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

133: Chapter 133 Purpose of the Visit, Thunder Palace RuinsLuoyun City, Chen Family Residence.

Chen Zhuxiao looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar beauty in front of him, feeling inexplicably dazed.

He and Mo Li hadn’t actually met many times.

Back then, when he secretly went down the mountain, the sister of the Pei Family Siblings he met on the road was impersonated by Mo Li.

After entering the Tianyu Cave Mansion, Qian Lin of the Qian Family disregarded martial ethics and used the Divine Ability left on him by the Qian Family Old Ancestor.

If Mo Li hadn’t appeared in time, he and the others might have been in mortal danger.

That was the first time he saw Mo Li’s true face, and also the last.

For his young self at the time, it was extremely impactful, deeply imprinted in his mind, and difficult to forget.

Now that he thinks back, all of this was premeditated, with traces to follow.

The appearance of the Pei Family Siblings was to lead him to the Tianyu Cave Mansion, ensuring he could enter the Tianyu Cave Mansion and obtain the vast thunder and miscellaneous talks on questioning thunder by shu xuan.

Later, he traveled around, first meeting Su Qingyu, then Liu Tingshu, and even had a daughter with the latter.

Both women were of noble status and peerless beauty, and the mark Mo Li left in his heart had quietly faded.

Strictly speaking, it was nothing more than his own one-sided crush.

Now, more than twenty years have passed since then; things have changed, and he has long forgotten.

”Miss Mo Li, what brings you to me?”

Chen Zhuxiao no longer reminisced about the past. As the Chen Family Head, he had to be decisive and resolute, not allowing a small matter to cause him private sorrow and waste too much time dealing with it.

Mo Li’s lips curved into a breathtaking smile, her red lips slightly parted, exhaling like orchids: ”The xuan shu thunder punishment seal is still with you, isn’t it?”

”True Monarch Shuxuan temporarily bestowed it upon me; it is currently still with me.”

Chen Zhuxiao said, motioning for Mo Li to sit down. Talking face-to-face like this made him a little uncomfortable.

As the two sat down, sharp-eyed maids quickly came forward to serve tea.

Mo Li took the teacup, took a light sip, and then spoke: ”I came to you today for a great Opportunity.”

”A great Opportunity?”

Chen Zhuxiao put down his teacup, lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and wisps of thunder light scattered, indicating his inner turmoil.

”Since it’s a great Opportunity, why doesn’t Miss Mo Li go herself? Why bother coming to find me? Isn’t this superfluous?”

”It’s not superfluous.”

Mo Li shook her head upon hearing this, her expression serious: ”It’s not that I don’t want to go myself, but that ruin is related to the Ancient Thunder Palace and needs to be opened with the Magic Treasure Immortal Artifact of the Thunder Palace, which is why I came to the Chen Family to find you.”

”Ancient Thunder Palace ruins... needs the Magic Treasure Immortal Artifact of the Thunder Palace to open...”

Chen Zhuxiao mused inwardly. Mo Li wouldn’t come to him for no reason. Could this be True Monarch Shuxuan’s intention?

After all, it involves the xuan shu thunder punishment seal, an Immortal Artifact of the Thunder Palace. Great True Person Guzhou probably can’t make the decision; perhaps only True Monarch Shuxuan could arrange such a plan.

”Is this True Monarch Shuxuan’s intention?” Chen Zhuxiao looked directly at Mo Li and asked again: ”How is True Monarch Shuxuan now? Has he returned from beyond the heavens?”

More than ten years have passed since True Monarch Shuxuan, True Monarch Lu Ge, and Artifact Inscription, among other True Monarchs, went to fight beyond the heavens.

The outcome of this battle concerns the plans of all parties and is enough to affect thepattern of the Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom.

For the Chen Family, they naturally stand firmly with True Monarch Shuxuan. If True Monarch Shuxuan loses, the Chen Family will likely face the Xuan Yuan Sect’s reckoning in an instant.

The conflict between the Chen Family and the Xuan Yuan Sect is irreconcilable; they are on opposing sides, and this Karma will eventually be settled.

Mo Li took another sip of tea and shook her head slightly: ”Battles between Golden Core Cultivators are not like Foundation Establishment or Purple Mansion Cultivators where a victor can be decided quickly. Especially to kill and destroy the opponent, the effort required is far greater than merely defeating them.”

A Golden Core True Monarch connects with their desired position, using the power of their Dao rank to condense a point of imperishable Golden Nature, thereby nurturing a Golden Core within their Purple Mansion.

Once successful, the Divine Ability Dao Patterns engraved on the Purple Mansion will merge into one, becoming innate Dao Patterns engraved on the Golden Core, with power many times stronger than Purple Mansion Divine Abilities.

This is only one transformation. After achieving the Golden Core, a Cultivator’s Divine Ability and magical power will sublimate into Golden Core Dao power, containing the power of the Dao.

The Physical Body and Divine Soul of a Golden Core True Monarch will also change, transforming into a Golden Core Dao Body and Golden Core Primordial Spirit, capable of manifesting a Golden Core Dharma Aspect and traveling through all the heavens and myriad realms.

As long as the Golden Core remains, a Golden Core True Monarch is immortal. Only by destroying the Golden Core can a Golden Core True Monarch truly be killed.

”With a single Golden Core swallowed, my destiny is mine, not heaven’s. Only by achieving the Golden Core can one be considered to have accomplished something on the Immortal Dao and be ranked as a True Monarch.”

Chen Zhuxiao sighed. The Purple Mansion realm held no great secrets for him anymore; he could soon enter secluded Cultivation to Breakthrough.

However, the Golden Core realm, though only one realm away from Purple Mansion, had an indescribable difference, like being separated by thirty-three heavens.

Moreover, it was not difficult to deduce from Mo Li’s words that True Monarch Shuxuan’s side held the upper hand, otherwise Mo Li would not have used the words ”kill and destroy.”

This also made Chen Zhuxiao breathe a sigh of relief. The stronger True Monarch Shuxuan was, the more beneficial it would be for the Chen Family.

If this True Monarch could comprehend the Dao of the Nascent Soul Earth Immortal in this battle, it would be best, and the Chen Family would have a Pivot Thunder Earth Immortal as their backing.

”Alright, we’ve strayed a bit.”

Mo Li spoke, her amber-like eyes darting around, looking at Chen Zhuxiao with a half-smile.

”So, may I ask, Chen Family Head, if you would be willing to go with me to the Thunder Palace ruins?”

Chen Zhuxiao sat upright, feeling inexplicably guilty, but then he remembered that he was now the Chen Family Head, representing the Chen Family’s dignity, and he immediately straightened up.

”This... I’m afraid I still need to discuss it with my father and the others.”

Mo Li chuckled softly: ”Do you know what kind of person left behind that Thunder Palace ruin?”

”Zhu Xiao does not know.” Chen Zhuxiao shook his head; he knew nothing.

”It was left by a Divine Thunder Nascent Soul who also cultivated the Dao of the Sword. It might contain Immortal Arts and Immortal Artifacts created by this Divine Thunder Sword Immortal.”

”What?!”

Chen Zhuxiao was startled. Ruins left by a Divine Thunder Nascent Soul who cultivated the Dao of the Sword?

Isn’t this just a super-magnified version of himself?

Regardless of whether one Cultivates the Dao of the Sword, just the Cultivation insights left by this Divine Thunder Nascent Soul are priceless, not to mention Immortal Arts and Immortal Artifacts. If brought out, the Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom would be shaken, and Nascent Soul Earth Immortals would even fight over them.

”Is this True Monarch Shuxuan’s intention, or do you want me to go?”

Chen Zhuxiao looked up, his eyes blazing, with azure thunder light appearing, and stared at Mo Li.

”...Both.”

Mo Li lightly pursed her red lips, responding thus.

Just as the two were talking, above the Chen Family residence.

”What is all this? Can’t that kid tell this girl has a crush on him?” Yuan Feng complained while eating a spirit banana.

”Brother Yuan, I remember Great True Person Guzhou’s surname is Mo, and his name is Mo Youming. This young lady is called Mo Li. Could there be a connection between them?” Chen Fufeng, beside him, pondered.

As an old hand who had struggled at the bottom of the Cultivation World for many years, his perspective on various matters was broader and more far-reaching.

”It doesn’t matter, it’s not a big problem. Unless Old Man Mo refines his Golden Nature and becomes a False Core Cultivator, he’s definitely no match for me.”

Yuan Feng patted his chest, giving Chen Fufeng a look that said, ’Don’t worry, I’ve got this.’

He had met Mo Youming a few times, and combining that with his current strength, he deduced that Mo Youming was very likely no match for him.

To be honest, he didn’t even know how strong he currently was, but he could certainly suppress ordinary Five Methods Great True Persons.

”Brother Yuan, actually it’s fine. This Miss Mo Li only has a Great True Person Guzhou backing her, not the daughter of some Golden Core True Monarch or the Saintess of a Golden Core great sect.”

Chen Fufeng really broke into a sweat for Chen Zhuxiao. He could already imagine what a future harem on fire would look like; the Chen Family would definitely be in chaos.

Yuan Feng got a headache when he heard this. Such matters were the most difficult to handle.

If things went wrong, that kid Chen Zhuxiao might even run to the Back Mountain Cliff for refuge, and then he would be the one suffering.

”However, marrying three means at least three children, which is also a good thing.”

Yuan Feng cleared his negative emotions and thought of the good aspects.

The girls involved with Chen Zhuxiao were all exceptionally beautiful and highly talented.

The descendants born from their union would definitely have high Cultivation Aptitude, which represented a large sum of clan destiny points.

”Zhu Xiao, work harder, preferably marry ten or eight, and strengthen the Chen Family well.”

Chen Family Residence.

Chen Zhuxiao and Mo Li walked out of the living room; they had finished their discussion.

Chen Zhuxiao would go to the Thunder Palace ruins with Mo Li, but he needed to inform Chen Fufeng first, arrange the Chen Family’s affairs, and then depart.

Just like that, Chen Zhuxiao led Mo Li directly into Luoyun Mountain.

The latter was visiting for the first time, curiously looking around, her willow-like eyebrows curved, seemingly in a good mood.

”It’s only been this many years, and the Chen Family already has such an imposing presence. Remarkable.”

Chen Zhuxiao smiled upon hearing this: ”This is all thanks to Uncle Yuan. Without Uncle Yuan, my Chen Family probably wouldn’t even be a Foundation Establishment Family.”

”Battle Demon King?”

Mo Li walked with light steps, her hands behind her back, ascending the White Jade Plaza one step ahead of Chen Zhuxiao.

A little girl in a red dress, carved from pink jade, was just about to run down the mountain when she saw Mo Li, who looked like a Fairy descending to the mortal world, coming up.

”Wow, what a beautiful older sister.”

Mo Li heard this, her brows filled with smiles. She bent down and softly said, ”You’re very beautiful too, little girl.”

”Thank you, older sister.” The little girl held Mo Li’s hand and gently swayed it.

At this moment, Chen Zhuxiao arrived late. The little girl quickly let go, skipped to his side, took his hand, and showed two small fangs: ”Dad, where did you go?”

Mo Li: ?

”You... you... you have a daughter?!”

Her amber eyes widened, Mo Li’s tone filled with surprise and panic.

Chen Zhuxiao sighed slightly, holding Chen Xianting’s hand, and introduced: ”This is my daughter, Chen Xianting.”

”Then... then your wife or Dao Companion?”

Mo Li pursed her red lips, her amber eyes looking around.

”She’s not here. I don’t have a wife or Dao Companion right now.” Chen Zhuxiao said frankly.

”Then... how did she... come to be?”

Mo Li looked at Chen Xianting, who made a face at her.

”An accident.”

Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes held a gentle look, which soon turned resolute, ”When I reach Golden Core, I will bring her back to the Chen Family, so our Family can reunite.”

Mo Li fell silent, her heart far from calm, as if colossal waves had been stirred up, causing ripples throughout her state of mind.

Afterward, Chen Zhuxiao took her to an elegant and quiet courtyard for temporary residence.

”Miss Mo Li, I still need to arrange specific matters for the Chen Family. I trouble you to wait here for a few days.”

”Chen Family Head, no hurry. Let’s talk after you’ve made your arrangements.”

Chen Zhuxiao was about to leave, but Chen Xianting insisted on staying with the pretty older sister. Chen Zhuxiao couldn’t refuse her and could only ask Mo Li to look after her.

The latter did not refuse and immediately agreed.

Then Chen Zhuxiao went to work.

He first pulled Chen Fufeng, who was lying flat in retirement, to temporarily act as the Chen Family Head.

Then, after learning the news of Yuan Feng’s emergence from seclusion from Chen Fufeng, he went to the Back Mountain Cliff.

Yuan Feng knew he was going to the Ancient Thunder Palace ruins, encouraged him, tore off three strands of hair and gave them to him, instructing him to activate one if he encountered danger.

Finally, he returned to the Grand Deliberation Hall, completed the tasks that needed to be handled, and arranged a series of subsequent matters.

Three days passed, and Chen Zhuxiao once again came to the courtyard where Mo Li was staying.

Chen Xianting got along very well with her, calling her ”pretty older sister,” which made Mo Li’s willow-like eyebrows curve, and her mood became pleasant.

Not long after, two rainbow lights flew out of Luoyun Mountain, heading northeast.
