On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

His cultivation helped him navigate the dark room without any difficulty.

"She\'s not here," Chen Tian thought to himself as he scanned the room.

He was back in Emilia\'s room, where he left for the cultivation world.

"Maybe she\'s downstairs", he mused to himself.

He used his spiritual sense and scanned the whole house; now that he was in the Meridian Opening Realm, his spiritual senses were heightened and more powerful than ever before.

But even with his enhanced senses, he couldn\'t sense Emilia\'s presence anywhere in the house.

Chen Tian\'s heart sank as he realized she wasn\'t there. He was hoping to see her the first time he came back.

"Maybe she left to get something." He thought to himself, trying to find a logical explanation for her absence.

Chen Tian quickly searched for his phone; he remembered leaving it inside the Emilia Room before leaving for the cultivation world.

When he found his phone, he noticed that he had missed several calls and messages from Aria and Leng Zhiqing and one call from his aunt.

His heart pounded with worry as he quickly dialed Aria\'s phone number, but it went straight to voicemail. He tried calling Leng Zhiqing next, hoping to get some answers, but her phone was also unreachable.

Panic began to set in as he realized something was seriously wrong.

Chen Tian decided to call his aunt next, but it was also unsuccessful. With each failed attempt, his anxiety grew.

He frantically paced around the room, searching for any clue or explanation.

"Why are they not picking up?" he muttered to himself, his heart racing. "Something must have happened. I need to find them."

Chen Tian\'s mind raced.

Emilia isn\'t here either, which made Chen Tian worry even more.

Unable to bear the unease any longer, Chen Tian decided to take matters into his own hands.

He stormed out of the room and left the house.

"Emilia\'s car is here!" he exclaimed as he spotted her vehicle parked outside.

Now he was more worried than ever.

Where could they be? Chen Tian\'s thoughts filled with worst-case scenarios as he hurriedly approached Emilia\'s car.

He fumbled for his phone, dialing Emilia\'s number this time.

Only to have his face darken with disappointment as the call went straight to voicemail.

His heart sank.

"Something happened!"

If it was only Aria or Emilia, Chen Tian wouldn\'t be worried this much, but even his aunt, who never had her phone on silent, was unreachable.

His mind raced with possibilities, each one more terrifying than the last.

Were they in danger?

Chen Tian\'s hands trembled as he circulated his spiritual Qi during his feet.

|Boom|

Like an arrow, Chen Tian dashed forward, his movements fluid and focused.

The air around him seemed to hum with energy as his spiritual Qi surged through his meridians, enhancing his speed and agility.

His speed was unparalleled, his every step covering a great distance in an instant.

The people on the streets only saw a blur as Chen Tian zipped past them, leaving a gust of wind in his wake.

"What was that?" exclaimed a bystander, startled by the sudden rush of wind.

"Ahhh!"

Many girls wearing skirts screamed in surprise as their skirts were lifted by the force of the wind created by Chen Tian\'s swift movement.

Some even had to grab onto nearby poles or walls to prevent themselves from being swept off their feet.

Chen Tian paid no mind to the commotion; his focus was solely on reaching his destination, his determination evident in his determined expression.

He couldn\'t afford to hesitate or second-guess himself now.

The thought of what awaited him at his destination sent shivers down his spine, but he knew he had to press on.

He arrived in front of his house in 10 minutes, no sweat on his brow despite the intense running and the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

He immediately used his spiritual sense and searched the entire mansion.

"Sigh," A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he found Emilia Aria and Leng Zhiqing inside the house.

And to his surprise, Emilia was now in the 3rd Stage of the Body Refining Realm.

She made progress when he wasn\'t around, and it filled him with a sense of pride and joy.

"They are safe... I can feel that they are inside, have any injuries, and are talking in the living room; then why didn\'t they reply to my calls?"

Chen Tian was annoyed by their lack of response to his calls.

He couldn\'t understand why the girls didn\'t answer their phones, which made him so worried.

"I will teach them a lesson, making them learn to make me this worried," he muttered to himself, pacing toward the door.

He had the keys to the house with him, so he unlocked the door and swung it open.

As he stepped inside, he was relieved and surprised to see the girls laughing.

Even Leng Zhiqing, the girl who barely smiled, had a wide grin on her face. Chen Tian\'s annoyance quickly turned into confusion as he tried to comprehend the situation.

"What\'s going on?" he asked in a bewildered tone.

The girls didn\'t feel Chen Tian\'s presence yet, even Emilia, who was now a cultivator now wouldn\'t be able to do it.

"Cough" Getting the attention of the girls, Chen Tian cleared his throat to get their attention.

As their laughter subsided, they turned to face him.

"Honey!!" Emilia boomed a loud voice, rushing towards Chen Tian with open arms. m|vl|e|mp|y|r article

She missed him dearly and couldn\'t believe he was standing there in front of her.

"I knew you would come back. I miss you!" Emilia couldn\'t hold her emotions back any longer and burst into tears as she embraced Chen Tian tightly.

Hearing her words, Chen Tian\'s expression turned soft and filled with love.

He gently wiped away her tears and whispered, "I missed you too, Emilia."

Emilia was happy to see him back, but as for the other girls, their expressions weren\'t the same as Emilia\'s.

Their joyful expressions when they were talking turned into angry ones as they watched Chen Tian.

Chen Tian hugged Emilia tightly, feeling a sense of warmth and love enveloping him.

The other girls, however, crossed their arms and exchanged glances, their eyes filled with disappointment and betrayal.

It was clear that Chen Tian had a lot of explaining to do today.

"Now look who came back. I thought you didn\'t know the way home," Aria said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

She had always been the most blunt of the group, never one to hold back her true feelings.

"Hahaha, I was studying..." Chen Tian laughed nervously, trying to lighten the tension in the air.

He didn\'t want to lie to his family, but it was still too early to say anything related to the cultivation world yet.

"Hmph, sister, he still dares to lie!" Leng Zhiqing was fuming with anger.

How dare he still lie to their faces after everything they had been through together?

As a family, the most important thing for them was trust and honesty.

"Honey, Sister Aria and Sister Leng Zhiqing already know that you weren\'t at my home" Emilia said.

She was still in Chen Tian\'s arms, not letting go.

"What!!"

Hearing Emilia\'s words, Chen Tian felt a surge of panic.

How could they have found out?

Seeing his expression, Emilia said in a timid voice, "I-I was the one who told them."

"You! But why!" Chen Tian knew that Emilia would never do such a thing without a valid reason.

"Hmph, don\'t blame her; she had no choice but to tell us." Aria\'s cold stare pierced through the room as she entered, her arms crossed over her chest.

"We waited for you all day, worried sick about you, and you were just out studying? How could you betray our trust like this?" She turned away, unable to look Chen Tian in the eye.

The disappointment in her voice was palpable. Chen Tian knew he had a long road ahead of him to regain his friends\' trust.

Chen Tian felt a pang of guilt as he realized the impact his absence had on his friends. He knew he had some serious explaining to do if he wanted to salvage their relationships.

"W-Wait, I can explain!" Chen Tian tried to grab her arm, but she shrugged him off.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

In all these years, Chen Tian had never lied to them, but now he found himself in a position where he had to confront his own actions.

"Damn it!" Chen Tian cursed inwardly as he was stuck in this predicament, desperately searching for the right words to make amends.

He knew that if he didn\'t come up with a valid reason, his relationship with Aria and Leng Zhiqing would be irreparably damaged.
