316: Chapter 316 The Chu Family

A God Realm expert of the Dragon Kingdom!

Qin Chuan became somewhat interested. Previously, he had killed three old monsters in the Half-step God Realm here in the Dragon Kingdom, but a half-god was ultimately just a half-god; there was a world of difference between them and a true God Realm expert.

Moreover, with the Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts flourishing, its God Realm experts were likely a cut above those from other overseas nations.

"Oh?"

"Why does he want to see me?"

Qin Chuan asked with interest.

"I'm not clear on that." Lu Zhengrong shook his head, his expression sincere. "When Marshal Chu Junlin asked me to come, he only instructed me to ask if you truly possess immortality. If you answer yes, I am to take you to see him. If you answer no, then this visit is to be treated as my own personal initiative."

Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could this Marshal Chu Junlin have caught a glimpse of immortality?

However, looking at the current state of Earth's martial arts, even if one were to Cultivate to the God Realm, the lifespan extension is limited, and it is still a far cry from true immortality.

Unlike cultivation, Qin Chuan had now entered the Core Formation Realm and could live up to five hundred years; a corresponding God Realm expert could absolutely not live to that age.

Just like Zeus, whom he had met before—his remaining lifespan was already dwindling, and in reality, Zeus wasn't even three hundred years old.

Then there was Susanoo, who had used complete meditative death to extend his lifespan, showing that the lifespan extension in the God Realm is not much, and one even needs to rely on other means to prolong it.

Many Half-step God Realm experts were the same in this regard; they simply found a suitable place to seclude themselves and essentially ceased all movement, which could extend their lives by another ten or twenty years.

And they call this peering into immortality?

However, the pursuit of immortality had existed in the Dragon Kingdom for thousands of years; didn't the emperors of old also pursue it?

Come to think of it, did those emperors also enter the Half-step God Realm... or perhaps the God Realm itself?

"Very well, but we shall depart in two days."

Qin Chuan agreed.

He was curious to see what kind of strength this top Marshal of the Dragon Kingdom possessed.

After leaving Tianshu Holy Land, Qin Chuan returned to the Feng Family.

During the one day he spent at Tianshu Holy Land, Xu Bancheng had already helped the Feng Family incorporate all the assets of the Wang Family, Qian Family, and Sun Family, including the Xu Family's own assets, into the Feng Family.

The Feng Family had become the biggest winner; they were now likely not just the richest in Hong Kong, but potentially the richest in the entire Dragon Kingdom!

"Xiaochuan, why don't you and Lanlan just stop returning to the mainland and settle down here in Hong Kong? I've heard about what happened with the Qin Family."

When Feng Shirong mentioned the Qin Family, his expression turned somber: "If the Qin Family doesn't treat you as Family, then you are my Feng Family's Family. From now on, you are my grandson!"

His desire to have Qin Chuan stay was not because of Qin Chuan's current status.

Back when Qin Chuan and Qin Lan first arrived to wish Feng Shirong a happy birthday, the Feng Family had no idea of his status, yet Feng Shirong had still wanted the siblings to stay.

Qin Chuan shook his head: "Grandfather, there are still matters to handle on the mainland, and besides, Lanlan still needs to attend university."

Because of him, Qin Lan hadn't attended school for over half a year.

Mentioning school, Qin Chuan felt a bit helpless. His cohort should have graduated by now, and he had ultimately failed to make it to his own university graduation.

Originally, after returning, Qin Chuan had truly enjoyed such peaceful days, but in the end, the total time he had spent at school seemed to not even exceed ten days.

"You're not staying in Hong Kong?" Feng Shirong couldn't help but ask.

Qin Chuan shook his head.

"Grandfather, Hong Kong is too small. The place I need to go is vast—very, very vast."

Feng Shirong interpreted Qin Chuan's words as meaning that Hong Kong was not suitable for cultivation and that Qin Chuan's future path was still long and could not be confined to Hong Kong. He did not press him to stay any further.

For the Feng Family and for Hong Kong, perhaps the locals had an innate sense of superiority, but for Qin Chuan, Hong Kong was merely an insignificant place.

However, Qin Chuan still set aside two days. During these two days, he stayed within the Feng Family residence without going out, occasionally playing chess with his grandfather, sitting in the courtyard to bask in the sun, and chatting.

Two days later.

Qin Chuan took Qin Lan onto Lu Zhengrong's fighter jet and returned to the Dragon Kingdom.

On the jet, Lu Zhengrong sat down beside Qin Chuan.

"Mr. Qin, let's head straight to the capital. Marshal Chu Junlin is still waiting."

Qin Chuan shook his head: "I need to make a trip to Jinling."

"Why?" Lu Zhengrong asked in surprise.

"To attend a gathering." Qin Chuan smiled. Today, he had charged his phone and discovered that his cohort had just graduated, and everyone was holding a gathering before parting ways.

Naturally, Qin Chuan did not want to miss it. The faces of his university classmates, such as Lin Xian, Cao Junli, Wu Xieyu, Chen Manman, and Monitor Li Wenhui, flashed through his mind.

Although the time they spent together was not long, they had left a deep impression within Qin Chuan's five-hundred-year span of time.

Lu Zhengrong's expression became slightly strange.

The Dragon Kingdom's top Marshal was waiting for you in the capital, yet you want to go attend a gathering?

He really wanted to ask what kind of gathering it could be that even the dignified Emperor Qin would want to attend.

"Mr. Qin, what kind of gathering is it?" Lu Chenshuang asked out of curiosity.

"Classmates." Qin Chuan uttered the two words.

After arriving in Jinling, Lu Zhengrong could only take his granddaughter back to the capital first.

Meanwhile, in the capital, Jingshan, at the Chu Mansion.

Today, all the core members of the Chu Family had returned home. As a powerful Family, every member held a very high status and position within the Dragon Kingdom.

Yet today, regardless of what tasks they had on hand, these people had set them aside and returned home one after another. This was the command of the Family Head.

"Honestly, I don't know who Father wants to see that he would make us all put down our work and come home immediately." The speaker was Chu Junlin's son, Chu Chongan.

His expression held a hint of confusion and some frustration, because he did not believe there was anyone else in the Dragon Kingdom who could make the Chu Family attach so much importance to them.

The Chu Family was not only powerful, but they also possessed a God Realm expert!

However, not many people knew about the status of the God Realm; even many in the Martial Arts World did not know if the God Realm truly existed in this world, because God Realm experts do not easily appear in public.

In the Chu Family hall, the core members of the Chu Family were already gathered.

"Old Huang, I still have a meeting to attend. Who on earth does Father want to see that he had to call us all back?" Chu Chongan looked anxious.

"I rushed back specifically from the border; that place requires me to oversee it, and I cannot be away for too long." The speaker, dressed in military uniform, was Chu Junlin's youngest son, Chu Chongzhan.

"My company..." The members of the Chu Family were all very busy people, and they were extremely puzzled about being suddenly called back.

Old Huang was Marshal Chu Junlin's adjutant and had followed him for decades; even though his surname was not Chu, his status and position within the Chu Family were extremely high.

"This is the Marshal's order. Everyone, please just wait." Old Huang said indifferently.

This wait lasted for several hours. During this time, phones rang incessantly; there was no help for it, as they were all very busy people. However, as time passed, one by one, they began to lose patience.

"Old Huang, hasn't the person arrived yet?" Chu Chongan frowned.

"Grandpa Huang, our time is very precious. I need to go to the company immediately; there's a multi-billion deal to sign." Chu Chongan's daughter, Chu Wanyan, said with some irritation.

"That's right, we've been waiting for several hours now; why hasn't the person arrived yet?"

"Are they actually coming or not?" The Chu Family members were all becoming impatient.

Perhaps this person's status was very noble, but the Chu Family was the Dragon Kingdom's top powerful Family and even possessed a God Realm expert. To the members of the Chu Family, looking across the entire Dragon Kingdom, unless it was the Leader, who else could make the Chu Family wait like this?

"Everyone, please wait a little longer." Old Huang also looked at the time, puzzled. "They should have arrived by now; why would they be late?"

Chu Chongzhan let out a cold snort, and his aura erupted.

"I want to see exactly what kind of person is so high and mighty that they dare to make us wait this long?"

"If they don't provide an explanation when they arrive, don't blame me for being impolite!"
