Chapter 283: Leisurely Living, Chen Changsheng: Can’t I Enjoy a Bit?
Upper Realm, Ling Cangzhou.
“The sun is high and I’m still sleeping alone, who is the immortal? I am the immortal~”
A lazy voice came from a large tree, and one could see a young man lying comfortably on a tree branch.
It seemed he had just woken up from his sleep.
“d*mn god, get down quickly!”
“Bang!”
The angry rebuke interrupted this moment of leisure, and the young man on the tree branch was so startled that he fell off.
Although the tree branch wasn’t far from the ground, it was enough to make the young man look disheveled.
“Manager Wang, at least I’m a scholar, can you please be a bit more gentle.”
“Gentle? I want to k*ll someone right now.”
“You were hired as a reading companion because you knew a few words.”
“Now Young Master has been in class for an hour, and there’s not even a trace of him.”
Hearing this, the young man scratched his head and said, “Young Master is very smart, he learns things at first glance, so there’s no need for me to teach him.”
“Phew!”
“You think you can teach Young Master? Dream on.”
“Your job is to stay by Young Master’s side, serve tea, and do errands. Do you understand?”
“I don’t know what kind of nonsense you have in your head. Come with me to see Young Master now.”
“If Master finds out about this, you’ll be fired.”
With that, Manager Wang dragged the young man away hurriedly.
…
Wang Family Academy.
The sound of children reading filled the courtyard. A group of three and four-year-old children were reciting the Thousand Character Classic.
Two figures sneaked in quietly.
“Good thing Young Master hasn’t finished class yet. From now on, you must stay here. If you dare to run around again, Chen Changsheng, you will be punished.”
Facing Manager Wang’s instructions, Chen Changsheng nodded obediently.
After Manager Wang left, Chen Changsheng glanced at the young masters reading in the academy, then checked his system panel.
[Host: Chen Changsheng]
[Strength: 320 (Divine Bridge Realm)]
[Speed: 450 (Divine Bridge Realm)]
[Defense: 6440 (Bone Transformation Realm)]
[Spiritual Power: 380 (Divine Bridge Realm)]
[Lifespan: 5120]
Facing the data on the system panel, Chen Changsheng said,
“System, you know, after my realm dropped, I feel much lighter.”
“At least I don’t have to worry about some mysterious existence suddenly killing me.”
Hearing this, the electronic voice in Chen Changsheng’s mind responded.
“Host, this system does not quite understand such dangerous behavior.”
“In the cultivation world, powerful cultivation is the first factor in ensuring one’s life. Based on your experience, your current cultivation level is no different from a mortal.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and smiled.
“System, your words make sense, but there’s a difference between real life and data analysis.”
“Having great strength naturally means having great enemies.”
“When your strength is weak, the enemies you encounter are also likely to be weak.”
“But the host already has powerful enemies, while your own strength is the weakest.”

“Once they discover you, you will…”
“But they won’t be able to find me!”
Before the system could finish its sentence, Chen Changsheng interrupted with a proud look.
“The best way to hide a leaf is to put it back in the forest.”
“Hiding among countless low-level cultivators, no one can find me.”
“Whether it’s the strong people on the Ascension Road or the mysterious beings in the Forbidden Ground, they all have a flaw: they are too easy to detect.”
“Even if they suppress and seal their power, there will always be fluctuations and traces left behind.”
“With enough time, they can probably find me.”
“But they cannot solve this problem because they dare not easily dissipate their cultivation, as it would result in d*ath.”
“But I am different. I don’t need cultivation to extend my lifespan.”
“As long as I find a secluded corner to sleep for a few thousand years, wait for my cultivation to dissipate naturally, and then blend into this bustling world, I can completely disappear from their sight.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s ‘ingenious’ thoughts, the system fell silent for a moment, then said,
“Host’s plan is clever, though dangerous, it is precisely in the blind spot of those beings’ vision.”
“However, according to data analysis, your actions are not just to avoid people’s attention. You have other purposes.”
“After waking up, you have roamed the Upper Realm for forty-four years.”
“What are you trying to achieve?”
“Travel.”
“Travel?”
The system paused, clearly not understanding Chen Changsheng’s answer.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng pouted, “What, after working hard for so many years, can’t I enjoy myself?”
“The expanse of the Upper Realm is more than ten times that of the Lower Realm. So far, I haven’t explored the boundaries of this world.”
“Coming to such a prosperous world, I should at least have a good time.”
“This world is not just mine. I’ve done what needed to be done, and I’ve also done what shouldn’t have been done.”
“The burdens ahead will naturally be carried by those who adapt to the times. I can’t spend my days worrying about the safety of all living beings.”
“So my purpose in coming to the Upper Realm is simple: to travel and explore, and to study the secrets of longevity in the Upper Realm.”
“Based on these years of observation, I found that the Upper Realm’s obsession with longevity far exceeds that of the Lower Realm.”
“And in terms of longevity, the Upper Realm has actually discovered something interesting.”
After hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the system spoke, “Is the host studying longevity to extend the lives of old friends?”
“Yes!”
“Having lost so many old friends, my heart aches.”
“Although I know that immortality is impossible, I can still try.”
“Even if it fails, it’s just a waste of time, which is insignificant to me.”
“It seems the host’s understanding of time has advanced.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“This isn’t a compliment; it’s a description of the facts.”
“Also, although the host’s words are perfect, do you really have no doubts about the Upper Realm?”
“Yes!”
“And there are many.”
“I’m curious where the Wu Li went, whether there are other worlds beyond the Upper Realm, what the secret of Heavenly Mandate is, and where the Unlucky come from.”
“These questions have been troubling me, but so what?”
“Who in the world can be omniscient? Who doesn’t have doubts in their heart?”
“I know myself quite well. I’m not a genius like Wu Li who opens up an era.”
“I’m also not Chen Shisan, who stubbornly stakes everything on one bet.”
