Chapter 738 - 764 Heart-to-Heart Talk
Chapter 738: Chapter 764 Heart-to-Heart Talk Chapter 738: Chapter 764 Heart-to-Heart Talk “`
Outside the Sea of Nihility, within a vast and boundless forest.
Chen Jun stood there alone.
His Confucian robe fluttered in the wind.
He looked emotionlessly at a towering tree in front of him.
After a moment, his lips slightly parted, and he spoke.
“Ch?.”
As the word fell,
the Spiritual Energy around surged.
...
The void trembled.
A pair of Yin Yang Fish condensed, circling several times around Chen Jun before merging into a scroll and fiercely smashing towards the towering tree ahead.
Boom!
The scroll struck the towering tree, instantly turning the entire tree into flying ash that disappeared without a trace.
This terrifying force.
Was comparable to the strike of a True Immortal.
How long had Chen Jun been practicing?
With just one strike, he had already possessed the power of a True Immortal.
Moreover, this was just an arbitrary strike from Chen Jun.
If he were to use his full strength, the power would be even greater.
Standing to the side, Chu Yuan, who had opened the Divine Light’s Major Account, watched Chen Jun’s strike and fell into deep thought.
He couldn’t figure out from start to finish what had made this disciple succeed.
According to what this disciple had said, he roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
That is to say, he had blindly misled Chen Jun with a story.
Initially, Chen Jun understood nothing.
But later on, after being randomly advised by Zhang Han, he had become enlightened.
Then he succeeded.
As for Chen Jun’s success,
Chu Yuan was not angry, as he had changed his approach now. What he wanted was to teach a Worthless Disciple, to counteract the remaining rules within Divine Light, and failing had no punishment.
This Chen Jun could find his own path.
And had become successful.
Chu Yuan was quite pleased.
After all, having one more successful disciple was a good thing.
It was just that Chu Yuan couldn’t understand.
Why exactly was it that he couldn’t teach a Worthless Disciple?
He hadn’t made a single mistake in any step of the process.
He was also certain that no being had interfered with Chen Jun.
If he had to say, it was Zhang Han who had given some nonsensical advice.
But if random advice could lead to success,
then Da Luo beings would probably be everywhere.
Why was this happening?
Chu Yuan couldn’t figure it out.
Could it be…
Could it really have been a coincidence?
A one in a million coincidence?
But that seemed too far-fetched.
Chu Yuan was at a loss for words.
Or was it that Zhang Han, number two, had something special about him?
“Does number two have some background? Or a past life? Which is why he was able to bring about Chen Jun’s success?”
A new speculation rose in Chu Yuan’s heart.
But he didn’t think about it any further and snuffed out the thought.
No matter whether Zhang Han had a background from a past life or not, he had to find Zhang Han and have a serious ‘heart-to-heart’ with him.
This number two.
Really had nothing better to do.
He even dared to stab him in the back.
“Respected Master.”
Chen Jun faced Chu Yuan and bowed with hands clasped.
After coming to this forest,
he had received Chu Yuan’s teachings, knew how to enter a combat state, and how to turn off that combat state.
Now he could speak fluently.
“Jun’er, your cultivation has no issues now, you just need to continue maintaining this cultivation method.”
Chu Yuan waved his hand and spoke indifferently.
“`
“So you’re saying, Disciple didn’t encounter any problems with his cultivation?”
Chen Jun was stunned for a moment.
“There were, but your teacher has already resolved them for you. You probably can’t feel it now, but once your cultivation levels become stronger, you will naturally understand,”
Chu Yuan spoke with ease.
He bluffed without much effort.
“So that’s how it is, Disciple offers his thanks for Respected Master’s great kindness!”
Chen Jun didn’t know much, and in his heart, he was deeply moved.
“Let’s go, follow me back.”
Chu Yuan couldn’t be bothered with making up more stories, as he had to go back and have a heart-to-heart with his second disciple.
With those words,
he took Chen Jun and flew back in the direction of Hidden Heaven Island.
…
At the same time,
over in Wansheng Heavenly City.
Li Cheng had returned to this place once more.
Accompanying him were many Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors, as well as Da Luo beings.
Wansheng Heavenly City was easily retaken by Li Cheng and once again served as the capital of the Immortal Dynasty.
The recent battle in Wansheng Heavenly City involved beings of the ‘Saint’ level.
Naturally, after the war, nobody dared to covet Wansheng Heavenly City.
Many forces were extremely wary of this city.
Even touching it slightly made them fear offending the legendary ‘Saint’.
So even though Wansheng Heavenly City was prosperous, nobody dared to touch it.
That’s what allowed Li Cheng to return so easily and take over Wansheng Heavenly City.
Upon his return to Wansheng Heavenly City, the first thing Li Cheng did was recruit troops and begin external conquests to firmly establish the Immortal Dynasty.
Previously, it could only be said that the battles were for the Immortal Dynasty to settle its capital; another way to understand it was as a nation-founding war.
Only after resolving that battle did he have the credentials to fully establish the Immortal Dynasty.
To establish an Immortal Dynasty, naturally, a large number of troops and countless cities were needed.
Li Cheng proclaimed the Immortal Dynasty as the ‘Grand Immortal Dynasty,’ ruling the entire southern region of East Divine State.
Of course, this rule was only a claim made by Li Cheng himself. In reality, his jurisdiction was at most limited to the extreme south, and he only claimed the whole south in name.
The many Immortal Sects and Immortal Dynasties of the south were quite helpless about this. If it were anyone else making such claims, they would have been eradicated by them long ago.
But it was Li Cheng.
What stood behind Li Cheng was Hidden Heaven Island, and everyone knew this.
Therefore, they could only pretend not to hear and let Li Cheng babble on.
…
Inside a brand-new palace in Wansheng Heavenly City,
Li Cheng and his subordinates gathered around a table, discussing various matters.
After all discussions were complete, Li Cheng turned to one of his subordinates and started to inquire.
“How did it go with the message you were to deliver to those Immortal Sects that I asked you about before?”
Li Cheng spoke with an air of authority.
“To report to Your Majesty, the task has been properly taken care of, but those fellow disciples of Your Majesty didn’t send any reply.”
The subordinate hastily reported.
“Hmm, as long as it was delivered, there’s no need to concern ourselves with the rest,”
Li Cheng gestured dismissively.
He was also somewhat curious.
Why didn’t those fellow disciples reply? Were they going back to Hidden Heaven Island, or not?
He wasn’t very clear on that.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter.
Let them be.
In any case, whether those fellow disciples returned or not, it didn’t concern him.
If those fellow disciples truly changed their hearts after Ascension and betrayed their Respected Master,
there was no need for the Respected Master, nor the eldest brother to act; Li Cheng himself would suffice to purge them.
For Li Cheng, the sect was more important than anything, and he wouldn’t tolerate anyone betraying the sect.
Just as Li Cheng came to this conclusion,
a subordinate suddenly came in.
“Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty has unexpectedly arrived at the city gates. The commanding general has sent a messenger to ask if we may permit the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty to enter the city?”
The subordinate knelt and paid respects.
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng was taken aback.
He remembered the familiar face of the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty.
The one who shared his name and surname.
Indeed, their past dealings had been quite profound…
