Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 992: 623, Golden Family Members, Zheng Yuandong

In the Daoist concept.

Thunder is the hub of yin and yang, the foundation of all things.

Qing Chen knew that what was on this paper must be very important.

Because if it weren’t something particularly important, Daoism wouldn’t use the immortal seal script to write it.

Found a treasure.

At this moment, Qing Chen focused intently on the content on the paper, and the thunder within his body undulated uncontrollably.

He was somewhat stunned, how could this thing be so strange? He hadn’t even comprehended what this Daoist text was about, and it had already stirred the thunder power within him?!

Previously, he was pondering how to advance the thunder within his body.

An Awakener’s advancement is more about timing, but he couldn’t bring himself to do what Jindai Yunhe did like killing a superior or losing a loved one to continue awakening.

Therefore, when this thunder technique appeared, Qing Chen made up his mind to translate it.

Zhunti’s Breathing Technique can enhance his Knight Vital Energy, and ultimately when the quantity changes to a qualitative change, it liquefies.

Now, he wondered if this thunder technique could also help him continue to improve his abilities as an Awakener?

Qing Chen memorized all the characters on the paper, then threw it into the bonfire, watching it burn to ashes.

“Hey!” Ma Jingjing and others in the distance were anxious, knowing it was something important, how could he burn it just like that.

However, Qing Chen merely glanced at them and did not care.

For him, storing them in his mind was the safest.

Yangyang curiously asked beside him, “Is it useful?”

Qing Chen nodded: “Useful.”

Yangyang’s eyes lit up: “What’s written on it?”

Qing Chen shook his head: “It’s not clear at the moment, the characters are in the immortal seal script, we’ll need to find someone to translate it back.”

Zard suddenly asked from the side, “What’s the relationship between the immortal seal script and ‘immortal swindle’?”

Qing Chen: “… No relation.”

At this time.

“Congratulations, your luck is really good,” the Shadow said with a smile. “I wasn’t expecting much, but you actually found something useful.”

But Qing Chen shook his head: “It’s not luck.”

Honestly, this really wasn’t luck.

Having a demigod brother willing to use the Qing’s Financial Group’s power, mobilize extensively and gather all the cultural relic materials from the Federation and beyond.

When all the cultural relic materials in the world are in his hands, then his chance of acquiring something specific changes from a coincidence to an inevitability.

That wasn’t luck.

Or rather, his luck wasn’t in finding the materials.

But having such a brother.

Qing Chen looked at the Shadow, and said seriously and solemnly: “Thank you.”

The Shadow was taken aback, then waved his hand: “No need to thank me, it was just a small effort, not troublesome.”

One wonders what the three plundered financial groups would think upon hearing this.

Qing Chen continued to pick through the remaining cultural relic materials, finding no new discoveries.

…

…

In a small bar in City No. 22, Zheng Yuandong and Lu Yuan were sitting side by side.

Lu Yuan said softly: “Boss, did you see the news online? About the Shadow robbing the three financial groups? They say he took away their stored cultural books. There were also rumors in the black market that the Qing’s shadow is looking for texts from a previous civilization.”

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him: “Just say what you mean.”

“Boss, do you think it might be related to Qing Chen?” Lu Yuan said curiously.

Zheng Yuandong shook his head: “No need to guess, it definitely is related. I suspect Qing Chen is searching for a potentially existing cultivation heritage. It seems he didn’t agree to give me Zhunti’s Breathing Technique because he had this in mind. I also suspected that among the financial groups’ cultural relic materials, there exist cultivation heritages that could be deciphered by the Outer World. I intended to act on it, but before I could, they snatched it up. Moreover, I never expected… the Shadow to act so aggressively.”

In the outside world, Qing Chen is seen as the Shadow’s subordinate, so there’s seemingly no reason for the Shadow to go to such lengths for Qing Chen.

Even Zheng Yuandong and the others cannot comprehend this situation.

Lu Yuan said softly: “If the Shadow really is searching for cultivation heritages for him, doesn’t Qing Chen’s identity seem a bit too bizarre? That’s the Qing’s shadow, yet he’s searching for techniques for him…”

Zheng Yuandong continued: “Whether this matter is related to Qing Chen or not will be clear if, upon returning, he brings back something we can trade for. The Shadow wouldn’t act lightly. He is a very cautious person, which is why I suspect… his time is running out.”

Only one who is nearing the end acts so freely, no longer caring about societal views, no longer concerned with what other forces might speculate.

What matters is his own joy.

Clearly the mindset of one nearing the end of his life.

Zheng Yuandong said: “I’m more concerned about one thing now, Ma Jingjing revealed in the academy forum that Qing Chen is currently in the 10th Taboo Land, and I think they haven’t left yet. And the Observer organization has already discovered that the Chen Clan’s army has moved towards that area under the guise of drills. Just now, someone witnessed the demigod of the Chen Clan, Chen Yu, riding a Green Ox and flying into the sky, leaving No. 7 city.”

Lu Yuan froze for a moment: “Wasn’t it said that he wouldn’t leave there easily?”

Zheng Yuandong said gravely: “According to online reports, the direction Chen Yu is heading towards is indeed the 10th Taboo Land. Not just Chen Yu, several experts from Deer Island and Jindai have also gone missing, and special forces under both Jindai and Deer Island have simultaneously left their posts under the name of drills, whereabouts unknown. It looks like the Inner World will once again experience turmoil in the near future. The increasingly frequent battles of demigods are not a good sign.”
