Chapter 655
Silence fell. Chen Xuan was still staring blankly at the campfire. Bai Li knew that her master was thinking or planning a solution.
However, out of instinct, Bai Li was still worried about Chen Xuan's situation.
She grabbed Chen Xuan's hand and shook it, saying uncertainly, "Anyway, we don't owe him anything. If it doesn't work out, we can just leave her here and pretend we never met."
Hearing Bai Li's words about willingly playing the "bad guy," Chen Xuan snapped out of his daze, smiled, and patted her head to comfort her.
"As my understanding of the Dao deepened, I gradually realized that a pure Dao heart is the key."
If I break my promise this time, regardless of her life or death, not to mention the impact this will have on us when it comes to light, the inner demon tribulation after the heavenly tribulation will also affect me.”
Thoughts come from genuine feelings; they never appear out of thin air.
Chen Xuan had considered taking on the responsibility of fulfilling his promise to Elder Sang, but whenever he thought about doing so, the idea of undergoing tribulation would involuntarily surface in his mind.
This is a warning from the unseen world, but it is nothing more than a warning.
As for how to do it and how much impact it will have, that depends on how big one's personal goals are.
If Chen Xuan's lifelong goal is to reach the Realm of the Void Immortal, then this promise is utter garbage.
But Chen Xuan's goals, let alone becoming an Earth Immortal or a Celestial Immortal, are nothing compared to the cultivation system he wants to follow.
The ultimate path, the most profound path of the Great Dao, allows one to fight across one or two levels, regardless of their current realm.
Following this logic, when Chen Xuan returns to the Void, he will be able to stir up Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals across the Heavenly Tribulation.
The extreme cultivation systems cultivated by these individuals, including the Supreme Void Immortals, trigger wind, fire, and thunder tribulations, as well as inner demon tribulations. Regardless of their scale, specifications, or severity, these tribulations are estimated to be the most severe among the tribulations in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
With this goal and ambition, Chen Xuan had to do everything in his power to avoid any factor that might affect the final outcome.
If one ignores this and leaves behind a little here and a little there during cultivation, over time, it may become the root of the problem that prevents Chen Xuan from transcending the Tribulation of the Supreme Celestial Immortal.
Only after being diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer do you realize you should eat properly; only when a fist-sized tumor grows on your head do you remember you should lie down; only when you're about to poop do you think about finding a toilet.
By then it will be too late to make amends.
"Master, what do you mean?" Bai Li looked at Chen Xuan. Although the rational choice was to give up on this girl, in Bai Li's mind, she would support and carry out any decision Chen Xuan made without hesitation.
"Naturally, we will do our best to send her to Qingtian County to complete this trial of her Dao heart, as agreed."
Chen Xuan's decision this time is like an ordinary person's life choice after graduation in his previous life, reaching a crucial crossroads.
Chen Xuan can't control others, but he will definitely see things through to the end. He will do what he believes will strengthen his resolve.
"Alright, so what should we do now?" After learning of Master Chen Xuan's choice, Bai Li's gaze towards the unconscious girl softened considerably.
Chen Xuan stood up and walked over to the girl. Judging from her appearance, she was about the same age and height as Jiang Linglong. "Everyone says it's good to have a big tree to shelter under, but no one pays attention to how fiercely those on their own side fight for this shady spot."
With a wave of his hand, a black, ancient palace appeared in Chen Xuan's palm, spinning rapidly. "Collect." A suction force acted on the girl, and she was directly teleported into the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion.
"If we encounter powerful members of the Blood Hand Organization again on our journey, and if they investigate us thoroughly, we'll be in trouble." Bai Li's face turned pale when she heard Chen Xuan's words.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan gave a wry smile and looked at Bai Li, saying, "Don't worry, we just need to do our best and leave the rest to fate. If this decision is destined to be wrong, then we can only say that we must consult the almanac for the next trip."
That's how Chen Xuan is; he can ease the originally oppressive atmosphere with just a few words.
"Alright, have dinner and get some rest. We'll head to Dead Sea City first thing tomorrow morning."
When it came to the part that Bai Li was good at, she immediately became confident.
The carefully cut and preserved pieces of fish and wild animal meat, as well as various wild fruits, were many of which Chen Xuan had never seen before, let alone tasted.
On the huge fur, Bai Li brought out and arranged delicacies, wild fruits, spirit wine and other things. After a while, Bai Li took off the floral apron from her waist and looked at Chen Xuan, who was still reading the classics, and said: "Master, everything is ready. After experiencing so many hardships today, you must have a good meal."
The intoxicating aroma of wine, the savory scent of barbecue from his past life, and the refreshing fragrance of fruit all assaulted Chen Xuan's taste buds.
“That’s right.” Chen Xuan smiled and took the spirit wine that Bai Li handed him. “The world of cultivators is far more chaotic than the society of my previous life. We have no way of knowing whether a surprise or an accident will come first. So, let’s just treat every meal as our last supper.”
"Master, come, Bai Li toasts you." Bai Li's carefree nature meant she couldn't hide any sadness in her heart. So, after hearing that her thoughts had been affirmed by her master, she smiled and raised her glass in a toast.
Chen Xuan picked up the wine jar brewed by Binghuo, and the two of them, in front of the campfire on the mountaintop, had a clash of wine like they had at the dinner table in their previous lives.
The atmosphere on the mountaintop had been extremely gloomy before, but in a short time, it has now become extremely pleasant and warm.
Chen Xuan ate and drank, praising Bai Li's increasingly exquisite cooking skills.
And what about Bai Li?
She had the personality of a little girl, and gradually lost herself amidst Chen Xuan's sincere praise.
Until Bai Li suddenly said, "Master, look how well Bai Li cooks, and how sensible she is. She'll definitely be a good wife in the future, right?"
The unfamiliar word, when uttered by Bai Li, caused Chen Xuan to choke.
"Ah yes, ah yes yes yes."
"Hehe, I knew it."
After dinner, Bai Li obediently packed her things.
After finishing tidying up, Chen Xuan subconsciously wanted to return to the flying boat to continue his cultivation.
"Master, Bai Li wants to sleep with you." Of course, "sleep together" was just the literal meaning. Chen Xuan thought that the series of events that had happened today must have frightened this little girl, so he simply didn't scold her and nodded slightly.
Inside the cabin, everything was covered by a huge, soft monster hide. Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the outside, while Bai Li curled up inside like a well-behaved kitten.
Even when she was asleep, Bai Li still held Chen Xuan's hand tightly with both arms.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head slightly. Then he slowly closed his eyes. Although his main body had entered the state of embryonic breathing and spirit refining, the scene inside the Northern Underworld Immortal Mansion was quite different.
As Qing Tian Yu'er was moved into the Northern Underworld Immortal Palace.
