Chapter 450: Chapter 170: Chen Chang’an advises farmers, Shen Xuzi predicts the disaster! _2
Often times, he was able to vaguely perceive what Shen Xuzi was pondering in his heart, sometimes even very clear thoughts, as is currently the case.
However, what stunned Chen Chang’an was, even though he had now attained the rank of the great Heavenly Venerate, ruling Six Daos, he was simply unable to discern Shen Xuzi’s full picture!
This was not normal!
You should know that even with a disparity in Realms, under the constraint of a slave contract, he, as the master, should theoretically be able to perceive something.
But the current situation was such that he could not gain even a bit of information.
What kind of existence was this old coot during his peak?
"What’s wrong, lad, why are you suddenly looking at me this way? Is there something on my face?" Shen Xuzi found Chen Chang’an observing him and immediately asked confused.
"Nothing." Chen Chang’an shook his head.
"I’m just curious about what happened to you in the past that even now you are so bad off that you don’t even have a complete remnant body."
Upon hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, Shen Xuzi got excited and began to sigh:
"Well, lad, If you were to ask about anything else, I might not have the answer for you, but if it’s about this, I have plenty to share."
"You have no idea, during that one battle, galaxies shattered, time collapsed, Heaven and Earth split apart, even the earth was black."
"All ten primordial spirits participated in the war, Primordial Demon perished, the spirit ancient tree declined..!"
"Even presences like the Primal Warden God Elephant could only weep in sorrow, collapsing into pieces."
Getting to this point, Shen Xuzi turned his gaze to Chen Chang’an and suddenly asked:
"Lad, do you remember the woman we saw in the spirit ancient tree last time?"
Chen Chang’an nodded his head.
"That woman is actually the predecessor of the spirit ancient tree. She nurtured the ancient tree from Heaven and Earth."
"In terms of ranks, she was the only one among the ten Sprits who could surpass the Primal Warden God Elephant."
"But, in that war, she also fell."
"As you have seen, the divinity scattered throughout the Great Wilderness is what she left behind after being heavily injured."
"That was the end of the ancient era."
Shen Xuzi spoke with a tone of reminiscence, Chen Chang’an’s question appeared to have stirred up his memories.
Next, he wanted to continue his narrative:
"Also..."
"Hold up! Old man, you seem to have completely left out your own part. If I remember correctly, my question was about your experiences, not someone else’s."
However, before Shen Xuzi could finish, Chen Chang’an interrupted him.
"Lad, can’t you just let me finish first, don’t you know to respect your elders?"
"Moreover, a hero’s entrance needs a buildup. Without the buildup, how the heck am I supposed to get to the climax?"
Shen Xuzi retorted without backing down a bit.
Then, he continued his leisurely narration:
"You have no idea, that old woman dragged herself to my side, begging me to unleash the seal, to ascend to the utmost, to aid her in making a comeback, and in saving this world."
"You know, I am such a person that while I might not have any other good qualities, I am always enthusiastic when it comes to saving the world."
"Hence, I entered the fray."
"At that time, I held a forty-meter-long butcher knife in my hand, hacking my way from the south gate to the north gate, silencing Heaven and Earth..."
"Finally, I escorted that old woman into that realm..."
"Hey! Hey!? Lad, don’t walk off while I’m still speaking, don’t leave...!"
However, as he kept speaking, Shen Xuzi noticed that something was amiss.
Did Chen Chang’an really just turn and walk away?
This brat, he was utterly disrespectful of the elderly!
Unexpectedly, as Shen Xuzi chased after him, prepared to continue his chattering, the previously departing Chen Chang’an turned around to strike up a conversation:
"Eh? Wait."
"Old man, you mentioned that the old woman.. ahem, that woman entered another world?"
"What kind of world was that?" Chen Chang’an asked curiously.
"What could it be but the world where all disasters originate!" Shen Xuzi responded without hesitation.
"Lad, let me tell you, if it weren’t for some delay on my part back then, I would’ve fought all the way to that world too. Impressed, aren’t you?"
"What’s that world called?" Chen Chang’an asked curiously.
Although nine out of ten of Shen Xuzu’s words were lies, Chen Chang’an felt like he might be telling the truth this time.
Of course, apart from the boastful part.
"I don’t know what it was called." Shen Xuzi shook his head:
"However, I once heard a mention of it from a being that emerged from there; it seemed to be called something with Dao... That’s right, Dao Origin, Dao Origin Realm!"
Huh?!
Dao Origin Realm?!
Upon hearing Shen Xuzu’s words, Chen Chang’an was immediately taken aback.
"What’s the matter, isn’t it just a name, why are you so surprised?"
Seeing Chen Chang’an’s reaction, Shen Xuzi was pretty puzzled.
He subsequently added, "I’ve heard it’s said to be the world that’s closest to Dao in all of Heaven and Earth, the source of all things can be traced back to it."
"However, you better not think about this matter for now, without reaching the complete Ninth Stage, you don’t even qualify to look up at it!"
The statement Shen Xuzi made was unapologetically blunt, naturally, there was also a hint of showing off in front of Chen Chang’an.
