Chapter 331: Unattainable Things, Unencounterable People
Potential Dragon Continent.
“Whoosh!”
Chen Changsheng and Ziyan appeared on the territory of Potential Dragon Continent.
Looking around at the unfamiliar environment, Ziyan raised her head and asked, “Xiancha, now you and the Jiaolong clan are sworn enemies.”
“Will they destroy the graves of the uncles and grandfathers?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“If they weren’t sworn enemies, they might still have some scruples, but now that you are sworn enemies, what do they have to fear?”
Facing Ziyan’s confusion, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “The eight hundred Tiger Cavalry are not buried there.”
“What I just mentioned was an illusion. Beneath that tomb lies a massive explosion Array Formation.”
“Whoever destroys the tomb will be blown to the sky.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ziyan’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Xiancha, is this the strategy in military tactics that one shouldn’t underestimate deception?”
“Yes.”
“To put it in a cruder way, it’s just shamelessness.”
“Who would expect that a person like me would play such tricks?”
“Boom!”
As they were talking, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Turning to look, they saw a mushroom cloud rising in the distance.
“Tsk tsk!”
“These mud loaches are truly wicked, actually disturbing the peace of the deceased.”
Looking at the mushroom cloud in the distance, Chen Changsheng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ziyan spoke up, “Xiancha, are we now going to find Qiongqi Tomb? Essentially, our purpose is the same as theirs.”
“With this purpose, what kind of reasoning should we use to explain it?”
Looking at Ziyan’s serious inquiry, Chen Changsheng’s lips curled up.
“In terms of studying knowledge, you and your father are very similar; thankfully, you didn’t inherit your mother’s personality.”
“Your mother’s mind is, aside from fighting, pretty sharp.”
“If it weren’t for me bringing your father and mother together, how could there be you!”
“We’re going to find Qiongqi Tomb, not to disturb the graves, but rather to explore the ruins.”
“Is there a difference?”
“There isn’t too much difference; any ruins are left behind in the river of time.”
“To say they are larger tombs is not wrong; exploring ruins is merely a more pleasant term.”
“Got it!”
Ziyan nodded in realization, then took out a small notebook and started jotting things down.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng walked ahead, while Ziyan closely followed in his footsteps.
“Xiancha, are we now going to find Qiongqi Tomb?”
“Not yet; we will first survey the terrain of Potential Dragon Continent.”
“As the saying goes, to know oneself and know one’s enemy is to win a hundred battles. In the time to come, Potential Dragon Continent will be the battlefield.”
“The Jiaolong clan has a stronghold here, possessing the advantage of ‘terrain.’ We need to weaken this advantage as much as possible.”
As Chen Changsheng walked, he answered Ziyan’s various questions.
Suddenly, Ziyan casually asked, “Xiancha, can you not seal me again?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng stopped in his tracks.
“Why do you ask this question?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s gaze, Ziyan calmly replied, “From your tone and words earlier, it seems you don’t want Ziyan to show up right now.”
“So I think you might seal me again.”
“Yes, you guessed right.”
“Then can I choose not to take this path?”
“Absolutely not!”
“Why not?”
“Because you are the hope of an era, and also a witness to an era.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng pointed around and said, “Look at this Upper Realm; it has changed little for so long.”
“When change comes, it will be a battle capable of destroying the world.”
“The collision between the Upper Realm and Lower Realm, aside from being about some other factors, is more about the cycle of the world.”
“The Ascension Road has been locked, halting this cycle.”
“But Emperor Huangtian and the Jade Emperor opened the Ascension Road again, and this cycle resumed.”
“When the great war arrives, only a few will survive.”
“In the era of Emperor Huangtian, among everyone related to the Purple House Sacred Ground, only your mother and your grandfather left you.”
“In the era of the Jade Emperor, there were also very few who were left behind.”
“People are remembered, and geese leave sounds.”
“If you all were to d*e, then these two eras would truly disappear, perhaps becoming mere legends in people’s mouths.”
“So for your uncles and grandfathers, you must live on and continue this era.”
Hearing this, Ziping lowered her head in contemplation and said, “How long do I have to be sealed?”
“For the next era; to be precise, you can only emerge when everything has been destroyed.”
“How long will that take?”
“I don’t know; each era has its length, and no one can be certain.”
“It could be a few thousand years, or perhaps tens of thousands of years, even hundreds of thousands of years.”
“However, even if I use the top-level Longevity bl**d Stone to seal you, I have no way to completely resist the erosion of time.”
“One hundred thousand years is the limit of the Longevity bl**d Stone. If after one hundred thousand years the great war has not ended, then you can only be born into the world.”
“And this also means that the era of Emperor Huangtian will come to a complete end.”
After hearing this, Ziping looked at Chen Changsheng with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
“Sir, what about you?”
“Can you seal yourself with the Longevity bl**d Stone?”
“I cannot,” Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, “The stronger the strength, the less effective the Longevity bl**d Stone becomes.”
“My current strength cannot be sealed by the Longevity bl**d Stone, nor can your father and mother.”
“So during these one hundred thousand years, I need to gradually finish it myself.”
“For those powerful cultivators, the Longevity bl**d Stone can at most allow them to prolong their lives a little when their energy runs out.”
“That sounds really painful.”
“Yes, so I cannot represent an era, because I do not belong to any era.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng continued to walk forward while Ziping remained rooted to the spot.
“Sir!”
Ziping called out to Chen Changsheng.
“Is there a problem?”
“What exactly is trapping you?”
“Although you seem carefree, I feel like you are tightly bound by something.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and looked up at the sky as he spoke.
“Unattainable things, unencounterable people, the time that cannot be stopped, and memories that cannot be forgotten.”
As the words fell, Chen Changsheng continued to move forward, and his silhouette appeared so lonely.
On this long road, he was always walking alone.
Everyone else was merely a fleeting passerby in his life.
Thinking this, Ziping clicked her tongue and said, “The outside world is indeed different from Mountain River Academy.”
“What a pity, the era that belongs to me won’t begin for a long, long time.”
After saying this, Ziping caught up with Chen Changsheng’s pace.
The large and small figures slowly moved down the path, their silhouettes resembling what once was, yet like the beginning of anew.
