Chapter 555: Chapter 554: Back to Jing University! The Qin Family Has Gone Mad? Sworn to Kill Chu Sheng?
Down below, everyone was stunned when they heard this.
The Map of Mountains and Rivers? What’s that?
The legendary ultimate treasure of Nuwa? Does that thing really exist?
"Ancestral Land? My guess is your ancestors had nowhere else to go back then, stumbled upon this Grotto Heaven, and just claimed it for themselves. After living here for ten thousand years, you actually started thinking of yourselves as the masters..."
Chu Sheng was almost certain this place was definitely not the true Witch Ancestral Land.
Of course, the Ancestral Hall did contain the aura of the Ancestral Witches, so it might have some other connection to the Witch Race. But he would have to study it slowly to figure out the specifics.
The crowd below fell completely silent.
If what this mosquito said was true... wouldn’t that make the Ancestral Land their Witch Race had protected for ten thousand years a colossal joke?
Were they the real outsiders?
Many wanted to retort, to ask him how he could prove what he was saying was true.
But seeing his impatient expression, no one dared to speak up in the end.
Ultimately, under Yun Yao’s lead, all the surviving Witch Race People stepped forward one by one and used a Secret Technique to sign a permanent master-servant contract with Chu Sheng.
After "renewing" her own contract, Yun Yao had a thought and retrieved an arm-sized stone statue from her Storage Ring.
The statue landed on the ground and grew in the wind, quickly transforming into a massive sculpture over ten meters tall.
An ancient and heavy aura washed over them.
It was Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches who mastered the Law of Earth, also known as the Mother of the Earth.
Chu Sheng gazed at the statue, lost in thought.
’What’s the relationship between this thing and the real Twelve Ancestral Witches?’
’Why did it appear on the second level of Secret Realm Zero?’
’And what’s its connection to the core of this Grotto Heaven?’
There were simply too many things he didn’t understand.
Chu Sheng shook his head and stopped overthinking it. With a thought, he moved the massive Houtu statue into his Primordial Grotto Heaven, placing it just outside the Ancestral Hall.
Having done all this, Chu Sheng upheld his end of the bargain and fulfilled his promise.
He simply flapped his wings.
An invisible Power of Origin from the world instantly enveloped the entire Witch Ancestral Land.
The marks of the curse on all the Witch Race People faded away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The curse that had plagued them for over ten thousand years, forcing generation after generation to live in pain and despair, was just like that... easily, lifted.
For the master of this world, eliminating an external Curse Power was the simplest of tasks.
In fact, according to what the phantom of that Ancient God had said before, as long as one reached the Divine Realm and displayed their divine abilities, they would have a chance to control a Grotto Heaven world.
In other words, over the past ten thousand years, if the Witch Race had been able to nurture just one Divine Realm expert, they could have solved this curse themselves.
Unfortunately, they had clearly failed to do so.
Allowing a mosquito like him to reap the benefits.
At this moment, all the Witch Race People below were dumbfounded.
They subconsciously touched their smooth skin, feeling an unprecedented lightness and freedom in their Bloodline.
The pain that had clung to them like maggots to a bone, tormenting their ancestors for generations, was really... gone?
Was it that simple?
Just because that mosquito flapped its wings?
After a brief, dead silence, an uncontrollable wave of ecstasy and excitement surged up from the bottom of everyone’s heart.
"My curse... my curse is really gone!"
"SOB SOB SOB... Father, Mother, did you see that? We... we’re saved!"
Tears suppressed for countless years burst forth like a dam breaking at this moment.
In the plaza, cries shook the heavens—an outburst of tears of joy.
They looked at the not-so-large mosquito in the sky, and the look in their eyes completely changed.
Their previous fear and forced submission were now mixed with a trace of heartfelt... gratitude and awe.
Watching her people’s reactions, the last trace of reluctance in Yun Yao’s heart quietly dissipated.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then became the first to kowtow deeply and solemnly to Chu Sheng in the sky.
"Witch Clan Saintess Yun Yao pays respect to Master!"
Her voice, carried by the vibrations of her Qi Blood, spread clearly throughout the entire plaza.
The other clan leaders and members immediately reacted, following her lead and kneeling. With all their strength, they let out the most sincere cry of their lives.
"We pay respect to Master!"
"From this day forward, the entire Witch Race will obey only the Master’s command!!"
"From this day forward..."
[Ding! Faint Power of Faith detected. Absorbing... Power of Faith +513!]
"?" Chu Sheng was taken aback.
’Power of Faith? What the hell is that? I can absorb this too? What’s it good for?’
[Currently useless. After the Host enters the Divine Realm, the Power of Faith will be indispensable for establishing a Divine Country.]
Chu Sheng rolled his eyes.
"...Then what’s the fucking point of telling me? I’m only at the King-level!"
He couldn’t be bothered with the system’s nonsense. His gaze swept over the kneeling crowd below as he gave Yun Yao his orders.
"From now on, I’m leaving this place in your hands."
"Remember, if any beings similar to those three women from before descend again, notify me immediately through the master-servant contract."
"Also, when you have free time, besides Cultivation and having children, I want you to research. Don’t let go of any clue related to the Spirit Realm."
"Anyone who can provide important information will be handsomely rewarded!"
After giving these instructions, Chu Sheng didn’t linger.
He was burning with impatience, wanting only to return to Blue Star immediately and figure out what the hell this so-called Spirit Realm was.
With a thought, his figure vanished completely from this world.
Watching Chu Sheng leave, the members of the Witch Race in the plaza slowly rose to their feet, looking at each other in dismay.
...
...
In a dense forest somewhere in the Wu Mountains, the air rippled.
A small, jet-black mosquito radiating a King-level aura appeared out of thin air.
It was Chu Sheng.
He glanced around and realized his location was no longer the altar where he had entered the Grotto Heaven.
’It seems this Grotto Heaven really is very different from a Secret Realm.’
’This thing is like it’s alive; the entrance and exit can change location at will.’
’But a Secret Realm is dead. The entrance is fixed and doesn’t move.’
At the same time, Chu Sheng felt a sense of emptiness in his body.
The feeling of being able to control heaven and earth, to hold the power of life and death in his hands, which he had in the Ancestral Land, had completely vanished.
As long as he wasn’t inside his own Grotto Heaven, he was back to being just an ordinary, King-level little mosquito.
"Damn, what a huge difference."
Chu Sheng rubbed his mosquito legs together.
"No wonder all those old immortal experts in novels like to hide in their Grotto Heavens and blessed lands and never come out."
"Being a god in your own home really is an amazing feeling!"
Chu Sheng sighed with emotion and didn’t dwell on it any longer.
He directly activated his Boundless Wings!
His figure vanished on the spot. After several consecutive spatial teleports, he precisely pinpointed the direction of the Capital City.
Capital City University!
That was where the most comprehensive and ancient collection of books in all of Great Xia was located!
’If I want to research the Spirit Realm, that’s the first place I should go!’
Chu Sheng rushed into an office building in a mad hurry.
He flew straight through the window and into Vice-Principal Sun Deming’s office.
Sun Deming was sitting at his desk, staring at a document with a worried expression.
Chu Sheng directly used his Soul Power to transmit his voice.
"Principal! Help me look something up! It’s urgent!!!"
"Aiyo, what the hell?!"
Sun Deming was so startled by the sudden voice that he nearly threw his pen.
He looked up, alarmed and suspicious, only to find a mosquito hovering in front of him.
This aura... it was Chu Sheng!
Sun Deming was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on him: the little mosquito had already advanced to King-level! His Mental Power was beginning to transform into Soul Power, allowing him to transmit his voice through his soul!
A huge wave of delighted surprise washed over him.
"Holy crap! You’re finally back, you little ancestor!"
But this delight didn’t even last three seconds before it instantly turned into deep anxiety and panic!
"Wait! You... how do you dare come back?!"
Sun Deming shot to his feet, lowered his voice, and said urgently, "The Qin Family has gone crazy! They’re looking for you all over the world! Didn’t you get the news?!"
Chu Sheng frowned. The Qin Family?
Of course, he knew what he had done.
He had plundered their treasury, wiping out centuries of accumulation in one fell swoop.
The entire Qin Family estate had been reduced to ruins by the Celestial Tribulation he had attracted!
For a top-tier Noble Family, one of the top three in Huaxia, this was tantamount to throwing their face on the ground and stomping on it!
Not to mention Gu Yuexi publicly slapping the Qin Family’s old master in the face, or how Qin Wudao, the Qilin of the Qin Family, had been crippled. The Qin Family had surely placed the blame for all these old and new grudges on him and Gu Yuexi.
This grudge had indeed become one that could only end in death.
"Didn’t you hear the news?"
"Yesterday, the Qin Family announced to the world and made a blood oath to kill you and Gu Yuexi!"
"Hey... what about that girl, Gu Yuexi? Your master? Isn’t she with you?!"
Sun Deming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, urging him repeatedly, "Go! Leave now! Before the Qin Family finds you, get as far away as you can!"
