Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

15: Tianyue Peak MasterFacing Wang Yan’s long saber, which was burning with raging flames, Chen Xu’s face remained completely calm.

He didn’t even retreat half a step, just stood quietly in place.

He once again pulled out a stack of Talismans from his embrace.

It wasn’t a Vajra Talisman, but another type of Talisman glowing with an earthy yellow light.

”Again?”

Seeing this, a hint of cruelty flashed in Wang Yan’s eyes.

In his opinion, this guy surnamed Chen was just a nouveau riche who relied on resources.

Aside from using Vajra Talismans to forcefully resist, he had no other abilities.

And his Blazing Fire Saber was precisely the nemesis of such defensive Magical Artifacts!

”Break for me!”

Wang Yan roared, his magical power pushed to its limit!

Visibly, the flames on the blazing long saber surged three feet, carrying the high temperature that could melt metal, and slashed down fiercely!

However, Chen Xu did not activate the Talismans to form a shield.

He just waved his hand casually.

More than a dozen earthy yellow Talismans instantly flew out.

But they didn’t fly towards him, but like a large net, directly enveloped Wang Yan in mid-air.

”Earth Binding Talisman!”

Chen Qingqing, who was restrained by Chen Xu, her pupils contracted, recognizing this type of Talisman.

This was a rather obscure auxiliary Talisman that could instantly draw upon the power of the earth to bind an opponent’s movements.

Although its effect on Foundation Establishment Cultivators was limited, its advantage lay in its instant casting, making it impossible to guard against.

Wang Yan obviously didn’t expect the opponent to use such a move; he only felt a tightening around his feet.

It was as if countless invisible large hands had emerged from underground, gripping his feet tightly.

His downward slashing motion suddenly paused.

In a battle between experts, victory and defeat are decided in an instant.

This pause, less than 0.1 seconds, had already determined his outcome.

Chen Xu moved.

He didn’t use any flashy Spells, but just pulled out another stack of Talismans from his embrace.

This time, it was the Vajra Talisman, shimmering with dazzling golden light.

A full thirty-plus Talismans!

”Go.”

Chen Xu lightly uttered a single word.

More than thirty Vajra Talismans transformed into a golden torrent.

Without any skill.

They just unreasoningly smashed down on Wang Yan, who was momentarily trapped by the Earth Binding Talisman!

”No—!”

Fear appeared in Wang Yan’s eyes.

He wanted to break free, he wanted to dodge, he wanted to summon a body-protecting Magical Artifact.

But it was all too late.

”Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A series of dense, teeth-grinding impact sounds rang out.

Wang Yan’s protective spiritual light, under the impact of the first wave of five Vajra Talismans,

shattered like an eggshell.

Immediately after, the remaining twenty-plus Vajra Talismans

all solidly slammed into his body.

Wang Yan couldn’t even let out a scream; his entire body was hit head-on.

His sternum instantly collapsed, and his magical robe shattered inch by inch.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out of his mouth.

His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Then he heavily smashed against the mountain wall dozens of feet away, slowly slid down, and slumped to the ground, becoming a pile ofmud (mud), his life or death unknown.

The surrounding air was dead silent.

Wang Yan’s remaining few followers stood dumbfounded.

The blood drained completely from their faces, and their legs trembled like sieves.

What did they see?

A Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, using less than fifty Talismans combined!

In just a dozen breaths!

Turned a Foundation Establishment Second Layer Inner Sect Disciple into a half-dead pile of mud?

Even Chen Qingqing looked at Chen Xu with the gaze of someone seeing a monster.

She knew Chen Xu was doing well after descending the mountain!

But what she thought of as ’doing well’ was worldly wealth.

She had never imagined that a person could be so rich.

This fighting style was simply unheard of, unseen!

In this eerie silence,

several figures slowly emerged from the mountain path not far away.

Leading them was a refined young man in a moon-white robe.

Behind him followed several men and women with equally extraordinary auras, clearly all elite Disciples of the Inner Sect.

They had actually been watching here for a while.

”Senior Brother Yu, isn’t that Senior Sister Chen Qingqing? I heard she was at Lone Eagle Ridge...”

A female Cultivator looked at Chen Qingqing’s legs, which were wrapped in Magical Artifacts, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

The young man called Senior Brother Yu nodded, his gaze complex: ”It’s a loss for our Sect. If not for that accident, with her Aptitude, she would have entered Golden Core within ten years.”

Another Disciple pointed at Chen Xu, his face full of disbelief: ”Who is that Qi Refinement Stage Junior Brother? That last attack, he must have thrown out at least two hundred Spirit Stones, right? My father’s annual salary isn’t even that much!”

”Extravagant, too extravagant...”

”What I’m more curious about is, where did he get so many Talismans? High-quality Vajra Talismans and Earth Binding Talismans are always in high demand but short supply in the market.”

Senior Brother Yu’s gaze also fell on Chen Xu.

There was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

He looked at the mud-like Wang Yan on the ground, frowned slightly, and finally spoke, saying loudly: ”Wang Yan used his power to bully others; he brought it upon himself.”

”But infighting among fellow Disciples is, after all, a major taboo for the Sect. This Junior Brother, your actions were perhaps a bit too heavy-handed.”

Wang Yan’s followers felt as if they had been granted a general pardon; one of the bolder ones immediately plucked up courage and shouted: ”Senior Brother Yu! You must uphold justice for us!”

”This madman openly committed violence, seriously injuring Senior Brother Wang, completely disregarding the Sect rules!”

Chen Xu turned his head and calmly looked at this Senior Brother Yu who had suddenly appeared.

Late Foundation Establishment Stage, solid Foundation, extraordinary demeanor.

Clearly a core figure in the Inner Sect.

Chen Xu did not speak, merely helped Chen Qingqing steady herself, letting her lean against a nearby rock.

Chen Qingqing, however, spoke coldly: ”Senior Brother Yu’s words are wrong. Wang Yan was the first to attack, intending to cripple my companion. My friend here was merely acting in self-defense.”

”How can you say he was too heavy-handed? Is it only permissible for Wang Yan to injure others, but not for others to fight back?”

Senior Brother Yu saw the coldness in Chen Qingqing’s eyes, was slightly startled, and then smiled bitterly: ”Junior Sister, I didn’t mean that. I just...”

”You don’t need to say more.”

Chen Qingqing interrupted him, ”You and I are no longer Senior Brother and Junior Sister. My affairs have nothing to do with you.”

Senior Brother Yu’s face stiffened, a hint of guilt and sadness flashing in his eyes.

He knew that Chen Qingqing was still brooding over the incident from back then.

If he had been more cautious in that battle at Lone Eagle Ridge,

perhaps the subsequent tragedy would not have occurred.

He sighed, no longer arguing with Chen Qingqing, but turned his gaze to the followers, his expression darkening: ”You few, why aren’t you taking Wang Yan and getting out of here? Do you still want to stay here and make a fool of yourselves?”

”Go back and tell Wang Jiazhu that I allowed his younger brother to be taken away. If he has any grievances, he can come to Tianquan Peak to find me, Yu Yi.”

”Yu... Yu Yi? Senior Brother Yu, the Head Disciple of Tianquan Peak?”

When those followers heard this name, they were scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The Head Disciple of Tianquan Peak, the number one Inner Sect Disciple, the Sect Master’s personal Disciple!

Let alone Wang Jiazhu, even if their grandfathers came, they wouldn’t dare to be presumptuous in front of Yu Yi.

The few of them didn’t dare to utter another sound, hurriedly and clumsily lifted the mud-like Wang Yan, and scrambled away from the scene.

A commotion thus subsided.

Chen Qingqing cupped her hands towards Yu Yi, her tone still distant: ”Thank you.”

”It was nothing.”

Yu Yi looked at her, and finally couldn’t help but say: ”Junior Sister, about the matter back then...”

”It’s all in the past.”

Chen Qingqing interrupted him again: ”I am no longer a Qingyun Sect Disciple; the past is the past, no need to bring it up again.”

With that, she no longer looked at Yu Yi, but turned to Chen Xu: ”Let’s go.”

Chen Xu nodded, supporting her, and prepared to leave.

Just then, a cute and pretty female Cultivator in a goose-yellow dress, standing behind Yu Yi, suddenly walked up quickly, her bright, curious eyes sizing up Chen Xu.

”Senior Brother, please wait.”

Chen Xu stopped.

”My name is Wu Xiaoxiao.”

The female Cultivator introduced herself with a smile: ”Senior Brother, those Talismans you just used were so amazing! Did you draw them all yourself?”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Yi, but also the other elite Disciples behind him showed surprised expressions.

They all thought Chen Xu was a Disciple of some Cultivation Family, able to spend so lavishly only because of his Family’s wealth.

But Wu Xiaoxiao’s implication was that these Talismans were actually refined by him?

A Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator, able to refine such quality and quantity of Talismans?

How was this possible!

Chen Xu glanced at Wu Xiaoxiao, and nodded faintly: ”Just drew them for fun.”

”Wow!”

Wu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up even more, as if she had discovered a new continent: ”Then you’re a Talisman Master, right? Senior Brother, what’s your name? Which mountain peak are you from?”

”Chen Xu, Outer Sect Disciple, no mountain peak.”

”Outer Sect Disciple?”

This time, everyone was shocked.

A Talisman Master who could casually produce dozens of high-quality Talismans and treat a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like a sandbag, was actually just an Outer Sect Disciple?

This was even more unbelievable than Wang Yan being severely injured.

Yu Yi’s gaze towards Chen Xu also changed slightly.

From scrutiny, it turned to solemnity and importance.

Why would such a talent be buried in the Outer Sect?

”Alright, we should go.”

Chen Xu didn’t want to get entangled further, so he supported Chen Qingqing, manipulated his Flying Sword, and transformed into a streak of light, quickly departing.

Only a group of Inner Sect Prodigies were left, looking at each other in dismay.

”Senior Brother Yu, this Chen Xu... he’s not simple.”

”More than not simple, he’s a monster!”

Yu Yi looked in the direction Chen Xu disappeared, remaining silent for a long time.

In his heart, however, he had already secretly decided to thoroughly investigate Chen Xu’s background... Wu Xiaoxiao bid farewell to Yu Yi and the others, excitedly returning to her own mountain peak—Tian Yue Peak.

Tian Yue Peak is one of the seventy-two main peaks of Qingyun Sect, with beautiful scenery and abundant Spiritual Qi, it is the Immortal Cave of a Golden Core Elder within the Sect.

As soon as Wu Xiaoxiao landed, she saw a beautiful woman in a plain white palace dress, with a serene temperament like the moon in water, standing by the cliff in front of the Immortal Cave, gazing at the distant sea of clouds.

”Master! You’re back!”

Wu Xiaoxiao ran over cheerfully.

The beautiful woman turned around, a gentle smile appearing on her serene face: ”Yes, I just returned after suppressing that evil Dragon of White Dragon Lake.

Why are you so happy today?”

This beautiful woman was none other than the Master of Tian Yue Peak, one of the youngest Golden Core Elders of Qingyun Sect, Liu Jingyao.

”Master, let me tell you, I met a super interesting person at Scarlet Cloud Peak today!”

Wu Xiaoxiao immediately, like offering a treasure, recounted everything that happened at the foot of the mountain today, with added embellishments.

”That Junior Brother named Chen Xu, he’s simply divine!”

”He’s only in the Qi Refinement Stage, and with just a wave of his hand, whoosh, dozens of Vajra Talismans! He smashed that Foundation Establishment Second Layer Wang Yan to the ground!”

”You didn’t see it, Wang Yan’s expression at the time was like he’d seen a ghost!”

Liu Jingyao listened quietly, a faint smile on her face, taking it as her Disciple telling some amusing anecdotes.

But when the name Chen Xu came out of Wu Xiaoxiao’s mouth,

the smile on her face paused slightly.

This name... sounded somewhat familiar.

”Master, don’t you think it’s strange? Such a powerful Talisman Master is actually just an Outer Sect Disciple! I even want to bring him to our Tian Yue Peak!” Wu Xiaoxiao was still excitedly talking.

Liu Jingyao, however, fell into distant memories.

Chen Xu... more than seventy years ago, when she was just a young girl who had just entered the Inner Sect.

She seemed to have known an Outer Sect Disciple named Chen Xu.

That young man had ordinary Aptitude, but a very stubborn personality.

They used to be very good friends, doing missions together, discussing the Dao under the moon.

It was just that later, due to differing philosophies, they had a big argument and parted ways ever since.

”Those with different Daos cannot plan together.”

These were the last words he said to her.

Since then, she had never seen him again.

”Songyue, how old is that Chen Xu you mentioned? What does he look like?”

Liu Jingyao suddenly asked.

Wu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment: ”He looks to be in his thirties, quite ordinary-looking, but his demeanor is very steady, not like an Outer Sect Disciple.”

Thirties?

The ripple in Liu Jingyao’s heart instantly calmed down.

It seemed to be a case of the same name.

Decades had passed; if the Chen Xu from back then was still in the Qi Refinement Stage, his Lifespan would have long run out, and he would have turned into a mound of yellow earth.

For some reason, thinking of this, a trace of inexplicable loss and concern arose in her heart.

Alas, it was just a fleeting connection from her youth.

Liu Jingyao suppressed the thoughts in her mind, and was about to give her Disciple some guidance on her Cultivation.

But that name, like a curse, lingered in her mind.

What if?

What if... it was him?

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

Liu Jingyao was silent for a moment, then said to Wu Xiaoxiao: ”You Cultivate on your own, I will go out for a while.”

With that, her figure flickered, and she disappeared from where she stood.

Liu Jingyao did not go anywhere else, but went directly to the Outer Sect Affairs Hall.

With her identity as a Golden Core Elder,

she easily met Elder Qian, who was responsible for managing the Outer Sect Disciple files.

Elder Qian was a white-haired old man with the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivation.

He had spent his entire life in the Outer Sect and was a senior figure within the Sect.

”Elder, what brings you here? Is there something important?”

Elder Qian asked politely.

”Elder Qian, I’m here to inquire about someone.”

Liu Jingyao got straight to the point: ”An Outer Sect Disciple named Chen Xu.”

”Chen Xu?” Elder Qian heard this, and a strange expression appeared on his face, ”I wonder which Chen Xu Elder Liu is asking about? We have quite a few people named Chen Xu in the Outer Sect now.”

Liu Jingyao was startled: ”Quite a few?”

”Yes.”

Elder Qian stroked his beard and smiled: ”This is all thanks to the old Chen Xu. He himself isn’t much, but his ability to have sons is top-notch.”

”The old one?”

Liu Jingyao’s heart skipped a beat.

”Yes, the one who joined the Sect seventy or eighty years ago.”

Elder Qian had a matter-of-fact expression, ”Elder Liu must be asking about him, right? Speaking of which, this person is also a strange tale in our Qingyun Sect.”

”He failed Foundation Establishment not long after joining, then went down the mountain to marry and have children. It was thought his path to immortality was cut off, who would have thought...”

Elder Qian clicked his tongue in wonder: ”Not only is he alive and well, but he also started a Family and had more than a dozen children! Starting from more than ten years ago, he has successively sent his children with Spiritual Roots into the Sect.”

”Now, he already has several children who have joined our Qingyun Sect, and each of them is a good seedling! Especially the one named Chen Daoxuan, with Medium Grade Profound-level Aptitude, he reached Great Perfection of Qi Refinement Stage at only seventeen years old. Even the Sect Master was alarmed, saying he was a rare genius seen only once in five hundred years!”

”So, thanks to him, there are now several young people in the Outer Sect who want to catch his good fortune and change their names to Chen Xu.”

Liu Jingyao didn’t hear a single word of Elder Qian’s later remarks.

In her mind, only the words ”married and had children,” ”more than a dozen children,” and ”several children joined the Sect” echoed repeatedly.

Her

Golden Core Dao Heart, which had long been as calm as an ancient well, trembled slightly at this moment.

She had imagined countless possibilities.

Perhaps he had long since died of old age.

Perhaps he had luckily achieved Foundation Establishment and was barely surviving in some corner.

But she never, ever expected that her stubborn friend from back then

had not been worn down by time.

Instead, in a place she couldn’t see, he was thriving and flourishing, spreading his branches and leaves.

He had even established theprototype (prototype) of a Cultivation Family!

Liu Jingyao didn’t know how she left the Affairs Hall.

When she dazedly returned to the top of Tian Yue Peak,

looking at the surging sea of clouds before her, the stubborn face of that young man from back then appeared in her mind.
