Chapter 167


    Moana took the exquisite little box, and yed with it for a while before asking curiously, “What’s in it?”


    Lucy shook her head as she answered, “I don’t know, but Lady Rowan mentioned that you should


    always carry it with you!”


    “Mhm.


    Alright.” Moana nodded.


    After a while, he looked at Lucy, confused as to why she was still peeping at him.


    “Aren’t you going to leave?”


    Lucy was angry from the embarrassment.


    “I’m waiting for you to open the box!”


    Moana smiled faintly, and he thought the little girl was strangely adorable.


    “Rowan asked you to pass this to me, yet you don’t even know what’s inside?” Moana asked.


    “She didn’t tell me anything about the content, so of course I don’t know,” Lucy answered


    straightforwardly.


    “Where’s Rowan?” Moana frowned.


    “Lady Rowan, she…” Lucy’s radiating expression suddenly turned gloomy, “She’s sent to the Dark


    Moon Sect early this morning.


    I’ll be heading over to serve herter.


    I can tell that Lady Rowan was ecstatic when she was selected to be their disciple, and she was


    excited.


    But, she’s very reluctant about it now.”


    When Lucy saw Moana silent, she directly kicked him.


    “Hey! Casper, you idiot! Why aren’t you saying anything?!” Lucy yelled angrily.


    “What can I say?” Moana felt Lucy was not making any sense, “It’ s Rowan’s business, so how can I


    chime in?”


    “How can you chime in?” Lucy was so angry she looked like a mother hen, pping her wings in anger,


    “All of this is happening because of you! So, you should make a statement!”


    Moana’s face suddenly sank, and an invisible pressure spread to the surroundings.


    In an instant, Lucy’s eyes shed with fear, and she could not help but swallow the words she was


    about to say.


    “Of course, I know what’s going on,” Moana answered in a hoarse voice, “I’ve made such a huge


    sacrifice, and that‘s why I hope that she won‘t give up on this opportunity.”


    Then, Moana looked at Lucy and shed a smile.


    The oppressive feeling disappeared, and as if the scorching sun appeared, dispelling the haze.


    In a faze, Lucy was even wondering if the terrifying pressure she felt before was just an illusion.


    “Remember to tell Rowan that we’ll surely meet again.”


    Moana smiled and waved at Lucy.


    Next, he turned around and left.


    Then, suddenly, his voice came from afar, saying, “Make sure that she cultivates hard, and don’t let me


    catch up to her realm when that timees.


    By the way, Lucy, the next time we meet, you’ll probably be a big girl.”


    Moana’s words were as if he was saying goodbye.


    As Lucy watched Moana’s figure getting blurrier, she suddenly felt misty-eyed, and she had an urge to


    cry.


    “Idiot, Casper! I’m already a big girl! Humph!” Lucy shouted in the direction where Moana left, and she


    purposely puffed up her chest.


    However, even though she was smiling, her tears kept streaming down her cheeks, and her voice also


    became so soft that only she could hear it.


    “Idiot Casper, Lady Rowan likes you so much.


    You should try your best! I bet you’re unaware that before she left, she said simr things like you did.


    But, Lady Rowan mentioned that she’ll surely meet you again.”


    Moana felt relieved.


    Nheless, he was unsure whether it was because Rowan left for the Dark Moon Sect or because


    Rowan wanted to reject being their disciples for him.


    “What’s going on…” Moana mumbled to himself.


    Before he even noticed, Moana already arrived at his house.


    After making sure that there was no one around, Moana opened the small box.


    It was a delicate red string.


    “Just a string?” Moana picked it up.


    After a closer look, he was sure that it was indeed a red string, and it seemed to be hand-woven.


    Although it was gorgeous, it was just an ordinary cord, and it was not any magic treasure.


    Moreover, it did not appear to be expensive too.


    Then, Moana noticed at the ends of the delicate red string, and there was a buckle and sp made of


    gold, which made it look extremely exquisite.


    “Let me see…” Moana pondered for a moment, “Lucy said I must carry this gift with me at all times.”


    Since Lucy was not aware of the content of the gift, she must have misheard Rowan’s reminder.


    Lucy said to carry it, but Moana understood it as he was supposed to wear it.


    Nheless, it was unsure who misunderstood Rowan’s intention, but after hesitating for a moment,


    Moana still were the delicate red string on his left wrist.


    Moana could not exin it, but Moana felt a strange feeling in his heart after wearing the red string.


    Nevertheless, he did not overthink and directly went into the Time Warp Zone and started training.


    ***


    At the same time, in a luxurious carriage far away from Evergreen Town, Rowan was meditating cross-


    legged.


    She suddenly sensed something, and she lowered her head to look at her slender and fair right wrist.


    There was an identical red string tied on her wrist.


    Looking at the red string, Rowan pursed her lips, and she finally smiled after so many days.


    However, as she smiled, her eyes turned red again.


    ***


    Time flickered, and five days passed in the mortal world, whereas it had been 15 days in the Time


    Warp Zone.


    Moana’s shattered meridians had been reborn.


    The new energy channels were not white as before, but they glimmered with faint gold light.


    Moreover, Moana had a hunch that as he kept perceiving the essence of the world, the color of the


    meridians would slowly settle down, and they would be more solid.


    Since Moana’s meridians were once again condensed, it proved that Moana’s realm was also a steady


    first stage of the Pulse Control Realm.


    N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Nheless, he was only at the entry-level of the first stage.


    The Pulse Control Realm was divided into three stages, and each stage had three levels.


    Entry-level, middle level, and peak.


    There was no problem in dealing with five lower-level cultivators on each level.


    However, there would also be a strangeness in identity.


    A sect’s cultivator would undoubtedly be stronger than an individual cultivator.


    After all, a sect’s disciple would experience more than an individual cultivator.


    Even though Moana ascended to the Pulse Control Realm and achieved the dream of many to be


    a cultivator, he still had a problem.


    He did not have a specific reference, and Moana could not tell how strong he was.


    “Hopefully, the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony can give me a rough estimate of my true ability.”


    Later, Moana continued to train without leaving the ce, and another five days passed by again in the


    mortal world.


    In the 15 days of hard training in the Time Warp Zone, Moana continued to progress with the Demon’s


    Ways to Eternity, and he was another step closer to achieving the Immortal Demon Physique.


    Besides that, he also noticed that he couldpress his meridians as he wished.


    When Moanapressed his energy channels, his realm would appear lower, but his ability would not


    be affected.


    Afterpressing his meridians, others would think he was still a fifth-stage True Martial Realm


    warrior.


    In truth, Moana not only achieved the first stage of the Pulse Control Realm but his strength was not


    affected either.


    Such an art of war was rather insatiable.


    However, as themander of hundreds of thousands of troops before, Moana’ s mind suddenly


    shed with hundreds of vicious methods.


    Time flickered again, and two days were gone.


    There were only ten days left until the Sects‘ Recruitment Ceremony, and Moana nned to visit


    Abraham at the Oceans Chamber of Commerce.
