Chapter 276: Zhang Zhenren, Expelled from the Sect, and Chen Changsheng: Still One Sword Spirit Short
After listening to Zhang Zhenren’s words, Chen Changsheng fell silent.
After a long while, Chen Changsheng softly said, “Is it worth it?”
“This question is peculiar. In my opinion, such behavior is irrational.”
“Those spirits at the bottom, they’re like the weeds on the ground, a batch dies, and another batch grows back.”
“Perhaps I might cherish a particular patch of grass that I planted and nurtured with care, but I would never place myself in danger for an entire field of grass.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at Zhang Zhenren.
“Wu Li attacking Ascension Road without regard for the rules will disrupt everyone’s plans.”
“If the plans are gone, then those guys hiding in the shadows will have to fight for real.”
“Although their war will affect some spirits, those spirits will escape the fate of being mere chess pieces.”
“Yes.”
“Such behavior is very annoying and quite laughable.”
“But that doesn’t prevent everyone from respecting Emperor Huangtian.”
“Calling for the survival of the world is easy to say, but incredibly difficult to do.”
“Even more ridiculous is that this impossible task has actually allowed him to succeed.”
“With half of Ascension Road breached, some people’s minds have begun to change.”
“Among the Upper and Lower Realms, some people have already begun supporting the breach of Ascension Road.”
Faced with Zhang Zhenren’s words, Chen Changsheng calmly stood up.
“Since some support breaching Ascension Road, then let’s take action quickly.”
“The fact that you came here today means you are prepared.”
“Hahaha!”
“Talking to smart people is easy; you already know what I’m thinking without saying it.”
As he spoke, Zhang Zhenren stood up, clapping his hands, and said, “A year from now, I will restart Ascension Road, so be prepared.”
“Also, since today’s mood is good, I can answer some of your questions.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng pondered for a moment before speaking up.
“Well, I actually have two small questions I want to ask you.”
“Go ahead.”
“First, you said you are the disciple of the Defeated Celestial Sovereign.”
“But when we were on Ascension Road, I saw you two didn’t seem like a party.”
“I am indeed a disciple of the Defeated Celestial Sovereign, but I was expelled from the sect, so I’m not on the same side with him.”
“Not taking advantage of the situation against Wu Li and the Defeated Celestial Sovereign on Ascension Road was due to my past friendship with them.”
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Changsheng sized up Zhang Zhenren in front of him.
“Looking at it this way, you have other backgrounds.”
“Haha!”
“Who doesn’t have some background these days? What about you, Chen Changsheng?”
“Fair point.”
“The second question: Why are you attacking Ascension Road?”
“Wu Li calls for the survival of the world; what about you?”
Faced with this question, Zhang Zhenren looked up and thought for a moment, then smiled broadly.
“This question is not easy to clarify quickly, and besides, I cannot tell you.”
“But I can share some small reasons.”
“In the Upper Realm, there’s a joke: Heavenly Mandate Holders are invincible under heaven, but once they come to ‘the heavens,’ they can only lie down.”
At these words, Chen Changsheng raised an eyebrow.
“Is it that arrogant?”
“Exactly that arrogant.”
“The organization I established is called ‘Heavenly Court.’ Since that’s the name, it naturally has to surpass all worlds, wouldn’t you say?”
“What you say makes sense.”
Chen Changsheng chuckled and then led Thirteen into the God and Demon Cemetery.
Watching the two backs, Zhang Zhenren smiled faintly, then vanished from the spot.

God and Demon Cemetery.
Chen Changsheng slowly wove through the gravestones, while Chen Shisan closely followed at his heels.
After an unknown duration, Chen Changsheng stopped.
“Xiancha, if you still want to persuade me, there’s no need.”
Before Chen Changsheng could speak, Chen Shisan said softly.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng pulled out a bottle from his pocket and handed it over.
“Essence of all things, can revive the dead.”
“If you don’t take action, with its help, you can still live well.”
“Once you act, the essence of all things won’t save you, and neither will I.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan smiled and said, “Thanks, Xiancha. I’ll take the item, and I will definitely go to Ascension Road.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng first froze, then laughed.
“You little brat, making it obvious you want to seek d*ath—what’s the point of wasting this item?”
“You really don’t care about selling your father’s land, do you?”
“This isn’t my fault; it’s clearly Xiancha being unfair.”
“You already gave treasures to Meng Yu and Tianxuan, and here I am empty-handed!”
“Since Xiancha won’t give, why can’t I just take it myself?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng immediately jumped up.
“How can you say such words? The Buddha Kingdom’s virtue pool is currently crafting weapons for you.”
“These two items, which one isn’t a rare treasure? What more do you want?”
“You really don’t know how hard it is to manage resources unless you’re in charge. Do you think everything I have comes for free?”
Chen Changsheng reprimanded Chen Shisan harshly, spitting on Chen Shisan’s face.
At first glance, it looked like a father reprimanding his son for squandering his wealth.
After a long while, when Chen Changsheng’s anger subsided, he looked at Thirteen, who was bowing his head to take the scolding, and solemnly patted his shoulder.
“Weapons and magic treasures are external items; they should be cherished when needed; don’t be petty.”
“As Xiancha, you still have some assets; don’t be stingy.”
“Now that you’re grown up, some circumstances can only rely on yourself.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng turned and waved, “Come with me; let me show you the weapon I’m forging for you.”
…..
Deep in the God and Demon Cemetery.
A towering furnace was exuding intense heat.
Inside the furnace, molten magma flowed, and if observed closely, two golden pages could be seen.
Seeing this, Chen Shisan curiously asked, “Xiancha, what is this?”
“Xuanhuang Gold, said to be one of the nine divine golds, and also a key material for a supreme technique.”
“If it’s a key material for a technique, why are you melting it? That’s such a waste!”
“If I don’t melt it, how can I forge you a divine weapon?”
“I’ve obtained three of these golden pages in total.”
“One of them was damaged into two halves and used as a token, so I could only melt the other two.”
“Besides that, I’ve mixed in some other materials as well.”
“I’ve prepared most of the necessary materials, but there’s one item I have yet to find.”
“What item?”
“A sword spirit!”
“A sword spirit that can control this sword.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan’s body trembled.
“Does Xiancha have a target in mind?”
“No!”
“Also, don’t let your imagination run wild; even ten Meng Yus thrown in can’t control this sword.”
Chen Shisan: “……”
I really don’t know what to say anymore.
