Chapter 154 Return to Earth, the Wanderer Returns Home

"Our ancestors really took great pains to protect the earth."

Chai Xin sighed a little, saying that it was because of those admirable predecessors that the earth could remain stable to this day.

Of course, the Earth is special enough. It is just a planet, but it has given birth to countless powerful people.

He did not continue to embarrass the mirage beast, as the innate Bagua diagram engraved in the other's blood had already explained everything.

Squeezing a drop of blood from his fingertips, he raised his head and asked, "What should we do next?"

"Put your blood into the Bagua map, and it will naturally be checked clearly."

Seeing that he cooperated, the mirage beast seemed relieved.

Chai Xin threw out the drop of blood, and in an instant it fell into the Xiantian Bagua diagram on his back.

In an instant, the Xiantian Bagua diagram shone brightly, and the many lines on it moved rapidly.

"Buzz!"

Finally, a golden light shot out from the Xiantian Bagua diagram, shining on the sky above the ancient star, and a deep passage suddenly emerged.

"Your bloodline has passed the inspection, and the passage to Hangu Pass has been opened. Please go quickly!"

The mirage beast seemed to be under a lot of pressure, and opening this channel obviously took a lot of effort on him.

"Thank you very much!"

In fact, there was no need for him to remind him, Chai Xin had already soared up without hesitation and rushed into the space channel.

“I never thought there are descendants of Shenzhou wandering outside the region, and their cultivation is so strong…”

Mirage looked at Chai Xin's disappearing back and couldn't help but sigh.

Shenzhou is one of the many ancient names of the earth, and there are many similar names.

This time the passage was completely different from the previous one. There was no teleportation process. Chai Xin came directly to a foggy space.

The place was filled with black fog, corpses were scattered all around, and countless green ghost lights were constantly flashing, giving it an eerie feeling.

Obviously, this is the legendary ancient battlefield where the ancestors of the earth killed countless fierce races from outside the domain.

Of course, countless ancestors also fell here, shedding their bones and blood.

On the distant horizon, there is a mountain range, and between the mountains stands an extremely majestic and huge city, which is the Hangu Pass in ancient legends!

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, black fog surged around, and a ball of green ghost fire approached rapidly. Faintly, there seemed to be an evil ghost rushing towards them with fangs and claws bared. Apart from two lantern-like blood-red eyes, it had no other facial features and looked hideous and terrifying.

"Half step to great power!"

Chai Xin was a little shocked. It was just a random evil ghost, but it had such strength.

And here, there are countless similar will-o'-the-wisp fires, and in the distance there are even some will-o'-the-wisp fires as big as millstones, which are obviously much more powerful.

Even though he was extremely confident, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he saw the huge number of ghosts around him.

He did not dare to stay and slapped the evil spirit that was rushing towards him into nothingness with a palm. Then his body transformed into a purple-gold dragon and flew towards the huge city in front.

"Who is coming!"

When Chai Xin was only a hundred meters away from the city wall, a shocking shout was heard, and the city was suddenly filled with demonic energy that obscured the entire void.

This is a powerful monster, definitely a figure at the pinnacle of the way of killing, with magical powers as vast as the sea, shocking and astonishing.

"Senior, I am a human from Earth. I was stranded in the outer space and have just returned after going through many hardships. Please let me go!"

Chai Xin vaguely guessed the identity of this great demon, which was described in the original book.

"I am ordered by Guan Yinzi to guard Hangu Pass. No one is allowed to pass!" The big monster stood on the top of the city wall. He was obviously shocked when he heard Chai Xin's words, but he did not let anyone pass.

Chai Xin frowned when he saw this. This guy was indeed the big monster guarding Hangu Pass in the original book, named Xuan Chi.

The Guan Yinzi he mentioned was the commander of Hangu Pass in the pre-Qin period. Later, he became a disciple of Laozi who went west through Hangu Pass. Eventually, he was revered as Wenshi Zhenren by Taoism. He had a very high status and wrote the Wenshi Zhenjing. He was extremely powerful and was a great sage.

"Senior, I was one of the people who were taken away by the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin on the top of Mount Tai about ten years ago! I finally returned to my hometown, why did you refuse to let me in?"

Chai Xin spoke again and introduced his origins in more detail.

Sure enough, upon hearing that he was the person who was taken away by the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin that year, Xuan Chi's indifferent face immediately showed a fluctuation. His eyes flashed with divine light and stared at Chai Xin's face intently.

After a moment, he said in amazement: "In just ten years, your cultivation has reached such a level!"

Sure enough, although the matter of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin was suppressed by the top leaders back then, for someone like Xuan Chi, it would be extremely easy to get the information of the missing people back then.

He recognized Chai Xin.

"Senior, please let me in. I have missed my homeland for a long time!"

Chai Xin said sincerely.

It’s not that he is cowardly and doesn’t dare to fight Xuan Chi, but he is well aware of the power of Hangu Pass.

This place is not as simple as it looks on the outside. There are countless powerful magic arrays inside, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand the attacks of so many powerful aliens.

Xuan Chi was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Well, this barrier is to block foreign races. Since you are a local cultivator, you can enter naturally."

As he finished speaking, a purple light suddenly shone out from the huge ancient city and hit Chai Xin, but did not cause any harm, instead pulled him over.

"Thank you, senior! I'm finally back..."

Chai Xin was filled with emotion; this return was something he had never expected.

"Don't blame me for being harsh just now. Although you have passed the examination of the mirage beast, you must have Earth blood. However, I am worried that you are a mixed-blood born outside. If you don't feel a sense of belonging, it is likely to bring disaster."

Xuan Chi's words were a little obscure, but Chai Xin understood them.

There are still more or less Earth bloodlines scattered outside the domain, but they may not necessarily still be loyal to the Earth.

Just like the descendants of some overseas immigrants, although they have Chinese blood flowing in their veins, they may not necessarily consider themselves to be descendants of Yan and Huang.

If we are instigated by the enemy to rebel, it is likely to cause endless harm.

"Senior, you are dedicated to the earth. I admire you so much that I would never feel resentful against you." Chai Xin clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his gratitude again.

Xuan Chi nodded slightly and asked in confusion: "Back then, the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin away more than a dozen people, why did only you return?"

Chai Xin smiled bitterly and said, "The outer world is so dangerous. I'm sure you know it well without me telling you. Many people died before they could grow up because of the cruel struggle among cultivators. I was able to come back, not only because of my own strength, but also because of many coincidences..."

Chai Xin simply recounted his experiences, omitting many key secrets, but Xuan Chi was still fascinated and looked amazed.

"Although I have lived for thousands of years, the wonderful experiences I have had are not even one tenth of what you have had in the past ten years..."

Xuan Chi was silent for a long time before he shook his head and sighed.

"Senior, how can I return to Earth? I have been away from home for many years and I can't wait any longer!"

Chai Xin made no secret of his homesickness.

Xuan Chi smiled and said, "Let me take you out."

He did not give too many instructions. Since Chai Xin was a native human on Earth, it was not within his scope of responsibility. His responsibility was to guard Hangu Pass, resist the danger of foreign races, and also prevent those who were not strong enough from stepping onto the ancient starry sky road to die.

However, there is no reason to prevent native Earthlings who have ventured abroad from returning home.

"Grateful!"

Chai Xin looked a little excited.

Xuan Chi waved his hand again, and another beam of purple light descended, hitting Chai Xin and sending him in the opposite direction from when he came.

"Take care, senior. Goodbye!"

There was a flash of light before his eyes, and when Chai Xin regained his sight, he had already appeared above a group of towering mountains.

"where is this place?"

He immediately spread out his spiritual thoughts, and immediately familiar pictures appeared in his mind.

The area of ​​nearly a thousand miles is all plateau. Antelopes and yaks are running on the snow-capped mountains, and eagles fly across the sky from time to time.

Occasionally, he could see some herdsmen driving cattle and sheep. On the asphalt highway, the long-lost sounds of car engines and horns made him couldn't help but roar to the sky.

"Earth! I'm back!"

The high-pitched voice swept across the sky and earth, startling countless birds. Chai Xin had already realized where he was and flew eastward with a loud laugh.

He passed through the snowy area and went down the Yangtze River. The thousands of miles passed quickly.

The modern people and buildings, as well as various cars and ships he encountered along the way, made his calm heart beat faster. This was the excitement and emotion of a wanderer returning home.

At this moment, nothing had to do with interests or ideals, only pure joy lingered in Chai Xin's mind.

His hometown is in the Yangtze River Delta region, a small town near the river.

Although he no longer had any close relatives, he still instinctively returned here as soon as possible.

Walking through his former elementary and middle schools, the familiar streets brought tears to his eyes unconsciously. Although he was dressed in strange clothes and walked so arrogantly on the streets, no one could see him.

This is the power of Yuantian's secret technique, and it is also the reason why his cultivation is so powerful.

When he returned to his old home in the village, it was already in ruins.

The weeds in the yard have grown to be almost as tall as a person, but the calligraphy written in childhood and the messy graffiti on the wall next to the door are still there.

"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma whom I have never met, I am here to see you..."

Finally, he came to four earthen graves, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be stopped and flowed out like springs.

Compared to the messy old house, the four earthen graves are relatively neat and tidy, obviously someone has taken care of them.

There were still some residual ashes and unburned paper money in front of the grave.

Chai Xin's grandfather had two daughters, who were his aunts, but they both married and moved to the neighboring city. I think they or their children would come here once a year.

"Tell me about yourselves, how unfortunate you are, not to mention longevity. If you live a few more years, wouldn't you be able to live forever with me?"

Chai Xin leaned against his grandfather's grave, chattering like he was chatting about family matters, but tears couldn't stop streaming down his cheeks.

"It's nothing, actually. When I become a master in the future, I will definitely reverse time and space and change your fate..."

This situation was beyond his imagination.

He originally thought that he had already been alone and adapted to this state. In addition, he had experienced countless battles in the world of monks, so his heart should have been as solid as a rock.

Even if you return to your hometown, you should not be so sad, but should work tirelessly to seek various opportunities.

However, when all this really happened, he realized that some memories had never faded away, but were just suppressed deep in his heart, and he usually didn't dare to turn them over.

If the powerful enemies in the Big Dipper Star Region saw him in this state, they would certainly not believe that this was the famous Demon King Chai.

After sitting in front of the grave for three days, Chai Xin finally calmed down.

He said goodbye to his four closest relatives and did what had to be done.

He did not intend to disturb the lives of his two aunts, because their relationship back then was neither cold nor close, so it was actually a good thing for them to forget each other.

Not long after, City B.

This is Ye Fan’s hometown. In the few years after graduation, Chai Xin came here several times, visited his home and visited his parents.

In the original novel, when Ye Fan returned to Earth, it was more than 20 years after the Nine Dragons pulled the coffin away, and his parents had also passed away.

Now that Chai Xin, as his brother, has returned to Earth, it is impossible for him to turn a blind eye to all this.

Ten years have passed, and City B is no longer like the small town where Chai Xin came from. The changes here have been extremely great.

Although he had been here several times, due to road changes and urban development, Chai Xin still took some effort to find Ye Fan's home.

This is a common residential area. Chai Xin walked to the third floor and knocked on the door with mixed feelings.

He had already changed into a modern outfit, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, beige casual pants, and a pair of brown sneakers, looking full of energy.

"Here you are, is that Xiao Xu?"

A weak, old male voice came from the room, and then the door slowly opened.

"What's up, young man?"

The person who opened the door was an old man with silver hair, dim eyes and an indelible melancholy in his expression.

The old man's eyes were originally careless and almost unfocused, but after seeing Chai Xin's face clearly, his wrinkled cheeks suddenly began to tremble.

"You...you are..."

"Uncle, do you still recognize me?"

Ye Fan had a complicated expression. The old man in front of him was actually only in his early sixties, but he looked like he was over seventy years old, or even older.

"It's you! Xiaoxin! You are Xiaoxin, right? I remember you! Old woman, come here quickly, come out!"

The old man seemed very shocked, his whole body was shaking, and an unprecedented look appeared in his dull eyes.

"Hey, who is it? Is it Xiao Xu again? Xiao Xu, you are busy with work and have a family to take care of. You don't need to be so troublesome and come here all the time..."

Then, an equally old grandmother walked out of the room, holding a photo album in her hand and seemed to be flipping through it.

But the moment she saw Chai Xin, the album in her hand fell to the ground, and mist quickly appeared in her vicissitudes of life eyes: "Xiao Xin! You you..."

Chai Xin was worried that the two old men were too excited and might have an accident, so he quickly used his divine power to help them calm down.

"Uncle and aunt, I'm Chai Xin! Don't get excited, I will tell you everything bit by bit..."

"Over the years, we have traveled all over the place and visited the homes of all your classmates..."

After listening to the two old people's stories, Chai Xin understood why they could recognize him immediately after so many years.

They have teamed up with the parents of all the missing students and tried every possible way to find them.

Families helped each other and collected photos of each other's children. Although Chai Xin's close relatives were no longer around, he still had two aunts who had photos of him.
