When I woke up, I wanted to go home.

Chapter 309 The Void Appears Again

Just as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, he reappeared at the foot of Flaming Mountain with Xiao Jin.

Looking at the towering sacred mountain of the gunpowder empire, Zhu Chongjiu couldn't help but recall the events of that year.

At that time, I was still weak, and with the equally weak Xiao Hei, I ventured alone into this hill, unaware of the dangers.

Correct!

To Zhu Chongjiu, who has seen the world, the sacred mountain of the gunpowder empire at this moment can only be considered a hill.

After a moment of recollection, Zhu Chongjiu smiled calmly and disappeared from the spot once again with Xiao Jin.

"Void, your old friend has arrived! Come out and greet him!"

"Holy shit!

Where the hell have you been?

I thought you'd died.

"Oh dear, oh dear."

What's wrong with you? You're cursing me to die the moment we meet?

I'm here to rescue you, after all.

Since that's your attitude, then I'm leaving heartbroken!

After saying that, Zhu Chongjiu made a move to leave.

No!

I apologize for my rudeness, elder brother.

"I was just being overly concerned, brother, please take a seat."

The void that had already appeared before Zhu Chongjiu and Xiao Jin conjured up two exquisite chairs out of thin air, and they stepped forward to help Zhu Chongjiu sit down.

As a proper younger brother, once the older brother takes his seat, he naturally has to do the work of massaging his legs and shoulders.

But Xu Kong didn't forget to ask Zhu Chongjiu about his whereabouts and experiences over the years.

This time, Zhu Chongjiu didn't tease Xu Kong, but simply talked about what had happened in the years since they separated.

Even in its simplest form, it took a whole day and night to talk about it.

Zhu Chongjiu knew that Xiao Jin had something to say to him, so he skipped over some unimportant parts.

Otherwise, given his personality, it wouldn't be a problem for him to talk for a month or two.

Amidst gasps of surprise from the void, Zhu Chongjiu finished recounting his story and quickly addressed the void:

"I know Brother Xukong loves to hear stories."

That's why I specially called my brother over to tell him about what happened in the primordial universe during the two thousand years I was in seclusion.

but……!"

"Give it, I'll give it."

Before Zhu Chongjiu could finish speaking, Xukong replied, "Zhu Chongjiu."

After saying that, two seeds of the Void Law slowly floated out from between his brows in the void.

After separating its own Law Seed, the void, its face turning deathly pale, said:

“I’m afraid that you’ve encountered danger in the outside world over the years and will come back to ask me for help.”

But I am still deeply entrenched in this place, so since I gave you the seeds of law last time, I have saved some more for you.

I was hoping that one day you would come to me, and I could be of some help.

Over the past five thousand years, three seeds of laws have been stored within them.

But since you're doing better than me now, I'll give you two.

Three of them really took a toll on me.

Looking at the two seeds of the Void Law floating before him and listening to the words spoken from the void, Zhu Chongjiu's heart was in turmoil.

Some friends, even if you spend your whole life with them, can only ever be fair-weather friends.

Some people, even if they've only met a few times and exchanged a few words, become brothers for life.

"Why?

"Hey Ninth Brother, you weren't crying, were you?"

Upon seeing Zhu Chongjiu, whose eyes were already red-rimmed, Xu Kong cheekily leaned close to his face and said something.

Interrupted from his sorrow by the void, Zhu Chongjiu turned around quickly, even faster than when dodging an attack from a Celestial Venerable.

After using magic to suddenly dry his still wet eyes, he angrily said:

"Void, I think you don't want to hear the story, and you don't want to leave?"

Realizing he had misspoke, Xu Kong quickly squeezed out two tears and said to Zhu Chongjiu:

"Ninth Brother, where did that evil wind come from just now?"

It got in my eyes, and it made my eyes water.

Did you feel it?

"Indeed, you also know how things are done here."

It's pitch black, and to make matters worse, the wind is blowing too! Be careful next time!

"Yes Yes!"

Standing to the side, Xiao Jin was completely bewildered by the two brothers' antics.

After the awkward silence, Zhu Chongjiu looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Jin in Western clothes and angrily said, "What are you doing? Start your speech now!"

"oh oh!"

Once Xiao Jin realized what was happening, he quickly responded twice and then began to recount the events that had occurred in the Yuan Universe over the past two thousand years since Zhu Chongjiu went into seclusion.

During this time, Zhu Chongjiu even took out a tea set from his storage ring.

The tea they drank was the same tea they got from the God of Deception back then.

If it weren't for the special properties of the storage room, these tea leaves would probably be ashes by now.

Before Zhu Chongjiu returned from the ancient god ruins continent, Xiao Jin and his friends, led by Xiao Hei, had visited the Flaming Mountain several times.

He also knew about Void and Ninth Brother's affair.

Through his conversation with Ninth Brother and what he did to Ninth Brother, Xiao Jin was able to recount the events of the past two thousand years in more detail.

Aside from some top-secret details within the Peace Chamber of Commerce, everything else was covered in great detail.

"Hey, I went to Lao Jiu, but I didn't recognize him."

You've really made something of yourself now.

Some of the things you just told me, I thought you were just bragging.

Now, after hearing what Xiao Jin said, I realized how incredibly awesome you are.

No, how did you become a Heavenly General level, capable of slaughtering millions of immortals with just a single innate supreme treasure weapon?

Leaving aside the fact that so many immortal armies were wiped out, how did those hundreds of immortal lords die?

When you told me that, I thought you were just bragging, so I just laughed it off and didn't listen carefully.

Quickly, say it to me again now.

This is practically a fairy tale.

Once we get back to the tribe, won't we have something to brag about?

What do you mean I was suppressed by a mysterious person? I just went off to explore the world with my best buddies.

Do you know Ninth Brother of the Ancient God Alliance?

What he did deserves some of my credit.

"Look, now that I've said that, won't those brats be kneeling down and begging to see me?"

Zhu Chongjiu looked at the void as he spoke and fantasized about how lofty and magnificent he was, and suddenly thought of something.

"Alas, emptiness."

During my recent adventure to the Ancient God Ruins Continent, I encountered many different races from the Primordial Universe.

"I've even seen the five major races within the Azure God Realm, so why haven't I seen any of your Void Beast race members?"

Still lost in his fantasy, Void was interrupted by Zhu Chongjiu's words and casually replied, "Our race will not participate in that Ancient God Ruins Continent."

That kind of place doesn't welcome us.

After saying that, Void continued to daydream.

Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu said helplessly to the void, "Void, you're only thinking about how to brag when you get back. Have you ever thought that the Immortal Clan can't find me now, but they're looking for someone related to me?"

If you go back and tell me this, won't it just expose the fact that you and I have a very close relationship?

The immortals will definitely take their anger out on you then.

"What, isn't your race afraid of the Immortals?"

Hearing Zhu Chongjiu say this, Xukong finally calmed down a bit from his fantasy.

"If I had to say I'm afraid, I am a little afraid."

After all, the combat power of those giants of the Immortal Clan is not to be underestimated.

But it won't be so easy for them to capture us.

"By the way, Void, where exactly does your race live?"

I've been to quite a few places in the metaverse and met quite a few people, but I've never heard anyone mention your race.

Also, what did you mean by saying that the ancient god ruins continent doesn't welcome you?

"Well, I don't know exactly why that continent doesn't welcome our race."

I heard it from my ancestors.

Whether they welcome us or not is none of my business.

As for where our clan lives?

That's really hard to say.

Because our habitat is not fixed.

Because we spend most of our time traveling within the cosmic clouds at the edge of the universe.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu did not ask any further questions.

He did not feel that the Void Beast race living on the edge of the universe had any special significance.

After chatting for a while, the three of them had already gone through five days since Zhu Chongjiu arrived.

"Alright, shall I see you off, or will you go by yourself?"

Seeing that there was nothing left to talk about, Zhu Chongjiu spoke to the void.

"What's the meaning?

Will you see me off, or will I leave on my own?

Am I able to leave?

As he spoke, Void stood up excitedly and reached out to pull the law chains binding his waist.

To Void's surprise, when he turned around to reach for it, he found nothing.

After several attempts to grab something failed, the humanoid void that had been in place suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the entire sacred mountain began to tremble.

"Damn it, Xiao Jin and I haven't even left yet!"
