Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 178: Where Is The Bad Guy?

"Y-you are insane!" Long Ruxue shouted with disbelief.

In response, Ye Chen just rolled his eyes and continued.

The reason he was confident in merging the cultivation techniques was not his comprehension but the divine resonance art itself.

Whoever created this has left a way to refine and add more techniques.

With this as a base and his divine comprehension ability, it would be easy.

Of course merging the entire cultivation technique was not simple; it would take ten years or even more.

However, what Ye Chen planned to merge was just a Qi-gathering stage technique.

This is what he needed now.

Of course dual cultivation was also included. There is no way he would forget this, as both ’Celestial Dragon Ascension Art’ and ’Primordial Dragon Space-Time Codex’ relied heavily on it.

Certainly there was no restriction on breakthroughs like divine resonance arts. Nonetheless, he did not plan to change this restriction, as it was more beneficial in the long term. All he needed to do now was merge and refine the dual cultivation process.

After writing the Qi-gathering stage techniques, he did not hesitate and utilized his ’Heavenly Comprehension’ divine ability.

Only after gaining a certain understanding could he merge them.

Seeing him not answering her, Long Ruxue pouted. However, she did not disturb him and started to look around.

’It’s really a world spirit,’ she muttered in her heart.

When Ye Chen was trying to steal the floating villa of the old man, she had sensed the world spirit’s aura.

It’s just that it was faint so she could not confirm it.

’Who is he really? He had a world spirit under him; there is a chaos entity in his consciousness,’ Long Ruxue was curious; however, no one could give her answers.

In the end she could only wander around.

Ye Chen was aware of her actions, but he did not stop her; she was bound to the heavenly spear, which meant she couldn’t go too far.

Shaking away his thoughts, he focused on cultivation techniques.

The ’Celestial Dragon Ascension Art’ was easier to understand. Although not made for humans, the essence remained the same; it’s just that the dragons relied heavily on their bloodlines.

Their blood can gather spiritual qi on their own, which means they could sleep and still advance. Furthermore, the higher the purity of bloodline, the stronger their strength will be.

Compared to this simple technique, ’Primordial Dragon Space-Time Codex’ was complicated. It not only requires a bloodline but also dragon scales.

Ye Chen wondered if he had to give up on humanity to cultivate this.

Wait a minute, he wasn’t human anymore.

"Come here; I have something to ask."

He suddenly thought of something, his gaze landing on the dragoness, who was bored by running around.

"What do you want?" Long Ruxue questioned with a pout.

I can’t even lie down peacefully, can I?

She complained in her heart as she floated in front of him.

"Show me your scales," Ye Chen did not waste time and instructed.

Long Ruxue glanced at the space-time codex and knew what he wanted to do.

But she did not refuse, only looking at him like an idiot.

Dragons were naturally born with scales. It not only stated their noble identity but also displayed their strength.

Imitating it was a pipe dream.

How could Ye Chen not understand? But he did not care.

Swoosh!

Long Ruxue condensed azure scales on her hands. They were beautiful and refined, like a jade carved by an expert.

However, because she did not have a physical body and was injured by the system, the scales looked delicate rather than oppressive.

At this moment, Ye Chen did not hesitate and used his ’Divine Eyes.’

In that instant the world in front of him became clear as crystal. When he focused his gaze on the scales, he could see countless threads intervening with each other, creating complicated formations that no one can replicate.

It was no wonder the dragoness looked at him with disdain.

"Mhm, that’s all I need," he spoke and once again focused his attention on the cultivation technique.

Seeing him like this, Long Ruxue snorted before lying freely on the ground to rest, her devilish figure in full display.

A pity Ye Chen paid no mind, as he was engrossed in his comprehension about what he saw.

He could certainly not recreate such complicated dragon scale. However, what if he started with just a simple one?

Later, as he grows stronger and as his comprehension increases, he could recreate them again and again, closing the gap between his and dragon scales.

Of course, creating even a simple one is not easy. Fortunately, he has divine dragon blood and a nine-dragon heart, which means his start wasn’t that bad.

...

"Huh, where is the bad guy?" Wang Yiyi muttered with confusion as she couldn’t find him anywhere.

Her master, Jing Xiao, said there was a fantastic opportunity for her in the backyard; however, to get there, she had to find the bad guy, who was nowhere to be seen.

Even his room was empty.

There was, of course, a jade slip with a message left by Ye Chen, but the girl was looking for a living person.

What does it have to do with a jade slip?

In the end she could only sulk and go find Li Mei.

As for Lan Ming, she was pulled by her master for some discussion.

She wanted to know what they wanted to talk about, but her master said little girls are not allowed to know this.

"Humph! Humph! What I can’t know?" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Recalling the words, she was unhappy; however, she did not dare to display it.

What if her master refuses to take her back? She did not want to live with the bad guy around who would bully her every day.

...

"The spiritual qi has changed," Zhen Yunqi frowned slightly.

She also has a supreme yin physique so she was sensitive to any small changes. She could sense the spiritual qi here was not favorable to her.

Which meant her naive little disciple should also be affected.

However, it was different for Lan Ming; she felt cultivating here would be much easier.

Ye Chen was unaware of this, as he did not examine the small changes. For him it was only an increase in the density of spiritual qi.

What could go wrong with this?
