Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

61: Chapter 61 Three Years, Thriving”Hoo!”

Yuan Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. He lightly summoned the Panel in his mind, and an illusory System Panel appeared in his consciousness.

【 Name: Yuan Feng, Lifespan: 57/500 Years, Bloodline: top-grade Yao Beast, Race: Long-Armed Demon Ape, Realm: Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, Talent: Frenzy - Intermediate, Illuminating Demon Eye, Spell: Through-Arm Mountain Shattering Fist, Guardian Vajra Body, Leaping Mountains and Striding Peaks, Holding Up the Heavens and Shaking the Mountains, Breath Concealment Art, Secret Technique: Myriad Transformations Sacred Method, Divine Ability: Size As Desired, Mountain and Sea Shift, clan protecting system Bound: Chen Family, Current Family Head - Chen Fufeng, clan destiny points: 90 Points 】

With the aid of massive resources and his top-grade Yao Beast Bloodline, Yuan Feng’s Realm had ascended another small step, becoming a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Great Yao, and his strength had increased significantly.

With his formidable combat power, even if a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivator were to strike at him, he would have the strength to fight back, and might even be able to cut the opponent down.

As for a Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator, he reckoned he was not yet a match, but he would only know for sure after a fight.

In the Talent column, there was now an Intermediate level and a plus sign after Frenzy, indicating that it could be upgraded further.

However, Yuan Feng did not choose to add points; he felt in the dark that perhaps if he accumulated more clan destiny points, his Bloodline would be able to evolve again.

Aside from the changes in the Realm and Talent columns, the rest was the change in clan destiny points, which had increased by 47 points.

Among them, Chen Zhuxiao alone contributed 18 clan destiny points, taking up the bulk.

He had broken through to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer three years ago, adding five clan destiny points for Yuan Feng.

Three years later, this Qilin Son of the Liming Chen Family was still advancing rapidly. He had stepped into the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining a year ago, and now he was nearing Perfection in this Realm; in a few months, he would be able to break through again and become an Eighth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator.

Moreover, he was only over 18 years old this year, not even 20, and his Aptitude could be called monstrous.

Not only was his cultivation progress rapid, but his combat power was also extremely strong. Even Chen Fufeng, who had broken through to Peak Qi Refining, felt a sense of palpitations when facing his second son.

This could not help but make the Chen Family Head sigh: ”The new generation surpasses the old.”

Currently, Chen Zhuxiao was presiding over Luoyun City at the foot of the mountain and was honored by the Mortals in the city as the Zhu Xiao Sword Immortal; no one knew how many Mortal maidens were infatuated with him.

Among Chen Fufeng’s children, Chen Zhuyun practiced martial arts all year round. Although he was tall and robust, his skin was bronze-colored, making him look like a total muscle-bound man, which made it hard to attract women.

Chen Zhuxiao, however, was different. He was an Immortal Cultivator, walked the Divine Thunder Path, and was handsome in appearance, which could be described as jade-like. Coupled with his white robes and sword, it was no exaggeration to call him the Zhu Xiao Sword Immortal.

Luoyun City at the foot of Luoyun Mountain had been completed two years ago, spanning nearly tens of miles. During this time, the Chen Family had also hired architects specializing in building city houses to lay the Foundations and construct the city for subsequent expansion.

These architects also belonged to one of the hundred arts of cultivation. Like the Midwife, it belonged to the niche category, specializing in one trade, unlike Formations, Medicinal Pills, talismans, and Artifact Refining which possessed universality and practicality.

In just two years, the number of Mortal commoners accommodated in Luoyun City had exceeded 300,000. It was prosperous, with heavy traffic and an endless stream of people, and even attracted some Immortal Cultivators to settle down.

After all, it was a large city backed by the Foundation Establishment Chen Family. For those Qi Refining Loose Cultivators with no sect and no support, it was a very good choice; basically, few people dared to offend the majesty of a Foundation Establishment great Family.

During this period, some blind foreign Cultivators had come to cause trouble, but what awaited them was a sword light like a magnificent Divine Thunder. Whether they were in the Middle Stage or late stage of Qi Refining, they could not withstand a single sword strike.

A while ago, some Loose Cultivator celebrities known as the Three Immortals of Liming came to cause trouble in Luoyun City and even injured several Qi Refining Loose Cultivators who were staying there.

But as Chen Zhuxiao struck, the Three Immortals of Liming were all beheaded under his sword, without even stirring up a ripple, shocking the entire Liming Town.

Even though the leader of the Three Immortals of Liming was a Peak Qi Refining Cultivator, he was still no match for the Divine Thunder Sword Qi. The fierce sword momentum, carrying the power of a raging storm, crushed the leader of the Three Immortals of Liming like a dry twig, leaving him without even time to react.

The Divine Thunder Path combined with the Sword Cultivator path could be said to be unrivaled in offense, the fastest in the world!

In addition, Chen Zhuxiao had already switched to the Sixth-grade Cultivation Method, ”Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture.” In terms of Foundation alone, he was not inferior to any Qi Refining Cultivator and dared to contend with any Qi Refining Cultivator.

These Loose Cultivators had shallow Foundations and average combat power. Even if their Realm was higher than his, in his eyes, they were nothing more than a single sword strike.

This also made the Immortal Cultivators who settled in Luoyun City hold Chen Zhuxiao in awe. With such a Realm and strength at a young age, he was likely a future Purple Mansion True Person.

Chen Fufeng, the Chen Family Head, had broken through to the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining two years ago, and his strength had greatly advanced, placing him at Peak Qi Refining.

He had spent the remaining year polishing his Spiritual Qi, striving to reach the so-called ’Qi Refining Perfection’ as soon as possible, so as to perceive the Dao Foundation, take Heaven and Earth spiritual objects, and attempt to forge an immortal foundation to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It was a pity that this process could not be achieved overnight. He still needed some time to polish it to Perfection before he could attempt Foundation Establishment.

If it were Chen Zhuxiao, who cultivated a Sixth-grade Cultivation Method, he would likely have spiritual power overflowing and be perfectly harmonious upon Breakthrough, allowing him to directly take Heaven and Earth spiritual objects to establish his Foundation.

This was the benefit of High Grade cultivation methods; they required more resources, but the effect was very good. The higher one went, the better the effect displayed. For instance, reaching Peak Qi Refining only required a little polishing to attempt Foundation Establishment.

In the eyes of major forces, those who cultivated methods below the Fifth-grade could be said to be mediocre, with average combat power, only fit to be surpassed and defeated by those of higher Realms.

Ji Wanqing, the Chen Family Matriarch, had also made some new Breakthroughs in the past three years. As Chen Zhuyuan and Chen Zhuhong grew older, they were no longer clingy and did not need her to take care of them every day.

Therefore, she set aside a lot of time for cultivation and achieved remarkable results, having broken through from the Qi Refining Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, adding 6 clan destiny points for Yuan Feng.

As for Chen Zhuyuan and Chen Zhuhong, the two youngest members of the Chen Family Main Lineage, they had turned seven years old a few months ago and had both tested their Spiritual Roots.

Fortunately, both possessed Spiritual Roots, and they were not short.

Chen Zhuyuan had a 9.6-inch Spiritual Root, top-tier Aptitude, and was close to the water attribute. He did not choose the Family’s ”Kanze Sun-Trapping Art” or ”Li Water Moistening Things Scripture.”

Instead, he was interested in the ”Proud Snow and Frost Layering Art” obtained from the Liquan Lin Family. Chen Fufeng and his wife could not stop him, so they had to let him practice the ”Proud Snow and Frost Layering Art,” which was currently still in the Nourishing Origin Realm stage.

Chen Zhuhong, the proud daughter of heaven who carried the Li Fire Luck, tested for a Spiritual Root length of 1.5 feet, a supreme Aptitude, and was extremely close to the fire attribute. Coupled with the mysterious bird imprint on her forehead, her speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was much faster than Chen Zhuxiao’s 1.3 feet.

In fact, after Spiritual Roots exceeded one foot, they were all supreme Aptitudes, and the speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was about the same. It was the resources and cultivation methods that were the main factors, determining the thickness of the established Foundation and the height that could be reached in the future.

The cultivation method Chen Zhuhong chose was ”Crimson Central Separating Flame Art.” Currently, this was the highest-level cultivation method the Chen Family had in the Fire Dao, so there was no choice for now.

However, the cultivation method was secondary. As long as Chen Zhuhong could join the Zhiyang Sect, she could Cultivate Sixth-grade Cultivation Methods, so there was no need to worry about cultivation methods at all.

One had to know that the [Burning Absolute] True Monarch walked the Li Fire Dao. This path was the orthodox path of the Zhiyang Sect; there was no sect in the world more suitable for Chen Zhuhong than the Zhiyang Sect.

If the [Burning Absolute] True Monarch successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, the Zhiyang Sect could be called an Immortal Sect, with an Earth Immortal Venerable of the Nascent Soul level sitting in charge, enough to smile and watch the oceans turn into mulberry fields.

What gave Chen Fufeng a headache was that the Spiritual Qi needed to be consumed and refined when breaking through from the Nourishing Origin Realm to the Qi Refining Realm was somewhat hard to find, especially those of High Grade or even top-grade.

The strength of the refined Spiritual Qi represented the strength of the spiritual power born after Qi Refining. This could not be sloppy and required careful consideration.

For example, the Mixed Mysterious Blameless Truth-Breaking Divine Thunder Qi that Chen Zhuxiao consumed and refined, although it seemed to be only High Grade, actually had an effect no less than top-grade spiritual qi. The Mixed Mysterious Blameless Truth-Breaking Divine Thunder spiritual power born was extremely fierce and highly compatible with the ”Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture,” capable of exerting an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

For this reason, Chen Fufeng specially went to see Ruan Yurong. The latter was very calm and said bluntly that the Opportunity had not yet arrived, and it would naturally be in hand when the Opportunity arrived.

These words made Chen Fufeng a little confused, so he didn’t think about it anymore and just seized the present.

In a few years, it would be the decennial auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. At that time, he would go and see if there was any fire-attribute High Grade Spiritual Qi for auction.

If there was, he would try to get it; if not, he could only settle for the second best and consume Medium Grade Spiritual Qi.

Alternatively, he could let Chen Zhuhong stay in the Nourishing Origin Realm first and wait until she went to the Zhiyang Sect before consuming the qi, but doing so would slow down Chen Zhuhong’s cultivation pace.

Yuan Feng had broken through to Foundation Establishment. Logically speaking, he could directly escort Chen Zhuhong to the Zhiyang Sect located in the Western Territory of Great Qi, but he could not leave due to a series of things in Liyuan Commandery.

Added to the fact that Ruan Yurong indicated that Chen Zhuhong must wait until the twelve-year deadline arrived before she could be sent to the Zhiyang Sect, Chen Fufeng had no other choice but to wait until Chen Zhuhong turned twelve.

As the only Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator currently in the Chen Family, even without the mess in Liyuan Commandery, Yuan Feng could not personally escort Chen Zhuhong to the Zhiyang Sect.

If a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator came to attack the Chen Family on the way, the trouble would be huge.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of escorting Chen Zhuhong to the Zhiyang Sect fell on the shoulders of Chen Fufeng or Chen Zhuxiao.

Chen Fufeng was at Peak Qi Refining and could attempt Foundation Establishment after a while.

Chen Zhuxiao was peerlessly gifted, with astonishing cultivation speed, and might be able to break through to Foundation Establishment without waiting for the twelve-year deadline.

Besides these few, Chen Zhuqing, this introverted girl, had broken through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining and had currently covered a lot of distance, counting as a seasoned Fourth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator.

Jiang Yunlei followed closely behind. He was very compatible with the cultivation method he practiced, and his Realm was about the same as Chen Zhuqing’s.

Then there were Su Meng and Chen Zhuyu. Both of them had broken through one level of Realm and were currently at the Qi Refining Third Layer. After polishing for a period of time, they could attempt to break through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining and step into the Middle Stage of Qi Refining.

Don’t look at the fact that their cultivation speed was far inferior to Chen Zhuxiao’s, but placed in other families, this kind of progress could be described as terrifying. After all, they were all teenagers and still very young.

Whether it was Chen Zhuqing or Jiang Yunlei, they were all medium or medium-low in cultivation Aptitude, and Su Meng and Chen Zhuyu were about the same; their Aptitude was not that good.

What could support their rapid cultivation advancement was a large amount of cultivation resources. It didn’t matter if the Aptitude was not good; it could be piled up with resources.

Of course, Chen Fufeng also allocated resources according to the quality of Aptitude. For example, Chen Zhuxiao took the bulk, and the resources of the others combined were not as much as his alone.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the above-mentioned Cultivators of the Chen Family, Chen Bao, this branch Cultivator, had made further progress in these three years, breaking through to the Qi Refining Third Layer and providing Yuan Feng with three clan destiny points.

The things that happened in these three years were far more than this. With the expansion of the Chen Family and the increasing number of Mortals, several batches of people with Spiritual Roots had emerged.

After three Spiritual Root tests, there were more than ten cultivation seeds with Spiritual Roots, one-third of which came from the Chen Family branch, and the lowest were five-inch Spiritual Roots.

The highest was a boy named Ye Hao, whose Spiritual Root was as long as 9.2 inches, with an affinity for the earth attribute.

The current cultivation method was the only Fourth-grade earth-attribute cultivation method of the Chen Family, ”Treasured Spring Soil Scripture.” The nature belonged to ji earth, and one could Cultivate the Fourth-grade ji earth immortal foundation [Treasured Spring Soil].

There were currently no new members born in Chen Fufeng’s main lineage, but four of his five children possessed cultivation Aptitude, and none were low.

The only remaining eldest son, Chen Zhuyun, had also broken through to the Innate martial arts, equivalent to a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator, and could also be regarded as possessing cultivation Aptitude.

When his children married, the personnel of the main lineage would see a surge, and there would be no situation of disconnection.

On this day, Chen Fufeng was handling various affairs of the Chen Family in the council hall when two figures arrived together.

It was Chen Zhuqing and Jiang Yunlei.

Chen Zhuqing was two years younger than Chen Zhuxiao, but she was already fifteen or sixteen years old. She had grown up to be graceful and was dressed in light blue robes, carrying a gentle temperament. Her personality was very similar to Ji Wanqing’s.

Jiang Yunlei was a little different; the whole person was like an unsheathed sharp sword, with geng metal qi permeating his whole body, his sharpness exposed.

”Greetings, Father.”

”Greetings, Family Head.”

Chen Fufeng put down the matters in his hand, with a gentle smile on his face: ”It’s Qing’er and Yunlei. You came here today, could it be that you want to tell me that you want to go down the mountain to train?”

”Yes, Father. Qing’er is already a Middle Stage Qi Refining Cultivator, and after all, one has to face the cruelty of the Cultivation World. It would be better to go down the mountain to train; only in this way can it be helpful to cultivation.” Chen Zhuqing replied with a bow.

Jiang Yunlei echoed from the side, saying he would ensure Chen Zhuqing’s safety and so on.

...

Half a day later, two figures left Luoyun Mountain together, heading towards the east of Liming Town. There was no town there, but one could reach the Tianli Mountain Range.

Chen Fufeng’s figure appeared above the clouds, watching his daughter’s figure gradually walk away, and it was a long time before he returned to Luoyun Mountain.

Before Chen Zhuqing and the other left, he had taken a few First-grade High Grade Magical Artifacts, talismans, and some Medicinal Pills from the Family treasury to give to the two, which counted as a layer of protection.

What worried Chen Fufeng the most was not that Chen Zhuqing wanted to go down the mountain to train, but the matter of slaying demons in Liquan Town.

The previous deadline was three years, but now three years had passed, and there was no movement from Liyuan Commandery. He didn’t know if something had gone wrong.
