Chapter 194: Emperor's Fate (10)
Su Chen said calmly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden blinked. "Then Young Master must not blame Chi Yao for being rude."
Su Chen remained expressionless.
The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden continued, "I feel… that Young Master seems to have become even younger. When Chi Yao first met you, you already looked like this."
Su Chen replied indifferently, "It is merely the side effect of cultivating a forbidden art. Using it requires paying a certain price, and this is one of them."
His body had indeed shrunk slightly, but it was of no importance.
The Jade Pool Sacred Maiden said with envy, "So that is the case… Young Master may not know, but this price is something countless women dream of. Beauty fades like withered bones. No matter how beautiful one's appearance, it cannot withstand the passage of time. Even the most stunning beauty will grow old one day. Yet Young Master's secret art can allow a person to remain forever at their most beautiful age."
Su Chen felt a headache coming on. He could only continue, "The cost of using this secret art is also extremely high. It requires a physique that touches upon time. Otherwise, one cannot resist the power of the years and may disappear from the world due to the taboo, leaving behind no trace."
Disappointment flashed in the Jade Pool Sacred Maiden's beautiful eyes. Physiques that touched upon time were extremely rare throughout history. Every such physique was a supreme constitution destined to attain the Dao. Su Chen's Flying Immortal Dao Body, for example, had appeared only a handful of times in ancient records, and most of those who possessed it had proven the Dao and become Emperors.
