Chapter 367 - Such a Coincidence? (1/2)

At the same time, Jing Yi stopped cultivating in the secret realm and opened his eyes again. He had taken in a lot of spiritual energy and he could feel that the second stage that he had hurriedly reached on his way to the Hei Dian Sect had finally stabilized.

Ah, this secret realm was really too suitable to cultivate! If he continued like this, reaching the third stage would probably take just as long as reaching the second stage had. In the end, it seemed he was still quite lucky despite the circumstances.

For now, he needed to take a break, though. Even though cultivation could replenish the energy of the body somewhat, he was still only a mortal. Right now, he only felt hungry and tired.

He took a look at the window. It seemed that a day had already gone by. The sky was turning dark again. Yu Jin didn't seem to have come by, so he was probably still busy with the traps he had mentioned. In that case … it shouldn't be a problem if he ate something and went back to sleep, right?

Jing Yi bit his lower lip. Yu Jin had said that he couldn't help him anyway but he still felt like he should do something. Wouldn't it be heartless to just wait and have him do everything?

”Ah, I guess I can only hurry up with my cultivation. When I reach the third stage I might at least not be a burden to him anymore.”

He sighed and took two of the spiritual fruits out of the magical bag Yu Jin had given him. Eating them also had an effect on his spiritual energy so this wasn't too bad. He was only afraid that they might not be enough for the time they'd have to spend here at the palace. After all, who knew how much time that would actually be?

Jing Yi shook his head. This wasn't the time to think about that. He concentrated on eating the fruits and taking in their energy. Everything he could do to raise his level was a good thing. When he managed to attain the third stage all of this wouldn't be important anyway. So, he had to concentrate on cultivation. Before that … he had to sleep for a while though.

Jing Yi lay back down and closed his eyes. His heart couldn't help but thump. Would he once again see something from his past? And if yes, then what would it be? That man? Or maybe his parents again? Somebody else from his family? Previous friends?

Ah, it really was hard to imagine. His past life was quite different from his current one. He didn't want to remember for fear of damaging his current relationship but he still couldn't help but wonder.

What kind of life had his former self led? Why had he allowed others to destroy his relationship if he was so much in love with that man? Why had people objected to it anyway?

Thinking about the bit he had seen it seemed as if they made a fine couple. In his previous life, he had obviously been an immortal with a high status. Shouldn't that be a suitable status to be with a king?
