Chapter 257: Rather Bear All Kinds of Hardships, Unwilling to Leave the Mortal World
Facing Chen Changsheng’s proposed solution, Zhang Zhenren said with a grave expression.
“Abandoning the physical body and sealing divinity through fortune, do you know what this means?”
“I certainly do. The cost of doing so is being bound by others for a lifetime, and cultivation will also be restricted.”
“Once the Heavenly Court’s incense offerings cease, they will vanish from this world.”
“Furthermore, there is another drawback to sealing divinity through fortune.”
“The Heavenly Court’s fortune contains a significant portion of the power of incense offerings.”
“They rely on fortune to reconstruct their bodies, their spiritual senses will also be affected.”
“To put it simply, whatever the world’s beings desire them to be, that is what they will become.”
After hearing this, a trace of reluctance flickered in Zhang Zhenren’s eyes.
“They have thrown their lives and bl**d for the Heavenly Court, they have died for this world.”
“Even if we cannot give them their due, we cannot turn them into puppets!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng spread his hands and said, “I know cultivators endure hardships tirelessly to seek freedom.”
“But this is the only way, unless you choose to accept the ominous, I have no other choice here.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s calm gaze, Zhang Zhenren was speechless for a long time.
“Let me ask an unrelated question.”
“If Wu Li and the others d*e, would you use fortune to seal divinity to help them reincarnate?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because they are who they are; they don’t need to live for others, nor do they need to be bound by others.”
“I can’t bring them back to the sea of suffering in this world just because of my reluctance.”
“Be it fortune sealing divinity, even if one day I could resurrect people from the river of time, I wouldn’t revive them.”
Hearing these words, Zhang Zhenren became somewhat interested.
“Why? If you truly reach that realm, they would still be who they were, without any change.”
“I know!”
“But have you ever thought about it, reviving them is because they want to live, or because I want them to live?”
“Is there a difference?”
“Yes!”
“Rather bear all kinds of hardships, unwilling to leave the mortal world.”
“This is my path, but not theirs.”
“If they want to live, they have countless choices, but they chose d*ath.”
“I don’t want to disturb them, let alone drag them along with my weary heart.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s calm gaze, Zhang Zhenren laughed and scolded.
“d*mn it!”
“I really can’t stand you like this, why can you be so carefree?”
“On this point, I’m not as good as you, so the matter of fortune sealing divinity must proceed.”
“Do as you wish, after all, they are your subordinates and comrades, how you act is your own business.”
“I’ll just do what I need to do.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng pointed to the unconscious Heavenly Court cultivator on the ground and said,
“Tianxuan, from today onwards, you are their leader.”
“Next, you need to take them to the Western Continent, all demon clans must submit to the Heavenly Court.”
“Do you understand?”
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan immediately bowed his hands and said, “Your subordinate accepts the order!”
“Good, given your character, I believe you won’t disappoint me.”
“By the way, I have a pouch for you to hold, open it after we leave.”
After giving some instructions, Chen Changsheng led Chen Shisan away.
He didn’t say goodbye to anyone and didn’t tell anyone where he was going.
Watching the backs of Chen Changsheng and Chen Shisan, Zhang Zhenren smiled and said, “Scholar, is this guy always like this?”

“Mr. has always been like this.”
“What about the next three caves of heaven? I don’t have time to deal with these trivial matters.”
Hearing this, Nalan Xingde calmly replied, “These are minor matters, let the children handle them.”
“I’ll go first, there are still matters waiting for me in the Southern Wilderness.”
With that, Nalan Xingde also disappeared.
After three people left in succession, only Zhang Bairen and Tianxuan remained.
Looking at the somewhat lost Tianxuan, Zhang Bairen patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
“Young person, the life and d*ath of the remaining three caves of heaven depend on you, you can do it.”
Hearing this, Tianxuan was somewhat panicked.
“Senior, are you not going to deal with the caves of heaven anymore?”
“We won’t interfere!”
“We discuss the lives of several million cultivators, such small matters involving tens of thousands of people, you can decide on your own.”
“After resolving the affairs of the three caves of heaven, those three teams will also come under your command.”
“I’ll go ahead first!”
With that, Zhang Bairen also disappeared with a smile, leaving Tianxuan alone in the wind.
Tianxuan: “…”
This force should be close to the peak strength of the Xuan Bird Clan.
After regaining composure from shock, Tianxuan opened the pouch given by Chen Changsheng.
Inside the pouch was a letter and a note.
After reading the content on the note, Tianxuan sighed, “Mr., Mr.!”
“You’re still so meticulous in your planning. Perhaps only you can stabilize the Thirteenth’s mind.”
With that, Tianxuan began to awaken Shi Pan and the others on the ground.
…
“Mr., where are we going?”
“Western Continent.”
Hearing this answer, Chen Shisan asked in confusion, “Why go to the Western Continent? Is there something ominous in the Western Continent?”
“There’s nothing ominous in the Western Continent, we need to go there to meet someone.”
“Who?”
“Proud Snow Red Plum!”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan’s footsteps stopped abruptly.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “What’s wrong, are you afraid?”
“Not afraid, I just want to know why Mr. wants me to return.”
“Because this is your last chance to see her. After this, you need to go to a place.”
“And you will stay there for a very long time.”
“When you come out of that place, Proud Snow Red Plum will already be a handful of dust.”
“This is also your last chance to regret. Once you miss it, you will have no way back in this life.”
Facing these words, Chen Shisan fell silent for a breath.
“Mr., why do you keep giving me choices?”
“You are not the kind of indecisive person. You should know that I won’t regret.”
“I knew you wouldn’t regret, but I regretted. I don’t want you to d*e, nor do I want you to follow this path.”
“Is it because I resemble Mr.’s past self?”
Chen Shisan quietly said a sentence, and this time it was Chen Changsheng’s turn to fall silent.
“Why do you think so?”
“Because I am just as lonely as Mr., equally destitute.”
“We are both following a path, one whose outcome we already know.”
“Hahaha!”
“You little rascal, how can I be destitute?”
