Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1425: Earth Realm (1): Beauty Is Not Ageing, But Where Is the King?
In a certain part of the Qilian mountains in Qinghai Province, an old woman with a linen coat and veil lay on a bamboo chair in a straw cottage.
His hands danced in the air as if he was leading an orchestra, and streams of energy fluctuated around him. At the ends, the flow of energy combined to form a handkerchief with brilliant lights and bright colors.
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded from the direction of the door. The old woman immediately stopped her hand movements and stood up.
“Taois Tang, have you not ascended to the Eternal World yet? How did you come back? ” After seeing who it was, the old woman who was robbed of linen put down the handkerchief. “Don't tell me that you failed to get through the Tribulation Period and part of your soul is back again.”
“Cough ..” Tang Xiu originally planned to smile widely when greeting the old woman, but after hearing what the old woman said, his handsome face started to blush.
After seeing the old woman's naughty facial expression, she then realized that she was doing that goal.
“It's good to make you laugh. I came to visit you to show my gratitude for having nurtured the Nine Maids back then. ” Tang Xiu cupped his fists toward the old woman, who symbolized greeting.
Tang Xiu had great respect for the old woman.
Compared to other rulers throughout the different eras of China, this old woman was someone who truly protected China. He was almost a thousand years old, yet he never left China. He chose to stay and protect this land all this time in secret and has saved China from many genocidal threats. At the same time, his strength had managed to restrain other countries as well.
“Taois Tang is too polite. It was fate that brought Zhong Ling and the other brats to me. They also helped me solve many problems in my cultivation as well. If we really want to talk about gratitude, I should be the one to thank Daoist Tang. ” The old woman was not excited and calmly replied.
Tang Xiu couldn't help but stop. When he ascended back then, did the old woman not ask him to take her to the Eternal World? Why was it that after several decades, the old woman seemed to have no interest in the idea of ascending to the Eternal World?
Tang Xiu understood very quickly. He had no idea what the old woman was going through, but he knew that his life was coming to an end.
“Li Daoist, when I go up, do some dangerous figures appear again?” After recognizing the heavy wound on the old woman's body, Tang Xiu couldn't help his curiosity and asked.
“Taois Tang, my old body is up. Don't tease me anymore. A few decades ago, when Miao Wentang and Shao Mingzhen made it through the Tribulation and ascended, I thought the Tribulation became easier. In the end, when I tried to get through the Tribulation two years ago, I almost lost my life, the ”old woman said this and stared intently at Tang Xiu.
After hearing her words, an expression of awkwardness crept onto Tang Xiu's face.
“I'm really sorry. When I went up back then, I was just focused on revenge. I was afraid that by taking you with me, it would affect your Heavenly Dao karmically, so I had to refuse. Please accept this gift as my apology. ” When Tang Xiu said this, he pointed to the old woman.
The old woman, looking at Tang Xiu's finger, suddenly couldn't move.
He saw a line of green light emerge from Tang Xiu's finger, then quickly surged into his body.
After the green light entered his body, his wounds and inner wounds instantly healed. His life force quickly increased as well and finally, his appearance also changed to younger by the second.
After a while, Tang Xiu pulled his finger with a grain of sweat visible on his forehead.
This was because he had just injected his own vitality into the old woman for use. He felt that it was worth it.
“This... This... I'm very grateful to Daoist Tang. I have nothing I can give in return. If Daoist Tang doesn't like it, then I'm willing to be your servant and do whatever you want. ” After feeling the total change within her body, the old woman was completely amazed by Tang Xiu's divine ability and was also filled with gratitude.
“Taois Li, you've been cultivating on Earth for a thousand years. Have you ever felt that there was something abnormal on Earth? For example, many objects belonging to the Eternal World and the God Realm suddenly appeared on Earth. ” Tang Xiu looked at the old woman and laughed. He only asked this after the old woman calmed down.
“Now that Daoist Tang has mentioned it, it is true. I have realized that many abnormal things have happened. Although my strength on Earth can be considered as top level, there are still many places that I really cannot see nor do I dare to approach. ” The old woman did not know what Tang Xiu hinted at, so she just followed.
“What if I say that the Earth was not always like this, but was once a God Realm. However, due to the great war, Earth has become what it is today. Do you trust me? ”
“What? How is that possible? ” The old woman heard this and was very surprised. He began to refute the claim, but he slowly thought hard. After a while, he muttered. “If Earth really was once a God Realm, then the things that happened to me in Shennong Hill Back, Ghost King Valley back then can be explained.”
“Taois Li, there is something unfair to ask you. If you don't mind, would you be able to stay on Earth and not ascend, while helping me investigate all the abnormal places on Earth? If Daoist Li can give me valuable information, then I will naturally give you abundant gifts for them. ” After she heard that the old woman also knew things in the Ghost King Valley, Tang Xiu's eyes sparkled.
Star City, Old River Street district, Shanty Area, Su Family Restaurant.
Although it is still quite early in the morning, it has been seen a line of customers waiting for the restaurant to open.
After decades of urban growth, Star City had already changed completely. The Old River Street district has been renovated and rebuilt. Only Shanty Area and Su Family Restaurant remained. At most, they had just renovated the outer wall, which made this area a special place in Star City.
“Did you guys think Cheng Yannan would come and join Teacher Xia's sixtieth birthday? He was once his favorite student. ”
“I heard that Su Xiangfei did invite Cheng Yannan. As for whether he would appear or not, that was another story. After all, the Magnificent Tang Corporation was a huge responsibility. Anything can happen at any time. ”
“I saw Cheng Yannan on the news yesterday and she looks like a twenty-year-old woman. There was no age mark on his face and he did not look at all like a forty year old! She looks like a fairy. ”
…
Cheng Yannan was a hot topic back then.
Although Cheng Yannan had actually awakened a special ability, her cultivation talent was average, so she could not keep up with the cultivation speed of the Tang Sect members. Even then, Tang Xiu was willing to take her with him when he ascended to the Eternal World, but he rejected her wisely.
The reason for his refusal was simple. The Magnificent Tang Corporation was simply too big. Long Zhengyu might not be able to handle it if he left. Furthermore, even if he ascended to the Eternal World, he would not be of much help. Hence, it was better for him to stay on Earth and take care of the Overwhelming Tang Company replacing Tang Xiu.
As Tang Xiu and Cheng Xuemei failed to persuade him, they could only let Cheng Yannan follow his path and stay on Earth. At the same time, they gave all the responsibilities of the Overwhelming Tang Company to Cheng Yannan. As for Long Zhengyu, he was left in charge of the Island of the Nine Dragons and other businesses. However, he could now spend more time and effort cultivating.
South Gate Town, Villa Number 9.
Before leaving Earth, Tang Xiu had given his home to Cheng Yannan to take care of. Cheng Yannan did not make any changes and immediately moved.
“President Cheng, Mr. Xia Mingjie's birthday party officially starts at 12:10. Do you want to go there before the show starts? Or do you want to wait until the party officially starts? ” Her beautiful secretary, Dai Mi, asks gently while combing and styling Cheng Yannan's hair.
Let me see the audience list. Cheng Yannan did not answer Dai Mi's question, but instead asked her to do something.
Dai Mi paused for a moment, then walked into the waiting room. Then, he brought the Extraordinary Tang Company iPad into the room with him. After some quick friction, the list that was updated three minutes ago was now in front of Cheng Yannan.
As expected, the first name on the list was Xia Mingjie. Then, School Head Wei Zhentai, as well as the other school teachers in Star City. At the very end of the list, the names included Xia Mingjie's previous students from the past few decades. There are nearly three hundred people on the list. Cheng Yannan only knew her 10th grade classmates, the principal, and a few teachers.
After seeing the list named Wei Zhentai, Hu Qiusheng, and Yang Jian as some of the participants, Cheng Yannan instantly frowned.
Tang Xiu had once been nearly driven out of Star City by these people. If not for Han Qingwu, the teacher in charge of the 10th grade defended her and the results suddenly increased, Cheng Yannan did not think that she would get to know Tang Xiu back then and establish an unforgettable relationship with him.
Cheng Yannan wanted to call Su Xiangfei to remove Wei Zhentai, Hu Qiusheng, and Yang Jian from the audience list. However, after thinking about it, he dismissed that assumption.
It had been decades since then, so he felt that there was no need to bring up the little things that had happened in the past.
“Xiu, it's been decades. Did you do well in the Eternal World? ” Cheng Yannan refreshed the list of participants twice and was still unable to find the name she wanted to find, and a poignant smile appeared on her face.
“Xiu, if you give me another chance, I will definitely choose to follow you to the Eternal World and fight with you.
“Xiu, not because I don't want to ride with you, but because there are too many transcendental beauties by your side, so I never found a sense of belonging beside you.”.
Two rows of tears flowed from his eyes without a sound, and the faint sadness hidden within them was enough to arouse pity.
