While protecting Xu Shuyan, Ning Chen gradually recovers some of his cultivation. This story focuses on Ning Chen's shock and adjustment after returning from the cultivation world. His reunion with Xu Shuyan is full of dramatic conflict, while his extraordinary abilities are initially revealed, foreshadowing the subsequent conflicts among cultivators and the secrets of his family. --- Deep in the desolate mountains outside Qingzhou City, Ning Chen struggled to climb out of the rock face, his ancient robes tattered. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked up at the sky—the familiar sun, the familiar blue sky. "I'm really back..." Ning Chen murmured, his voice trembling with disbelief. Two thousand years of cultivation had passed, while only twenty years had gone by on Earth. This difference in the flow of time filled him with both relief and fear. Relief that his parents might still be alive, fear that he might have missed too much. The excruciating pain from the shattered Niwan Palace almost made him lose his balance, but Ning Chen gritted his teeth and forced himself to walk down the mountain. With each step, the remaining true essence in his body surged through his meridians, bringing excruciating pain. "I must find a place with abundant spiritual energy to heal first..." Ning Chen frowned in thought, surprised to find that the spiritual energy on Earth was even thinner than when he left. On his way down the mountain, Ning Chen saw the distant highways and city outlines, the skyscrapers even more densely packed and towering than he remembered. He looked down at his tattered clothes and waist-length hair, and gave a bitter smile. "Going into the city looking like this, I'll probably be mistaken for a madman." Ning Chen found a secluded spot, used the last bit of true energy to shorten his long hair to his ears, and washed his face and hands with spring water. He had no choice but to make do with his clothes. As evening approached, Ning Chen finally reached the edge of the city. He stood outside a convenience store and looked through the glass window at the digital clock on the wall—June 18, 2023. "Twenty years..." Ning Chen's heart clenched. "My parents should be in their sixties now." He couldn't wait to go home, but reason told him he had to find out what was going on first. Ning Chen took a deep breath, pushed open the convenience store door, and went inside. The young man behind the counter looked up and saw Ning Chen's attire, clearly taken aback: "Sir, are you... Cosplaying?" Ning Chen didn't answer, his gaze falling on the newspaper beside the counter—the Qingzhou Daily. The front page featured a business news article, and a familiar face in the accompanying photo made him shudder. It was Xu Shuyan, his high school girlfriend. In the photo, she was dressed in a professional suit, exuding a cold and aloof aura, cutting a ribbon at a business event. The headline read, "Xu Shuyan, the New CEO of the Xu Group, Discusses Corporate Transformation." "Could I borrow this newspaper?" Ning Chen's voice trembled slightly. The clerk gave him a suspicious look but still handed him the newspaper. Ning Chen quickly skimmed through the contents, his heart pounding faster and faster—the Xu Group was the company Xu Shuyan's father had owned back then. It seemed she had already inherited the family business. The newspaper also mentioned that Xu Shuyan was still unmarried and was hailed as "Qingzhou's Number One Ice Queen in the Business World." Ning Chen put down his newspaper and suddenly asked, "Do you know Ning Hai and Yang Mei?" "Ning Hai?" The clerk thought for a moment. "You mean the real estate tycoon who disappeared ten years ago?" Ning Chen was struck dumb, the newspaper slipping from his hand. "Disappeared? When did that happen?" "About... Ten years ago? I can't remember exactly, but it was quite a sensation at the time." The clerk observed Ning Chen's strange reaction. "Sir, are you alright?" Ning Chen barely managed to compose himself. "I'm fine... Thank you." He turned and left the convenience store, standing on the street, looking around blankly. His parents disappeared? Why? He had to find out immediately. But first, he needed to change his clothes, get some money, and... See Xu Shuyan. Night fell, and Ning Chen stood beneath the Xu Group headquarters building. With the keen senses of a cultivator, he quickly located the still-lit office on the top floor. With a light leap, Ning Chen floated up the thirty-plus stories of the building like a feather, landing silently on the terrace. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw the figure he had been longing for. Xu Shuyan was even more beautiful than in the newspaper, yet also more aloof. She was intently focused on the computer screen, her slender fingers tapping on the keyboard. Time seemed to have been exceptionally kind to her; though in her thirties, she looked no more than twenty-seven or twenty-eight, only her eyes held a sharpness and world-weariness unfamiliar to Ning Chen. Ning Chen gently tapped on the glass. Xu Shuyan jerked her head up, and when she saw the figure outside the window, her face turned deathly pale, and the coffee cup in her hand shattered on the floor. "You... Who are you?" She stammered, backing away and reaching for the phone on the table. Ning Chen used his true energy to unlock the French windows and pushed the door open: "Shuyan, it's me." Xu Shuyan froze, her pupils contracting sharply. Twenty years had passed, but Ning Chen's appearance had hardly changed; he still looked like that eighteen-year-old boy. "Impossible..." She shook her head, "Ning Chen has... Has..." "I'm not dead." Ning Chen took a step forward, "I'm back." Xu Shuyan suddenly grabbed a vase from the table and threw it at him: "Get out! Stop playing tricks here!" Ning Chen easily caught the vase, his brows furrowed: "Shuyan, I know this is hard to believe, but I really am Ning Chen. I can prove it—you have a heart-shaped birthmark on the back of your right shoulder, and during the summer vacation of our senior year of high school, by Qinghu Lake, you first..." "Shut up!" Xu Shuyan interrupted sharply, tears welling in her eyes, "Who are you? Why are you toying with me like this?" Ning Chen sighed: "The orange cat you raised is called 'Little Orange,' which I gave you for your fifteenth birthday. We agreed to get married after graduating from university, you would study business administration, I would study architecture, and then we would design our future home together..." Xu Shuyan's legs went weak, and she slumped into a chair, tears finally streaming down her face: "Twenty years... You disappeared for twenty years... And now you suddenly appear..." Ning Chen felt a pang of pain in his heart and stepped forward to comfort her, but Xu Shuyan pushed him away abruptly. "Don't touch me!" Her voice was hoarse. "Do you know what I've been through all these years? After your parents disappeared, everyone said you fled to avoid punishment! I... I..." Ning Chen was struck dumb: "What happened to my parents? Tell me!" Xu Shuyan wiped away her tears and looked at him coldly: "You really don't know? Twenty years ago, shortly after you disappeared, your parents' company fell into a financial crisis, and then they... Disappeared too. The police investigated for a long time and finally determined it to be a disappearance case caused by a debt dispute." Ning Chen clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms: "Who did it?" "Nobody knows." Xu Shuyan took a deep breath, "But there are many rumors, some say it's related to the Zhou Group." "The Zhou Group..." A cold glint flashed in Ning Chen's eyes. Zhou Tianhao, his arch-nemesis from high school, the heir of the Zhou Group. Xu Shuyan stood up, straightened her clothes, and regained her composure as a powerful businesswoman: "Whether you are the real Ning Chen or not, please leave now. Tomorrow is my father's 60th birthday, and I'm very busy." Ning Chen didn't move: "I need your help, Shuyan. I have nowhere to go right now." "None of my business," Xu Shuyan sneered. "When you abandoned everything and disappeared twenty years ago, didn't you think of me?" "I didn't leave voluntarily!" Ning Chen couldn't help but raise his voice, "I was... Never mind, you wouldn't believe me anyway." As the two were locked in a stalemate, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a sharp suit walked in: "Shuyan, I'll review tomorrow's schedule... Oh? And who is this?" The man was clearly taken aback when he saw Ning Chen's attire. Xu Shuyan quickly adjusted her expression: "Uncle Li, this is... This is the new security guard. He went to the wrong floor. I was just about to ask him to leave." The man called Uncle Li looked Ning Chen suspiciously: "Security guard? This attire..." Ning Chen lowered his head tactfully: "Sorry, I'll leave now." He gave Xu Shuyan a deep look, then turned and walked towards the elevator. Behind him came Xu Shuyan's deliberately lowered voice: "Check the security for tomorrow's birthday banquet again, especially the Zhou family..." The moment the elevator doors closed, a cold smile curled at the corner of Ning Chen's lips. The Zhou family... Very good, he will definitely be at tomorrow's birthday banquet. That night, Ning Chen meditated and regulated his breathing on a bench in the city park. The spiritual energy on Earth was desperately thin, but it was better than nothing. He had to recover some strength as soon as possible, at least to the point where he could cast simple spells. As dawn broke, Ning Chen opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air. After a night of hard work, he barely managed to stabilize his cultivation at the early Foundation Establishment stage. Although it was a far cry from his peak Nascent Soul stage, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary people. Ning Chen stood up and stretched his limbs. He needed a proper outfit for today's birthday banquet, and he also needed a suitable identity. At ten o'clock in the morning, the most luxurious Emperor Hotel in Qingzhou was bustling with cars and people. The Xu family patriarch's sixtieth birthday celebration had invited almost all the celebrities of Qingzhou's high society. Ning Chen, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, stood on the building opposite the hotel, looking down at the grand scene below. He had "borrowed" this suit—using a little trick to smuggle it out of the mall. He would definitely return it when he had the money. "The Zhou family has arrived." Ning Chen squinted and saw a stretched Lincoln parked in front of the hotel. Zhou Tianhao was helping an elderly man with white hair out of the car. That elderly man should be the founder of the Zhou Group, Old Master Zhou. Ning Chen lightly leaped down from the rooftop and landed in an empty alley. He straightened his tie and strode towards the hotel's main entrance. "Sir, please show your invitation." The security guard at the entrance stopped him. Ning Chen smiled slightly, a barely perceptible blue light flashing in his eyes: "I am Miss Xu's special guest, I don't need an invitation." The security guard's eyes suddenly became confused, and he nodded blankly: "Oh... Right, please come in." After easily entering the hotel, Ning Chen quickly located Xu Shuyan. She was wearing a dark blue evening gown and was talking with several business tycoons in the center of the banquet hall, her demeanor elegant and proper, showing no trace of her blunder last night. Ning Chen did not immediately approach her, but instead found a corner to observe the entire scene. He noticed that Zhou Tianhao's frequent glances at Xu Shuyan were filled with an unpleasant desire. "Looks like this bastard hasn't given up on Shuyan yet." Ning Chen sneered. The birthday banquet officially began, and Old Master Xu cut the cake amidst everyone's blessings. Ning Chen watched from afar as Xu Shuyan stood beside her father, forcing a smile, and felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew she must still be upset about last night. After a few rounds of drinks, Zhou Tianhao finally couldn't contain himself and approached Xu Shuyan with his glass in hand. "Ms. Xu, you look radiant today," Zhou Tianhao said with a greasy smile. "Would I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?" Xu Shuyan smiled politely but distantly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, I'm a little tired today." Zhou Tianhao persisted: "Don't be so cold, our two families have been cooperating for so many years..." His hand had already restlessly landed on Xu Shuyan's waist. Just then, a long, strong hand pressed on Zhou Tianhao's shoulder. "Sir, the lady has clearly declined." Ning Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it made the guests at the surrounding tables turn their heads. Zhou Tianhao frowned and turned around. The moment he saw Ning Chen, his pupils contracted sharply: "You... You are..." Twenty years had passed, but Ning Chen's appearance had hardly changed. Zhou Tianhao recognized his high school nemesis at a glance. "Ning Chen?!" Zhou Tianhao exclaimed, "Weren't you already..." "Dead?" Ning Chen sneered, "Looks like you really want me dead." The banquet hall suddenly fell silent, all eyes focused on the suddenly appearing stranger. Xu Shuyan's face turned pale, clearly not expecting Ning Chen to appear in this way. Old Master Zhou strode over: "Tianhao, what's going on? This is..." "Dad, he's Ning Hai's son! Ning Chen, who disappeared twenty years ago!" Zhou Tianhao's voice trembled, whether from anger or fear, it was hard to tell. A strange light flashed in Old Master Zhou's eyes, then he regained his composure: "So you're a child from the Ning family. Where have you been all these years? Your parents have been looking for you for a long time." Ning Chen keenly caught the fleeting panic in Old Master Zhou's eyes. He sneered inwardly, but remained polite on the surface: "I went abroad to study and just got back. I heard it's Uncle Xu's birthday today, so I came to offer my congratulations." Old Master Xu also approached, looking at Ning Chen with suspicion: "You are... Xiao Chen?" Ning Chen bowed deeply to Old Master Xu: "Uncle Xu, long time no see. Wishing you boundless happiness and longevity." Old Master Xu stared at Ning Chen in shock: "It really is you... You haven't changed at all..." This statement caused a stir among the crowd. How could someone who had disappeared for twenty years not have aged at all? Zhou Tianhao suddenly sneered: "Playing tricks! Who knows if you're an imposter! Security, check this guy's invitation!" Ning Chen remained calm: "Why is Mr. Zhou so agitated? Are you afraid I'll expose some secret? Like... The truth behind my parents' disappearance?" Zhou Tianhao's face changed drastically: "What nonsense are you spouting!" The atmosphere became tense. Xu Shuyan finally snapped out of her daze, quickly walked to Ning Chen's side, and took his arm: "Ning Chen is my invited guest. Mr. Zhou, please have some self-respect." This action stunned everyone. Xu Shuyan, the famous ice queen of Qingzhou's business world, actually took the initiative to link arms with a strange young man? Zhou Tianhao's face turned ashen: "Xu Shuyan, what do you mean? Our two families have..." "It's just a business cooperation, it can be terminated at any time." Xu Shuyan coldly interrupted, pulling Ning Chen and turning to leave. After getting away from the crowd, Xu Shuyan immediately let go of his arm and questioned him in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Appearing in public like this!" Ning Chen shrugged: "I helped you out of that situation, didn't I?" "I don't need it!" Xu Shuyan gritted her teeth, "Now everyone will be talking about it, and when the stock market opens tomorrow, Xu's stock price will..." Her words were interrupted by a commotion. The two turned around and saw Zhou Tianhao leading several bodyguards walking menacingly towards them. "Ning Chen, it's time to settle our score!" Zhou Tianhao grinned maliciously. "You escaped by chance twenty years ago, but you won't be so lucky today!" A cold glint flashed in Ning Chen's eyes: "Oh? What score?" "Playing dumb?" Zhou Tianhao pressed closer, "The debt your parents owed back then, today you'll pay with your life..." His words were cut short as Ning Chen suddenly grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground! The entire hall erupted in uproar! Zhou Tianhao, a burly man standing at 1.8 meters tall, was actually lifted up by a seemingly frail young man with one hand? "Ning Chen! Stop!" Xu Shuyan exclaimed. Ning Chen ignored her, coldly staring at the flushed Zhou Tianhao: "Tell me, where are my parents?" Zhou Tianhao struggled, his eyes filled with terror. His bodyguards rushed forward, but Ning Chen swept them all away with a flick of his sleeve, knocking over several tables of food. Chaos erupted in the banquet hall, screams filling the air. "Ning Chen! You'll kill him!" Xu Shuyan grabbed Ning Chen's arm. Ning Chen loosened his grip slightly, allowing Zhou Tianhao to catch his breath and speak: "Last chance, where are my parents?" "I... I don't know..." Zhou Tianhao said in terror, "They really just disappeared... It has nothing to do with our Zhou family..." Ning Chen stared into his eyes for a few seconds, confirming he wasn't lying, before disgustedly throwing him to the ground. "Get out. If I see you harassing Xu Shuyan again, I won't be so polite next time." Zhou Tianhao fled in a disheveled state, supported by bodyguards, glaring venomously at Ning Chen before leaving: "You just wait!" The birthday banquet was forced to stop. Old Master Xu solemnly led Ning Chen and Xu Shuyan to the VIP room. "Xiao Chen, what exactly happened to you?" Old Master Xu asked in a deep voice. "That move just now... It's not something an ordinary person could do." Ning Chen glanced at Xu Shuyan and said softly, "Uncle Xu, there are some things I can't say right now. But I assure you, I have no ill intentions towards the Xu family. I just... Want to find out the truth about my parents' disappearance." Old Master Xu sighed deeply. "What happened back then was very complicated. Your parents' company suddenly fell into a financial crisis, and then they... Disappeared. The police investigated for a long time, but there were no results." "Is it related to the Zhou family?" Ning Chen asked directly. Old Master Xu hesitated for a moment. "There's no direct evidence. But... Before your parents disappeared, they did have a business conflict with the Zhou Group." Ning Chen nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Xu. I'm sorry for what happened today, I've caused you trouble." Old Master Xu waved his hand. "Never mind. You and Shuyan... Have a good talk. Twenty years have passed, and many things have changed." After the old man left, only Ning Chen and Xu Shuyan remained in the VIP room, and the atmosphere froze for a moment. "Who exactly are you?" Xu Shuyan finally broke the silence. "A normal person couldn't lift an adult man with one hand, let alone knock down four bodyguards with a flick of their sleeve." Ning Chen smiled bitterly. "If I told you I transmigrated to a cultivation world and cultivated there for two thousand years, would you believe me?" Xu Shuyan stared at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed. "Twenty years ago, I would have said you were crazy. But now... I've seen it with my own eyes, I have no choice but to believe it." She walked to the window, her back to Ning Chen. "Do you know? All these years I've hated you. Hated you for leaving without saying goodbye, hated you for making me a laughingstock... But now it seems you really had no choice." Ning Chen walked behind her, wanting to reach out and touch her shoulder, but then withdrew his hand. "Shuyan, I swear, if I had a choice back then, I would never have left you." Xu Shuyan turned around, tears glistening in her eyes. "Twenty years have passed, Ning Chen. We've both changed. I'm no longer that silly girl waiting for you, and you're no longer that innocent boy." Just as Ning Chen was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly tackled Xu Shuyan to the ground! "Bang!" A bullet shattered the window, hitting the spot where Xu Shuyan had just stood. "Sniper!" Ning Chen shielded Xu Shuyan, quickly rolling to the corner. "Zhou Tianhao, that madman!" Xu Shuyan trembled in his arms: "He... He dares to fire a shot in the city?" Ning Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "It seems the Zhou family is even more lawless than I imagined." Police sirens blared outside the hotel. Ning Chen knew that from this moment on, he would be officially drawn into a storm—not only to uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance, but also to protect Xu Shuyan from harm. His greatest disadvantages were his still-healing injuries and this world that had become unfamiliar. - **Mysterious Organization**: The strange glint in Old Master Zhou's eyes and the appearance of the sniper suggested that the Zhou family might be backed by a more powerful force, possibly related to the mysterious organization that attacked Ning Chen. - **Cultivation Heritage:** Old Master Xu's calm reaction to Ning Chen's extraordinary performance suggests that the Xu family may also be aware of the existence of the cultivation world, and may even have its own cultivation heritage. - **Time Anomaly:** The huge time difference between Ning Chen's two thousand years in the cultivation world and only twenty years on Earth suggests that there is some kind of artificially manipulated difference in the flow of time between Earth and the cultivation world, which may hide a greater secret.

    Fellow cultivators, take note! A uniquely styled and wildly imaginative "cultivation" novel has been discovered—"A Fate of Immortality Born from a Hoe: Embarking on the Path to Immortality with Companions"! The protagonist, Chen Xun, and his ox brother (yes, you read that right, his companion is a giant black ox!) Are indeed immortal, but please note: immortality ≠ invincibility, much less indestructibility! The two's "immortal journey" begins surprisingly in a small mountain village, where they grow rice and raise chickens! They thought life was peaceful, but then Old Wang from the next village, lacking any sense of justice, led his fellow villagers on a dark and stormy night to completely wipe out their "immortal assets"—chickens, ducks, and rice! Immortal Chen Xun was furious: "Is there no law?! Is there no justice?!" (Inner monologue: Don't I, this immortal being, have any dignity?!) Fueled by rage, he grabbed a farmer's axe, grabbed his equally bewildered black ox, and stormed off to the next village to "demand justice." And the result? Wow! The scene was incredibly brutal! Outnumbered and outmatched, Chen Xun, the great lord, was brutally beaten by the mortals and spent several days recovering from his injuries! The most unbelievable thing was that his poor cow companion—its majestic horn—was forcibly "pulled off" by the villagers! (Brother Cow: Moo??? What did I do to deserve this???) The two (one human, one cow) fled in disarray. Chen Xun, lying on the kang (heated brick bed), uttered the most "cowardly" and wise saying in the world of cultivation: "We may be immortal, but we can also be killed. From now on, we should be more cautious." Folks! Who understands?! We've seen frustrated cultivators, but never such a down-to-earth, such "honest" immortal duo! A farming novel instantly turned into a "cultivating injustice" novel; failing to collect a debt only resulted in a beating, and even the cow's horn became enemy spoils! This isn't walking on air; it's clearly jumping around in the mud of the mortal world! Want to see how a master cultivator, while barely surviving, continues their chaotic (literally) journey of "farming and cultivating immortality" with Brother Broken Horn Bull? Want to see how a mudslide in the cultivation world "hoes" out an unconventional path to immortality? This book, *Immortal Destiny Born from a Hoe*, will absolutely make you laugh out loud!
