Chapter 5: A Hundred Years In a Flash
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At midnight.
Hong Fugui entered the villa from the back door and saw Cui Heng sitting on a chair in front with his back facing him.
He didn’t dare to say anything. He just knelt there and waited quietly.
After a long while.
Cui Heng shook his head lightly and sighed. “Since you’ve comprehended it, I’ll teach you some techniques.”
Hong Fugui was overjoyed when he heard that and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Sir!”
Cui Heng stood up and walked forward with his hands behind his back as he said, “Follow me to the study.”
He did not really want Hong Fugui to take that path.
But Hong Fugui was determined.
Hence, he used the meme from Journey to the West.
If Hong Fugui did not understand the meaning behind it, he would not mention the method to save the world anymore.
If Hong Fugui could comprehend it, it would be the will of the Heavens.
As for what he should impart, he had already thought about it.
If he wanted to change the world and feed all the ordinary people, that was undoubtedly the best method.
...
In the study room.
“You must understand that this is not a simple path.”
Cui Heng had his back facing Hong Fugui as he said calmly, “If you want everyone to have a full meal, you must first ensure that everyone has their own fields. Where would the fields come from? That is a question you have to consider…”
He was now narrating some basic concepts to Hong Fugui to build up the foundation of his ideas.
After breaking through to the Seventh layer of Qi Refinement realm, not only had his strength increased, his spirit had also become stronger.
His thoughts became incomparably clear and his memory was even more powerful. He could already recall all the books he had read on Earth.
Of course, the theories taught to Hong Fugui could not be completely copied.
After all, the world’s background was very different.
There needs to be some changes in certain areas for it to be more practical.
Cui Heng planned to compile these modified theories into a small booklet for Hong Fugui to study after he left.
The name of the book would be “Great Harmony Collection”.
The practice of great harmony of all things under the heavens!
Hong Fugui stood at the side and listened to Cui Heng’s theories. His heart was already in turmoil.
The ideas and insights contained in these theories were something he had never thought of or heard of before. It made him feel as if it was a ray of light cutting through the endless darkness!
Too formidable!
Mr. Cui is really too awesome!
The shock he felt now was even greater than ‘knowing’ that Cui Heng was a supreme existence that controlled many worlds!
However, Hong Fugui was too young in the end, so his knowledge was limited. He also didn’t study much. To him, the basic theories Cui Heng spoke of still had many things that were too difficult for him to understand.
Thus, he was often anxious and wanted to ask questions.
When Hong Fugui heard that Cui Heng would compile these theories into a book, he almost jumped with joy.
For the next five days, Cui Heng described the Dragon Slaying Art.
At the same time, he was compiling the Great Harmony Collection.
...
It was a sunny day.
Cui Heng prepared three gifts to send Hong Fugui off.
Anyone who accidentally fell into the Beginner’s Space through a spatial rift would be pulled back by the attraction force from their original world. They would return in at most 12 days.
Therefore, today was Hong Fugui’s last day here.
As he looked at the three gifts Cui Heng placed before him, Hong Fugui couldn’t help but be slightly dazed.
Time flew too quickly.
In these 12 days, he entered this paradise by mistake and met Master Immortal. He experienced a life that he did not even dare to think about in the past and even obtained the method to save the world that he dreamed of!
It was like a dream.
And now, he was about to wake up from this dream.
He had to face the miserable doomsday scene outside again!
The outside world was waiting for him to change it!
“Thank you Sir!” Hong Fugui bowed respectfully.
“It’s enough thanks for me if you can live well and die of old age.” Cui Heng waved his hand and pointed at the three items on the table beside him. “Keep these things well, they will help.”
These three items were the Great Harmony Collection, a small bundle of plant sprouts and a fine iron sword.
“Yes, Sir.” Hong Fugui carefully put away the Great Harmony Collection and looked at the sweet potato seedlings. “Sir, what is this?”
“These are the seedlings of sweet potatoes. After planting it, it can produce 10,000 catties of grain per mu,” said Cui Heng with a smile. This was an improved version of sweet potato seedlings from the Beginner’s Farm. Before being planted, it would not rot.
“Ten thousand catties of grain per mu?!” Hong Fugui’s eyes instantly widened when he heard this, and his face was filled with disbelief. If these words hadn’t come from Cui Heng, he wouldn’t even dare believe it.
How could there be such crops in the world!
This was definitely Immortal grain!
“If you’re really able to gain power, then you can plant these stalks. You’ll know when the time comes.” Cui Heng picked up the sword again and said, “This is something I gave you to protect yourself with. It contains some of my Dharmic powers, and it can be utilized nine times.”
Although the Dharmic powers contained in the sword was only at the Seventh layer of the Qi Refinement realm and was of no use against high-level Immortal cultivators, Hong Fugui could only focus on the battles in the mortal world if he wanted to replace the dynasties. He could not fight against the Immortal cultivators head-on.
Thus, this sword should be enough.
“Thank you, Sir…” Hong Fugui was extremely grateful to Cui Heng. He wanted to bow and thank him, but Cui Heng stopped him with his Dharmic powers.
“Being able to live to the end of your life is the best form of gratitude.” Cui Heng smiled.
“Yes, sir!” Hong Fugui nodded heavily.
...
12 days had passed.
Cui Heng saw Hong Fugui’s body light up with an extremely strong golden light, and he disappeared from the Beginner’s Space.
This was the power of the laws of a world.
With Cui Heng’s current cultivation, he was utterly unable to comprehend it.
He stood there for a while, looking up at the sky, then at the Beginner’s Hut not far away. Finally, he shook his head and chuckled.
“I’m alone again.”
...
Another 20 years passed.
Cui Heng’s cultivation realm had broken through to the Ninth layer of Qi Refining.
Compared to those geniuses, this cultivation speed was simply infuriatingly slow.
In many cultivation novels, they were not even qualified to be the cannon fodder that was slapped in the face by the protagonist.
However, the current Cui Heng was already used to this sort of cultivation state, and he wasn’t as impatient as before.
One step at a time. It was not bad to cultivate steadily.
30 years later, he successfully formed his Dao foundation and stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm after trudging forward step by step.
40 years later, he finally completed the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm cultivation in preparation to break through to mid-stage Foundation Establishment.
Time passed quickly. It had already been 100 years since Cui Heng transmigrated.
It had been 90 years since Hong Fugui had accidentally entered this place.
On this day, Cui Heng came to the Beginner’s Farm to collect food.
When he received a piece of beef tendon, he opened his mouth that hadn’t spoken for 30 years and chuckled.
“So many years have passed. I wonder if that kid has fulfilled his aspirations, and if he has passed away?”
At this moment, the sky that had not changed for 90 years suddenly rippled again.
