Chapter Thirty-Four: Old Acquaintances

as being played, the stakes were high and the battle was fierce.The sky-blue chips represent the currency, Dao Yuan Stone.The gambling table involving Dao Yuan Stone is far beyond those games with gol...Somewhere deep in the old forest.

In an artificially created open space.

Zhao Ruocheng sat on the ground with his head bowed.

If he were someone familiar from Maplewood City in the past, it would be hard to recognize Zhao Ruocheng at this moment.

Because his long hair was disheveled, his robe was dirty and torn, he even sat directly on the ground!

For Zhao Rucheng, who was always particular and picky about everything from food and clothing to housing and transportation, this was simply unimaginable.

However, at this moment he was sitting unkempt and dishevelled, looking no different from an ordinary homeless person.

Uncle Deng stood before him, his voice still gentle, but with a hint of questioning: "Are you sure about this"

“No need to think about it anymore.” Zhao Ruocheng raised his head and said calmly.

Though his hair was dishevelled and his face dusty, he could not conceal his handsome features.

His face, once alight with laughter and ease, was now replaced with a solemnity bordering on coldness.

"In fact, I used to tolerate your wasting your talents and squandering your time. Not only because I didn't want to interfere with your decisions, but also because…"

Uncle Deng sighed: "This terrible world, the stronger you are, the greater the danger you face. With your talent, one day you will encounter dangers that even I cannot solve. Just like..."

“Just like this time at Maple Forest City,” Zhao Rucheng took over his words. His tone was very calm.

However, it was precisely this deliberate suppression of tranquility that revealed the pain in his heart.

“So,” he said. “Just get stronger. Just always be stronger than the danger.”

Uncle Deng fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Ruchen continued, "Before, I always felt that what was the point of trying hard No matter how much effort you put in, it wouldn't make a difference. It's better to just get by day by day, live one day at a time. The world is so vast, and life is so short. As you walk, you don't have to keep going. It's too hard, unnecessary."

Every time I see Ling He and Jiang Wang training like they're fighting for their lives, I want to laugh. But always laughing, my eyes get wet.

“At first, I didn't understand why I was crying. Later, I realized it wasn't because I wanted to laugh at them, but because I envied them. I envied them for not knowing what the future held. I envied them for being able to move forward with such certainty. I envied them.”

They have hope, direction, and a future. So effort is a happy thing. No matter how hard it is, it's sweet.

“From the day I was born, I had no hope, no direction, no future. The higher I climbed, the darker it got. So I envied them. I befriended them. They were sincere to me, and I was sincere to them. I mocked them, yet I yearned for them. I saw a different kind of life in them.”

“But now,” Zhao Rucheng paused, then said, “all their hopes, directions, futures, have been cut off. And I, I had the chance to stop all of this. If I hadn't wasted my years, if I hadn't squandered my time.”

Perhaps I can never save myself. But there are a few moments, maybe, when I could save the people who truly matter to me. I want to strive for those moments now.

Zhao Ruocheng, speaking, adjusted his posture from sitting to kneeling, and respectfully knelt before Deng Shu.

Uncle Deng watched silently, without reaching out to stop him.

Zhao Ruocheng knelt down respectfully and said earnestly, "I know you are very strong. I didn't care about these things before. But now, please let me see just how strong you are."

Refine me using every method you can imagine.

"Show me Deng Yue, the one who severed a river with a single finger."

"Look forward to my efforts."

He lowered himself, hands flat at his sides, pressing his forehead to the ground.

Uncle Deng remained silent for a very, very long time before finally saying, "Okay."

Zhong Xuan was at a private mansion in Tianfu City.

As a prominent figure of the Xuan family, he naturally possessed considerable private property.

But in the past, he would have been unable to own a private house in Chengdu, a city where every inch of land is valuable.

The Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm has been around for so many years, all its industries have long been divided and cleaned up.

>

Therefore, when I first met Jiang Wang, we could only choose to have a banquet at the family's tavern, which is why Zhong Xuan rushed into the room halfway through.

Now, if Chong Xuan Xin dares to trespass into this private residence without permission, Chong Xuan Sheng will dare to kill him on the spot.

Right after he came out of the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, this house was transferred to Chong Xuan Sheng's name.

This is just a small part of the many great benefits that Chong Xuansheng has gained.

The Chongxuan clan was a vast and imposing family, with a territory as large as a county. Most were retainers, servants, and clan guards. There weren't many true members of the Chongxuan family's main line.

As for the heir of such a family, he is undoubtedly one of the most powerful figures in the future of Qi.

No one is a fool, and those who want to invest in advance will certainly not be few.

But, as the undisputed first-in-line heir, Chong Xuan's side was already packed full of leeks and pits.

The cost of investing in him has already become prohibitively expensive.

The sudden emergence of Zhong Xuan Sheng satisfied all the expectations of those who had been longing for a new master.

As the only direct descendant who competes with Chongxuan for the succession, Chongxuan Sheng should have received more resources.

Alas, Chongxuan's true talent is simply too dazzling. People see no possibility of success in Chongxuan's defeat.

The premise of burning a cold stove is that there's a possibility of reigniting it, rather than simply letting resources go to waste.

Before Chong Xuan's rise to prominence, there were certainly other contenders vying for such a lucrative prize as the Chong Xuan family. Those individuals possessed remarkable talents and abilities, yet they all paled in comparison to Chong Xuan before him, being easily swept aside by his overwhelming dominance.

In fact, if it hadn't been for the leaders of Chong Xuan Sect needing to remind Chong Xuan Sheng because of some unspoken reasons, Chong Xuan Sheng would have had no chance of standing out at all.

Therefore, Zhong Xuan Sheng dared to take a risk and, through substituting existing resources, gained control over the exploration of the Tianfu Secret Realm for the Zhong Xuan family.

He even needed to go through the Illusory Realm of Emptiness to invite Jiang Wang from miles away. Because within his family, besides Shi Fourteen by his side, he couldn't truly trust anyone else. If Jiang Wang didn't appear, he would rather leave that spot vacant.

>

It's just like Chong Xuanxin. He always calls him "Shengge" and "family." If he dares to bring Chong Xuanxin into the Tianfu Secret Realm, Chong Xuanxin will be the first one to stab him.

Any kind of heart demon curse or similar methods would be utterly useless. After all, if Chongxuan Sheng could use such methods, Chongxuan Zun would undoubtedly know them all, and even be able to break them completely.

And the reason why Chong Xuan valued this matter so much, even to the point of following their instructions, was that even Wang Yiwu himself came forward.

Here is the translated text:

This is truly a secret realm of the Heavenly Treasury, a gamble where Chongxuan risked everything on a single throw.

This is his last hope.

If one were to die in the secret realm of the Heavenly Mansion, there would be nothing more to say.

Even if not dead, being eliminated, but living out. That's the end of everything.

>

After Chongxuan's family, it became Chongxuan's. He could never think about it again.

Yet he lived, he became the victor of the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, reserving a place in the future's Divine Ability Inner Palace.

His gamble has already been successful.

No matter how dismissive Wang Yiwu was of the Divine Ability Inner Palace.

He couldn't deny that the moment he emerged from the Heavenly Vault Secret Realm, Chong Xuan Sheng truly had the qualifications to compete with Chong Xuan Zun!

And the following period will be a time of rapid development for Chongxuan Expressway.

All that was previously observed, awaited, and should have belonged to the resources of the heavy Xuan Zun competitors will now flock in.

All that Chong Xuan Sheng needed to consider was how to digest them.

If a snake tries to swallow an elephant, it will choke to death if it can't.

Swallow it whole, and it becomes a python!
