"Uncle Chen, come to Changle Kingdom."

"Something happened?"

"No, I want to show you the results of these forty years."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

"Okay, looking forward to it..."

On the sign with the word "Chen" on it, each word jumped. Across thousands of mountains and rivers, Chen Sheng and Chen Lian were conversing.

Even though they haven't seen each other for forty years, the two of them are still familiar with each other and there is not a trace of strangeness.

That year, Chen Lian let go of the past, let it go, and with a sense of exploration, embarked on the path of mortal pursuit to find the lofty "Tao".

Now it seems that I have found it.

"What could it be?"

There was a smile in Chen Sheng's eyes as he glanced at the pitch-black Hell, without concealing its color, and with a hint of light.

After deciding to go out, he told people he knew. Dafu was very happy to know Chen Lian's current situation and wanted to go and see her, but he was old and frail and could not leave, so he had to give up.

Mr. Chen looked at him for a few times. Dafu was really old. He looked like an old panda, very docile and kind. He also liked the light and often took a nap under the windowsill in the sun.

He looked at the other two places. Cai Rong and Wang Xian were still strong, but they were no longer young and had lost their youthful aura. They were guarding an area and it was quite quiet.

The two of them have always been in a stable state of mind.

Cai Rong knew his own limitations and never forced himself to practice. He enjoyed peace and contentment. His serious and cold expression had long since been changed to a pleasant one, and his eyes and brows always had a hint of smile, which made people feel very comfortable.

Wang Xian is calm and composed. Thanks to Chen Sheng's relationship, he is enjoying himself in the Black Abyss Prison, studying the intelligence of the prisoners. He is carefree and everything is going well.

After giving instructions in Area A11, Chen Sheng went to Team 10. These people gave him little to worry about, as they focused on cultivation. Compared to forty years ago, each of them had much more magical power and a stronger aura, with less gloom and darkness and more of a bright and sharp edge.

When the people from the tenth team heard that Mr. Chen was going out, they didn't make a fuss. They just told him not to worry and that they would wait for him obediently, acting like loyal subordinates.

Mr. Chen nodded and looked at the new recruits Yang Li and Kuang Mengting. The two young men adapted well to the job without much arrogance. They followed Zhao Da and the others and worked peacefully.

His mood improved a little, and then he left the Black Abyss Prison, left the Immortal Sect, and rushed to Changle Kingdom.

The journey was not boring.

Chen Sheng walked on foot. Although he used the escape technique, he did not focus on hurrying on the road. Looking at the mountains and rivers along the way, his heart was bright, and he felt a little carefree and unrestrained.

Sometimes, he saw hermits in the mountains meditating and refining their energy. After looking at each other, they smiled and forgot about each other.

I have also seen great monsters roaming the world with overwhelming ferocity. With just a roar, thousands of mountains would shake and all beasts would panic.

in this way.

About half a month.

"Hongdu is very popular and prosperous."

Chen Sheng saw the capital of Changle State from afar. It was a majestic city with towering walls on all four sides, crowded with people, and hot air rushing up like a furnace.

If there is an expert who knows how to see qi, and opens his Dharma eyes to look, he will surely be able to see a scene of raging fire and boiling oil.

Seeing this scene, Chen Sheng was delighted. Like a tourist, he paid two copper coins at the city gate and entered Hongdu.

"Everything is in good order, a rare clear and bright world."

Stepping in here and being among it, he could more deeply understand the prosperity of Hongdu, where all industries flourished. People walking on the street, even peddlers, exuded a high-spirited spirit.

This is the standard configuration of a prosperous age, where people’s hearts are at peace, they have enough food and clothing, and being human beings has a touch of decency and dignity.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. No matter when or where, a prosperous era is always rare.

“We are in luck.”

The young man beside him felt it.

His name was Xu Xingyi. He was from Dazhao, a neighboring country. Knowing that Changle was a powerful country and having an open mind, he came here specifically to study, hoping that after achieving academic success, he would realize his ambitions and serve the world and the people.

He was excited for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he looked at Chen Sheng, apologetically, and said, "Brother, are you also here to study in Changle Country?"

As far as he knew, all the scholars around Changle State who thought they had some ability came here.

"Younger generation in the family, let me come over here and take a look."

Mr. Chen told the truth.

"The national strength of Changle has experienced explosive growth in the past few decades, and the people are living in peace and happiness. It is indeed worth a visit."

Xu Xingyi didn't care about the "junior generation" that Chen Sheng addressed him. In a family, there are grandfathers of the young man. He just thought that Chen Sheng's older clansmen saw the prosperity of Changle Kingdom and let the young man come and have a look.

"From what Brother Xu said, you know a lot about Changle Country?"

Mr. Chen did not explain. He just listened and became a little interested in Changle Country. After all, it was the country where Chen Lian lived, so it would be good to learn more about it.

"Brother, why don't we get together in the building and talk slowly."

Xu Xingyi took the opportunity to extend the invitation. They were both young and had similar interests, so they probably had a lot to talk about.

"good……"

Mr. Chen did not refuse, and the two of them found a restaurant, ordered some food, and sat down. They ate while waiting for the food and wine to arrive.

"Decades ago, thirty-seven years ago to be exact, Changle Country was not what it is today."

Xu Xingyi drank and slowly talked about the Changle Kingdom, but as he said, there was nothing worth talking about.

Thirty-seven years ago, the Kingdom of Changle was mediocre, just like any other human dynasty in the world, full of darkness and squeezing the blood and sweat of the people.

Then……

He changed the subject and touched upon the boundary that happened thirty-seven years ago. His expression became serious and excited, as if he had witnessed the unfolding of a piece of history.

"That day, a woman came to the outskirts of Hongdu City, and the fate of Anle Kingdom changed from then on."

Xu Xingyi's voice became agitated as he was drunk. It was an ordinary day. The Master, who was thousands of miles away, entered Hongdu of Changle Kingdom and pulled this country in the quagmire up to the clouds, making all industries prosperous and the people live in peace and happiness.

In the secular world, men are superior and women are inferior, but "Master" is an exception. She is a deity, a celestial being, the wisdom that has descended to the world. The worldly rules and regulations cannot restrain her.

"Why is he called Master?"

Chen Sheng's heart moved. The "Master" that Xu Xingyi mentioned looked a bit like Chen Lian. The time matched. The other party had settled here thirty-seven years ago. He frankly admitted that he had found a clue of direction.

"The Master founded Renmin Academy, so naturally he is called the Master."

Xu Xingyi responded as a matter of course.

The Master was a man of profound knowledge, knowing everything from astronomy to geography. On the day when Renmin Academy was opened, he defeated eighteen "doctors of Confucianism" who came to challenge him and officially accepted him as a disciple.

The academy takes "benevolence" as its foundation and saving the people as its mission. In just three years, a group of great talents have emerged. They entered the court as officials and were promoted step by step. Now, the highest-ranking person in the court is the chief civil official and has great respect for the teachers of the academy.

It was also thanks to these talents in the academy that Changle State had the foundation for prosperity, developed step by step, and attracted talents from all over the world.

"Love, universal love, all people, all people."

Mr. Chen has already confirmed that the teacher of the academy is Chen Lian, who is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography because he has read a lot of Taoist classics. In terms of knowledge, he has surpassed all the ordinary scholars.

Chen Lian's life was rather rough. He was cursed when he was born and learned the truth when he was a teenager. He felt resentful but eventually chose to let it go.

Later, she embarked on a journey to seek the truth, hoping to make her earthly life meaningful, but she found the path of "benevolence".

To be fair, Mr. Chen was very happy, much happier than Chang Siliu who had reached a high position.

"After the Master founded the academy, he saw martial arts masters committing evil and immortals disregarding human life, so he founded the Wuxutai to monitor the eight directions, suppress violence, and achieve stability and order in Changle Kingdom."

This is what Xu Xingyi admires the most. The Master's principles are not just words, but principles that can make even the most high-ranking monks calm down and listen.

Since the establishment of Wuxutai, all kinds of chaos have been suppressed, and order and rules have truly covered the country of Anle.

"You have control over both reason and power, but what about the king?"

Chen Sheng, from the perspective of a superior, could see the depression of the King of Changle. It was like having someone standing over your head, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"The king just needs to sit on the dragon throne and watch the master do his work."

Xu Xingyi raised his glass to indicate that the depression of the King of Changle was his personal matter and they could not care less about it. They just wanted to use Changle as a place to study and put their knowledge to good use and to govern the area.

As for who gives the orders, it doesn't seem to matter much.

"Hahaha……"

Chen Sheng suddenly found it interesting, and Lang Sheng laughed. Without power, the king was no longer a king, but just a decoration sitting on the dragon throne.

He resolved the confusion in his heart and said to Xu Xingyi: "Since you want to study, come with me to Renmin Academy tomorrow."

The fact that this young man came from a neighboring country to study shows that he is determined. He is willing to talk to strangers and answer their questions, which shows that he can be cultivated.

"Brother, do you have any connections?"

Xu Xingyi's eyes lit up. He was not pedantic. There were many talented people, but if one was unlucky, he would waste half his life. When you meet a noble person, don't be reserved.

“I guess so.”

Mr. Chen said casually.

Jen Man Academy.

This is the academy founded by the Master. It has a high status and is built in an extremely elegant style. It is quiet in the bustling city and covers a vast area. The small buildings are filled with students and young men in blue shirts, full of high spirits.

In the forbidden area of ​​the academy, the respected teacher was quite busy. He had cleaned up a room early and swept the courtyard, doing everything by himself.

"But a young man of extraordinary bearing is visiting?"

After she learned about Mr. Chen's future arrival, she went to the gate in person and instructed the servant guarding the gate to be careful about the visitors.

Even so, she was still worried, fearing that there might be any mistakes, and she asked the maid beside her to watch at the gate from time to time.

She wanted to go by herself, but doing so would surely attract many students to watch, disrupting the order, so she could only wait in the back.

"Master, no one is visiting."

This was the sixth time the maid had gone out to watch today. Although she didn't say anything, she was thinking in her heart, "Who on earth could have caused the Master to be so concerned?"

She had been with the Master for a long time and had never seen him so eager. In the entire Changle Kingdom, there was no one who could make the Master wait.

She was quite curious about the visitor.

"Should we send a message to Uncle Chen and ask him where he is?"

Chen Lian nodded, thinking in her heart, and finally denied them one by one, saying: "No more urging, no rush."

Her uncle Chen is a free and easy person. He was looking at the mountains and rivers along the way, so it is possible that he was a little slow.

If you rush them, it will ruin their leisure time.

"Uncle Chen, this is the kingdom of peace and happiness that I created. It is my Tao. Although I am a mortal, I have also achieved the fruit of Tao."

Chen Lian suppressed his impetuous thoughts and looked at the young students in Renmin Academy, as if he saw the thread of the entire world.

After these people finish their studies, they will be scattered all over the place to support the operation of the entire Changle Kingdom.

The prosperity of the Kingdom of Anle is the result of her Tao. She is already satisfied with building a paradise with her mortal body.

The reason why she asked Mr. Chen to come instead of her going back was that this prosperity could not be moved away, so Mr. Chen had to come and witness it with his own eyes.

She admitted that she was still a little childish and wanted to share her achievements with her elders at home.

The next day.

Two young figures slowly walked towards Renmin Academy. One was indifferent, while the other was trying to remain calm, but still a little restless.

"Brother Chen, did you bring the token?"

Xu Xingyi was a little panicked, because the Renmin Academy he had been thinking about was right in front of him. Although he knew that Mr. Chen was reliable, his thoughts kept turning in his mind and he couldn't calm down.

"rest assured."

Mr. Chen gave a firm look, Xu Xingyi shut up, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the academy.

"My two lords, is there anything wrong?"

Renmin Academy is an important place for training talents for Changle State, and idle personnel are not allowed to enter.

The servant guarding the gate came forward to ask as usual, but when he saw Mr. Chen, he paused slightly, and felt that he somewhat met the Master's requirements.

"Tell the Master I'm here."

Mr. Chen said calmly.

"You...you are the one the Master is waiting for."

The servant was shocked and believed it a little, but the matter was too important, so he had to ask one more question carefully.

"It's me."

Mr. Chen nodded, and the servant did not dare to be negligent and respectfully invited Mr. Chen and the other man in.

In the academy, Mr. Chen looked at everything around him with great interest. The attics on both sides were elegantly built, but his attention was more focused on the young students.

Their eyes were bright and there was an energy in them that seemed to be able to shake the mountains and change the fate of thousands of people.

"Brother Chen, who... who are you?"

Xu Xingyi felt a sense of unreality while in Renmin Academy, especially the identity of Mr. Chen beside him, whose identity suddenly became unfathomable, making him feel restrained and unable to relax.

"Master, elder."

Mr. Chen said.

"Junior? Master? I..."

Xu Xingyi was shocked and his mind was in a mess. Mr. Chen did say before that he came to Changle Kingdom at the invitation of a junior.

He was fine at the time, but thinking about it now, it was clearly a bombshell.
