Chapter 331: Back to hunting
Honestly, what troubled Jian Shen wasn't truly the absence of truly strong opponents and the very slow pace the token was being filled at, instead, what he was feeling was a little trepidation of what was to come in the future.
Until now, since the moment he had picked up the Myriad God Sword, Jian Shen had yet to even once suffer a single defeat.
Sure this was a good thing and no cultivator could ask for a better track record.
However, thinking about what was there in place for him in the future, Jian Shen was forced to think if he should continue cultivating and ascend to the Dao Realm.
Not that Jian Shen no longer wanted to grow stronger, but rather he was.... Scared?
Scared that he would no longer be able to be the same one he was inside the Divine Realm.
In this Realm, Jian Shen despite not having cultivated his middle dantian to the limit, he could use his strength to thoroughly suppress all of his enemies and even possibly set up an empire and rule the entire Divine Realm.
But, Jian Shen knew that the situation would no longer stay the same way in the future once he ascended into the Dao Realm.
Even though there was no guarantee his gut feeling was correct, adding on how both Juewang and Qingyu said that the help they could give him was limited in the Dao Realm, Jian Shen was sure that his journey there would be no walk in a park.
Struggle.... Endless battles... Fighting for resources... Sigh...
Just thinking about needing to do everything which he managed to stay away from until now due to Qingyu providing him everything he needed, Jian Shen could feel his entire body turning weak and reluctant to even move from the spot.
Raising his head and pulling Juewang aside, Jian Shen didn't give her any time to react before slowly raising her and setting her body down on himself.
With her voluptuous breasts pressing against his chest, Jian Shen once again kissed her glistening lips before proceeding to close his eyes while hugging her waist.
As for Juewang, if she was not already sure, she was sure now that Jian Shen was being troubled by his own thoughts.
"Little wifey, would it really be so bad for us to stay here?"
"Huh? In this world?"
"The Divine Realm... "
Not saying anything after she heard those words, Juewang remained silent alongside Jian Shen who was curious to find out what her answer would be.
"You don't mean what you are asking."
"What? I... "
"Don't delude yourself, husband. The Jian Shen I know isn't someone who shies away at the sign of trouble. Even though I admit you are lazy, you aren't the kind who stops moving and settles down."
"Really? Go on."
Rolling her eyes towards Jian Shen who now seemed like he was waiting for her to start praising him, Juewang added, "And if you stay here, what will you do about these beauties that exist there? Are you willing to never be able to see them? Beauties who make the sun and moon seem ordinary in comparison?"
"Sighh... "
Sighing loudly once again since that was what made him have conflicting thoughts, Jian Shen no longer said anything and just enjoyed the warmth coming out of Juewang.
As for the matter regarding him entering the Dao Realm, Jian Shen would've most likely entered it even without Juewang speaking up.
After all, just like she said there was no way he could stay back and feel satisfied with himself even if he became the ruler of the entire Divine Realm.
This was because even though Jian Shen didn't want to admit it, he deep down wanted to experience a life where he had to stand on his own feet without two extremely strong entities guaranteeing his safety at all times.
Who knows, maybe only in that way would Jian Shen by risking his life manage to awaken the true potential he had in the Path of Sword.
At the same time, Jian Shen felt like only after entering the Dao Realm would he be able to prove to others and more importantly to himself that he deserved everything he possessed right now, and it wasn't just to his 'past self' and the luck which came from picking up a sword that allowed him to come this far.
...
It took him a while to finally part with Juewang and get back to his feet, but he did indeed do so before the sunset.
Walking down the mountain on the opposite side of where he climbed it at, Jian Shen soon showed his same carefree smile.
This wasn't just because he managed to get rid of those pent up feelings inside him, but also because in that state where he seemed to have reaffirmed his goals and faith, Jian Shen's Nascent Soul had been split two more time!
Now all he needed to do was fuse Spirit Beasts with his nine split Souls and then he'd be able to use the abilities of those parituckar beasts whenever he felt like it.
And with this only serving to make him believe that he wasn't just lucky and the real deal, Jian Shen resumed hunting the beasts with mere swiftness and efficiently began filling the token at a greater speed.
