Chapter 283: Rebirth: I'm an Old Man (Part 7)

Liu Yuehong is dead.
Chen Xuan felt an unprecedented rage.
Yuan Ziyi's death only brought him a slight sadness.
But Liu Yuehong was different.
She was the first woman he had ever truly fallen in love with at first sight!
"Anyone who dares to touch my woman, even the King of Heaven himself, will pay the price!"
Chen Xuan vowed silently.
However, for months on end, Chen Xuan still hadn't succeeded.
Most importantly,
aside from the revenge missions issued,
Chen Xuan hadn't received a single mission from the system in these past few months.
This was very bad.
Chen Xuan knew that he wasn't actually a genius; everything he had was given to him by the system. Without new system missions, his cultivation would stagnate.
Chen Xuan grew increasingly impatient; his resolve began to waver.
He was a transmigrator, and fundamentally, his relationship with the Chen family wasn't close. Apart from Chen Lanlan, everyone in the Chen family was no different from NPCs in a game in his eyes.
Continuing to waste time was simply a waste of time.
Especially since Chen Xuan noticed that Princess Yun Mengyan, who had returned to Shanshi City with him, was gradually losing favor with him.
Yun Mengyan was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Her elegant and noble demeanor captivated him.
He had spent a great deal of time and effort to raise her favorability to 80, but now it had dropped to 60.
This was not good news.
"Young Master Chen, I need to return to the palace. My father is worried about my safety after being away for so long."
Yun Mengyan's patience was gradually being exhausted by Chen Xuan.
She, the princess of the Fengyun Dynasty, pampered since childhood, how could she possibly live in this impoverished backwater for long?
Seeing this, Chen Xuan blurted out, "I'll go back with you, Mengyan."
Yun Mengyan nodded, "Alright, you're my savior, you should come back with me. I'll repay you."
Chen Xuan was overjoyed.
"However..."
Yun Mengyan's tone shifted, her voice firm, "I only allow you to return to the capital with me!"
"You're not allowed to bring anyone else!"
Chen Xuan's face paled.
Yun Mengyan's attitude was resolute.
Even Chen Lanlan, Yun Mengyan wouldn't allow him to bring her back to the capital.
One was the person who had transmigrated to be by his side.
The other was the object of his fervent pursuit, and a princess of the Fengyun Dynasty.
Chen Xuan made a difficult choice.
........
Since Dongfang Yunxing killed Liu Yuehong.
He didn't immediately return to Mountain Stone City to seek revenge on the Chen family.
He heeded his master's teachings, exercising extreme caution. He lay low, secretly investigating Chen Xuan's whereabouts.
Upon learning of Chen Xuan's return to Mountain Stone City, Dongfang Yunxing wasn't blinded by rage and immediately went to confront him.
He was still no match for Chen Xuan.
He chose to cultivate day and night to become stronger.
Under Su Chen's grueling training, he repeatedly walked the line between life and death, never retreating, never crying out in the excruciating pain.
Su Chen put away the pills and casually flicked one into Dongfang Yunxing's mouth.
Yesterday, Dongfang Yunxing challenged a Spirit Sea Realm demon beast.
Unexpectedly, that demon beast had been holding back a trick up its sleeve.
Dongfang Yunxing was being hunted.
Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon a battle between two Spirit Soul Realm experts.
Dongfang Yunxing was tragically caught in the aftershocks and severely injured.
Fortunately, Su Chen intervened in time; otherwise, Dongfang Yunxing would have been obliterated by the aftershocks and died a miserable death.
Even so, all of Dongfang Yunxing's bones were crushed. For most people, this would have meant the end of their cultivation journey.
However, in Su Chen's eyes, this was nothing.
He used the remaining medicinal herbs to refine a special fourth-grade pill.
It was called the Four-Turn Golden Bone Pill.
After Dongfang Yunxing took the pill, he felt a surge of powerful energy within him, seeping into his very marrow, leaving him feeling refreshed.
Golden light shone within Dongfang Yunxing's body.
The Fourth-Rank Golden Bone Pill transformed all of Dongfang Yunxing's bones into golden bones. As the saying goes, "No destruction, no construction," and after Dongfang Yunxing's bones and muscles were reshaped, his physical body broke through, becoming comparable to a Spirit Sea Realm expert!
Three days later.
Dongfang Yunxing's injuries had mostly healed, and he felt stronger than ever before.
"What a miraculous pill!"
Dongfang Yunxing exclaimed, "Master, are you an alchemist?"
Su Chen said lightly, "Just some minor tricks, nothing to mention."
The Fourth-Rank Golden Bone Pill, in this world, would be far more valuable than most fifth-grade pills!
But in Su Chen's eyes, it was insignificant.
Over the long years, he had been invincible throughout the universe, and once the supreme ruler of all realms.
He had collected countless secrets.
Among them, countless ancient pill formulas fell into his hands. The pill formulas in his mind ranged from the lowest grade one to the highest, even surpassing ordinary Emperor Pills; he possessed formulas of all grades.
Dongfang Yunxing asked admiringly, "When will I be able to become a powerful figure like my master?"
Su Chen chuckled.
"Maybe...it will."
Dongfang Yunxing was encouraged.
He decided to go find that damned Spirit Sea Realm beast again!
Looking at Dongfang Yunxing, who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline and was full of fighting spirit, Su Chen shook his head helplessly.
Dongfang Yunxing grinded monsters and leveled up, and with Su Chen's help, his cultivation level skyrocketed.
Soon, his cultivation level reached the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm.
He began his second Nirvana.
With Su Chen's help, he successfully underwent Nirvana for a month without any major incidents. Dongfang Yunxing clearly felt that his cultivation speed was several times faster than before.
Dongfang Yunxing's cultivation level also broke through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
He only used a year and a half.
With the Nirvana Method, the Heavenly Fate Pearl, and Su Chen, the old man,
Dongfang Yunxing's cultivation speed was almost comparable to Chen Xuan, the cheater with a system.
Of course, this was after Chen Xuan had wasted several months.
Dongfang Yunxing tied his long, jet-black hair high with a ribbon. After undergoing a rebirth, his bronze skin had turned fair, his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes gleaming as he gazed into the distance, exuding confidence and spirit.
The ink-black sword at his waist hummed softly.
Chen Xuan... had already left Mountain Stone City.
Chen Xuan's departure signified that his opportunity for revenge had arrived.
"The Chen family..."
A gentle breeze swept by.
Dongfang Yunxing's figure disappeared into the distant mountain peaks.
........
Chen Xuan's final choice was to return to the capital of the Fengyun Dynasty with Yun Mengyan.
"Young Master...he will definitely come back."
Chen Lanlan looked out the window, her hands supporting her chin, her thoughts drifting.
She recalled the promise Chen Xuan had made to her when he left.
He said that when he returned, he would be famous throughout the land, and then he would take her to live in the capital.
Chen Lanlan didn't actually yearn for life in the capital.
She only wanted to live with her young master, even if it was just a simple life.
She remembered that day...
After her young master fell into the water and awoke, he was like a different person. The timid young master had become a towering genius. From that day on, life was no longer peaceful.
This is actually quite good...
Chen Lanlan comforted herself with this thought.
