Chapter 1223 1183: Return to the Cultivation World Again

After Chen Fei concluded everything within the Secret Realm, the remaining time was completely spent accompanying his mother Lin Ling and Apel. They traveled around, enjoying themselves, taking photos for memories... Although Chen Fei didn't mention that he should soon leave Earth again and return to the Cultivation World, who knows a child better than a mother? How could Lin Ling not understand why her son's unusual company was happening?

So, one night about halfway through the month, after Chen Fei just planned the next travel itinerary near the Northern Mountain Family, Lin Ling seemed to guess something and forcefully dragged Chen Fei out of the hotel room.

"You brat, let me ask you, are you hiding something from me?" Bringing Chen Fei to the top floor of the hotel and facing the cold wind blowing at night, Lin Ling asked.

"Ah, no, no... I don't have anything to hide from you, mom. You're overthinking it, overthinking it." Chen Fei was slightly startled, nervously explained.

"Really?" Lin Ling glanced at Chen Fei, who was making it worse by explaining, rolled her eyes and said, "Then let me ask you, when are you going to that Cultivation World again?"

"Uh, this, this..." Hearing this, Chen Fei felt a pang in his heart, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly at his mother. Indeed a mother, even his little thoughts could not be hidden.

"Probably, maybe... uh, tomorrow or the day after?" Chen Fei scratched his head guiltily and said. If he didn't get moving, he might miss out on an event in Earth Martial City, so he had to leave.

Moreover, the Flower God Sect in the Inner Region was still waiting for him. Pei Wanning was his woman, so no matter what, he couldn't accept outsiders separating them by any means.

This was the dignity of a man!

And the escaped Qin Gong was still a significant hidden danger. Unlike True Joy, who was forced to commit suicide by him, Qin Gong was stronger and more formidable. If encountered alone, he might not be his match.

So ultimately, it was because his strength was insufficient! He had to become stronger, stronger, and stronger.

"Tomorrow or the day after? So soon?"

Lin Ling's expression changed slightly, then she helplessly shook her head and instructed, "I know your abilities are great now, so I don't want to interfere much, but remember one thing: stay safe, so I won't worry… Also, go talk to Apel too. Although she might have guessed it too, it's different when it comes from your mouth. That girl is a good one, don't let her down."

"Okay, I understand, mom." Chen Fei felt it was necessary to explain, nodded, and went to the room where Lin Ling and Apel stayed together.

"Darling, why are you here?" Apel leaped in surprise and asked.

"I have something to tell you." Holding Apel's tender body with some guilt, Chen Fei, with dodging eyes and a guilty tone, said.

"Ah, what is it?" Seeing Chen Fei's expression, how could Apel not guess that what Chen Fei wanted to say was nothing good? Instantly, her eyes became teary.

Feeling distressed, Chen Fei quickly reached out to wipe her tears. While wiping her tears, he gritted his teeth and said, "I should leave tomorrow or the day after to the Cultivation World."

"Ah?" Apel's eyes turned red in an instant, looking at Chen Fei dumbly, then couldn't help but grasp Chen Fei's hand, with tears in her eyes, said, "So soon, are you really going? Can't you stay a little longer, at least for my sake, stay a few more days?"

In front of outsiders, she has always been a strong, independent woman, resolute in personality, aligned with the typical Western woman's nature, but at this moment, she very much wanted to keep Chen Fei by her side, never to leave.

In front of outsiders, she is a strong woman and a superstar, but in front of her husband, her darling, she is just a little woman longing for a prince. However, she also knew that Chen Fei had to leave, so she only hoped Chen Fei could stay a bit longer, accompany her.

"I can't. If I delay a few more days, I'm afraid I won't make it for something in the Cultivation World, and I also want to quickly go bring Wann Qing." Chen Fei shook his head and said apologetically.

"Sister Wann Qing?"

Apel was slightly stunned. Over these days, she learned of a 'sister' named 'Pei Wanning' before her, such a person existed.

However, she never understood why the other suddenly disappeared? And at this moment, Chen Fei's seemingly random words, along with the complex tone, made her seem to have guessed something, her heart also softened...

"Darling, no matter how long you are away, I will always wait at home for your return. And, you must promise me, stay safe, no matter what happens, always stay safe." Apel followed up.

"Don't worry. I will surely come back safe and sound. Besides, it's not as bad as imagined. I've already arranged for the people from the Enlightened Deity Mansion under me to stay on this Earth, so whenever you and mom miss me, or I miss you, you can come and go anytime."

Chen Fei wiped Apel's tears on her face, leaned down to kiss her, then smiled and said.

"Mm…" Hearing this, Apel agreed, smiling and nodding.

"Also, you must not slack off on the cultivation method I taught you, you must diligently practice, understand?"

Chen Fei remembered something, gently scraping Apel's pretty nose with his finger, and said.

"Mm, don't worry, I understand..." Apel immediately nodded, her eyes flaring with a touch of warmth, enchanting eyes looking at Chen Fei, and with her arms tightly around him, kissed him with soft lips.

"Darling, can I sleep at your place tonight? Hmm..."

"...Okay, okay..."

…

A day later, as Chen Fei left Northern Mountain City on the clouds, two trails of tears softly fell from the corner of his eyes.

Men don't easily cry, only because they have not reached the point of heartbreak.

If it weren't for already embarking on this path, with no way to turn back, how could he not want to stay on Earth, enjoying life with his family and wife, living happily together?

But reality is ultimately reality, and it wouldn't let him have his way.

As a man, it was impossible for him to abandon Pei Wanning.

What's more, Qin Gong remained a massive and dangerous threat.

If the opponent were to return, it could destroy Earth... naturally, this was not something he wished to see, so now he had only one choice, which was to become stronger!

Become stronger!

Become even stronger!

Chen Fei silently clenched his fist, and with a swish, he transformed into a long arc that pierced the sky, finally disappearing completely from above the clouds.

…

Enlightened Deity Mansion, deep underground within that Earth-grade Spirit Vein of Spirit Grade.

In the dim light of the vast underground world, a tall stone platform towered, paved with black stone slabs that shimmered with a crimson sheen, vast as if it were a Commander's Platform. Upon this stone platform stood hundreds of dark red statues, lifelike, as if they were alive.

And at this moment, these statues that seemed alive were faintly enveloped in a heavy war intent. The solidity and intensity of that war intent might be unbearable even for a Cultivator of the Fifth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm.

Yet amid this terrifying war intent, a figure stood calmly at the front of the stone platform, towering and unmoved, seemingly unaffected by that fearsome war intent, which was astonishing.

Bang!

However, in the next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the group of dark red statues, with cracking sounds... pieces of stone fell from the statues, revealing these flashing human figures.

"Looks like they've all revived, but coming straight at me with an imposing display? Heh, that's not going to work..." The figure standing at the front of the stone platform slightly smiled, flipped a palm, and a peculiar purple cloud spread out like steam.

The mist merged into his hand, then streaks of inconspicuous purple lines appeared on his skin, twinkling with strange brilliance, containing astonishing power.

Roar!

The next moment, the dark red statues seemed to perceive Chen Fei's action, collectively roaring like a dragon's cry, shaking the mountains, as a terrifying vortex of war intent surged to the pinnacle!

The churning war intent clouds were suffocatingly powerful.

And in the midst of those dark red statues, a figure slowly stepped forward.

That figure was clad in a giant armor with gilded cloud patterns, wore a massive eight-sided golden helmet, stepped in boots shaped like winding pythons, and carried on the back an enormous battle axe of at least two or three meters, an impressive posture with explosive power.

"King, you have arrived?" He smiled as he looked at the figure in front of the stone platform.

Clearly, this figure was none other than Chen Fei.

"Commander Ji, let me see your current strength." Chen Fei nodded slightly and said.

"... Are you sure?" The giant armored figure's pupils slightly contracted, he asked slowly.

"Of course." Chen Fei nodded very calmly.

Immediately, the giant armored figure couldn't help but take a deep look at the figure in front of the stone platform... their Scarlet Sky Lord's King. Moments later, he waved a large hand and said coldly, "Scarlet Sky Army, heed the order!"

"Yes!" The earth-shaking response made the underground world tremble.

"Take action!" The giant armored figure spoke again, his voice deep.

Boom!

The earth suddenly trembled as a terrifying power emanated from the surging war intent clouds.

In the next moment, a terrifying giant claw, about a hundred meters long, covered in scales and shimmering with the light of war intent, appeared from within the clouds.

"King, this is one of our Scarlet Sky Army's attack skills, the Battle Beast Claw. If you stop now, it might still be held back..."

The giant armored figure looked hesitantly at Chen Fei. Their entire Scarlet Sky Army had now fully revived, so even facing an enemy of True Monarch Realm, this claw alone would be sufficient.

And their Scarlet Sky Lord's King, as far as he knew, clearly had not yet reached that level.
