Chapter 389: Journey and Return
Chen Zhaosheng was probably sent away by Chen Tianyuan! He was a ruthless person who could swallow up the person who took over someone else's body! In fact, when Chen Zhixing and Chen Tianjiao were fighting for their lives in the Southern Wilderness, this ancestor of the Chen family was watching nearby. He watched helplessly!!!
"Whether you win or Zhao Shengying wins, the one who will return home in the end will be 'Chen Zhixing'."
"What about Fourth Uncle? If I hadn't helped, would you have saved him?"
"Tianchen is a good kid."
"so?"
"He is too clean and unfit to live in this world. The sooner he dies, the sooner he will be reborn."
“.”
"Do you think I'm too cold-blooded towards you descendants? After all, you are all the blood of the Chen family. As the ancestor, I have the ability to save people, but I just stood by and watched."
“.”
"Hahaha, the world is like hell, with hundreds of ghosts roaming around every day. How do you know that I, your ancestor, am not a fierce ghost? Just wait and watch a big drama of the Buddha of all living things unfold in this anxious world!"
"I hope that the ancestor can achieve immortality as soon as possible. When he does, I, Chen, can be freed from this hell of Buddha."
"Your grandfather is still alive. I have arranged for him to stay with an old friend on the Floating Island. He achieved immortality 512 years ago, and then fled overseas with his family. He has not set foot in Cangxuan for the past 500 years."
"How is Grandpa now?"
"Still in seclusion to strive for the pinnacle."
"Um."
"Little guy, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Then Changsheng can't be liberated either?"
"The realm of immortality is just a state, and you may be able to leave the chessboard by yourself, but if you want to become a chess player, why do you think that after we, the younger generation of cultivators, reach the realm of immortality, we can make a group of seniors who have practiced earlier than us, have better talents than us, and have achieved immortality before us and formed an alliance with us, bow down to us?"
“.”
"Zhi Xing, be obedient and go to the frozen earth plateau. There is a coffin there. No one who is in the immortal realm will go there to bring bad luck. And those below the immortal realm will not be able to leave the domain of the Snow Demon King no matter how many people go there."
"If I go, what will happen to the family?"
"As long as you are here, the Chen family will be here. Just like I said before, the current Chen family is already rotten beyond recognition. Once you achieve immortality, you can rebuild the Chen family."
“.”
"Why don't you speak?"
"Grandmaster, does the old friend in the realm of immortality you mentioned earlier sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and dream that the place where he was born has become a pagoda hell?"
“.”
“.”
"He hasn't slept in a long time."
"Ancestor, are you confident that you can deal with the dragon turtle this time?"
"In the worst case scenario, it's 50 percent."
"Best?"
"A life-and-death struggle is a matter of life and death."
"So, Mitsunari?"
“.”
"You don't even have 30% confidence, yet you dare to provoke that dragon turtle?"
"The road is there, there is no other way. Let alone 30%, even if it's 10%, we have to fight for it!"
"It can't be even 10%."
"roll!!!"
"Old Ancestor, since you have a friend in the East China Sea who has achieved immortality, why don't you ask him to help? I think it would be more effective if an immortal and the top people like you join forces."
"He paid such a huge price to finally get out of this chess game, how could he be willing to come back?"
"Ancestor, nothing in this world is absolute. The only thing is whether the price you pay is enough."
"Heh. Zhixing, what do you think is the price of asking an immortal to fight with his life? Even if he is willing to come, how will the spoils be divided after the war? That is the immortal gold nature. Do you think my friend will be willing to discuss it with me, or will he turn around and kill me, a peak who has lived for 1,800 years without a breakthrough?"
“.”
"I will teach you one last lesson. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter the same situation as me in the future, remember, no matter how well you get along with your friends on a daily basis, the people you should trust in the end are your family members."
"Ancestor"
"It's not that your family won't betray you, but if it was a younger generation of your family that stabbed you, you would be more likely to accept it and feel more at ease. You wouldn't have too many regrets before you die."
".Teachable."
"Zhi Xing, let's separate in front. If I can come back alive, I will bring the things back to the Chen family. Then you and I, the grandfather and grandson, will have a chance of immortality."
"What if you can't come back?"
"Someone else will bring it back to you."
"What if no one replies?"
“.”
"Then I will wait until I achieve immortality and then go to the North Sea to collect your bodies."
"good."
“.”
"What's wrong Zhixing?"
"Old Ancestor, you must return to the Chen family alive. If you die in the mouth of a turtle, I'm afraid I will look down on you."
"Hahahaha, what more can I ask for from future generations like you! Hahahaha"
On the coast of Beihai, looking at Chen Tianyuan's back as he left with a laugh, Chen Zhixing felt that he might not come back.
"Well, you are obviously a tyrant, but because of some terrible things, you can only stay at home like an old dog and can't go out. Living like this is better for you than being dead."
Buzz! "Let's go, Aokiji, first we'll go see the willow tree, then go to the frozen tundra, and then we'll go home."
A sword light shot up into the sky.
On the way.
"Master, Aokiji doesn't think you are very sad."
"He's not dead yet."
“.”
"Eh? After hearing what you said, I still feel empty inside. With the departure of our ancestor, our family has lost its pillar of support. Sooner or later, our Chen family will be finished."
"Then, Master, do you want to enter the peak?"
"The best? Ha! How can I, your son, be that capable?"
"host"
"Why don't you call Chen Gou anymore?"
"host"
"Forget it, don't call me master from now on. It sounds weird. Just call me young master."
"Well, Sword Spirit Aokiji, nice to meet Master Zhixing."
"good."
"Sir, there is a sea monster in front of you. Do you want to kill it and get the elixir?"
"Haha, Aokiji, your son has a perceptive sword spirit like you by his side, so why worry about not becoming a sword immortal in the future?"
“.”
Although Aokiji felt that Chen Zhixing was not unhappy, he couldn't feel any other emotions either.
Aokiji felt that Chen Zhixing was just hiding his emotions from her.
Instead of not being sad.
Northern Territory, Stone Village.
After half a month, the surface of the big willow tree looked even greener, and the many branches that had sprouted out began to show signs of vitality.
Well, this big willow tree has grown leaves.
As if the big willow tree noticed Chen Zhixing's arrival, it waved its branches from a distance, as if greeting him.
The sword light fell under the big willow tree.
Without saying anything, he just quietly watched the treetops above his head becoming gradually denser.
As if sensing Chen Zhixing's mood, Willow God said, "Have you encountered something unpleasant?"
"Um."
“It’s normal for people.”
"I just find it a little funny. I came across a dragon turtle with good intentions and wanted to take the ancestor to search it, but who would have thought that it would become like this now."
“Eight out of ten are not satisfactory”
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Not necessarily. Who knows, maybe when he comes back in a few years, he will be the Immortal Lord."
Chen Zhixing chuckled.
The way adults escape is to think of the best in everything bad.
"You're right."
"By the way, I came here this time to ask you something."
"you say."
"Have you ever heard of a coffin with a black surface stained with yellow mud? Not only is it immortal for thousands of years, but even a drop of blood flowing out of it can create a strange environment like the frozen plateau."
The trunk of the big willow tree shook and the branches on the treetops swayed.
Chen Zhixing could see that it was his words that irritated the willow tree.
However, after waiting for a long time, Chen Zhixing still did not get any answer from the big willow tree.
"I don't want to say it, but I can't say it."
No response.
"Okay, I get it, sorry to bother you."
The big willow tree still did not respond until Chen Zhixing was about to fly out of Shi Village with his sword again, when a faint female voice reached his ears.
"Remember the deal for next time."
"I see."
"In return, I will try to protect the lives of your ancestors if I can."
Chen Zhixing: “!!!”
Chen Zhixing has always been curious about what kind of life form the willow tree takes.
Sometimes it really feels like a god!
You can travel across the Northern Territory, Zhongzhou, and talk to Little Stone in the South Island.
He could detain a top-level demon three thousand miles below the sea five hundred thousand miles away from the North Sea and suppress it by his side.
It can cross the universe and come to the Xuancang Realm from an unknown distant place.
Can control celestial phenomena to a certain extent.
According to the common understanding of mortals, isn't such a being a god? Apart from other things, just talking about the above four items, I'm afraid even Changsheng Zhenjun can't do it. After all, I have never heard of any Changsheng Zhenjun who can cross the void.
But the magic of the Willow God does not end there. It is said that it has lived in Shi Village for countless years without being discovered by the Immortal Lord from the outside world. Even the people of Shi Village have never revealed the news of its existence to outsiders.
How could this strange ability affect Changsheng Zhenren by making it unknown to others? The people in Shi Village could not reveal any information at all.
Chen Zhixing even suspected that if he had not reached a deal with the big willow tree, he would most likely have forgotten the existence of this big willow tree and this village.
“So, to me, my ancestor, this big willow tree is as dangerous as the frozen plateau. It seems that if it is not necessary in the future, I should not come here in person.”
Chen Zhixing felt that his fourth uncle was a suitable candidate to replace him.
He is not a bad person and will not arouse the resentment of the big willow tree. He is trustworthy. After all, he is our fourth uncle and is in charge of many family secrets, so he is not afraid of more.
"It's just that his cultivation is a little low. No, I have to urge Fourth Uncle after I return home so that he can break through the Nirvana realm as soon as possible!"
In fact, Chen Tianchen has been practicing very hard.
But his talent for cultivation is really poor.
Chen Zhixing's father started practicing a year and a half earlier than Chen Tianchen, and the difference in the time they practiced was only this much. However, when his father Chen Tianliang was injured, he had already reached the peak of Zhenwu realm, while Chen Tianchen at that time had just entered the realm of spiritual enlightenment.
Later, Chen Tianliang's cultivation level regressed for several years due to illness. Only then did Chen Tianchen barely catch up and reached the third level of Zhenwu together with the other three.
But now, Chen Tianliang has recovered from his illness and has recovered to the seventh level of Zhenwu, but Chen Tianchen is still only at the third level of Zhenwu. This is the situation where he has no talent for cultivation and is not suitable for cultivation.
If he had not been born in the Chen family, with enough talents and treasures, Uncle Chen Zhixing might never have had the chance to practice cultivation in this life.
Chen Tianchen himself is also aware of this.
Therefore, he has basically given up on improving his own cultivation level and devoted all his body and mind to strengthening the Chen family.
It was also because of this that after Chen Zhixing resigned from the position of family head, the position of family head fell on Chen Tianchen.
Ziwei Mountain, Changsheng Palace.
Chen Tianchen sat in the main seat. On the table in front of him were piled up like a mountain of things, enough to bury him, waiting for him to deal with.
"My eldest brother wants to take a concubine. The family needs to allocate a portion of funds as a betrothal gift. Hmm? Only three thousand spirit stones?"
Looking at the betrothal gift list submitted by the first wife, Chen Tianchen couldn't help but frown.
"Brother, what do you mean? Even when my Chen family was at its lowest point, the value of the betrothal gifts for the direct descendants was never less than 100,000. This is just 3,000..."
When Chen Tianchen saw that his elder brother Chen Tianxiong's wife was just an ordinary woman who looked similar to his deceased elder sister-in-law, his frown eased a little.
"Come here, send the money needed by the eldest house, and congratulate me on my behalf."
"Here." Li Shuang took the gift list from Chen Tianchen's hand and disappeared from the spot.
Chen Tianchen had already gotten used to the Snow Demon Clan's elusiveness, and continued to look through the letter in front of him.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"My nephew greets my fourth uncle."
"Um."
"I heard that my father was going to get married, so I came back home specially. However, I have a lot of trivial matters to attend to, so it is not convenient for me to meet my father now. I will need to trouble my fourth uncle to send the congratulatory gift on my behalf on the wedding day."
"Hmm Zhaosheng?"
Chen Tianchen, who was originally busy, finally realized that something was wrong and raised his head suddenly.
In front of the hall, Chen Zhaosheng was wearing a black robe and had a gentle smile.
"Uncle, long time no see."
"Are you really Zhao Sheng?"
Somewhat unbelieving, Chen Tianchen ran down the stairs and came in front of Chen Zhaosheng.
A hand grabbed Chen Zhaosheng's sleeve.
"Zhao Sheng, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you say hello to your family? You know how much your father missed you all these years. On weekdays..."
"But Fourth Uncle and Father will be worried."
Chen Zhaosheng looked at Chen Tianchen, who was full of concern and excitement. After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "My nephew went to a very far place, but he is back now."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back. As for your father's plan to take a concubine, Zhaosheng, you've grown up, and you should understand what your father has been doing all these years."
"Uncle, I understand everything. I also understand father, and I am even happy that father can marry. It's just that I haven't been home for a long time, and I really have some trivial matters to deal with."
Chen Zhaosheng introduced with a wry smile.
Chen Tianchen nodded in agreement, and then said: "You haven't told me where you went."
"It's really far away, so far that I thought I would never be able to return home in my life."
