7 Chapter 7

"What do you want for this?", Long Chen asked with shining eyes. Seeing this, Lan Rou smiled and said, "I want you to take care of my children." (She treated Lin Feng as her child)

Hearing this, Long Chen looked into her eyes and said, "What did you say? I couldn't hear it."

Lan Rou deadpanned at Long Chen and again said seriously, "I want you to take care of them."

Now it was Long Chen's turn to deadpan at her as he wanted her to change the deal and said, " You know I am only 14 years old."

Of course, Lan Rou shrugged it off as she knew he was joking and then looked at him seriously. Seeing her serious eyes, Long Chen sighs.

"Let's go and talk outside, also bring Lan Xi and Lin Feng with you. They should also know about this as it relates to their future. I don't want you to become an unfortunate who leaves her children with an unfortunate condition and decision." said Long Chen as he walked out and sat on the chair.

While Lan Rou wanted to argue and didn't want to tell the children but looking at his face, she realized that he wanted them to appear as if he was serious about the talk. She grumbled and then left to look for them.

Meanwhile, Long Chen wondered how no one in the story found out about these books and maybe they would really have died if he didn't appear at that place.

He was once again reminded about the cruelty of the world and how it wasn't a story anymore. Thinking of this, he decided to not care about the story and didn't want to think of everything as it was troublesome. He now won't worry if there will be any changes or how will the butterfly effect act. He decided to forget about Yun Che, Xia Qingue, Jasmine, Qianye Yinger, Ancestral Goddes, and others and amidst this, he received enlightenment. As if the shackles on his body broke, he now felt calm and free and his cultivation rose from the 6th Level of True Profound Realm to the 1st Level of Spirit Profound Realm. There was still a bit of energy left which started to strengthen his skin, muscle, body, and marrow. His physique became stronger and now he could open the 3rd gate.

While this was happening, his sword flew out of his waist and landed on his hand. With a slight hum, a domain appeared at the place where he was. Even though it was only 5 meters in radius, for now, it was more than enough for him to kill cultivators at Earth Profound Realm in his domain. The restriction he had kept on the sword also disappeared as now he didn't have to kill anyone when he unsheathes his sword and now could use it in matches. His domain's name was 'Ten Stars Domain' signifying the ten gates he had in the body. In each of the gates, he could now absorb star energy with the help of the domain and now he had 10 more danitans but only if he uses them.

To use the 10 gates, he would first have to fill the energy enough energy in one part of all the gates, and after filling the energy in one part of the eight parts each gate had, he would be able to increase his realm by 1 level. After filling the second part of all 10 gates, he will be able to increase his cultivation by 2 levels but for the fourth and eighth parts he will have to fill thrice the energy instead he will be able to increase his cultivation by 2 levels at both the parts. After filling all the levels, he will be able to increase his cultivation by 1 Greater realm.

He has been thinking if he should shift his gates or not but thinking about star energy that can only be absorbed actively by using the sword domain and passively it was absorbed only in small amounts. In the end, he decided to accept as star energy not only nourishes his body and makes it stronger passively even though in small quantity, the nourishment will keep all the dirt, slag, etc. away from the body and he won't ever go to through any body cleansing as it will keep his body pure.

After he accepted the energy, he was so surprised that he jumped out at his place. He learned that without even doing anything he will be able to open all of his gates, completely in 5 years, and if he works on them, he could open them in 2 years. He has been thinking how much time it would take to strengthen his body to the point that he would open his tenth gate but now he would only need 5 if not 3 years.

(This all happened easily but it wasn't simple. The star energy was extremely potent and it was on a higher level than Profound Energy and just a little lower than Primordial Energy. It was only because of his trait of extreme adaptability and the amount of pain he had suffered from before that adapted to the pain or he would have continued to suffer every time he absorbed a little of the star energy as his body wasn't strong enough to absorb it without any effect. If he had tried to absorb any star energy in his body instead of gates which were practically non-existent and were like a separate dimension in the space in the body. After combining the gates, he will get an.....)

Thinking of this, he decided to use his sword domain and then a line appeared in his mind,

"With a sword in my hand, I am the Supreme."

He spoke and then a Domain appeared around himself. The domain had ten stars which were only visible to him and they were dim as he hadn't opened any gate now. He decided to check out what he could do in the domain.
