Chapter 540: The “Child” Without Its Parent, Ten Thousand Years of Time
Chen Changsheng lay in the stone coffin, while Bai Ze was sealed within the Longevity bl**d Stone.
His time was frozen at this moment, yet the whole world continued to turn slowly.
Ten thousand years was too long, long enough for three young people to become renowned masters across the land, long enough for some to lose their youthful appearance.
……
Heavenly Court.
“Aunt Feng, do you really not know where my father is?”
Sui Feng sat high upon the throne, and before her stood a plainly dressed man.
Looking at the man, Sui Feng smiled, “Your father’s affairs are not something that can be guessed by outsiders.”
“You don’t know either, so how could I possibly know?”
Hearing this, the man was rendered speechless, “Aunt Feng, you’ve held the Heavenly Mandate for over ten thousand years, and the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains are under your control.”
“How can you not know where my father is, unless he is no longer in this world?”
In response to the man’s words, Sui Feng replied lightly, “Trying to twist my words is useless; what I said is what I mean.”
“Instead of coming to ask me, you might as well care a bit about your elder brother.”
“Recently, Ziping has been in close contact with the Land of Reincarnation. Your father specifically instructed not to let your elder brother become enemies with Reincarnation before he disappeared.”
“If your father finds out what Ziping is doing, he might not be able to handle the consequences.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiang rolled her eyes and said, “You can’t blame my elder brother for this!”
“My father is missing, and the Land of Reincarnation is the biggest suspect. If my elder brother isn’t anxious, that would be crazy.”
“Also, if you have matters to discuss, can you at least let us know? Don’t treat us like children; we’re already ten thousand years old.”
Seeing Chen Xiang’s dissatisfied expression, Sui Feng said softly, “Don’t say you’re ten thousand years old; even if you were a hundred thousand years old, as long as we are still alive, you are all children.”
“Go back; you won’t get any answers here.”
Seeing that Sui Feng had begun to dismiss her, Chen Xiang pouted and left, dragging her sword with her.
“Aunt Feng, no matter what you’re doing or thinking, we will find Father back one day.”
Chen Xiang’s voice echoed through the palace. After she left, Xu Hu and Qian Ya came out.
Glancing at Chen Xiang’s departing figure, Xu Hu laughed and said, “They are very much like us in the past, always thinking that simply knowing the truth will give them the strength to change everything.”
Hearing Xu Hu’s sentiment, Qian Ya mocked, “They really do have the strength to change everything, but what did you have before?”
“Stop inflating your importance.”
“No way, how can you say that? I was the Grand Marshal back then!”
“Nonsense Grand Marshal—does the world even need you now?”
“You’re just a teacher for a bunch of children.”
Seeing Qian Ya expose his background, Xu Hu smiled and looked at Sui Feng, saying, “It’s about time; you should be getting ready to leave.”
“Yes, the time I agreed with Xiancha is approaching, and it’s time for me to depart.”
“Once I leave, you all should step back; it’s time to make way for the young people.”
“I’ve wanted to do this for a long time; staying in this position is boring.”
“But who are you planning to hand the Heavenly Court over to?”
Hearing this, Sui Feng pondered for a moment and looked towards Qian Ya, saying, “You’re the God of Wealth here; what are your thoughts on this?”
“Kong Xuan is more suitable; he has few shortcomings in every aspect. As for military affairs, just hand it over to Yang Jian.”

“Just as I expected. After I leave, this Crimson Realm will trouble you.”
“Recently, Eternal Immortal and Wang Hao have been getting a bit intense; find time to remind them not to stir up trouble.”
“If they really want to fight, they can do it outside Sword Qi Great Wall.”
Upon hearing Sword Qi Great Wall, Xu Hu frowned and said, “Those guys outside the Sword Qi Great Wall are growing stronger.”
“Should we find time to go take a look and continue the development down there, or it will become a big problem.”
“No need; those entities outside the Sword Qi Great Wall are untouchable by anyone.”
“During this peaceful time for the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, as the saying goes, ‘Neglecting war leads to destruction.’ If there is no strong enemy, the roots of the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains will rot.”
“I understand this principle,” Xu Hu’s expression became serious, “If it were just the area outside the Sword Qi Great Wall, I wouldn’t be too worried.”
“But don’t forget, there are still remnants within the Land of Reincarnation.”
“Once you leave, I may not have the confidence to stop them.”
Faced with Xu Hu’s concern, Huafeng stood up and gazed into the distance. After a while, she spoke.
“The master left those people for his reasons; as long as Ziping does not leave the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, there won’t be issues with Reincarnation.”
“Moreover, you need to give the current young people some confidence. You must believe they have the ability to handle future troubles, just as the master believed in us back then.”
After listening, Xu Hu nodded and said, “I understand.”
“Furthermore, your strength has been growing too fast; at present day, I can only receive over a hundred of your moves.”
“If I had known earlier, I would have fought you for the Heavenly Mandate.”
“The Heavenly Mandate is not so easy to obtain. Although your path is a bit slower, it may not be worse than mine.”
“And don’t think I don’t know you were holding back during our sparring. You must have wanted to give me a surprise at a critical moment.”
“Hahaha!”
“You even guessed this; I can’t hide anything from you.”
“How far have you reached?”
“Although I can’t win against you, I’m almost in an unbeatable position, just a little bit away.”
Receiving this answer, Huafeng smiled slightly and said, “You’re still so annoying, always pursuing me relentlessly from behind without giving me a moment’s respite.”
“I can’t help it. You’re looking at the mountain top, but I’m focusing on myself.”
“My journey is easier when it starts; the pressure is always less than yours.”
……
Land of Reincarnation.
“Don’t look at me like that; I really don’t know where your godfather is.”
“For ten thousand years, I have only been here planting flowers; the matters outside have nothing to do with me.”
Fu Yao leisurely tended to the flowerbed before her, while Ziping stood next to her with a stern face.
“Looking across the Eight Desolates and Nine Domains, you are the only one capable of threatening my father.”
“If he has disappeared, and you say it has nothing to do with you, do you think I would believe that?”
Seeing that Ziping still didn’t believe her, Fu Yao simply put down her scissors and said, “The vastness of the Crimson Realm exceeds your imagination.”
“The reason you think only I can threaten your godfather is because your godfather, along with Emperor Huangtian and your biological father, drove out some powerful entities.”
“There are many people in this realm who want your godfather dead; it’s not just me.”
“Although I really want to k*ll your godfather, right now I have no interest in taking action against him.”
“If it were really me, Huafeng and the others would have already come to find trouble with me.”
