Traveling Through the Heavens: Intercepting Duan Yu at the Beginning

Shi Jian put Shi Shaojian's body down, then took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and stared at Fade Chen intently: "Boy, you're a little too cruel."

"We were sparring with fellow disciples, and the opponent was your nephew. How dare you resort to such cruel means? You are unworthy of being a cultivator."

"People like you will only bring disaster to the world if they stay here. Today, I will destroy your cultivation and let you live peacefully as an ordinary person."

"From now on, you will stay in Maoshan, chanting scriptures and cultivating your mind every day. You can't go anywhere else!"

Shi Jian's words sounded nice. Chen Fei crippled Shi Shaojian's arm, but he only allowed Chen Fei to stay in Maoshan. However, after staying in Maoshan, his life and death would still be decided by him.

"Big Brother, what you said is not right."

"I fought with my nephew, and he was defeated. I can only say that he lacked strength and luck. Isn't that what you said just now?"

"What's more... he used Palm Thunder on me, clearly intending to kill me. May I ask what you were doing at that time, Senior Brother?"

"Your son is the only one allowed to kill me? You're really overbearing!"

Chen Fei grinned, not taking Shi Jian's threat seriously at all.

"Good boy, you have a sharp tongue."

"Let me see if your strength is as tough as your words!"

Stab...

As Shi Jian became angry, bolts of lightning ran back and forth between his hands. Wherever the dazzling lightning passed, a smell of ozone appeared in the air.

"Lightning Thunder Fist!"

crackling...

A thick bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, heading straight for Fade Chen's face.

This time, Fade Chen did not stand still and take it head-on. The Lightning Thunder Fist that Shi Jian, with his eighth-level Qi Refining strength, personally unleashed was not comparable to the talisman on Shi Shaojian's body.

The power of this lightning alone is no weaker than the destructive power of the early stage of innateness.

Although it was nothing compared to Chen Fei's peak Grandmaster strength, Chen Fei did not intend to reveal too much of his strength. Moreover, he also wanted to use his magic power to fight Shi Jian.

"Blue Sky Arrow!"

The Qingming Arrow is also one of the Three Netherworld Arrows, but the power of this arrow far exceeds the Qingming Arrow used by Shi Shaojian.

The three-inch arrow collided with Shi Jian's lightning, and both of them turned into nothingness in an instant.

"Huh? How come!"

Shi Jian widened his eyes, looking at the scene in disbelief. His Lightning Thunder Fist was actually broken.

Although he didn't use his full strength in this move, it still shouldn't be something a person at the fourth level of Qi Refining could handle.

"No, your strength... is at the sixth level of Qi Refining!"

"How is it possible? How can you be so strong?!"

Shi Jian's old eyes were filled with shock, not only him, but even Uncle Jiu was shocked.

He only knew that Chen Fei's strength was improving rapidly, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. In just a few months, he had already reached the same level as himself.

If he were given a little more time, it would be disastrous. I'm afraid he would really be able to become someone who can take the step beyond Qi Refining in the Dharma-Ending Age.

"Stop it, Senior Brother, Junior Brother, stop fighting!"

Uncle Jiu and the others looked at each other, then jumped into the square and stopped Chen Fei and Shi Jian who were about to take action.

"Big Brother, Junior Brother is also young and impulsive. Don't bother with him."

"The Blood God Cult is eyeing us covetously, and who knows what they are secretly plotting. We must not start a fight among ourselves!"

"That's right, Big Brother, we will try our best to treat my nephew's injury, but we must not destroy the genius of Maoshan."

The 35th generation disciples split into two sides, one stopping Chen Fei and the other stopping Shi Jian.

Chapter 106: Cultivating the Mind (Supplementing yesterday’s chapter)

"Heh...good boy...good boy..."

Shi Jian was stopped by everyone and couldn't help but gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't possibly attack his fellow apprentices. In the end, he retracted the lightning in his hand and looked at Chen Fei with flaming eyes.

"Kid, remember this, I'll settle this account with you sooner or later!"

After saying that, Shi Jian picked up Shi Shaojian from the ground and walked quickly towards the backyard of Maoshan.

"Junior Brother, you are impulsive. No matter how wrong Shi Shaojian was, you shouldn't have crippled his arm. After all, he is still the son of our senior brother."

Simu sighed, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Brother Yimei, please take Junior Brother away from Maoshan immediately."

"After a while, when the eldest brother's anger has subsided, I'll bring the younger brother back to admit my mistake and make amends."

"It would be best to find a way to help Shaojian grow a new arm, even if it's just another one." Taoist Qianhe also kept persuading!

"I understand, Xiaofei, let's leave Maoshan today!"

Uncle Jiu nodded helplessly. In fact, even he felt that Fade Chen was a bit too harsh.

At the same time, Uncle Jiu was also quite confused. Logically speaking, Chen Fei was not such an impulsive person. Why did he act without considering the consequences this time?

The group of four packed their bags and hurried down from Maoshan that afternoon.

In the main hall of Maoshan, a figure stood on the attic, staring at the four figures coming down the mountain, his eyes full of flames of anger.

"What a great Chen Fei, what a great Yimei, great, great, very great!"

Bang!

Shi Jian punched the window frame in front of him, causing the window to make a loud noise.

. . . . .

Late at night, at the Ren family manor outside of town!

Chen Fei stood on the balcony, looking at the suburbs shrouded in darkness, his eyes full of deep thought.

He felt that there was something wrong with him, a problem with his state of mind!

Although Chen Fei was also a decisive and ruthless person in the Tianlong world, he did go a little too far when dealing with Shi Shaojian.

On the way back, Uncle Jiu talked to him a lot. When Chen Fei calmed down, he found that he was a little out of control.

The powerful force made him begin to ignore many people and things, and he could even look at others from a superior perspective.

In the original novel, although Shi Jian and Shi Shaojian are considered villains, they are not villains in the true sense.

Shi Shaojian cast a curse on the woman, but in the final analysis it was just to make her have a wet dream, but she was killed by Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

As Shi Shaojian's father, Shi Jian was determined to resurrect his son, so he chose to sacrifice innocent people.

If something had happened, it would be understandable for Chen Fei to cripple these two people or even kill them, but now nothing has happened yet, so why should he just cripple Shi Shaojian directly?

"Ah... that's a bit too extreme!"

Chen Fei sighed helplessly, but the thing had already been done and there was no point in regretting it.

He knew that this was most likely the aftereffect of the Beiming Divine Art absorbing too much internal energy.

Ordinary people practice cultivation step by step, especially those who reach Chen Fei's level, who are one in ten thousand.

Those who can reach this point have profound accumulation, but most of Chen Fei's internal strength comes from swallowing or passing on power.

Although he secluded himself for a few years afterwards, this process was more about practicing other martial arts rather than settling down to cultivate his mind.

His power came too easily. The reason why Xiaoyaozi was able to stick to his original intention was that he was a scholar of nature and had a thorough knowledge of astronomy, geography and other subjects from ancient and modern sages' books. He had the foundation to purify his heart.

But Chen Fei couldn't do that. He had the strength but lacked the mentality to match it.

"Forget it, let's just retreat for a while!"

"If I can't adjust my state of mind, I'm afraid I'll completely fall into the devil's way if this continues."

With this thought in mind, Fade Chen turned and walked into his room, preparing to retreat for a while to cultivate his body and mind.

The study behind him was filled with books, but they were not cultivation secrets, but pure ancient and modern classics.

Reading makes people wise, reading makes people intelligent, and reading makes people know what to do and what not to do.

Practicing Taoism is not just about cultivating martial arts or magic power, it is also extremely important to cultivate one's own character.

If one does not cultivate the mind but only practices the Dharma, and his virtue is not worthy of his position, then what is the difference between him and a member of a cult?

People should control their own power rather than be controlled by power.

As the door closed, Fade Chen began his long retreat.

One day...three days...half a month...one month...

As time passed, he locked himself in the study every day. When he was tired, he would walk around the manor to relax, and then return to the study to read.

During this period, Uncle Jiu was quite relieved after learning about this matter. He knew that Chen Fei had taken his words to heart.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai wanted to go out with Chen Fei, but were severely reprimanded by Uncle Jiu, who then strictly forbade them to disturb Chen Fei.

During this period, Ren Tingting came once to say goodbye.

Ren Tingting's father died, and she had no other relatives in Renjia Town except her cousin Awei.

As for Chen Fei, although she had a good impression of him, Ren Tingting was not stupid. She could feel that Chen Fei's attitude towards her was not one of love between men and women.

Since this is the case, there is nothing left for her to worry about in Renjia Town. Instead of staying in this place, it is better to leave and start over.

During this period, she sold all the properties in Renjia Town for cash and prepared to live in the provincial capital.

On the day Ren Tingting left, Chen Fei went out specially to see her off. This was also the only time Chen Fei went out after his retreat.

At the train station, Ren Tingting looked at Chen Fei reluctantly. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, do you have me in your heart?"

Ren Tingting still didn't give up. She wanted to hear Chen Fei tell her the result in person.

"Hey, Tingting, isn't it good to be friends?"

"In my heart, I have always regarded you as my younger sister, a kind, beautiful and graceful younger sister!" Chen Fei avoided Ren Tingting's sight somewhat evasively.

No one is heartless, especially when a beautiful woman actively pursues a man. Unless the man is a eunuch, basically no one can resist.

Chen Fei is also a normal man, but he knows his own situation. He doesn't know how long he will stay in this world. If he leaves after five or ten years, what will happen to Ren Tingting?

But if he stayed in this world, this was not what Chen Fei had in mind. His goal was destined to be a different world.

Instead of suffering all the time, it is better to cut the Gordian knot and let Ren Tingting give up this idea as soon as possible.

"I see!"

Ren Tingting held back the tears in her eyes, turned around silently, and boarded the train without any hesitation.

"Ugh..."

Looking at Ren Tingting's departing back, Fade Chen sighed again.

Perhaps some people are destined to be just passers-by in life. When the fate is over, we may never meet again!

Chapter 107 Half a Year

Spring passes and autumn comes, time flies.

Before he knew it, half a year had passed since Chen Fei had been studying in seclusion. From the beginning of early spring, it was autumn in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Fade Chen put down the book in his hand, stretched and walked out of the room.

In the past six months, he has put aside all his restlessness and can even be said to have never left the house. Except for sending Ren Tingting to the train station, he has not left the manor once.

Until now, he has read all the books in the study.

Chen Fei patiently read through all the famous historical works, including the Four Books and Five Classics, the Complete Works of the Philosophers, the Zuo Zhuan, the Chu Ci, etc.

"Sir, you are out of the customs!"

When the servants in the mansion saw Chen Fei, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they lowered their heads to greet him.

"Well, thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Fei smiled and nodded to them, then left the house on his own.

"Have you noticed that the gentleman seems to have changed a lot?"
