519: Chapter 522 The Reclusive Master

Lu Chen needed time to gather his thoughts.

He needed to plan his next course of action.

Besides that,

he also wanted to return to the Three-Dimensional Space where his family resided.

But that was undoubtedly a risky move.

After all, this dimension was teeming with powerful experts whose Domains were spread everywhere.

Lu Chen had to become stronger to ensure complete safety.

Fortunately, the Clone he left behind in the Three-Dimensional Space was still there.

Although he had severed the connection with the Clone,

at least he didn't have to worry about his family's safety.

"System, how can I break through that barrier?"

"Master, as long as you achieve the Awakening of the fourth axis, you will gain recognition from the barrier and be able to pass through."

"So, I must first become a Four-Dimensional existence to break the barrier. Very well, this matter can be postponed. I'll Cultivate for a while first."

Lu Chen wanted to condense his own 'fourth axis of existence'.

To do so, he needed systematic Cultivation.

Although his System could infinitely enhance his strength, it couldn't help him break through to a higher life level.

This step had to be accomplished by himself.

He walked deep into the forest.

He casually created an exquisite small wooden house.

He then set up a barrier around the hut.

From now on, he would live in seclusion here until he achieved the Breakthrough to become a Four-Dimensional existence.

Lu Chen built a luxurious manor for himself, and a mischievous thought arose in his heart.

"Why not play the part of a 'reclusive master'? A Supreme expert like me, living in seclusion in a Mortal village, then taking a few disciples, casually tossing them a few Supreme treasures, and watching them grow stronger step by step and become famous throughout the world..."

Just thinking about it made Lu Chen's blood boil.

He estimated that he would need at least one year to achieve the Breakthrough to Four-Dimensional.

"A year has 365 days. If my strength doubles every day, how strong will I be after a year?"

He could hardly imagine.

Perhaps by then,

he would only need one punch to kill a Four-Dimensional Monarch!

Lu Chen also created several machines capable of automatically absorbing the Universe's energy.

He also planted the yard full of various spiritual fruit trees.

His goal

was to Cultivate a batch of top-grade 'Enlightenment Immortal Fruits'.

These Immortal Fruits were treasures capable of Heaven-Defying fate changes in the eyes of others.

To him,

they were merely snacks for when he had nothing better to do.

Afterward,

he also planned to create several powerful servants to stay by his side and attend to him.

In summary,

Lu Chen intended to completely play the role of a 'reclusive master' from a Cultivation novel.

Meanwhile, in that village,

a little boy was carrying a bamboo basket,

walking into the forest to gather food.

He suddenly saw deep within the forest,

a luxurious manor standing tall that he had never seen before.

"Where did this house come from? It definitely wasn't here yesterday..."

The little boy muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.

He really wanted to walk over and take a look.

But he was more worried about his mother and sister at home.

If he didn't gather food quickly enough, his bedridden mother and young sister would go hungry.

He hastily gathered some wild fruits and medicinal herbs.

After hesitating for a moment, he still chose a few of the largest and sweetest wild fruits and placed them at the manor's entrance.

He whispered,

"I don't know who you are, but food is truly scarce here. I can only offer this much. If you come out, I hope these wild fruits can help you fill your stomach."

After speaking, the little boy turned and left.

All of this

was clearly seen by Lu Chen inside the manor.

"My first protagonist has finally appeared. Little fellow, don't worry. With just these few wild fruits, your fate has already completely changed."

Lu Chen spread out his Spiritual Domain,

enveloping the entire village, his gaze fixed closely on the little boy.

The little boy returned to a dilapidated small wooden house.

He immediately brewed the gathered herbs into a medicinal soup

and fed it to his bedridden mother.

His little sister was sitting obediently by the bedside, accompanying their mother.

"Mother, don't worry. Grandpa Village Chief said that as long as I go to the capital to enlist and join the Royal Guard, I can earn a lot of money. When that time comes, I'll bring both you and little sister over so we can live a good life!"

The little boy said with a determined expression.

Just then,

a strange voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Little fellow, if you wish to change your destiny, come find me in the forest."

The little boy was startled. He froze for a moment, then reacted.

Only he could hear this voice.

His mother and sister seemed completely unaware.

He was a bit scared, but he couldn't help but ask,

"Lucy, did you hear any strange sounds just now?"

The little girl shook her head blankly.

"Brother, what sound? I didn't hear anything. Maybe I was just spacing out earlier."

"Is that so... Then please help me feed these wild fruits to Mother. You eat some too. I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

The mother lying on the bed forced her eyes open.

Looking at her son's departing back,

her eyes were filled with worry, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.

The little boy walked out of the wooden house,

his brow tightly furrowed, lost in thought.

He had seen a manor that appeared out of thin air in the forest just now.
