Chapter 531: Just a Beautiful Memory of Youth
"It's late at night."
Chen Shu looked up at the stars and moon in the sky, then at the fluorescent-lit corridors and stairways among the mountains on the ground, and finally looked at his Mobile Phone.
Haoran Zhengqi: It's late at night.
Qingdeng Gufu: Tonight was very enjoyable.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Donor Grandma, have you finished watching?
Nainai Zongshuo: I saw the monk having a pig-addiction.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Brother Tongdeng is right, tonight was very enjoyable. Seeing as the battle is imminent, let's disband the group here.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Disband countdown.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Five.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Four.
Nainai Zongshuo: You spicy skin!!!!!
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Hahaha.
Haoran Zhengqi: Haha.
Haoran Zhengqi: You can watch it slowly. Anyway, tonight, except for Wuming and Zhaoyeqing, everyone has been exposed once. Let's call it even and end it here.
Qingdeng Gufu: Donor Wuming Fear becoming the biggest winner.
Wuming Renshi: There is also Zhaoyeqing.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: I'm afraid Zhaoyeqing isn't interested in anything except for those of Donor Qingcai and Donor Grandma.
Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: I'm afraid they haven't even watched them.
Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, in any case, it ends here for tonight. Good night, everyone.
Qingcai Keke: Agreed.
Zhaoyeqing: ==
Qingcai Keke:?
"!"
Chen Shu suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Zhaoyeqing: 【Video】
Zhaoyeqing: Don't waste it.
"Cough!"
I knew it!
Although Chen Shu already had a premonition, he still couldn't help but cough.
He clicked on the video, and as expected—
"I want to pee!
"Hey, why is my little birdy like this?
"Ah, wuwuwu, I don't want this little birdy...
"Wuwuwu... come and look!
"I don't want this little birdy! Hurry and change it back for me!
"..."
Chen Shu watched it from beginning to end.
Even though he was watching himself, he still couldn't help but be all smiles.
Look, he had known for a long time that the social death of those years was not a big deal at all now; it was just a beautiful memory of youth. Its only function was to make people smile when reminiscing in the future, allowing oneself to remember the time one had walked through.
At the very least, Chen Shu was watching it with a smile at this moment.
Haoran Zhengqi: Well done.
Zhong Miao Zhimen: Another person betrayed by their closest person has appeared.
Qingcai Keke: Habit becomes nature.
Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, saved.
Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: +1
Ba Kuai Fuji De Meinü: As expected of Brother Chen.
Wuming Renshi: Really fun.
Huran Bikouli: Brother Chen, why does your intelligence regress to childhood every time your consciousness is chaotic?
Jiang Lai: /confused
Qingcai Keke: What's so strange about this? There are even people who turn into huskies every time their consciousness is chaotic.
Nainai Zongshuo: Haha, finally caught up with the progress.
Nainai Zongshuo: Hahahaha, cracked me up.
Nainai Zongshuo: If you don't want it, just cut it off. I'll lend you a Sword.
Nainai Zongshuo: Tonight, you are the biggest loser.
"This..."
Chen Shu couldn't help but sigh.
This is what you asked for.
Qingcai Keke: That's not necessarily true.
Haoran Zhengqi: /eating melon seeds
Zhong Miao Zhimen: The group owner's sense of smell is still sharp.
Green Lamp Ancient Buddha: This monk is ready.
Just Call Me Luo Huaian: Hurry up and post the husky.
Qingcai Keke: Sigh, I originally said tonight would end here, but since a certain husky insists on mocking me, I will share a ringtone with everyone.
Qingcai Keke: 【Music: I Am a Husky (Junior Sister Dynamic Version)】
Grandma Always Says:?????
Grandma Always Says: Holy shit, how do you have this!??
Qingcai Keke: Then you have to thank Seventh Senior Brother.
Grandma Always Says: I'm going to go slaughter him right now.
"Hahaha..."
Chen Shu's laughter traveled very far.
Thinking about it, no matter which person in the group it is, many, many years later, no matter how much they change, if they inadvertently recall this night, they won't be able to help but reveal a smile on their lips, right?
The night was indeed growing deeper.
Chen Shu continued to sit here, not planning to leave tonight, just waiting for the sunrise.
In any case, the night was already very deep and thick.
After reaching the modern era, the world stepped into a new era of cultivation; people often said that the old era had passed and the dawn of the new era had arrived, but facing this night scene before him, although it was already the second day, perhaps the dawn would take a while longer.
Chen Shu finally managed to get the position of Vice Sect Master of the Spirit Sect.
The organizational structure of the Spirit Sect was very modern, and the Vice Sect Master was a position of real power within the Spirit Sect; there had never been a parachuted Vice Sect Master before. Given Chen Shu's age, although his cultivation strength already surpassed the Sect Master, he lacked relevant experience, did not understand the Spirit Sect enough, had no prestige, and was not even a familiar face; logically speaking, he should not have been appointed Vice Sect Master so quickly.
The reason he was given this position now was mainly as a guarantee from the Spirit Sect to him and his family.
Regarding this war, the people who understood it best were still Ning Qing and the gods; others were still not very clear about the specific win rate, so giving Chen Shu the honorary title of Vice Sect Master could ensure that in the event he could not return, his family could be guaranteed compensation and care according to the rules and regulations.
The Spirit Sect was still quite humane.
Immediately, Chen Shu left the Spirit Sect with the Old Sect Master and the Sect Master, heading toward Qingshan Ridge in Yujing.
Chen Jiaoshou, Wei Lvshi, and Chen Banxia had naturally already been informed.
Including the fourteen "Green Demons," there were over one hundred Ninth-Tier Cultivators participating in the battle from Earth this time, with Dayi providing nearly half, including over thirty Ninth-Tier Cultivators and fourteen Artificial Ninth-Rank Cultivators. The remaining Ninth-Tier Cultivators mainly came from the Yaoguo, Lanya, and several major countries, and there were even over a dozen exotic beasts.
Entering the "Battlefield" of the gods required passing through a Forbidden Land, and they ultimately chose the Yujing Killing Forbidden Land.
Thus, over a hundred Ninth-Tier Cultivators gathered here.
Chen Shu quietly peeked at everyone; their expressions were all different.
Some were indifferent, some relaxed, some silent, some grave, some excited, and some were murderous...
The atmosphere like the one around him, mixed with awkwardness, full of mischievous smiles, and people constantly eyeing each other and exchanging glances, should be one of a kind.
Chen Shu stood where he was, motionless, as if he could receive the information in their eyes.
"Master, is the meat delicious?"
"Ziyang, in this situation, won't you write a poem?"
"Imperial Brother, the Imperial Grandfather is right there, why don't you go and express your stance to him?"
"Has your little bird changed back?"
"There is mud on the ground..."
"Let's go, to the restroom, are you coming?"
"Brother Jiang's butt is so perky!"
"Student Yan's singing voice is also very beautiful..."
"Husky, come, bark a few more times!"
In a trance, Chen Shu felt as if he had practiced the Heart Dao; just by looking at everyone's expressions, he could see through their thoughts. The most terrifying thing was that this group of people seemed to have mastered this skill today?
Everyone is a Secret Sect Practitioner?
Chen Shu felt shocked.
At the same time, others were also looking at them.
For no other reason than that this group of young people was truly too unique; the aura they radiated was simply one of a kind here.
The new Emperor of Dayi sighed leisurely: "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers..."
The white-haired King Jin said from the side: "Being relaxed is a good thing; they are not as reckless as you think."
On the other side, the ruler of the Night God Hall watched from afar, feeling that this group of young people were not going to conquer a foreign realm, but going on an outing. He then turned his head to look at the two silent young Night People on his side, and for a moment, he didn't know who was the most bloodthirsty and warlike race.
Over at the Eastern Continent Yaoguo, four young members of the Demon Race gathered together, also looking over here.
"Are Daoist Jiang and the others not nervous at all?"
"As expected of people from the Xia Kingdom, their bearing is extraordinary."
"I always thought they were crazy, but now it seems that this group of Xia Kingdom people is the most capable of withstanding pressure... It was I who judged them by their appearance."
"I want to go over and play with Daoist Chen and the others..."
Just then, the Forbidden Land opened with a boom, and Divine Power spilled out.
The Killing Forbidden Land suddenly turned black, becoming a black hole that neither light nor Spirit Power could penetrate. But apart from inside the Forbidden Land, the outer layer was not affected; the god-making mechanism of the Killing Forbidden Land had not been activated, but rather another function had been opened.
The door had opened, and everyone could not help but look at each other.
It was not fear, but etiquette.
Finally, the Yi Emperor stepped out first, looked at everyone in silence, took a step, and entered the Forbidden Land.
The elderly Crown Princess King Jin, the young generation's group leader, Meng Chunqiu, and a crowd of Yi Kingdom military Ninth-Tier Cultivators followed closely behind, entering the Forbidden Land one after another. The Ninth-Tier Cultivators from the various sects and schools of the Yi Kingdom and the fourteen Green Demons also flew forward, and the remaining Ninth-Tier Cultivators were not willing to fall behind.
One figure after another was swallowed by the black hole-like Forbidden Land.
A slight sensation of space-time tearing occurred, and at the same time, the world became dark and silent, like traveling through the universe; perception temporarily vanished, but there was no Spiritual Power, and the only time perception was restored in the middle was a violent shock of Spirit Power, as if passing through something.
When perception was fully restored, before his eyes was still a stretch of darkness.
This place was already the "Battlefield" of the gods, the place where gods had resisted the invasion of powers from other Planes for tens of thousands of years.
This place was originally empty, with no stars, no air, and no radiation; it was cleaner than outer space and nearly approached absolute zero. It is unknown which god or which generation of gods brought a planet here from the outside, making it finally no longer empty and providing a place to stand, yet there was still no light source.
When the group first arrived, they were in space, then quickly descended toward this planet under the pull of Divine Power, until they stood upon this land.
Without the intake of light, it was almost pure darkness.
Why was it said to be "almost"?
Because before landing on this planet, when looking at it from outside the planet, it actually had a tiny bit of light.
A tiny bit that was almost invisible.
After arriving on this planet, it became completely dark.
Chen Shu suddenly fell silent.
The flow of time here is about ten times that of the outside; in other words, a god whose lifespan should have been ten thousand years but only existed for a thousand years has actually spent about ten thousand years here in reality.
It is hard to imagine that for tens of thousands of years in the outside world, so many gods have spent the rest of their lives here, guarding the common people of the Plane.
Silently and soundlessly, there was suddenly light here.
A glowing phantom appeared in mid-air; it was the Martial Ancestor Emperor of Dayi from back then. As soon as he appeared, the few members of the Dayi Imperial Family hurriedly bowed, and the remaining Ninth Stage experts of Dayi could not help but offer their respects to this God Emperor.
"We are working together to open the Plane gate, which will take about six days of outside time. Do not leave this planet and make full preparations."
As the voice fell, the light and shadow vanished.
Darkness descended here once again.
Everyone made their own preparations.
Some sat quietly in meditation, some moved away from the crowd, and most were silent.
"Six days, huh..."
Chen Shu looked up toward a certain direction.
It seemed that the gods were not on this planet, but gathered at the very edge of this space; perhaps that was the place closest to the Withered Plane.
"Sigh..."
Chen Shu could not help but feel some emotion.
Ning Qing, who was beside him, cast her gaze toward him, still with that same question: "What are you thinking about?"
"Reflecting."
"..."
Ning Qing pursed her lips and said nothing more.
Chen Shu looked at the others again.
At this moment, everyone had stopped joking around and put away their foolishness; even without emotions like nervousness or Fear, they felt the heaviness.
This battle must not be lost.
