Chapter 81: Why Don’t You Just Ascend to Heaven?

The Five Elements Sect Master, Xiao Chuqiu, was dead.
The perfectly intact head rolled down and landed in front of the Thousand Autumn Valley’s mountain gate. Its two eyes were wide open, as if it could not believe that even though it had come with such sincerity, it was still cleanly chopped off by Feng Xia!
“Sigh…”
Lei Shao suddenly sighed, his eyes revealing traces of desolation.
Instantly, Liu Chuanyuan glared angrily at him from the side and shouted in a stern voice, “Barbarian Lei, are you getting softhearted at a time like this?!”
“Softhearted? Of course not.”
Lei Shao slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were filled with determination. “Let’s go and pay our respects to Master.”
Watching this scene, Feng Xia became deep in thought and subconsciously nodded.
In any case, this calamity in the Thousand Autumn Valley was over. Time would pass quickly and the days had to move forward.
That night.
The eldest disciple, Bai Canghai, returned with his team. Unfortunately, when they passed by a deep stream, junior sister Ling Jieyu accidentally fell to the bottom of the stream and was swept away by the rolling waters. Until now, no one knew if she was dead or alive.
“I’ll take responsibility for it.”
After returning to the sect, Bai Canghai mumbled something incomprehensible to everyone before going into seclusion. In just three days, he activated three Mystical Wheels in a row, shocking the entire sect and becoming the youngest disciple to be in the Inception Realm among all the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley!
Not long after that, Bai Canghai came to visit Feng Xia.
“Senior Feng… No, Sect Master, there’s something I don’t understand. I hope Sect Master can provide me with the answer.”
“Go ahead,” Feng Xia readily agreed.
“If there’s always been an ambitious goal in your heart and you’ve always been working hard for this goal, but in the end, you discovered that the unattainable goal was easily done overnight…”
At this point, Bai Canghai seemed a little dispirited.
Compared with the spirited young man when they first met, the current Bai Canghai seemed to have aged by more than 10 years. His face was covered in stubble and even his words were lacking in energy.
Shucks.
I suspect you are insinuating about me, and there is ample evidence!
Feng Xia, who was drinking tea, almost spat out a mouthful. However, he soon realized that Bai Canghai had been thinking about this matter ever since he returned to the sect?!
Yo, you’re awake.
The terrifying Primal Core Realm enemy had been annihilated, and the enemies who had been eyeing them covetously had all retreated. The sect that was in imminent danger had been saved, and the new number one expert in Xuanwu Kingdom had become their Sect Master.
Is there anything else you want to ask?
—He guessed that these were what Bai Canghai was feeling at the moment.
For a person who had been determined to revive his sect since he was young and had always been fighting for it, there was indeed nothing more depressing and dispirited than waking up and discovering that almost all his goals had been completed without his contributions.
“This guy is definitely suffering from a lack of chicken soup for the soul!”
Feng Xia rubbed his chin and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.?“In this world where divine beings belong to the mainstream, such a situation should be called… having an unstable Dao heart?”
He suddenly recalled something. It seemed as if the old Sect Master Ji Qixi had mentioned it before…
First Elder Lei Shao looked brave, but in reality, his Dao heart was lacking. In comparison, Sixth Elder Liu Chuanyuan’s Dao heart was much more perfect and rounded.
The problem was, if the chicken soup could stabilize Dao hearts…
Feng Xia was sure he could start a wholesale business!
As a transmigrator from the era of information explosion, he could casually come up with dozens or hundreds of types of thick chicken soup, light chicken soup, chicken soup for the soul, or even poisonous chicken soup.
At the very least, he could still say, “Thanks for your invitation. I’m at Mount Canglan and have just broken through to the Primal Core Realm. I have many acquaintances in the circle, so I’m going to go into hiding…”
“This idea might really work!”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a chance. Perhaps in the future, he could create a new sideline like what alchemists, array masters, and many others did…
“You think you’ve already achieved your goal?”
Thinking of this, Feng Xia smiled and looked at Bai Canghai, “Or do you think that the Thousand Autumn Valley is invincible now?”
Bai Canghai was stunned for a moment and he nodded subconsciously, “With you here, no one will dare to invade us anymore!”
He was truly sincere when he said this.
At the same time, Bai Canghai sighed in his heart. If he had not gone to the Ancient Forsaken Land and met Feng Xia, what would have happened to the Thousand Autumn Valley?
He would never know the answer.
“Then what if I leave?” Feng Xia suddenly said with a faint smile.
“But didn’t you just take over as the Sect Master…” Bai Canghai was stunned.
“What if one day, I suddenly go crazy and want to find the true meaning of life, and then my whereabouts are unknown?”
“This …”
Bai Canghai tried to imagine the scenario.
Without Feng Xia, the strongest people in the Thousand Autumn Valley would undoubtedly be the First Elder and the Sixth Elder!
However, the First Elder and the Sixth Elder, even with the other four elders, were already finding it extremely difficult to fight against the various forces in the outside world. If the imperial court made a comeback…
Bai Canghai shuddered.
“So, you should understand one thing.”
Feng Xia pointed at Bai Canghai’s feet with a serious expression. At this moment, he was not doing this alone. Countless WeChat accounts and countless verified personalities possessed his soul.
“The current Thousand Autumn Valley has only just managed to stand up. It’s still a long way from its peak 700 years ago, not to mention…”
At this point, Feng Xia pointed at the sky. “Do you think that Xuanwu Kingdom is the only country in the world? As the saying goes, there’s always someone or something better. Have you seen the outside world? Do you know what kind of experts are outside?”
Actually, I also don’t know.jpg
However, this did not stop Feng Xia from bragging. After all, that was what was written in those novels.
“In the sky… apart from Xuanwu Kingdom… the outside world…”
Bai Canghai was stunned for a moment, then his lifeless eyes started to shine with a faint light. Suddenly, his chest heaved up and down as he took a deep breath.
“Sect Master, I understand now.”
“Tell me, what do you understand?”
Feng Xia turned around with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.
At this moment, Bai Canghai was no longer as dispirited as he was before. He had more or less regained the charm he had when they first met!
“Listening to your teachings is better than studying for 10 years.”
Bai Canghai answered sincerely, “I suddenly realized that this world is much bigger than I have ever seen. This battle is not the end, it is just a new beginning.”
“Very good. What else do you want to say?” Feng Xia nodded in satisfaction.
“Therefore, if I want to become stronger than before, I definitely can’t stay on this piece of land. I have to leave this place and search for opportunities that belong to me in the outside world!”
Feng Xia’s expression darkened.
What the heck did you read and understand this time?!
Do you mean you want to ascend to heaven!
