C98 Traversing Ten Thousand Miles

After that, Chu Chen asked Grandmaster Qing Feng about some things related to Shakyamuni. However, the results were within his expectations. After Sakyamuni created Mount Xumi and left the Bodhi tree behind, he left this place. No one knew where he went.

Then, Chu Chen asked Grandmaster Qing Feng a few questions about the meaning of the ancient scriptures, such as the Classic of the Revolving Wheel and the Classic of the Barking of Dogs.

Even though Grandmaster Qing Feng had a high reputation and understanding of buddhist arts that ordinary people could not compare to, he did not have any pride in himself as he seriously answered every question for Chu Chen.

After a moment, Chu Chen thanked Grandmaster Qingfeng, then bid his farewells. He left the place together with Si Gongya and Chen Yu.

"Brother Chu, are you so interested in Dharma?"

Over the past month, he and Chen Yu had been waiting here for Chu Chen. They did not have any interest in buddhist magic, so they did not want to disturb him.

Hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head. Although Buddhist cultivation techniques were beneficial to cultivation, they were not the main thing he cared about. He was listening here because the ancient scriptures originated from Earth, and he had the feeling that he was thinking of home.

Of course, getting him to understand the Dharma was one of them, even if it was only a small part of it.

"What do we do now?" Chu Chen asked.

"Let's return to the Northern Region Skysoul Institute. It's been a hundred years since we've returned. I wonder if everything has changed since then?"

Chen Yu lightly said. He hadn't returned for a hundred years, so he wondered what the Skysoul Institute was like now. That old friend of his, did he still remember him?

When he read this, Chen Yu could not help but feel a bit sad. However, he was still more excited. A surge of hot blood rushed up to his head.

"Let's go to a nearby marketplace and buy a flying magic tool. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to fly back to the northern region from the western region!"

The northern and western regions might be neighbors, but who knew where they were right now. If they were to fly over, they would probably be exhausted to death. After all, this place was too far away from the Skysoul Institute.

Soon after, they traversed the void and traveled for several tens of thousands of li before finally finding an ancient city that was filled with people. After entering the city, they asked around and found out that they were at least two months away from the Northern Region.

The journey was two months and it would take time to fly. If he were to travel on foot, he might not even be able to make it within a few years.

Hearing this news, Chu Chen and Si Gu Ya became dispirited for an instant. This time had exceeded their expectations.

He'd originally thought that it would take him ten days to half a month, but hadn't thought that even flying would take two months, much less walking.

However, Chu Chen was glad that the Fierce Demon did not teleport them to the Southern Domain on the other side of the Realm of Zi Wei. If that really was the case, they would have to travel across the vast Central Region in order to return to the Northern Region.

In the ancient city, they found a huge market. Then, Chu Chen used two spirit beasts to exchange for a battleship.

It was very difficult to find rare spirit beast species in the outside world. Only the most ancient sects had the ability to raise them, and perhaps it was a place like the Absolute Beginning Battlefield where rare spirit beasts existed.

Thus, it was within his expectations that Chu Chen used two spirit beasts to exchange for a warship.

After buying the warship, they didn't want to waste any time. They steered the warship into the sky and flew towards the north.

This was a light golden warship. It could fly, and its speed was very fast. It was about the same as a Martial Soul Stage cultivator.

In addition, they did not need to control the rudder. They could fly their own ships. They only needed to stay in the ship and do nothing.

In the following time, Chu Chen finally understood the true meaning of one word, which was to get drunk every day. When he was in the battleship with Si Gu Ya, he ate and drank, and he almost never stopped.

In their words, this was a type of cultivation. Absorbing the divine essence of the precious bird and the wine to nourish their limbs and bones was a type of cultivation.

Only Chen Yu was sitting cross-legged to one side, quietly cultivating. He paid no heed to outside affairs and wholeheartedly walked on the path of cultivation.

Having stayed in the absolute beginning battlefield for a hundred years, he had never tried anything before.

After leaving the absolute beginning battlefield, Chen Yu's aura seemed to keep rising. Even though this speed was very slow, Chen Yu was indeed becoming stronger.

Without the laws of the Absolute Beginning Battlefield, it could be said that Chen Yu was like a fish back in water. Any breakthrough was natural, there was no pressure.

Suddenly, the path of the strong was opening!

Chu Chen who had absorbed too much divinity essence had the appearance of breaking through to the origin realm, but Chu Chen still felt like he was close to breaking through, he couldn't find the opportunity to do so.

No matter what realm one broke through to, they would need an opportunity. This opportunity was extremely difficult to grasp. Some people were perfect in their own realm, but could not break through even after dozens or hundreds of years.

As for Chu Chen, he had long since attained perfection in the Spirit Gathering Realm and was only one step away from the Natal Opening Realm. All he needed was an opportunity to break through.

The light golden warship continued forward, passing through the mountains and seas. It also passed through the human mountains and seas. It crossed the desert, crossed the snowy mountains, and headed towards the northern region.

A month later, the warship left the western region and entered the northern region. However, it was still quite far from the Skysoul Institute and was still quite a distance away.

After finding their bearings, they headed in the direction of the Skysoul Institute.

At this moment, Chen Yu was no longer cultivating and was getting closer to the Skysoul Institute. This caused his heart to surge and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He was no longer in the mood to cultivate.

How many times had that place been haunted? How many times had it lingered in his heart? How many times had he lost himself in it. Now, they were finally near the dream place, causing a complicated expression to appear on Chen Yu's face.

"Master, are you alright in the Skysoul Institute?"

Chen Yu muttered to himself as he looked into the distant horizon, his mind in a daze.

After 20 days, the battleship entered a familiar place. Seeing this, Chu Chen's eyes lit up with a divine light and he revealed a happy expression.

"We've reached the Great Desolate City!"

Grand Desolate City was the border of the Skysoul Institute. Crossing over the city meant that he was not far from the 108th Peak.

On the other hand, Chen Yu was still in a daze. He too felt that this place was very familiar because it had already appeared countless times in his dreams.

The current him was like a half-drunk wanderer who had just returned home. When he saw the scenery in front of his house, he couldn't tell what he was feeling. There was joy, excitement, longing, thoughts, and a sense of fear.

When they arrived at the Grand Desolate City, the three of them put away the warship and descended to the ground before walking on foot.

Actually, Chu Chen and Si Gu Ya didn't really care. The main issue was Chen Yu. He wanted to get close to the beauty of this dreamscape, afraid that all of this would just be a dream come true and he would wake up …
