Chapter 469: The Price of Twenty Thousand Years, Chen Shisan: Swords Are Not Used This Way
Listening to Chen Changsheng recite each name, Batu Lu’s lips curled into a smile.
“In this world, only you still remember their names.”
“Isn’t it tiring to carry so many people’s names?”
“Of course it is tiring, but I can’t bear to forget them.”
“Hahaha!”
“What a pity.”
Batu Lu laughed several times, then glanced in Su Wan’er’s direction and said,
“There’s still some time, won’t you offer me a cup of tea?”
“I’ve always wanted to try your undertaker’s bitter tea.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng smiled, “My casually grown tea has become so famous already?”
“That’s right. Supreme Saint, Emperor Huangtian, Jade Emperor, Demon Emperor, all have praised your tea highly.”
“A while ago, there was a rogue who came to show off with your bitter tea.”
“Inside the forbidden ground, someone almost cut down the Enlightenment Tree out of anger.”
Upon hearing these words, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and took out the tea table and utensils.
In a moment, a pot of steaming bitter tea was ready.
“Swish!”
Several streams of water flew towards the Ancient Forbidden Ground.
Chen Changsheng and Batu Lu each picked up a cup of hot tea.
The warm tea in their mouths slowly spread an indescribable bitterness.
Looking down at the cup in his hand, Batu Lu muttered, “Why do people like such bitter tea?”
“People who drink this bitter tea are not tasting the tea in the cup, but their own lives.”
“Even if the tea in the cup is bitter, how can it be more bitter than the unpredictable life?”
“After experiencing the bitterness of life, the tea in the cup naturally becomes as sweet as candy.”
After listening, Batu Lu poured himself another cup of hot tea.
This time, Batu Lu closed his eyes and savored it carefully, then opened his mouth and said,
“This is indeed the best tea in the world.”
“Only regrettable that the taste of the tea you and I drink is different.”
Facing Batu Lu’s words, Chen Changsheng smiled and sipped his tea, saying,
“A thousand people drinking tea will not taste the same, ten thousand people drinking tea will not share the same heart.”
“You and I are different, naturally the taste is different.”
“Can I ask you a few questions after drinking my tea?”
“Go ahead.”
“Mei Yongsi is related to the Unlucky, he ran away during the god-sealing battle, but I didn’t encounter him on the Ascension Road.”
“Is he still hiding in the Sacred Forbidden Ground?”
Hearing this, Batu Lu said calmly, “You haven’t gathered all twenty of the Bronze Ancient Palaces yet.”
“How can you be sure that the place related to the Unlucky is only the Sacred Forbidden Ground?”
“There is logic to it.”
“Second question.”
“Some people told me that there are many people in this world, conservative people, reformers, people with ulterior motives…”
“The Three Thousand Continents are probably those conservative people because they follow rules and are set in their ways.”
“I really want to know who you are and who Nalan Fuyao is.”
Facing this question, Batu Lu slowly put down his teacup and said,
“Nalan Fuyao and I being who we are isn’t important; what matters is that we are all your enemies.”
“Why?”
Warm reminder: There are functions such as “Switch between Simplified and Traditional Chinese,” “Adjust Font Size,” and “Read Background Color” in the top right corner of the page.

“Because we all want to use this world for something. Whoever leads this world is our enemy.”
“According to your logic, if I weren’t here, would your enemy be Nalan Fuyao?”
“Yes.”
“But your attitude doesn’t seem very firm; otherwise, you wouldn’t just send these few rats over.”
“Correct.”
“Would the Ancient Forbidden Ground fear Nalan Fuyao?”
“You are already in a high position; you should know that from this position, there is no fear of anyone.”
“To deal with someone, the only difference is the price paid.”
“If the Ancient Forbidden Ground wants to deal with you, it might need to pay a price of ten thousand years.”
“But to deal with Nalan Fuyao, the Ancient Forbidden Ground needs to pay a price of twenty thousand years.”
Upon receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“Ten thousand years’ price, you really think highly of me.”
“But Nalan Fuyao is twice my price, aren’t you undervaluing me too much?”
“I don’t think Nalan Fuyao would personally come out for this lifetime’s Heavenly Mandate.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s disbelief, Batu Lu said calmly, “You always create miracles. By common sense, you shouldn’t have made it this far.”
“At the first Ascension Road battle, the astonishingly ancient Emperor Huangtian protected you, even the Ancient Forbidden Ground stood behind you.”
“At the second Ascension Road battle, the Jade Emperor regarded you as a close friend, and the Supreme Saint was always by your side. In the end, a miracle emerged, the Sword God appeared.”
“In the End-of-the-World battle, the Demon Emperor sacrificed his life to shield you from all troubles, and another group fought to the d*ath to protect you.”
“But now, who can still protect you?”
“Emperor Huangtian is indeed stunningly ancient, and the Sword God can make the world’s heroes bow their heads.”
“But how many Sword Gods and Emperor Huangtiens are there in this world?”
“The little peacock below isn’t qualified to protect you.”
“Chen Changsheng, yield this lifetime.”
Facing Batu Lu’s heartfelt advice, Chen Changsheng spoke,
“Every great calamity comes, I always feel I will d*e, but my luck seems to be good, I never d*e.”
“Prosperity, fame, wealth, and divinity mean nothing to me. I don’t care whether I can dominate the world; I just want to guard some things for some people.”
“So many people died, so much cost was spent to drive you out, I can’t let the world repeat its mistakes.”
“So no one can touch this clean world.”
Looking at Chen Changsheng’s clear eyes, Batu Lu finally gave up on persuading him.
“Alright, if Chen Changsheng could be persuaded to step back, he wouldn’t have reached this point.”
“Let’s see the real thing under our hands.”
“I never had the chance to fight you properly before, this is my lifelong regret.”
“Let me experience again your dazzling fist technique and the once ‘Law of Heaven and Earth.'”
“No problem,” Chen Changsheng nodded and agreed: “But you have to wait for me to summon someone.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng turned to look at Su Wan’er and said, “Wan’er, unleash the sword in your heart.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan’er’s gaze sharpened, and snowflakes condensed around her.
“Snow falls in the human world!”
The snow that disappeared for nearly ten thousand years returned, and the familiar sword intent was sensed by someone.
“Swish!”
“Snow Falls in the Human World” forced back Su Wan’er’s opponent. However, when Su Wan’er wanted to continue her attack with her sword, two fingers pinched the blade.
“Swords are not used this way.”
An old farmer slowly took the broken sword Jing Hong from Su Wan’er’s hand and casually waved it.
“Swish!”
A powerful sword intent directly severed three layers of patterns in the Ancient Forbidden Ground, and the vast Ancient Forbidden Ground retreated thirty miles.
