Chapter 499

After listening to Chen Chen Jingchou, Chen Fu touched Chen Chen Jingchou’s face with great heartache.

Chen Fu could feel the danger just by listening, so Chen Chen Jingchou, who had experienced the actual situation, must have had it even harder.

"You have suffered, child."

Chen Fu said slowly to Chen Chen Jingchou.

Upon hearing Chen Fu’s words, Chen Chen Jingchou laughed happily to keep Chen Fu from continuing to be sad.

"Oh Master, why are you always crying and sobbing as soon as I return."

"Aren't I fine now? And my cultivation has risen to the late stage of the Land Deity-Mortal realm; this is a good thing!"

"And I have a feeling that it won't be long before my martial cultivation can break through again; I have already touched the threshold of the peak of the Land Deity-Mortal realm."

"Now that my martial cultivation has become higher, Master, you won't need to carry the burden of the Chen clan alone anymore."

Speaking of this, Chen Chen Jingchou deliberately straightened his back and said loudly to Chen Fu:

"Chen Jingchou has grown up now! I can also share your worries, Master!"

Hearing Chen Chen Jingchou’s words, Chen Fu felt in an instant that Chen Chen Jingchou had truly grown up.

After Chen Fu and Chen Chen Jingchou chatted for a while longer, since Chen Fu saw that Chen Chen Jingchou’s cultivation had truly risen to the Land Deity-Mortal realm, the fire of revenge that had already been extinguished in Chen Fu’s heart began to burn fiercely once again.

After all, Chen Fu had now seen Chen Chen Jingchou’s potential; if given time, it was not impossible for Chen Chen Jingchou to advance all the way to the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm.

At that time, as long as someone could block the Great Sui’s guardian deity, Yuwen Tuo, then their restoration of the country would not be without hope!

And since this idea arose in Chen Fu’s heart, it was like a raging fire that could never be extinguished again.

After settling Chen Chen Jingchou down, Chen Fu began to plot the future restoration of the Chen State.

After layers of thinking about feasible ways, and with the principle of being able to defeat Yuwen Tuo as the primary goal, and under the premise of Chen Chen Jingchou’s strength constantly improving in a short time.

Chen Fu formulated a feasible plan: to win over the Tuoba clan, and then use the Tuoba clan’s help to find the legendary descendant of Nüwa.

After paying a certain price, have Chen Chen Jingchou receive the inheritance of the Earth Emperor from the descendant of Nüwa.

As long as he had the Earth Emperor’s inheritance, Chen Fu believed that with Chen Chen Jingchou’s aptitude, he would inevitably be able to instantly raise his strength to the peak of the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm, which could defeat Yuwen Tuo, without leaving any flaws for Chen Chen Jingchou.

When that time came, it would be the time for their Chen State to officially take revenge on the Great Sui!

After formulating the plan, Chen Fu found Chen Chen Jingchou the next day and told him the entire plan.

"Chen Jingchou, if our Chen State wants to revive, we must face the mountain that is Yuwen Tuo!"

"Now, after Master’s painstaking thinking, there is only this one path of becoming the Earth Emperor that can be taken in a short time."

"Master truly wants to see the day you restore the Chen State in my lifetime!"

"To see you personally take revenge for our Chen State, to take revenge for your father, mother, and the people of the Chen State who died under the swords of the Great Sui!"

The current Chen Chen Jingchou naturally already had the ability to distinguish things for himself.

Upon hearing Chen Fu’s words, Chen Chen Jingchou did not directly agree to Chen Fu’s words.

Because he had traveled outside for a long time, he knew more about things outside than Chen Fu.

The Nine Provinces outside now seemed chaotic; whether it was the Central Plains or the major dynasties and the Jianghu, they had all become a mess, and some once-powerful dynasties were even on the verge of collapse.

But Chen Chen Jingchou knew very well that among the major dynasties, only the Great Sui, the Great Qin, and the Great Qing, which practiced "closed-door policy," were still maintaining a calm appearance for some reason.

Even the Great Tang, which originally had the strength to compete with the Great Qin, had fallen into the flames of war everywhere due to some reasons he did not know.

And during the period Chen Chen Jingchou was training outside, he had also observed the Great Sui in detail; ever since Xiao Xiao Meiniang, together with Grand Master Yuwen Tuo, pulled Yang Guang down, under Xiao Xiao Meiniang’s leadership, the Great Sui’s national strength had improved significantly.

Not only had the people’s living standards improved, but the army’s equipment and combat effectiveness had also improved greatly.

And now, besides having Yuwen Tuo, the top martial artist at the peak of the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm known to all major empires, the current Great Sui Empress Xiao Xiao Meiniang was also, in Chen Chen Jingchou’s guess, definitely a hidden peak expert.

After all, having received Heavenly Dao rewards himself, he knew very well the terrifying nature of Heavenly Dao rewards...

Since Xiao Xiao Meiniang also had the baptism of Heavenly Dao rewards, and it was a baptism of Heavenly Dao rewards ten thousand times better than Chen Chen Jingchou’s, then even if Xiao Xiao Meiniang was a mortal, after receiving the Heavenly Dao rewards, she would definitely be able to successfully climb into the Land Deity realm.

As for where Xiao Xiao Meiniang’s realm had reached now, although Chen Chen Jingchou did not know, he believed that Xiao Xiao Meiniang’s martial arts realm would definitely not be lower than his.

And the Great Sui was also one of the very few that possessed two divine weapons that had made it onto the Divine Weapon Ranking of the Heavenly Dao Ranking—the Xuanyuan Sword and the Lord Donghuang Bell.

You must know that if martial artists of the same realm fight, if one side has a treasure that can make it onto the Heavenly Dao Ranking in hand, then it can be a one-sided crushing of the other side!

This is beyond doubt.

Therefore, Chen Chen Jingchou fell into deep hesitation after facing what Chen Fu said.

This was not because Chen Chen Jingchou did not want to take revenge for the people of the Chen State or for his father and mother, but because Chen Chen Jingchou felt that with their strength, even if he himself could successfully ascend to the peak of the Land Deity-Heavenly Human realm in a short time.

Even if he could become an expert of the same realm as Yuwen Tuo, he would absolutely not be a match for Yuwen Tuo, who possessed the Heavenly Dao supreme treasure, the Xuanyuan Sword.

Unless he, Chen Chen Jingchou, could also possess a divine object that could make it onto the Heavenly Dao Ranking, he would only have a glimmer of a chance!

Therefore, Chen Chen Jingchou believed that if he really raised the banner of rebellion and took the remaining people of the Chen clan to attack the Great Sui, the only result would be watching the clansmen die one after another.

Just when Chen Chen Jingchou wanted to refuse what Chen Fu said, facing Chen Fu’s pleading gaze, the words in his throat suddenly could not be spoken.

After a moment, Chen Chen Jingchou, who had been looking into Chen Fu’s eyes, finally compromised.

Then he said to Chen Fu in a somewhat listless manner:

"Fine, I agree."

Facing Chen Fu’s current appearance, Chen Chen Jingchou really had no way to say the word "refuse."

Although Chen Chen Jingchou knew that resisting the Great Sui would only bring death and destruction to the Chen clan, he was raised by Chen Fu.

Since Chen Fu wanted to be crazy once, Chen Chen Jingchou had no reason not to accompany the person who raised him to be crazy together.

Besides, at worst, it would just be a result of falling, and Chen Chen Jingchou happened not to be afraid!
