Chapter 342 - Once A Teacher, Always A Father
Even then, Yao Qing, who was in the distant sky, did not look at him, the late-stage Void Refinement powerhouse who had yet to make a move. Instead, she cast her gaze on the entire battlefield.
At this time, there was a brutal battle going on the battlefield, where the cultivators were roaring and fighting hard. The battle actually seemed as tragic as a war between mortal kingdoms.
Due to the vast number of cultivators from the human race and demon race, a war of such a scale would break out only if the cultivators of both races went all out to fight. If the cultivators were to die on the battlefield today, the human and demon races probably will not be able to restore their vitality within a thousand years.
From time to time, there would be cultivators dying, some of which were from the Haoran Sword Clan.
However, the Clan Master of the Haoran Sword Clan didn"t react much. At this moment, he was well aware that there was a heavy burden on his shoulders.
...
He sat on the ground for two hours.
Two rays of colorful light suddenly lit up in the sky, after which, a loud and clear sound spread over from miles away.
"Senior Brothers, the human race will be in your hands in the future, but I hope that one day, we can meet in the upper realm."
Hearing this voice, the group of peak Void Refinement cultivators that were still fighting on the battlefield subconsciously looked towards the East.
Two auspicious rays were rising there. The Clan Master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan and the Heavenly Fox Demon Venerable had obviously successfully transcended the Tribulation and flew to the upper realm.
Seeing this scene, an unparalleled look of envy flashed in the eyes of all the people. Seeing this scene, a fleeting but unparalleled look of envy appeared in the eyes of all the people.
Unfortunately...
They didn"t have such abilities so if they wanted to successfully ascend, they would have to try their luck.
"Oh, there is no point for us to fight any longer, let"s leave the battlefield to these juniors below."
The Demon Venerable of the Seven Lethal Demon Clan looked East and said softly.
As soon as he said that, Tribulation clouds began to converge at the top of his head, and in no time, it spread out across a larger radius, soon covering all six Void Refinement realm experts.
The cultivators of the two races who were fighting below consciously began to move away when they saw that scene.
The six peak Void Refinement realm powerhouses looked at the Tribulation Clouds above their heads with various expressions. Some were terrified and some were indifferent. The Demon Venerable of the Seven Lethal Demon Clan was full of battle intent.
Boom!
As the thunder struck, the Demon Venerable of the Seven Lethal Demon Clan waved his hand and went forth to catch it.
The other five peak Void Refinement realm cultivators also stopped fighting, each to meet their own Thunder Tribulation.
...
At the edge of the battlefield, Yao Qing looked at the rolling thunderstorm in the sky with a complicated expression. After a long time, she finally muttered, "Ashes to ashes... dust to dust."
As she said that, a few emerald green sprouts darted out from earth beneath the battlefield.
"Hah! I"m indignant!"
An angry roar came from the edge of the sky, and the emperor of the Great Jing Dynasty turned into flying ashes before falling into the Ascension Tribulation.
The other clans and imperial dynasties were at most, cheated out of a treasure by Bai Dongsheng, but the Great Jing Dynasty had given all the tribulation treasures to him and had gotten terribly cheated.
Hence, although he was not the weakest of the six, he was the first person who couldn"t withstand the Thunder Tribulation.
Once he died, the hearts of the remaining five peak Void Refinement realm cultivators were shaken, and most of them somehow felt a little grief-stricken.
...
Kongming Island.
Chen Chen made plans for a few islands before he could make further arrangements, he heard plenty of sobbing.
At first, it was just a few people, but soon, it became a large group of people.
Listening to these voices, Chen Chen took out his communication token from the storage ring, asked about it from the other people on the island, and finally learned that just two hours ago, the two races suddenly launched a final battle, and within those two short hours, thousands of elite experts of the two races had fallen.
Among them, many were the young descendants of the island"s master"s relatives.
Chen Chen sighed and took a few steps out of the Crystal Palace to walk to Xia Xishuang.
At this moment, Xia Xishuang was sitting on a step and staring at a communication token with a confused gaze.
Like Chen Chen, she hadn"t received any message from any clans. If not for the fact that she had heard the sounds of crying, she wouldn"t have known that the battle had already begun.
"Chen Chen, I heard from them that...the battle at the front line is very intense, and the powerhouses of the two races have all reached the peak of the Void Refinement realm. There"s no turning back now."
Xia Xishuang sobbed and said when she saw Chen Chen.
At this moment, most of the powerhouses of the clans were fighting on the battlefield. Only Xia Xishuang, the eldest senior sister of her clan, was still seated here peacefully. Her mood was imaginably sad.
Besides, there were all sorts of sobbing coming from the island.
Chen Chen slowly sat beside her, whispered a few words of comfort, then took out a transmission token and pretended not to care and transmitted, "Master, how are you doing? Are you dead yet?"
Yu Qiong soon replied.
"I"m doing very well, your grandmaster has successfully ascended!"
Seeing this message, Chen Chen immediately felt comforted.
"Master, why don"t I..."
"None of your business! By the way... go to the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan when you"re free and take the storage ring below my pillow in my bedroom. Split it among your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. Remember, don"t pocket them!"
Hearing this, Chen Chen clutched the communication token in his hand tightly.
He didn"t expect that he would end up inheriting Yu Qiong"s legacy.
Recalling the time when he first joined the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan and fought with Yu Qiong in combat, Chen Chen lowered his head.
Although this master of his was shameless and stingy, she had nevertheless rushed from the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan and traveled thousands of kilometers to get to the State of Jin to save him when he was trapped in a mountain by several Demon Emperors.
"Chen Chen, I seem to have another Beauty Elixir placed on the top of the bookshelf..."
Soon, Chen Chen received another message.
However, there was only half of it, and Chen Chen"s heart tensed up when he saw it, as he felt a stabbing pain coming from within his heart.
In this instant, he suddenly understood many things, and even more so, his own heart.
Xia Xishuang, who was beside Chen Chen, raised her head to look at him while hesitating to speak.
Chen Chen"s face became mellower, and he gently helped Xia Xishuang up.
"Xishuang, I"ve figured it out, if I don"t go today, I"m definitely going to regret it later. Even if I can"t help, and even if everything has been set in stone by the time I arrive, I still have to go and take a look."
Xia Xishuang stroked her belly gently with her right hand, appearing worried and sorrowful.
Seeing this, Chen Chen smiled and said tenderly, "I"ll be fine. If I don"t go today, what will happen if our kids ask about this in the future? I don"t want him to think his father is a coward."
"Xishuang, even if other human cultivators are prejudiced against me, Master is Master. Once a master, always a parent. When I go over this time, I"ll bring both your master and mine back, regardless of whether they"re dead or alive."
Hearing Chen Chen"s unapologetic words, Xia Xishuang"s body shook violently, and she began tearing up uncontrollably.
However, in an instant, her expression became resolute, and she said seriously, "Chen Chen, you can rest a.s.sured that I will take care of myself and our child, no matter what."
Chen Chen had a heartened smile on his face after he heard that.
He and Xia Xishuang could understand each other"s feelings with some mere eye contact.
Hence, Xia Xishuang knew the words he wanted to hear the most at this moment.
"I"ll go then."
After murmuring in Xia Xhishuang"s ear, Chen Chen"s figure gradually became illusory, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the edge of Kongming Island.
"Senior Brother! Wait for me!"
Just as he was about to take out his Void Transcendence Boat, Yuan Qingtian"s voice came from behind him.
Chen Chen turned around, only to see that Yuan Qingtian was flying towards him with twelve Dark Guards and Zhou Renlong.
"Senior Brother! I knew you wouldn"t be able to resist going, take us with you." Yuan Qingtian flew in front of Chen Chen and said with a look of excitement.
On the other hand, Zhou Renlong said effortlessly from the side, "The other cultivators from Mount Wufeng have been sealed by me, and they are too weak to be of much help."
Chen Chen did not say anything and merely looked at his Eight Senior Sister, Zhou Shu, who had tagged along and came over from a short distance away.
Seeing that Chen Chen"s eyes were full of hesitation, the pregnant Zhou Shu said with tears in her eyes, "Junior Brother Chen Chen, take them with you. Remember...to bring Master back."
Hearing these words, Chen Chen was relieved, and he placed Yuan Qingtian and the others into his Small World before flying away from Kongming Island.
