Medical Sage

Afterward, Melsdom and Mardo left the top-tier presidential suite.

Once they had both left, a ripple stirred in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. Zhen Jingkong’s voice sounded out, speaking slowly, ”How long do you plan to stay here?”

”How long? What do you mean by that?” Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, blinked slightly before replying with a blank expression.

”Of course, I don’t mean anything by it,” Zhen Jingkong’s voice echoed again with a pointed tone. ”I just feel that continuing to dawdle like this is a waste of time.”

”This so-called Earth is far too small compared to the vast Cultivation World! It’s also too barren. If I hadn’t been fleeing for my life and suffering from heavy injuries, I never would have come to such a broken place.”

”But this broken place saved your life, didn’t it?”

Chen Fei replied nonchalantly, then fell silent. After a long pause, he spoke again with hesitation and reluctance, ”I understand what you’re trying to say. I’ve actually wanted to see that other world for a long time myself. But what about my mother? And my master? I can’t just abandon them and go to the Cultivation World alone, can I?”

This was his true dilemma. Otherwise, he probably would have already gone to the Cultivation World.

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Zhen Jingkong grew silent within the sea of consciousness. After a short pause, he slowly said, ”I actually don’t think the two are mutually exclusive.”

”Not mutually exclusive? Why?” Chen Fei asked, startled and frowning.

”You’re just going to the Cultivation World to explore, not leaving forever... Besides, as long as you can become a Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Expert there, or even just seize control of the entrance to this small world, traveling back and forth would be easy, wouldn’t it?”

As he spoke, Zhen Jingkong paused for a moment before continuing, ”Also, don’t you find something very strange? Earth has never been occupied by those from above. Instead, it has somehow been allowed to follow its own path of development to its present state... Yet, any random Foundation Establishment True Person from the Cultivation World could descend and completely sweep away all of this planet’s top martial forces! And that’s not to mention the even more terrifying existences beyond the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm... Do you understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei’s expression changed dramatically. He couldn’t help but blurt out, ”Why? Why is that?” He knew Zhen Jingkong wasn’t joking. A Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Expert truly was invincible on Earth and could dominate it completely.

”For three reasons.”

Zhen Jingkong’s voice continued from within Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness. ”First, this small world called Earth is simply too barren. It’s difficult to find even the slightest resources suitable for cultivation. Therefore, those from above are unwilling to go through the trouble.

”Second, because of what you call technology... I must admit, although those things are inanimate objects, they can indeed threaten the vast majority of Foundation Establishment True Persons. There’s a risk of mutual destruction...”

He paused abruptly. When he spoke again, his tone was filled with a mix of awe and reverence. ”The third and, in my opinion, most important reason is a person who once came from your Earth. If not for something he said back then, this broken place of yours would have been conquered long ago by those wolf-like minor powers from above! It never would have enjoyed its freedom to this day.”

”A person who came from our Earth?” Chen Fei asked, startled. He didn’t quite understand what Zhen Jingkong meant.

”Yes.” A sigh came from Zhen Jingkong. After a long silence, his voice took on a tone of deep respect. ”That great figure who left your Earth... it has been more than two thousand years, hasn’t it? Did you know that he is still alive? Not only that, he has become a supreme and terrifying hegemon in the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom! His fearsome reputation shakes the world.”

More than two thousand years? And he’s still alive?

Chen Fei’s expression twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn’t help but swallow. He twisted his neck, producing a faint cracking sound. His face was stiff as he asked, ”Who is this person you’re talking about? Lived for two thousand years... Is he really from our Earth?”

It was no wonder Young Master Chen was so shocked. After all, someone living for over two thousand years, especially one who came from Earth, was no joke.

”Of course. Otherwise, no matter how barren a small world is, it would never be left alone like this. That would be a complete waste of heaven’s gifts,” Zhen Jingkong spoke with absolute certainty, his voice even trembling slightly as he continued, ”As for who he is... He is the one who stepped into the Primordial Core True Lord realm over a thousand years ago. In his battle for fame, he took the head of a Primordial Core True Lord ancestor from a great, ancient sect in the Inner Domain of the Ancient Country as his trophy, shocking the world. Now, he has even stepped beyond the borders of the Qiannan Ancient Kingdom. He is the Lord of the House of Ying, whose fearsome reputation makes the entire Vast Cultivation World tremble!”

”He is First Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng!”

”First... First Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng?!” When Chen Fei heard the all-too-familiar name, he was instantly stunned.

This name was not only familiar to him but likely to every son and daughter of Huaxia, and even to people around the world.

That was the man who, in the history of Huaxia, first unified the Eight Desolations and swept across the Six Harmonies, completing a heaven-defying unification! He was also the first person in history, foreign or domestic, who dared to call himself Emperor—a title he truly deserved, his terrifying authority never questioned by anyone. To think he actually went to the Cultivation World, became such a terrifying figure, and is still alive...

But if it was him, then achieving all this really did seem possible. As the man who became Earth’s first ’First Emperor,’ how could First Emperor Qin, Ying Zheng, not be a heaven-defying genius who outshone entire historical eras? Such a formidable character might have been limited by his origins on Earth, the lower stature of a small world restricting the heights he could reach. However, once a peerless talent like that steps into a higher world, once he crosses the threshold into the boundless Cultivation World, a fundamental change occurs. As long as such a person adapts and doesn’t fall along the way, his future is inevitable. He would be like a tiger entering the deep mountains or a dragon returning to the sea. Even in that vast world filled with powerhouses, overlords, and giants, he would shine with a dazzling, unforgettable light! And this First Emperor, Ying Zheng, was clearly such a person. The achievements he had now completely proved that point. A hero is always a hero. Nothing can change that. This was the true First Emperor Qin, the one who unified the Eight Desolations and swept across all realms, the one known as invincible!

To think he has already reached such a height... stepping out from an Ancient Kingdom, his fearsome name resounding throughout the vast Cultivation World... Just imagining such achievements is enough to make one’s blood boil with excitement!

At that moment, Young Master Chen could no longer suppress the turbulent, fiery light flickering in his eyes. It was as if a restless heart was slowly being stirred.

Then, a wild, audacious idea began to surge within him. What if, in the future, I, Chen Fei, could reach the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, stand immortal through the ages, and meet the still-living First Emperor? What kind of scene would it be to meet him face-to-face, crossing the long river of history and time... king to king? Perhaps... that would be truly, incredibly thrilling, wouldn’t it?

Chen Fei couldn’t help but lick his lips, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
