The wind over the lake was a thousand strands, weaving through the formation by some unknown means to reach the arena, thinning the mist and lowering the temperature.
Much like the mood of the two people in the arena at that moment.
“My medical skill is inferior to Shang’s, and also inferior to Yin’s.”
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets looked at him and said, “If neither of them has any solution, I don’t know where to begin either.”
Chen Changsheng gazed into the distance. On the other side of the dispersing mist, he could faintly make out the azure blue lake—a beautiful sight.
“However, based on my speculation, since your problem stems from the meridians being blocked by the explosion of the sun wheel when you were an infant, then if you refrain from attempting cultivation, or even directly disperse all the true essence within your body, you might barely manage to maintain the current state. At the very least… it could delay the outbreak of your injuries.”
Hearing the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets’ words, Chen Changsheng withdrew his gaze and asked, “Senior, how certain are you?”
Regarding this matter, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets had already spent a long time calculating while Chen Changsheng was unconscious. He answered directly, “Twenty percent.”
Twenty percent—truly an awkward number. It could be called hope, yet it was too faint; it could be called despair, yet the path ahead was still visible.
Today, Chen Changsheng had learned many things—many things about himself. Yet at the end of the road ahead, there still loomed a vast shadow.
If it had been anyone else, tossed back and forth between hope and despair several times, their spirit would likely have long since collapsed. But not him.
He even managed to break free from his earlier emotions quickly, returning to a state of true calm.
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets’ expression remained unchanged, but a storm was stirring within his heart—with a temperament like this boy’s, if Heaven had not denied him life, how could he fail to attain the Great Way?
Chen Changsheng’s willpower was truly terrifying. He recovered his calm at an unimaginable speed, even forgetting the conversation that had just taken place.
Then, he asked a very naive and childish question.
“Senior, which side are you on?”
……
……
If anyone else had asked the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets such a question, their fate would certainly have been miserable.
But Chen Changsheng’s identity was very special—whether it was his relationship with the Pope and Shang, or his possible connection with the Holy Empress.
The Old Man of Heavenly Secrets actually answered him in full detail.
