Chapter 559: Chapter 559

Xiong Chan sighed: "What a pity for Xu Gongming."

Red-haired Yan Kong: "A figure like him, truly a rarity seen in centuries, perished before really coming into his own. Such a pity."

Xiong Chan: "The ancients said it well, ’Since there is Yu, why is there Liang?’ If Xu Gongming were alive, no matter how hard I tried, I would only be able to cooperate with the Great Yu Court and couldn’t soar like a dragon. Now, without the shackles of Xu Gongming, I dare say there is no one in the world who can restrain my ambitions. Perhaps it’s our opportunity to fulfill our predecessors’ wish of establishing a Buddha Country."

Establishing a Buddha Country on earth, allowing the people to enter the Pure Land, was Xiong Chan’s grand pursuit.

To realize such an aspiration, he would undoubtedly push his realm to the Creator Realm, perhaps even higher.

By then, becoming a Buddha and progenitor would be inevitable. The most update n0vels are published on NoveI[F]ire.net

Red-haired Yan Kong: "From what I know of Xu Gongming, even if he truly died, he would surely have left a contingency."

Xiong Chan: "I know, Xu Gongming’s greatest worry before dying was certainly me. In fact, when he was at Changbai Mountain, he had every opportunity to let me perish along with the old Heavenly Master. Never expected he’d give up on that thought. I owe him this favor, so after leaving, I went back and dealt a heavy blow to the Black Mountain demon. Unfortunately, I still couldn’t save him."

Red-haired Yan Kong: "The wise tend to think alike, Xu Gongming, though deceased, must still have means to deal with you."

Xiong Chan laughed heartily: "Isn’t this also my opportunity? Once I weather this crisis, no one in the world can stop my desire to establish a Buddha Country, not even the resurrection of Xu Gongming. By then, I will use the power granted by this great vow to face the Black Mountain demon."

The Black Mountain demon was the highest peak Xiong Chan most wanted to surpass.

In truth, Xu Qing was the one with the best chance to replace the Black Mountain demon as the number one expert in the world.

Unfortunately, Xu Gongming did not reach that point.

As for Elder Fang, he was not a true cultivator and wasn’t very persistent in cultivation. According to Xiong Chan’s understanding, Elder Fang seemed very willing to re-enter the cycle of life and death, thinking of death as completely natural, and believing one shouldn’t be obsessed with seeking Longevity.

This might be the reason why Elder Fang’s realm was so unfathomable.

Xiong Chan, of course, could not follow Elder Fang.

Everyone has their own path.

For people like them, what’s most important is to adhere to their path and stay true to their heart.

"The overseer is dead?" Yan Shan stood in disbelief for a moment, then slowly said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Su Lianqing: "The young master has instructed, if he does not survive, you must take responsibility. I will be supervising you."

Su Lianqing’s figure slowly disappeared from Yan Shan’s sight.

She didn’t believe the young master to be truly dead, and had a strong premonition that he would return. She would do everything in her power to protect the young master’s legacy.

The news of Xu Qing’s death continued to spread far and wide.

The Eastern Barbarians, the grassland, the Tusi of Qian Nan Province, the countries of the Western Regions, Tubo...

Many forces that had seen or heard of Xu Qing’s reputation knew that a pillar of the Great Yu had fallen. Although Xu Qing’s official rank wasn’t high, the things he did in the past few years were immensely influential.

Especially the people of South Zhili and North Zhili, many had benefited from Xu Qing’s kindness.

Some even privately set up Longevity tablets for Xu Qing.

When the news of Xu Qing’s death spread, many people cried.

They cried for Xu Qing, and also for themselves.

Because Xu Liushou was truly an official who cared for the people, they saw it and felt it.

As the reactions from various places had not yet completely settled, the news of the Emperor planning a southern tour stirred up a great storm again in the Court.
