Chapter 505: Chapter 195: Crossing Human River, Breath Above the Cloud Dream River! _1

"One hand pointing to the heavens, the other to the earth, battling across the world without an enemy in sight?" Shen Xuzi immediately gazed at Zhang Qiuye with a worried look.

Is there something wrong with this child?

"Yes, one hand pointing to the heavens, the other to the earth, battling across the world without an enemy in sight!" Zhang Qiuye, unaware of Shen Xuzi’s gaze, kept on rambling.

"If I’m being honest, the person I originally wanted to take as my master wasn’t Saint Chen Chen Chang’an, but the venerable Emperor Song."

"But alas, Emperor Song has remained elusive for years, so I had to switch my target."

With that said, Zhang Qiuye heaved a sigh.

"Huh? You’re saying you were originally seeking Emperor Song??" Suddenly, it clicked for Chen Chang’an who was standing by the side.

He cast a baffled gaze at Zhang Qiuye, and asked:

"Kid, don’t tell me it was you who bought up all the copies of ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’ that Emperor Song published years ago?"

Chen Chang’an suddenly recalled an incident from a few years ago, around the time he had just started peddling the ’Anecdotes of the Song Emperor’.

Back then, making a sale was a struggle, scarcely shifting a few copies after toiling the whole day.

However, for some reason, one day the sales suddenly shot up. No matter how many he took out, they were instantly sold out.

In the end, even when those books were in high demand and the price was hiked up several times, they were still out of stock, as if someone had intentionally bought up all of them.

Although Chen Chang’an had his suspicions back then, considering the substantial amount of Dao Source Stones he earned each time, he didn’t really care. He assumed people were simply foolishly drawn towards a worthless book.

Normally, Chen Chang’an wouldn’t think back on this matter, but Zhang Qiuye’s words had brought it all back in a flash. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

After all, the mantra of "One hand pointing to the heavens, the other to the earth, exalted above all" is something nobody in this world could utter!

Moreover, Chen Chang’an has only met one person who loved spending big, and that was Zhang Qiuye!

Just him!

If it’s not him, then who else could it be!

"Right, Brother Chen, is there a problem?" Zhang Qiuye looked dazedly at Chen Chang’an, then mumbled in his drunken state:

"Brother Chen, you wouldn’t know, but Emperor Song’s understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is really profound. Every Dao, under his scrutinizing gaze, seems as fleeting as one viewing flowers on horseback, effortlessly revealing their true essence. It’s terrifyingly powerful."

"If I could take on a master like him, where in the world could I not go after that?"

"Leaving everything else aside, even that one from my family would have to tread carefully around me, hahaha~!"

"Uh, this?"

Seeing this, Chen Chang’an and Shen Xuzi didn’t know what to say. Damn, this kid is a full-blown apple-polisher!

After a hearty drinking session, Zhang Qiuye got drunk. Yes, even Cultivators can get drunk.

There is a special kind of liquor for Cultivators in the Cultivation World. While it has no effect on high-level Cultivators, low-level ones like Zhang Qiuye can still get drunk from it.

It’s a wonder how this kid cultivated. Despite his age, he’s only at the third Realm. It’s unbelievable that he managed to survive in such a clan.

It seems like Zhang Qiuye’s state is quite typical for Cultivators. It’s extremely rare for those who have broken through to the fourth Realm before their twenties. Not everyone is like Chen Chang’an, blessed with an advantage and dominating the world with it.

"Respected seniors, our young master is drunk. We will take him home now. If he has caused any disturbance, Old Lu and I wish to apologize on our young master’s behalf."

Soon, two elders from behind Zhang Qiuye stepped forward, respectfully bowing to Chen Chang’an and Shen Xuzi.

Zhang Qiuye’s Cultivation is too low to discern Chen Chang’an and Shen Xuzi’s prowess, but these two elders are not like that.

Both of them have reached the sixth Realm. Although they also can’t fully fathom the true territory of Chen Chang’an and Shen Xuzi, they have a keen sense that the two are top-notch Divine Skill users.

In the world of Cultivation, strength determines respect. Those with higher Cultivation levels naturally deserve seniority.

"It’s fine, your young master is quite entertaining, you may take him home to rest," Chen Chang’an shook his head, signaling the two elders to not worry.

"Thank you, senior." Hearing Chen Chang’an’s words, the two elders heaved a sigh of relief.

After bowing courteously again, they took the drunk Zhang Qiuye away.

"By the way, when this kid sobers up, tell him to go home directly. Tell him that Chen Chang’an won’t take him as a disciple and that he should return home quickly," Chen Chang’an suddenly said as the two elders were just about to leave with Zhang Qiuye.

"Senior, this?" The two elders hesitated.

Although they were older than Zhang Qiuye, they couldn’t easily make a decision for him. More importantly, they were unclear about Chen Chang’an’s identity and the consequences of agreeing to his demand.

"May I ask who the senior is?" Eventually, after exchanging glances, the two elders greeted Chen Chang’an respectfully and asked.

"I am Chen Chang’an, the one you’ve been looking for," replied Chen Chang’an calmly.
