Jiang Chen, Im guessing you know how the princess feels about you. Meng Hao walked over from nearby.

She wont be happy if shes with me. She deserves much better. Jiang Chen shook his head. Of course he knew.

Meng Hao admired Jiang Chens methods and swordsmanship, but he had different opinions regarding love.

Jiang Chen relied too much on reason. He could have thought about his plan for the next dozens of years, but wouldnt it be a pity if one never experiences a crazy love when theyre young?

He wanted to persuade Jiang Chen, but he saw him peering into the distance.

If he remembered correctly, that was where the Peak of Ingnue was.

I see.

Meng Hao realized what Jiang Chen meant and gave up on persuading him.

Jiang Chen had completely recovered on the second day of his return to the Natural Law School. To recover, he had consumed all of the monster essences he had harvested in the Realm of Beasts.

After the fight with the Third Prince, his strength didnt improve, since he had had a forty percent enhancement before the fight.

He would have to keep practicing and studying boring and obscure martial arts techniques for a long time once again.

At the same time, something occurred to him.

Thanks to his holy pulse, every time his state enhanced, he would be able to form double the number holy points. When he achieved the peak of the middle stage, he would be able to form twenty-four in one go.

It would make fifty-eight plus the thirty-four he currently had.

And after that, there would be the beginning, the completed and the peak of the late stage. The recovery of his holy pulse would also enable him to form more holy points.

So in the end, he would be able to possess hundreds of holy points.

The Third Prince had been that powerful with only forty-nine. If he ever really had hundreds, his power would be unimaginable, but Jiang Chen soon found a flaw with this plan.

One could only have a limited number of holy points.

It was impossible to increase them unceasingly. After all, the body was only so big.

In average peoples eyes, forty-nine holy points was already the maximum.

It wasnt good enough for Jiang Chen, but for others who could only form two holy points, forty-nine seemed like a target difficult to achieve.

It was a different viewpoint to see the power of holy pulse. What others worried about wasnt a problem at all for those who had the holy pulse.

It was no wonder that the first lady had tried so hard to steal his holy pulse when she learned he had it, but in fact, people could form more than forty-nine holy points.

It was the maximum number for many people, because it was enough to break through to the Reaching Heaven State, and more holy points would simply be unnecessary.

To Jiang Chens knowledge, the Reaching Heaven State could form eighty-one holy points at most.

This number was almost double forty-nine.

In theory, with Jiang Chens current ability, he should have been able to achieve that when he was in the beginning of the late stage, but in fact, this wasnt true.

After forty-nine holy points, it would be increasingly difficult to form more of them.

The principle of holy points explained it. The points were in the meridians all over the body.

The forty-nine holy points were in the Twelve Standard Meridians that were distributed all over the body. Once the forty-nine points were accomplished, one would be able to form limitless holy points.

The other thirty-two holy points that came after the forty-nine are in eight separate meridians.

These eight meridians were very special, so they were called Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

They have nothing to do with ones inner organs, or each other, so practitioners could achieve the Reaching Heaven State without paying any attention to them.

But, if one has formed these thirty-two holy points, they would be undefeatable among Mental Wander States. After achieving the Reaching Heaven State, there would be more wonderful effects.

Jiang Chen had an advantage in forming holy points; of course he wouldnt waste it, so he went to the Transdragon Pool. After his experience in the Realm of Beasts, its effect was even better than before.

This time, no one dared disturb him. With the elders permission, Whitty went into the pool, too, but he flew away after only a few seconds.

Jiang Chen was amused. He recalled his first bath in the Transdragon Pool and found the reaction relatable.

He didnt go back to the Redcloud Peak after the bath. He went to the Peak of Ingnue.

It was a beautiful peak, as beautiful as the female disciples living there.

The Peak of Ingnue didnt welcome any visitors, since there were only female disciples living there. It was deployed with two tactical formations.

The first one was to prevent others holy awareness.

The second was for defense.

In Jiang Chens eyes, these two tactical formations were easy to crack, but he wasnt there to pick a fight, so he landed outside of the door in accordance with the rules.

A bell was hanging under an archway. Beside it was a small iron hammer used to ring the bell.

Jiang Chen rang it. A female disciple soon came to the archway. She was pretty, about twenty years old.

How can I help you?

She didnt look happy with the unexpected disturbance, but she covered it well.

Im Jiang Chen. I heard that Apprentice Sister Li has been cursed. How is she now? Jiang Chen said.

Youre too late. Many people came to visit Apprentice Sister Li when the spell was first put on her. There was a very long line, but now, apprentice sister has banished the devil inside her and achieved the Reaching Heaven State, the female disciple said with pride.

She has gotten rid of the devil inside?

Jiang Chen was in a daze. He was heartbroken. This meant that Li Xueer had mastered the Icy Heart Formula and her heart would be as cold as ice from then on. She wouldnt have any unnecessary feelings anymore.

Jiang Chen didnt think the spark between his apprentice sister and him could conquer the spell of the Icy Heart Formula.

It wasnt because he thought lowly of himself. He was too smart and too tough to deceive himself.

He knew what the Icy Heart Formula was. He could still remember what had happened to its practitioners in the Sacred Zone.

One woman had practiced the Icy Heart Formula to become stronger. She became a powerful person, but refused to have anything to do with any kin or friends.

She wouldnt lend a hand when her family was facing life and death problems, just because she was in a crucial period of practice.

Although she had revenged them afterwards

But according to those who had witnessed her revenge, she hadnt shown any hatred or anger when she was taking the revenge. She had behaved like a machine that was simply following instructions.

Another woman, who had also practiced the Icy Heart Formula and made much progress in practicing, had broken up with her lover, since she thought their relationship was a waste of time.

Her lover refused to give up. He thought he could move her with his true love and kept pursuing her.

The woman was so disturbed that she killed him in the end. Her excuse was that her practice had slowed down due to him.

Besides women, there were also male practitioners of the Icy Heart Formula who had done crueler things than those women.

Practitioners of this method wouldnt become crazy killers, but they would become emotionless machines.

If one killed his family and friends when it wasnt a convenient time for him, he wouldnt stop them.

If one disturbed his practice, he would kill them ruthlessly.
