Book 3: Chapter 30: Chen Heng Exploded

Chen Heng had nothing to worry about if his visualization target was the Chen Clan ancestor. That ancestor had vanished two thousand years ago and was probably dead already. Furthermore, even if that ancestor were alive—the chances of which were slim—that ancestor would not kill his final descendant.

On top of that, Chen Heng had a backup, which was the Dimension Administrators Association’s store’s “temporary” life service. The “temporary” life service would help block one fatal blow, at the cost of 5,000 points.

Truth be told, this service was worthwhile. If one did not suffer any fatal strikes, no points would be deducted.

As for understanding this ancestor, there was plenty of information in the ancestral spatial storage. All the images and information about everyone in the Chen Clan since the first generation of cultivators could be found in the spatial storage.

Chen Heng was the Chen Clan’s eighty-sixth-generation inheritor. That ancestor was the thirtieth generation.

Chen Heng dug through the information on the Chen Clan’s various generations at the ancestral hall in the spatial storage.

The more information Chen Heng looked through, the more alarmed he became. All of them died terrible deaths. Based on the image pearls, those with better talent died faster. Chen Heng died at twenty-one in the original timeline and was among the youngest to die.

After searching for a while, Chen Heng found that ancestor’s image pearl.

That ancestor’s name was Chen Xiu, and he was indeed extremely outstanding.

[TL Note: The Xiu character in Chen Xiu means outstanding/excellent.]

The image pearl contained this ancestor’s birthday, birthplace, character, interests, aptitude, and details of his cultivation technique. It also had images of him when he was a child, a youth, middle-aged, and in other life stages, as well as messages he had left for the later generations.

This was typical of the Chen Clan’s image pearls. Chen Heng’s father, Chen Xuan, also had an image pearl there.

Since this ancestor, every generation knew they might die at any time, so they would immediately leave an image pearl behind when they got married. This felt strangely sad.

After learning the information, Chen Heng had enough to begin visualizing.

Using the visualization technique, he slowly built an image of that Chen Clan ancestor in his mind.

After about ten-odd minutes of visualizing, the image of that Chen Clan ancestor in his youth with his eyes shut appeared in Chen Heng’s mind.

Having made this model, Chen Heng could use it as a target.

However, when Chen Heng started, he exploded—as literal as the word’s meaning.

Chen Heng’s mental space exploded. More specifically, the Chen Clan ancestor model he built suddenly opened his eyes and exploded when Chen Heng started the visualization technique.

When the model exploded, Chen Heng’s mental space also exploded. Strangely, nothing happened to him. His Will Energy had even grown significantly, by nearly half. Truly miraculous!

However, Chen Heng did not feel happy about it.

“Customer Service! Customer Service! I have a complaint!”

Why is it you again? What’s the problem? Speak quickly.

“The Will Energy visualization technique I bought in the association’s store exploded.”

Exploded?

“That’s right. After I finished building the model and started visualizing, the model’s eyes suddenly opened, and he exploded.”

What is strange about that? You never informed the target before visualizing him, right?

“What is there to inform? He disappeared over a thousand years ago. His ashes have probably already decomposed.”

You said it earlier. The model suddenly opened his eyes. This means he is another powerhouse who faked death or is just missing and not dead. This is quite normal. Of all the visualization techniques in the association’s store, you ignored those with pre-constructed models and insisted on visualizing a person whose survival you could not verify.

“That means the visualization target is alive?”

Definitely. People like you who dare to use the nonspecific Will Energy visualization technique to visualize a powerhouse whose survival is uncertain are rare. Those that survive as long as you do are even rarer.

“Then why did my Will Energy suddenly grow by so much?”

That further proves the visualization target is alive. However, he is too powerful, resulting in the visualization model you constructed exploding. However, he is cordial with you, rather extremely amiable with you; he used his Will Energy to protect you from a distance. After the explosion, the pure Will Energy merged with you, so your Will Energy suddenly grew by a significant amount.

“…”

That’s why you should just obediently buy those visualization techniques with pre-constructed models. Why court trouble? The association’s store will not sabotage you.

“…”

Hey, why are you not speaking anymore? You are the one who wants to make a complaint. If there is nothing else, I’ll be leaving.

“My emotions are quite complicated at the moment.” “Complicated” did not do justice to how Chen Heng felt now.

Continue to wallow in your complicated emotions, then. Goodbye.

This time, Chen Heng did not object, as he was in a bad mood.

Ancestor, you are powerful, so powerful you can affect the world. However, you just vanished at the drop of a hat.

It’s one thing if you had died; at least it would mean you were helpless about the situation and not that you did not bother to help your descendants increase their luck despite being alive.

You might as well be dead. At least I would not be feeling such complicated emotions now.

Chen Heng simply did not know how to face this ancestor now.

Should he be happy? After all, that was the powerful Chen Clan ancestor. Should he be upset? After all, that was the powerful Chen Clan ancestor.

Chen Heng did not know what to do.

What should one do when in a bad mood? Naturally, vent his frustration on the foolish chat group members.

------

At the same time as Chen Heng’s mental space exploded, there was a handsome, white-robed youth seated cross-legged in the void outside the world. However, there was nothing under this youth.

There was a twenty-meter-diameter transparent bubble in front of him, containing two figures: one black and one purple.

“This is a visualization technique? It seems like one of my descendants is visualizing me. Looks like my descendants are doing quite well to obtain a visualization technique. I wonder what my Chen Clan has grown to now?” As the youth spoke, he revealed a faint smile, apparently thinking of something happy.

“Damn! Little mutt, wake up! A miracle has happened!” When the bored black figure saw the white-robed youth smile, he quickly slapped the purple-clad figure beside him, rousing the sleeping purple-clad person.

“Screw you! Are you tired of living? Are you looking for a fight? What miracle can happen when we are locked up in this darn place? It’s not like we are getting released. Furthermore, who are you calling a little mutt?”

“It’s really a miracle! The white-clad grim reaper sitting outside actually smiled!”
