After the two maidservants left, Luo Chen pushed the door open and entered.
With just one glance, he saw a young boy lying on the window sill, eyes curiously fixed on the outside.
Sunlight bathed his profile, turning it a brilliant gold.
"Lingxi, what are you looking at?"
The boy pointed to the distant line where water met sky.
"The sea!"
Luo Chen walked to the window, smiled, and said, "This isn't the real sea, just a larger lake."
Luo Lingxi said curiously, "But I just heard the maid say that this place is called Ping Mountain Sea."
Luo Chen's tall figure blocked the direct sunlight as he shook his head slightly.
"The real sea stretches as far as the eye can see, a vast expanse of blue. Oh no, there are seas that aren't blue too, black, red, yellow, all are existent."
Luo Lingxi's eyes brimmed with intense curiosity.
"Black seas, red seas, yellow seas, do they really exist?"
"Yes! In the Book Collection Pavilion of the Luo Tian Sect, there's the account I wrote myself, 'North Sea Travels'. It documents a black sea called the Oblivion Sea, a red sea called Coral Sea, a yellow one..." Luo Chen instinctively paused, for the memory of that yellow sea merely being recalled stirred a deep feeling within the soul; best not to speak of it.
He continued, "In that endless ocean, there are Flood Dragons lurking, giant whales stirring waves, and shrimp soldiers, crab generals, schools of fish. It is unlike the place below, the newly born Ping Mountain Sea."
Luo Lingxi listened with eyes sparkling and murmured, "I really want to see it!"
Luo Chen gently ruffled the young boy's hair, "You'll have the chance, as long as this trip goes well, you will have the opportunity to see that vibrant endless ocean yourself."
The North Sea of Luo Chen's experience was filled with battles and bloodshed, cold and harsh.
Yet in such an environment, he obtained a hundred years of freedom and broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, calling it full of vitality is not an exaggeration.
When speaking to children, naturally one focuses on the positives.
"Enough watching, your eyes will hurt if you keep looking, get some rest!"
Luo Lingxi obediently jumped off the chair; before Luo Chen, he was always well-behaved, less lively and wild than when he was with Sima Huiniang.
Standing in front of Luo Chen, Luo Lingxi widened his eyes, as if waiting for something.
Luo Chen smiled, took out a jade vial, and dropped two drops of transparent liquid into the boy's eyes.
"All done, go and rest!"
Luo Lingxi rubbed his eyes, revealing a look of drowsiness, and went to lie down on the bed.
Luo Chen still stood by the window, likewise taking out a jade vial, and dropped two golden drops into his own eyes.
However, unlike the earlier diluted transparent liquid, this time it was two brilliant golden drops.
His tightly closed eyes slowly opened, Luo Chen tried hard to peer into the void, as if wanting to see something.
But sadly, he gained nothing.
Luo Chen sighed, stowing away the bottle containing the Jade Emperor Clear Pupil Liquid.
"Take it slow!"
"To pierce through the void with the naked eye is not something that happens overnight."
"But I believe, as long as I persist, one day I will see through that woman."
In his mind, a figure in azure clothing flashed by.
That was his greatest setback in the same Order since achieving Nascent Soul.
Even if she attacked him at his weakest after a great battle, Luo Chen didn't think he stood much chance even in full strength.
Yet Luo Chen did not get discouraged.
The first meeting, he was captured without feeling anything.
The second meeting, combining everyone's strength and the sharpness of Yuan Tu, he injured her with a single drop of blood.
The third time, he burned her hand, then ceased fight discussing peace.
What about next time?
Perhaps entering the Dark Abyss Sect means no next time, but Luo Chen hopes for that one time.
An equal and fair duel!
Luo Chen looked forward to that day, his eyes gazing toward Mountain Sea shone brightly, seemingly capturing the elusive spirit jumping in the void.
