"Debt, huh."
From the first time seeing Chen Zhaosheng, he looked at me with curiosity, the second time when I brought Chen Zhaosheng to Celestial Saint Mountain, he was naive, the third time he expressed determination to go home, the fourth time we met again when he joined the Celestial Spider, and most recently, Chen Zhaosheng has started growing a beard.
"In the blink of an eye, the little fellow from back then has now reached thirty years old."
Mo Qingyue's eyes were filled with reminiscence, as if recalling the changes in Chen Zhaosheng over the years, and also reminiscing the thirty years she herself had passed.
Half a cycle in the blink of an eye.
For a cultivator like her, it's just moving from Nirvana Fifth Layer to newly breaking through to the Peak, time hardly seems long.
But for another member of the Chen family.
"Young Master Xuantian, Chen Zhixing... Hmm, this title is because he holds the Profound Celestial Mirror?"
Thinking of the little fellow who should have called her granny, yet insisted on calling her sister, now having surpassed her in cultivation, Mo Qingyue's memories of the past became a bit hazy.
"How could it be so fast? Chen Tianyuan, did you foresee today's scenario, which made you decide to push Chen Zhaosheng into the Celestial Spider?"
...
Celestial Spider!
A spider born to hunt all beings under the heavens.
Who is the celestial being of the Cangxuan Realm?
The Three Great Sacred Lands.
And who are all beings?
Under Longevity, all beings!
The original intention of founding Celestial Spider was to handle matters inconvenient for the Three Great Sacred Lands to personally intervene, yet in reality, almost reigning over Cangxuan, there isn't much the lands couldn't handle openly?
Thus initially, Celestial Spider was just an ordinary accumulation organization.
Until Daluo Taoist Lands started using it to study reincarnation, researching whether ancient souls could return to the present world with their former Golden Nature, Celestial Spider began to gain prominence.
Even so, its actual positioning remains secretive, unsuitable to reveal openly.
If not for Chen Zhixing's change, in the natural course of events, there wouldn't have been the scene of Chen Daoyan meeting Mo Qingyue, nor the Celestial Spider taking away Chen Zhaosheng in the Southern Wilderness.
Celestial Spider would have remained in the shadows.
Reviving.
Experimenting.
Being researched.
Operating secretly, or obtaining 'new life.'
Everything is relative, Chen Zhixing's changes resemble a cicada appearing out of season, chirping, misleading those hearing its song into thinking it was summer.
Summer, the season when spiders breed.
Central Domain, Emperor's Burial Mountain.
The legendary burial place of the last Emperor Longevity of the Immortal Divine Court, also one of the Secret Realms controlled by Daluo Taoist Lands.
The Luotian Small Realm's entrance is established here.
Established in the fog that remains year-round.
"Dark Gate Soul Luo."
Accompanied by a cold male voice, a light gate gradually appeared within the fog, and shortly after, silhouettes draped in black robes and concealing white faces emerged one by one from the mist.
He... No, perhaps 'they' would be more fitting.
They are ghostly, like evasive Yin Soldiers, a group of figures who shouldn't exist, walking anew under daylight.
Silent steps, leaving no trace.
Yet the vaguely cold male voice echoed by their sides.
"Fang Cun, fell in Jiangzhou, the Venerable Lord commands you to bring him back to position."
"The Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror also needs retrieval; it's the item the Venerable Lord entrusted to the Sikong family."
"And Chen Zhixing, his body is quite suitable for reviving the Emperor Venerable."
The multitude of orders issued made several silhouettes in the group of black-robed figures pause slightly, the seemingly tranquil white masks twisted in an instant.
The male voice resounded once more.
"Don't worry, there will be someone to assist you when you arrive."
The black-robed figures calmed upon hearing this.
Limited wisdom allowed them to perceive danger, instinctively wanting to reject these orders leading to death, yet unable to resist under the pressure of the revered.
But.
Jiangzhou's Ziwei Mountain, isn't it the main base of the Ziwei Chen Family?
What means are there to take someone from under the formidable Ziwei Divine Prohibition in the eyes of the Longevity True Monarch?
And to seize the Longevity Soldiers and a body of Peak level?
Such a feat, even for a Longevity True Monarch personally intervening, would be impossible.
...
Jiangzhou, Ziwei Mountain.
For some reason.
Chen Zhixing suddenly awoke from cultivation, his left eye twitching in that instant.
"Celestial Heart warning? Left-eye disaster alert?"
Chen Zhixing frowned slightly, then his lips curled slightly.
With five fingers calculating, the Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror emerged in his left eye, meanwhile, above Ziwei Mountain, endless clouds began to surge layer upon layer, starlight fell from the sky, forming a celestial avatar of the Profound Celestial Mirror, emitting boundless divine radiance illuminating all directions.
Ziwei Mountain.
Even throughout Jiangzhou.
Countless people raised their heads to witness this seemingly miraculous scene.
"Is it because I haven't shown myself much these years, that someone dares to target me?"
A moment later, as the starlight-reflected Profound Celestial Immortal Mirror slowly dissipated, Chen Zhixing's left eye had already reflected the silhouettes of those emerging from the black mist.
The signature black robes and white masks revealed to Chen Zhixing who was targeting him.
"Celestial Spider?"
Somewhat surprised, even the surprise contained a slight sense of disbelief: "These things that can't stand the spotlight are daring to make trouble for me again?"
