The Legend of Zhu San
284: Entering the Upper World
Zhu San was choked when suddenly Bian Chi darted and smothered his mouth. The shock immediately stopped along with the loss of Zhu San's laughter which was still streaming qi towards his head.
“I'm sorry .. I forgot if I still stream qi.” Zhu San was ashamed that he almost harmed those whom He loved dearly.
Everyone except Shen Rong, was stunned after seeing and hearing what Zhu San said.
“The laugh alone can shake the building, how about the shout?” Xie Han looked astonished at the power Zhu San had accidentally displayed.
The silent atmosphere was solved by Mu Rong's voice asking his son. “San’er, Chi’er .. Will you leave for the Upper World today as well?”
“True Mother .. We must immediately pursue the Goddess of Darkness before He destroys the Upper World and snatches the Seven Color Stone from her hands.” Zhu San's reply made Mu Rong's face sad again.
That is because He got the hunch that he would not be reunited with the Prince alone for a long time.
“Then what if the Goddess of Death returns this World and attacks us? Who will protect us?”
Mu Rong was still looking for an excuse for Zhu San and Bian Chi to delay their departure to the Upper World, a world they had never known before.
After a moment of silence, Zhu San immediately answered the Mother's question.
“About that, depending on Ancestor Shen. Is Ancestor Shen willing to keep the peace in this Underworld?” Zhu San asked with a sly smile staring towards Shen Rong
“This tengil boy! How did he know if I decided to remain in this Underworld?” Shen Rong was cursing Zhu San in his mind.
“Alright if that's what you want. I am willing to guard them all from the cruelty of the Dark Goddess and her men.”
Zhu San smiled broadly at it, while Fu Kuan and Lin Kai smiled faintly. Both of them knew what the real reason Shen Rong was willing to do so.
‘Legregor, if you need my help to lure the woman, I will gladly help you. Trust me I'm very good at this.” Lin Kai whispered to Shen Rong who was sitting nearby.
“Really? If it works, I'll give you ten energy-recovery grapes.”
Shen Rong replied enthusiastically, although he was surprised that Lin Kai knew the real reason he had accepted Zhu San's request.
“Temper alone Ancestor. Trust me.” Lin Kai said excitedly recalling the ten energy recovery grapes in return for him.
Zhu San only shook his head hearing the conversation of the two different generations of parents.
“Dad, Mother .. Looks like our time has arrived to leave for the World above.” Zhu San stood up from his seat which was then followed by Bian Chi.
Mu Rong's Tears were dripping profusely just after He took off his arms to Zhu San and Bian Chi who were now in the middle of the room.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Zhu San immediately opened the Dimensional gate with the Seven-colored Stone.
It was then that Fu Kuan and Lin Kai felt a premonition saying that they would not be able to see anymore of his beloved disciple.
“San’er .. Remember teacher's message. As bad and difficult as any situation you will experience in the future, never go once from the path of truth.”
Zhu San replied as he saluted to hear the words of Master whom he respected very much.
“San’er .. Quickly go home. I can't wait to fondle my grandchild.” In between his sobs, Mu Rong still placed his last hope.
Zhu San tried to endure his grief by promising to please the Mother. It was because he suddenly got the feeling that he would not meet the Mother again.
A moment later, the atmosphere became silent as the seven-colored light dissipated from their sight, along with the disappearance of Zhu San's and Bian Chi's bodies.
“Already Rong’er Do not grieve, it is not good for your health.” The silence was broken by the voice of the Noble Zhu Han who was trying to ease his wife's cries.
“Han Gege .. For some reason, I got a hunch that we can't see San’er anymore.”
Everyone gasped at Mu Rong's words. Their hearts became troubled after knowing Mu Rong had the same premonition as each of them.
The premonition that said that they would not be able to meet again with Zhu San and Bian Chi.
“Please all of you. They'll both be fine. Both of them had been at the Peak Level of a God Swordsman. It might even have been at the level of a True God Swordsman, a level of swordsman that could not be achieved by ordinary humans despite hundreds of years of hard training.”
Shen Rong's speech made everyone speechless with a heart that was slowly enveloped by a sense of calm.
Without anyone knowing, Shen Rong advised Zhu San by telepathy, to be careful when he meets another immortal human who is the Strongest Evil Figure of the Upper Black Stream named Qi Shang.
According to Shen Rong, Qi Shang was currently still alive and it could be that his strength now exceeded the strength he had. Because Qi Shang had always trained to be the strongest.

“This Is the Upper World? Pure Energy in this World is so abundant.” Bian Chi said as the two had arrived in the Upper World, a hundred meters above the air of a mountain range that was swampy was very cool.
“Although not as much as in the Soul Realm, still this pure energy was so great and abundant. Chi’er I will try to find out the whereabouts of Qiu Lan and his two men.”
After saying so, Zhu San closed his eyes. With the Technique He learned from the Book of God Techniques, Zhu San tried to figure out the whereabouts of the three people they were looking for.
But after nearly five minutes, Zhu San had not managed to find the aura of Qiu Lan's power nor the Blue Phoenix. Likewise while trying to find the whereabouts of his teacher, Long Niu. This made Zhu San become anxious.
“San Gege what's wrong?” Bian Chi asked after Zhu San opened his eyes with a worried-looking face. “Either why, I could not feel the Aura of their Strength nor Master.”
“Perhaps their distance or the teacher is too far from us or they are not exerting their strength. Or maybe both.” Bian Chi calmed the anxious looking husband.
Zhu San nodded his head. The two decided to look for a village or town and asked where they were currently.
Based on the information obtained from Ancestor Shen Rong, the Upper World was divided into three continents and five Empires. The Upper World had an area three times that of the Underworld.
The Wind Sword Sect was in the Red Cloud Continent. While the Sacred Sword Sect was in the Blue Cloud continent and was the strongest and oldest white flow Sect in the continent.
The Sacred Sword Sect was the Sect where Ancestor Yao San and Gong Yi came from. Their Sect Ancestor was named Gong Xhun who was the Eldest Brother of Gong Li, the First Wife of the seven wives of Lord Yao Chan.
As they were about to dash north from where they had arrived, Zhu San and Bian Chi suddenly felt a force coming from below as well as an enormous sword-shaped energy attack.
Zhu San immediately resisted the energy attack with his left palm and squeezed the sword-shaped energy into disintegration.
What Zhu San did, made the figure that attacked him stunned with a paled face, especially when suddenly Bian Chi had been before him at a speed that he had never seen before.
