediately began investigating.
