Chapter 123 – Almost, Just a Little Bit Too Close (Requesting for Monthly Tickets)
With the atmosphere of the Holy Land becoming more and more stagnant, the happier Zhou Xuan became, Chai Shiren came to his door.
In the past few days, he had also realized that something wasn’t right, so he had thought of avoiding it for a while, so that he wouldn’t offend someone he couldn’t afford to offend due to his words impinging on others.
He had come over, naturally, because he had previously promised Zhou Xuan that he would receive Zhou Xuan’s parents on Hengshan Mountain after returning to Hengshan Domain, and then bring his parents to the Holy Land after Zhou Xuan joined the Holy Land and became a True Successor.
In coming over, he wanted to inquire if there were any other things Zhou Xuan needed him to do.
Learning of Chai Shiren’s intentions, Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment, there really was one thing, “When you go back and order your subordinates, by the way, have someone go back to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to look for an Inner Sect Disciple named Qi Changyun, who is the son of a Marquis in the Great Yu Dynasty, and after settling his affairs, then bring my parents back to Hengshan.”
Previously when he was still at the Qi Gathering Realm, when he looked for Qi Changyun, a young marquis, for a drink, he could tell at a glance that there was a plot on the other party.
But at that time, he was too lazy to do the branch line.
Now, it’s just a matter of lifting a finger. As a brother of his Qi gathering realm period, he naturally will not let Qi Changyun go unattended.
Of course, it was hard to say in the future.
As a player, the speed of cultivation is extremely fast, the brothers who made friends in the early stage, because he could not keep up with the speed of cultivation, the feelings will soon be thin down.
Coupled with the unequal cultivation, some NPCs will climb up, brothers become subordinates, some have self-awareness, generally will not find the door.
Gradually also forget each other in the jianghu.
Zhou Xuan to Qi Changyun character understanding, after learning about their own situation, Qi Changyun that character, unless he took the initiative, or else in the future is not expected to deal with.
But for this situation, Zhou Xuan has long been accustomed to.
But at least brother for a, help each other to solve a difficult situation, he can still go along for the ride.
After hearing this, Chai Shiren patted his chest and assured that it was on him.
Zhou Xuan then said, “If you want to return to the Holy Land after you’re done, it’s best to come back the day before the Tong Tian Election.”
Seeing Chai Shiren’s doubts, he explained, “I’m guessing that there might not be a single Heavenly Rank with a special physique in the Holy Land.”
“What? How is this possible?” Chai Shiren was shocked, his face unbelievable.
“It is indeed unlikely, this is just my guess.” Zhou Xuan laughed and did not say the matter to death, as he told what he had learned on Lin Lujiang’s side.
This time, Chai Shiren also felt that this guess was most likely true.
Of course, he was also just an ordinary Sacred Ground disciple, so this sort of thing did not require him to worry about.
There was a taller person to hold the sky when it collapsed, so he merely sighed and took his leave.
Seeing that Chai Shiren had left, Zhou Xuan didn’t run around, now he only needed to quietly wait for the Great Election of Tong Tian to begin.
As a result, in the afternoon, a movement came from his temporary identity jade token, and with a sweep of his divine sense, it was Luo Bingya who had come to the Holy Land.
As soon as he arrived at the Holy Land, Luo Bingya contacted him with the help of the identity jade.
In the Holy Land, the identity jade pendant was basically fully functional, and one could use this thing as an ID card while also using it as a realistic WeChat.
And the function of this identity jade token was too much stronger than WeChat.
“Where are you?”
“I’m at the outer floor of the Bocai Building.”
“I’m in the True Transmission Building, you come over, I’ll introduce my niece to you.”
“Okay, come over right away.”
Luo Bingya’s niece was Lin Qinxue.
This was a girl who was with him back then, testing her qualifications at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
According to the game’s settings, this Lin Qinxue was actually the player’s internalized Dao Couple.
However, for him, a speed pass player, a woman affects his sword drawing speed, so he naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to provoke a woman.
Unless it was a matter of necessity.
Unfortunately, this test had too much compulsion.
While Zhou Xuan was riding the Earth Dragon and heading towards the True Transmission Building, Chai Shiren had already returned to the Hengshan Domain.
Upon his return, he greeted his daoist couple and did not order his men to go to the Dayu Dynasty, but instead went over personally.
To him, Zhou Xuan was already a Sacred Ground True Transmission, and his status was completely different.
Although there were still alternate Holy Sons and Saints above the True Transmission, and above the alternate Holy Sons and Saints, there were still Holy Sons and Saints, but the Holy Land True Transmission was already an unattainable existence for most of the Holy Land disciples.
And within the True Transmission, there was also a difference between high and low.
A Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment was naturally a True Transmission disciple, and the most honorable existence within the True Transmission.
Don’t look at the Tong Tian Great Election thing, there are as many Heavenly Ranks as there are people, but because of the reason of limited resources, it is naturally impossible for the Holy Land to make every Heavenly Rank Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Otherwise it would definitely go bankrupt.
With so many Heavenly Steps’ qualifications, the Holy Land naturally took the best out of the best, and only the upper Heavenly Steps’ qualifications could hope for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, even if Chai Shiren could go to Bo Cai Lou to serve as Deacon Lin’s subordinate when the time came, he would still not be able to compare to a True Biography in terms of status, let alone a True Biography of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
Zhou Xuan was already considered his backer now.
Chai Shiren’s attitude towards his work was very positive, and as soon as he returned, he rushed towards the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
Upon arriving at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, since Shi Jiuyang was still in the Holy Land, it was Yang Yijie, the previous Patriarch, who acted as Acting Patriarch.
Learning of Chai Shiren’s arrival, and then learning that the other party had come to find Qi Changyun because of Zhou Xuan’s commands, for a moment Yang Yijie’s emotions were complicated, and it was clear that he had thought about it a lot.
Seeing this, Chai Shiren patted Yang Yijie’s shoulder, ”I know what’s on your mind, but you don’t think about it, how could the Ten Thousand Swords Sect possibly keep a Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment? Zhou Zhenfeng is going to be left behind by you guys, and he will definitely resent it in the future, so why don’t you let it go earlier, and naturally, there will be no shortage of favors from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in the future.”
He then informed Zhou Xuan that he had instructed him to help Qi Changyun resolve his troubles.
“Zhou Zhenzhuan doesn’t even neglect his close friends that he knew during the Qi Gathering Realm period, it’s naturally impossible for him to ignore the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, so you guys should be thankful.”
“Indeed, it was me who lost my temper.” Yang Yijie exhaled, and after adjusting his mindset, he said in shame, “Zhou Xuan’s cultivation speed was too fast, causing us to neglect the other party’s parents, General Leader Chai you’ve come at the right time, do you need me to go with you?”
“That won’t be necessary.”
General Leader Chai sniffed and was curious, it was obvious that Yang Yijie was aware of Zhou Xuan’s cultivation.
For the Foundation Establishment Realm to be able to break bottlenecks back-to-back, there must be divine means.
However, Zhou Xuan had said that he would know by the time of the Tong Tian Election, so even though he knew that if he asked Yang Yijie now, the probability was that the other party would not conceal it, he pressed down his curiosity and did not ask Yang Yijie on the spot.
When Qi Changyun came to the Sovereign Peak with his curiosity, Chai Shiren did not hide it and told many things, of course the hidden secret of Heaven’s Path Foundation Establishment was still hidden as long as it could be hidden.
Learning that Zhou Xuan had become a True Successor of the Sacred Ground, Qi Changyun could not help but be dumbfounded, it was clear that he did not know what had happened, after all, it had only been a few months.
He had managed to eat the Foundation Establishment Pill to step into Foundation Establishment, and how had Zhou Xuan become a Sacred Ground True Successor?
Qi Changyun obviously couldn’t understand even if he thought about it.
Cluelessly, he followed Chai Shiren onto the Flying Cloud Shuttle and rushed towards the Dayu Dynasty.
On the Flying Cloud Shuttle, Qi Changyun reacted as an afterthought, and with a clench of his teeth, he said, “Lord Chief, your good intentions, Changyun heartily accepts them, it’s just that this is a family matter, and I would like to resolve it on my own.”
“Specifically what matter, you and say a word.”
“It’s like this…”
Although the family scandal could not be publicized, the person in front of him was the Hengshan Domain Chief, even the Supreme Elder did not dare to neglect him, so he naturally would not have a head iron.
Soon, Qi Changyun gave a brief account of the matter. Although Qi Changyun was a young marquis, he was born of a maid and was an accident after drinking by Marquis Jingnan.
So Qi Changyun in the marquis house, not at all popular, coupled with the above big brother and two brothers, on him this concubine all kinds of targeting, Jingnan Marquis see in the eyes, but also turn a blind eye.
In this case, his mother under the widowed, in his seven or eight years old died.
Therefore, from the time he was a child, Qi Changyun deeply hated his father and his two elder brothers, and he ran away from home more than once, but was quickly caught back.
To Marquis Jingnan, Qi Changyun could be bullied by his two elder brothers, but he absolutely could not die outside, it was a matter of honor for the Marquis House.
Until the age of eighteen, Wan Jian Zong Nascent Elder to roughly detect the qualification, Jingnan Marquis found that Qi Changyun actually has the qualification of cultivation, a change of attitude, booing and asking for warmth, for the previous behavior of all kinds of to find a remedy.
But this change in attitude only made Qi Changyun more disgusting.
If Zhou Xuan is here and hears Qi Changyun’s words, he is bound to spit out, this story is also too clichéd, with the beauty of an ancient morning net article.
And Chai Shiren was obviously well informed, so he listened without changing his face.
“It seems that Zhou Zhenzhuan instructed me to find you for a reason.” Seeing Qi Changyun’s curiosity, Chai Shiren said, “As a cultivator, when you cultivate your body, you also need to cultivate your mind, the importance of the state of mind is no less important than the qualifications, if you have this matter in your mind every day, your cultivation will definitely be slow after you build the foundation, only if you get this matter over with as soon as possible, you will be able to refine quickly in the future.”
“For cultivators, mundane matters are the most tedious, you should cut off these disturbances as soon as possible and start cultivating, you may be able to become a disciple of the Holy Land and meet with Zhou Zhenzhuan in the future.”
“Really?”
“Naturally true.”
Of course, it’s only true in dreams.
Chai Shiren saw through Qi Changyun’s character at a glance, and in order to convince the other party, he naturally had to think of a way.
He could see that Qi Changyun was an unconquerable character, and Zhou Xuan’s sudden rise had given Qi Changyun a sense of urgency.
At this time, in the other party’s mind, the matter regarding the Marquis was already a minor matter.
The reason Chai Shiren was so certain was because Qi Changyun didn’t have too much resentment in his tone when he said it, and it was clear that after staying in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for nearly a year, Qi Changyun’s heart for revenge had faded down.
After all, time would wash away everything.
—
“Husband, we must go, if we don’t go we will all die.”
“Father.” Next to her, the nineteen year old Zhou Liling was holding a two or three year old who was sleeping, and she also had an anxious look on her face.
“Can’t leave.” Zhou Yongquan shook his head in dismay, “His Majesty’s death was too sudden, and the Crown Prince was also strangely killed on the third day, and now it seems that it should be the Seventh Prince who joined forces with Marquis Jingnan.”
“At this moment the situation is clear, even if we leave early, we will only die a few days later, the seventh prince will definitely not spare us.”
Although he, Zhou Yongquan, was a merchant, no one knew that he was actually the Crown Prince’s white glove, specializing in managing the money bag for the Crown Prince.
Now that the crown prince was suddenly princely, he had no faith at all.
Next to him, Cheng Shuyan looked sad, “What about Ling’er and Tao’er?”
Zhou Liling, nineteen this year, has reached the moment of marriage, the result has not found a good match, will have to die with them?
And Tao’s son, is only three years old.
Ignorant age, do not know anything, not yet enjoy the prosperity of the world, will have to go to the Yellow Springs with them?
Cheng Shuyan looked resigned.
“My Zhou family is not extinct, there is still Xuan’er.” Zhou Yongquan was not afraid of death, he took his wife into his arms, “Xuan’er, as a cultivator, as long as he wants to, he will definitely be able to carry on the Zhou family’s legacy.”
During the conversation between the two, the Zhou Mansion’s gate was kicked open, and the guards had long since been slashed to death.
The entire Zhou Family, in an instant, was in chaos.
A tall, middle-aged general came to the backyard, and seeing Zhou Yongquan’s husband and wife and their children, he couldn’t help but laugh, “The two of you are so elegant, it seems that you know that the time of your death is at hand, and you’ve been waiting here for a long time.”
“Successful king loses, it is true in ancient and modern times.” Zhou Yongquan smiled faintly, “Even if I run, where can I run to?”
“Lord Qin, we as a couple can tie our hands, can we spare our children?” Cheng Shuyan was obviously still unwilling, she said hopefully.
“Spare you guys?” The middle-aged general smiled as if he had heard some kind of joke, he laughed fiercely, “Today we have failed, will you spare us?”
After saying that, he waved his hand and said indifferently, “Go, hack to death in a chaotic manner.”
When his subordinates heard this, they all brought their swords forward.
Just as Zhou Yongquan and his wife were in despair, ready to close their eyes and wait for death, the sound of a large number of people falling to the ground was heard.
Before they could open their eyes, their daughter’s hijacked and trembling voice came from the side, “Father, Mother, we…we’re saved.”
As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw an additional middle-aged man and a young man in front of them.
At this moment, Chai Shiren was standing on the ground, his head was a bit groggy, and his heart was thumping with a face of fortune.
It could be said that after living for so many years, only when he survived a life and death battle with a low cultivation level would he give birth to such a celebratory emotion.
It was just one step away.
Just one step, Zhou Zhenchuan’s family was about to be hacked to death by a random knife under his eyes.
If that were to be the case, he would definitely have to kill the entire Dayu Dynasty cleanly, so that these people would accompany Zhou Xuan’s parents and family.
“Your Excellency?”
Seeing that Chai Shiren did not speak after saving them, Zhou Yongquan cautiously opened his mouth to inquire.
Whew.
Chai Shiren exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and after his emotions calmed down, he smiled and arched his hand, “My name is Chai Shiren, and by order of Zhou Zhenchuan, I’ve come to lead all of you to live in Hengshan Mountain, and after the Tongtian Grand Election, I’ll send you all to the Holy Land.”
Saying that, seeing that Zhou Yongquan did not understand, Chai Shiren quickly explained the matter.
And learning that the person in front of them, was actually the Hengshan Chief, Zhou Yongquan and his wife were shocked, but at the same time, they were even more flattered, and hurriedly saluted.
Seeing this, Chai Shiren quickly went forward to help him up.
And after learning that his son Zhou Xuan, unexpectedly became the Ziyang Sacred Ground true legend, Zhou Yongquan was even more shocked.
As the Crown Prince’s butler, Zhou Yongquan naturally knew of the five clans of the Hengshan Domain, and also knew that above the five clans, there was the legendary Purple Sun Holy Land.
More than that, it is unknown.
However, his son, Zhou Xuan, had actually become a True Successor of the Holy Land?
As if he was dreaming, Zhou Yongquan only felt a little disoriented, a state as if he had finished drinking, his body drifting all over the place.
“Brother Zhou, I wonder what happened? Made you guys get into murderous trouble?”
Seeing Chai Shiren’s eyes showing a fierce light, he clearly wanted to take revenge for them.
Zhou Yongquan naturally did not hide anything and quickly told the matter.
When he heard about Marquis Jingnan, Chai Shiren glanced at Qi Changyun and saw that the other party was stunned, clearly stunned by Zhou Yongquan’s words.
His father had joined forces with the Seventh Prince and almost killed Zhou Xuan’s family?
At this moment, Chai Shiren patted Qi Changyun’s shoulder and said, “The creation of the world is ah.”
These five words announced the end of Marquis Jingnan.
The last few chapters are considered transition chapters, and now that the transition is over, tomorrow will go straight to the point.
As for what Tai Hua Tian has no great Dao mirror, the universe why there is no holy body, God body and so on, the follow-up has a reasonable explanation, so I will not spoil it!
