Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 2

Hasty footsteps came from outside the cave. Yan Chutian turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in tattered clothes who looked even more pitiful and dirty than him running in.

Yan Chutian knew his identity. He was the butler of the original owner of this body, Zhang Chen. With the decline of the family, the originally bustling family became very quiet and cheerless in an instant. After that, there was news that his residence had been sold and mortgaged. Everyone tried their best to take as much gold and silver as possible and escape. Only Zhang Chen had not left them from beginning to end.

Thus, even though Yan Chutian was not the original owner of this body, he still respected Zhang Chen.

"Young Master, you're awake. This ... quickly eat them!"

Seeing Yan Chutian's gaze, Zhang Chen slowly walked a few steps closer and took out a paper bag wrapped in lotus leaves from under his tattered and dirty clothes. Opening the paper bag, the smell of meat came out. Half the roasted chicken lay quietly on the lotus leaf.

The smell of roasted chicken was so alluring that even Yan Chutian would inevitably swallow his saliva. Seeing Yan Chutian's reaction, Zhang Chen did not hesitate. He lowered his stooped back and handed the roasted chicken to Yan Chutian.

Yan Chutian subconsciously reached out his hand to grab the roasted chicken that was right in front of him. However, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Zhang Chen. Looking at Zhang Chen's pitiful figure that resembled a beggar, how could Yan Chutian not know that he must have worked hard under the supervision of others in exchange for half a roast chicken?

"Uncle Chen, you must eat ..."

As if he was already expecting Yan Chutian's reply, Zhang Chen smiled amiably and shook his head. "no need. Uncle Chen had eaten. Here's the rest of half the roasted chicken for you."

However, as soon as Zhang Chen's voice fell, his stomach crept, and the lie was revealed. This scene made Yan Chutian's heart even more moved. Traces moved unceasingly appearing in his heart. This kind of feeling .. could only be felt by Li Tianyun who treated him like a master and a father.

As a result, Yan Chutian's voice was choked by sobs. He rubbed his dirty palms on his white, clean collar before dividing the roasted chicken into two halves. Grabbing his half, he returned the other half to Zhang Chen.

"Uncle Chen, let's share!"

"This …"

Seeing Yan Chutian's actions, even though Zhang Chen wanted to resist, the stubbornness in Yan Chutian's eyes made him give up. He could only take out the roasted chicken and a helpless smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

"okay."

Seeing Zhang Chen take the roasted chicken, Yan Chutian smiled and bit the fragrant chicken. He said with satisfaction, "Uncle Chen, don't call me Young Master in the future. Call me little Chu from now on."

Perhaps for some unknown reason, the original owner of this body was named Yan Chu. It was only a single character away from his name, Yan Chutian.

"Yes, Little Chu!"

Zhang Chen smiled and agreed. This made Yan Chutian even more satisfied. Then, he and Zhang Chen finished the roasted chicken in their hands. Half a roasted chicken never made Yan Chutian so tasty and satisfied. He understood that this was related to his current situation. He might never be able to eat such a delicious roasted chicken again.

As for whether he was the real Yan Chu, it did not matter anymore. From now on, he was still Yan Chutian and Yan Chu.

… …

After all, Yan Chutian couldn't possibly let Zhang Chen wander for his sake. He had to do something to make this old man who had not even reached the age of fifty and was already this very old man able to live more comfortably.

Moreover, even if this was a mortal world that even the Heaven Realm was not aware of, he would have to try and see if he could get out of here and return to his Heaven Realm. Otherwise, there would be a day when a Divine Realm conspiracy would appear. At that time, it would be a disaster for the entire Heaven Realm.

Yan Chutian could not only see all of this happening. The Heaven Realm has its own beauty. It had the Horizon God Palace that he was grateful for. It had a Master whom he respected and people in the Heaven Realm. If a disaster were to occur, all of this might disappear in an instant. He had to think of a way to stop it!

"okay!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chen was shocked. In his impression, although Yan Chu was reasonable, the experience of destroying his family was too shocking for him. Because of this, he hated the world. But now, he was relieved that Yan Chu seemed to have already thought about it.

… …

The night passed without a sound until dawn.

As the sun was already high in the sky, Yan Chutian slowly woke up. At this moment, he realized that Zhang Chen had disappeared. It makes him feel awkward. Looks like he's too tired. Uncle Chen probably saw that he was sleeping soundly and could not bear to wake him up?

Yan Chutian did not dare to move. He could only wait in the cave for Zhang Chen's return.

The wait lasted for more than two hours. As it was almost noon, the sound of hurried and messy footsteps rang out from outside the cave. He turned his head and indeed, it was Zhang Chen's figure. However, he looked very confused. There was a trace of fear on his withered face.

"Little Chu. There's monsters…!"

"The monster?!"

Yan Chutian was shocked. Any monsters? Could it be a spirit beast? If it was truly a spirit beast, it was truly a monster unimaginable to humans. After all, the cultivators who had just started cultivating here were all giants, not to mention spirit beasts that were even more ferocious and powerful than ordinary human cultivators.

However, Zhang Chen did not have time to explain more to Yan Chutian. After saying that it was a monster, he panicked and hurriedly pulled Yan Chutian's small hand and dashed out of the cave. Although Yan Chutian was sixteen years old, his body was extremely petite. When he stood up, he was not even half as tall as Zhang Chen. Moreover, his appearance was completely different from his previous life. He was very young, like a thirteen or fourteen year old child.

With his current appearance, no one in the Heaven Realm could associate him with Yan Chutian.

After running out of the cave, Yan Chutian saw many figures running around in the wilderness. It seemed that the so-called monster movement was not small. It actually made a lot of people worry.

Zhang Chen tried his best to bring Yan Chutian towards the crowd. With regards to this, Yan Chutian naturally would not mind. Right now, he was just a weak human being. Not to mention meeting a spirit beast, even if he were to encounter a savage beast, his life would be in danger.

As they were fleeing, the two were suddenly hit by a speeding train and sent flying. Both of them fell miserably in the wilderness. Yan Chutian is fine. Only his knees were slightly bruised. However, when he looked up, Zhang Chen's head actually hit a boulder. Dark red blood flowed down and dyed half of the mountain stone to red. He immediately fainted.
