Chapter 503 – The Undercurrent Under the Calm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chen Heng was very much interested in the bloodline of the Oriel family. The main reason was that he found the rapid increase in strength too tempting. If he could understand the changes and principles behind it and make use of it, it would probably be a big boost to Chen Heng himself.

Ifhe could make good use of it and use it on a large scale with others, he could even quickly create a strong team. This was also a great benefit for Chen Heng.

Therefore, Chen Heng spent a lot of effort researching the Oriel family’s bloodline. As for Gunali’s side, Chen Heng also tried experimenting. However, it was just a side effect. His main focus was still on the so-called cursed power.

‘speaking of which, although I cantt solve it, for the time being, the general idea shouldn’t be a problem.’

From the series of experiments he had done so far, although Chen Heng’s current attempt had not succeeded, there was still no problem with the direction.

The thing that he was most afraid of when studying this kind of thing was a problem with the direction. If there was no problem with the direction, then it was only a matter of time for Chen Heng to solve this difficult problem.

Now it was time to wait. Chen Heng was not ina hurry. In any case, from the current situation, he still had a lot of time to waste, so there was no need to rush.

With this thought in mind, Chen Heng’s thoughts flickered, and he quickly arrived at the other side. Without the knowledge of ordinary people, he quickly arrived at the Oriel family’s manor.

Within the manor, the spacious garden was still the same as it was a year ago. There were many flowers and plants growing in it, all flourishing. Of course, after a year, many of the plants had been replaced.

The rotten flowers and plants had been replaced, and the new flowers were in full bloom. At this moment, they were emitting a faint floral fragrance. At first glance, it looked exceptionally beautiful.

In this manor that belonged solely to the Oriel family, the only thing that would not change was perhaps the Golden Dragon Tree in the center. Chen Heng slowly walked over and raised his head to look at the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him.

After a year, the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him did not seem to have changed much. It was still the same as before. However, it still appeared somewhat dispirited, as if it had been affected by something.

And inside the Golden Dragon Tree, two bodies had already completed their development.

Red was still sleeping inside the Golden Dragon Tree. It was quietly absorbing the power of the Golden Dragon Tree to recover its own body, along with the natural power of the outside world, to recover its power.

As for Chen Heng’s body, it was still in the process of developing. The reason why it was like this was because it lacked the control of its consciousness, resulting in the body’s growth speed being unable to compare with Red’s.

However, at this level, it was actually about the same. Most of the body’s tissues had already developed, and even its strength had recovered to a certain degree.

If Chen Heng was willing, he could fuse with this body at this moment and regain control of his body. Chen Heng stood on the spot and pondered for a moment before finally giving up.

There was no need for that. At this moment, Chen Heng’s main focus was still on research. As for the body, it was a good idea to keep it in the Golden Dragon Tree’s body. He could use the power of the Golden Dragon Tree to recover and even directly reach the peak.

At that time, Chen Heng would be able to merge with the body and become one with it. It would be much more convenient, and he would be able to recover his peak power in the shortest amount of time.

As for his true spirit, he could still maintain his current state. For Chen Heng, even if he didn’t have a body, he could still use the nameless refinement method to temper his body and his own strength.

With this, the Golden Dragon Tree would nurture a body and strengthen his body. The nameless refinement method would temper his true spirit and strengthen his spirit and origin.

‘When the two merged, it would be the time for Chen Heng’s strength to truly condense. However, if that were the case, then the problem with the Golden Dragon Tree would have to be solved.

The life force contained in the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him was indeed huge. To a certain extent, it could be considered the best hotbed. To the current Chen Heng, it could be considered the most suitable place to nurture his body.

However, even so, there were still some problems. After all, there were a total of two Fifth Rank cultivators currently being nurtured within the Golden Dragon Tree.

As Chen Heng and Red’s bodies grew stronger, they would instinctively absorb the energy from the outside world, as well as the life force of the Golden Dragon Tree itself, to provide for their own growth and strength.

Within a short period of time, there might not be any problems. However, as time passed, even if the Golden Dragon Tree had an immense life force, there would be problems sooner or later. Perhaps, in the end, it might even be sucked to death.

This was not impossible. For the current Chen Heng, this Golden Dragon Tree was a very important hotbed. If it was accidentally destroyed, who knows how long it would take to find another one.

Moreover, it was not easy to explain to Malikado’s side. Therefore, at this moment, Chen Heng was prepared to make a move on the Golden Dragon Tree and apply fertilizer to strengthen it.

As for the fertilizer, it was easy to find. Chen Heng took out something from his pocket. It was some blood-colored crystals. They looked scarlet as if they were condensed from the essence of blood. They were unique.

The crystals condensed from the killing power were also scarlet. However, compared to the crystals condensed from the killing power, the crystals in front of him were much rarer and had a strange beauty.

There seemed to be blood flowing within it, flowing spontaneously. It looked very special. This was one of the results of Chen Heng’s research on the bloodline of the Oriel family.

Before this, Chen Heng had discovered that the bodies of the Oriel family members after the mutation were all made of high-quality materials. Although these people might have been ordinary people before the mutation, they transformed after their mutation.

Before this, Chen Heng was pleasantly surprised to find that after the mutation, flesh and blood of the Oriel family member had also undergone a huge change.

After the mutation, their bones could be used to make medicine, and their flesh and blood contained a powerful life force. They were all good materials. These were all good things.

Therefore, Chen Heng used these things to make a lot of good things. The crimson crystal in front of him was one of them. This thing was made from the flesh and blood essence of the Oriel family member after their mutation.

It was combined with the killing power that was purified by Chen Heng to form a crystal. It contained powerful strength and a pure life force. It was perfect for replenishing the power of the Golden Dragon Tree.

Chen Heng spread the crimson crystal in his hand and to the bottom of the Golden Dragon Tree in front of him. Under his control, the Crimson Crystal began to fade and gradually merged into the Golden Dragon Tree’s body.

Ina short period of time, the Golden Dragon Tree did not seem to have changed much. However, Chen Heng could feel that the power in the Golden Dragon Tree’s body was growing. It suddenly expanded and had many changes.

“It seems to be not bad…”

Sensing the changes in the Golden Dragon Tree’s body, Chen Heng nodded in understanding. He was quite satisfied with this result.

Just as he had expected, the crimson crystal that had been strengthened by the killing power could indeed greatly increase the vitality of living beings. It was the most suitable fertilizer to replenish the Golden Dragon Tree’s vitality.

With the replenishment of this kind of power, the Golden Dragon Tree would probably be able to last longer. This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and then he wanted to walk to the side.

He originally wanted to retum to his laboratory and continue to be busy, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but stop. Chen Heng sensed that an invisible aura was emerging from the depths of the manor.

“This aura…”

Chen Heng turned around and looked in the direction he sensed and couldn’t help but frown. Then, in the next moment, his figure quickly disappeared, directly vanishing from this place.

In another place.

In the Quiet Room, Gunali’s figure appeared. In the room, she was sitting in front of the bed, tirelessly piecing together blocks. She looked very bored.

However, when Chen Heng appeared, she seemed to have sensed something. She immediately sensed it and raised her head in surprise. “My big friend!

“Did you come to see me?”

She looked around in surprise and in the direction of Chen Heng, At this moment, she looked very happy. Chen Heng wasn’t surprised at all by Gunali’s keen senses.

A year had passed. Not only did Gunali’s special ability not gradually decline with the passage of time, but it also grew stronger as her body grew stronger. In the past, if Gunali hadn’t been focused enough and had been careless, she wouldn’t have been able to find Chen Heng.

But now, no matter when, even if she was in a deep sleep, Gunali would immediately sense Chen Heng’s presence. Chen Heng had gotten used to this.

Chen Heng stood and looked at Gunali. A spiritual ripple slowly spread out, reaching Gunali’s body.

“Is there anyone else? I don’t think so.”

Sensing Chen Heng’s meaning, Gunali shook her head. However, she seemed to hesitate and became a little uncertain. “But just now, I seemed to have sensed a malicious intent…”

“That intent soon disappeared…”

The little girl thought carefully for a moment and then said.

‘There really is a malicious intent?

Listening to Gunali’s words, this thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

In front of the Golden Dragon Tree, Chen Heng felt an unusual aura. There seemed to be a hint of malicious intent in it, making people unable to help but notice it.

And the source of that strange aura seemed to be in the vicinity of Gunali. Therefore, Chen Heng did not hesitate and immediately rushed over. However, from the looks of it, Chen Heng was not the only one who felt that flash of malice just now. It was the same for Gunali.

However, to the little girl in front of her, she clearly did not care too much about that flash of malice just now, so she directly ignored it. After all, Gunali was born with the ability to sense good and evil.

In her usual life, some malicious intent was only the most common situation, so it was not surprising at all. Perhaps it was because of this that she did not mind.

However, Chen Heng obviously would not be like this. That wave of aura that flashed past just now was definitely not ordinary. It carried a strange power that made even Chen Heng frown.

Under such circumstances, it was unlikely that it was just the malice of an ordinary person. Standing where he was, various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind. He frowned.

Someone who would have evil thoughts towards Gunali and was not an ordinary person, who could be the person behind this?

Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he pondered in his heart. Soon after, a target was quickly suspected by Chen Heng.

Red Lotus Society.

The so-called Red Lotus Society was the organization that had previously contacted Malikado. At that time, the curse on Malikado was about to erupt and could no longer be suppressed.

At that time, it was this so-called Red Lotus Society that appeared and tried to contact Melecto in an attempt to cooperate. The other party claimed that they could solve Malikado’s problem, but the price was that Malikado had to offer his daughter.

Subsequently, because of Chen Heng’s intervention, the problem with Malikado had already been solved by Chen Heng, After that, the so-called Red Lotus Society did not take the initiative to contact Malikado.

However, Chen Heng did not believe that the other party had given up. Now that Gunali was suspected of being targeted, Chen Heng’s first suspect was this organization.

Of course, he couldn’t be sure yet. It could only be said that there was enough suspicion. If he wanted to confirm it, he needed more time. However, this was enough to make Chen Heng pay attention.

“It seems that I have to extend my stay with Gunali..”

Chen Heng looked at Gunali, who looked confused as if she didn’t understand what had happened. At this moment, this thought flashed through his mind.

In the past year, because he had reached a partnership with Malikado, there were enough things that needed to be done. Chen Heng did not stay by Gunali’s side often. Instead, he left the manor and stayed in the laboratory for a long time.

This was also to facilitate Chen Heng’s research. However, from the current situation, it seemed that he needed to pay more attention to Gunali. Of course, Chen Heng could also inform Malikado about the situation.

Based on how much concern Malikado was for Gunali, as long as he knew that someone was targeting Gunali, he would definitely be very nervous. However, this would also expose the fact that Chen Heng was also paying attention to Gunali.

At that time, it might cause Malikado to be vigilant and cause some new trouble. Moreover, Chen Heng seriously suspected that with Malikado’s strength, even if he was vigilant, he would not be able to do anything.

After all, up until now, although he had improved with Chen Heng’s help, even now, Malikado had not broken his boundary to advance to the Fourth rank. In Chen Heng’s eyes, Malikado’s strength was extremely weak, and he could not do anything.

Not only he might not be able to do anything at that time, but he might even alert the enemy. Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn’t help but shake his head. He gave up on the idea of notifying Malikado.

Chen Heng looked ahead. On the spacious and sturdy table, the piece of bone he had previously stayed on was still there. Under the sunlight, it was crystal clear and beautiful.

With a thought from Chen Heng, the bone fragment automatically flew into Chen Heng’s hand and was handed over to Gunali.

“Remember to bring this with you.”

Looking at Gunali in front of him, Chen Heng said softly, “It might be a little dangerous recently.’

For Chen Heng to stay by Gunali’s side and act as her bodyguard was unlikely and unrealistic, Chen Heng still had a lot of things to do. Not only did he have to work hard to improve his own strength, but he also had to do all sorts of research.

The group of people who had their eyes on Gunali would arrive at any moment. Chen Heng could not keep guarding her. Therefore, he chose to give his bone fragment to Gunali and let her carry it with her.

As a part of Chen Heng’s body, this bone fragment contained a part of Chen Heng’s power, which was also equivalent to a coordinate. As long as Gunali carried this bone fragment with her, Chen Heng would be able to use it to arrive at her location quickly when she needed. He could even use this bone

fragment as a medium to arrive at the first possible moment.

This way, it would be much more convenient. In front of Chen Heng, Gunali listened to Chen Heng’s words. She was a little confused, but in the end, she obediently nodded and chose to listen.

Under Chen Heng’s observation, she carefully placed the broken bone on her body and prepared to carry it with her. After doing all this, Chen Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed in the room with Gunali for a while before leaving.

After leaving this place, Chen Heng returned to his residence, which was the laboratory in the outside world. At this moment, everything in the laboratory was still the same as before, as if nothing had changed.

Chen Heng could see many researchers in long robes walking around inside. They walked up and down from time to time, looking very busy. This laboratory did not seem to be very large, but the things it researched were not few. There were many related projects that required a large number of people to do.

For this reason, in this one year, Chen Heng had used the power of the Oriel family to recruit a large number of people in order to help him deal with some problems.

From the looks of it, the results were quite good. The reason why Chen Heng was able to produce a certain amount of results in such a short period of time was also related to the favorable conditions of this research institute.

Looking at the figures in front of him who were walking in a hurry, Chen Heng stood silently for a while, then he took a step forward and walked forward. The people around Chen Heng did not react to his arrival, as if they did not see him at all.

Chen Heng walked into his laboratory as if there was no one around, then he sat down and continued to deal with his work.

In the following period of time, everything around him was as usual. Nothing seemed to have changed, whether it was Chen Heng or Gunali. It was as if nothing had happened.

But in reality, it was clearly not the case..
