“This…” Qin Chen exclaimed in surprise, stepping back a few paces, only to realize that the person who was so close to him was actually Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor.
“Miss Hua Zhi, what… what are you doing?” Qin Chen said with a bewildered expression.
Could it be that this person had some ulterior motives against him?
Hua Zhi, the Divine Emperor, was also taken aback, her face turning fiery red as if she had been caught doing something wrong.
She wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide herself.
So this is what mortals often describe as being shy?
Hua Zhi’s face flushed red. Although the person in front of her was quite handsome, being discovered in such a situation inevitably made her feel a bit embarrassed.
“Ahem.” Clearing her throat, Hua Zhi hurriedly said, “I was just observing whether you have entered the Dao. By looking at the alignment of your eyebrows, I can tell whether you are immersed in the path of the river of fate and how deeply you are immersed.”
“Is that so?” Qin Chen questioned skeptically.
“Of course, would I lie to you?” Hua Zhi stood tall, speaking with conviction. Then she suddenly looked puzzled. “By the way, weren’t you comprehending the core source of the path of the river of fate? Why did you suddenly open your eyes?”
“I… It seems I sensed the core source of the path of the river of fate, so I wanted to consult you about it,” Qin Chen replied.
“What? You sensed it?” Hua Zhi was startled. “How long has it been?”
She shook her head repeatedly. “Impossible. The core source of the path of the river of fate is exceedingly profound. When I broke through to the divine emperor realm, it took me several days to sense it for the first time. How long did it take you?”
“But I really sensed it,” Qin Chen said as he recounted the images he had perceived earlier.
“This…” Hua Zhi was stunned. What Qin Chen said seemed to be true. With suspicion, she said, “It’s quite simple to verify whether you have sensed the core source of the river of fate. Just try to absorb its power. If you can absorb it, then it means you truly sensed it.”
Absorb?
Qin Chen nodded and closed his eyes once more.
“Boom!”
With the first experience behind him, this time he directly sensed a surge of power and immediately began to draw upon the destiny power within.
With this pull!
Boom!
A terrifying surge of destiny power rushed toward Qin Chen like a tidal wave, flooding into his body continuously.
In an instant, the entire river of fate began to violently ripple.
“What is this…”
On the surface of the river of fate, Hua Zhi was dumbfounded as she witnessed this scene unfold.
At that moment, she finally believed that Qin Chen truly sensed the core source of the path of the river of fate. Because only by sensing the core source could one absorb the core power within the river of fate.
But the commotion was just too great, wasn't it?
Seeing the river of fate, which was originally flowing quietly, suddenly swell like it had been struck by a tsunami, Hua Zhi was left bewildered.
Not only Hua Zhi, but as the river of fate surged, Mo Li and the others who were sparring in the Void Realm Layer also felt this change.
The turbulence of the river of fate was so terrifying that any divine emperor-level powerhouse could feel the fluctuations of fate and the unpredictability of life.
“What is this…”
Mo Li stopped fighting, staring in shock at the endless depths of the sky, where the great path of the heavens surged like divine punishment.
“What kind of major event has that guy Qin Chen caused again?”
Mo Li was wide-eyed.
Such an anomaly must mean that this kid had encountered some sort of change.
Moreover, within this wispy aura, Mo Li sensed an intangible force of fate seeping toward him.
“Fate is unpredictable and extremely strange. That kid Qin Chen has comprehended this path and improved his cultivation so much; I can’t fall behind.”
“I need to seize this opportunity.”
Mo Li wasted no time, quickly sitting cross-legged and starting to comprehend.
