Chapter 1489: Stop Fighting

"I'm talking about 'what if'," Chen Yu said. "What if you get drunk, what then?"

"If I get drunk, then I won't fight." Zhenwu sighed slightly and said, "Guarding this Purple Bamboo Forest for over a hundred years, I'm tired. Besides, the former sect leader is long gone; the things I followed, I actually don't need to follow so deliberately anymore."

"That's good, there's plenty of wine." Chen Yu laughed heartily, took out wine cups, and poured the wine.

"Such small cups? We used to use bowls. Are you people nowadays all this stingy?" Zhenwu picked up the wine cup. "Quite exquisite."

"The wine now is different from the wine in the past," Chen Yu said. "Brewing techniques have improved quite a bit, and the alcohol content is higher too."

"Indeed, the wine is very fragrant." Zhenwu nodded slightly. The cup of wine Chen Yu poured was overflowing with fragrance, which made him incredibly excited. He hadn't had a drink in over seventy years; this wine was truly worth a good drink.

He raised the wine cup, clinked it with Chen Yu's, and then downed it in one gulp.

"Good wine." As soon as the wine entered his mouth, Zhenwu couldn't help but feel a surge of spirit. The intense alcohol flowed down his throat into his stomach; he had never drunk this kind of wine before.

"It's not the best. There's a huge variety of wine now, but of course, our white liquor is still the best." Chen Yu poured another cup.

"The world has truly changed." Zhenwu murmured, "If I have the chance, I really do want to go and take a good look at this world, to see what it has become."

"It's good that you think that way. Senior, try this, it's a snack to go with the wine." Chen Yu took out some spicy gluten strips.

"This thing is edible?" Zhenwu looked at the spicy strips in Chen Yu's hand, somewhat disbelieving. Could this kind of spicy, stimulating thing really be eaten?

"Won't you know if you try it? Are you afraid I'd poison you?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Of course not." Zhenwu took the spicy strips and put one in his mouth.

"Mm, not bad." After just one bite, Zhenwu nodded repeatedly. This thing was indeed not bad. He felt that having been locked up in this place for so long, he had missed out on quite a few things.

"You have the Purple Star Emperor Fate; no wonder I couldn't beat you." While drinking, Zhenwu looked at Chen Yu.

"You can tell?" Chen Yu smiled and said, "I don't know what the Purple Star Emperor Fate is, but my fate was forcibly twisted by someone."

"The person who twisted your fate is a ruthless one." Zhenwu murmured, "This kind of fate is hard to encounter in a thousand years. Forcibly twisting someone's fate will invite the backlash of Karma."

"Yes, he went blind in one eye and crippled one arm. Even with his immense strength, he couldn't heal his hand or eye." Chen Yu said, "But my destiny changed because of it."

"Why did he do that? To control you?" Zhenwu asked.

"Right, just to control me." Chen Yu said, "To make me do things for him, but unfortunately, some changes occurred in me, so he failed."

"Haha, the Purple Star Emperor Fate, how could it be so easy to control?" Zhenwu laughed heartily. "That guy must be regretting it now."

"If he can't control me, he'll try to kill me. Unfortunately, I'm not that easy to kill either." Chen Yu smiled slightly. "We are in a stalemate now; perhaps it won't be long before I have a life-or-death battle with him."

"Then I wish you a victory." Zhenwu toasted Chen Yu with a cup of wine, then sighed and said, "I really want to go out and see this world."

"To see what the world has become, whether those guys from my time are still around, and if those little foreign snakes I taught a lesson to are still daring to be arrogant." Zhenwu said leisurely.

"Then go." Chen Yu encouraged him. "But if you go out, will you kill people?"

"Kill people? No fun." Zhenwu shook his head. "Fighting and killing, I'm long tired of it. Otherwise, why do you think I stayed here for two sixty-year cycles? To hide in peace. This world, it's always like this; no one can change it."

"True, for you, these things are no longer interesting. I don't know what you are pursuing now, but it's definitely not the state of mind you had before." Chen Yu said.

"Yes, but unfortunately, I still have to guard the Purple Bamboo Forest. I promised that old Daoist, so I must do it, otherwise I really would have let you pass." Zhenwu said.

"So we still have to fight?" Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat between laughter and tears.

"We do. What are you going in to do with those Dream Weavers?" Zhenwu asked.

"To make sure they never wake up." Chen Yu said, "The current Cloud Hut Residence is undergoing changes, and I estimate the sect leader will change hands. But I'm afraid that guy won't be reconciled; if he releases the existing Dream Weavers, that would be a huge disaster."

"Indeed, these things are extremely eerie; even the Ancient Gods had no way to deal with them." Zhenwu nodded slightly. "I know that little thing Qingsong; he is sinister and vicious. If he is truly pushed to the edge, he might really jump over the wall like a dog and release those Dream Weavers."

"Yes, so I came here to lock the seal one step ahead, to prevent him from jumping over the wall like a dog." Chen Yu said.

"The Dream Weavers are sleeping in the mountain body ahead. There is an Ancient Divine Script seal inside the mountain, and at the entrance, there is a half-open Blocking Stone." Zhenwu said, "As long as you go over and lower the Blocking Stone, the seal above will lock tight, and then no one will be able to wake them up."

"I see, thank you, Senior." Chen Yu nodded slightly.

"I haven't drunk in many years, I really can't hold my liquor anymore." Zhenwu stretched, then yawned and said, "I'm old, I have to admit it. I can't do it anymore, I need to sleep for a while."

As Zhenwu spoke, he lay down directly, and a moment later, faint snoring sounds began. Had he actually fallen asleep?

Chen Yu slowly stood up. Whether Zhenwu was truly drunk, he didn't know, but Chen Yu felt that he just couldn't be bothered to manage the affairs here anymore.

"Many thanks, Senior." Chen Yu bowed slightly to Zhenwu, then turned and left.

Crossing the nearly leveled mountain top, Chen Yu arrived in front of a mountain body. Following the place Zhenwu mentioned, he found a cave. The surrounding area was carved with dense Ancient Divine Script, and these scripts all carried the intent of suppressing the seal.

Upon arriving here, Chen Yu's spirit felt a moment of trance. He felt that this place was full of Restrictions, and any Dharma Cultivator who arrived here would be heavily suppressed.

He now even felt that he could no longer communicate with the Original Power of heaven and earth for his own use.

It made sense; when the race of Dream Weavers appeared, even the Ancient Gods suffered a great loss. These things didn't know where they came from, but they had truly caused a massive impact on the world at that time.

Therefore, the place where they were imprisoned was certainly not an ordinary place. Chen Yu walked to the cave entrance and saw a huge Blocking Stone hanging at the entrance.
