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

157: The location of Chapter 157 is troublesome.”After decades of hard work, I have finally reached the Purple Mansion Realm.”

With a soft sigh, thunder rolled across the sky, and the Purple Mansion’s Qi energy swept across a thousand miles.

A thundercloud spanning dozens of miles appeared above Luoyun Mountain, and brilliant, dazzling bolts of lightning flashed within it, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

Upon achieving a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, one’s own spiritual opportunity forms an Acquired spectacle, giving birth to various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects aligned with one’s Dao.

For example, the thundercloud formed after Chen Zhuxiao’s Breakthrough can nurture various Spiritual Items of the Divine Thunder Path, reaching the Purple Mansion level at its highest, though this requires many years of gestation.

When Yuan Feng achieved a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, it was quite unique; all his Purple Mansion spiritual opportunity was absorbed by the great tree rooted on Wangyue Cliff, greatly increasing its spirituality and making it more intelligent than ordinary people.

”Congratulations to the Family Head on achieving a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, ranking among the Immortal Masters, and gaining a thousand years of Lifespan.”

Heaven Forger Great Master arrived sometime unknown, holding a Yellowish-Brown Precious Seal. A rich Xu Earth Qi permeated the air, and hazy Xu Earth radiance shot out in all directions, faintly leaking terrifying fluctuations capable of suppressing ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

”Heaven Forger Great Master, you are too kind.”

Chen Zhuxiao descended from the air, his gaze immediately falling upon the Yellowish-Brown Precious Seal. With a thought, lightning flashed: ”Has the pseudo-magic treasure requested from the Great Master been completed?”

”Indeed.”

Heaven Forger Great Master seemed to be in a good mood. After stroking his beard, he said, ”The xu yuan town extreme seal core that the Family Head entrusted to me leans toward the aspect of sealing and suppression. If this old man is not mistaken, the owner of that Golden Nature should have sensed the position of [Northern Suppressor], though I don’t know if it was the Primary Position or the Secondary Position.”

”It should be the Secondary Position. If it were the Primary Position, they certainly wouldn’t have been defeated and died so easily.”

Chen Zhuxiao said.

Positions in the world are divided into three types: dao position, Primary Position, and Secondary Position.

Among them, the dao position is the embodiment of the Dao’s essence, the carrier of the Great Dao. One who occupies a dao position is equivalent to merging with the Dao, conforming to the Great Dao, and is respectfully called a Dao Lord.

The Primary and Secondary Positions are extensions of the Dao’s essence, manifestations of the Great Dao.

For instance, the Dao of Earth can extend into Xu Earth, gen-earth, Thick Earth, ji earth, and She Earth.

And the Five Earths can be further divided into multiple Primary Positions and Secondary Positions, thus there are still many positions in the world.

However, there is only one dao position. If someone occupies it, then the Cultivators of that Dao will be constrained by the Dao Lord of that Dao.

For example, if someone is in the Xu Earth Dao Position, then every action of this Xu Earth Dao Lord will affect all Xu Earth Cultivators under heaven, even those who occupy the Xu Earth Primary Position.

As for the Primary and Secondary Positions, naturally, the Primary Position is revered and the Secondary Position is supplementary; the former controls greater authority of the Great Dao than the latter.

Of course, this is not absolute.

The stronger the Dao, the higher the Status of the positions derived from it.

Just like the Sun Secondary Position is higher than the Five Elements Primary Position; this is the influence brought by Status.

”Primary Positions also have distinctions of strength and weakness. The Family Head cultivates Divine Thunder, so naturally, he understands the meaning behind this.”

Heaven Forger Great Master stroked his beard and smiled.

”Yes, everything has distinctions of superiority and inferiority, and positions are no exception.”

Chen Zhuxiao said meaningfully.

The further he walked down the Divine Thunder Path, the more he understood the power of the Thunder Dao, and the power of that Thunder Ancestor.

Originally, he thought the Thunder Ancestor achieved the Dao using Pivot Thunder.

But after he attained the Purple Mansion Realm, he seemed to connect with a Divine Thunder Primary Position in the depths of the unknown, vaguely seeing some extraordinary things.

The Thunder Ancestor seems to have achieved the Dao using the complete Thunder Dao. Whether it is Pivot Thunder, Divine Thunder, Upper Heaven Thunder, Shocking Thunder, or Spirit Thunder, all are under the Thunder Ancestor’s control.

”No wonder he is respectfully called an Ancestor. Perhaps, only by grasping a complete Dao can one reach a higher Realm...”

Boom!

A clap of thunder startled Chen Zhuxiao, giving the newly ascended Purple Mansion Cultivator an inexplicable feeling of impending disaster.

”Heaven Forger Great Master, since the Xu Earth pseudo-magic treasure has been forged, have you named it?”

Chen Zhuxiao suppressed the doubt and surprise in his heart and changed the subject.

”Since this pseudo-magic treasure was crafted based on the xu yuan town extreme seal core, why not call it the xu yuan town extreme seal.”

Heaven Forger Great Master said with a smile, handing over the Yellowish-Brown Precious Seal in his hand.

”With this xu yuan town extreme seal, the power of the Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array will certainly rise to the next level, capable of resisting even a False Core Great Power’s attack to some extent.”

Chen Zhuxiao took the xu yuan town extreme seal and examined it carefully.

”The item has been handed to the Family Head. This old man won’t chatter any longer.”

Heaven Forger Great Master was about to turn and leave, but paused slightly and added a remark.

”Thanks to the Family Head for having this old man refine this xu yuan town extreme seal, which raised my Artifact Refining Skill to a new level. For the period ahead, I’m afraid I won’t be able to refine artifacts.”

”Could it be that Great Master intends to enter Seclusion to Break through to Five Methods? Congratulations, congratulations.”

”The next time Zhu Xiao sees Heaven Forger Great Master, I will have to respectfully address you as Great True Person.”

Hearing this, Chen Zhuxiao quickly cupped his hands and spoke.

If Heaven Forger Great Master can achieve a Breakthrough to Five Methods and become a Great True Person, then the Chen Family’s prestige will rise another level.

Moreover, an Artifact Refining Great Master of the Five Methods Purple Mansion is completely different from one of the Four Methods Purple Mansion. The former can refine Spiritual Artifacts with great ease, and the same goes for Spirit Treasures.

As long as the Materials are sufficient, Heaven Forger Great Master can completely refine Spiritual Artifacts in a short time.

”Then this old man shall accept the Family Head’s auspicious words.”

Heaven Forger Great Master smiled, waved his hand, and strode away.

Chen Zhuxiao watched him leave, then went to find Chen Fufeng to inform him about upgrading the Mountain-Protecting Formation.

Inside the Chen Family’s Grand Deliberation Hall.

Chen Fufeng had been waiting for a long time. Chen Zhuxiao’s Breakthrough caused a massive disturbance, alarming not only Luoyun Mountain but also Luoyun City below the mountain.

In just one quarter of an hour, four or five Purple Mansion True Persons residing in Luoyun City wanted to visit the Chen Family to congratulate Chen Zhuxiao on his Breakthrough.

”To upgrade the Mountain-Protecting Formation, we probably need to invite a Formation Great Master.”

Chen Fufeng rubbed his brow. The Chen Family currently did not have a character of the Formation Great Master level presiding over it.

There were some at the Second-tier level, but in front of a Third-tier top-grade Formation, they could only be described as utterly useless.

Because this upgrade requires placing a pseudo-magic treasure inside the Grand Array, the original Five Elements balance will be broken. It requires someone with extremely high Formation Attainment to re-balance the Five Elements, something ordinary Formation Great Masters cannot achieve.

”Father, it’s not a big problem. Your son will make a trip to Changli Commandery City and invite back a Third-tier Peak Formation Great Master.”

After Chen Zhuxiao finished speaking, he immediately left Luoyun Mountain, traveling through The Void, flying towards Changli Commandery City.

Three days later, he returned to Luoyun Mountain with a Formation Great Master who had previously set up a pseudo-Fourth-tier Formation.

Half a month passed. With the help of this Formation Great Master, the xu yuan town extreme seal was successfully placed within the Five Elements Cycle Heaven-Connecting Grand Array.

But soon, a problem emerged.

Although the Luoyun Mountain Spiritual Vein is Third-tier top-grade, it is still somewhat strained to fully activate a Formation that subtly transcends Third-tier top-grade.

The Formation Great Master offered a suggestion: the Chen Family is now powerful enough to expand its territory and seek out multiple Blessed Lands.

Then, using these Blessed Lands as the Formation Foundation, they could establish a Super Grand Array based on multiple Blessed Lands, which would solve the problem of the Spiritual Vein being unable to support the Formation.

”Thank you, Great Master, for your guidance.”

Watching the departing Formation Great Master, Chen Zhuxiao felt a headache coming on.

Blessed Lands are not easy to find, especially Wild Blessed Lands.

Take Xuan Prefecture, for example: ninety percent of the Blessed Lands already have owners. If the Chen Family wants to obtain a Blessed Land, they are bound to conflict with other Forces.

”We should wait until Uncle Yuan comes out of Seclusion. The current Luoyun Mountain Spiritual Vein can still maintain the daily operation of the Mountain-Protecting Formation.”

Chen Zhuxiao’s thoughts turned, and he quickly made a decision.

Just like that, the Chen Family returned to peace, maintaining a low profile in their actions.

However, many Chen Family Disciples were sent out to survey for Blessed Lands everywhere, searching for traces of them.

Chen Fufeng stepped down from the burden of Acting Family Head, dumped all the affairs onto Chen Zhuxiao, and went down the mountain with Ji Wanqing to travel.

This left Chen Zhuxiao feeling somewhat helpless and amused.

As for his Purple Mansion Grand Banquet, after much thought, he decided not to hold it. The current Chen Family is not suitable for a high profile, even though he achieved a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion.

Once Yuan Feng comes out of Seclusion, the Chen Family can begin expanding its territory and seeking Blessed Lands.

On this day, Chen Zhuxiu brought Xie Yunshu to find Chen Zhuxiao.

”The Xie Family of Guangze Prefecture?”

Chen Zhuxiao stood up and paced back and forth inside the Grand Deliberation Hall.

Chen Zhuxiu had already informed him of the whole story regarding the Xie Family Members causing trouble at the Chen Family a few years ago.

Everything started because of Xie Yunshu. She was the ’Goddess’ of the Xie Family of Guangze Prefecture in this generation, required to enter the Xie Family Forbidden Ground to serve the Protective Spirit Beast left by the Xie Family Progenitor, thus gaining the Protective Spirit Beast’s protection.

This Xie Family Goddess was not chosen casually; she needed to possess the Mysterious Purity Spiritual Body and must be a Direct Bloodline of the Xie Family of Guangze Prefecture, with the blood of the Xie Family Old Ancestor flowing through her veins.

But as luck would have it, when Chen Zhuxiu was traveling years ago, he met and befriended Xie Yunshu, who rarely left home, in Guangze Prefecture.

After a series of events, the two fell in love. Xie Yunshu abandoned her Goddess identity and followed Chen Zhuxiu back to the Chen Family, becoming his Dao Companion.

But since the Xie Family Bloodline flowed through her, the Xie Family Members still had ways to find her.

If Heaven Forger Great Master hadn’t held the Ancient Bronze Cauldron to scare away the Xie Family Members previously, there likely would have been bloodshed on Luoyun Mountain.

”I understand, Zhuxiu. You and your Wife can stay safely on Luoyun Mountain. If any member of the Xie Family dares to cause trouble on my Luoyun Mountain, don’t blame my Chen Family for being impolite.”

This was Chen Zhuxiao’s reply to Chen Zhuxiu.

The Chen Family maintains a low profile, but that doesn’t mean they can be bullied arbitrarily.

Blood Rose is a perfect example: the Chen Family’s prestige was bought with the demise of three Five Methods Purple Mansion Cultivators!

After Chen Zhuxiu and the other person left, Chen Zhuxiao contacted Mo Li, asking her to help gather information on the Xie Family of Guangze Prefecture.

Before long, Mo Li, who had also achieved a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion, arrived at Luoyun Mountain and handed a thick stack of documents to Chen Zhuxiao.

Then, this exceptionally beautiful female Cultivator rightfully took up residence in the Chen Family.

Fortunately, Liu Tingyi had left Luoyun Mountain a few years ago to return to the Sacred Fire Cult for Seclusion and a Breakthrough to the Purple Mansion. Otherwise, the two women meeting would surely lead to another fight, causing chaos on Luoyun Mountain.

”The Xie Family Old Ancestor, a Five Methods Purple Mansion Cultivator; the Xie Family Grand Elder, a Four Methods Purple Mansion Cultivator. Besides these two, the Xie Family has three other Purple Mansion True Persons, who are in the Early to Middle Stage of the Purple Mansion Realm.”

”The Xie Family Protective Spirit Beast is a Variant Flood Dragon, suspected of having swallowed Golden Nature, but it was severely injured and has yet to recover. It is stronger than an ordinary Five Methods Purple Mansion Cultivator but weaker than a False Core.”

Chen Zhuxiao looked at the information brought by Mo Li, his brows tightly furrowed, his expression solemn.

”Trouble indeed.”
