I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Chapter 539: Chapter 64: Letting Go of Worries

At seventeen, Lin Chen unexpectedly gained the ability to travel between the Cultivation Realm and Blue Star through a Gate of Space-Time.

Up to now, hundreds of years have passed, and the Cultivation Realm has long become his second home.

However, what exactly does home mean? Is it a specific place?

Lin Chen thought not.

To him, home was the family, friends, senior and junior brothers, and master he cared about.

He had not seen these important people for nearly a hundred years, and now that a reunion was imminent, a wave of nervousness welled up in Lin Chen’s heart.

He took a deep breath, slowly approaching Medicine Mountain, not hiding his presence.

As he neared Medicine Mountain, a figure flew out from the mountains, accompanied by an inquiry: "Fellow Daoist, from where do you come, and what brings you to my Medicine Mountain?"

The owner of this voice was none other than Lin Chen’s little junior brother, Zhou Tieshan, whom he hadn’t seen in many years.

Over a hundred years had passed, and the little tag-along who used to follow behind Lin Chen had now become a pillar of Pill Peak, a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.

Lin Chen felt immense relief in his heart, but he had not yet reverted to his original appearance.

To Zhou Tieshan, who hadn’t seen Lin Chen for decades, compounded by the significant changes in Lin Chen’s aura, realm, and demeanor after breaking through to the Unity Stage, he could not recognize him at first glance.

Zhou Tieshan released his Divine Sense, attempting to gauge Lin Chen’s cultivation realm, but the unfathomable aura made his brow furrow.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my Medicine Mountain?" Zhou Tieshan couldn’t help but ask again.

Seeing his little junior brother looking so serious, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a playful urge in his heart.

He deepened his expression, showing a hint of displeasure, and scolded loudly: "Oh, you really don’t remember me? Think again!"

Zhou Tieshan noticed Lin Chen’s unfavorable tone, and though he felt somewhat nervous inside, he maintained his composure and said, "If there’s something you need, just say it directly, why beat around the bush?"

After decades of not seeing him, Lin Chen sensed a sharpness emanating from Zhou Tieshan, indicating significant growth over the years. Perhaps he had also experienced confrontations with other cultivators and was no longer the timid young boy he once was.

The commotion between the two quickly drew the attention of others in Medicine Mountain.

Several streams of escape light streaked across the sky, as Senior Sister Han Jihai and the third senior brother also emerged from Medicine Mountain.

Lin Chen’s fingers trembled slightly, and he discreetly exhaled, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

His gaze flicked over them, and with just one glance, he could discern the changes his master and senior siblings had undergone over the decades.

Han Jihai was still much the same, likely due to cultivating the Evergreen Technique. Old Han’s appearance had not aged much over the years. A cultivator at Golden Core Perfection naturally had a lifespan of five hundred years, and with Old Han’s practice of the Evergreen Technique, living to eight or nine hundred years didn’t seem difficult.

As for the senior sister and third senior brother, they also hadn’t aged much compared to before. After all, with the extended lifespan of a Golden Core Perfection stage cultivator, they were just over a hundred years old, the prime of a cultivator’s life.

Seeing his master and senior siblings rushing out, Lin Chen no longer felt like teasing.

He was pondering how to reunite with his master and senior siblings, and how to explain his experiences and whereabouts over the past decades.

However, before Lin Chen could explain, Han Jihai furrowed his brows slightly, staring intently at Lin Chen’s figure, his body trembling slightly.

Han Jihai surveyed the surroundings and then loudly announced, "Ahem, so it’s an old friend we haven’t seen in years. In that case, let’s first gather at my Medicine Mountain."

Han Jihai gestured to a few disciples and opened the restriction of Medicine Mountain, with Lin Chen following closely behind, entering Medicine Mountain together.

Once inside Medicine Mountain, Han Jihai quickly closed its restriction again.

Lin Chen swept his Divine Sense and discovered that, besides his fellow brothers and sisters, there were dozens of disciples from the Changchun Sect, likely Outer Sect disciples from Pill Peak managing the Spirit Field in Medicine Mountain.

Han Jihai did not linger in the Spirit Field of Medicine Mountain; he led Lin Chen straight to a hidden abode within the mountain.

This abode was known only to Han Jihai’s direct disciples.

Upon reaching this place, Lin Chen’s gaze was slightly surprised, as the setup was almost identical to that on Pill Peak back then.

Seeing no outsiders around, Han Jihai set up a sound insulation array, then stared at Lin Chen, eager to ask, "Why have you come back now, kid? Where have you been all these years?"

Lin Chen blinked, while his fellow disciples were all at a loss, not knowing what their master was talking about.

Seeing that Han Jihai had recognized him, Lin Chen gave a wry smile and asked, "Master, how did you recognize me?"

This address of "Master" finally moved Han Jihai, who took a deep breath, calming his inner excitement, and said, "Hmph, you brat, I raised you with great effort! Even if you turned to ashes, I’d recognize you!"

As Han Jihai spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, "Chen’Er, where have you been all these years? Why haven’t you sent even a word back?"

Upon hearing this term of endearment, the other disciples finally realized, exclaiming, "Fourth Junior Brother (Fourth Senior Brother), is it you?"

Lin Chen nodded with a smile.

In the next instant, Lin Chen’s vision went dark, greeted by a familiar embrace.

Beside his ears came the voice of the senior sister, tinged with a sob, "You heartless one, not a single message for decades, we all thought you were dead!"

Lin Chen pursed his lips and did not resist, waiting only for the senior sister’s emotions to stabilize before letting out a long sigh and beginning to explain.
