340: Collect Thousand Falls
At the entrance to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Chen Xuan looked calmly at Zhang Zicheng, who had been slapped breathless.
The Zhai family's strength was only average. They insisted on joining the effort to destroy Thousand Falling Holy Land back then, so Chen Xuan wasn't surprised by their current predicament.
He didn't even get a chance to participate in wiping out the Zhai family; too many people with a blood feud against them were eagerly waiting to take revenge with their own hands.
Now that Zhang Zicheng was dead, Chen Xuan only needed to absorb the Mountain and Sea Realm; he didn't need to worry about anything else.
Finally, under Xiao Hongmei's guidance, Thousand Falling Holy Land swept through like a broken bamboo, easily taking down the Zhai family. Even the Zhai family's last Undergoing Tribulation old man died in a righteous group beating.
"Chen Xuan, why are you still here? If you don't leave soon, the situation here will be discovered in a few days, and then..."
"The Mountain and Sea Realm was my home, so I plan to take it with me, but it will take some time."
"Heh, you boy certainly have some Opportunity. You can even absorb and take this Mountain and Sea Realm with you!" Nine Elder Jiu Xi said, stroking her beard.
Yun Xuan, however, frowned.
"This is truly troublesome! All of you, come help too!"
With that, she personally came to the entrance of the Mountain and Sea Realm and used her Body Integration Cultivation to help Chen Xuan transport and accelerate the absorption.
Seeing this, everyone else also came to help.
Ultimately, with everyone's assistance, Chen Xuan quickly and successfully absorbed the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"You'd better not have any more lingering matters. We really should leave."
"Of course not! Once this is finished, it'll be time to surprise Sect Master Senior Sister!"
"Stop that! I'm older, you should call me Junior Martial Uncle!"
"Junior Martial Uncle, huh... That's not impossible!"
"Tell me, what is this surprise you mentioned?"
"Well, please come into my Small World for a detailed discussion," Chen Xuan said, opening the Small World passage.
"What's with this secretive behavior? You'd better not tell me you've also taken down Little Nine!"
"Cough cough, how could that be? Nothing of the sort!"
Everyone exchanged glances, and finally, Yun Xuan was the first to step inside.
"Little Xuan Zi is one of us. Besides, our main base is in his Small World, so there's nothing we can't enter."
After she spoke, the elites of Thousand Falling Holy Land all poured in.
"This place is not suitable for long stays. Everyone, please wait for me to leave the Zhai family, and then we can discuss in detail!"
Watching Xiao Hongmei enter last, Chen Xuan then closed the passage and proceeded towards the Zhai family's direction.
After walking a long distance, he then entered the Secret Spirit Continent, where Thousand Falling Holy Land was located.
However, as soon as he entered, he found Qian Muli at this moment, embracing Yun Xuan with a gentle and pained expression, constantly comforting the latter who was sobbing, while she herself was also wiping away her tears.
It seemed that Yun Xuan had suffered who knows how much over the past thousand years, and finally seeing her Senior Sister, the emotions accumulated over many years surged forth all at once.
"Well, I hadn't even called you, and you've already come over yourself."
Upon seeing Chen Xuan approach, Qian Muli's face also flushed slightly.
No matter what, Thousand Falling Holy Land was her home, and Chen Xuan coming now was surely to see her family, but the Elders were all...
"Hmph, from the moment you brought me out, I knew it wouldn't be long before Senior Sister Yun Xuan and the others would arrive! So I had Senior Sister prepare in advance!" Nine Elder Jiu Xi said, hands on her hips.
"Yes, yes, yes, Nine Elder is amazing! Nine Elder is smart! Is that enough?" Chen Xuan replied perfunctorily and was then pulled away by the Third Elder.
"Boy, what's the situation with this Small World of yours? Why are there rare treasures everywhere? Did you do something unforgivable, something that angers both gods and men?" The Third Elder looked at this area, his eyes gleaming.
In the Cultivation World, people usually do not easily inquire about others' Opportunity, unless you truly cannot resist.
"Cough cough, Elder, you flatter me. It's merely a bit of luck, purely by chance! Moreover, as a Disciple of our Thousand Falling Holy Land, no matter how many of these resources there are, how could I possibly use them all by myself? If you all have no urgent matters, you are welcome to Cultivate here in peace!" Chen Xuan said lightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the Thousand Falling Holy Land elites present instantly widened their eyes, a fervent light shimmering within them.
One must know that ever since they were jointly besieged and hunted by various major forces, their lives had been incredibly difficult.
The resources needed for daily Cultivation were extremely scarce; they could only barely sustain themselves with their extraordinary talent or occasionally go out to seek some miraculous treasures, or perhaps exchange a small amount of Cultivation materials by making significant contributions.
Such a luxurious life was an unattainable dream for them.
Even just now, before Chen Xuan spoke, they understood that these treasures belonged to Chen Xuan, so no one dared to move them without permission, feeling only envy in their hearts.
However, at this moment, Chen Xuan generously stated that everyone could freely use these precious resources, which undoubtedly brought a huge surprise and temptation to the crowd.
Why do I suddenly not want to leave? There's no way, he's just giving too much!
"Boy, are your words true? Aren't you afraid we'll use up all your things?"
"Oh, come on, we're all family, why talk like strangers!"
The Third Elder gazed at Chen Xuan, his eyes deep and solemn, as if trying to see into his innermost thoughts.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice filled with endless emotion:
"That girl Hongmei truly found a good son-in-law! With this, our Thousand Falling Holy Land has hope of regaining its former glory and rising again!"
At this point, he was overcome with tears.
As an Elder among those present, he was also a witness to all the past events. Back then, to protect the last glimmer of hope for the Sect, he endured hardships and tasted bitterness, the sorrows of which only he knew.
If possible, he would rather have sacrificed his life alongside his Senior Brothers, fighting the enemy to the death and nobly dying for the Sect, rather than enduring such humiliation and barely surviving!
But he couldn't.
His Senior Brothers entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and he was duty-bound to shoulder the mission of protecting the Sect's future.
Now, the clouds have parted to reveal the moon; not only has the Saintess Qian Muli, who was missing for many years, been found, but they also have a safe and stable place for development. The Disciples no longer need to live in constant fear. The task he bore has now reached Perfection!
One day, when his soul returns to the underworld, he will be able to face his Senior Brothers who rest beneath the earth with a clear conscience.
"Uh, why does 'regaining its former glory' sound a bit odd!" Chen Xuan interjected at an opportune moment.
The Third Elder, who was shedding tears, gave Chen Xuan a resentful look.
(Stuck on writing, it's killing me, Woo woo woo)
