Chapter 1417 648: Emperor Realm Perfection! (Part 2)

The mother's status elevates due to the child, and both major families received generous rewards from Chen Yunze.

However, Su Wanqiu decided to let their mother raise the two children herself and chose to do so in the Imperial Palace.

Both of them also personally stayed in the Imperial Palace for a period of time.

...

Three years later.

Chen Sheng and Chen Jin almost simultaneously reached the Peak of Double Eight in their training, escaped from the Imperial Palace, and returned to the Molan Mansion.

Their children were also taken back by them.

Within the Three Judicial Departments.

The two drank wine for three consecutive days, as the days inside were truly too harsh.

Moreover, they had to suffer Brother Xuan's brutal beatings daily.

It's simply an inhuman existence.

"Hey, are we just like our father now?"

Chen Sheng suddenly spoke.

"Brother, if you're itching for trouble, just say it, but I'm not itching."

Chen Jin was speechless.

How dare he think this way... Is he really unafraid of getting beaten?!

Xiaoqi and Chen An reached the Peak of Double Eight years ago, and their talent was far superior to these two brothers.

"Hehe..."

Chen Sheng grinned, "I was just thinking, just thinking..."

....

After that, the two didn't train for a long time.

They completely relaxed.

Every day they handled the Three Judicial Departments' affairs, and then visited Prince Xuan's Mansion to play with the two little ones.

The two little ones were also growing up day by day.

In the blink of an eye, they became graceful young man and lady.

However, their talent for training was indeed quite average.

Neither Chen Sheng nor Chen Jin cared much about this; not everyone can have extraordinary talent forever, or that would be truly abnormal.

In Qiuyuan.

Su Wanqiu and Ning Xin sat on the grass.

"It's been so many years!"

"Sigh!"

Su Wanqiu's sigh contained her longing for Brother Xuan, and it wasn't just her; the other women felt the same.

"Sister, how much longer until Brother Xuan finishes his retreat?"

Su Yun leaned against her, her eyes full of Brother Xuan's image.

"A hundred years... sigh!"

"I don't even know if he'll finish on time!"

This was Su Wanqiu's biggest concern; a hundred years was just the minimum.

"Mother..."

At this moment, two figures arrived at Qiuyuan, precisely Chen An and Xiaoqi who were in retreat.

The two finally stepped into the realm of Pseudo Emperor.

"Out of retreat!"

Su Wanqiu waved at them.

Chen An sat in front of her, while Xiaoqi sat beside Lan Meng'Er.

"You seem somewhat thinner."

Lan Meng'Er looked at Xiaoqi, filled with distress.

"Not really..."

Xiaoqi smiled and said, "Just an illusion, I'm much stronger than before."

Indeed, in their mother's eyes, years of absence made her feel her son had suffered.

Heartache.

Su Yun felt the same.

"Rest well for a while; rushing in cultivation is not good."

"Mom..."

Chen An said helplessly, "Before father went into retreat, he gave us a task. We must reach the Emperor Realm before he finishes."

He also wasn't willing!

Retreat is tedious and difficult; he's fine, but Xiaoqi really can't sit still any longer.

This time leaving retreat was Xiaoqi's idea.

He was truly fed up, but dared not leave easily, so he persuaded him to accompany him.

Feeling sympathy for him.

Even if Brother Xuan wants to punish, the two brothers will face it together.

"You decide then, as if mom said nothing."

Regarding Brother Xuan, even Su Yun felt nervous.

"Uh—"

Chen An displayed a smile more painful than crying, Xiaoqi also shook his head helplessly.

"Rest for a few days as well, balance work and leisure."

Su Wanqiu eventually felt pity for the two brothers, of course only she dared to say this.

"A month!"

After thinking, she added.

The following day!

Both Chen An and Xiaoqi tested Chen Sheng and Chen Jin personally.

The results are predictable.

Both were beaten black and blue, unable to defend at all.

"Dad... be gentler with your hits!"

Chen Sheng looked helplessly at Xiaoqi, his prominent cheekbones twitching, not a single part of his body in good condition.

As for Chen Jin, he wasn't much better.

Unfortunate brothers.

"Transfer the Three Judicial Departments and join us for retreat in a month."

Chen An looked at the two.

They had reached the Peak of Double Eight, about time to train in Supreme Dao Skill.

This was the result he and Xiaoqi had discussed.

Brother Xuan had been in retreat, the strongest in the family were just them two, a crucial consideration.

And the two young ones were slacking their days away, as Liu Xin mentioned.

So the two planned to take them along for training.

"Ah—"

Chen Sheng was immediately reluctant, "Dad..."

He wanted to say more, but Xiaoqi already raised a fist, instantly silencing him.

A fist is always more effective than words!

Disobedience or complaints, a beating naturally resolves everything.

In a month.

The two brothers were forcibly taken into retreat.

...

On the branches of the World Tree.

Brother Xuan slowly opened his eyes, his expression somewhat confused, "How long has it been?"

He asked himself.

Here, you can't feel time passing at all; if not for the stupor, he'd still think it was moments ago.

Slightly looking up!

The leaves of the World Tree emanated a faint green aura, akin to bathing.

"So that's it!"

He murmured, under the green aura, his enlightenment sped up severalfold.

"Time to return!"

Having fully comprehended, there's no need to stay here anymore.

But just as he prepared to return.

He noticed the dark space brightening, increasingly so.

He followed the light.

Somewhere far away, a blazing sun roared with energy, even from here, Brother Xuan sensed a scorching energy.
