Chapter 1308 A Wish Fulfilled
A pair of jade hands slowly pushed open the tent flap.
Their eyes met. Chen Yang immediately tightened the kasaya on his body, tucking his recovering arm inside.
Wu Shaohun and the Three Emperor Buddhas immediately got up and left the tent upon seeing this.
However, as soon as they stepped outside, they heard a sob.
Liu Ran tightly gripped Chen Yang's kasaya, trying to lift it to see his injuries.
But with her strength, she was no match for Chen Yang's arm strength.
Chen Yang's other hand embraced Liu Ran, and he whispered, "It's alright, it's alright."
Liu Ran's tears instantly soaked the kasaya. She was certain she had seen clearly just now.
That other arm, it didn't even have flesh and blood!
Liu Ran had never experienced such pain, nor could she imagine the agony Chen Yang was enduring at that moment.
"Let's go home, shall we?" Liu Ran's voice was tinged with fear. She was afraid of losing Chen Yang.
"We're already home, why... why must you suffer such grievous wounds?"
Chen Yang remained silent in response to Liu Ran's question.
He had no excuses.
Outside the tent, Wu Shaohun looked at the ruins scattered on the ground and said softly, "Ever since I can remember, this human realm has been a place coveted by all realms."
"The Underworld is the first enemy now, and more enemies will come to the human realm next."
"Old demons at the Nascent Soul realm, or even existences like divine demons from beyond the domain."
"Chen Yang, at the fifth layer of Core Formation, even if the human race has Great Perfection existences of Core Formation in the Underworld, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
"Why not find a peaceful place to meditate and cultivate? What do you think?"
The Three Emperor Buddhas beside him glanced back at the tent before chuckling softly, "And if the peaceful place we find is also coveted by others?"
"Run again?"
"We would be cast aside by the era. True warriors hide to cultivate, but that doesn't mean we will watch this world be destroyed."
"What about the Underworld? What about so-called demon gods?"
"This is a war of life and death. Escaping is useless."
"Weak as ants, but ants can grow one day. I cannot, but Chen Yang can. Even if Chen Yang cannot, someone will eventually rise among the human race to drive them away."
Wu Shaohun looked at the Three Emperor Buddhas in shock.
These words were exactly the same as what Chen Yang had said before.
Is this the human race?
Just then, an energy fluctuation came from the passage.
Wu Shaohun and the Three Emperor Buddhas immediately moved to surround it.
Meanwhile, inside the tent, Chen Yang immediately said to Liu Ran, "Leave here quickly!"
Chen Yang, enduring his upper body injuries, walked out and was astonished to find a familiar face.
"Huh? Why did you come over?"
Chen Yang never expected that the person coming through the passage would be Luo Xiaohao.
Luo Xiaohao looked at the two people surrounding him and said nervously, "We're short on Core Formation realm experts. Dongcang received news of a passage and sent me to check it out."
"The passage had no guards on the other side, so I thought I'd come and see where it leads."
As he spoke, Luo Xiaohao looked at the two unfamiliar people beside him.
He didn't recognize either Wu Shaohun or the Three Emperor Buddhas.
After Chen Yang introduced them to each other, Luo Xiaohao's gaze fell upon the Three Emperor Buddhas, and he said with some shock, "What did you say? Three Emperor Buddhas?"
Luo Xiaohao was one of the pillars of the human race in the Underworld and knew a lot about the Land of Hope.
He had not only met the Three Emperor Buddhas, who had established the Buddhist Kingdom, but had also worked with him.
This old monk before him was not the same Three Emperor Buddhas he knew!
Chen Yang waved his hand, "This is a bit difficult to explain, but this senior is not the Three Emperor Buddhas you know. Isn't Beixuan from the Zen Buddhist Monastery Sect? This is the current abbot of the Zen Buddhist Monastery Sect."
Luo Xiaohao nodded, half-understanding.
Upon learning from Chen Yang that a supreme expert of Core Formation had come through the passage after it was opened, Luo Xiaohao felt his heart pounding.
Fortunately, this crisis had been resolved.
"Then I'll head back now and have Dongcang send people to seal the passage."
"Do you want to come back with me to heal?"
"This passage is not too far from the Land of Hope."
Luo Xiaohao immediately observed Chen Yang's injuries. The spiritual energy in the human realm was scarce. If he went to the Underworld, with the help of others, his injuries would recover faster.
However, Chen Yang shook his head, "No need. The time it takes to go back and forth is enough for me to recover."
"Just have them seal the passage."
Luo Xiaohao nodded slowly and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction.
Chen Yang immediately understood Luo Xiaohao's thoughts and quickly said, "How about we go see Sister-in-law and the child first?"
Luo Xiaohao chuckled, coughed to steady his emotions, and then said, "Old Zhou told me before that the child's grades are good, and they've already gotten into a key school."
"Old Zhou has people watching them twenty-four hours a day, so I'm not worried about them."
"Be careful yourself. The Sword Sect's passage will stabilize soon, and we'll be able to help immediately if there's any news from the human realm."
"I'm leaving!"
As Luo Xiaohao turned to leave, everyone saw the tears fall from the corner of his eyes.
After returning to the Underworld, Luo Xiaohao surveyed his surroundings. Finding no one, he slowly walked to a giant tree and took out a photograph from his inner pocket.
This was a group photo Luo Xiaohao had carried with him when he set out.
Luo Xiaohao wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes, took a deep breath, and murmured, "Soon, I'll be back soon."
On the other side of the passage, Wu Shaohun looked at Chen Yang curiously and asked, "Was that person a Core Formation realm expert? And also human? Human from the human realm?"
Chen Yang nodded silently.
Unlike other cultivators, Luo Xiaohao had many choices before he embarked on this path, and it was he who had led himself onto this path.
Wu Shaohun asked again, "Are his family members also cultivators?"
Chen Yang remained silent. After a long while, he said in a deep voice, "No, they don't even know what happened to Luo Xiaohao."
With that, Chen Yang turned and walked back towards the tent.
Liu Ran hurried over to help him.
When Wu Shaohun and the Three Emperor Buddhas were left alone at the entrance of the passage, Wu Shaohun mused, "Now I think I understand what it's all for."
Several hours later, Wu Min slowly emerged from the passage. Upon seeing Wu Shaohun, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
In just a few days, he had completed the entire Foundation Establishment process and reached Great Perfection!
