Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1840: Chapter 965: Twenty-Four Jade Heart Swords

Midnight.

Qing Chen sat on the precipice of the green mountains of Whale Island, his legs dangling over the edge, quietly watching the night sky.

Footsteps sounded behind him, then stopped.

Qing Chen turned to see it was Jindai Yunlo, who sat beside him, smiling, ”The last time we talked was also on a rooftop edge, but you always seem to be in a bad mood.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, ”In your impression, what kind of person is Li Yunshou?”

”Nothing distinctive,” Jindai Yunlo smirked, ”The other Family Heads of the Li Family are more noteworthy; he tends to blend into a crowd where you’d barely notice him at first glance.”

Qing Chen nodded, ”That’s right, when I was at the Half-Hill Manor, I often overlooked him. It’s like he had no presence. He doesn’t argue with anyone, hasn’t done anything particularly bold; I only paid attention to him because he’s the father of my disciple Li Ke. Everyone says he holds great prestige in the Li Family, but I often wonder, why does someone like him have such prestige? So much so that when he became the Family Head, no one contested it. Look at the chaos within our Qing’s Family back then.”

”Hmm?” Jindai Yunlo turned his head.

Qing Chen said, ”I now know why everyone respects him.”

”So do I,” Jindai Yunlo.

”Sometimes I regret becoming a Time Traveler,” Qing Chen lamented, ”If I hadn’t become a Time Traveler, maybe I’d still be just an ordinary student, life might be successful or not, but certainly wouldn’t have so many sorrows.”

Qing Zhun.

Zhao Mingke, Wang Yuchao.

Li Xiurui.

Li Yunshou.

He Jinqiu...

If life is a vast universe, then these names are the brightest stars in my life.

”Having a good memory is really a bad thing,” Qing Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, ”I can even suddenly recall the look in Li Yunshou’s eyes when he silently watched Li Ke at the Half-Hill Manor. I didn’t think much of it back then, but now I realize how deep that gaze was.”

Jindai Yunlo suddenly said, ”But if you hadn’t met them in your life, wouldn’t you feel regret?”

Qing Chen was taken aback.

Jindai Yunlo smiled and said, ”If your life only had trivial matters, like haggling over the price of cabbage, how would that be any different from living in vain? Later, when you remember someone like Jindai Yunlo, you’ll think, wow, wasn’t he amazing?”

”Stop, stop,” Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh, ”Can you be more serious?”

Jindai Yunlo asked, ”You’re planning to risk your life again, aren’t you? Is that why you’re here alone?”

Qing Chen nodded, ”Yes, I plan to make the West Continent pay in blood. Also, I’ve discovered some trump cards of the West Continent Royal Family that I need to find a way to destroy.”

”Are you confident?” Jindai Yunlo asked.

”Not sure,” Qing Chen shook his head, ”I have to be cautious of the Drama Master.”

Then, Qing Chen coughed violently, as if to cough up his lungs.

Jindai Yunlo seemed to realize, ”You have no choice left.”

”Yes,” Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, ”If I succeed, everything will be fine. If not, I’ll become one with the world and disappear into dust.”

The most crucial part is that even Ren Xiaosu couldn’t clearly explain how he became a god. During Ren Xiaosu’s process, there was injecting agents, assimilating with the world, using the Black Eye of Truth for restraint. Even Ren Xiaosu himself was confused; it was eighty percent luck.

Does Qing Chen have the confidence to become a god? No, not at all.

”Are you going to complete the last two life-and-death trials?” Jindai Yunlo asked.

”Yes.”

”I didn’t see you preparing or training in advance, what are the last two trials?”

”Betting my life.”

”Betting your life?”

Qing Chen laughed and said, ”Compared to the other life-and-death trials, the last two aren’t as tough. You just have to hand your life over to fate.”

Jindai Yunlo stood up, ”Go do what you have to. We have things under control here in the Eastern Continent. I’ve already arrived in the southwest... No matter what, remember you owe me a drink.”

Qing Chen got up and walked down from the green mountain precipice. He arrived at He Jinqiu’s grave and whispered, ”Thank you all.”

It felt like a farewell.

But at this moment, the twenty-four Jade Heart Swords he harbored within him began to hum. Qing Chen was somewhat surprised since ever since he had kept these twenty-four Jade Heart Swords, nourishing them with his blood day and night, they had shown no reaction.

Yet now, as the twenty-four Jade Heart Swords neared Boss He’s gravestone, they resonated!

In the environment surrounding Qing Chen, the space started to tremble, emitting a buzzing sound.

The next moment, the twenty-four Jade Heart Swords appeared to have developed consciousness, streaming out from Qing Chen’s fingertips in a single file, circling in the pitch-black night sky, each piercing into Boss He’s grave in succession!

With a thud, akin to a heartbeat, akin to a drumbeat, the sound came suddenly and departed just as quickly.

As if it had never been there.

Qing Chen was initially stupefied, then burst into hearty laughter and turned away, heading towards the War Fortress.

...

...

Countdown 24:00:00.

Whale Island was once again bustling, as those prospective Time Travelers underwent a brief six-day training, suddenly being summoned by the Parent Association Members, divided into groups, and brought into Kunlun’s ’Any Door’ base.

Qing Chen decided not to give them time to grow anymore; this time, facing off directly against the West Continent in Central Royal City, Qing Chen needed extra assistance.

Squad after squad of Time Travelers walked through the five Key of Gate doors, heading to New York, Washington, Winchester, Harrisonburg, and Hagerstown.

When Xiao Qi led the team inside, he smiled and said to everyone: ”Originally, I wanted each of you to undergo more training to adapt to the Inner World’s pace of life, but now the war has fully erupted, and we don’t have time to wait. Rest assured, as long as you listen, there will be no trouble.”

Each prospective Time Traveler walked into their respective cities, some with countdowns suddenly appearing on their arms, bouncing up and down excitedly on the spot.

And some wealthy individuals were utterly dejected due to the countdown appearing on their arms.

Xiao Qi took these people back to Whale Island, quietly waiting for the next time crossing.

Then there were others whose arms showed no signs of any countdown; they looked at those who became Time Travelers, suddenly feeling dejected, as they ultimately weren’t chosen by fate.

The Parent Association sent them back to their respective cities, along with 100,000 US Dollars.

Due to the secret-keeping spell, they couldn’t tell anyone about their visit to the beautiful island, where buildings were like forests, and people could fly through them.

It was rich and beautiful, magical and splendid.

However, for them, all of this was destined to be as fleeting as a dream.

After brief anticipation, there’s a lifetime of yearning.

On Whale Island, Mosley found Xiao Qi: ”I want to talk with your person in charge. I can pay money, I can give half of my assets to him, and I can offer to source many beauties on the dark web for him.”

Xiao Qi asked with a faint smile: ”What do you want in return?”

”I want his protection, I want political status in the Inner World,” Mosley said.

Xiao Qi smiled and shook his head: ”Our boss doesn’t lack any of what you’re offering.”

”I want to meet him; you can’t make decisions for him!” Mosley shouted loudly.

Xiao Qi shook his head again: ”Our boss has already left Whale Island, so you’d better save your energy; your fate is now under my arrangement.”

...

...

At midnight, at Zheng City’s airport, a private jet was parked, waiting for a long time.

Four flight attendants whispered among themselves in the cabin: ”Do you think my lipstick is evenly applied?”

”Am I cakey?”

”Is my hair messed up?”

They were a bit nervous because today the Hu Corporation informed them that a passenger would be boarding to travel to the country of Guatemala near the Caribbean.

It wasn’t actually surprising that a passenger suddenly appeared for boarding, but the issue was, the crew’s passenger was only one, whom they had seen at the international airport at the foot of the Alps.

These crew members were the same ones who had traveled with Qing Chen on a private jet earlier.

After that plane had an accident, they were all quarantined until they were finally released after using the taboo syringe.

Hu’s offered them two choices: the first was to take a severance package of 15 million, enough for an Ordinary Person to live a lifetime.

The other choice was to come aboard a new private jet, continuing to wait for that mysterious passenger who could appear at any moment.

Ordinarily, after experiencing danger, the first reaction is to distance oneself from the industry or place that nearly led to death, especially when there’s now a large sum of money tempting them to leave.

But strangely enough, these crew members unanimously chose to stay.

At this moment, they tidied their emotions, disembarked the steps, stood next to the plane, maintaining their most beautiful smiles, waiting for the forthcoming passenger.

”Do you think we’ll be dragged into some crisis event this time?”

”I don’t know, but thinking about it makes me excited; nothing will happen anyway. If it weren’t for this plane, we wouldn’t get in touch with such magical things in a lifetime.”

”Our secrecy agreement has a confidentiality period of 5 years. After 5 years, when I tell my little brother about this, he will probably look at me with amazement; he even has a poster of that person in his room.”

”Shh, here he comes.”

The next moment, a solitary black car drove over; Qing Chen still wore a white tracksuit, carrying a strange backpack.

After getting out of the car, he looked at the crew members and smiled: ”I have to trouble you again, rest assured, this time the plane won’t crash anymore.”

The crew members suddenly had tense expressions, opening with such a hard hell joke.

Qing Chen boarded the steps, the flight attendant whispered behind him: ”Still no need for food and water?”

”Correct.”
