It was a calm journey. After displaying his magical powers on the ship, Chen Xu intimidated everyone else. They looked at him with fearful eyes and avoided him like a snake.

Chen Xu enjoyed the peace and quiet, constantly reading the Sun Gold Sutra. However, he regretted that the sentence never appeared again.

After disembarking, Chen Xu used a small spell to erase passengers' memories of him. He became like a shadow - no one had seen or remembered him.

"Where are we going now, teacher?" Sulaiman asked as he looked at this bustling city with confusion.

Cairo was poor and dirty; Berlin was desolate and filled with despair. Shanghai, on the other hand, was prosperous and lively with people coming and going everywhere.

"London is probably similar," Sulaiman thought to himself.

"We need to find somewhere to stay first."

Even priests get tired - Chen Xu's energy wasn't infinite. Deciphering the Sun Gold Sutra consumed too many brain cells for him so he urgently needed somewhere to rest properly.

However, since Chen Xu wasn't familiar with Shanghai yet, he let Sulaiman find someone who seemed like a fashionable Chinese person as their guide.

Whether it was before or after time travel, he was unfamiliar with this city known as "the Magic Capital".

"Are you here for sightseeing or something else?" The guide seemed talkative and started chatting non-stop when they met Chen Xu.

His pronunciation of syllables differed slightly from modern times but Chen Xu could still understand what he said somewhat reluctantlyly .

"Just doing something." replied Chen Xu

What he wanted to do was liberate this land from foreign hands and return it to China's nationhood descendants of Yan Huang

"I don't know what you're doing? Investing in factories or trading? It's great investing in factories nowadays; many foreigners are doing it." The guide said excitedly, continuing to talk non-stop.

"I suggest you start a match factory. The foreign match market is huge and always in short supply. If you start production, you can make money as soon as it's launched - it's definitely profitable."

"And I happen to know of a match factory that is about to switch over to producing foreign matches. If you're interested, we can negotiate the deal."

"To be honest, if his family hadn't had some problems, he wouldn't have sold such a lucrative business like the match factory. It's really a big pie."

"It must be a trap." Chen Xu sneered inwardly and interrupted him,"Okay, we just want to find an inn and rest for now since we've just disembarked from the ship and are tired."

"Oh okay." Upon hearing that Chen Xu wasn't interested in the match factory idea, the guide became somewhat distracted.

He led Chen Xu to an inn where they stayed for the night before taking their money and leaving without any intention of staying on as their guide.

"Teacher, did I choose the wrong person?" Sulaiman felt embarrassed seeing how that guide acted.

"It's alright; none of us are familiar with this place so encountering something like this is normal." Chen Xu guessed that person was probably not really a guide but rather someone who worked for foreigners temporarily.

"I'll take a rest first." Chen Xu sat cross-legged with the Sun Golden Scripture placed between his legs.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

He valued the Sun Golden Scripture more and more. Compared to the power of the Undead Black Scripture, the knowledge contained in the Sun Golden Scripture seemed infinitely vast. The more he read it, the smaller he felt, like an ant standing in the center of the universe, observing endless stars.

So he became even more eager for knowledge. He wanted to fill his brain with knowledge and use his infinite mind to fill up infinite knowledge. Even if it was as vast as the universe, he would store it all in his mind.

When Sulaiman saw that his teacher was resting, he waited for a while but found it boring and quietly left.

After leaving the room and hotel, walking on streets filled with people coming and going made him feel happy. He had never seen so many people or such clean streets before. Seeing so many people with skin color similar to his teacher's made him dizzy for a moment; he couldn't help but get lost among them after a while.

He became anxious because when he was young, he always stayed close to his parents' side or near his teacher even when doing things outside. Now that he couldn't find his teacher anymore, he worried that if they missed each other upon waking up from their nap later on then maybe anger or scolding would follow from either party.

Chen Xu is very strict with him because he sees him as his heir and wants to train him. Once he makes a mistake or even performs poorly, Chen Xu will scold and punish him. He either uses a stick to hit his palms or hits his head with a book, which hurts.

"What are you doing here, little kid?" A woman in ancient Chinese clothing asked.

"I'm not a little kid." Sulaiman disliked the title, although it was true.

"As a priest who worships the gods, we don't have an age difference."

"Priest." The woman's beautiful eyes rippled. "Can you tell me what kind of priest you are?"

"What!" Sulaiman's eyes flashed with caution.

"I'm asking what kind of priest you are!" The woman's voice struck directly at Sulaiman's soul. In confusion, Sulaiman revealed his origin: "I am an ancient Egyptian priest responsible for worshiping the gods."

"Why did your ancient Egyptian priests come to China?" The woman became more puzzled.

"I came with my master," Sulaiman said drowsily. "My teacher said that he wanted to find someone in China to end the current situation."

"Who is he looking for?" The woman felt uneasy recently and had a premonition that something was going to happen. So she came to Shanghai and met this strange foreigner.

Yes, a strange foreigner - in her eyes, foreigners all looked alike with one nose, two eyes and two ears just like ordinary Chinese people. But this foreigner had wailing spirits around him as well as spiritual light protecting him; some mysterious force surrounded and protected him.

"He must have gotten this power from his teacher!" From the words of this foreign little boy, she heard that he had a teacher. Thinking about that power, she felt it was possible that it came from his teacher.

"I don't know," Suleiman shook his head, his eyes lost in thought. "My teacher never told me. He only said that this was a great figure and once he resurrected, the foreigners who enslaved the descendants of Yan and Huang on Chinese soil would be destroyed."

"Emperor Qin Shi Huang."

"Please do not use confusing spells on my disciple. It will harm his soul."

The densely packed sacred beetles crawled on the ground, scaring away all pedestrians on the road. In an instant, only Chen Xu, Suleiman and this mysterious woman remained on the street.

The beetle swarm surrounded the mysterious woman like a black wave, squeaking.

"Teacher!" At this point, Suleiman also reacted with a red face. "I'm sorry..."

"No need to say more." Chen Xu's expression wasn't good either. "Madam, using such means against a child...don't you feel ashamed?"

"If you want to play with magic tricks then I'll play with you."

Chen Xu alternated between two scriptures in his hand - Sun Gold Scripture at the bottom and Undead Black Scripture at the top - while opening up Undead Black Scripture where magical power surged towards it endlessly through radiation from its text.

The sacred beetles received Chen Xu's command immediately and swarmed over like a dense black wave from all directions towards the mysterious woman.

"I have no ill intentions towards you," said the mysterious woman incessantly despite being opposed by Chen Xu.

"No matter whether or not you have ill intentions; your actions are facts! Hmph! If my disciple stagnates in spiritual cultivation because of this incident then I won't let you go!"

For a priest, spirituality is very important as there can be no setbacks in spiritual cultivation; otherwise one may lose control of their power eventually becoming monsters controlled by their own strength.

Without any hesitation or pause whatsoever,the black wave rushed towards the mysterious woman. She had no choice but to fight back.

She drew out a sharp sword and swung it repeatedly at the black sacred beetles, with its blade flashing everywhere, picking up each beetle one by one.

"If this is all the power you have then your death is already certain." Chen Xu forced her to use magic spells.

This woman looked exactly like in the movie he watched; he recognized her at first glance. They were destined to be opponents but not necessarily unable to cooperate.

However, before that, he wanted to see how strong she was.

"Don't disappoint me."
