Tianyuan Xuanxian

Chapter 3 Reunion

Until this moment, Chen Xuan believed what his grandfather said.
"It seems that Grandpa did practice immortal arts when he was young, otherwise how could he have obtained such a powerful treasure!"

"But if Grandpa really practiced immortal arts, then why did he suffer from such a stubborn disease? Could it be that immortals also experience birth, old age, sickness, and death like ordinary people?"

Without time to think about it, Chen Xuan looked at the black wooden box that imprisoned the giant spider, and a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.

At this moment, an illusory seven-pointed star mark flew out from the black box and instantly merged into Chen Xuan's eyebrows.

When the mark entered his body, Chen Xuan suddenly felt dizzy and a strong sense of vertigo swept over his body. He couldn't help but retching.

It was unknown how long it took before the dizziness slowly faded away and the surrounding space returned to normal. Chen Xuan then slowly opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, after opening his eyes, he found himself in complete darkness, unable to see his hand in front of him. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, with the only sound in the entire space being Chen Xuan's own breathing.

Chen Xuan immediately became extremely alert. He understood that he was no longer in the cave, but had come to a place he had never been to before.

Because of the spider before, Chen Xuan became more vigilant, but fortunately no other accidents occurred.

After a long time, as his eyes gradually adapted to the surrounding environment, Chen Xuan finally saw the full picture of where he was at the moment.

The scene he saw made his heart tremble and his back go cold.

At this moment, in front of him, there was a spider that looked exactly like the spider in the cave before.

The only difference is that the spider in front of him is hundreds of times larger than the one outside. Its body is like a mountain, and even one of its barbs is bigger than Chen Xuan himself.

But for some reason, the spider's eight compound eyes were tightly closed at this moment, and its body was motionless, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep. Chen Xuan could faintly feel the monstrous aura contained in its body, and just a trace of it would be enough to destroy him both physically and spiritually.

It was unknown how long it took before Chen Xuan came back to his senses from his panic. After realizing that the spider would not suddenly attack and hurt anyone, he plucked up the courage to look around.

This sight almost made him lose his mind.

He was surrounded by monsters of various races, and even the sky above his head was occupied by countless flying monsters.

Some of these monsters were huge in size, and even just one part of their body made Chen Xuan unable to see the end at a glance; some were petite in size, comparable to ordinary wild beasts.

Chen Xuan even discovered a monster as small as dust in the air, but the energy fluctuations Chen Xuan sensed from its body were even more intense than those from the spider before!

At this moment, the entire space suddenly shook violently, and a strong aura descended instantly. Chen Xuan looked up and saw a faint human-shaped shadow slowly gathering in front of him.

At the same time, Chen Xuan discovered that with the appearance of this figure, the bodies of all the monsters in the space began to tremble slightly, as if they were extremely afraid of the breath in front of them.

When the figure was completely condensed, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

After seeing the old man's face clearly, Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and an indescribable emotion instantly filled his mind.

Then, Chen Xuan knelt down in front of the old man with a plop. The corners of his mouth drooped, and tears immediately slid down his cheeks.
"Grandpa, Xuan'er misses you so much..."

Upon seeing this, the old man hurried forward to help Chen Xuan up, his face, which seemed to have experienced countless years, was filled with a kind smile:
"My Xuan'er, what are you doing? Get up quickly... let grandpa see you. I haven't seen you for a few days and you have lost weight." Feeling the warmth from the old man's palm, Chen Xuan felt like he was dreaming at this moment. His grandfather who had died in front of him a few days ago appeared in front of him again in good condition.

He reached out and wiped the tears from his face, then looked at the old man again. His voice and appearance were exactly the same as the grandfather he remembered. He was undoubtedly his grandfather, but...

"Grandpa, you're not..."

The old man seemed to know that Chen Xuan would ask this question, so he spoke before Chen Xuan finished asking:

"Xuan'er, time is running out. Grandpa knows you have many questions in your mind, but I can't answer them one by one, so I'll keep it short!"

Hearing the old man's words, Chen Xuan was startled. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and waited for the old man's next words.

Seeing this, the old man stopped delaying and told Chen Xuan:

"My real name is Chen Feng. The grandfather you remember is actually a clone I left behind on the Tianyuan Continent. So, you are indeed my grandson."

"Tianyuan Continent?" Chen Xuan immediately understood after hearing the old man's words.

According to what grandpa said, he should be in two different worlds now. The Tianxuan Continent that grandpa mentioned should be the world he is in now.

As if he could hear Chen Xuan's thoughts, the old man nodded and said, "As expected of my grandson, you are indeed smart!"

"That's right. The world you're in now is called the Tianxuan Continent. As for me, you only need to know that I've left Tianxuan. As for the rest, you'll know when the time is right."

"No!" Chen Xuan interrupted the old man. "Grandpa, none of what you said is important to me. Xuan'er just wants to know, Grandpa, are you...living well now?"

"Xuan'er..." After hearing Chen Xuan's words, even though Chen Feng had lived for countless years and experienced too many things, he still had a lot of thoughts in his mind. When he thought about the current situation of his body, the old man sighed in his heart, but still showed a calm look.

"Don't worry, my boy. Grandpa is doing very well now. Don't worry about me."

After saying this, the old man's figure suddenly dimmed a little. Seeing this, the old man shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Forget it, let's not reminisce about the past today. Next, Grandpa will tell you something serious, about where you and I are right now..."

The place where I am now...

As the old man finished speaking, Chen Xuan looked at the powerful monsters around him. If his grandfather hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten his current situation!

At this time, Chen Feng beside him spoke again:
"We are currently in the inner space of the black box I passed on to you."

"That black box?" Even though he had guessed it beforehand, Chen Xuan still found it hard to believe after Chen Feng revealed it.

Ever since I could remember, the only use of this black box was to support the legs of the table at home. If everything I saw before me was the scene inside the black box...

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan shook his head in self-mockery. Perhaps this was what it meant to be truly blind.

"Grandpa, what exactly is that black box?"
