C561 – Gou Chen

Gou Chen held the esteemed title of Great Sovereign, making him a highly significant figure in the world’s legends.

What puzzled Zhang Xuan was the abundance of individuals who appeared in the legendary system on Earth.

Could there possibly be a connection between these two worlds?

“Hahaha, it has been quite some time since I last encountered people from my place of origin.”

Gou Chen appeared genuinely thrilled as he respectfully clasped his fists toward Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes, catching the mention of “place of origin” in Gou Chen’s words.

Did this “place of origin” refer to the Martial Celestial Realm or Earth?

Sensing the uncertainty in Zhang Xuan’s gaze, Gou Chen didn’t become upset. Instead, he offered a smile to Zhang Xuan, gesturing for him to follow into the wooden house.

Zhang Xuan lifted his gaze, his eyes fixed on the wooden house. Strangely, he was overwhelmed with an intense fear in his heart.

This fear seemed to emerge out of nowhere. It was as if a voice deep within his soul warned him against entering.

Zhang Xuan couldn’t fathom why he would harbor such a notion without any apparent cause.

He glanced up at Gou Chen and sensed an inexplicable aura emanating from him. It compelled Zhang Xuan to draw closer and believe everything Gou Chen said.

Gou Chen’s eyes emitted a subtle glow, creating a sensation of temptation within the depths of Zhang Xuan’s heart, urging him to approach.

This feeling made Zhang Xuan feel extremely uncomfortable, prompting him to instinctively take a couple of steps backward.

Luhuang appeared to have noticed Zhang Xuan’s conflicting thoughts. His gaze shifted back and forth between the Daoist and Zhang Xuan.

“Let’s go, Zhang Xuan. Let’s go inside!” Luhuang did not understand.

“Do you know how lucky you are? I have been here for so long, and Master didn’t even let me in. When you came, Master invited you in, and you are still pushing me in.”

Just now, it was Master who asked him to save Zhang Xuan. Why did Zhang Xuan become so wary when he saw his Master?

Although he hadn’t been with Zhang Xuan for a very long time, he knew that Zhang Xuan wouldn’t have such a thought for no reason.

Zhang Xuan really wanted to ask if Gou Chen had any connection with Earth, but he didn’t dare.

He was afraid that if he said it out loud, it would cause harm to Earth.

Zhang Xuan didn’t think that a person who could live comfortably in Burial World was a good person.

“Fellow Daoist, what is it? This wooden house makes you feel uncomfortable?”

Gou Chen smiled casually. “When I first found this place, I had the same feeling as you. However, I have been living here for tens of millions of years, and I am used to it.”

Gou Chen waved his hand and a table appeared in front of Zhang Xuan. Luhuang immediately flew to the table and said, “Come, silly bird. Take out your good wine. I haven’t drunk it for a long time. I actually miss it!”

After saying that, Luhuang looked at Gou Chen. “Master, you have to taste the wine that Zhang Xuan brewed. It is definitely one of the best in the world.”

“Oh? Is that so? Then I’m going to have a good taste!”

Gou Chen’s eyes lit up when he heard that and looked at Zhang Xuan.

“It has been many years since I have returned to my hometown. I wonder if I can borrow you to drink the wine from my hometown!”

Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Gou Chen’s words. However, he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

It seemed that Gou Chen was not from Earth, but a powerful warrior from Martial Celestial Realm.

He let out a sigh of relief, because this person wasn’t from Earth, which meant that nothing had happened on Earth.

In fact, Zhang Xuan was most afraid that the Burial World was Earth.

He was also disappointed because the other party was not a powerhouse from Earth. If he wanted to find Earth again, he was afraid that he would not know how long it would take.

However, sometimes, the best news was that there was no news.

Zhang Xuan smiled at Gou Chen. “May I know which family or sect you used to come from?”

“Are you stupid? Didn’t my master say that his name is Gou Chen? Of course he came from Gou Chen’s family!”

Hearing Luhuang’s words, Zhang Xuan was stunned. Gou Chen’s family? Why hadn’t he heard of this family before?

Old Zhang had never told Zhang Xuan about the Chaotic Battlefield. If he had told him about it, Zhang Xuan would definitely remember this family that caused people to tremble in fear during the ancient times.

Gou Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Xuan’s face. His expression darkened, then he smiled bitterly and said, “It has been tens of millions of years. Has Gou Chen’s family been destroyed?”

“I heard from Luhuang that you have ascended from a small world. It’s normal that you don’t know about my family. It has been tens of millions of years. Even I only remember my surname, Gou Chen, but I have forgotten my name.”

Zhang Xuan took out the wine. Gou Chen’s eyes lit up, then he impatiently poured a bowl of wine and gulped it down.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan simply gave him the entire pot of wine. Gou Chen’s face was filled with regret and expectation. He took the pot of wine with a complicated expression, then he raised his head and drank it.

A surge of surging Spiritual Energy gathered towards this place. Gou Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly sat down cross-legged to cultivate. It was as if someone who had been thirsty in the desert for a long time had seen a bowl of water.

Luhuang saw that Gou Chen was cultivating, so he sneakily put away the jar of wine.

“Ding! Congratulations to host for completing the intermediate hidden mission to find the Remnants of Chaos. Great Dao experience + 500,000.”

“‘Ding… Congratulations to host for leveling up. Your current level is 90.'”

“‘Ding… Congratulations to user for removing the Great Dao from your body and advancing to the Tyrannical Domain. ‘”

“‘Note: Tyrannical Domain. When activated, it creates a blockage within a 100-meter radius around the user. The range expands with the level of supernatural power.'”

A sudden surge of electric current reverberated in Zhang Xuan’s mind. He was momentarily stunned, and then a vast Heavenly Path materialized before him. It spanned 10,000 meters in width and 900 meters in length.

As Zhang Xuan beheld the enigmatic Heavenly Path before him, his previous elation faded away.

This was because no one knew when the system would depart from him. It was only now that Zhang Xuan realized that without the system, he was just an ordinary individual.

He wouldn’t be able to accomplish anything. He wouldn’t be able to protect those dear to him.

“Perhaps, upon my return, I should find a way to cultivate on my own!”

With a bitter smile, Zhang Xuan stood within the expanse of the Heavenly Path. He walked to the far end, sat down cross-legged, and quietly immersed himself in contemplation.

The emergence of Zhang Xuan’s Heavenly Path caught the attention of Gou Chen, who was also cultivating. He abruptly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze upon Zhang Xuan, who was deep in meditation. The conspicuous Heavenly Path on Zhang Xuan’s back demanded his undivided attention.

It stretched for a length of 10,000 meters and spanned a width of 900 meters!

“Is it… 10,000 meters wide and 900 meters long, or 900 meters wide and 10,000 meters long?”

“Could it be that Zhang Xuan has obtained the ancient-era inheritance?”

Gou Chen’s gaze remained unfocused. He stared at it blankly, and no one could decipher his thoughts.

“Master, what exactly is the ancient-era inheritance? Was cultivation during the ancient era so extraordinary?”

Gou Chen looked at Luhuang affectionately and explained, “I just mentioned it casually. You should tell me more about Zhang Xuan!”

Patting Luhuang’s head, Gou Chen turned his gaze towards Zhang Xuan with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
