Chapter 530: The End of the Journey, Eggs and Buns
After the master of the art passed the scroll to Chen Changsheng, the aged Drunken Scholar turned and left.
Watching the back of the Drunken Scholar, Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: “Even though I am very angry, I have never blamed you for your thoughts.”
Hearing this, the Drunken Scholar stopped in his tracks and smiled slightly.
“Sir wouldn’t blame Mountain River Academy, but I cannot forgive myself.”
“Teacher doesn’t need to; I am the highest-ranking person in Mountain River Academy.”
“If something happens at Mountain River Academy, all the responsibility falls on me.”
“Having severed the path for all living beings, I feel ashamed before my mentor, and even more ashamed before the sages who gave their lives for this world.”
“Today, I will atone for my sins with d*ath; this is my little compensation.”
After saying this, the Drunken Scholar slowly left the battlefield.
What the current Drunken Scholar wanted most was to complete one last task, which was to see the person he held in his heart.
…
In the distance.
“Third Senior Brother!”
Seeing the appearance of the Drunken Scholar, Ziyan felt a knot tighten in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, the seventy-two senior brothers had cared for him meticulously.
In Ziyan’s heart, they had long been regarded as family.
Now, waking up to find that only three of his family members remained, and witnessing the departure of yet another relative, was an unbearable pain.
At this moment, he only wanted to rush to the battlefield to vent the anger in his heart.
But Hu Tudou firmly held onto him.
“Mother, let go of me! I want to take revenge for Third Senior Brother!”
“Smack!”
Seeing Ziyan struggle more violently, Hu Tudou immediately slapped him.
The sudden slap rendered Ziyan momentarily stunned.
“Ziyan, listen clearly.”
“Since you call me mother, I have the right to discipline you.”
“If you want to take revenge, I won’t stop you, but do you know who killed the Drunken Scholar?”
“If you can’t even figure out who your enemy is and just rush onto the battlefield to vent your anger, what difference is there between you and a madman?”
“It’s easy to live in ignorance, but if you want to live with clarity, you must get used to this kind of pain.”
Seeing Ziyan still dazed, Su Wan’er immediately embraced him.
“Sister Hu, let’s talk this through; why resort to violence?”
Feeling Su Wan’er’s embrace, Ziyan’s mental defenses finally crumbled.
He broke down in tears in Su Wan’er’s arms.
Facing the sobbing Ziyan, Hu Tudou felt an unexpected pang of heartache.
Ziyan’s first appearance in the world was at the Qiongqi Tomb event in the Three Thousand Continents. After a fleeting moment, he had been sealed away by Chen Changsheng.
It had only been today that he emerged again.
No matter how wise or perfect he was, at this moment, he was ultimately a fifteen-year-old young man.
Waking up to find his parents gone and his seventy-two close friends dwindling away — this was a pretty cruel burden for such a young boy to bear.
Thinking of this, Hu Tudou gently stroked Ziyan’s head and said, “Alright, I was wrong just now. I apologize to you.”
Hearing this, Ziyan choked back his tears and said, “Mother, I can’t bear the loss of Third Senior Brother.”
“It’s been so long since I came out, and I haven’t even seen them.”
“I know, once this is over, I will take you to see them.”
Upon hearing this, Ziyan bravely wiped away his tears and said, “Mother, I understand what you mean.”
“I won’t cry again; I will strive to be the strongest, most perfect person in the world.”
“I believe in you; Ziyan will definitely become the strongest, most perfect person in the world.”

In the Reincarnation Battlefield.
Countless people gave their all, and all the calculations and plans ultimately brought Tianxuan and Chen Shisan before the face of reincarnation.
Looking at the unfathomable pit ahead, Tianxuan smiled faintly and said, “Thirteen, we’ve reached our end.”
“Yes, we have reached our end.”
“Do you remember the question I once asked you?”
“I remember.”
“What should we do now?”
“I plan to have some buns up ahead.”
Facing that reply, Tianxuan’s lips curled up in a smile.
“You misunderstood my meaning; I mean, why are we heading down this way?”
“To eat some buns.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing that familiar response, Tianxuan laughed heartily, a sound strong enough to shake the entire realm of reincarnation.
“To take a bite of steaming buns, to travel through mountains and lakes, and to draw a sword for the mentor.”
“All this way, you, Chen Shisan, remain unchanged.”
“But I, Tianxuan, am not lacking either. I have reached the same end point as you.”
Saying this, Tianxuan looked at Shisan.
“This time, there are no buns up ahead; your wish is unfulfilled.”
Regarding Tianxuan’s teasing, Shisan glanced at him and said, “I know, so I brought my own.”
With a flip of his hand, two steaming buns appeared in his palm.
“I knew you would prepare in advance; I did the same.”
Tianxuan also took out two eggs, looking at the slightly different-sized eggs, Shisan calmly said, “I want the bigger one.”
Afterwards, the two exchanged eggs and buns, then sat down to eat.
Shisan ate relatively slowly, his manners elegant.
In contrast, Tianxuan’s manner of eating was more robust.
After a few bites, he finished the bun and egg in his hands, then got up and said, “I’m done; I’ll go ahead first.”
With that, Tianxuan took a step forward, and countless arrays lit up on his body.
A powerful momentum was enough to change the colors of the sun and moon, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Get out!”
With a furious shout, a massive explosion erupted from the pit.
Three figures burst forth from it, and judging by the residual momentum on them, these three were once also Heavenly Mandate Holders.
“Demon Emperor, you are now like a dying ember; if we reach the pinnacle, you will undoubtedly perish!”
“Enough of this nonsense; let’s fight!”
“Buzz!”
“Wind and Thunder Wings deployed, Ruyi Stick in hand, Tianxuan once more became the Demon Emperor that made the world tremble.”
“Boom!”
A single stick pushed the three into the Void, and Tianxuan followed them in.
Such a fierce battle, of course, couldn’t take place in the Eight Desolates.
Tianxuan initiated his last battle, but Chen Shisan was still leisurely eating the bun in his hand.
At this moment, a weary voice came from the pit.
“Your sword cannot cut me.”
“If it were during your peak, perhaps there would still be some possibility.”
“I know.”
Chen Shisan finished the last bite of the bun, then peeled the eggshell and said, “The sword from before naturally cannot cut you.”
“So I have comprehended a new sword move; I don’t fully understand it yet, so give me some time. Let me finish this egg first.”
Slowly chewing on the egg, the presence in the reincarnation waited quietly.
After thirty breaths passed, Chen Shisan finally finished the egg in his hand.
