Chapter 652: Yang Xu’s Return
It was one year since the spiritual rain began falling.
On this day, a tear suddenly appeared in the sky and a man fell out.
The man wore a colourful red robe and his aura exuded a trace of fire.
"I am finally back." He said.
At the same time, he unleashed his spiritual sense and began searching the Cangxing world.
However, a moment later, he froze, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Is this the Cangxing world?" He muttered.
He had been away for several thousand years and expected some changes.
However, he didn’t expect nothing to have stayed the same.
"Wait..., this spiritual rain..." Yang Xu took a deep breath and suddenly froze.
"Has the Cangxing world already become a high-grade world? Why..., have Nianzhen and Jiang Yue advanced to the immortal king realm?"
Yang Xu couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because of an accident, he received a blessing which reduced the number of years he needed for his tribulation trial.
Unexpectedly, he returned ahead of time but his disciple was better and had already advanced to the immortal king realm.
"This kid." He sighed but was secretly happy.
After all, Nianzhen was his disciple and Jiang Yue was his disciple’s taoist companion.
Although he was left in the dust, Yang Xu was still happy for the two.
"Since I don’t know where they are, I will first absorb the spiritual rain and then find them." He decided, found a hidden place, and sat-cross legged.
Time passed in the blink of an eye and before he knew it, it was thirty years later.
After absorbing the last drop of rain, Yang Xu stood up and once again began searching.
He went from town to town and eventually arrived in Tianqi City.
"I heard the spiritual rain was because the two immoral masters of the Zhenyue family have advanced to the immortal king realm." Someone said and Yang Xu immediately perked up.
"I also heard the same."
"I wonder how the immortal masters look like."
"Don’t even think about it."
"Think about what?"
"The two immortal masters are taoist partners. Don’t dream about either of them."
"What are you talking about? How can I dream about it? I just want to see them."
"Who doesn’t? Unfortunately, they rarely come to the mainland."
’Immortal masters? Zhenyue family? Taoist partners?’ Yang Xu narrowed his eyes.
A moment later, he appeared in front of several gossipers.
"Several juniors, where does the Zhenyue family live?" He asked.
Hearing this, several people looked at Yang Xu like he was crazy.
’Is there someone who doesn’t know where the Zhenyue family lives?" They wondered.
However, they couldn’t see the opponent’s cultivation so they didn’t dare to mock him.
"I heard the Zhenyue family lives in the Fog Sea." One of the crowd said.
"Fog sea? Where is that?" Yang Xu frowned and the crowd couldn’t help but be surprised.
After all, the Fog Sea was a famous forbidden area in the Cangxing world.
How could someone not know about the Fog Sea?
Thinking this way, several people looked at each other but still answered honestly.
"The Fog Sea is several kilometres away from the East Sea shore. However, ordinary cultivators can’t reach that place. Senior, you should wait for the Zhenyue ship if you want to go to the Fog Sea."
Yang Xu had a headache.
He felt a little stupid asking so many questions but he couldn’t help it.
After all, he had been away from the Cangxing world for several thousand years and everything had changed.
"When will the ship arrive?" He asked.
"It will arrive in two days. The senior can buy a ticket before then."
’What are these two kids doing?’ Yang Xu couldn’t help but wonder.
From what he had learned, he speculated that Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue had established a clan.
For some reason, this clan lived on the sea and people needed ship tickets to get to that place.
In the end, Yang Xu couldn’t make heads or tails of it so he sighed and gave up.
"Where can I buy a ticket?" He asked.
"You can buy it in the Zhenyue mall." A girl said, pointing at huge building.
After thanking the group, Yang Xu went to the mall.
However, before he could buy a ticket, a handsome puppet rushed towards him.
"Excuse me, are you senior Yang Xu?" The man asked.
"I am." Yang Xu answered in a confused voice.
"My master has asked us to keep an eye out for you and several others." The puppet said.
"Who is your master?" Yang Xu asked but he already know.
"My master is Yu Nianzhen." The puppet said and quickly continued.
"If the senior wants, I can arrange a ship to the Zhenyue Archipelago."
Everything was easy after that.
Five hours later, Yang Xu arrived at the Zhenyue Archipelago and two faces he hadn’t seen in several thousand years appeared before me.
"Master/Master Yang." Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue excitedly called.
"Nianzhen, Jiang Yue." Yang Xu smiled when he saw the two.
Although it was normal for cultivators to not see each other for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, he had really missed the two and was glad to see them.
"Master, congratulations for advancing to the immortal realm." Yu Nianzhen said and Yang Xu almost rolled his eyes.
"I arrived thirty years ago; just in time to receive the blessings of your break through. Congratulations." He said.
"We got lucky." Jiang Yue said.
"What’s going on? Did you establish a clan?" Yang Xu asked, looking around in confusion.
"We will talk slowly when we get home." Yu Nianzhen said, gesturing for the two to get on a small boat.
Soon after, the trio arrived on the first island.
"What’s going on with the qi on this island?" Yang Xu asked, inhaling the dense qi that had almost turned to liquid.
"We live here so we naturally have to treat ourselves well." Jiang Yue shrugged while leading the way into the ancient palace.
After entering the sitting room, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue sat together while Yang Xu sat across.
"Master, we have prepared a lot of wine for you." Yu Nianzhen said and removed a pot of wine from his space ring.
"Mmh." Yang Xu nodded but didn’t start drinking right away.
"Have you been well?" He asked.
"Master, in fact, ..."
After that, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue told Yang Xu about their death in the previous life, reincarnation in the modern world, and then transmigration to the Cangxing world.
"So you returned to Earth to get your friends and families?" Yang Xu asked and the two nodded.
"We brought them back and established the Zhenyue family."
"I see." Yang Xu nodded in understanding.
Although he never said it, he had long suspected the two disciples had an extraordinary destiny.
However, he never expected they were reincarnations of ancient masters.
"Master, how are Xuan Ke and the rest? What about the Cangxing mountain?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Don’t worry. You left a good foundation so the Cangxing mountain is holding its own. As for your friends and sworn brothers, they are all doing well. They should return in a few thousand years."
Hearing this, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue suddenly discovered a problem.
"Master, why did you return so early?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"I encountered an opportunity which allowed me to complete the trials ahead of time."
"Congratulations." Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue said.
"Mmh." Yang Xu nodded.
"What about senior Murong?" Jiang Yue asked.
"He is still in the Reincarnation World. He will return when the time comes." The man said and a trace of longing flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the look, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue didn’t know what to say.
After all, they had never been in a situation where they were separated from their lover by insurmountable distance.
"What’s going on in the Cangxing world?" Yang Xu changed the subject.
"Master..." Yu Nianzhen sighed and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"Master, XiaoYue and I had a precognitive dream." Yu Nianzhen said and quickly explained what he and Jiang Yue had foreseen.
In the same breath, he also talked about the demon dragon, Kong Yunfei, and the sealed spaces.
Hearing this, Yang Xu fell into thought and didn’t speak for several moments.
When he did, he had a solemn expression which made Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue sit a little straighter.
"Your thoughts are correct." The man started and quickly continued.
"There are some threats we can’t predict or control but there are some that we can. For now, we should focus on eliminating the threats that we can."
"We plan to let the righteous sects deal with the evil sects while we deal with the enemies in the sealed spaces." Jiang Yue said but soon frowned.
"I am afraid that some of the enemies will be able to get out of the sealed spaces now that the Cangxing world has become a high-level world."
"It’s possible." Yang Xu nodded.
However, they at least had a course of action.
