I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 411 Paying Homage to Ancestor Chen Yi (Please Subscribe)

Chen Yi turned his head and saw that Ning Xue was not wearing the crimson armor that represented the identity of the soldiers of Sky Dome City and the surrounding garrison, but was wearing a white dress.

Her slender figure was graceful and charming, just like she had been on Jianfeng Mountain.

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "I'll be back tomorrow."

His return to Tianyuan Continent this time was not only to pick up Lin Xueru and the others, but also to take a look back.

Chen Taiping, Xia Wanwan, Xu Sannian, Erhua, and others.

Therefore, he chose to return to Tianyuan Continent a day early, intending to spend some time in Kyoto Prefecture and Taixu Dao Sect.

"Mr. Ning also wants to go back?"

Ning Xue, who was about to nod, couldn't help but chide in annoyance upon hearing this form of address:
"Now that you are the ancestor of the human race, you should be more careful and dignified in your speech, and not be so casual."

Every time Ning Xue hears the title "Mr. Ning," the first thing that comes to mind isn't the time she spent with Chen Yi at Sword Peak Mountain, but rather that afternoon she spent in the capital city of Kyoto.

She challenged Chen Yi to a sword duel, but was defeated by the three-year-old Chen Yi.

Previously, when Ning Xue recalled this incident, she didn't think much of it; she simply regarded it as a memory worth cherishing for a lifetime.

However, as Chen Yi's strength grew and his status rose, she felt it was better not to remember many things.

The words "Mr. Ning" in particular always made her feel a little shy.

Chen Yi guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile, "I am the ancestor of the human race, but that cannot change the weight 'Mr. Ning' holds in my heart."

"Back then, you taught me swordsmanship and even gave me a lot of pills for cultivation."

“You deserve the title ‘Mr. Ning’.”

Ning Xue blushed immediately. "Junior brother, don't tease me. Master is still in the city. If he..."

Just then, a voice rang in their ears, "Ahem, your master didn't hear anything, you don't need to pay any attention to it."

"I didn't hear anything either, please continue."

"Can't you two, as elders, just stay silent? You're getting more and more shameless as you get older."

It was none other than Li Qingzhou, Xiao Huang, and Yue Ruifeng, who were in Youdu City.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help but secretly laugh and curse, "You shameless old man!"

Ning Xue had already lowered her head as far as it could go, her face flushed, like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting.

Seeing this, Chen Yi stepped forward and put his arm around her waist. "Senior sister, let's go take a look at the new city."

Before Ning Xue could react, he took a step and arrived at a fortified city that the human race was building.

With their second step, the two arrived in the heart of the Demon Court, near the banks of the Nether River.

Looking south, about 20,000 miles away lies the towering Demon Emperor's Palace.

Upon arriving here, Chen Yi released his grip and gazed at the Nether River before him, which resembled stagnant water.

Without the Barbarian Emperor cultivating the Qianyou Xuanming Divine Power within it, the Netherworld River has now returned to its former tranquility, without even a ripple.

He could vaguely see the figures of vengeful spirits and evil ghosts that seemed to be sealed by the river, wandering aimlessly beneath the surface.

Chen Yi immediately sat down on the edge of the city wall and beckoned to Ning Xue: "Senior Sister, come and sit down."

Ning Xue looked at him, her eyes reflecting his silhouette. After a moment's hesitation, she walked to his side and sat down gracefully beside him.

In a daze, she seemed to have had a similar experience with Chen Yi before.

Just like back on Jianfeng Mountain, every morning before dawn, Chen Yi would get up early and sit on the cliff top next to the martial arts arena, watching the sunrise.

Occasionally, Ning Xue would accompany him.

At that time, Ning Xue, considering herself to be the senior sister of Jianfeng Mountain, would not sit beside him. She would mostly stand under the tree behind him, watching the distant clouds with him.

That time and that moment are just like this moment.

Although the location has changed from Jianfeng Mountain to the new city on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, the people remain the same.

Ning Xue thought to herself, turned her head to look at Chen Yi, and then silently shook her head.

Actually, people have changed a bit.

Junior Brother Chen Yi is now an ancestor of the human race. In terms of cultivation, supernatural powers, and status, he is no longer the boy on Sword Peak Mountain.

He is already a towering "Azure Dragon Sword Immortal".

Ning Xue couldn't help but recall the words Chen Yi had spoken when he became the ancestor of the human race:
"As human beings, we should uphold the principles of humankind and safeguard peace for all generations."

Thinking of this sentence that stirred the blood of countless people after the autobiography was published, Ning Xue couldn't help but feel a little gratified.

When she finally saw Chen Yi standing at the pinnacle of humanity, even though she felt the gap between them widening, she still hoped that Chen Yi would become stronger and better.

At this moment, Chen Yi turned his head to meet her eyes and asked with a smile, "What is Mr. Ning thinking about?"

Ning Xue didn't avoid the question this time, and shook her head with a smile, "I was thinking, time flies so fast."

Only a little over a decade has passed, and she has arrived at the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain, while Chen Yi has reached the position of the ancestor of the human race.

Chen Yi chuckled lightly, "Senior Sister, you're not thinking that now that I'm the ancestor of the human race, things are different from before, are you?"

"Is not it?"

"Yes and no."

“My cultivation has indeed improved, and my personality is also different from before, but I am still the same person. I am Mr. Ning’s student, and I also have a junior brother.”

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Ning Xue felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

While happy, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed that my thoughts had been seen through.

"Junior brother is now a true man."

Chen Yi chuckled and said irritably, "If you don't have anything else to say to praise me, you don't have to."

Ning Xue smiled, "Junior Brother, what kind of praise would you like to hear?"

"For example, words like dashing, handsome, domineering, or other words are generally more pleasing to the ear than 'standing tall and upright'."

“I can’t say that, because it will remind me of you in Kyoto Prefecture and Mount Kenmine.”

"...I was indeed...young back then."

Ning Xue chuckled. "Young" was a bit of a euphemism; "childhood" would be more accurate.

Even Chen Yi himself laughed when he said those words.

He was indeed quite young back then.

But thinking about it carefully, it's only been sixteen years since his first birthday celebration.

As if on the same wavelength, Ning Xue suddenly asked, "Is it going to be Junior Brother's eighteenth birthday in a few months?"

Chen Yi was slightly taken aback, then a thought flashed through his mind, and he nodded with a smile: "That's right, in less than five months."

Ning Xue looked straight at him. "Will you be able to come back then?"

Chen Yi looked at the towering and majestic Tai Zhou Mountain, which seemed so close at hand. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Yes."

"Will!"

Ning Xue smiled and said, "Then, I'll arrange your birthday banquet."

She paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, Junior Sister Xue Ru should take the lead, and I'll just cooperate."

Chen Yi smiled but didn't say anything.

Besides his eighteenth birthday, I couldn't help but think about the upcoming trip to Taizhou Mountain.

Soon, the secret realm within the domain on Mount Taizhou will open, and he will enter the secret realm to explore it together with the people of Xunwangtian.

If all goes well, he will naturally be able to return to the human city.

Perhaps I'll have to go back to Tianyuan Continent after that.

After all, according to the traditions of the Wei Dynasty, he also had a coming-of-age ceremony when he turned eighteen. I reckon that his father, Chen Taiping, and mother, Xia Wanwan, were both looking forward to his arrival at that time.

Thinking about all this, Chen Yi said in a relaxed tone, "Birthdays are something that everyone should naturally get together to celebrate."

"Xue Ru doesn't understand these things, so we'll need Senior Sister's help to make arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Ning Xue felt as if a weight had been lifted from her heart, and her legs, which were outside the city wall, swayed involuntarily.

Like the girl next door, her movements were made in a relaxed and happy mood.

"Then it's settled."

"Ah."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, then chatted idly with Ning Xue.

From Kyoto Prefecture to Mount Kenpo, from Mount Kenpo to the battlefield of Mount Taishu, and now to the present and the future.

Most of the time, Chen Yi did the talking, while Ning Xue listened quietly.

Only occasionally would she chime in with a few words or add a few comments.

The atmosphere was harmonious and peaceful.

About a hundred miles away from the two, a group of hundreds of Taoist priests from the Qimen sect, who were carving talismans on the city wall, naturally saw them.

However, these people didn't dare to make jokes as freely as Li Qingzhou, Xiao Huang, and others.

They didn't dare to make jokes, let alone utter a single idle chatter.

They could only glance at it occasionally, then pretend to be busy discussing the precautions for inscribing the array runes.

……

In the end, Ning Xue gave up the idea of ​​returning to Tianyuan Continent with Chen Yi.

Perhaps it was because she sensed what Chen Yi was going to do after returning, or perhaps she felt that she should work hard with Zhan Hongxiu and Lü Cheng to reach the supernatural realm as soon as possible.

In any case, early the next morning, Chen Yi went to Sky City alone.

At this moment, the general's mansion, which had been ravaged by the great battle, had been renovated. In front of the brand-new red iron gate stood two rows of soldiers dressed in crimson armor.

Their energy and spirit were noticeably higher than before.

Even though everyone knows that the Demon Court no longer poses a threat to the human race, the soldiers here still dare not slack off.

Chen Yi glanced around and noticed that several elders were already waiting outside the ferry.

Behind him were several pillar-level powerful beings of the human race.

Chen Yi smiled and bowed: "Fellow Daoists, you've gathered here not just to see me off, have you?"

The White Mountain Ancestor smiled and returned the greeting, "I have been thinking about it and I feel bad about letting you return to the Tianyuan Continent. It is only natural that I came to visit you."

"As for why Mr. Cui and Old Man Hong came, I have no idea."

Hong Tian glanced at him and snorted, "I've been so bored in Renji City lately, why don't I come out for a stroll?"

To be fair, the sudden end of the war with the Demon Court did leave some people within the human race feeling somewhat disoriented.

It's not that they are inherently masochistic, but rather that apart from cultivation, they no longer have that sense of urgency that they used to feel, as if a knife were always hanging over their heads.

Just like Hong Tian, ​​who stayed in Renji City for a month and did basically nothing.

The soldiers' shifts were overseen by several generals and generals, while the cultivators' daily cultivation was managed by their respective sects and academies.

He wanted to offer some guidance, but because their cultivation methods and lineages differed, it was rare to find a suitable mentor.

You should know that Hong Tian is a body cultivator, and his cultivation method is known as the most arduous, bar none.

There are no shortcuts to body cultivation except for relentless, arduous training.

Therefore, Hong Tian's tone was somewhat annoyed at this moment.

As for the Second Master's visit, it was for the method of crossing the Netherworld River that Chen Yi wrote yesterday.

"Cui was thinking of taking some people to the other side of the Nether River after a while, and perhaps building a temporary base there."

Chen Yi nodded and said with a smile, "I'll go with you when I return from Tianyuan Continent."

Mr. Er wanted to go, and he supported him.

After all, there wasn't much time left before he reached the secret realm on Mount Taizhou. He wanted to finish things with the human race as soon as possible so he could extricate himself from the situation.

"That's good."

The second gentleman acted swiftly and decisively, then stepped aside as if watching a show.

Seeing this, the White Mountain Ancestor smiled and shook his head, "I don't have anything else to say, I just hope that after you return to Tianyuan Continent, you will sort out the situation over the Ten Thousand Mountains, so as to prevent them from having any more ideas."

Now that the situation on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield has become clear, the Wei Dynasty and the Demon Court of the Tianyuan Continent have also ceased their operations.

However, the White Mountain Ancestor was worried that after Chen Yi and the Second Master left, the Demon Court would not dare to target them on the surface, but would try to take action from the Tianyuan Continent.

With Chen Yi not around, it might be difficult for Tai Zhou Shan to go back and provide support.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi pondered for a moment, "Then I'll go and warn them a couple of times."

It's just a matter of making one trip.

With his current cultivation level and supernatural abilities, if he could unleash his full power on the Tianyuan Continent, slaughtering the Hundred Thousand Mountains would be an easy task.

Especially when powerful demon kings like the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor are not around, there are almost no enemies within the Hundred Thousand Mountains who can withstand a single blow from him.

With that thought in mind, Chen Yi did not linger there. He boarded the painted sailboat at the ferry and waved goodbye to the others.

See you in a few days.

The White Mountain Ancestor and the others smiled and nodded in greeting, then watched the ship sail down into the void below.

Wait until people leave.

Bai Shan, Hong Tian, ​​and the others exchanged glances, all feeling a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).

"After some time, Chen Yi and Mr. Cui will go to Mount Taizhou. It will be difficult for the human race to exert absolute suppression over the demon court. We should be more careful in the future."

Hong Tian understood his meaning, and the slight annoyance in his heart dissipated. He laughed loudly:
"They persevered for hundreds of years, and the situation was still incredibly difficult. How much more difficult would it be now?"

"Even if Chen Yi isn't in the city, would those demon courts still dare to come?"

The Old Ancestor of Baishan shook his head speechlessly, "Your mouth is truly..."

the other side.

Chen Yi could no longer hear the sounds behind him.

After the ship entered the passage, he felt a pressure and darkness similar to that he had experienced in the deep-sea passage.

However, this ferry crossing is a passage that the human race has cultivated for thousands of years, and its stability far exceeds that of the spring deep in the East Sea.

Given the special vessel he was on, he didn't sense any danger.

Keep going.

About two hours later, Chen Yi saw a light appear in the distance, and it grew stronger and stronger.

The next moment, the ship beneath them shook violently, as if it had planned something, and appeared outside a dock.

As Chen Yi's vision returned, his mind expanded instantly, directly encompassing the entire continent, a radius of 100,000 li.

However, he withdrew his mental perception after only a moment.

The area was too large, and the countless noisy sounds converging in his mind made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

At that moment, the rows of neatly lined-up soldiers on the ferry dock all saluted in unison upon seeing him:
"We pay our respects to Ancestor Chen Yi and Lord Tai'an!"

Chen Yi glanced around, then nodded with a smile, "No need for formalities, I... I'm just passing by."

Ancestors and such titles always imply maturity; the identity of Prince Tai'an is more suitable for navigating the Wei Dynasty.
