Yuan Zun-Chapter 2 Cang Xuan Heaven, the Great Zhou Dynasty

Yuan Zun - Chapter 2: Cang Xuan Heaven, the Great Zhou Dynasty

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The simple and unfamiliar room made Mu Chen feel a little confused. Where had he traveled to again?

The slight tingling sensation on his forehead made him realize that he was not dreaming.

After a moment, Mu Chen began to organize his thoughts. He was a time traveler. He was fired in his previous world. Then, while working in a barbecue restaurant, he was lucky (or unlucky) to encounter a walking 500,000 people. Finally, he exchanged one for one and traveled to this world.

Now he feels that he is about ten years old. His body has returned to youth. However, in his previous life, he was in his twenties and was not considered old.

'If the spring breeze has pity for flowers, can it allow me to be young again? I really want to be young again.'

'Since this is not soul travel, I did not see any symbolic information (people or objects), and I cannot be sure which world this is.'

He fell unconscious earlier and seemed to have been rescued by someone. He should be in the home of his savior now.

From the simple environment, it can be concluded that the savior's family is not wealthy; their home is even more shabby than the one he rented before.

"You're awake..."

A soft voice sounded, and Mu Chen's eyes lit up. He turned to look at the door. A girl in simple clothes with a thin frame pushed the door open and walked in, holding a wooden basin and a towel in her hands.

Placing the wooden basin beside the bed, the girl blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at Mu Chen curiously.

Mu Chen also gazed at the girl with curiosity. Although her clothes were simple and loose, they could not hide her well-developed figure.

She had fair skin, a straight nose, willow-shaped eyebrows, and almond-shaped eyes. A teardrop mole at the corner of her eye adds a unique charm. She is a very rare beauty.

The clothes one wears are secondary. This simple outfit can still showcase the girl's youthful vitality.

If ten is a perfect score, then, in Mu Chen's opinion, this girl's appearance alone is worth nine points or more. If she were to wear decent clothes, the score would surely rise even further.

He thought he had seen many young women in the big city, but compared to this girl, they paled in comparison; for example, none possessed that very rare aura.

"Um... thank you." Mu Chen averted his gaze slightly and expressed his gratitude sincerely.

He can imagine what might have happened had he not been brought back.

Being eaten by wild dogs, having one's kidneys chewed, being trampled by passersby...

Just imagining it made Mu Chen shudder. Fortunately, he had been picked up by a kind-hearted person.

"…It was my grandfather who saved you. You fainted at that time, and my grandfather brought you back," the girl explained.

"I see. I have some impression of you," Mu Chen replied.

"My name is Mu Chen, with 'Mu' as in 'Sanshuimu' and 'Chen' as in 'Xingchen.' What's yours?" After introducing himself, he inquired about the girl's name.

A girl with such beauty would undoubtedly not be an ordinary person. One could likely glean insights about this world from her name.

"My name is Su Youwei," the girl said softly.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in Mu Chen's heart. Su Youwei! So this is Cang Xuan Heaven's Great Zhou Dynasty. He had actually traveled to this world.

It was confirmed that this is not ancient China, but a realm where cultivation is possible.

Su Youwei, an important character in the Yuan Zun world, has excellent talent for cultivation. Although she looks ordinary now, her future achievements will likely astonish everyone.

"What's wrong?" Su Youwei looked at Mu Chen curiously. Was there something unusual about her name?

"Ahem, nothing. I just remembered something," Mu Chen replied, calming his inner emotions and attempting to make his voice as gentle as possible.

Traveling to this kind of world left him a little hesitant and confused about the future. Would he survive to the end?

In Cang Xuan Heaven, there is the Saint Palace, which is in cahoots with the Saint Clan. Outside Cang Xuan Heaven, there exists a Saint Clan with terrifying strength. The key issue is that the Saint Clan possesses gods.

Zhou Yuan will eventually become a god and destroy the Saint God, but Mu Chen is unsure if he can live to see that time. He might just become an ordinary person and perish along the way.

His body rejuvenating is likely an attempt to align with the laws of this world, suggesting he could practice cultivation.

In fact, the safest course of action would be to hide. As long as he stays away from the protagonist Zhou Yuan and exercises caution, he should be able to live a long time.

However, this is a world where strength is revered; laws are nearly nonexistent, and there are few constraints.

Killing for treasures often does not require cause. If one is unfortunate enough to be dragged into a conflict with a stronger individual, they might die instantly. It's considered lucky if one can leave with an intact body.

Mu Chen couldn't think of where to hide, but for the time being, there likely wouldn't be too many significant battles.

"Little guy, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?" An old man entered with a sickly pale face, clearly very weak.

Mu Chen guessed this was Su Youwei's grandfather. He must have suffered from a serious illness for the past few years. Su Youwei had sought medical treatment everywhere in the pouring rain. Finally, Zhou Yuan came to her aid, and Su Youwei remembered this kindness for the rest of her life.

"Grandpa, my name is Mu Chen. Thank you very much. Otherwise, I would probably still be lying there," Mu Chen sat up and bowed.

"Ahem, it's okay. I don't know where your home is, Mu Chen, or whether you have any family. I can help you notify them." The old man began to cough, and Su Youwei quickly patted the old man's back.

"Home?"

Mu Chen's eyes darkened at the mention of this word. To him, there was no such place as 'home' in this world.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here temporarily," the old man sighed slightly. Seeing Mu Chen's eyes, he thought he was merely a homeless child.

Su Youwei nodded. She was kind-hearted and felt a little sympathy for Mu Chen, so she was not opposed to the idea.

However... their family was already poor, and adding one more person would make life even more difficult.

"Thank you. I'm really sorry for the trouble. I will leave as soon as I find a place to stay," Mu Chen hesitated, realizing he was penniless now and had no other choice.

Once he got familiar with this place, Mu Chen might first search for a job, as he couldn't rely on charity alone, and then see if he could practice cultivation.

Riding on clouds and chasing stars and the moon—how could Mu Chen not yearn for that handsome and strong image?

In this world, where the strong prey on the weak, an ordinary person like him needs to acquire certain strength.

Even at the Heavenly Gate Realm, one could still strive to improve. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, that would be considered a top-notch powerhouse. Currently, the strongest should be an Alpha Origin Realm powerhouse.

"Haha, don't be anxious. Take your time," the old man smiled kindly.

It was just one child; having one more set of bowls and chopsticks wasn't a big deal and could even make the home feel livelier.

Mu Chen felt warmth in his heart. After he earned some money, he would take the old man to see a doctor so they wouldn't be looked down upon for being poor and then refuse treatment.
