Father, it fully understood such a basic concept.
In truth, Chen Chang Sheng also understood, the possibility of success was next to impossible; within the Three Thousand Scriptures of The Way, there wasn’t a single record of previous success.
But he had to commit to this, because the Grand Examination was imminent.
He had to obtain the first position upon the First Banner, only with this, could he enter the Ling Yan (Ascending Mist) Pavilion and meditate for an entire night.
Only with this, did he have the chance of touching upon a fate changing opportunity.
Only with this, did he have the possibility of living past 20 years.
Without this, there wasn’t much difference between 20 years and 15 years.
That’s correct, as he was going through his methodical and dull cultivation practice, he had already reached 15 years of age.
Subtracting 15 years from 20, left him with 5 years.
Subtracting 20 years from 500, would still be close to 500 years.
He wanted to bet 5 years for 500.
He really wanted to live for another 500 years.
Seeing the expression on Chen Chang Sheng’s face, the Black Dragon knew that he was serious.
The Black Dragon’s gaze gradually became stern, it planned upon stopping him.
If you were to die, who would talk to me, who would help me complete that task?
Chen Chang Sheng didn’t let out a single word, and only looked at the Black Dragon; it knew it couldn’t stop him.
The Black Dragon’s expression became slightly inflamed.
Chen Chang Sheng removed the short sword from his waist and while looking at it, he said: “If I were to die…”
The Black Dragon took one look at the short sword and immediately composed itself.
Chen Chang Sheng considered for a moment, then said: “Forget it, death is death, leaving behind last words won’t serve any real purpose.”
The Black Dragon’s stern gaze gradually changed to calm, and finally, respect.
Any life that could calmly face and challenge death was worthy of respect.
Be they dragon, demon, yao or human; or even just a sparrow.
It remembered its Royal Father telling it those words.
Due to respect, it no longer tried to stop Chen Chang Sheng, its dragon whiskers fluttered, lightly touching him upon the brow before returning.
Chen Chang Sheng sat down and picked up the ox tongue he had reminded the Black Dragon to leave for him.
At the age of ten, upon knowing he wouldn’t live past twenty, he had stopped eating unhealthy, yet delicious foods such as ox tongue.
He began to eat, seriously savouring each part with a look of satisfaction on his face.
After eating the ox tongue and drinking some water, he dusted off some snow that was on him, wiped his hands clean, and rubbed his face to raise his concentration.
Having completed all preparations, he closed his eyes and began his introspective meditation.
