Chapter 224: The Dilemma

In the eyes of the villagers, the Bull Demon was practically an invincible existence.

For many years, it had oppressed Chen Family Village, and everyone dared to feel anger but did not voice it.

But today, that arrogant Bull Demon didn’t even get the chance to strike back before being slain by Chen Ansheng.

How could the crowd not be shocked!

“It seems that what Ah Hu said is true; this kid Ansheng has obtained tremendous fortune outside.”

“Our Chen Family Village has also produced an outstanding figure.”

“Thank the heavens! With Ansheng here, who would dare bully us in the future?”

While the crowd excitedly debated, they soon saw Chen Ansheng move in the sky.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One after another, sword shadows filled with celestial power hovered in the air, each exuding a terrifying majesty.

“Go!”

With a cold shout from Chen Ansheng, the countless peerless sword shadows surged toward the mountains ahead.

Boom! Boom! Boom…

In an instant, the earth shook, and the mountain erupted in a towering blood mist, filled with screams that made one’s scalp tingle.

Hundreds of little demons that had been lurking in the mountains were utterly annihilated!

The villagers watched this display with overwhelming excitement, their spirits lifted.

The demonic threat was completely resolved.

They cheered and celebrated, with the elders beginning to arrange a grand feast for tonight to celebrate the extermination of the demons.

Chen Ansheng descended, surrounded by cheers from the crowd.

At that moment, Chen Cuiyun hurriedly ran over, tears in her eyes. “Ansheng, your… your grandmother seems to be in trouble.”

A buzzing noise filled Chen Ansheng’s mind, and a wave of sourness surged in his nostrils.

“Quick, let’s go take a look!”

Second Uncle called out, and everyone headed toward the west side of the village.

“Second Uncle, please wait, I can go by myself.”

Chen Ansheng said, and with a flash, he transformed into a streak of rainbow light and flew to his wooden house.

He rushed inside.

On the bed, Grandmother Chen lay with her eyes tightly closed, her breath barely a whisper, clearly nearing death.

“What to do!”

Tears streamed down Chen Ansheng’s face as he felt a sense of urgency.

In the realm of immortals, one does not ascend to the realm of true immortals, and one’s lifespan is roughly around five thousand years.

Grandmother Chen had lived for five thousand four hundred years, and logically, she should have already faced her end.

But how could Chen Ansheng bear to let his grandmother, who had never enjoyed a single day of peace, leave like this?

“The Spirit Realm! I have a thread of compressed life laws in my Spirit Realm that might save my grandmother’s life!”

In his panic, Chen Ansheng recalled this.

He quickly sealed his wooden house and released the Spirit Realm.

The Spirit Realm floated out like a droplet of sparkling dew. With a thought, Chen Ansheng brought his grandmother into the realm.

“Hiss!”

As soon as he entered, Chen Ansheng felt a terrifying force from the world pressing down on the Spirit Realm.

It felt just like being in the Lost Realm; anyone from the outside world entering would trigger the pressure from that realm.

And the pressure from the immortal realm was far more terrifying than that of the Lost Realm.

“No matter how long I can keep my grandmother here, I will make it happen!”

Immediately, Chen Ansheng summoned the strand of life law in the realm, transforming it into green threads that wound around his grandmother’s celestial body.

In that instant, Grandmother Chen’s aged form visibly began to rejuvenate, her deep wrinkles decreasing significantly.

“Child, where exactly are we?”

Before long, Grandmother Chen’s vitality was restored. Upon waking, she asked in confusion.

“Grandmother, you’re awake! This is a spatial treasure I obtained; if you stay here, your body will recover.”

Chen Ansheng cried tears of joy as he explained through laughter.

“Having lived for five thousand years, I’ve never heard of such a miraculous treasure. Good, so good.”

Grandmother Chen felt an abundance of strength surging within her, as if she had suddenly become two or three thousand years younger.

“From now on, you’ll stay here, and your grandson will take care of you and let you enjoy peace.” Chen Ansheng wiped away his tears, grinning stupidly.

Breathing in the incredibly fresh celestial aura, Grandmother Chen felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. She patted Chen Ansheng’s head: “I thought I was about to go just now; I didn’t expect my grandson to have such capabilities to pull me back from the edge of death.”

“Mm, grandmother, as long as your grandson is here, I will ensure you enjoy great blessings and a long life.”

“Child, I don’t wish for a long life; I just want to see my great-grandson once and I would be satisfied.” Grandmother Chen said, beaming with joy.

“Rest assured, my abilities are now considerable; all the celestial maidens are lining up to be your granddaughter-in-law, hehe.” Chen Ansheng replied.

“You’re just trying to make your grandmother happy.”

“Why would I do that? One day, I’ll bring a few back for you to meet.” As he spoke, Chen Ansheng waved his hand at the sky, and a large pile of celestial fruits flew over. “Grandmother, these fruits smell wonderful and taste amazing, sweeter than the celestial jujubes from our village. You should try them.”

“Aroma, truly fragrant. In my lifetime, I have never smelled such fragrant fruits.”

Grandmother Chen picked up a plump, ruby-red celestial fruit and placed it in her mouth. The exquisitely sweet juice flowed in, indescribably delicious.

“Wow, there are such delicious fruits in the world; today, grandmother is certainly blessed.”

“From now on, I’ll provide you with delicious food every day, letting you enjoy peace.”

“Good, good, good! Grandmother never dreamed there would be such a day.” At that moment, Grandmother Chen truly felt like she was dreaming.

Later, Chen Ansheng arranged for his grandmother to stay in a palace and summoned several female demons from the Spirit Realm to serve her.

However, deep down, Chen Ansheng couldn’t truly relax; instead, he was filled with concerns.

“Master, there’s more in this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!”

Under the starry sky, Chen Ansheng summoned the controlling spirit.

“Celestial, the pressure is too great; our Spirit Realm might not hold out for long,” the controlling spirit said worriedly.

“Isn’t that obvious? I called you here to think of a solution!” Chen Ansheng replied with irritation.

The life laws in this Spirit Realm were not connected to the outside world. If Grandmother Chen were to exit the Spirit Realm, she would revert to her aged and decayed state, which Chen Ansheng firmly refused to allow.

No matter what, he had to find a way to block the pressure from the immortal realm and keep his grandmother in the realm!

“This…”

The controlling spirit frowned deeply.

After pondering for a long time, it finally spoke: “Celestial, there is only one way, which is to enhance the quality of the Spirit Realm.”

“How so?” Chen Ansheng asked.

The controlling spirit explained: “Our Spirit Realm is subjected to external pressure because the laws are incomplete; if you can gradually complete the laws, the pressure will lessen.”

As the controller, Chen Ansheng understood immediately upon the reminder from the controlling spirit.

The Spirit Realm was ultimately just a small world, but as long as he could complete the missing laws, in theory, it could even become an existence equal to the immortal realm.

In that case, the immortal realm would naturally be unable to exert pressure on the Spirit Realm.

However, saying that was akin to creating another immortal realm; how easy could that be!

“I can only ask my master to intervene; he is capable of capturing the laws, and I must bring him back to the immortal realm as soon as possible to resolve this matter!”

Chen Ansheng had witnessed various laws captured by Elder Ji in his tower; currently, only he could solve this dilemma!
