Chapter 501: The Old Celestial Master’s Move, Chen Changsheng’s Choice
After mentioning the name of the drunken scholar, everyone suddenly found themselves in a bit of a dilemma.
Because this great deity, the drunken scholar, was not someone that just anyone could summon.
Mountain River Academy did not fall within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court’s influence.
The academy’s scholars and teachers joining the Heavenly Court was merely a personal choice; if they wanted to invite the drunken scholar to appear, a very influential person must step forward.
Thinking of this, Tu Jiao Jiao hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ll go invite the senior drunken scholar. After all, he is a companion of my master.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian spoke up, “Are you confident?”
“Whether I am or not, I have to try. After all, we are the helmsmen of this Crimson Realm now. Shouldn’t we act even if we aren’t sure?”
Upon hearing this response, Kong Xuan said, “Then go quickly and return quickly; the time before the two continents connect is drawing near.”
“If we can’t find a way to deal with the Drought Corpse, a shocking bl**d battle awaits us.”
“Understood.”
After saying this, Tu Jiao Jiao turned and left the large tent.
……
Dragon Tiger Mountain.
“Buzz!”
A large-scale teleportation array rose from the ground, and numerous cultivators emerged from the formation.
As they exited the teleportation array, the many cultivators began to set up signal towers and build defensive formations around Dragon Tiger Mountain.
“Tsuk!”
“This commotion seems a bit too big; can Dragon Tiger Mountain handle it?”
Chen Changsheng joked, and then turned to the Old Celestial Master beside him.
Hearing this, the Old Celestial Master smiled and said, “They are here as guests to Dragon Tiger Mountain; what can Dragon Tiger Mountain not handle?”
“If we can’t resolve even this minor issue, wouldn’t the situation at the merging of the continents be even more dangerous?”
“Additionally, you may have to leave for a while.”
“Why do you say that, Old Celestial Master?”
“I also don’t have a good solution for the Rain Life issue.”
“The Drought Corpse’s fate has already mixed together with Rain Life’s fate. To truly resolve this, a trip to the Land of Reincarnation is necessary.”
“Moreover, the fundamental issues of the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains also arise from the Land of Reincarnation. To avoid calamity, the Land of Reincarnation is the key.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Wait, are you implying that these troubles should be dealt with by me?”
“I don’t even know who I am right now, so isn’t it a bit forced for you to ask me to handle these issues?”
In the face of Chen Changsheng’s complaints, the Old Celestial Master smiled lightly and said, “You should already have an answer in your heart about wanting to go to the Land of Reincarnation.”
“Your problem lies within reincarnation. To regain your memories, you must take a trip to reincarnation.”
“And what if I don’t go?”
“Whether you go or not is up to you. Although the demon army is strong, it’s not too difficult for Dragon Tiger Mountain to protect you.”
Saying this, the Old Celestial Master handed Chen Changsheng a package.
“What is this?”
“It’s a small gift for your entry into the door. If you plan to leave Dragon Tiger Mountain, this might help you.”
After saying this, the Old Celestial Master vanished from the spot.
Looking at the package in his hand, Chen Changsheng remained silent for a long time.
……
“Phew~”
Zhang Yusheng poured water into the water tank, panting.
Just as he was preparing to go fetch more water, Chen Changsheng appeared behind him.
“Elder Brother Changsheng, why are you here?”
“Just bored, wandering around.”
“By the way, how do you find staying in Dragon Tiger Mountain these past few days?”
“It’s pretty good; everyone here is nice.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng pursed his lips and asked, “Yusheng, can I ask you a question?”
“Do you think I should seek out my past memories?”
“Elder Brother Changsheng, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Isn’t finding your memories something you’ve always wanted to do?”
“Finding my memories is indeed something I want to do, but my intuition tells me that after I find my memories, I’ll be very tired.”
“I feel like my current life is good enough; there’s no need to add more worries to myself.”
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Zhang Yusheng set down the water bucket and said, “Elder Brother Changsheng, as long as a person lives in this world, there will always be countless worries.”
“For instance, for me, just living a simple life is already extremely difficult.”
“Unless I choose to d*e, I will always have worries.”
“I can’t really give any profound reasoning on this subject, but I think everyone feels this way.”
“Even those powerful figures high above will have their own worries.”
“So if Elder Brother Changsheng wants to live without worries, that’s impossible.”
After receiving this answer, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “That’s true; who in this world can live without worries?”
“Every family has its own troubles; some people just seem to be doing well on the surface.”
“Since I can’t escape my worries, I might as well find my past memories.”
“Only then can I find my former friends.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng patted Zhang Yusheng’s shoulder.
“Put down the water bucket; let’s go.”
“Are we going now?”
“If we’re not going now, when do you want to wait until?”
“But the area below has already been surrounded by the army.”
“Don’t worry; the Old Celestial Master will clear a path for us. The name of the Old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain is not just for show.”
“Your grandfather left Dragon Tiger Mountain, firstly because he wanted you to be born, and secondly because he couldn’t match up to this junior brother.”
“Elder Brother Changsheng, did the Old Celestial Master tell you these things?”
“I’m just guessing.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng directly pulled Zhang Yusheng down the mountain.
Watching the two of them gradually moving away, the Old Celestial Master smiled and stroked his beard.
“Girl, what do you think these two will uncover on their journey?”
Hearing this, Yun He scoffed lightly and said, “Does the Old Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain really need to ask someone like me?”
“Ha ha ha!”
“You’re a child; your thoughts are even more rigid than this old man’s.”
“There is no absolute in this world; evil spirits aren’t necessarily synonymous with bad people.”
“The Nine Domains and the Eight Desolates are two variables that border each other.”
“As for whether this variable is good or bad, it depends on how the people from the two worlds act.”
“But we, the Eight Desolates, also cannot let the Nine Domains look down on us, right?”
Upon hearing the Old Celestial Master’s words, Yun He replied coolly, “Based on my perception, there are at least thirty strong individuals in the Celestial Fairy Realm below.”
“According to the new rankings promulgated by the Heavenly Court, there are five in the Celestial Fairy Realm, ten in the Earth Immortal Realm, ten in the Profound Immortal Realm, and fifteen in the Yellow Immortal Realm.”
“With so many strong individuals gathered together, are you confident?”
Facing Yun He’s doubt, the Old Celestial Master smiled and said, “These names sound impressive, but they don’t scare me.”
“Are you that confident?”
“It’s not a matter of confidence; when the Sea of Suffering System appeared in the Eight Desolates, the highest realm name was also the Immortal Sovereign Realm.”
“As time passed, I lost track of what realm I had reached; I only know that back then, no Immortal Sovereign Realm had been my opponent.”
