Returning from the Immortal World

“Daoist Li, you have already cultivated on Earth for a thousand years. Have you felt that there’s something abnormal on Earth? For example, many things that belonged to the Immortal World and the God Realm suddenly appeared on Earth.” Tang Xiu looked at the old lady and laughed. He only asked this after the old lady had calmed down.

“Now that Daoist Tang has mentioned it, that’s true. I have realized that many abnormal things happened. Although my power on Earth can be considered as top tier, there are still many places that I’m completely unable to see and do not dare to get near to either.” The old lady didn’t know what Tang Xiu was hinting at, so she just went along with it.

“What if I told you that Earth was not always like this, but it was once the God Realm. However, because of a great war, Earth has become what it is today. Would you believe me?”

“What? How’s that possible?” The old lady heard this and was completely shocked. She started to refute that claim, but she slowly fell into deep thought. After a while, she mumbled. “If Earth was really once the God Realm, then the things that happened to me in Shennong Ridge, Ghost King Valley back then can be explained.”

“Daoist Li, I have something quite unfair to ask of you. If you don’t mind, would you be able to stay on Earth and not ascend, while helping me to investigate all the abnormal places on Earth? If Daoist Li can provide me with valuable information, then I will naturally reward you abundantly for them.” After he heard that the old lady also knew of the things in Ghost King Valley, Tang Xiu’s eyes lit up.

After he received the old lady’s promise, Tang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Star City, Old River Street district, Shanty Area, Su Family Restaurant.

Even though it was still quite early in the morning, there was already a line of customers waiting for the restaurant to open.

After a few decades of city growth, Star City was already changed completely. The Old River Street district was already renovated and rebuilt. Only the Shanty Area and the Su Family Restaurant remained. At most, they just renovated the outer walls, which made this area a special venue in Star City.

“Do you guys reckon that Cheng Yannan would come and join Teacher Xia’s sixtieth birthday? She was once her favorite student, after all.”

“I heard that Su Xiangfei did invite Cheng Yannan. As for whether or not she would show up, that’s another story. After all, Magnificent Tang Corporation is such a big responsibility. Anything can happen at any moment.”

“I saw Cheng Yannan on the news yesterday and she looks just like a twenty-year-old lady. There were no marks of age on her face and she did not look like a forty-year-old at all! She looked just like a fairy.”

…

Cheng Yannan was a hot topic at that time.

Although Cheng Yannan did awaken special abilities, her cultivation aptitude was average, so she couldn’t keep up with the cultivation speed of the Tang Sect’s members. Even then, Tang Xiu was willing to take her with him when he ascended to the Immortal World, but she refused him tactfully.

The reason for her refusal was simple. The Magnificent Tang Corporation was too big. Long Zhengyu might not have been able to handle it if she left. Furthermore, even if she did ascend to the Immortal World, she wouldn’t be of much help anyway. Therefore, it was better for her to stay on Earth and take care of the Magnificent Tang Corporation in Tang Xiu’s stead.

Since Tang Xiu and Cheng Xuemei failed to persuade her, they could only allow Cheng Yannan to have her way and stay on Earth. At the same time, they gave all the responsibilities of the Magnificent Tang Corporation to Cheng Yannan. As for Long Zhengyu, he was left in charge of Nine Dragons Island and the other businesses. However, he was now able to put more time and effort into cultivating.

South Gate Town, Villa Number 9.

Before leaving Earth, Tang Xiu had given his house to Cheng Yannan to take care of. Cheng Yannan did not make any changes and moved in right away.

“President Cheng, Mr. Xia Mingjie’s birthday party begins at 12:10 pm officially. Would you like to go there before it begins? Or would you like to wait until the party has already officially begun to go?” Her beautiful secretary, Dai Mi, asked her gently as she brushed and styled Cheng Yannan’s hair.

“Let me have a look at the list of attendees.” Cheng Yannan did not answer Dai Mi’s question, but instead, asked her to do something.
