For a past promise, Xiao Chen makes a powerful return, becoming the personal bodyguard to a beautiful CEO. He sweeps aside all enemies, forging his own legend as a true king!
He climbs to the...
On the snowy mountain, Xiao Chen took out the token.
Then they took a few steps forward and disappeared.
“I’m back.”
Xiao Chen looked at the changing environment before him and smiled.
"Let's go and see my grandma first."
“…”
Old Demon Zhao looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Are you serious?"
Just like her own grandmother.
A few minutes later, Xiao Chen saw Amaterasu.
"Xiaochen, I'm back."
Amaterasu looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.
"The Emperor said last night that you had some important matters to deal with. Have you dealt with them? Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Grandma, I've taken care of it."
Xiao Chen said hurriedly.
"That's good. I can't say anything about other places, but if there's anything you can't solve on the island, just come to me."
Amaterasu smiled.
"Well, I won't be polite with you."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"By the way, I thought of a new name for Hong Yi."
Amaterasu thought of something and said.
"Qiyin, what do you think?"
"Qiyin? It sounds very nice."
Xiao Chen repeated it and nodded.
"So...what's your last name?"
"Last name: Tian."
Amaterasu said again.
"Tian Qiyin."
"sky?"
Xiao Chen was stunned. Is there someone with the surname Tian in the island country?
But thinking about it again, it seems that the surnames of island countries... are quite casual and willful.
There are people from the village near the well, with all kinds of surnames.
The last name is Tian...it's no wonder.
"Yes, this is the surname of the Amaterasu lineage."
Amaterasu nodded.
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Chen suddenly realized.
"What do you think Hongyi?"
"I haven't asked her yet. She probably hasn't gotten up yet... She took the Hun Yuan Pill yesterday."
Amaterasu shook her head.
"Oh? Then let's ask her. If she thinks it's okay, then it's fine."
Xiao Chen was somewhat expectant, wondering how Hong Yi would be transformed after taking the Hunyuan Pill.
"good."
Amaterasu nodded.
"Have you been to all those forbidden areas?"
"Yes, they all went."
Xiao Chen said this and glanced at Zhao Lao Mo.
"Grandma, Lao Zhao wants to go to the Fantasy World again..."
"Oh? Why?"
Amaterasu asked curiously.
"He was there, saw some people who had passed away, and wanted to see them again."
Xiao Chen explained.
"So that's how it is."
Amaterasu suddenly realized.
"However, when you go in again, the scene you saw may not be the same as the last time... In a person's life, there will be countless experiences and countless things that will leave an impression in their hearts! Therefore, every time you enter the fantasy world, what you see may be different."
Hearing this, Zhao Lao Mo's face changed. He still wanted to see his master and fellow disciples again.
Now, I can’t see you anymore?
"You can go in and take a look, you never know."
Amaterasu said to Zhao Lao Mo.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Zhao Lao Mo thanked him.
He was quite respectful to Amaterasu.
If for no other reason, just because Xiao Chen kept calling her "Grandma", he dared not be disrespectful.
It is obvious that Amaterasu and the old fortune teller have some unusual relationship.
"You're welcome."
After Amaterasu finished speaking, she looked at Chifeng again.
"You can also go and have a look more often and ask your conscience."
"good."
Chifeng nodded.
"What about me?"
Xiao Chen asked. To be honest, he was quite looking forward to it.
It was so vivid and real.
"you?"
Amaterasu looked at Xiao Chen.
"You don't have to go."
“…”
Hearing this, Xiao Chen felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Amaterasu saw that scene?
Why did he feel that Amaterasu's gaze was a little strange?
It’s over… If I really see it, I’ll be socially dead!
"You will follow me in a moment."
Amaterasu said again.
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Chen responded, hoping that he was overthinking it.
More than ten minutes later, Zhao Lao Mo and Chi Feng left, and Xiao Chen followed Amaterasu.
"This is……"
When he arrived in front of a pond, Xiao Chen showed a look of surprise.
This seems to be... the place where Amaterasu bathes?
He asked his personal maid Huizi at the time, and she specifically mentioned it.
Amaterasu, why would she bring her here?
"On weekdays, I like to retreat here."
Amaterasu said casually.
"Retreat?"
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Not taking a bath?
However, he did not dare to ask more questions, after all, he was his elder.
“See that tree?”
Amaterasu pointed to a tree ahead.
"Hmm, what kind of tree is this? It doesn't seem to exist in the outside world."
Xiao Chen looked around.
“It is the Soul Tree.”
Amaterasu introduced.
"Soul tree?"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Is this where the soul fruit grows?"
"right."
Amaterasu nodded.
"I like to sit under the Soul Tree..."
Xiao Chen looked carefully and found a cushion under the soul tree.
"Grandma, it is said that all the great monks and Buddhas like to practice under the Bodhi tree. You are similar."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Haha, I brought you here because I wanted you to feel it for yourself. Maybe it will be helpful to you."
Amaterasu smiled.
"Oh? Are there any other benefits to practicing under the Soul Tree?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Just try it and you'll know."
Amaterasu said as she slowly stepped forward.
Xiao Chen followed and when he got closer, he found that the soul tree was not small, quite thick, and had lush branches and leaves.
This made him a little puzzled. With so many leaves, why was the tea so precious?
"Soul tea is not made from these grown leaves, but from leaf buds..."
As if knowing what Xiao Chen was thinking, Amaterasu spoke again.
Xiao Chen was shocked. Could it be that Amaterasu could read minds?
"This soul tree has existed for thousands of years, and the soul fruit... takes thirty-three years to bloom, thirty-three years to bear fruit, and thirty-three years to mature, a total of ninety-nine years."
Amaterasu continued.
"Just now I said that the leaf buds used to make soul tea basically take thirty-three years to grow, so they are more precious."
"Ninety-nine years?"
Xiao Chen widened his eyes in surprise.
"How can this be a soul fruit? This is a ginseng fruit, right?"
"Haha, the ginseng fruit in China's Journey to the West blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures once every three thousand years. The soul fruit is far inferior to this."
Amaterasu smiled.
"Ninety-nine years is also an exaggeration."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He realized more clearly how precious the soul fruit was.
"Well, it's precisely because it's been going on for so many years that the effect is so great. If it happened every year, wouldn't it be less precious?"
Amaterasu nodded.
"Precious things all have the same attribute, which is... rarity."
"really."
Xiao Chen nodded. It is precious because it is rare.
"Go sit down and try it."
Amaterasu said.
"good."
Xiao Chen responded, stepped forward, and sat cross-legged on the cushion.
"Calm your mind and practice well..."
Amaterasu said again.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, closed his eyes, and practiced the 'Chaos Technique'.
Soon, he smelled a strange fragrance, not strong, but a faint scent.
As the fragrance entered his nose, his upper dantian began to vibrate slightly.
This surprised him a little. This soul tree was indeed extraordinary.
He stopped thinking about it, relaxed himself, calmed his mind, and began to practice.
Soon, he was immersed in it.
Seeing this, Amaterasu did not stay for long and turned and left.
Time passed by minute by minute...but for Xiao Chen at this moment, there was no concept of time anymore.
He seemed to have entered a mysterious state, especially his soul, an unprecedented feeling.
At noon, Hong Yi came to Amaterasu.
"Greetings, Master."
Hong Yi greeted respectfully.
"Um."
Amaterasu nodded and looked at Hong Yi with a satisfied smile.
Hunyuan Pill can transform a person completely. Hong Yi is like a completely different person compared to yesterday.
"How does it feel?"
"I feel good, Master. I seem to be stronger..."
Hong Yi was a little excited. She had just broken through to the Hua Jin level when she was in Long Hai.
After this night, she felt that she was stronger, and even... there were signs of another breakthrough.
"Yeah, that's normal."
Amaterasu smiled.
"However, the greatest benefit of the Primordial Pill is not that it can make you stronger, but that it can change your own talents... This benefit will become more obvious as time goes by."
"Thank you, Master, for the divine elixir..."
Hong Yi thanked.
"You are welcome."
Amaterasu shook her head.
"Xiao Chen is back and is practicing now..."
"Oh? Brother Chen is back?"
Hong's eyes lit up.
"Yes, and I have also thought of a name for you, Tian Qiyin."
Amaterasu looked at Hongyi.
"What do you think of this name? The surname 'Tian' is unique to this island country. It is the surname of our Amaterasu lineage."
"Tian Qiyin..."
Hong Yi repeated.
"Qiyin?"
"Well, I also told Xiaochen, and he said he would listen to your opinion."
Amaterasu nodded.
"Do you like it? If not, change it to another one."
"like."
Hong Yi replied that although it was not Xiao Chen who started it, he was still involved.
"Thank you for the name, Master."
"Okay, from now on, your name will be 'Qiyin'."
Amaterasu smiled.
"yes."
Hong nodded.
"Qiyin, very nice."
"Haha, as long as you like it."
Amaterasu smiled.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet Xiaochen. He should have gained something."
"good."
Hong Yi responded and followed Amaterasu out of the hall.
Under the soul tree, Xiao Chen was still practicing.
As Amaterasu and Hong Yi arrived, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"how?"
Amaterasu asked when she saw Xiao Chen waking up.
“It feels good.”
Xiao Chen stood up and answered.
He felt it carefully and found that his soul did not become stronger, but... it had changed.
This change is like a sublimation.
The quality is higher while the overall amount remains unchanged.
In fact, his daily spiritual cultivation is also a similar process.
But this process is too slow and long, so it doesn't feel like much.
But now, cultivating my mind under the Soul Tree has accelerated this change, and it has become much clearer.
"During this time, come here to practice more... Even if you don't have innate abilities, your soul can still transform."
Amaterasu said to Xiao Chen.
"Grandma, what will happen after the transformation?"
Xiao Chen was curious.
"Not necessarily. It depends on you."
Amaterasu shook her head.
"All right."
Xiao Chen nodded. He had a vague feeling that this soul tree... would bring him a big surprise.
