Chapter 4—Cliché Marriage Contract Divorce.
A wave of energy swept out from Mu Chen's body. A new type of space began to emerge, starting from below him.
The newly formed space has large cracks in between, showing the actual space, which is his room.
From the newly formed space, swords begin to emerge. They stopped after emerging at a certain height. Half of the sword is above the ground, and the other half is piercing the ground.
The new space created by Mu Chen has covered his entire room. And at a glance, there are a hundred kinds of different swords. This is no doubt the domain!
'I finally comprehended Sword Domain.' He smiled as he felt a new kind of senses flooding his mind, he sensed the ants as they walked on a corner of the ground.
He felt the spiritual energy in the air and almost touched everything in his domain, even himself.
He tried to touch the ant on the ground, but due to his lack of control over his power, it was crushed to death.
Mu Chen lost his comprehension bonus and returned back to his original comprehension, but his senses have not yet returned.
He didn't stop domain as he wanted to feel the domain as he luckily entered this state this time, he wanted to remember this feeling, so it would be easy to enter this state next time.
He lost himself in deep meditation feeling the domain due to the after effects of losing all senses.
If one were to lose all the senses one would get crazy and it might even cause trauma to certain people but due to strong Dao Heart he can withstand easily and also train his own Dao Heart with it.
The domain collapsed after almost a minute but due to being in deep meditation he didn't even sense what is going on outside.
-----
After an entire night, Mu Chen opened his eyes, getting out of from his state of deep meditation.
The sun was rising high in the sky, illuminating the entire world.
He stood up, did a warm up, freshened up, wore the new patched robe and washed his remaining other two patched linen clothes along with his father's clothes.
He then took the potion remaining from yesterday's, poured it to the bowl, went to his father's room, helped him to drink. He changed his clothes after helping him brush and take bath.
He then went to the training grounds in the courtyard, which was just 10 square meters.
He cleaned up all the trash from the ground and stood in a horse stance with his thighs bending straight, perfect parallel shape to ground.
He started to punch with his all strength. He generated force from the ground using his legs and then carried to his arms, pushing it forward to punch.
Whoooosh!
As he punched, the sound of gust echoed through the training ground. His hands began to shine with red layer of aura.
Soon fire generated from his hands, covering both his hands.
But Mu Chen kept punching, as if fire didn't exist at all and not harming him.
The atmosphere became hot, even from distance hot temperature can be felt as red burning vapours can be seen.
Straight punch, upper cut, lower cut, left hook, right hook. He kept punching in all variations. Once he stopped, fire vanished.
He took a deep breath and continued to punch again. But this time, instead of fire, lightning emerged on his palms.
Purple lightning swept out from his hands. The cracking sounds of lightning echoed through the area. He repeated all the variations of boxing he did with fire.
-------
Time passed by.
He kept training for the entire morning.
Grr!
Sounds were made by his stomach due to being hungry, which made him stop training.
He cannot go on training while being hungry as training takes up a lot of energy, he is already skinny.
He took out the elixir which was blue in color, a small sized—it was just the size of a pea, just one inch with three goldenstripesrunning across it—Rank 1 low level Essence Elixir, which was his money.
He threw it into his mouth and swallowed it as sweet taste hit his mouth, similar to honey.
'That will do for today.' He patted his flat stomach.
Since he is just an ordinary person with no cultivation, one low level essence elixir is enough for him for a whole day.
He meditated for a few minutes to digest the essence elixir.
He then stood up and practiced kicking this time.
Whoooosh!
Gust swept around as he kicked the air, legs emitted fire for some time and lightning emitted at another time.
Soon time passed by with sun reaching other side, making a beautiful vision.
Mu Chen took a deep breath, enjoying the sunset as he sat cross-legged on the ground to recover.
'Fireheart, lighteninghearttraining is done for today.' He checked the results of the training.
As sunset ended, all his senses returned.
'It's good to hear and feel the touch.' He had a slight smile, feeling the ground beneath him.
He decided to start his new session of training as he solemnly said, "I, Mu Chen..." But he stopped in between as gate bell rang…. Ting, Ting, Ting!
Hearing the sounds, he rushed to the door and opened the gate.
An ordinary looking young man in a patched grey robe stood in front of him, his robe had words 'Mu Servant' embedded on it.
He said with a wicked grin, "Heavenly toilet cleaner, your fiancé has come to the clan, and Mu Patriarch has requested your presence. Come quickly, everyone is waiting for you."
After saying, he then rushed back while still maintaining his grin, not even waiting for Mu Chen's reply, he wanted to get a glimpse of 'Liu Jade Beauty' with his eyes rather than see the crooked face of Mu Chen.
Heavenly toilet cleaner, this name made Mu Chen's eyes twitch.
This name has become quite popular in just one day, due to the severe promotion of Mu Yang and Mu Bai, who had created this name.
'Mu Bai, right?' Mu Chen clenched his fists, remembering who created this name.
He didn't care about mocking and all their actions for his training Dao-heart, but this name is too much, he is not that powerful to carry this name, which has the word heavenly!
He decided to kill him for such impudence!
He took a deep breath to calm his anger. He was covered in sweat. His clothes were sticking to his body, so he freshened up, dressed in a new set of dry clothes after checking the washed clothes, and then he walked out to the Mu family courtyard.
In the meeting room of the Mu family courtyard, the room was decorated with beautiful furniture, big chandeliers on the ceiling, calligraphy, trinkets, and paintings of the tiger, wolf, and dragon on the wall. The chandeliers illuminated the room.
But the most attractive thing in the room was the white screen, which was rolled up to the ceiling in the middle of room, and is visible to all from around the room. The room had already been arranged with many chairs in order.
Mu Patriarch sat on the patriarch throne, which was placed in front of the wall of the room. All the Mu elders sat next to the patriarch.
With three on the left side of the patriarch and three on the right side in chairs, which were a little low from the patriarch's throne, showing their status.
While ordinary members sat on the available chairs filling the room, In the entire room there were more than 500 people at a glance.
Three chairs were placed in front of the patriarch, on which three members sat. The chairs were combatable as soft pillows were attached on the chair.
In the middle was the girl who seemed to around sixteen years with white porcelain skin, slender figure with a cute baby face, long jet black hair with ample curves in front and back, long slender legs—a typical Jade beauty.
She was dressed in a green silk brocade robe, which had golden edges, and it was embroidered with a symbol of flowers, and a golden sword on the chest. The flowers enhanced her beauty.
Golden sword had her status and name embroidered in it—True Disciple-Liu Ying.
Next to Liu Ying's left was a middle-aged person in muscular build with neatly tied long black hair, who wore a silk red robe which had mountain patterns with gold edges.
His red robe also had a golden sword embroidered on its chest. And on it, his name was written—Grand Elder-Le Yang. The elder had a cold temperament.
He had arrogant look on his face/ His face was almost 45 degrees facing ceiling, glancing everyone in the room like ruler.
On the other side, right of the Liu Ying, was a young man who was looking around 18 years old handsome man with sharp, straight nose, soft black eyes, and long hair tied with a male hairpin in a brocade purple robe with purple jade belt on waist.
Everyone in the room was glancing at each other, feeling the tense atmosphere.
"She is very beautiful, right?" Someone whispered, breaking the silence, everyone began chit-chatting.
"Of course, she will be beautiful after all, she is one of the SevenButterflies in Xi City."
"I just want to marry her, even if I were to become crippled."
"Look at your face, heaven would fall if she were to smile at you."
"Why you!!"
"…."
"…"
"How could Heavenly toilet cleaner have the marriage contract with her? Lucky trash."
"Yeah! He should know his place and break up with her."
"…."
"…"
"Hey! Isn't that Zhen Jie—cruel SkinRipper, I heard he likes to rip skin apart."
"Yeah! He is the most dangerous one in this room."
"I heard that he doesn't sleep without killing five people a day!"
"…."
"…"
"He is the grand elder of the holy sword sect; he looks so stern."
"Let's hope that Mu Clan doesn't get on his bad side."
"He killed an entire clan of more than 10,000, just because they failed to serve him a good tea."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"Those two guys are they powerful? Handsome young guy, and the man with a face or neck problem," Someone asked, not understanding why everyone is so afraid of them.
"Idiot! You don't know who they are?"
"Yeah! Who are they? I just know the lady is one of seven beautiful women from Xi City, hence seven butterflies."
"Tch! You should read, they are from the holy sword sect, which is on almost par with Chu dynasty, one of the strongest powers on WesternChuContinent."
"Holy Sword Sect! I didn't know that Liu Ying joined that sect?"
"Joined? She is the niece of the holy sword sect master."
"…"
".."
Everyone was chit-chatting soon the room was filled with noise.
"Sorry for troubling you like this, patriarch Mu," Liu Yang said in her crisp voice, breaking the noise in the room, looking worried about something.
Everyone turned silent, knowing that this is an important discussion.
Mu patriarch solemnly asked, "Are you here for cancelling the marriage contract?" He was no idiot after running the clan for so many years. He understood the purpose of them coming to Mu clan.
"Liu Ying is already a Rank 1 Energy cultivator and she is considered one of the brightest geniuses in entire Western Chu Continent."
"No way she would be willing to marry a trash like Mu Chen."
"Mu Chen? It's heavenly toilet cleaner." Everyone turned noisy up hearing Mu Patriarch's question.
Before Liu Ying could even reply, the Zhen Jie on the side arrogantly replied with a cruel grin, "Silence insects!!!" Dismissing the noise, and continued, "Yes, it's for dismissing the marriage contract."
Hearing his words, Mu patriarch became silent and understood that their clan was going to get humiliated.
In the cultivation world, the face is very important. It's not about men or women, it's about face.
If someone breaks away from a marriage contract, it only means that they are weak!
Even if one is trash, due to the power behind them, the other party would have to marry, so a marriage contract break meant that they bent their knees!
Mu clan couldn't fight against the Holy Sword sect; it is very powerful!
'How to not lose Mu Clan's face, while not making holy sword sect angry?' Mu Patriarch was musing about the situation and get the best of both.
"Finally! Mu Chen should understand where he stands."
"I can finally try to get her attention and maybe…maybe marry her one day."
"…"
"…"
Many members of the Mu clan were getting thrilled that Mu Chen would get his marriage contract broken, and they believed that he shouldn't get what they failed to have.
But many Mu members weren't as clever as the Mu patriarch and the elders. While they were laughing at Mu Chen, the intelligent, witty members of the Mu clan were wondering how they would show their faces in public.
Everyone would laugh at not just Mu Chen but the entire Mu clan.
