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

165: Chapter 165 Cause and Effect, ArrivalThe person sent by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was a middle-aged male Cultivator wearing a black robe, with a cyan jade pendant carved with the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion pattern clipped to his waist. His cultivation was Foundation Establishment Peak.

”Zhu Quan, Steward of the Liyuan Commandery Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, respectfully requests an audience with Patriarch Chen by order of Great True Person Guzhou.”

At the foot of Luoyun Mountain, Zhu Quan explained his purpose to the Gate-Guarding Disciples.

”Senior Zhu, please wait a moment while we report this.”

A Gate-Guarding Disciple cupped his hands and bowed.

Following this, the Gate-Guarding Disciple took out a Sound Transmission Jade Talisman and transmitted the message that someone from the Liyuan Commandery Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion wished to see the Patriarch.

Soon, the Elder of the Affairs Hall on Luoyun Mountain received the news, went to the Grand Deliberation Hall to find Chen Zhuxiao, and informed him of the message transmitted by the Gate-Guarding Disciple.

”I understand. Elder He, you’ve worked hard.”

Chen Zhuxiao, who had just emerged from secluded cultivation and arrived at the Grand Deliberation Hall not long ago, stood up. His eyes were deep, and he could already see Zhu Quan waiting at the foot of the mountain.

”Bring him up.”

Chen Zhuxiao’s voice sounded in the Gate-Guarding Disciple’s ear, causing his body to tremble slightly with excitement.

The Patriarch had personally transmitted a message—he would have something to brag about later.

”Senior Zhu, please come in.”

The Gate-Guarding Disciple reacted quickly and made a gesture of invitation.

”Thank you.”

Zhu Quan nodded and ascended the steps.

The Gate-Guarding Disciple led the way, taking Zhu Quan up Luoyun Mountain.

Along the way, various buildings came into view, inhabited by all sorts of Cultivators.

There were Branch Line Disciples, as well as External Cultivators, and the residences of some Foundation Establishment Stewards were also located here.

Besides these buildings, acres of Spirit Fields planted with Spirit Rice shone with dazzling spiritual radiance, arranged in terraces that extended all the way down from the mountainside.

Luoyun Mountain was not just one peak. The location of the Chen family’s main lineage was named Luoyun Peak, and it was also the largest peak, having absorbed all the essence of the Luoyun Blessed Land.

The remaining peaks were occupied by the various Halls established by the Chen family. For example, the peak where the Hall of Hundred Arts was located was called Hundred Arts Peak, and its grandeur was second only to Luoyun Peak.

As for the Yunxiao Blessed Land, which had been moved over, it was governed by the Law Enforcement Hall.

Most Guest Elders, as well as the family members of Branch Line Disciples and External Cultivators, were arranged to live in the Yunxiao Blessed Land.

To settle on Luoyun Mountain, one needed to achieve a certain level of contribution to the Chen family.

Of course, as long as one was a Main Line Disciple, they could stay on Luoyun Mountain without needing to make extra contributions.

This was considered preferential treatment for Main Line Disciples, regardless of whether they possessed cultivation talent.

However, if a Main Line Disciple failed to strive for improvement and wasted time, they might be demoted and expelled from Luoyun Mountain, arranged to live in Luoyun City instead.

The Chen family does not support idlers.

Even if you are the Patriarch’s descendant, you must follow the Chen family’s rules.

On the road, the Gate-Guarding Disciple subtly tried to inquire about Zhu Quan’s purpose for coming this time.

To his surprise, Zhu Quan smiled faintly and told him directly.

”Our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is about to establish a Sect. Any Cultivator of the younger generation can participate in the Wanbao Sect’s Sect Entry Assessment. As long as they pass, they can become a Disciple of the Wanbao Sect and enjoy the treatment accorded to an Immortal Sect.”

”So, Senior Zhu, you came to see the Patriarch just to invite the younger generation of our Chen family to participate in the Wanbao Sect’s Sect Entry Trial?”

The Gate-Guarding Disciple’s eyes lit up. His talent was mediocre; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been stuck doing the thankless job of guarding the mountain just to earn contribution points.

If he could become a Disciple of the Wanbao Sect and receive massive resource supplies, he might even be able to advance to the Purple Mansion stage and become an Immortal Master in this lifetime.

Just thinking about this, the Gate-Guarding Disciple’s heart surged with excitement.

”More or less. Our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion believes in education without discrimination—anyone can achieve Immortal Ascension, and even those with low talent can reach the Immortal Throne.”

As Zhu Quan spoke, he patted the Gate-Guarding Disciple’s shoulder and stepped onto the White Jade Plaza.

Elder He, who had previously received the message from the Gate-Guarding Disciple, had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing this, the Gate-Guarding Disciple bowed and excused himself; the matters that followed were not for him to interfere with.

”Fellow Daoist, please follow me.”

After Elder He finished speaking, he led the way with rapid steps.

Before long, the two arrived at the Grand Deliberation Hall.

Chen Zhuxiao was seated in the principal seat. Mo Li, who had arrived at some unknown time, was seated on his right.

”Greetings, Patriarch Chen, greetings, Young Miss Mo Li.”

Zhu Quan hastily bowed.

”Steward Zhu is too polite. May I ask the purpose of your visit this time?”

Chen Zhuxiao’s tone was calm, but the majesty of his Divine Thunder naturally emanated, filling the hall with a chilling aura.

”I am carrying out the orders of Great True Person Guzhou to deliver a few words to Patriarch Chen.”

Zhu Quan said, lowering his head.

”What words?”

Chen Zhuxiao’s expression was calm.

”That year, that time, Tianyu Cave Mansion.”

”Li Fire is gone; Divine Thunder, Jia Wood, Geng Metal, and Thick Earth remain.”

”The cause of that year yields the effect of today. The day of the Establishment of a Sect is the time for the conclusion.”

After Zhu Quan finished speaking, he stood respectfully to the side.

”We’re clearly relatives by marriage, yet he has to put on this show. Is the Great True Person dissatisfied with me?”

Although he looked nonchalant on the surface, inwardly he was panicking intensely, secretly grumbling to himself.

”This Sovereign understands.”

Chen Zhuxiao lowered his eyes and said faintly.

”Elder He, please treat Steward Zhu well.”

”Understood, Patriarch.”

Elder He received the order and looked at Steward Zhu.

The latter seized the opportunity and quickly said, ”Patriarch Chen is too kind. I must return to report on my mission and should not stay here long, please allow this Junior to take his leave.”

Chen Zhuxiao nodded.

”Steward Zhu, I will see you out.”

Elder He said with a smile.

Afterward, the two left the Grand Deliberation Hall one after the other.

”That stinky old man, being all mysterious! Doesn’t he just want you to attend the Wanbao Sect’s Sect Establishment Ceremony?”

Mo Li crossed her arms, expressing great dissatisfaction.

As Mo Youming’s granddaughter, she naturally knew the specific details regarding the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s Establishment of a Sect.

”Senior Lone Boat doing this is probably just a formality, so he has an explanation for those above.”

Chen Zhuxiao said softly to the beauty.

”Zhu Xiao, I feel uneasy. I have a feeling that something unusual will happen at the Sect Establishment Ceremony three days from now. You must be careful.”

Hearing this, a look of worry flashed in Mo Li’s eyes, and she rested her head on Chen Zhuxiao’s shoulder.

”If it’s a blessing, it won’t be a disaster; if it’s a disaster, it can’t be avoided.”

”This is the Karma I must face, and it is also my tribulation.”

”If I flee, I will be fleeing the Dao I walk, violating my Dao Heart.”

Chen Zhuxiao wrapped one arm around Mo Li’s waist, extended the other hand, and his Divine Thunder Magic Power surged, transforming into various Thunder Dao Phenomena.

”Chen Zhuxiao, if you die, I will commit suicide for love.”

Mo Li raised her head and said seriously.

”I won’t die. Didn’t we agree to walk the path of eternal life together? I...”

Before Chen Zhuxiao could finish speaking, Mo Li kissed him... Three days later, at the Luoyun Mountain White Jade Plaza.

”Diminutive form of Zhuxiao, return safely.”

Chen Fufeng looked at Chen Zhuxiao, his eyes slightly red, a thousand words condensing into one sentence.

”Father, I will return safely.”

Chen Zhuxiao said solemnly.

Next, he bid farewell to Chen Zhuhong and the others.

As for Ji Wanqing, she did not come to see him because she was too worried about him.

Once he returned safely, Ji Wanqing would naturally come to see him and hear him report his safe return.

”Li’er, let’s go.”

Chen Zhuxiao took Mo Li’s hand, tore open the Void Realm, and escaped into the Great Void without looking back.

Half an hour later, the two of them stepped out of the Great Void and arrived outside a Blessed Land radiating spiritual light and shrouded in Immortal aura.

This was the location of the Wanbao Sect’s Headquarters, established by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion within Xuan Prefecture.

The location was situated fifty thousand miles west of Liyuan Commandery.

”They used a Medium Grade Blessed Land as the base for just a Prefecture-level Branch Sect? Is this the heritage of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?”

Chen Zhuxiao looked at the Blessed Land before him, sparkling with Immortal light and radiating auspicious glow, and couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

”If you go to the Central Domain, where the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Headquarters is located, you will understand that a Medium Grade Blessed Land is nothing special.”

Mo Li smiled, pursing her lips.

”The Central Domain?”

Chen Zhuxiao murmured to himself, a fierce bolt of lightning flashing in his eyes: ”That day will come.”

At this moment, a rainbow light flew out from the Blessed Land, revealing a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator wearing the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion uniform.

”You must be Patriarch Chen? Please follow me.”

Chen Zhuxiao nodded, and he and Mo Li followed the person into the Blessed Land.

Upon entering the Blessed Land, dense Spiritual Qi rushed toward them. Spirit Mountains rose from the ground, topped by towering ancient trees and flying silver waterfalls, inhabited by numerous Strange Birds and Exotic Beasts.

On both sides of the road, various Rare Flowers and Exotic Plants were planted. Blocks of Spirit Fields and Medicine Fields were neatly situated nearby, the Spirit Grain shimmering with colorful light, and the Spirit Medicine emitting a fragrant scent.

The further they walked inside, the denser the Spiritual Qi became. The tide-like Spiritual Qi enveloped the three of them, making it feel as if they had arrived in the domain of Immortals.

Magnificent and luxurious buildings stood tall: jade palaces, emerald tiles, vermilion eaves, and carved rafters.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Foundation Establishment Cultivator led Chen Zhuxiao and Mo Li to a grand hall named Ten Thousand Prodigies.

”Patriarch Chen, please enter.”

Chen Zhuxiao walked into the great hall; it was resplendent and magnificent, as if he had arrived at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

dao platforms crafted from Lapis Lazuli Treasure Jade were placed throughout the hall, and many of them were already occupied by Cultivators.

A quick scan showed that Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were the majority, with Purple Mansion True Persons being the minority.

However, all these Cultivators shared one characteristic: they were not old, all being under one hundred years of age.

”Chen Zhuxiao, over here.”

A shout interrupted Chen Zhuxiao’s thoughts. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw several familiar figures.

They were the young Cultivators he had encountered while competing for the miscellaneous talks on questioning thunder by shu xuan inside the Tianyu Cave Mansion!

Specifically, Liu Qingyi, Shen Houfu, and Yang Di.

As for Li Junyan, he had long been killed by Chen Zhuxiao.

”Zhu Xiao, go ahead.”

Mo Li released his hand; she had other things to attend to.

Alright.

Chen Zhuxiao nodded and walked toward the dao platform where the others were located.

Before he even got close, he heard Shen Houfu ask, ”I heard you killed that guy Li Junyan? Well done!”
