The voice of Little Immortal echoed continuously in the Qiongqi Tomb, while Chen Changsheng’s anger kept building.
Eventually, Chen Changsheng kicked the sealed Zhi Ze’s colorful meteorite, impatiently saying, “Stupid dog, hurry up and open the door. That annoying Little Immortal is coming to find me again.”
Suddenly awakened from slumber, Zhi Ze was initially a bit dazed. After a breath, Zhi Ze completely sorted out its thoughts, and then it started to confront Chen Changsheng.
“You b*stard, who are you calling a stupid dog?”
“I’m going all out against you.”
An hour later, with a bruised nose and swollen face, Zhi Ze obediently opened the Array Formation.
“Chen Changsheng, wait for me, I remember this grudge, and I won’t let it go.”
With the Array Formation opened, Little Immortal walked in wearing an old Taoist robe. He surveyed the environment of the Qiongqi Tomb while commenting, “This stronghold you’ve set up isn’t bad. It’s just a bit lifeless. You should plant some flowers and grass to liven it up. But your method of hiding this stronghold is quite good; it took me a thousand efforts to find you.”
Saying this, Little Immortal approached Chen Changsheng. However, at this moment, Chen Changsheng did not give him any favorable expression.
“Wu Li is going to d*e?”
Chen Changsheng asked abruptly. Hearing this, Little Immortal chuckled and replied, “Not yet, Emperor Huangtian and the others are quite vigorous; they won’t have any major issues within a hundred thousand efforts.”
“Niansheng is in trouble?”
“Not really. That little girl is quite lively; she won’t have any major issues in the short term.”
“Get lost, I’m not helping.”
After getting a clear answer, Chen Changsheng directly and coldly refused Little Immortal. Seeing this, Little Immortal grew anxious.
“I’m not done talking yet; why are you rejecting me so quickly?”
“We’re familiar enough, rejecting me so resolutely is quite embarrassing.”
In response to Little Immortal’s words, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “My ancestor, can’t you let me have a few peaceful days?”
“The last time you came to find me, your aim was to have me reshape the world.”
“Just for that one thing, I toiled for tens of thousands of efforts.”
“Initially, I opened the Era of Enlightenment and had a clash with the Ancient Forbidden Ground, dealing with those foul mice.”
“After laying the foundation, I fought through the cycle to stabilize the Eight Desolates, during which I even sacrificed Tianxuan and Thirteen’s last breath.”
“Thirty thousand efforts ago, I began planning for the Four Directions Continent to find a better stage for this world’s development.”
“I did everything I should and shouldn’t have done.”
“Now that those kids want me to take a break, can you not find trouble for me?”
“The kids’ intentions are sincere; I need to enjoy a bit as well, don’t you agree?”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s impatient attitude, Little Immortal chuckled and moved closer to him, saying, “A motionless quagmire, the world is so vast; don’t you want to go out and take a look?”
“I don’t want to!”
“Right now, I just want to stay at home, fiddle with puppets, and occasionally play with dogs and birds; the mundane affairs of the world have nothing to do with me.”
“Let me put it this way, even if the Eight Desolates Nine Domains are blown up right now, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Because that’s their own business.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng turned in another direction and lowered his head to fiddle with a puppet part.
Warm reminder: If you think this book is good, to avoid not finding it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
Seeing this, Little Immortal thick-skinnedly turned back to face Chen Changsheng and continued to persuade him, “You’ve been staying here for so long; there are some things happening outside that you might not know.”
“The Blade Emperor Zhang Zhen has disappeared for ten thousand years.”
“So what if he disappeared?”
“He’s not my son; can I tether him to my side?”
“Don’t you want to know where he went?”
“Where he went has nothing to do with me.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng grew increasingly impatient. He threw the parts onto the ground and angrily said, “Are you going or not? If you’re not going, then I will!”
Seeing Chen Changsheng’s displeasure, Little Immortal grinned and sat down on the ground.
“I’m definitely not going.”
“Well, if you’re not going, I will go. If you like staying here, then just stay here.”
After saying that, Chen Changsheng took Bai Ze and Treasure Mouse outside. Watching Chen Changsheng’s back, Little Immortal picked up the parts from the ground and said, “The outside world is very exciting; don’t you want to take a look?”
Faced with Little Immortal’s words, Chen Changsheng did not pause his steps at all.
Seeing this, Little Immortal continued, “Most of the people who bear the Heavenly Mandate will leave their original world.”
“Don’t you want to know why?”
Hearing Little Immortal’s words, Chen Changsheng covered his ears and began to run wildly.
“I found the method of longevity!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng stopped. Immediately after, he angrily turned back and snatched the parts from Little Immortal’s hand.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
“Every cultivator in the world desires longevity, and countless heroes have fallen under the words ‘longevity.'”
“There is no one in this world who understands ‘longevity’ better than me. You saying you found longevity is just nonsense!”
A shower of spittle landed on Little Immortal’s face; Little Immortal wiped it off with his hand and said with a smile, “Indeed, no one understands longevity better than you, and what I found can’t be considered longevity.”
“But I believe you must have considered this issue: why can I live so long.”
“With your intelligence, it’s not hard to deduce that my current existence predates Emperor Huangtian and even you.”
“Don’t you find it strange as to why I can live so long?”
“And also, Niansheng is so fixated on longevity; why did she choose to be with us?”
“Doesn’t this signify that we possess a method for extending life?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s emotions calmed down somewhat.
“You speak more convincing than you sing. If you truly had such a method, wouldn’t Fu Yao seek you out?”
“If you really possessed such a method, why wouldn’t the Book seek you out? He wouldn’t just sit idly by watching Thirteen d*e.”
In response to Chen Changsheng’s doubts, Little Immortal calmly replied, “Fu Yao’s demands are too high; what we have isn’t to her liking.”
“The fall of Sword God was due to him being wounded at the foundation and the origin; we couldn’t do anything about it either.”
“Moreover, the path we walk may not be any better than Emperor Huangtian’s.”
“This is also why, while we hold the secret to extending life, no one has scrutinized it.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng contemplated for a moment and said, “Since the outside world is so vast, why did you only come to find me now?”
“And this time coming out, should I go to Wu Li or to you?”
“Neither.”
