The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 832 Harvest

However, just a few days prior, when Chen Xiao had just entered the Xian Yin Realm, he felt he didn't stand much of a chance against the three Sect Leaders.

With this, the trip to the Xian Yin Realm came to a perfect end.

Chen Xiao's gains far exceeded expectations. Not to mention the Zhan Shen Sword (God-Slaying Sword) and the Zhan Shen Sword Formation (God-Slaying Sword Formation), his Jiu Zhuan Cang Lan (Nine Revolutions Azure Wave) Technique had also reached the stage of Great Perfection.

At this point, he was unequivocally invincible on Earth.

Moreover, he far surpassed other top experts.

He now had full confidence in facing the Heavenly Dao.

Furthermore, he had collected all five Sacred Relics, and could now open the tomb of the Wan Gu Xian Di (Eternal Immortal Emperor).

But the location of the Wan Gu Xian Di's tomb required further clues.

Besides these, he had another special gain: a Dao companion...

So when they heard that Chen Xiao was about to leave the Xian Yin Realm, Duan Yanzhuo and Yun Lan took the initiative to bid farewell, leaving the couple some time alone.

"Are you leaving now? Can't you stay a few more days... even just two, one would do."

Ziwei Dao Shou (Purple Star Sect Leader) pleaded, her voice full of reluctance.

"Time waits for no one, and that's true for you too, isn't it?"

Chen Xiao said with a smile.

"Then stay with me a little longer, tell me your story."

Ziwei Dao Shou snuggled into Chen Xiao's arms, greedily inhaling his scent.

"My story? Where should I begin?"

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment. "If I had to tell it, I think I should start from when my mother needed money for medical treatment."

"In reality, the world is very cruel to ordinary people. Their suffering lies in birth, aging, illness, and death, until death is the only release."

"But for their loved ones, even though they know there is a way to save them, they lose the opportunity for treatment because they don't have the money. Can you imagine that kind of pain?"

Ziwei Dao Shou couldn't imagine it, because she had been a disciple of the Immortal Sect since birth. The birth, aging, illness, and death of ordinary people were just something she observed from afar.

She had endless years.

However, when she learned that this had happened to Chen Xiao, she suddenly seemed to understand, to realize, to feel the suffering of the mortal world.

"So it was that kind of experience that shaped you into who you are now. Even if you risk your own life, you still want to establish a life for ordinary people. You are a truly chosen one. When fate chose you, you also chose your own destiny."

Ziwei Dao Shou said with emotion.

"Hehe, it might not be as noble as you say."

Chen Xiao gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Sometimes I wonder if all of this is just a dream I'm having. Maybe when I was beaten by Long Yaoyang and the others, I already became a vegetable and I'm now lying in bed, sustained by nutrient solutions."

"And my mother, because I couldn't raise the money for her surgery, has already passed away and left this world."

"I'm afraid this is a dream, but if this really is just a dream, the reason I keep working so hard is to make this dream continue. I'm also afraid of waking up and facing my wasted life."

For the first time, Chen Xiao told someone about his inner fears.

"This isn't a dream, all of this is real. You are real, and I am real too. If you don't believe me, touch it and see..."

As she spoke, Ziwei Dao Shou grabbed Chen Xiao's hand and guided it into her clothes.

Soft, warm...

This was indeed not a dream, and even if it was a dream, it was a seamless one.

So, Chen Xiao ended up staying for another half day.

After an earth-shattering battle with the sky as the canopy and the ground as the blanket, Chen Xiao finally reluctantly left the Xian Yin Realm.

Back in the secular world, Chen Xiao's phone regained its signal, and a call came in immediately.

It was from the Chief, and judging from the caller ID, he had already called dozens of times.

"What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Chen Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then finally answered the phone.

"Hello, what is it?"

Chen Xiao asked indifferently.

"Chen Xiao, that's great, you finally answered!"

On the other end of the phone, an excited voice, not befitting the Chief's status, came through.

"What exactly is it? Get to the point."

Chen Xiao frowned, not showing the slightest bit of courtesy despite the other party's identity.

Because he originally planned to go home as soon as he returned to the secular world and marry Li Ziqing, which he had promised Li Ziqing before.

But this call obviously disrupted his rhythm and plans.

"Chen Xiao, I do have something very important to talk to you about, but it's not convenient to say it over the phone. Can you come and see me now? Let's talk in person!"

The Chief said almost pleadingly.

"Alright, where are you? I'll head over now."

Chen Xiao asked.

Afterwards, the Chief gave Chen Xiao an address.

After a flash of light, Chen Xiao had already appeared in front of the Chief.

Clatter!

Seeing the suddenly appearing Chen Xiao, the Chief dropped the teacup in his hand directly to the ground, and then he came back to his senses, saying with an embarrassed expression, "I'm still not quite used to your way of appearing!"

He rejoiced in his heart that this was someone on their side. If this were an enemy, he would be in deep trouble.

"What's the matter? Just say it. After I've dealt with it, I need to go home. I'm in a hurry to get married."

Chen Xiao said very frankly.

"Married?"

The Chief was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Sorry for taking up Mr. Chen's time. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Brand from the United States."

Chen Xiao glanced at the black-skinned American. He had naturally noticed this person long ago.

Moreover, he didn't need the Chief to introduce this person's identity.

The President of the United States, how many people in the world don't recognize him?

"Honorable Mr. Chen, nice to meet you!"

Brand politely extended his hand to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao shook it casually. He didn't expect this old black man to actually speak Mandarin, and even with a bit of a regional accent.

"Your Excellency Brand, time is precious, just get to the point."

No matter what country's president or what tribe's queen, Chen Xiao treated them all the same, without being accommodating.

"It's like this, Mr. Chen, our United States is suffering an unprecedented disaster. Dozens of small towns have been massacred, with a death toll of up to one million."

Brand said.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, "Why are you telling me this? Isn't your United States famous for international tea-serving? Can't you handle such a small matter yourselves?"

"Uh, haha, I'm ashamed to say, we really can't solve it."

Brand said with an embarrassed expression, "That person is elusive, has extraordinary methods, and he calls himself Tian Ren (Heavenly Being)!"
