Chapter 851 - 255: Ghost
Chapter 255 [Ghost]
Chen Yan closed his eyes, his thoughts calming down only after more than ten seconds.
He was certain he had indeed seen something!
That half-transparent figure was definitely not a hallucination or visual illusion—actually, with his level of cultivation, it’s virtually impossible to see incorrectly.
Earlier, when Chen Yan’s eyes just swept past, according to human instinct, if one’s sight suddenly catches an unexpected presence, one would momentarily pause while instinctively focusing one’s gaze, staring for a moment at the unexpected presence...
But just before Chen Yan’s instinctive reaction could occur, a huge wave of dread surged in his spiritual sense!
Within his divine sense, there seemed to be a frenzied signal desperately warning him: The presence he saw was extremely dangerous!!
This frenzied warning from the divine sense made Chen Yan feel as if he was being stared at by a colossal beast.
Within his divine sense, an awareness directly alerted him.
Don’t let her discover!!
This reaction came even faster than instinct, making Chen Yan react immediately.
His gaze swept over naturally, without lingering on that half-transparent figure.
It seemed just like waking up unintentionally in the middle of the night and then naturally falling asleep again.
His breathing was steady, eyelids heavy, and even the heartbeat that skipped half a beat was controlled by Chen Yan into a stable rhythm!
He kept his eyes closed for more than thirty seconds.
During these thirty seconds, Chen Yan let himself calm down!
That half-transparent figure... who was it!
It was unmistakably Lu Sisi’s appearance, but it couldn’t possibly be Lu Sisi herself in some soul detachment or divine sense wandering.
It was...
[The so-called existence within Lu Sisi that crosses tribulations, has it awakened?!]
Chen Yan came to his first judgment.
Then, quickly, his thoughts rapidly spun, naturally drawing more speculation and queries from this first judgment.
[Why did it awaken early? Shouldn’t it awaken only after the tribulation is over?]
[How long has it been awake?]
[Why does it gaze at me with those cold eyes?]
[Is it hovering and secretly watching me because it has some plot?]
Question after question surfaced in Chen Yan’s heart. Some could be answered speculatively, but others could not.
However, Chen Yan came to a conclusion that gave him a slight sense of relief.
[It should temporarily be incapable of doing anything to me!]
This speculation made Chen Yan’s heart a bit more at ease.
This being stared at him, anyway, that gaze could hardly be called friendly. But it was only staring—staring and nothing more.
Is it because it is unable to do anything to me?
Ah, right!!
An idea flashed through Chen Yan’s mind, and he suddenly understood.
Heavenly Dao suppression!!
·
Suppose Lu Sisi is the reincarnation of a great power from the Domain Realm.
Then... even if this great power awakens early in this world, it would still be suppressed by this world’s Heavenly Dao.
This world doesn’t allow beings above the Celestial Human Realm!
As strong as Young Lady Gu, coming to this world could only retain Third Realm Cultivation—Ascension Realm.
And as formidable as the Yunqiao Great Demon, it can only hide in the Mirror World, but once it comes out, it’s chased by thunder!
And higher levels than Venerable Saints, there is no need to mention—Venerables can’t cross the World Wall!!
The old lady came to this world and was suppressed even harder, only capable of being a normal person for so many years!
Therefore...
No matter how high the cultivation of Lu Sisi’s previous-life great power within her, in this world, I seemingly need not fear it!
Theoretically, at most, in this world it can only exert Ascension Realm cultivation—the same as me!
Furthermore, if its original cultivation is higher, then in this world it doesn’t even have Ascension Realm—it would be weaker than me!
And there’s another fact...
[Could it be that before finishing crossing tribulations, it’s not truly awakened? Hence it can’t do anything to me, only watch like a ghost, unable to act or interfere?]
Chen Yan proposed another speculation.
A few minutes later, after repeated pondering, Chen Yan grew increasingly confident.
He believed his speculations were at least seventy percent reliable.
Huh?
How long has it been awake?
Did it just awaken today?
Or has it been awake for some time now?
Chen Yan’s mind was stirred by this speculation. He took a deep breath, pretending to drowsily awaken, turning over in bed, naturally extending an arm to wrap around Lu Sisi sleeping beside him.
His arm naturally draped over Lu Sisi’s waist, then his hand seemingly naturally slid downward from the waist, finally resting on his girlfriend’s smooth thigh, fingers gently rubbing on Lu Sisi’s leg.
Meanwhile, Chen Yan had already quietly squinted his eyes open just a crack, his divine sense also naturally extending a bit.
Instantly!
Though Chen Yan had mentally prepared himself, he still nearly lost composure!
Just because the moment he squinted his eyes open, he saw that half-transparent figure had already unknowingly floated to the bedside!
It was right there on Lu Sisi’s side, standing by the bedside, coldly watching... his hand!
