Chapter 404: To Solve the Bell, One Must First Find the Bell Ringer, the Awkward “Bai Ze”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng walked away with his hands behind his back.
Seeing Chen Changsheng leave, Ye Yongxian also walked away.
As they watched the back of this Master Shiquan, Xu Hu and Hu Yan felt an unprecedented sense of security for the first time.
Although they were not familiar with him and had never known him before, it seemed that as long as he, Chen Changsheng, was alive, they would never have to worry about an unresolved situation arising.
Thinking of this, Hu Yan spoke up: “Auntie, who exactly is he…”
“This is not a question for you to ask.”
Before Hu Yan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Hu Tudou.
“You just need to remember, he is the person in this world who protects you.”
“When you have reached the point where you understand my words fully, it will mean you have reached the peak.”
After saying this, Hu Tudou turned to leave, leaving Xu Hu and the others standing in place.
…
Under the big tree.
Chen Changsheng lay quietly there, occasionally letting out a sigh.
At that moment, a voice came from beside him.
“Tsk tsk!”
“It’s only been a few days, and you, Chen Changsheng, have learned to sigh.”
Glancing at the “Silver Moon Wolf” beside him, Chen Changsheng replied calmly.
“You’re a bit slow coming to the academy now.”
“Slow work yields fine results. It’s better to take it slow.”
“Also, don’t be too angry, this isn’t their fault; they’re just a bunch of kids, what do they know?”
“If anyone should be held accountable, it should be their elders.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng suddenly sat up.
“I know the main responsibility for this situation doesn’t lie with them; it’s indeed a bit forced to expect them to understand the consequences of self-harm.”
“But I just can’t swallow this resentment. You tell me, what did Wu Li and the others shed bl**d for?”
“Isn’t it just to allow future generations to cultivate freely without the constraints of those bastards?”
“Think about it, during the Two Realms era, the Lower Realm was a place where spirits were kept by the Upper Realm.”
“Wu Li and I broke this cage after enduring two eras, sacrificing countless people in the process.”
“Later, when we arrived at the Three Thousand Continents, those old fossils still shat upon the spirits of the world.”
“Any spirit wanting to reach the peak had to go through their approval.”
“Tianxuan was filled with hatred for these chess-playing fools, which is why he launched the war between the Two Realms at all costs.”
“The result was countless old fossils dying in battle, and the shackles on the spirits of the world were loosened once more.”
“In the end, when the Cataclysm War broke out, Tianxuan fought valiantly and perished, while others nearly lost their lives as well.”
“After paying such a painful price, we finally pushed back those more powerful manipulators.”
“Now, looking across the world, no one is restricting this realm; the spirits of this world are free, freer than ever.”
“But they foolishly squandered that freedom; tell me, doesn’t that make me angry?”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s complaint, Bai Ze smiled faintly and replied.
“That’s inevitable. Who told Zhang Bairen to create something like the Thunder Tribulation?”
“A little mistake from the kids is enough to teach them a lesson; it’s no reason to give up entirely, and you wouldn’t give up on them either.”
“Because you care about them the most. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be this angry.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng pouted.
“Who said I care about them? They’re just a bunch of little bastards. Let them do as they please.”
“You’re just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. If you didn’t care, you would have left like Yongxian.”
“Until this group ages and then re-emerges.”
“But you didn’t do that; not only did you choose to stay, but you also found a way to keep Yongxian here.”
“So, you are the one who cares about them the most.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng glanced at “Bai Ze” again and said lightly.
“Just don’t speak to me like you’re Bai Ze; it feels awkward.”
“I was still wondering why you kept hiding and wouldn’t show yourself; even your disciple mysteriously disappeared.”
“Now I realize you must have caused a huge catastrophe and are too embarrassed to see me.”
“The teacher said it rightly; in this situation, Nalan has no face to meet the teacher.”
“All the faults fall upon me; I only seek the teacher’s help for the benefit of all living beings.”
After looking at the “Bai Ze” in front of him for a long time in silence, Chen Changsheng said.
“Self-harming one’s foundation is something that cannot be reversed.”
“I might have some unique means to help one or two people defy fate, but I can’t help everyone.”
“If you want to solve this problem for all living beings, there is only one way.”
“What way?”
“Walk the ‘Sea of Suffering’ again!”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Most cultivators currently have flawed foundations; whether repairing or rebuilding, it can’t be seamlessly integrated.”
“Also, there is only one ‘spring eye’, and the foundation cannot be completely rebuilt.”
“The only way is to give birth to a new foundation within the existing foundation.”
“In simpler terms, it’s about giving birth to another ‘spring eye’ from this ‘spring eye.'”
Upon hearing this answer, “Bai Ze” furrowed his brows.
“This method is as difficult as reaching the heavens. Not to mention if one can even create such a method.”
“Even if it could be created, how many people in the world could cultivate it?”
“Isn’t that perfect?”
“Those ordinary people afraid of being accidentally harmed by the Thunder Tribulation can self-harm, and the cultivation below the Immortal Sovereign Realm is enough for them.”
“Those who want to climb to greater heights, Heavenly Prodigies, can face the Thunder Tribulation with this secret method.”
“But I don’t have time for that; I need to resolve the Thunder Tribulation problem.”
“So you’ll need to find someone who knows the Sea of Suffering System very well.”
At this point, Chen Changsheng paused and looked at Bai Ze.
“By the way, you should be a companion spirit, right?”
“Yes, my spiritual sense contacted me yesterday.”
“That’s good. Find Wu Li, and you two should work together to solve this problem.”
“And I must resolve the Thunder Tribulation thoroughly before you create this secret method.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light flew out from Bai Ze’s body, transforming into Nalan Xingde.
Nalan Xingde bowed to Chen Changsheng and said, “Then I entrust the fate of the world to you.”
After saying that, Nalan Xingde vanished, and Bai Ze returned to his original demeanor.
“I really can’t understand it. Why not just say things clearly instead of going around in circles?”
“Chen Changsheng, you really have a good temper.”
“If it were me, I’d want to beat those little brats to a pulp.”
Chen Changsheng: “…”
Now that’s more like it; this is the style of Little Black, before it felt so awkward.
