Sleeping to Immortality: Getting Stronger One Nap at a Time!-Chapter 69 – Heavenly Pride Conference, Chen Changsheng: Am I the disciple of the Funeral Escort?

"Junior Ye Hensheng, greets the senior!"
In front of the vast Green Mountain stood a young man in a Taoist robe. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he cupped his hands in salute, seemingly visiting someone.
However, the vast Green Mountain gave no response to the young man's visit.
Seeing no response from the mountain, the young man seemed a bit anxious. But when he tried to step into the area ahead, he was stopped by a powerful formation.
Just as the young man was pondering a solution, a boy of about eighteen or nineteen suddenly walked out from the distant Green Mountain.
The boy carried a hoe, was barefoot, and wore a straw hat, leisurely walking towards a nearby thatched hut.
Seeing someone emerge from the formation, Ye Hensheng hurried forward and said.
"Brother, could you please inform the elder for me?"
Boy: ???
The stranger's words left the boy puzzled.
"Inform about what?"
"It's like this, my master has a connection with the senior here, and I've come to invite the senior to come out of seclusion."
Hearing this, the boy scratched his head and looked up and down at the stranger before him.
"Do you know the name of this senior?"
"I don't know, I only know that the senior is called the Funeral Escort."
Boy: ???
Ye Hensheng's words completely baffled the boy because the Funeral Escort was himself!
Yes, the boy before him was Chen Changsheng, who had lived a "watering egg" life for over 200 years.
Chen Changsheng had set up a formation, using the essence of heaven and earth, intending to revive a once-dead egg.
During this time, Chen Changsheng continuously watered it with spring water and Heaven-Mending Ointment.
Over time, Chen Changsheng, who was within the formation, was also imbued with the essence of heaven and earth, causing him to reverse age.
Although this couldn't extend a cultivator's lifespan, it could make the physical appearance younger, which was not a problem.
Faced with his increasingly youthful body, Chen Changsheng was quite troubled, as he didn't want to have a child's body.
So recently, Chen Changsheng built a thatched hut outside the formation to deal with this small problem.
But who knew that just as he came out, he would hear someone seeking an audience outside the formation, and they were looking for him.
The absurd thing was, they didn't recognize him.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng pondered.
Not many people knew he was hiding here, and most were old acquaintances.
If it was an old acquaintance seeking help, then this person should know his real name!
"May I ask your surname?"
Chen Changsheng tentatively asked, and Ye Hensheng cupped his hands and said, "My surname is Ye, and my name is Hensheng."
Ye Hensheng: (￣ェ￣;)
I feel like this name is full of malice towards me, but it should be a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence in the world, naming someone just to insult me?
"So it's Brother Ye, my apologies!"
"May I know who Brother Ye's master is? I've been living in this mountain for some time and am not very familiar with the outside world."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Ye Hensheng became serious.
From the beginning, he had noticed this boy; the formation here was not something ordinary people could break.
This boy could come and go freely, so there was only one truth.
Seeing that Ye Hensheng had guessed his identity, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and was ready to reveal his identity.
This situation was likely an old acquaintance seeking help, whether to help or not was another matter, but he needed to understand the situation first.
"Brother, I see you are dignified and impressive, you must be..."
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng nodded and smiled.
"That's right, I am..."
"The Funeral Escort's disciple, right!"
Before the words "Funeral Escort" were finished, Ye Hensheng interrupted Chen Changsheng.
Chen Changsheng: ???
Faced with this bizarre situation, Chen Changsheng hesitated for only a second, then decisively said.
"That's right, I am the Funeral Escort's disciple, Chen Changsheng."
"So you are the senior's esteemed disciple, I've heard much about you. Please, Brother Chen, inform the elder for me so I can meet him."
Upon learning that the boy before him was the legendary Funeral Escort's disciple, Ye Hensheng was overjoyed.
But Chen Changsheng casually said, "It's not impossible to inform you."
"But my master has ordered that no idle people are to be seen. You haven't told me who your master is, so it's hard for me to inform you."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's doubt, Ye Hensheng hurriedly said, "My master is from the Nightmoon Kingdom, the Wolf Emperor."
Upon hearing that it was Wanyan Yue's disciple, Chen Changsheng immediately understood where Ye Hensheng's name came from.
"So it's the Wolf Emperor senior! My master indeed has ties with the Wolf King."
"But I wonder why the Wolf Emperor wants my master to come out of seclusion?"
Hearing Chen Changsheng's inquiry, Ye Hensheng hesitated and said.
"My master instructed that this matter must be told to the senior in person."
"I see, then you should wait patiently. I don't know when my master will come out."
Saying this, Chen Changsheng carried his hoe and prepared to return to his thatched hut, seeing this, Ye Hensheng became anxious.
"Brother Chen, this matter is urgent, please inform the elder."
To Ye Hensheng's call, Chen Changsheng ignored it and continued walking towards the thatched hut.
"The Gathering of Geniuses!"
"The Central Court is about to hold a Gathering of Geniuses, and the senior's presence is needed."
Hearing the words Central Court, Chen Changsheng finally stopped.
"What Gathering of Geniuses?"
"The Gathering of Geniuses is a grand event held by the Kunlun Sacred Ground in the Central Court."
"This time, the event gathers many top geniuses from the Central Court, Western Continent, Eastern Wasteland, Northern Desert, and Southern Plains."
"The event has two purposes: first, to identify the divine source stones taken from the Sacred Ruins Forbidden Zone."
"Second, to discuss and plan the siege of the Central Court's villain, Wu Li."
After hearing Ye Hensheng's purpose, Chen Changsheng turned and said, "This matter, your master shouldn't come to my master!"
"The Gathering of Geniuses sounds like something for young people to participate in. My master and your master are of the same generation, how can they participate in such things?"
"Also, your master is not weak, even if it's to siege the Central Court's villain, it shouldn't be up to my master to act!"
Hearing this, Ye Hensheng immediately gave a bitter smile and said, "In theory, that's how it should be."
"But my master is currently in a closed life-or-death retreat, and the national teacher, Unbeaten Daoist, is also in retreat."
"Before retreating, my master gave me this address and asked me to invite someone. I don't know the specific situation."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng smirked, finally understanding what was going on.
This situation clearly showed that Wanyan Yue and Song Yuanshan wanted to slack off and let him be the protector.
