Chapter 1148: Chen Zuan’s Separation from his Lowly Interests
Yellowstone National Park had one of the biggest volcanoes in the world. One famous American disaster films’ storyline was about this volcano erupting.
It was situated in Wyoming and was the largest park on Earth with a distance of more than 1500 kilometers.
The site opening was due to the discovery of lava exuding from the ground. Initially, the park management thought that the volcano was about to erupt but the location of the lava was far from the volcano. Moreover, the lava was extremely strange.
Later, a Metahuman noticed that the creatures in the Yellowstone National Park started to mutate and the intensity of their Spirit Qi rose rapidly.
Then, everyone realized that a site was about to open!
Everyone thought that there would not be anymore opening of sites as it had been too long since the last opening. Therefore, they were slow to react.
The opening of the remains was not a secret. The Phoenix Society was unable to stop the news from spreading on time. In fact, the various large organizations had all tried to stop the news from spreading but only the Heavenly Network succeeded…
If the site opened in the Heavenly Network, none of the Pract.i.tioners and Metahumans in the world would know about it.
After all, although finding treasures was a good thing, it was not worth sacrificing their lives over.
To everyone, the Eastern country was mysterious and powerful. All of the three powerful individuals of the Shen Cang Jing level, belonged to that country…
Pract.i.tioners and Metahumans from all over the world rushed to North America, either through legal or illegal means. To these “new humans”, it was too easy for them to enter illegally. Moreover, the Phoenix Society did not have the ability to stop the pract.i.tioners from entering.
Both the Metahumans and the Pract.i.tioners were not worried about the actions that the Phoenix Society would take to stop them. Although there was a Rank One expert in the Phoenix Society, after the battle on the tiger’s back, his powers had greatly diminished and the numbers of the army had nearly dropped by half. With this overall power, they could not match up to the Pract.i.tioners from all around the world.
Therefore most of the people camping in Yellowstone National Park were Pract.i.tioners who were waiting for the opening of the site. Even the Phoenix Society were unable to confirm how these Pract.i.tioners had entered…
However, the Pract.i.tioners and the large organizations knew that the trip would not be as simple as they thought it would be, as they were not sure if the Heavenly Network would attack…
As they thought about this, they felt helpless as they could not do anything to the Heavenly Network…
Someone built a tent in Yellowstone National Park and they looked like ordinary trekkers. The Pract.i.tioners gathered together and it was said that there were tens of thousands of them in Yellowstone National Park. However, when they were dispersed across the 80,000 hectare park, they still looked quite dispersed.
The Pract.i.tioners who did not know each other tried not to stay together. Who knew what the background of those ‘friendly’ people were?
Someone mumbled as he lit up the bonfire, “I wonder if the Heavenly Network would send people over?”
“It’s fine as long as they don’t send the Ninth Heavenly King over,” another person continued.
“Why?” The people nearby stopped what they were doing.
“If other people were sent over, at the very most, we would end up empty-handed. However, if the Ninth Heavenly King was sent over, then things would be different,” the person who spoke sounded angry, “If we meet him, not only would we end up empty-handed, but we might also have to pay a huge price!”
Someone laughed, “Brother, you must have experienced something.”
Everyone here had heard about the stories regarding the Ninth Heavenly King but they did not expect to meet a victim here…
“I wonder how the Ninth Heavenly King looks like, so we can take preventive measures,” said a person.
“The Ninth Heavenly King is extremely mysterious. Now that he had attained the Shen Cang Jing, n.o.body could hurt him,” the person who spoke initially said, “If I find out that he is in the park, I will hide immediately and wait for the entire event to end…”
Only a few hundred people were in this campsite. Nearby, Lu Shu sat speechlessly. Lu Xiaoyu, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao laughed as they heard the conversation.
There were many asians in Yellowstone National Park. Or rather, there were already quite a number of asians in North America. The four of them did not attract anyone’s attention as they blended in.
Chen Zuan laughed sneakily, “Brother Shu, what a reputation you have there.”
Lu Xiaoyu stared at Chen Zuan while hugging Little Fury. “Stop trying to stir things up.”
Chen Zuan stopped talking. With Lu Xiaoyu around, only Lu Xiaoyu could tease Lu Shu or that person would be scolded by Lu Xiaoyu…
“Fatty, I realized that you are wearing simple outfits recently.” Lu Shu looked at Chen Zuan. In the past, Chen Zuan’s watch could be worth up to millions of dollars. Now, he removed his watch and the clothes he was wearing cost less than a hundred dollars.
It was normal if Lu Shu wore those clothes as he liked to do so. However, it was extremely unusual when Chen Zuan wore those. His car also disappeared.
Chen Zuan sighed, “Although I am rich, my status in the family is still rather low. Back then, I wanted to train but most people don’t believe in training. Now what? I became a person of a high status and became the top of the younger generation.”
Lu Shu listened quietly. All these years, not only was he changing, but Lu Xiaoyu, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were also changing for the better.
Chen Zuan continued, “In the past, my Second Master, eldest, second eldest and fourth eldest uncles looked down on me. Now, they are extremely friendly when they see me. However, I realized that I am no longer so keen on the materialistic life as I do not need those things to prove myself. I have separated myself from lowly interests…”
“The younger generation all try to suck up to me but I don’t really feel like interacting with them. The family of power and authority does not seem to fit me anymore. Therefore, I suddenly understood why Second Master Chen Baili left the family. With different aspirations, they end up in different paths. I no longer look up to people like my uncles.”
“You can’t say it that way.” Lu Shu shook his head. “Everyone has their own aspirations. There’s no such thing as a lowly aspiration.”
Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly asked, “Hold on, you mentioned about your eldest, second eldest and fourth eldest uncles, what about your third eldest uncle? Is he dead?”
Chen Zuan’s face turned black immediately. “My dad is the third eldest!”
