Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!

Chapter 51 – Hit the small one, and the old one comes; Chen Changsheng: What right does it have!

With Li in tow, Chen Changsheng swiftly navigated through the dense forest, his face devoid of any expression.

Yet, this was the first time in hundreds of years that he had been truly angered.

Since gaining immortality, Chen Changsheng had always adhered to a philosophy of kindness.

Moreover, in these centuries, he had never killed anyone.

Even the Transcendent Realist, Chen Changsheng had not personally slain.

But now, someone who had always been kind was spat upon, not once, but twice.

Why did it do this?

He had neither provoked nor sought revenge, so there was no reason for it to act this way.

And why did it think it could do this?

It was merely a Thunder Beast at the Divine Transformation stage.

He had encountered many cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage, all of whom were renowned figures.

The Wolf King of Nightmoon Kingdom, Wanyan Aguduo, the founder of Shangqing Temple, the Transcendent Realist...

Besides these powerful beings at the Divine Transformation stage, he had also met many entities far surpassing that level.

For instance, the Xuanwu Emperor who had stepped into the Seventh Realm, and the indescribable terror of the Ancient Forbidden Zone.

Even such formidable beings as these had never spat at him.

He was a true disciple of Shangqing Temple, a guest of honor in the Xuanwu Nation, and a Funeral Escort walking through the river of history.

Countless prodigies were his friends, and mighty beings capable of moving mountains and filling seas conversed with him jovially.

With all this, why should he be spat upon by a mere Thunder Beast?

Fueled by anger, Chen Changsheng's speed increased significantly, and he soon returned to the Witch Tribe's village.

As they landed, the high priest and the clan leader immediately approached to inquire about the situation.

But before they could speak, Chen Changsheng preemptively said,

"You believe I am a divine envoy, so you should also trust in my abilities."

"I will kill the Thunder Beast of the Water Moon Immortal Realm within ten years. If you believe I can win, then come and help me."

"If you think I cannot win, then leave quickly to avoid being caught in the crossfire."

With that, Chen Changsheng turned and left, leaving the high priest and the clan leader bewildered.

...

Inside the wooden hut.

Chen Changsheng was continuously writing and drawing on a piece of bark, seemingly plotting something.

At this moment, Mun entered with a plate of fresh spiritual fruits.

"Divine envoy, have some spiritual fruits to calm your anger."

Without lifting his head, Chen Changsheng replied to Mun's persuasion,

"I know you have ancestral teachings, which say not to provoke those who come from the altar."

"Although the ancestral teachings are correct, things are not set in stone."

"I am not the person mentioned in your ancestral teachings, so there's no need to call me a divine envoy."

"If you wish, you can call me Brother Changsheng."

"As for the Thunder Beast, it's a personal matter between me and it, and it won't involve the Witch Tribe, so you can rest assured."

Hearing this, Mun said,

"Divine... Brother Changsheng, that's not what I wanted to say."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at Mun with curiosity.

"If it's not about that, then what do you want to say?"

Faced with Chen Changsheng's inquiry, a hint of longing flashed in Mun's bright eyes.

"Brother Changsheng, I've heard since I was little that there's another world outside the mountains."

"But no one in the Witch Tribe knows what the outside world is like."

"You must have come from outside, can you tell me what it's like out there?"

Seeing the longing in Mun's eyes, Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said,

"The world outside the mountains is a fascinating place, but I don't recommend you learn about it."

"Why?"

"Because the outside world is even more dangerous than the poisonous insects and fierce beasts in these Ten Thousand Mountains."

"In the outside world, death can sometimes be a relief."

Saying this, Chen Changsheng untied the wooden carving from his waist and handed it over along with the bark.

"Give the bark to Clan Leader Guli and have him set things up according to it."

"If I'm not mistaken, you will likely choose to join me in dealing with the Thunder Beast."

"As for this wooden carving, consider it a gift."

"Since I arrived, you've been eyeing it, making me feel quite embarrassed."

At these words, Mun's face instantly turned red.

"Brother Changsheng, I wasn't."

"Do you think I can't tell?"

"It's just an ordinary wooden carving, nothing significant. If you want it, take it and play with it."

The wooden carving at Chen Changsheng's waist was of an adorably clumsy sheep.

Having frequently worked as a carpenter, Chen Changsheng's carving skills were naturally impeccable.

Mun, having grown up in these isolated mountains, was understandably captivated by Chen Changsheng's novel creation.

"Thank you, Brother Changsheng."

Mun happily thanked Chen Changsheng and then left the room cheerfully.

Watching Mun's departing figure, Chen Changsheng smiled and then refocused on the matter of the Thunder Beast.

The Beast Tribe typically lived in groups, and Chen Changsheng wasn't particularly worried about the Divine Transformation stage Thunder Beast in the Water Moon Immortal Realm.

What truly concerned him was the race behind the Thunder Beast.

In the cultivation world, it's common for a small one to bring an elder, and for an elder to bring an even older one.

Precisely because of this, Chen Changsheng was investing significant effort in his arrangements.

After all, exterminating a race is no simple task.

While he was indeed kind, he was never a pushover.

The grudge over those two spits could not be settled so easily.

...

Under Chen Changsheng's direction, the Witch Tribe quickly began working fervently.

Towering trees were felled, and many peculiar patterns were carved out by the tribe members using tools.

Chen Changsheng supervised the progress of the formation, pointing out any mistakes to the others.

At this moment, Clan Leader Guli approached.

"Divine envoy, will these things drive away the Thunder Beast?"

"They won't. This is merely an improved Gathering Spirit Array. It not only gathers spiritual energy but also shields against the miasma in the mountains."

"I've observed the Witch Tribe's way of using Gu insects. Their power is considerable, but unfortunately, you've encountered their nemesis, the Thunder Beast."

"The Thunder Beast's tough scales can resist most Gu insects, and its innate divine ability severely restrains them."

"If not for this, you wouldn't be in such a dire situation."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's analysis, Guli smiled wryly and said,

"The divine envoy is right. Our Witch Tribe has survived in the mountains because we have our ways of dealing with danger."

"Regrettably, our tribe's Golden Silkworm Gu has been lost, otherwise, we might have been able to handle the Thunder Beast."

"Golden Silkworm Gu?"

"What is that?"

"It's the most powerful Gu insect of our tribe, more accurately referred to as the Gu God."

"Legend has it that the Golden Silkworm Gu can devour everything in the world, and even the Thunder Beast's scales cannot withstand it."
