Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1782: Chapter 1782: Found

The remaining ten people had no chance against the Coiling Dragon Branch.

Su Yuanyuan knew this wouldn’t work; this was their home turf, and they couldn’t be so passive.

She released the Chaos Fire.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, why?"

Tan Shaoting’s True Sun Fire also emerged, two small flames encircling the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon.

Su Yuanyuan sneered slightly. "Release the person we are looking for."

"You?"

"It doesn’t matter if you don’t release him; you’ll vanish in this world."

Once Qi Yan’s Thunder Fire joined in, the Tree Demon became thoroughly obedient.

Suddenly, a man emerged from the trunk; it was the very person they were looking for, Chen Rushi.

Chen Xue Man couldn’t care about anything else now, staring at her father, who seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

Xiao Ya stopped Chen Xue Man. "Wait, let me take a look."

Buddha Power enveloped Chen Rushi, revealing the original person had transformed into a branch.

Su Yuanyuan’s eyes widened in shock. The Glazed Fire appeared on the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon’s body.

Glazed Fire is Cold Fire; initially, the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon was frightened. The power didn’t seem particularly strong. Just as it attempted to counter the Glazed Fire, the small flame had already reached its body.

The demon began to scream miserably, trying to extinguish the flame with its hands, but it was impossible.

The Coiling Dragon Tree Demon was genuinely terrified. Another person emerged from the trunk, this time awake and with open eyes.

Upon seeing his daughter, Chen Rushi’s eyes lit up.

Xiao Ya still wasn’t reassured. When Buddha Power enveloped Chen Rushi, he didn’t resist at all.

Once Xiao Ya’s Buddha Power was withdrawn, the bindings on Chen Rushi’s body became apparent.

This time, no one held back Chen Xue Man, who quickly approached her father, trying to pull off the bindings, but it was futile.

Chen Rushi shook his head at his daughter. Qi Hong stepped forward, and the Green Wood Fire appeared, while the still-screaming Coiling Dragon Tree Demon anxiously spoke, "Release me, and I’ll release Chen Rushi."

Su Yuanyuan ignored it entirely, recognizing it as a demon, clueless about the situation’s reality. Even now, it wanted to negotiate terms?

The Green Wood Fire reached the branches. The thing had intelligence and tried to avoid it in fear. But bound to Chen Rushi, it had no choice but to release him.

Qi Hong had already restrained it; no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t escape.

"Father."

Chen Rushi embraced Chen Xue Man. "I was still thinking of when I could come down to see you."

Chen Xue Man was finally in her father’s arms and very excited.

"Dad, I finally found you."

"Yes, my daughter has already reached the Immortal World." It must be that the Ascension Channel has been repaired.

Chen Rushi patted Chen Xue Man’s shoulder. "Hold on."

Then he released his daughter and appeared beside the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon. "Why bother?"

"You’re leaving, how could I let you go?" the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon replied miserably, enduring the burning of Abnormal Fire while unable to escape underground.

"You know my companions do not wish to take your life; otherwise, you would no longer exist.

After all these years, despite being trapped, I don’t hate you. I don’t wish you harm; swear an oath, so you don’t have to suffer."

"Can’t you stay with me?"

"You know that’s impossible."

"We’ve been together for so many years, why do you have to leave? Isn’t it good here? I have no intention to harm them; you know this. I even want to help you keep your daughter here."

Chen Rushi shook his head. "That’s not possible. I’m a man, and you’re a Tree Demon."

"I can transform into a woman; why can’t you agree?"

Everyone was stunned by such shocking news.

Ignoring the Abnormal Fire, the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon attempted to rush to Chen Rushi’s side but got hurt by the True Sun Fire.

Seeing its miserable state, Chen Rushi sighed. "Swear an oath; after all these years, we can be considered friends. You haven’t harmed me, and I don’t want to harm you.

My daughter has now reached the Immortal World, and I will accompany her here as she grows."

"You’re just leaving like that? I’ll be alone again, back to solitude."

Chen Rushi sighed again. "Humans and demons can’t share the same path; we don’t even qualify as friends. You’ve cultivated until now, and it hasn’t been easy. We also don’t wish to harm you."

"I can’t bear it."

Su Yuanyuan found it interesting that this Coiling Dragon Tree Demon had human emotions.

"Alright, alright, we’ve been together for so long, yet you’re leaving me for the sake of that daughter with whom you have no blood relation?

Isn’t it good here? Why don’t we cultivate together? You mentioned wanting to become a God, didn’t you? It’s certainly possible here."

Chen Rushi shook his head. "I have my emotions too; I wish to live among people, just as you wish to exist here. Keep cultivating; I hope you can become a God."

The Coiling Dragon Tree Demon laughed bitterly, "Is that what you meant by humans and demons following different paths? I only truly understand it now.

Alright, I’ll swear that I’ll let you leave without doing anything bad."

Chen Rushi and Su Yuanyuan cupped their hands together. "Thank you for showing mercy; its path of cultivation has not been easy, and you all could see it bore no karma."

Su Yuanyuan withdrew the two Abnormal Fires, and Tan Shaoting and his son also did the same.

The expression on the Coiling Dragon Tree Demon’s face was very sad. "Chen Rushi, I will continue cultivating, aiming to become a God, and upon transformation once more, I will certainly become a woman."

With that, it disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Chen Xue Man approached her father. "Dad."

Chen Rushi smiled at his daughter and then bowed to everyone present. "Thank you all."

Chen Xue Man held her father’s arm. "Dad, this is Su Yuanyuan; the Ascension Channel was repaired by this group."

Chen Rushi cupped his hands, "Thank you, young friend, for taking care of my daughter."

"Senior, you’re too kind."

"Dad, this is our ancestor, Gu Ersheng."

Chen Rushi laughed, "Ancestor, I have always known of you, but every time I sought you, you had already left."

"Alright, this is not the place for reminiscing. Let’s leave here, and we’ll have time to catch up later."

"I’ll lead the way. Shall we leave here or continue onward?"

Everyone looked at Su Yuanyuan, waiting for her decision.

"Let’s find a place to cultivate."

They understood her intent; right now, there’s likely no suitable place outside for cultivation. Having found Chen Rushi, there’s not much else in the East Immortal Emperor Realm. Heading West means needing to work hard to improve cultivation.

"Since that’s the plan, I have a place; I stayed there for a few years."

Everyone followed closely behind Chen Rushi, understanding that he and his daughter needed time together. Upon reaching a valley, they each entered the Array to cultivate.
