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

121: Chapter 121 The Ambition to Soar to the Heavens, Both Must Be DoneChen Zhuxiao omitted most of the trivial details, telling his family only the key points to avoid causing them excessive worry.

During this trip down the mountain for training, besides gaining a daughter, his own Realm had advanced from the Early Stage to the Peak. His speed of promotion could be described as rocket-like, far faster than the average Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.

The greatest harvest of this trip was comprehending Sword Intent, qualifying him to become a true Sword Immortal, destined to make his name renowned throughout the world through the Dao of the Sword.

Secondly, there were the Qing Qi Spells obtained from the Hengyuan Immortal Cave. Each one was no lower than the Sixth Grade, and there was even an Immortal Spell that required him to reach the Purple Mansion Realm before he could Cultivate it.

Among them was a Spell called ”Qingxuan Heaven-Reaching Tai-Xu Body.” It was a Dharma Body type Spell that imitated the Golden Core Dharma Idol. Once unleashed, it could manifest some of the profound mysteries of a Dharma Idol.

This Spell required a sufficient quantity of Xu Earth spiritual Materials and was divided into nine levels. When Cultivated to the ninth level, the unleashed Dharma Body would be no less powerful than a Golden Core Dharma Idol.

Chen Zhuxiao did not lack Qing Qi, but Xu Earth spiritual Materials were in very short supply.

Chen Fufeng and the others sighed endlessly after learning of Chen Zhuxiao’s experiences; it turned out that such melodramatic plotlines actually existed.

Chen Zhuyun and Ruan Zhirou were in mutual agreement; both had feelings for the other, and they had come together naturally.

The relationship between Chen Zhuxiao and Liu Tingshu was somewhat forced; it still needed more time to nurture their feelings.

”Love grows with time” is true, but it requires time to grow.

Without the accumulation of time, the feelings between two people are not solid and are extremely fragile.

As for love at first sight—bullshit. It’s nothing more than lusting after appearance.

Chen Fufeng and his wife chatted with Chen Zhuxiao for a long time, mostly trying to guide him so that this second son wouldn’t act recklessly and try to storm the Sacred Fire Cult to bring back Liu Tingshu.

Currently, the Chen family was nothing to the Sacred Fire Cult; they could be wiped out with a wave of a hand.

Only when Yuan Feng reached the Golden Core Realm, or after a Golden Core emerged, would the Chen family have the confidence to face the behemoth that was the Sacred Fire Cult. For now, they had to honestly accumulate strength.

From the letter Liu Tingshu left for Chen Zhuxiao, it was not hard to see that she had feelings for him.

The so-called ”achieving the Golden Core True Monarch Realm before seeking her out” was likely to motivate Chen Zhuxiao, giving him a goal.

”Father, Mother, rest assured, your son will definitely bring your daughter-in-law back.” Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes were bright, his spine as straight as a mountain. The vast thunder and prison breaker swords within his immortal foundation became active, and dense lightning filled the sky.

Chen Fufeng, however, thought of something. With a solemn expression, he patted his shoulder and asked, ”Diminutive form of Zhuxiao, what about your Fairy Qingyu?”

Chen Zhuxiao’s face stiffened. The relationship between him and Su Qingyu was very complicated; he had promised her that he would visit the capital after reaching the Purple Mansion Realm.

Moreover, Su Qingyu’s background was not simple; she was the daughter of True Monarch Shuxuan, similar to Liu Tingshu’s background.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Chen Zhuxiao’s forehead. He could already imagine the scene when the two women met. Neither was easy to deal with, and he feared they would fight.

One Cultivated Taiyin, the other Cultivated Supreme Fire. Both were powerful and had strong backgrounds—what a headache!

The key was that both women had deep connections with him. Su Qingyu had been intertwined with him since he was in Changli Commandery, and Liu Tingshu even more so—she had directly borne him a daughter.

If not handled well, a ”shura field” was bound to happen, and he wouldn’t have an easy time either.

”Don’t worry, Diminutive form of Zhuxiao.” Seeing the cold sweat on Chen Zhuxiao’s forehead, Chen Fufeng displayed the composure of an elder and earnestly advised:

”Your father has already modified the Chen family rules. Any member of the Liyuan Plains Chen family may marry multiple legal wives, all with equal status.

In this way, there won’t be any ’backyard fires,’ which is also a good thing for the Chen family.

Marry a few more, expand the family, and let the Chen Family Main Lineage prosper; only then can it flourish and be passed down for generations.”

It was easy to say, but hard to do.

Which woman would be willing to share her husband with others? Especially women who were as beautiful as fairies and had powerful backgrounds.

Chen Fufeng had already envisioned the chaotic scenes in the future of the Chen family. As a father, he had done all he could; the rest would have to be handled by Chen Zhuxiao himself.

At the very least, Yuan Feng was there. He was the Chen family’s anchor, and he would surely find a solution.

Chen Zhuxiao also felt a headache. Dealing with the relationship between the two women felt more troublesome than comprehending Sword Intent.

Afterward, he stopped thinking about it. For now, he would focus on raising Chen Xianting.

Once he broke through to the Purple Mansion, he would make a trip to the capital to see Su Qingyu and see what her reaction would be.

The Divine Thunder Clearing the Nine Heavens Scripture he learned, the Pivot Profound Thunder Questioning Miscellaneous Talks, and the xuan shu thunder punishment seal were all gifts from True Monarch Shuxuan.

It could be said that True Monarch Shuxuan was his semi-master; he was the type of person one had to show Disciple etiquette to upon meeting.

Su Qingyu was True Monarch Shuxuan’s daughter and had helped him comprehend Sword Intent; the connection between them had long since become inseparable.

”After the Purple Mansion Realm, I will first go to the capital to see Qingyu. When I reach the Golden Core Realm, I will go to bring Tingshu back to the Chen family.” Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes seemed to spark with thunder, his gaze becoming sharp.

”Only children make choices; I want both!”

...

As Chen Zhuxiao returned with his daughter, the members of the Chen Family Main Lineage gathered on Luoyun Mountain, welcoming a rare moment of reunion.

Chen Zhuxiao was skilled in combat and killing enemies, but not in raising children, so this heavy burden fell on Ji Wanqing.

She was quite leisurely now; besides Cultivating, she spent her days drinking tea and admiring flowers, occasionally sharing intimate moments with Chen Fufeng.

As for Chen Fufeng, the family head, he was busy. Recently, a Chen family Guest Elder had discovered a super-large red copper vein near the Tianli Mountain Range, the kind that could produce Third Grade spiritual Materials.

This matter even alarmed Grandmaster Heaven Forger. A super-large red copper vein meant it could produce Red Copper Mother Essence, which was a top-tier spiritual Material capable of refining Magic Treasures.

Although Magic Treasures were the exclusive domain of Golden Core True Monarchs, one could completely refine a Magic Treasure embryo for a Purple Mansion True Person to use. Once they achieved the Golden Core Realm, this Magic Treasure embryo would evolve into a true Magic Treasure.

One could even use Fourth Grade spiritual Materials to refine a Life-Bound Magical Artifact. Later, one would only need to improve their Realm to allow the Life-Bound Magical Artifact to continuously promote until it became a Magic Treasure.

This process required no additional Materials to improve the grade, saving a great deal of time.

Grandmaster Heaven Forger had this idea; refining a Magic Treasure embryo would improve his Artifact Refining skills, allowing him to touch upon Grandmaster-level Artifact Refining techniques, and it would also help him gain insights into his position as Heaven Forger.

In Grandmaster Heaven Forger’s eyes, the descendants born to the Chen Family Main Lineage were all quite good and would surely have a promising future.

If there was enough Red Copper Mother Essence in that super-large red copper mine, he would forge Life-Bound Magical Artifacts for Chen Xianlin and the others together, which could be considered as basking in their Luck.

Therefore, Chen Fufeng had been busy with the mining of the red copper for these past days. Not only did he have to guard against the Great Demon Kings in the depths of the Tianli Mountain Range, but he also had to guard against other Purple Mansion Factions.

Many Guest Elders were sent over, and with the help of Grandmaster Heaven Forger, they even persuaded a Purple Mansion True Person residing in Luoyun City to come and hold the fort to prevent any unexpected situations.

Chen Zhuxiao was in bitter Cultivation. In the courtyard, thunder rumbled, and heaven-sent lightning struck down from time to time, as if he were using it to refine his body, leaving many Cultivators terrified.

He was a Foundation Establishment Peak Divine Thunder Cultivator. He had Cultivated the strongest Divine Thunder immortal foundation, Clearing the Nine Heavens, and combined with his mastery of Sword Intent, his combat power was strong enough to rank among the top of the world’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators, looking down on those of the same rank.

These days, besides Cultivating, he would visit Chen Xianting and spar with Chen Zhuyun.

His eldest brother had obtained a great Opportunity within the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect ruins, not only successfully opening up the Martial Dao Gangsha Realm but also breaking through to the Peak of the Gangsha Realm in one go. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators were not a match for him in a single exchange.

However, their sparring was light; they didn’t show any life-or-death moves for fear of being unable to hold back.

But both sides knew that their eldest brother/second younger brother’s strength was very high—extremely high. At the Foundation Establishment Peak Realm, there were basically few opponents to be found.

Thus, autumn passed and winter came, and three years passed in a flash.

Twelve years had passed, and Yuan Feng was still in seclusion, longer than any of his previous seclusions.

During this period, Chen Zhuxiao and Chen Zhuyun had both gone to the Back Mountain Cliff. Standing at the entrance, feeling the terrifying aura emanating from within, they knew Yuan Feng was fine and left quietly without disturbing him.

In the same year, Jiang Yunlei and Chen Zhuqing both reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators of the Taiyin and Taiyang Path.

It was also in this year that the two officially became Dao Companions.

The two had been childhood sweethearts, and after obtaining an Opportunity in the Tianchen Lineage blessed land, their Cultivation speed increased, and their feelings heated up rapidly, making them no different from a married couple.

Chen Fufeng had said that once Jiang Yunlei reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would betroth Chen Zhuqing to him, and now he had done it.

But because Yuan Feng had not yet emerged from seclusion, their marriage as Dao Companions was not widely publicized, though the Cultivators of the Chen family all knew the relationship between the two.

The same went for Chen Zhuyun and his wife; they would only hold their wedding after Yuan Feng emerged from seclusion, as they needed Yuan Feng to witness it.

Chen Zhuyuan was closer with the two women, Liu Luojun and Huang Shanrou; it could be said he was surrounded by beauty, the envy of others.

In terms of balancing the relationship between the two women, he was much better than Chen Zhuxiao.

Besides that, he had improved significantly in Artifact Refining and was already a First Grade High Grade Artifact Refiner.

Huang Shanrou’s talent in Artifact Refining was much stronger than his, and her Artifact Refining skills had already reached the Peak of the First Grade.

Grandmaster Heaven Forger’s test for her was that she must be able to refine a Second Grade Magical Artifact while at the Peak Qi Refining; only then would she not have wasted her Artifact Refining talent.

Chen Xianlin and his sister, along with Chen Zhuxiu, turned seven last year and all had their Spiritual Roots tested. All were over one foot long, making Chen Fufeng laugh heartily and declare that the Chen family had successors.

Among them, the Spiritual Root attributes of Chen Xianlin and his sister were strange; they were neither inclined toward the Five Elements nor the Four Symbols of Wind and Thunder, but rather close to Blood Qi.

Moreover, after testing their Spiritual Roots, a Cultivation Technique automatically appeared in the siblings’ minds—an ancient Dao scripture called the ”Jade Blood Questioning Profound Dao Scripture.”

Just hearing the name, one knew it wasn’t simple; it had a great connection with the Jade Blood Heavenly Sect.

Chen Zhuxiu’s tested Spiritual Root had an affinity for the Wind element. Coincidentally, the clan possessed a Fifth Grade Wind-attribute Cultivation Technique, so his talent was not wasted.

This day, two figures walked down Luoyun Mountain, flying toward the direction of the Liyuan Commandery City.

It was Chen Zhuyun and his wife. They were going to do something that could affect the world’s situation, starting from this Liyuan Commandery.

The intention was to spread martial arts throughout the world!
