Chapter 552 - Zhou Tianji (1/2)

Zhou Xuanji ran to a tree nearby and sat under it as he thought about his life. The little monk was not surprised by this strange sight, and he shook his head and smiled before going to cut some firewood.

From the 24 Rank Deep Black Lotus, Zhou Xuanji learned that the Heavenly Saints were still fighting.

The battle continued for one year, causing the astronomical signs in the Wanshen Great Thousand to greatly change. The earth collapsed and was filled with disasters, making the creatures of the Wanshen Great Thousand go through much suffering. However, this also caused wars and battles to stop.

No one knew how long the battle between the two Heavenly Saints would last for.

If they continued battling like this, the Wanshen Great Thousand would definitely be destroyed.

Zhou Xuanji was not too worried; after all, he could not defeat a Heavenly Saint.

As he grew day by day, the little monk and old monk could not remain calm.

This boy grew too quickly, as if he was some kind of monster.

The main thing was that Zhou Xuanji was too calm, and he was not like a child at all.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed.

Zhou Xuanji already looked like a teenager. The little monk had also grown, but he was only one head taller than him now.

“Freak… freak…” the old monk lay on a rocking chair as he looked at Zhou Xuanji and muttered. He continued to drink wine as he looked dismayed.

Zhou Xuanji was already used to this, and he did not pay him any mind.

Over the past six years, watching the two monks live such boring and peaceful lives, his heart also became more peaceful.

He felt as if he was watching a human life.

He had never felt this from Zhou Xiaoxuan before because he had never paid that much attention.

The little monk carried a pile of firewood over. After putting the firewood down, he wiped the sweat on his face and said, “Little Ya, don’t go to the mountains for the time-being; there are more and more ferocious beasts.”

Zhou Xuanji gave a light nod. He also noticed that the spirit qi in the world was gradually increasing.

This world was most likely going to go through a big change.

Perhaps it was because of his appearance; after all, he had the Heavenly Law Violet Qi.

It had to be said that the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique was quite profound. Even though his body was destroyed, everything on him and in him would be quickly transported with his soul to another place.

He often wondered if Xian Xianghua’s ancestor was really that powerful.

Did the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique have some other background?

As such, he started to investigate the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique.

Three years ago, he had Demon God Nanming cultivate the Celestial Demon Rebirth Technique. He had not yet finished learning it, and he wondered what would happen after he learned it.

Dividing plus rebirth?

He looked forward to it.

“This is an inauspicious sign. Who knows, we might die sometime soon,” the old monk muttered, looking quite intoxicated from the wine.

The little monk shook his head, walked over to Zhou Xuanji, and took out an apple as he smiled and said, “I bartered for this with a woodcutter; it’s very sweet.”

He had always treated Zhou Xuanji like his little brother. Even though this little brother seemed quite mature and did not like to be very friendly with him, he still liked him a lot.

Zhou Xuanji took the apple and asked, “What are your plans in the future?”

The little monk stared at him for a moment before smiling and saying, “I’ll think about it after you grow up.”

Zhou Xuanji asked, “But what about after that?”

The little monk sank into his thoughts.

He had been with the old monk since he was young and had not seen the world. It was difficult for him to come up with a goal or a plan.

Zhou Xuanji did not disturb him, and he allowed him to continue to think.

Everyone had one’s own path, and he would not require the little monk to follow him.

A mortal life was not necessarily inferior to the long road of cultivation.

After thinking for a long time, the little monk still did not have an answer. Soon, the old monk called him over to heat up water.

This brief interlude changed the little monk’s life.

After this, he would often think about his life. When it came to night time, he would look up at the starry sky together with Zhou Xuanji, both people completely silent.

He began to enjoy spacing out like this.
