Chapter 198 The Last Chance, Chen Shisan: I Don’t Want a Retreat
In response to Chen Changsheng’s request, Chen Shisan showed no reaction.
This was because he originally planned to enter the Buddhist Nation to wait for Chen Changsheng.
However, Chen Shisan did not understand the dangers of the journey, while Tianxuan, the Young Master of the Xuan Bird Clan, was well aware.
“Sir, this journey is exceptionally dangerous. Relying solely on our strength…”
“I know.”
Before Tianxuan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Chen Changsheng’s calm words.
“Tianxuan, among the three of you, your experience and knowledge are the most abundant, and your analysis is equally accurate.”
“Indeed, there have been changes in the Buddhist Nation, and the entire Northern Desert will become a massive whirlpool.”
“With your current strength, participating in this will only lead to d*ath.”
“But my requirement remains the same: go to the Buddhist Nation and look for destiny.”
“If you regret it, you can turn back at any time.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Tianxuan fell silent.
At this moment, Qian Bao’er, standing nearby, chuckled and said, “Sir, even if you want us to gain experience, you should at least teach us some skills.”
“With our current abilities, going to the Buddhist Nation would clearly be walking to our deaths, wouldn’t it?”
“Yes, I’m sending you to your deaths.”
Chen Changsheng’s indifferent attitude left Qian Bao’er momentarily speechless.
Glancing at the silent trio, Chen Changsheng continued, “This road is difficult and long.”
“Moreover, reaching the Buddhist Nation is not the end; it is merely the beginning of all suffering.”
“So this twenty thousand miles is not only a test for you but also an opportunity for you to reconsider. It is also my last chance for you.”
After hearing this, the usually silent Chen Shisan finally spoke up.
“Sir, you still haven’t told me why you suddenly appeared here.”
Chen Changsheng: ???
Chen Changsheng’s face was filled with confusion at Chen Shisan’s words.
“Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
“I heard it.”
“This road is harsh and laborious, and you might d*e.”
“And after that?”
“What do you mean after that? Facing such great danger, how can you not think about it?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s slightly agitated demeanor, Chen Shisan scratched his head and replied, “To be honest, I still haven’t figured out why you’re all making such a fuss.”
“The road is difficult; isn’t it?”
“I haven’t been in cultivation for long, so I don’t quite grasp the thoughts of those in the practice.”
“I just know that many mortals still live in dire situations in this world.”
“Those people are also traversing a difficult path, yet I don’t see them stopping!”
Once these words were spoken, Tianxuan, who had been silent with his head down, looked at Chen Shisan again.
Because Chen Shisan’s words had once again astonished him.
Hearing this, a serious-looking Chen Changsheng smiled.
“Hahaha!”
“What a ‘didn’t see them stop,’ you, Chen Shisan, always bring me surprises.”
“While the reasoning is correct, you have one more option than those mortals.”
“You have a choice; they have no way out. They are merely a group forced to move forward…”
“Then I don’t want a retreat.”
Before Chen Changsheng could finish, he was interrupted by Chen Shisan.
Chen Shisan, looking serious, said, “Without a retreat, living beings can advance swiftly.”
“With a retreat, living beings hesitate and do not proceed.”
“So I believe that the ‘retreat’ you mentioned, sir, is not a help or an alternative, but a tremendous ‘constraint.'”
“I don’t want to stop, so I don’t want a ‘retreat.'”
After listening to Chen Shisan’s words, Chen Changsheng remained silent for a long time.
In the end, Chen Changsheng pointed towards the distance and said, “The Buddhist Nation will hold a ‘Buddha Fate Conference.'”
“However, the Buddhist Nation has been closed for a long time, and reopening requires some preparation time.”
“Based on my estimation, about three years should be sufficient.”

“This three-year period is just enough for you to reach the Buddhist Nation.”
After finishing, Chen Changsheng moved forward, and Chen Shisan immediately followed in his footsteps.
“Sir, weren’t you already here?”
“Why do you still want us to go to the Buddhist Nation to find you?”
“This is just a trace of my spiritual sense; my true body is still in the Buddhist Nation.”
“Oh, I see!”
“This move looks powerful; can you teach me?”
“Of course, but you have to take it slowly.”
The two continued their conversation, their voices gradually fading away.
Watching the two gradually retreating figures, Tianxuan hesitated for a moment before quickly catching up to them.
Tianxuan moved, Chen Shisan moved, and the three young people left only Qian Bao’er behind.
Facing their figures, Qian Bao’er recalled something Chen Changsheng had once said.
“They can walk the road you cannot.”
Tianxuan bore the responsibility of reviving his clan, and he had few options for retreat, so he could follow Chen Changsheng on this journey.
Chen Shisan remained true to himself, having never considered retreating, which is why he could follow Chen Changsheng without hesitation.
But she was different from them; she was the “little princess” of the Wanfeng Merchant Association.
From birth, she enjoyed privileges that others could not access, so there was no need for her to take the same path as them.
It was precisely for this reason that she could not keep up with their pace and could not walk their path.
After pondering for a long time, Qian Bao’er finally stepped forward.
Although she did not know if she could reach the end, she still wanted to walk a bit along this road.
It was because Qian Bao’er had a strong feeling that if she did not walk this road, she would regret it her entire life.
……
“Boom!”
A beast comparable to a small mountain fell to the ground.
Tianxuan leaned against a rock, panting heavily.
Meanwhile, Chen Shisan had already closed his eyes and “laid flat,” while Qian Bao’er was stuffing a Dan into his mouth.
“Tsk, tsk!”
“This particular Five-Flavor Herb is at least three hundred years old; you all are really lucky.”
Chen Changsheng beamed as he held up a spiritual medicine, completely ignoring the injured trio.
A quarter of an hour later, under Qian Bao’er’s care, Chen Shisan finally opened his eyes, and Tianxuan managed to regain a bit of his strength.
“Are you all rested? Come over and eat.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s call, the three dragged their weary bodies over.
The beast’s body had already been skinned and deboned and placed in the pot, while the three-hundred-year-old Five-Flavor Herb had also been used by Chen Changsheng as a seasoning.
“Poof!”
As soon as Chen Shisan drank a mouthful of soup, he instantly spewed it out.
The bowl, as large as a basin, was filled with Chen Shisan’s fresh bl**d.
Chen Shisan was injured!
His injuries were severe, and even with Qian Bao’er’s Dan aiding him, he was still in danger.
Yet, in the face of such a situation, Chen Changsheng just stood by with a smile.
He neither healed Chen Shisan nor uttered a word of concern.
“Glug!”
Desperately swallowing the fresh bl**d that surged into his mouth again, Chen Shisan gulped down the soup.
Seeing the two becoming increasingly injured, Qian Bao’er could no longer hold back.
“Sir, we can’t keep going like this.”
“Continuous battles have left their bodies riddled with holes; if this continues, they will d*e.”
Hearing Qian Bao’er’s words, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “You are right; indeed, we cannot go on like this. How can you grow stronger if you spend all day wasting time?”
“To prevent you from getting too bored, I’ve prepared a little surprise for you; you should like it.”
Qian Bao’er: “……”
Are you really planning to k*ll them?
