Chapter 39: Old Feng
"Even though endless time has passed, it wasn't for the sake of achieving immortality, only for the sake of waiting for your return to the mortal world. After endless reincarnations on the longevity path, can we meet again in the future?!" It was signed—Chen Tian!
A middle-aged man read the words on the stone.
The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere froze again. Everyone felt the temperature around them drop by a few degrees.
Could it be that this person, going by the name of Chen Tian, left everything that happened here behind? He even carved a line of words? Who was he waiting for? Was it the ghost-faced, masked youth in his memory or that helpless little girl?
"Today's discovery might shock the entire world... " Everyone thought.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound broke the silence. A crack appeared on the boulder.
"Look! The house is gone!"
The thatched cottage that was there before was now completely empty, as if it had finally done its job after many years. It was unknown when it disappeared, but the ancient thatched cottage did not seem to exist.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
The cracks in the rock became denser. While everyone was stunned and at a loss, the old professor suddenly picked up his camera and started snapping pictures of the rock.
When the old professor pressed the shutter button, the whole rock broke into pieces and flew away. Following that, more and more rocks fell from the ceiling.
Everyone pulled the old professor out of the cave and quickly retreated out of it. The people who returned to the top of the cliff looked at the collapsed cave below and secretly rejoiced. If they had retreated a step later, they might have.
The only one who seemed to be possessed was the old professor, who muttered to himself while hugging his camera.
"Chen Tian, Chen Tian, Chen Tian!"
"We must find him! Even if it means death, we must find him!"
"He must have left this place behind..."
At the foot of Mount Kunlun, Chen Tian, who had no idea what was happening on the cliff, was quietly walking on the ancient path.
Four hours had passed since he obtained the Eternal Celestial Sword Art. Chen Tian was not in a hurry to return to the Tevat continent, nor did he return to his own home. Instead, he found a quiet corner in the mountain and carefully studied the Eternal Celestial Sword Art.
In one hour, Chen Tian had more or less digested the Eternal Celestial Sword Art. It was completely in line with his current cultivation level, and he had also comprehended a few practical moves.
Also, Chen Tian's cultivation was close to breakthrough to the Qi Refinement Realm.
"The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth within a thousand miles of Kunlun Mountain was not enough for me to break through to the Qi Refinement Realm? If it was the Meridian Opening Realm or the Foundation Establishment Realm, I'm afraid the spirit qi on Earth would not be enough for me to cultivate."
"There's too little spirit qi on Earth. It's far inferior to the spirit qi on the Tevat continent. Fortunately, people on Earth don't use spirit qi."
Now that it was autumn, the maple trees on the mountain were as red as the morning sun. It was a good time to enjoy the scenery. Many tourists were laughing happily as they hurried past.
"The spirit qi on Earth is too thin and unsuitable for cultivation. However, this is my hometown. I feel an inexplicable sense of peace here."
After returning to being a cultivator, Chen Tian's state of mind slowly changed. Especially after seeing the Ghost-faced Great Empress' memories, an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.
He let out a soft sigh and pulled out a book with pictures of the world's most famous mountains and rivers. He flipped through it, preparing to find the next location.
"Hello, handsome. You're alone. I'm also alone. Why don't we add each other on WeChat?"
A fashionable girl with delicate features hops up to him.
As soon as she finished speaking, she handed a note with her Flying Letter number to Chen Tian.
Chen Tian didn't accept it and politely declined. Then, he continued to search for the next famed mountain and walked down the mountain.
As she watched Chen Tian's back gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes were filled with stars. She did not notice that her best friend had already come to her side.
"Wake up, wake up! He's already left!"
"But he's so handsome!"
"His scent is so comfortable, and his aura is so charming."
It was as if she was not the one who had been rejected. She looked at her best friend with starry eyes and said.
Hearing the conversation of the little girls behind him, Chen Tian's heart did not waver. On the way down the mountain, people kept looking at Chen Tian.
"Why is he wearing a half-sleeved shirt on such a cold day? Isn't he cold?"
"He really wanted to be elegant and didn't care about keeping warm. Isn't he just a little handsome? Why is he pretending?"
"He looks like a sissy. Is he pretending to be masculine in a half-sleeved shirt?"
Chen Tian also ignored them. It is impossible to speak to persons of limited experience after all. He continued to flip through the book in his hand. He had already decided on the next famed mountain.
"The legendary Pilgrimage Grounds of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Seventy-Two Monarchs. Mount Tai should have many opportunities and this applies only to China. What about the other nations?"
"After the party I should return to the Tevat Continent first."
When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, he brushed past an old man dressed in traditional Chinese attire. However, the old man's body suddenly trembled. He turned his head in shock and tried to find Chen Tian's figure, but there was a sea of people, and he could no longer be found.
"What happened, Elder Feng?"
"Did you notice that the young man just now had a very special aura? But I can't pinpoint what it is," replied the old man.
"Then I'll arrange for someone to look for him immediately." As he spoke, the middle-aged man subconsciously straightened his back and was about to take out his phone to make a call.
"There's no need to trouble yourself. I just find it a little strange. Since I didn't find him just now, forget it. I've already retired anyway, so you don't have to be so formal."
"Let's hurry up and go up the mountain to find Old Wang. Don't let him wait too long."
The surrounding people were stunned. Only Elder Feng would dare to call Professor Wang Old Wang.
"This old bastard hurriedly called me over. He said that he had discovered something that transcended time. He even said that it was from hundreds of millions of years ago. Words, things flying in the sky, civilizations, and whatnot. He's just bullshitting me."
"If this old thing is lying to me, you guys beat him up for me. I'm already so old, yet he still won't let me live in peace."
"Alright!" The middle-aged man replied with a smile, but he was secretly very suspicious.
Hit Professor Wang? I think you should just beat me to death.
