Qin Chuan was still a little surprised, and after a moment of stunned silence, he gently embraced her.
The woman was very awkward, her body slightly stiff, but she didn't resist, even gently wrapping her arms around Qin Chuan's waist.
Only her arms were a little stiff.
This was the first time she had been so close to a man; even her fiancé had never touched her.
"Thank you!" the woman said softly.
Now she felt relaxed. Before, she had been stiff, her heart instinctively resisting, but her body didn't reject it. But now she found that her heart no longer resisted.
They say that habit and adaptation are the most terrifying things; taking the first step bravely is crucial. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but now she found that she could do it too.
Qin Chuan smiled: "Thank me for what?"
"I know what you're thinking, do you feel sorry for me?" the woman said softly.
"No, it's just that I feel like a lost child." Qin Chuan smiled.
The woman smiled, beautiful, divinely beautiful, ethereal. The shock was overwhelming, leaving Qin Chuan somewhat stunned, his mind blank.
At this point, even if a woman were slightly weaker than Qin Chuan, let alone powerful, she could kill him dozens of times over. So, sometimes a beautiful woman is the most deadly poison—colorless, odorless, and impossible to guard against.
...
A week later, the two left the Divine Sword Dynasty. This time, the woman didn't stay with Qin Chuan but said goodbye.
Qin Chuan knew she would leave, but he didn't expect her to leave so suddenly, not even knowing when she left, only leaving him a letter. "
Qin Chuan, I'm leaving. You are my man, always will be. Remember that.
I'm afraid to say goodbye; I don't like the scene of leaving. Forgive me for leaving in this way.
I know you want to go to the Nine Heavens Land, and I said I would take you there, but only after you reach the Immortal Emperor realm. I left a mark on you; once you break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, you will know how to go to the Nine Heavens Land.
You are the most important person in my life, and that will never change."
Qin Chuan put away the letter, looking into the distance, his face calm, without any sense of loss. He was actually very simple; he just wanted the woman to be happy.
Although Qin Chuan repeatedly claimed to believe in fate, he actually believed in cause and effect. He
had been at the half-step Immortal Emperor level for a long time, but still hadn't found the opportunity to break through, and didn't know when he would finally achieve that.
But today, Qin Chuan received news: the Divine Sword Secret Realm had opened.
This opening was very sudden, because the opening time of the Divine Sword Secret Realm wasn't fixed, but rather a range.
It opened once every hundred years, and previously, it was only known that it would open within these three months, possibly on any day within those three months.
Today was only the first day of these three months, and unexpectedly, it opened, lasting for three months.
The opening time of the Divine Sword Secret Realm determined its duration; if it opened today, it would last three months; if it opened a month later, it would last one less month.
If it opened on the last day of the third month, it would only last one day.
Therefore, today's opening shocked the Divine Sword Dynasty, and countless people flocked to Divine Sword Mountain, and the news was spreading rapidly.
A massive number of people were also arriving from all directions, after all, three months was enough time to search thoroughly, perhaps finding an opportunity that would change their lives.
Opportunities are hard to come by, but one must seize them. If one doesn't strive for them because they seem unlikely, one will never encounter them.
Qin Chuan thought about how the woman had left; otherwise, it would have been better to go in with her.
He had heard that the Divine Sword Secret Realm was about to open when she was there, but she still chose to leave.
Life offers many choices; either she had something important to do, or the Divine Sword Secret Realm held no appeal for her.
Regardless, Qin Chuan was determined to go now. Whether he would encounter an opportunity was uncertain; with the Golden Divine Eye and the Treasure-Seeking Beast, he was bound to encounter one, it was just a matter of degree.
Since it was open, Qin Chuan planned to head over, since he didn't know anyone here.
Divine Sword Mountain was located in the heart of the Divine Sword Dynasty, which was definitely its territory. This secret realm could be considered the private property of the Divine Sword Dynasty.
However, secret realms are special; the more powerful the entity, the easier it is to attract people. Unless one has absolute strength, it's best to share the secret realm.
In many places, there's an unwritten rule: secret realms don't restrict who can enter; anyone can enter.
Because the secret realm is perilous, although it offers opportunities, it is also extremely dangerous. It's not that fewer people going guarantees success; in fact, fewer people going might be more dangerous.
Therefore, the more people in the secret realm, the better. As for the claim that more people going lowers the probability of obtaining opportunities, that's not true. Opportunity depends on fate.
The inexplicable good is fate.
Divine Sword Mountain!
Majestic and towering, with towering peaks and lush greenery, radiating boundless vitality, countless people have already arrived.
The gate to the Divine Sword Secret Realm has opened, many have already entered, but many more haven't, and even more are rushing here.
Some are observing, not afraid to enter, but hesitant. What are they hesitating about? Qin Chuan doesn't know, as there are many possible answers
. Perhaps they have wives and children at home, wondering if they can return, or perhaps their enemies have entered, and they wonder if they should go in too.
Life is full of entanglements, and often one cannot be carefree, going wherever one pleases. Seeking opportunities, the greatest danger accompanies them; the greater the opportunity, the greater the danger—this is an immutable law.
Therefore, opportunity favors the prepared, and this preparation includes strength, arguably the most important aspect.
Qin Chuan's Golden Divine Eyes are also a manifestation of strength.
Luck is another element, and luck is also a form of strength. For example, Qin Chuan encountered a treasure beast, tamed it, and can now use it to search for treasure.
Encountering a treasure beast is luck, taming it is strength.
Qin Chuan entered the entrance to the Divine Sword Secret Realm, surrounded by people. He followed the crowd inside.
The sun shone brightly, and everything was thriving. It was a vast valley, surrounded by mountains on all sides, but each direction had an entrance.
This valley was relatively safe, but if a battle broke out here, it wouldn't be safe.
However, some dangers of the Divine Sword Secret Realm wouldn't reach here.
"Senior Brother!"
Qin Chuan turned his head and saw his junior brother, Long Yuanchong, not far away, looking at him calmly and composedly, which surprised Qin Chuan.
He really didn't expect Long Yuanchong to appear, but considering that this was the Divine Sword Secret Realm, it wasn't surprising that Long Yuanchong came here.
