Chapter 191: Xuanxin Enters the Demon Realm, Living is Painful
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s response, Xuanxin fell silent for a moment, then slowly began to eat.
And Chen Changsheng quietly watched Xuanxin, waiting for him to finish his meal.
After a long while, Xuanxin set down his bowl and chopsticks, and said, “Have you found a suitable person?”
“Pretty much. Wanting to walk the Ascension Road is not that simple; he might have hope.”
“Do you want him to walk the Ascension Road?”
Hearing this question, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
Sensing Chen Changsheng’s state, Xuanxin smiled faintly.
“I’ve never doubted your judgment of people. If you say that person is qualified to walk the Ascension Road, then he definitely is.”
“But the biggest question is, are you willing to let him go to the Ascension Road?”
“Would you be willing to sacrifice the life of someone close to you to help another?”
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng remained silent, while Xuanxin continued to speak.
“Back then, Wu Li left you behind not only to prevent you from being entangled in this matter but also to ensure you couldn’t stop him.”
“Everyone knows you don’t want to see your old friends depart, or rather, leave for some ‘insignificant’ matter.”
“In your eyes, matters concerning the whole world are merely ‘insignificant’ things.”
“It’s because of Wu Li’s strength and your means that no matter what happens, you both can survive.”
“Wu Li anticipated this, so he secretly ran away, taking everyone with him.”
“He knows he can’t refuse you, which is why he did this.”
After listening, Chen Changsheng raised his head and said, “Isn’t living harder than anything else?”
“Not necessarily.”
“Not everyone possesses a firm resolve like you.”
“Don’t even mention the long years that seem endless; even a mere few thousand years can defeat many.”
“Wanyan Yue, Song Yuanshan, and Zuo Xinghe are all people from the previous era.”
“If it weren’t for your help, they should have stopped at the previous era.”
“But because of your existence, they’ve struggled to live for thousands of years, which is undoubtedly a tremendous torment for living beings.”
“You’ve lived this long; believe me, you should have a deep understanding.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng pressed his lips together and spoke.
“Yes, I do have a deep understanding. I even anticipated that such a matter would occur.”
“But some things cannot simply be let go by seeing through them.”
“After living for several thousand years, you should see everything clearly, yet you still haven’t let go.”
“Not only have I not let go, but I am also clinging tightly.”
“It is because of this inability to let go that the once exceptional and majestic Demon Monk Xuanxin has become what he is now.”
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s words, it was Xuanxin’s turn to fall silent.
“Do you need me to help you take a trip on the Ascension Road?”
“Although I don’t want to go, it is what I owe you.”
“Forget it,” Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, “You’ve held this in for several thousand years; if it were on the Ascension Road, that would be a waste.”
“I will help you find a suitable opponent, one that can allow you to vent this resentment.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng handed over a wooden box.
“Take this; it will suppress the demonic nature within you.”
“At this rate, you will become an unprecedented great Demon Lord.”
Feeling the box Chen Changsheng handed over, Xuanxin said, “This is the relic you used in the Heavenly Heroes Conference?”
“Yes, it is a relic of an old friend.”
“That Little Monk is kind-hearted; if he knew that his relic was suppressing a Demon Lord like you, he would be very pleased.”
“Then thank you.”
Xuanxin happily accepted the box, while Chen Changsheng slightly leaned forward and pried open Xuanxin’s eyelids.
Inside those hollow eye sockets were filled with golden runes.
If one’s cultivation is insufficient, just looking at them would make one feel dizzy.
“Wu Li’s means?”
“Yes, at that time, I almost lost control. If Wu Li hadn’t intervened, I might have slaughtered a city.”
Looking at the smiling Xuanxin, Chen Changsheng sighed lightly.
“About the Matter of the Heartless Immortal, you should…”
“Boom!”
The overwhelming demonic energy caused all the flowers and grass around Chen Changsheng to wither.
The once kind and gentle old monk Xuanxin was now engulfed in boundless demonic energy.
“What, do you want to k*ll me too?”
“Is it not allowed?”
“Time can indeed help forget many things, but it can also make many things take root deeply.”
“Bringing up old matters, you’re just provoking me!”
Hearing Xuanxin’s words filled with murderous intent, Chen Changsheng helplessly shook his head.
“Put it away; it’s better not to mention it.”
“I really don’t want to face someone like you, who has been holding this in for thousands of years.”
Upon hearing this, the demonic energy dissipated, and Xuanxin returned to being that amiable blind old monk.
“This is more like it.”
“Talking principles with someone who wants to d*e, doesn’t that just ask for a beating?”
Glancing at the smiling Xuanxin, Chen Changsheng replied plainly, “After you vent your ‘resentment,’ I hope you will d*e quickly.”
“People like you living in this world can be quite a headache.”
“Rest assured, I’ve been waiting for this day; I’ve waited for a long time.”
“Even if I survive, I wouldn’t agree to anyone wanting me to live.”
Hearing Xuanxin’s somewhat excited tone, Chen Changsheng fell silent for a moment and then turned to leave.
“Wait!”
The blind Xuanxin called out to Chen Changsheng, who was about to depart.
“What is it, still have any last words?”
“What last words could I have? I just have two small questions I’d like to ask you.”
“Go ahead, after all, we’ve known each other; I will answer if I can.”
“The first question, why don’t you hide your secret?”
“Longevity is the greatest temptation in this world; aren’t you really afraid someone will have ill intentions?”
Facing this question, Chen Changsheng replied.
“The more someone wants to live, the less they will know my secret. The more someone wants to d*e, the less I want to hide anything.”
“Because when a person is ready to welcome d*ath, living is a cruel torment to them.”
“For example, if I were to let you live a few more thousand years right now, what would you do?”
“k*ll you!”
Xuanxin answered without hesitation.
“I’ve endured for several thousand years and am about to end this torment, yet you suddenly make me extend this pain for a few more thousand years.”
“If I don’t k*ll you, I won’t find peace!”
“That’s just it; someone like you knowing my secret isn’t a big deal.”
“Because I never worry about you all coveting longevity.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s answer, Xuanxin laughed.
“You always see things so clearly; no wonder you always pick out the unexpected.”
