Jiang Chen's words caused the old liar to sink into contemplation. His entire being seemed to have sunk into silence. He lowered his head in contemplation. His eyes flickered with a strange luster. His brows were knitted and relaxed. This state lasted for half an hour. During this half an hour, the courtyard was abnormally quiet.
Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog didn't say a word. They knew that the old liar was contemplating. Reaching the level of the old liar, one needed an opportunity. Three hundred years ago, the old liar tried to break through to the half-step Sovereign realm using the Dao of Forgetfulness, but ultimately failed. This matter was destined to leave a shadow in the old liar's heart. To most peerless Venerables, they might only have one chance to break through to the Sovereign realm in their lifetime. Once they failed, there wouldn't be a second chance.
This was because it was very difficult for them to give up all their previous paths. The blow of failure was too great. Not only would it affect their temperament and state, it would also affect their luck. This could be seen from the old liar's three hundred years of decadence.
Jiang Chen's cultivation base was far from the old liar's, but he had different cultivation experiences from his previous life. He had his own unique understanding of the cultivation diagram. As the saying goes, the onlooker sees clearly. Right now, the old liar had fallen into a quagmire. He kept struggling but couldn't break free. In the end, he could only let it go. Jiang Chen hoped that his words would be able to help the old liar.
Suddenly, two rays of light flickered in the old liar's eyes. Just these two rays of light were enough to illuminate the entire courtyard. He suddenly stood up from the rock and stared at Jiang Chen with a pair of eyes that were as bright as the stars. After that, the old liar began to mutter to himself, "Forgetfulness, I can't forgetfulness. So it turns out that I'm destined to never walk the Dao of Forgetfulness."
The old liar seemed to have gained an epiphany. He had never thought about something that he had never thought about all these years. He didn't expect that Jiang Chen's words would be able to enlighten him today. The old liar suddenly saw a bright light in his dark world, emitting endless brilliance very quickly.
"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect that I, Xiao Wangqing, had been dispirited for hundreds of years, but in the end, it was you who enlightened me. Now, I'm going to find back the feelings of the past. I entered the Dao through love and now, I'm going to sever the Dao of Forgetting Love and find the way to step into the Sovereign Realm again."
The old liar walked up to Jiang Chen and reached out his somewhat dull hand to pat Jiang Chen's shoulder.
"Senior, you just need to find yourself and find your original heart. As long as it's still there and your heart remains the same, breaking through to the Emperor Realm is just around the corner."
Jiang Chen said. He could sense the changes in the old liar. This half an hour was very significant to the old liar. It was much more than what he had comprehended in the past three hundred years. As the saying went, a moment of enlightenment was better than a thousand years of bitter cultivation. Jiang Chen knew that as long as the old liar could find his past self, breaking through to the Emperor realm would not be a problem at all.
"I'm going to leave soon. I don't know when I'll be able to see you again. If I can break through to the Emperor realm in the future, it will all be thanks to you, little friend. But before I leave, I'll bring you out of this valley first. Otherwise, the Devil Ape won't let this matter go."
The old liar said. He was going to leave now to find his past self. However, he couldn't let Jiang Chen stay here alone. The Devil Ape wouldn't give up just like that. It would definitely look for trouble again.
Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog exchanged glances and nodded their heads. Their purpose in coming to the valley was only to find out the secret of this place. Now that they had found out the secret, there was no need for them to stay any longer. Besides, what the old liar said was right. The Devil Ape wouldn't let this matter go. They had witnessed how terrifying the Devil Ape was. Even if such a powerful Venerable couldn't walk out from that spatial zone, he would still have other unfathomable means to deal with it. Any means that the current Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog wouldn't be able to handle.
With a flick of his robe, the old liar wrapped Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog up. In the next instant, Jiang Chen and Da Huang Dog left the valley and appeared at the edge of the outer prefecture. By the time they reacted, the old liar had already disappeared without a trace, as though he had never appeared before.
Given the old liar's strength, he could go anywhere in the world. Not to mention geniuses, he could even sneak into the imperial palace of Great Qian Empire without anyone noticing.
Venerable Wang Qing, Xiao Wangqing, represented the same era as Yang Junlong. If the news of his reappearance was spread out, it would surely cause an uproar. If the Master of Genius Prefecture, Yang Zanqing, knew that he would surely come out to greet him on his knees.
Jiang Chen looked at the valley below and couldn't help but sigh. It was the feeling of surviving a calamity. This trip to the valley had a great impact on Jiang Chen. It allowed him to know what a true expert was. Existences at the level of the Devil Ape and Xiao Wangqing were unimaginable to him.
"A Venerable of a generation already has such omnipotent abilities. What kind of existence is the legendary Sovereign Realm?"
Jiang Chen's eyes were full of longing. He thought of Yan Chenyu in the Immortal Burying Coffin. After witnessing the terror of the old liar and the Devil Ape, Jiang Chen finally realized that he still had a long way to go in order to uncover Yan Chenyu's secret.
"This experience is a good thing for you. It will make you clear your goal and position," said Da Huang Dog.
Big Yellow said. He knew that Jiang Chen was an arrogant man. Jiang Chen had his own goal, but he didn't know to what extent it was. After experiencing the valley and witnessing the scariness of the Heaven Devouring Devil Ape and the old liar, Jiang Chen finally understood the gap between them and his goal became clearer.
"Yes, I've reacquainted myself."
Jiang Chen nodded. When he thought of the scariness of the Heaven Devouring Devil Ape and the old liar, his heart suddenly pounded. That was the heart of a powerhouse. After cultivating the dragon transformation skill, Jiang Chen had long possessed the heart of a powerhouse. Now, the heart of a powerhouse had changed because of Jiang Chen's change, showing signs of metamorphosis.
* Buzz … *
A buzzing sound rang out from Jiang Chen's body. Rays of light radiated from his heart. This was a kind of potential stimulation, equivalent to an epiphany.
Da Huang Dog's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the stimulation this time would have such a great impact on Jiang Chen, causing him to undergo a metamorphosis and awaken the Heart of an Expert.
"This fellow is truly blessed by the heavens, a peerless monstrous genius. The metamorphosis of the Heart of an Expert will allow his cultivation base to improve again. Even if he can't break through to the Immortal King realm, it shouldn't be too bad."
Da Huang Dog mused. Although he had experienced too many miracles with Jiang Chen, he was still somewhat surprised by the metamorphosis of the Heart of an Expert.
