Chapter 2823: Chapter 2818: Returning to the Spirit Realm_1
Yun Bietianzun looked at Yang Chen’s humble dwelling and couldn’t help but smile awkwardly and feel embarrassed.
He learned a lot about Yang Chen from Yunqi Tianzun, and once he knew, he realized what kind of genius Yang Chen was.
With Yang Chen’s current performance, it would be quite difficult to find another such brilliant genius in the Southern Realm, let alone someone who could surpass him throughout the ages.
How could he have known Yang Chen’s true identity at first? He thought Yang Chen was just a very ordinary character, and he didn’t think too much, which led to this result.
Yun Bietianzun laughed repeatedly, "Young friend Yang Chen, I apologize for the lack of hospitality. It’s my fault."
"Seniors, you’re being too modest. It’s just a simple dwelling, there’s no need to blame yourselves," Yang Chen smiled slightly. "By the way, why have the two seniors come to find me...?"
"Yang Chen, my friend, come with us. Let’s talk while we walk!" Yun Bietianzun spoke gently.
Hearing this, Yang Chen nodded and followed the two of them.
On the way, Yang Chen was quite surprised.
Logically speaking, if it were about Bao Lu or his issues with the King of Joyful Sound, the two of them should have mentioned it directly. But now they wanted to discuss the matter on the road, which obviously meant that this was not something that could be explained in a short time.
As Yang Chen pondered, Yunqi Tianzun and Yun Bietianzun exchanged glances and said with a friendly smile, "Young friend Yang Chen, the Spirit King has already been informed about the matter with the King of Joyful Sound. It’s only a matter of time before King Yueyin arrives. As for now, the Spirit King has another task for you!"
"What does the Spirit King want this junior to do?" Yang Chen couldn’t help but be curious.
"This matter has to do with the Spirit Realm," Yun Bietianzun said truthfully.
Yang Chen paused slightly.
How did they know about the people from the Spirit Realm?
But thinking about it, it must be because of Golden Claw.
Yun Bietianzun and Yunqi Tianzun didn’t say anything more, and Yang Chen knew that asking them further would be meaningless, so he followed the two of them to a relatively simple palace in the Heaven Lord Pavilion.
Actually, the Spirit King should still be living in the Spirit King Palace after all, since Yang Chen now has the key and can come and go freely.
But the Spirit King had finally come out, and he was obviously traumatized by the Spirit King Palace, so he decided not to return to the palace anymore.
Now, as they waited here and saw Yang Chen and the others arrive, the Spirit King’s smile gradually appeared on his face.
He looked at Yang Chen, clearly enjoying the sight; as the three of them approached, he waved his sleeve and said calmly, "Please, sit."
Yang Chen nodded without pretense and sat down. It was only after sitting down that he realized there were more than just the three of them in this hall.
In addition to himself, Golden Claw, Zhang Xuelian, and his familiar Li Chongxiao were all present.
Then, there were several other people from the Spirit Realm who seemed to be the outstanding individuals who performed well when they came to the Heaven Lord Pavilion, all of whom had been summoned here.
Yang Chen and Golden Claw looked at each other and smiled, but because the Spirit King was present, they didn’t say much.
As for Zhang Xuelian, there was no need for words between her and Yang Chen to express their affection.
Yet Li Chongxiao, looking at Yang Chen, had his eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly smiling but in fact as sharp as a poisonous snake. It was not difficult to judge that he already knew about Yang Chen’s identity.
Yang Chen looked at Li Chongxiao with the same cold expression.
Now that Yang Chen had arrived, the Spirit King smiled and said, "Yang Chen, they should have told you about the matter for which I called you here."
"Spirit King senior, concerning the matter of the Spirit Realm, what are you suggesting?" Yang Chen asked, puzzled.
Now Yang Chen took a serious look at the Spirit King and found that although his complexion had recovered somewhat, it was still quite different from that of a normal cultivator.
It was not difficult to judge that the Spirit King was still far from his heyday.
The Spirit King said, "Regarding your matter, Golden Claw has already told me about it. In fact, I was somewhat indecisive about the matter of the Spirit Realm before, because there are many opinions from the people below. My plan was to unite the forces of the Southern Realm and the Spirit Realm to resist the Netherworld together. So I brought over cultivators from the Spirit Realm to train at the Heaven Lord Pavilion, enhancing the Spirit Realm and ourselves at the same time."
These words were not only addressed to Yang Chen but also to the other people from the Spirit Realm.
Yang Chen nodded, and now he had a better understanding of the Spirit King’s motive for gathering them here.
"Now it seems that the results are good. Among the cultivators of the Spirit Realm, there are many outstanding individuals, such as Golden Claw, Zhang Xuelian, and Li Chongxiao. They are the brilliant talents of the Spirit Realm. It can be seen that cultivating the Spirit Realm is the right choice. However, unfortunately, I still hear some discordant voices. They still deny the value of cultivating the Spirit Realm, saying that Golden Claw is purely because of his bloodline, Zhang Xuelian is the Chosen One, and Li Chongxiao is the result of accumulated efforts. In short, it has nothing to do with the Spirit Realm itself."
With his hands behind his back, the Spirit King continued, "There’s some truth to these words. However, with the emergence of young friend Yang Chen, these voices have been completely silenced. Having just one exceptional person could be understood as luck, but now there are numerous outstanding figures in the Spirit Realm, proving that the king’s strategy works. So, after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to implement the next step, which is to bring a large number of cultivators from the Spirit Realm to the Heaven Lord Pavilion for training, so as to be fully prepared for the tug-of-war against the Netherworld!"
Yang Chen’s appearance startled many of the people who had come to the Heaven Lord Pavilion from the Spirit Realm, as they were all familiar with his name.
No one could have imagined that Yang Chen would suddenly appear before them like this because they had all assumed he was dead.
Now, as the Spirit King finished speaking, Li Chongxiao stood up and said respectfully, "Senior Spirit King, the fact that you’re willing to give the Spirit Realm this opportunity is a great gift. On behalf of the Spirit Realm, I thank you."
The Spirit King was very satisfied with Li Chongxiao’s attitude, unaware of the grudge between him and Yang Chen, and even thought the two were on good terms.
Seeing Li Chongxiao’s flattery, the others immediately stood up and praised the Spirit King as well.
Not caring about these empty words, the Spirit King waved his hand and said, "Alright, let’s get to the point. The reason I called you all here is to have you return to the Spirit Realm and guide the cultivators there to come to the Southern Realm for training. This will be more appropriate than us sending envoys."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen realized that his guess had been pretty accurate.
Returning to the Spirit Realm, how nostalgic.
