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

53: The inheritance is complete.Chen Daoxuan stood by, nervously watching his younger brother.

He could feel the aura around Chen Daochu rising at a terrifying speed.

It became increasingly profound and increasingly ethereal.

He knew his brother was undergoing a tremendous transformation. All he could do was wait quietly.

The starry sky had no sun or moon, and the Legacy knew no years.

He didn’t know how long had passed, perhaps three days, perhaps five.

The torrent of light pouring into Chen Daochu’s glabella finally thinned out, eventually disappearing completely.

Chen Daochu slowly opened his eyes.

In the depths of his eyes, it was as if wind and thunder intertwined, and stars were born and extinguished.

Moments later, all the anomalies receded, and his eyes returned to clarity.

In this Legacy, his cultivation had been forcefully pushed to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

He was only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

This wasn’t the most important thing.

The most important thing was that his mind now held the complete Legacy of a Purple Mansion Dao Lord.

What he lacked now was merely the time to convert this knowledge into his own strength.

”The Legacy is complete.”

The voice of Wind and Thunder Dao Lord rang out, but it was much weaker than before.

His body, composed of spiritual light, also became dim and transparent.

As if it could dissipate at any moment.

”My mission is also accomplished.”

He looked at Chen Daochu and finally admonished him: ”Remember your oath, the calamity of Qingyun Immortal Sect should be within a hundred years. At that time, the Sect’s survival will depend on your single thought.”

”Junior, I will bear it in mind!”

Chen Daochu solemnly bowed.

The Wind and Thunder Dao Lord nodded with satisfaction. He took one last look at the two brothers, and his figure transformed into specks of spiritual light, completely dissipating into the starry sky.

As he dissipated, this vast starry sky, maintained by the will of his remnant soul, also began to fluctuate violently.

Countless stars shattered, and cracks appeared in space.

”Brother, let’s go!”

Chen Daoxuan pulled his brother, and the two dared not linger for a moment, turning and rushing out of the collapsing White Jade Divine Hall.

They sped along the starlight bridge, heading quickly towards the entrance they came from.

The moment they rushed out of the Immortal Cave, a huge roar came from behind them, and the entire platform trembled violently.

That Immortal Cave, which held the Purple Mansion Legacy,

Along with that vast starry sky, it completely vanished into the Void Realm, leaving no trace.

The two brothers stood on the platform of the cliff.

Looking at the empty mountain wall before them, they both felt a sense of unreality, as if a lifetime had passed.

”Brother, we...”

Chen Daochu was about to say something but was interrupted by Chen Daoxuan.

”Let’s leave here first.”

Chen Daoxuan glanced at the sky: ”We don’t know how long we’ve been inside, the Secret Realm will probably close soon.”

The two followed the ropes, returning to the summit of Longevity Mountain at the fastest speed.

The summit was no longer as bustling as before.

Where the Nascent Soul Legacy Immortal Cave once stood, only a vast ruin remained.

Traces of the aftermath of battle and bloodstains still littered the ground.

Clearly, the struggle here had long ended.

”How long have we been inside?”

Chen Daochu asked.

Chen Daoxuan took out a Magical Artifact used for timing from his Storage Pouch, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly: ”Ten days.”

”Ten days!”

Chen Daochu was also startled: ”So, there are only five days left until the Secret Realm closes?”

”Hmm.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded, his gaze sweeping across the majestic Longevity Mountain.

”Brother, what do we do now?”

Chen Daochu asked.

Although he had obtained a tremendous Opportunity, subconsciously, he was still accustomed to following his brother’s arrangements.

Chen Daoxuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked at his brother: ”Dao Chu, can you sense the treasures in this Secret Realm now? Using that Senior’s Legacy.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Daochu closed his eyes.

The next moment, the Cultivation Technique of the Purple Mansion Wind and Thunder Scripture in his mind began to operate on its own.

A profound perception, centered on him, instantly spread out.

In an instant, the entire Longevity Mountain!

And even the more distant mountain ranges, swamps, rivers... the three-dimensional image of the entire Secret Realm appeared in his mind with unprecedented clarity.

This was thousands of times clearer and more precise than the Vein-Seeking Talisman his father gave him!

Countless light spots lit up in his ”vision.”

Those Spirit Medicine that everyone had been scrambling for earlier now appeared as insignificant fireflies in his eyes.

What was truly dazzling were the clusters of light hidden deep within restricted and forbidden areas.

Even the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Cultivator could not detect them.

”Brother...”

Chen Daochu opened his eyes, filled with shock and ecstasy: ”I... I can see! Everything! I can see all the Heaven And Earth Treasure in this Secret Realm!”

He pointed in several directions on Longevity Mountain: ”Over there, in a valley covered by an ancient illusion Formation, there are three Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng! Over there, in the molten core three hundred zhang underground, there’s a fist-sized piece of Crimson Gold Origin Copper! And also...”

Chen Daoxuan listened quietly.

The expression on his face gradually changed from initial calm to excitement.

He knew this was the most direct and effective benefit brought by the Purple Mansion Legacy!

”Good!”

Chen Daoxuan slapped his thigh, a fervent glint, uncharacteristic of his steady personality, flashing in his eyes: ”Five days! That’s enough! Dao Chu, let’s join forces, brothers, and empty this Secret Realm!”

Their goal was no longer those scattered so-called Opportunities.

But all the highest-value Heaven-Grade and Earth-Grade Spirit Medicine and Materials in this Secret Realm!

”Let’s start with those three Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng!”

The two wasted no time. After identifying the direction, they transformed into two streaks of light.

Speeding towards the valley covered by the illusion Formation.

With Chen Daochu’s knowledge of Formations, comparable to a Purple Mansion Dao Lord’s, in his mind.

The so-called ancient illusion Formation was full of loopholes in his eyes.

The two brothers easily passed through the illusion Formation.

And collected the three potent Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng into their Storage Pouch.

In the following days, the two brothers were like locusts with Heavenly Eyes.

Relying on Chen Daochu’s precise positioning.

They specifically sought out the deepest hidden and most valuable treasures.

The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Iron at the bottom of a ten-thousand-zhang deep pool... the Morning Dragon Grass in the center of a poisonous swamp... the Heaven-Tempered Lightning-Struck Wood in a thundercloud storm... one after another, Heaven And Earth Treasure that could cause Golden Core Cultivators to fight fiercely in the outside world.

Were easily collected into their Storage Pouch.

Their Storage Pouch.

Was filled at a terrifying speed.

On the third day, after they had completely excavated an entire High-Grade Spirit Stone vein and stuffed it into their Storage Ring.

The faces of the two brothers were filled with numb excitement.

”Brother, our harvest this time... isn’t it a bit too exaggerated?”

Chen Daochu looked at the small mountain of various rare Materials before him, speaking with some lack of confidence.

”This is just the beginning.”

”Our goal is to make the Chen Family the master of the Great Feng Dynasty! This much is far from enough!”

During their scavenging, they also encountered other Cultivators.

By a mountain stream, they personally witnessed seven or eight Disciples of Qingyun Immortal Sect.

Fighting fiercely over a High-Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword that had just been unearthed from an Immortal Cave.

Eventually escalating into a life-and-death struggle.

The light of Spells and splashing blood stained the mountain stream colorful and cruel.

In the end, only one Foundation Establishment Late Stage Disciple stood, covered in wounds.

He tremblingly put away the Flying Sword and everyone’s Storage Pouch.

His eyes were filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and a deep-seated greed.

The two brothers hid in the shadows, watching all of this indifferently.

”For a mere High-Grade Magical Artifact, they turn on their fellow Sect members.”

Chen Daochu shook his head, sighing: ”The Cultivation World is indeed cruel.”

”It has always been so.”

Chen Daoxuan’s gaze was very calm: ”When the benefits are great enough, so-called fellow Sect affection is worthless. We must seize the time to become stronger, so strong that everyone can only look up to us, covet us, but dare not harbor any ill intentions towards us.”

The two ignored that Disciple and quietly left... The two brothers had almost plowed through every valuable spot in the entire Secret Realm, their harvest was abundant.

Enough to make any Nascent Soul Sect envious and excited.

”Brother, time is almost up, we should head to the exit.”

Chen Daochu said.

”Hmm.” Chen Daoxuan nodded, just about to take his brother and leave.

Just then, in the distance, on the horizon.

A violent fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly came.

Several streaks of light were fleeing in a hurry, one after another.

Towards their direction.

And behind them, more than a dozen powerful streaks of light were in hot pursuit.

The leading few among them had powerful auras. They were all Cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment Stage.

”It’s Yun Zhan and Song Ren!”

Chen Daoxuan’s eyes instantly turned cold.

He recognized them at a glance among the pursuers.

Those two familiar figures.

”Is that... Xu Xinlong? The grandson of an Inner Sect Golden Core Elder?”

But the next moment, his brows couldn’t help but rise slightly.

And when he saw the group of people being chased.

His brows furrowed even tighter.

The leader of that group was a woman in a moon-white long dress, delicate and pretty.

It was Liu Feifei.

At this moment, her face was pale, and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

Clearly, she had suffered serious injuries.

”Brother, it’s Junior Sister Liu and them!”

The next moment, Chen Daochu’s voice suddenly rang out.

”I see them.”

Chen Daoxuan’s gaze was calm. He pulled his brother and hid behind a mountain hollow, concealing all their auras. ”Don’t move yet, let’s see what happens.”

As they concealed themselves.

Several other scattered streaks of light flew past in a hurry from a distance.

Clearly, they were also scared by the pursuit ahead and dared not approach.

The sound of their conversation drifted over with the wind.

”Hurry, hurry! It’s Xu Xinlong, Yun Zhan, and Song Ren! They’re chasing Liu Feifei!”

”Liu Feifei? How did she provoke those two evil stars?”

”You still don’t know?”

”The Immortal Cave of that Nascent Soul mighty Cultivator on Longevity Mountain, the final Legacy was obtained by Liu Feifei!”

”I heard it not only contains a complete Cultivation Technique but also a Heaven-Grade Spirit Medicine, the Water Cloud Immortal Fruit!”

”What? A Nascent Soul Legacy!”

”My heavens, no wonder... no wonder Xu Xinlong and Yun Zhan are chasing her like mad dogs. If they succeed, the top ten spots in the Sect Grand Competition will probably change hands.”

”Shh, keep your voice down! Those are more than a dozen Inner Sect elite Disciples, we can’t afford to provoke them, let’s go quickly!”

The voices faded, and Chen Daochu’s face had grown so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Nascent Soul Legacy, Water Cloud Immortal Fruit.

No wonder these people were making such a big fuss.

”Brother, these bastards, ganging up on her, it’s simply shameless!”

Chen Daochu clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.

”Don’t rush...”

Chen Daoxuan remained calm: ”Our identities cannot be exposed. Let’s first see what trump card Junior Sister Liu Feifei has.”

At this moment, the chase in mid-air was nearing its end.

Liu Feifei and her group were clearly at their wit’s end.

”Senior Sister Feifei, I... I can’t go on. My magic power is almost exhausted!” a round-faced girl said, panting, while struggling to maintain her escape light.

Her name was Lin Meng, and she was Liu Feifei’s close friend.

”Who on earth leaked the news about us?! They caught up to us right after we obtained the Legacy!” another female Disciple exclaimed, both shocked and angry.

Liu Feifei looked back at the pursuers getting closer behind her.

A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

She gritted her silver teeth and sent a voice transmission to her companions: ”Don’t panic! I’ve secretly set up a Formation. Just hold on for another quarter of an hour! Just a quarter of an hour, and we’ll be able to last until the Formation is complete!”

Hearing this, the few people who had been somewhat despairing instantly rekindled hope in their eyes.

”That’s great! We trust Senior Sister Feifei’s Formation mastery!”

”Hold on! As long as we enter Senior Sister’s Formation, we’ll be safe!”

Lin Meng was also delighted, but what followed was an even deeper worry.

She knew best that although Senior Sister’s Formation was powerful, every time it was set up, especially such a grand Formation hastily laid out, it consumed a tremendous amount of mental energy and magic power.

Senior Sister was already injured, and if this continued... She looked at Senior Sister’s pale profile, and a surge of admiration rose in her heart.

Since she first joined the Sect, Liu Feifei had been her goal to chase.

This Senior Sister’s talent might not be the top in the Sect, but her diligence and tenacity were unmatched.

No matter how great the difficulty, she seemed to never admit defeat.

”Quick! They’re forming a Formation! Don’t let them succeed!”

From behind, Xu Xinlong and Yun Zhan’s murderous voices came.

More than a dozen Spell lights instantly streaked across the sky, like a large net, covering Liu Feifei and the others.

”Now!”

A sharp glint flashed in Liu Feifei’s eyes, and she fiercely crushed the last Formation Flag in her hand.

Buzz!

A dazzling spiritual light shot up into the sky, and on the ground a hundred zhang below them, a huge circular light screen instantly unfolded.

A vast spiritual power fluctuation swept in all directions.

”Go down!”

Liu Feifei shouted, taking the lead to dive towards the light screen.

Lin Meng and the others followed closely, and just before the attack landed, they safely rushed into the defensive shield.

Boom!

More than a dozen Spells heavily smashed onto the light screen, stirring up circles of violent ripples.

The light screen shook violently a few times, and its color dimmed by thirty percent.

But in the end, it held steady.

As soon as Liu Feifei landed, she ”wa” spit out a mouthful of blood, her face becoming even paler.

”Senior Sister!”

Lin Meng and the others were shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her.

”I’m fine.”

Liu Feifei waved her hand, took out a Medicinal Pill from her Storage Pouch, and quickly sat down cross-legged.

She glanced at the violently shaking shield, a hint of pain flashing in her eyes.

To save time, the Formation Plate she had used to set up the Formation earlier had already shattered from the spiritual power impact.

At this moment, she could only use her Lifebound Treasure, the ”Autumn Water” Flying Sword, as the core of the Formation, combined with the four Formation Flags inserted around it, to forcibly maintain this ”Four Symbols Water Control Formation.”

This was undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

”Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Sounds of breaking air followed one after another.

Xu Xinlong, Yun Zhan, Song Ren, and more than a dozen Inner Sect Disciples of Qingyun Immortal Sect, whose auras were also at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, landed outside the shield, surrounding Liu Feifei and the others.

Xu Xinlong, who was leading, was tall and arrogant.

He glanced at Liu Feifei inside the light shield and smiled softly: ”Junior Sister Liu, long time no see.”

Song Yun, beside him, also chimed in: ”Junior Sister Liu, why bother with such futile struggles? Although your Formation is exquisite, how long can it last with only you maintaining it?”

”Hand over the Nascent Soul Legacy and the Water Cloud Immortal Fruit...”

Xu Xinlong took a step forward, his tone turning chilling: ”We can pretend nothing happened and let you leave safely. Otherwise, once we break this turtle shell, none of you will leave the Secret Realm alive!”

His words were full of threats.

”Bah! Shameless!”

Lin Meng could no longer hold back. She helped Liu Feifei stand up and angrily retorted to the outside: ”Xu Xinlong, Yun Zhan, Song Ren! Don’t you have any shame?!”

”As fellow Disciples of Qingyun, you actually laid such a poisonous hand on your peers just to snatch an Opportunity!”

”More than a dozen people ganging up on a few of us, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out?!”

Being pointed at and cursed by a young girl, Xu Xinlong’s face immediately darkened, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes: ”Little girl, do you have a right to speak here?”

”Believe it or not, once the Formation breaks, I’ll be the first to tear your mouth apart!”

”You!”

Lin Meng’s pretty face turned crimson with anger.

”Heh heh, Junior Sister Lin’s words are wrong.”

Yun Zhan shook his head, looking sanctimonious: ”In the Cultivation World, the strong are respected, and Opportunities naturally belong to the virtuous. Junior Sister Liu obtained such a precious treasure; she should share it with us fellow Disciples to strengthen the prestige of our Qingyun Immortal Sect.”

”Now she wants to keep it all to herself. This is selfish and disregard for fellow Sect members!”

With his words, he directly twisted blatant robbery into acting on behalf of heaven, turning black into white.

”You... you’re simply distorting facts!”

Lin Meng trembled with anger, not knowing how to refute.

”Stop wasting words with them!”

Xu Xinlong seemed a bit impatient: ”Everyone, attack together! Break the Formation with all your might! I want to see how long a wounded woman can last!”

”Yes!”

More than a dozen elite Disciples responded in unison, each summoning their Magical Artifacts.

For a moment, sword lights flashed, and precious light soared into the sky!

Violent spiritual power fluctuations converged, forming a terrifying energy storm that fiercely pressed against the thin, water-blue shield.

Inside the shield, Liu Feifei opened her eyes. She poured all her magic power into the Autumn Water Sword, which served as the core of the Formation.

The originally radiant Flying Sword let out a mournful cry, its light dimming a few points.

She looked at the once somewhat familiar fellow Sect members outside, who now wore greedy, wolf-like expressions, and her heart turned cold.

She knew that today, she might truly fall here.

Just at this tense, explosive moment, Chen Daochu, hidden in the distance, could no longer hold back.

”Brother!”

He looked at Chen Daoxuan, his eyes full of anxiety and pleading: ”If we don’t act now, Junior Sister Liu and the others will truly be in danger!”

Chen Daoxuan’s gaze swept from the crumbling Formation to Yun Zhan, Song Ren, and the more than a dozen Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

Finally, it landed on Liu Feifei’s pale face.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

”No hurry.”

”What?”

Chen Daochu was stunned.

At a time like this, how could Brother still say no hurry?

”Brother, if we wait any longer, they’ll...”

”They won’t die for now.”

Chen Daoxuan’s voice was without a ripple. His gaze was sharp as he calmly analyzed the battle: ”Although Liu Feifei’s Formation was hastily set up, its Foundation is very stable. It’s absolutely impossible for Xu Xinlong, Yun Zhan, and their dozen-plus people to break it in a short time.”

He paused, then turned his gaze to his younger brother, a hint of solemnity in his eyes: ”Dao Chu, remember, we are Disciples of the Ninghai Chen Family, not law enforcement Disciples of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.”

”Our primary task is to return to the Family safely with the gains from this trip.”

”Saving people is fine.”

”But it must be done while ensuring our absolute safety.”

”If we rush out now, we will immediately become the target of all. They have a numerical advantage, and there are many skilled Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators among them. Once we get entangled in a fight, there will be too many variables.”

”Our identities, our gains, everything could be exposed.”

Chen Daoxuan’s words were like a basin of cold water, dousing Chen Daochu’s surging blood.

He had to admit that his brother was right.

The two brothers carried the future of the entire Family.

Any impulsive action could lead to devastating consequences.

”Then I understand, Brother.”

Chen Daochu took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart: ”We wait.”

Chen Daoxuan’s gaze once again turned to the battlefield in the distance, his voice low: ”Wait until they are exhausted, until they relax, until the moment they believe victory is in their grasp.”

...Outside the Formation, after a fierce assault, the light screen, though precarious, ultimately did not shatter.

Xu Xinlong’s face was somewhat grim.

He hadn’t expected Liu Feifei, a Formation Master, to be so troublesome.

”Useless! A bunch of useless people! More than a dozen people can’t even break a woman’s turtle shell!” he roared at his fellow Sect members beside him, venting his frustration.

Yun Zhan’s eyes darted around, and he stepped forward: ”Senior Brother doesn’t need to be angry. She’s burning her Lifebound Treasure to hold on, it won’t last much longer.”

”However, I do have a method that might allow us to attack her mind and make her lose her footing.”

”What method?” Xu Xinlong asked.

Yun Zhan gave a sinister smile, his gaze falling on the pale-faced Liu Feifei within the Formation, and he said loudly: ”Junior Sister Liu, I just remembered something. You have quite a close relationship with those two brothers from the Ninghai Chen Family, don’t you?”

Hearing the words ”Chen Family,” Liu Feifei’s heart skipped a beat.

Lin Meng beside her also froze.

Seeing this, Xu Xinlong knew he had hit the mark.

The smile on his face grew wider: ”Especially that Chen Daochu. I heard you two were very close during the entrance examination.”

”Tsk tsk, talented man and beautiful woman, it would have been a beautiful story.”

”It’s just a pity...”

He changed the subject, his tone filled with schadenfreude and regret: ”Junior Sister Liu, you probably don’t know yet, do you? Just a few days ago, your two Chen Family brothers, overestimating themselves, provoked a group of Yao Beasts deep within the Secret Realm.”

”As a result, they were ambushed by that Yao Beast and its subordinates, and not even their bones could be found. What a pity, what a pity!”
