Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

When Shen Yuan opened the door to his cultivation chamber, warm sunlight from the outside world finally pierced through the door and illuminated the room within.

In contrast to the Frosty Yin Qi enveloped atmosphere from two days ago caused by the Candle Dragon Immortal Sword, the entire residence had already returned to normal, with no forseable danger of further erosion by Frosty Yin Qi.

This phenomenon reminded Shen Yuan of when his former sword servant controlled the Darkness-Light Sword and manipulated the Candle Dragon Inscription on the sword grid to inhale and exhale Frosty Yin Qi.

Although he inherited the Darkness-Light Sword, Shen Yuan had not mastered similar characteristics.

Upon serious meditation, Shen Yuan was able to make peace with this fact: the sword servant had studied the Darkness-Light Sword for decades, even to the point of sacrificing his own life for it. It was perfectly normal for him to have unique skills.

Having divine skills shouldn’t lead one to underestimate the world.

As soon as Shen Yuan opened the door of the meditation chamber, Fu Hua, who had been waiting vigilantly before the door, was shocked awake.

After the chaos two days ago, Fu Hua, as the one in the Fu Family who had the most contact with Shen Yuan apart from Old Master Fu, was naturally assigned to wait for Shen Yuan’s exit from retreat.

Old Master Fu consequently used the opportunity to inform Fu Hua about the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, Cultivators, and other related matters.

Fu Hua waited diligently for two days. During these two days, Shen Yuan did not reach out to the outside world, so Fu Hua had the household servants prepare meals at all times.

He even had servants attend to Shen Yuan’s black and white kitten left at home around the clock.

If one could say that Fu Hua’s pleasing demeanor towards Shen Yuan two days ago was somewhat politically motivated, it was now absolutely heartfelt respect.

The inscrutable but strong powers of Shen Yuan not only saved Old Master Fu but also the entire Fu family.

If the true perpetrator had succeeded, the Fu family would definitely have fallen into his hands. These so-called heirs may very well have been silenced one by one.

Only an idiot like his younger brother would foolishly believe this mysterious perpetrator actually wanted to make him the successor.

Certainly, Fu Hua held a secret suspicion deep within his heart that he hadn’t shared even with Old Master Fu. He suspected that Shen Yuan was not from their time.

Despite this suspicion seeming unfounded, Fu Hua had his reasons.

Otherwise how could a young man in his twenties like Shen Yuan create such an impact?

He had intentionally investigated Shen Yuan’s background through various connections, Shen Yuan’s family was merely a small merchant in Wenn City, nowhere near the status of the Fu Family.

A shallow pool might give birth to a flood dragon, but no true dragon could ever emerge from there!

Fu Hua’s fleeting thoughts disappeared in an instant. Subsequently, he promptly put up a smile to greet Shen Yuan.

Secluded for two days in the cultivation chamber without food or water, Shen Yuan’s vitality still remained at its peak.

A sharp characteristic, previously absent, was faintly discernible on Shen Yuan.

Feeling deep admiration, Fu Hua greeted with a broad grin.

“Teacher Shen, your retreat for two days seems to have resulted in manifold gains. We have prepared meals at home for you, would you like to dine?”

Shen Yuan brushed his hand casually.

“There’s no need for a meal. How is Old Master Fu’s health these past two days?”

Mentioning Old Master Fu stirred something within Fu Hua.

“Two days ago, my father was sent to Wenn City Central Hospital for treatment. During the treatment, the doctors unanimously proclaimed that his physical condition is surprisingly good and doesn’t resemble that of someone injured.

He should have been discharged the same day, but suddenly, an official from the Great Xia’s Imperial Court wanted to visit my father and even offered better treatment.”

When Shen Yuan heard the Imperial court was intervening, he raised an eyebrow. Though he soon identified that it wasn’t a problem for the Great Xia’s Imperial Court to be aware of the situation.

Old Master Fu himself was a genius, stepping into the Martial Arts Qi Gathering Realm during the Spirit Energy depletion era, and establishing the vast cornerstone of the Fu Family.

If Old Master Fu did not step into cultivation realm due to aging and physical deterioration, he would at best be a common man with some strength.

However, once he becomes a cultivator, it is almost certain that he will become a Great Cultivator who reaches the Refining Qi to Spirit Transmutation Stage.

In the current climate of the imminent storm in Great Xia, Old Master Fu is definitely a stock with potential. It’s entirely normal to keep an eye on him and invest.

But the only thing that Shen Yuan was worried about was whether the official attention on Old Master Fu would implicated himself.

If the authorities connected him with his return from the Cloud Mist Mountain Range a few days ago, it might lead to some unpleasant speculations.

Having been in business for many years, Fu Hua immediately realized that Shen Yuan had some reservations after seeing his expression and quickly reassured with a smile:

“Rest assured, Teacher Shen. My father has specifically instructed everyone not to leak any news about you. And he himself will certainly keep your secret.

This time, the person coming from Great Xia’s Imperial Court is from the provincial government. My father has deep ties with the Lord Governor, and they are willing to show him this respect.”

Since Fu Hua made such a statement, Shen Yuan nodded without bringing the issue further.

If the Fu Family, with its power and influence, could not hide even this small detail, it would not even merit managing this grand enterprise.

As they leisurely left the second floor, Fu Hua intentionally engaged in conversation, introducing Shen Yuan to some events that occurred during his two-day isolation.

For example, the elites of Great Xia gradually started to lift the ban on information concerning cultivators for the general populace. Countless mythical TV shows and web dramas about cultivation were announced for production online. And various folklore and mythology forums also started spreading knowledge about cultivators in silence.

It seemed that the upper echelons of Great Xia were preparing to use this method to gradually accustom the public to the existence of cultivators.

The previously sealed Cloud Mist Mountain Range was also announced to be reopening recently.

Many Daoist temples and Buddhist monasteries in the famous mountains and rivers of Great Xia have reopened, and they announced to the public to recruit external disciples.

Compared to these heavyweight pieces of information, the rare earthquake that occurred on Mount Lang Huan in Yeang Province didn’t seem that noticeable.

Being a family that has already made its way into the upper echelons of Great Xia society, the Fu Family had access to far more information than Shen Yuan currently did. After some exchanges, Shen Yuan felt that he had gained a lot, and his impression of Fu Hua had significantly improved.

Fu Hua had clearly put in a lot of effort to gather this important information.

After briefing the trends of Imperial Court and some important information of the past two days, Fu Hua added in a lower tone.

“The return of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has lasted for several months, but the Imperial Court’s intention to suppress the news is clear.

However, in the past few days, not only has the Imperial Court lifted the ban on cultivation information, but they have also actively promoted it, trying to integrate the existence of cultivators into everyday life.

In my humble opinion, the quick change in the Imperial Court’s decisions means that some circumstances may have exceeded their control.

They are unable to control everything and can only muddy the waters for their benefit. For three thousand years, they’ve accumulated influence among the populace to achieve their goals.”

“There may be a risk of the entire Great Xia’s Imperial Court collapsing!”

Shen Yuan paused slightly, casting a sidelong glance at the tense Fu Hua.

Fu Hua’s meaning was clear. Great Xia’s situation was unstable, and he wanted to find a backer for the Fu Family to survive the current crisis. His current stance showed that Shen Yuan was the one he wanted to rely on.

But Fu Hua had miscalculated. Shen Yuan never wanted to get involved in this tumultuous situation. His sole goal was to protect himself and attain the Eternal Life Dao.

Everything else was trivial.

With the Darkness-Light Sword in hand, Shen Yuan calmly walked away, leaving only a placid sentence echoing in Fu Hua’s ears.

“What does the destruction have to do with me?”
