Chapter 161 - 161: 146: The Past and the Heavenly Person Cells

Huh?
Chen Sheng raised his eyebrow.
“What do you mean by ‘only half a Heavenly Person’?”
He asked, looking at the empty ground beside him.
Unlike Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng doesn’t have the ability to become invisible. Sitting on the ground, talking to the air beside him, makes him look like a madman.
Especially with his current one point nine meters tall, muscular body.
For a moment.
All the pedestrians showed horror on their faces, hastily avoiding his path.
A vacuum zone formed within a three-meter radius around Chen Sheng.
After asking his question.
Chen Sheng did not get an immediate response from Shen Ziming.
Moreover, the Water Spirit told him that Shen Ziming was asking him to leave this place. “Where to?”
“Just come along.”
Then the two of them left together.
As they progressed, the crowd gradually thinned out.
Chen Sheng saw an outline of a person slowly appearing in the air next to him.
Just like a veil gradually being lifted.
Soon,
Shen Ziming’s figure appeared before Chen Sheng.
Although he already knew that Shen Ziming had the ability to become invisible, seeing it with his own eyes,
Chen Sheng still showed a hint of surprise on his face.
At this moment,
They were by the side of a lake in a park.
At high noon, with the sun directly overhead.
There weren’t many people strolling around the park.
Shen Ziming invited Chen Sheng to sit on the grass.
“As to why I said that I am only half a Heavenly Person, I have to start from the beginning.”
When Chen Sheng sat down, he looked at the calm lake and started to speak in a soft voice.
The gaze of Shen Ziming gradually became absorbed in his memories.
Then,
He began to talk about his past.
“I’ve been pursuing the matter of my family’s genetic disease since a long time ago…”
Shen Ziming was born into a literary family.
His mother was a professor in the History Department of a university.
His father was an ordinary rural teacher.
Although Shen Ziming never met any relatives other than his parents from childhood to adulthood.
But his mother was well-educated, and his father was calm and steady.
Their only hope for Shen Ziming was that he could grow up happily without any worries.
Apart from this, they never put any extra pressure on him.
Therefore,
Shen Ziming had a very happy childhood.
Unfortunately,
According to Shen Ziming, his mother always seemed to need to take medicine as far as he could remember.
She took a lot of medicine.
Every time she spoke, it seemed soft and weak, as if she would run out of breath after saying a few words.
As Shen Ziming grew older, his mother’s condition became more and more serious.
Finally,
When Shen Ziming was twelve years old.
His mother, who had been bedridden for half a year, never woke up again after sleeping one night.
After that,
Shen Ziming’s father resigned from his job.
In the following years, his father took Shen Ziming around, seeking famous doctors and visiting all the big city hospitals.
The disease of Shen Ziming’s mother was a genetic disease.
All the people in her family died of the genetic disease.
The reason why Shen’s father took Shen Ziming around was to try to save his own son.
Unfortunately,
Shen’s father didn’t succeed.
When Shen Ziming was eighteen, he had an accident.
Also, starting from that year,
Shen Ziming gradually felt that something was wrong with his body.
He often felt weak and had a fever every few days. When it was severe, he would faint directly.
Until the tide rising period came, he had become so weak that he could hardly walk out of his house.
He could only stay in the rented house all day, living on drugs, with all three meals delivered by takeout.
Shen Ziming thought that his final fate was to die in the rented house until his body was found.
But during that time.
The tide rising period started.
One early morning when Shen Ziming got up, he suddenly found that his body condition had improved a lot.
He, who had struggled to walk the day before, could run and jump, and there seemed to be no weakness.
And in the following few days, his body became stronger day by day.
Shen Ziming was overjoyed.
He thought this was a blessing from heaven, giving him another chance to live.
Unfortunately,
The good times didn’t last long.
One month after becoming a Qi-sensor, Shen Ziming was horrified to find.
The symptoms of the genetic disease appeared on him again.
Although very slight, but indeed it was, and it became more obvious as time went by.
So,
Before the genetic disease deteriorated to affect his movements,
Shen Ziming decided to use his superman-like physique to find a cure for his family’s genetic disease.
Along the way, he met people from the Holy Sect.
They claimed they could solve Shen Ziming’s genetic disease, but he needed to work for the Holy Sect.
Initially, Shen Ziming did not believe it.
Until the other person presented a broken stone the size of a grain of rice.
“A broken stone?”
“What kind of broken stone?”
Hearing this,
Chen Sheng seemed to think of something, with a contemplative expression.
“This kind of stone, the people of the Holy Sect call it a Qi Consolidation Stone.”
“So far, it has only been found in the Heavenly Person Seal Land, and it is extremely rare.”
“It looks like a stone, in all kinds of shapes.”
“But without exception, these stones have different colors of flowing light on their surfaces, such as azure, emerald green, and so on.” Sure enough.
Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng’s gaze immediately congealed.
He had seen this kind of stone before.
During the two days he worked as a coach at the Wu’an Bureau, he had seen it on Xu Rou who was in Wu’an Bureau.
It was a rattan wood pendant, inside which was enshrined the Qi Consolidation Stone mentioned by Shen Ziming.
Chen Sheng also got the Eye of True View through it, and gained the ability to check other people’s attribute panels.
He had also asked Xu Rou on WeChat, where did she got that pendant from. The answer Xu Rou gave was, the flea market.
Knowing that Chen Sheng seemed to need similar things, the little girl had been to the flea market several times during this period. Unfortunately, she never found a similar pendant again.
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng’s mind started to become more active again.
If it is said, that the breathing techniques contained in the Seal Lands alone, are not attractive enough for him.
But now, with the addition of the Qi Consolidation Stone….
“So, you need to find the Qi Consolidation Stone to treat your familial genetic disease?”
Thinking of this,
Chen Sheng asked again.
“Yes.”
Shen Ziming nodded.
“I need the Qi Consolidation Stone to kill that part of me that belongs to the Heavenly Person.”
Having said this.
Shen Ziming stretched out his hand towards the sun above their heads.
Under the sunlight.
Chen Sheng could clearly see, there were faint luminous spots flashing in his palm.
Immediately,
Shen Ziming’s palm simply disappeared from view.
“After joining the Yihe Gate, with the help of my master, and using the most advanced technology today, my body was thoroughly examined.” “Finally, the secret of the cells in my body was successfully discovered.” “In my body, there is a group of cells similar to cancer cells.”
“They continue to multiply, difficult to kill, and continue to consume the normal cells in my body.”
“As these cells continue to multiply and consume my body’s normal cells, I gained abilities similar to those of a Heavenly Person.”
“I can see the colorful Qi in the air, and I can even manipulate them, achieving various miraculous feats.”
“But…when these cells grow to a certain extent, my body will completely collapse, and I won’t even be able to sustain my life.”
“Only the Qi Consolidation Stone can effectively kill the Heavenly Person cells inside me and restore me to health.”
Hearing this.
Chen Sheng looked puzzled.
This description.
Why does it sound so much like the second layer of his Profound and True Martial Arts?
But he is in fantastic health, enjoying every meal.
Not at all like Shen Ziming, who looks half-dead.
Chen Sheng does not believe he is a Heavenly Person.
After all, he can only communicate with the Water Spirit and ask for help, instead of controlling it directly.
And this power was gained by practicing Profound and True Martial Arts.
Maybe…this is the secret of how the ancient humans could defeat the Heavenly People?
They obtained abilities similar to those of the Heavenly People by practicing powerful breathing techniques, gathered the power of many, and sealed the Heavenly People.
“Brother Chen?”
As Chen Sheng was lost in thought, a call sounded in his ear. He looked up to see Shen Ziming staring at him very seriously.
“Brother Chen.”
“Since you already know, I won’t hide it anymore.”
“I indeed need to go to the Sealed Land to search for the Qi Consolidation Stone, to kill the Heavenly Person cells in my body.”
“But there are many dangers in the Sealed Land, and Zhao Zhenfeng might also possibly-”
“That’s enough.”
Before Shen Ziming could finish his statement.
He was directly interrupted by Chen Sheng’s waving hand.
“How many Qi Consolidation Stones do you need to kill the Heavenly Person cells in your body?”
Hearing this,
Shen Ziming paused for a moment before speaking again.
“In Kyoto, I have already absorbed a lot of it, a lot of Heavenly Person cells have been eliminated.”
“According to my master’s prediction, I probably need a little bit more.”
“Originally, there were still some Qi Consolidation Stones left in the Martial Arts Association. ”
“But not long ago, these Qi Consolidation Stones were taken away by the official, they seemed to want to conduct some research. That’s why I have to….”
“Understood.”
Chen Sheng nodded his head.
Then he immediately got up and walked away from the park.
“Call me when you are ready to set off.”
Having said that,
Chen Sheng’s figure vanished on the spot.
Such a neat and decisive attitude took Shen Ziming by surprise.
A long while later.
“Thank you.”
Only then did he look in the direction where Chen Sheng had disappeared, muttering softly..
