Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 581 - The Nine-Year Vow

"You three, get up!"

After sighing, Shen Feng continued, "Comparatively speaking, Earth is indeed more suitable for your survival. Our meeting was a kind of fate; no need for too many words of gratitude."

After kneeling before Shen Feng for a long time, Xu Dong, Fatty Qian, and Wang Anxiong got up reluctantly, knowing that the next time they saw Shen Feng, who knew how many years would have passed? Perhaps they would never meet again in this lifetime.

Shen Feng was waiting for everyone in the manor to make their decisions. Regardless, he was going to leave Nine Dragons Mountain by tomorrow at the latest.

Night fell.

A full moon hung high in the sky.

Moonlight, like flowing water, poured down from the night sky.

At the foot of the mountain, leaders and powerful figures from various countries showed no intention of leaving; many of them had set up tents to rest.

Today, Shen Feng hadn't seen Shen Anmin, Xu Huifang, and the others. They must have stayed in their room all day without coming out, and he did not disturb them, understanding that his parents, Shen Anmin, and the others also needed some time to think.

Shen Feng sat in a courtyard of the manor, his eyebrows occasionally furrowing. This time, his breakthrough to perfect Foundation Establishment had caused him to lapse into unconsciousness for three full years.

For him now, time was of the essence. From when he first deduced that Lan Binghan's Lotus Heart had been taken until now, over a thousand years had passed in the Immortal Realm.

The Lotus Heart of Lan Binghan could only provide energy for the Demon-Sealing Tower for four thousand years, and there was really not much time left for him. Furthermore, with the complete destruction of the small world he had built in the Immortal Realm, he was also worried about his other disciples, as well as those friends who had followed him and shared life-and-death experiences with him.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!——"

Suddenly, clear footsteps echoed in the silent courtyard.

Shen Feng turned his head and saw it was the girl Tang Kexin, and he smiled, "Kexin, it's getting late, aren't you going to rest?"

He didn't ask her outright whether she wanted to leave Earth or not; after all, even he wasn't confident about keeping those close to him safe, since he could only walk on one of the stone paths alone.

Tang Kexin bit her lip and said, "Brother Shen Feng, Dad, Mom, and Grandpa Xu are waiting for you in the room."

Shen Feng was slightly startled, knowing that his parents and the others must have made their decision.

In his heart, he was hesitant; he very much wanted to take Shen Anmin and the others with him, yet he feared encountering unimaginable dangers once they left.

Following Tang Kexin, he came to the room of Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng, where Xu Nansheng, Xu Ziyi, and Xu Huifang were also present.

On the table in the room were laid out various dishes. Zhang Xuezheng and Xu Huifang, who were wearing aprons, must have just finished cooking.

Zhang Xuezheng smiled and said, "Feng, what are you standing there for? Come and sit down quickly!"

Tang Kexin pulled Shen Feng to a chair and he sat down.

Xu Nansheng personally poured Shen Feng a cup of alcohol and said heartily, "Feng, today we men must drink to our hearts' content. I never dared to imagine that my grandson could one day become the ruler of Earth."

As his words ended,

Xu Nansheng directly downed the liquor in his cup, but the heartiness on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a deep sense of reluctance.

The room went quiet suddenly.

A moment later,

Shen Anmin spoke, "Feng, this time we're not leaving Earth with you. We're old and don't wish to move. We know you must have important things to attend to upon your return to the Immortal Realm, and then you'll still have to expend energy protecting us. There's no need to make it so troublesome."

"When your mother and I thought we had lost you first, being able to see you again in our lifetime is already a blessing from heaven."

"You don't have to say anything to persuade us; our minds are made up. We all choose to stay on Earth."

Shen Feng didn't speak; he just quietly looked at Zhang Xuezheng and the others, clearly seeing tears flickering in the eyes of Shen Anmin and the rest.

Xu Huifang finally couldn't hold back her tears, flowing like a dam had burst. Sobbing uncontrollably, she said, "Feng, to hear you call me 'mom' just once in my lifetime, I am already fully content."

"Feng, this is the result we've agreed upon after discussion, we want to continue staying on Earth."

Shen Feng also felt a bit suppressed inside. He knew that Shen Anmin and the others secretly wanted to leave with him, but were afraid of causing him endless trouble.

Tang Kexin, sitting silently nearby, had a firm look in her eyes, leaving everyone unclear about what she was really thinking!

Before, Shen Anmin and Zhang Xuezheng had tried to persuade Tang Kexin, showing great concern for their goddaughter. With the departure from Earth, and not being able to follow the same path as Shen Feng, Tang Kexin might face life-and-death dangers.

Ultimately, Tang Kexin verbally agreed to stay on Earth.

As for Shen Feng.

They were certain that Shen Feng was determined to leave Earth, and they simply couldn't convince him otherwise. Besides, they were somewhat relieved about Shen Feng's strength.

Shen Feng knew that Shen Anmin, Xu Huifang, and the others were considering his best interest. This time, to leave Earth through the stone paths, he too was filled with uncertainty about the road ahead.

Having considered all factors,

Perhaps allowing Shen Anmin and the others to stay on Earth for the time being was the only good solution at the moment.

In the Immortal Realm, a thousand years pass, but on Earth, only a mere three years go by.

Moreover, he had to refine the Thousand Longevity Pill.

As long as he gave the Thousand Longevity Pill to Shen Anmin and the others, allowing them to add a thousand years to their lifespans.

A thousand years on Earth, how many years would that be in the Immortal Realm!

Shen Feng was absolutely confident that when he returned to Earth, Shen Anmin, Zhang Xuezheng, and the others would all still be alive.

Currently, there were still over two thousand years left until the Lotus Heart of Lan Binghan exhausted its energy.

Three thousand years in the Immortal Realm amounted to merely nine years on Earth, especially since that mysterious powerhouse had built so many departure paths on Earth.

Perhaps by then, Shen Feng might still be able to use these stone paths to return.

Just a matter of nine years.

Not too short, yet not too long either.

Shen Feng's expression turned extraordinarily firm and serious as he spoke, "Grandpa, uncle, dad, mom, Kexin, give me nine years. I need only nine years."

"After nine years, I will definitely return to Earth and appear before you all again."

"By the time I come back, I will surely possess the cultivation to reach the heavens, never to be separated from you again."

He took a moment to collect himself.

He continued, "Before I leave, I will extend each of your lifespans by a thousand years."

Upon hearing this,

Shen Anmin, Xu Huifang, and the others were suddenly stunned, their eyes shining with an incredulous light.

A thousand years of lifespan, what an astonishing figure!

They were also aware that the flow of time in the Immortal Realm was completely different from that on Earth. If they could increase their lifespan by a thousand years, then they were confident they could wait for Shen Feng's return.

Shen Anmin, Zhang Xuezheng, and the others said in unison, "Feng, we will wait for you here on Earth."
