Chapter 513: Chapter 399: Heavenly Person Reincarnation (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

There is a widely circulated anecdote in the worldly society, saying that in the previous dynasty, there was a monk who copied scriptures in his meditation room every day.

One day, a woman entered the meditation room. She used her sleeve to cover her face, and the monk, thinking she was a ghost, ignored her.

But the woman came every day, and finally the monk could not hold back and asked, "Who are you?" Upon hearing this, the woman lowered her sleeve, revealing a face without a mouth, shocking the monk.

A high-ranking monk heard about it and came to the meditation room to investigate. He found that in the scripture copied by the monk, the word ’如’ (meaning ’like’ in ’Great Sun Tathagata’) was missing the right side ’口’ (meaning ’mouth’), making it ’female without a mouth’. Realizing the monk had written the word incorrectly, the character transformed into a spirit to tell the monk about his mistake.

After Chen Yuan asked, the Dharma Eye operated at full capacity, calmly observing this figure, trying to discern what exactly it was, while his dantian’s Golden Core trembled, his furnace flared up, blood rushing like rivers, and two Divine Treasures ready to be unleashed.

Unexpectedly, the figure behind the bamboo curtain stood up and then leisurely spoke, clearly stating Chen Yuan’s name,

"Chen Yuan, you have a karmic connection with me!"

"A year ago, you were merely a Profound Body and weren’t invited, barged onto my ship, and then with the help of everyone successfully broke through the Heavenly Pass. At the time, I never imagined we’d have this encounter today. I didn’t expect to see you again, only to find that you’ve already ascended to the Martial Vault, and your divine skills are considerable — no less than that Half-step Dragon and Tiger who wanted to board the ship before. I’m curious, how did you do it?"

"In the hundreds of years, I’ve seen many martial arts geniuses in the eyes of worldly people, yet none of them compare to you. I even suspect you might be a reincarnated Heavenly Person."

As these words fell, this person slowly turned around, finally revealing their true appearance.

His face was like a jade crown, eyebrows like shining stars, a three-foot-long beard, black hair neatly held by a wooden hairpin, dressed in a black-collared white robe, standing over eight feet tall, with a commanding and transcendent aura.

Seeing this person’s true appearance and hearing the words ’Heavenly Person Reincarnation’, Chen Yuan was a bit sensitive, and his eyelid twitched slightly.

The term ’Heavenly Person’ was mentioned when he heard the Dragon Breeding Clan talk about Baiyu Capital, said to be a legendary existence beyond the land immortals, casting light on a region of heaven and earth, ethereal and elusive. Elder Dong from the Dragon Breeding Clan once said there are ancient rumors suggesting Baiyu Capital is the abode of heavenly beings.

His origins are a secret he has never shared with outsiders; he is certainly not a heavenly person but indeed reincarnated from beyond the heavens.

The other party, with a few words, sought to probe his origins. More precisely, they wanted to know the secret of his rapid cultivation progress, perhaps revealing their purpose in secretly following him.

He has always held the greatest suspicion of others!

Moreover, his diverse experiences have given him his own judgments.

Thinking of this, a chill rose in his heart, yet his face remained unaffected, and his eyes, shining with a slight golden light, met this person’s gaze through the bamboo curtain.

He was confident and unafraid of this person. If this person truly had the ability to act, they would have done so long ago, during the time when they fell into the Ten Thousand Mountains, not secretly following behind Chen Yuan and his group.

As for the implied meaning behind this person’s words, it seemed to suggest to Chen Yuan that they were indeed the owner of the ship.

Whether before or after life, asking would reveal it.

"You know my origins, but I have yet to know your name. To my knowledge, the owner of this ship transformed his Tao hundreds of years ago. He was a Dragon Tiger Senior!" Chen Yuan said, lifting his eyelids slightly to observe the other party’s reaction.

The other party seemed to see through Chen Yuan’s mind, chuckled, "No need to guess, I did indeed achieve my transformation over two hundred years ago. Now, I am merely a wisp of spirit left by secret techniques, residing in this law ship, drifting about and surviving."

As he spoke, a trace of reminiscence crossed his face,

"Time flies so swiftly; it’s been so long since I’ve had a pleasant conversation with anyone..."

Then, he reminisced about his life.

This person was named Wen Yan, styled Anhou, from Jianghuai, born into a noble family, fond of debating scriptures with people in his youth. Later, he made a name for himself, entered the officialdom, but became weary of the mundane pursuit of fame and fortune, returned to his hometown, spent his days roaming the mountains and rivers with friends, visiting renowned figures in the worldly society, brewing tea and discussing Tao. Unknowingly, his cultivation advanced rapidly, stepping into the Dragon and Tiger realm, gaining substantial fame between the worldly society and the imperial court. As for what happened later, it followed a stereotypical pattern.

Throughout the narrative, there were no embellishments, straightforward and clear, compelling belief.

Chen Yuan listened, verifying with the intelligence about the ship’s owner he had gathered from different sources, believing that the person might not be lying in this account.

The earliest rumor he heard was that the ship’s owner was a regular martial artist who frequently sailed at night, listening to extraordinary people discussing worldly anecdotes and debating scriptures, gradually gaining insight and thus achieving enlightenment.

Frankly, such romanticized rumors are mostly untrue, containing unrealistic elements. Upon proper analysis, the leap from an ordinary martial artist to a Great Dragon Tiger Ability is akin to the crossing from a commoner to an official in the scholarly class; talent is secondary, the key is resources, elixirs, cultivation techniques, and fundamental divine skills...

It’s absurd to think that simply listening to conversations can lead to instant elevation!

On the contrary, the background he revealed aligns better with reality—born into a wealthy family, having sufficient resources, and extraordinary talent.

"I will tentatively believe what you’ve said!" Chen Yuan listened to the narrative, his expression unchanged, then his tone shifted, "But I don’t understand, why are you following me?"

He posed the critical question, awaiting the other’s response.

As he spoke, his gaze unreservedly revealed a sharpness.

Yet, in the face of his scrutiny, this self-proclaimed Dragon Tiger Senior who had achieved transformation over two centuries ago maintained a gentle, insightful smile.

"Hehe, General Chen’s concerns are known to me. Mr. Wen naturally has no ulterior motives, just wanted to find a way out of this Ten Thousand Mountains with General Chen after dealing with those demons in Qingshan County. After all, it’s better to survive poorly than to die with dignity, after having lived through several centuries."

He spoke lightly, naturally, making it hard to doubt, and he emphasized his assistance in slaying the demons in Qingshan County.

Moreover, the reason was plausible.

"How, then, did you find me?" Chen Yuan’s eyes flickered with golden light as he asked in a slightly altered tone.

At that, Marquis Wen An gave Chen Yuan a faint smile, "That is the work of my providential skills. General Chen once boarded my ship, leaving an imprint."

This sentence was spoken halfway, and the latter part naturally needed no elaboration.

It was meant to be clear.

..........

After a pot of tea’s time, the Three-pointed Two-blade Spear buzzed and detached from the window, flying back.

At the same time, a figure in green clothes emerged from the shattered window, leaping over the deck, rushing out of the white mist, and leaving the ship.

Below, the three Grand Protectors of Taisui Mountain were still resisting the strange pressure released by the ship, and in this moment, they disappeared.

The three seemed to have received a transmission, and after taking a glance at the shadowy, brilliantly lit ship, they gave a loud shout, stepped, and followed Chen Yuan out of the white mist, leaving the ship.

Once they left, the lights on the ship quickly flickered and extinguished, the shadowy figures reflected in the windows faded as the lights dimmed.

Soon, the entire ship fell silent, the white mist quickly rolled back, and swiftly sank into the underground river.

In the blink of an eye, the water surface returned to calm, and the ship disappeared entirely.

"Colonel Chen, what did you see?"

The three from Taisui Mountain stood beside Chen Yuan, watching the ship vanish before turning their attention to him.

Chen Yuan, slightly raising his eyelid, looked back at his companions and remained silent, leaving them puzzled as the ship vanished from sight.
