137: The Chen Clan, an immortal lineage, with an everlasting legacy!

On the azure virtual panel, all the text was jumping frantically.

Finally, it converged into a golden treasure chest wreathed in chaotic airflow.

The treasure chest had not yet been opened...

The light emanating from it already made Chen Xu's Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul feel a tremor.

【Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Epic-level settlement reward...】

As the treasure chest slowly opened.

A golden light, sufficient to illuminate the entire Sea of Consciousness, erupted suddenly!

As time passed, the light gradually faded, revealing four orbs of light.

Chen Xu looked at the four orbs of light floating before him.

Even with his composure, his breathing could not help but become a bit heavier.

So this is the gold content of an SSS+ level reward?

【Reward One: One Thousand Years of Lifespan!】

The moment the first orb of light merged into his body.

Chen Xu only felt a warm current instantly wash through his entire body.

One thousand years.

For a Nascent Soul Cultivator, this was almost equivalent to living another life.

In this caged world where the "path is broken".

Lifespan is often more maddening than cultivation base.

Before he could savor this comfort in detail.

The second orb of light exploded immediately after.

【Reward Two: One Hundred Years of Cultivation Base Instilled!】

Boom!

This time, it was not a gentle warm current.

But a violent tsunami of Spiritual Qi!

Inside Chen Xu's Dantian and Purple Mansion, that Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul, which had been burping, suddenly opened its eyes.

Its small face showed astonishment, followed by wild joy.

This Spiritual Qi was too pure.

It did not even need to be refined; it could be directly absorbed and utilized.

Crack~.

It felt as if something had shattered inside his body.

His cultivation base, which had already reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage, was pushed forward by this tyrannical force.

It was like breaking through bamboo.

Late Stage middle phase... Late Stage high phase...

Until—the Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

Just that one final kick away from Great Perfection.

Chen Xu slowly exhaled, feeling his entire strength rise to a higher level.

He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within his body, enough to crush a mountain Peak with a casual gesture.

But this was not the end.

【Reward Three: Special Bloodline Talent—Imperial Dao Pressure!】

【Reward Four: Special Architecture—Myriad Dao Pavilion!】

Two streams of light simultaneously drilled into his glabella.

The information regarding "Imperial Dao Pressure" was instantly understood.

This thing was not for him, but for the descendants of the Chen Family.

Once activated, Chen Family descendants would naturally possess the aura of a superior.

Cultivating Imperial Dao Cultivation Techniques would be exceptionally rapid.

This was to build an eternal royal Family.

And that "Myriad Dao Pavilion"...

Chen Xu's Divine Sense swept across the System space, and a nine-story pagoda, exquisite and transparent, radiating an ancient Dao charm, floated quietly.

It contained the universe within, could automatically deduce incomplete Cultivation Techniques, and could fuse thousands of Spells.

It could even allow clan members to conduct simulated combat within it, increasing the speed of Dao enlightenment by more than ten times.

This was not a building; it was clearly a factory for mass-producing geniuses!

With this, why worry about the Chen Family not prospering?

Just then, everyone around could feel that the aura on Chen Xu seemed to have become stronger.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat; could it be that the Family Head had broken through again?

This aura fluctuation flashed and disappeared.

It was so fast that everyone thought it was an illusion.

But Cultivators of the level of Chen Daoxuan, Great Feng Dynasty Emperor Qin Zhe, and Daoist Yuqing.

Were so shocked that their eyeballs were about to fall out.

Illusion? Absolutely not!

That moment just now, although brief, the qualitative change in that power, that smooth and perfect Dao charm bordering on Great Perfection, could not deceive anyone!

Good heavens!

They were still shocked by the Family Head unifying the Central Prefecture and sweeping away the Demonic Path.

As a result, he had just landed and hugged his wife and children.

In the time it took to say a few words, he had broken through again?!

Peak of the Late Nascent Soul Stage!

He was only a layer of window paper away from that legendary Deity Transformation Dao Monarch!

This... is this not letting people live?

Qin Zhe's mouth twitched wildly.

He, the nominal ruler of the Great Feng Dynasty, was completely like a toddler just learning to walk in front of the Chen Family Head!

"Ahem."

Chen Xu felt the surging power within his body and the "Myriad Dao Pavilion" in the System that could automatically deduce Cultivation Techniques, and was in a great mood.

"The Demonic Path has been quelled, the Central Prefecture is unified; today, we shall celebrate greatly."

He swept his gaze across everyone, finally landing on Qin Zhe and Daoist Yuqing.

"Pass the order: the Chen Family will hold a great banquet, non-stop for three days! Take out all the Spirit Wine and Spirit Fruits, and drink this cup with the fellow Daoists of the South Spirit Prefecture!"

"Yes!"

With the order given, the entire Chen Family instantly boiled over.

For the next three days, the entire Great Feng Dynasty was exceptionally lively.

The spoils of war that Chen Xu had seized from the four great demonic Sects were piled like mountains.

Those ten-thousand-year Spirit Wines, which could be considered treasures even in the Central Prefecture, were now filling the banquet like free spring water.

The Dragon-Tiger Phoenix Marrow Pill, which usually only Sect Masters and Elders could taste.

Was distributed to the juniors of the Chen Family like jelly beans.

The Cultivators of the entire South Spirit Prefecture went crazy.

Countless people rushed from all directions, just to catch a glimpse of that legendary Alliance Leader from afar.

To be able to rub off some of the Chen Family's Immortal Qi.

At the banquet, Qin Zhe held his wine glass, wanting to go forward to toast several times, but found that Chen Xu was always surrounded by people.

Not those Sect Masters and Elders, but the women, children, and elderly of the Chen Family.

Chen Xu would sometimes hold his little daughter, listening to her milky voice complaining about which brother snatched her candied hawthorn.

Sometimes he would be pestered by a few half-grown boys who insisted on hearing him tell stories of the battles in the Central Prefecture.

There was not a trace of impatience on his face; that patience and gentleness were like two different people compared to the peerless fierce man rumored to be decisive in killing and wiping out entire families at the slightest disagreement.

But the more this was the case, the more it made Qin Zhe, Daoist Yuqing, and others feel awe.

A true powerhouse is not a tiger that shows its fangs at all times.

But a True Dragon that can sheath all its sharpness.

It only reveals the sharp claws capable of tearing the heavens apart when protecting what it treasures.

Three days of revelry, guests and hosts were all satisfied.

When the banquet ended, the Chen Family finally returned to its former tranquility.

Chen Xu had declined all social engagements during these few days, focusing on accompanying his Family.

He listened to Bu Yifan talk about the expansion of the Family business, watched Sun Xiaoyue tend to the Spirit Medicine garden in the backyard, and strolled under the moon with Qin Rouer and several wives and concubines.

This tranquility and warmth were the entire meaning of his battles and fighting.

However, this tranquility was destined not to last long.

On this day, Chen Xu was in the back mountain guiding a few clan disciples in cultivation when Chen Daoxuan walked over quickly, holding several transmission jade talismans flashing with different lights.

"Family Head, urgent news from the Central Prefecture."

Chen Daoxuan's expression was grave.

Chen Xu took the jade talismans and swept his Divine Sense across them.

One familiar and anxious voice after another.

Resounded in his mind.

"Alliance Leader! Where are you? The Central Prefecture cannot be without a master for a single day! If you do not return, those Sects and families that have just submitted will likely develop ulterior motives again!"

This was the rough voice of the Sect Master of the Hegemon Blade Sect.

"Sir, Zhuyun knows you miss your Family, but the Central Prefecture has just been settled and undercurrents are surging. We hope you will prioritize the overall situation and return soon to sit in the center."

This was the pleading of the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Valley.

"Alliance Leader Chen, giggle giggle... If you do not return, my Illusory Sound Immortal Sect will likely be torn apart by those stinky men..."

This was the transmission from Liu Ruyan, carrying a hint of coquettishness and resentment.

The content of the few transmissions was much the same.

The Central Prefecture could not do without him.

Or rather, those Sects that had just tasted the fruits of victory and divided up the massive resources of the Demonic Path.

Were afraid of losing him, their pillar of stability.

The Central Prefecture without Chen Xu sitting in charge would very likely fall into Chaos again.

Chen Xu put down the jade talismans, his eyes calm.

All of this was already within his expectations.

He was silent for a moment, then said to Chen Daoxuan: "Summon all core clan members, as well as Daoist Yuqing and Chu Xuan, to the main council hall."

"Yes!"

...

The Chen Family's main council hall.

The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Those who could sit here were the true core of the Chen Family.

Family Head Chen Xu sat high in the seat of honor.

Below, Chen Daoxuan, Chen Daochu, and other Family Elders sat on both sides.

Daoist Yuqing and Chu Xuan, two guests who had long been inseparable from the Chen Family.

Were also prominently listed.

And beside Chen Xu, seats were specially set for Bu Yifan, Sun Xiaoyue, Qin Rouer, and his wives and concubines.

Seats were set.

This was unimaginable in any other cultivation Family.

But in the Chen Family, it had long since become the norm.

Chen Xu made the content of those transmission jade talismans public, then spoke indifferently.

"The major Sects of the Central Prefecture want me to go back to preside over the overall situation."

"What they mean is that they hope our Chen Family will move the entire clan to the Central Prefecture."

"Speak up, what are your thoughts?"

As his voice fell, the hall was silent.

Everyone was deeply shocked by this news.

Move the entire clan?

This was no small matter.

As the pillar of the Family, Chen Daoxuan spoke first, his expression somewhat hesitant: "Father, the South Spirit Prefecture is the Foundation of our Chen Family. If we move away rashly..."

Before he could finish, Chen Daochu, who was on the side, could not suppress his excitement and interrupted: "Big Brother, that is wrong! What do you mean by rash? This is a Dragon returning to the sea!"

"This small pond of South Spirit Prefecture, with thin Spiritual Qi and scarce resources, is no longer worthy of the Chen Family's status!"

"What kind of place is the Central Prefecture? That is the center of the Cultivation World! I heard that any Spiritual Vein there is a hundred times stronger than our Qingyun Mountain Range."

"If the children in the clan can Cultivate there, their achievements will surely be limitless!"

"But it is hard to leave one's homeland..."

"Short-sighted! Cultivators should contend with Heaven for their lives; how can they be fettered by a mere homeland!"

The two brothers immediately began to argue.

Just then, Daoist Yuqing, who had been silent all along, slowly stood up.

He bowed to Chen Xu, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"Family Head! This old Daoist believes we must go!"

Everyone's eyes focused on him.

Daoist Yuqing took a deep breath and then spoke: "For the Family Head, the South Spirit Prefecture is already a pond, and you, Family Head, are a true Nine Heavens Dragon!"

"A pond cannot raise a True Dragon!"

"Only the vast world of the Central Prefecture can allow the Chen Family, this crouching dragon, to completely soar! The resources there, the connections there, and the horizon there are far beyond what this remote corner of South Spirit Prefecture can compare to!"

He became more excited as he spoke, his old face turning red.

"For our Chen Immortal Clan to last through eternity, and to become the true Dominator of the Cultivation World, we must stand at the pinnacle of the world!"

"And the Central Prefecture is that pinnacle!"

The phrase "our Chen Immortal Clan" made the hearts of the Chen Family members warm.

Daoist Yuqing had long considered himself a part of the Chen Family.

"The Daoist is right!"

Chu Xuan also stood up. He looked at Chen Xu with fervent eyes: "Wherever you are, Family Head, that is the center! But the Central Prefecture can make our entire Family stronger! Develop faster!"

"We cannot live under your wings forever; we also want to share the burden for you!"

These words made the younger generation of the Chen Family present boil with excitement.

Chen Xu nodded and turned his gaze to his wives.

"What about you?"

Bu Yifan stood up and smiled gently, a smile that could make a hundred flowers lose their color.

"Wherever my husband is, that is home. No matter where you go, we sisters will take the children and accompany you."

Sun Xiaoyue, Qin Rouer, and the other wives and concubines also nodded in unison, their eyes firm.

They did not understand the big picture or resources; they only knew that a Family must always be together.

Chen Xu smiled.

He slowly stood up, and the great hall instantly fell silent.

Everyone held their breath... waiting for his final decision.

Chen Xu's gaze swept over everyone, over those faces that were excited, expectant, or firm.

He already had the answer in his heart.

Going to the Central Prefecture was not just for resources or power.

It was even more so because it was one step closer to the "truth" of this world.

"Daoist Master Yuqing is right."

"A pond cannot raise a true Dragon."

Chen Xu paused, then continued: "Pass on my order!"

Everyone perked up and bowed in unison.

Chen Xu's gaze looked towards the north, the land he had just conquered.

"Three days from now, the entire Chen Family will migrate to the Central Prefecture!"

Before the words faded, he spoke again: "Using the former site of the Heavenly Sword Sect as the Foundation, establish our Chen Immortal Clan, an eternal Foundation!"

Three days later.

Above the Great Feng Capital City, a fleet so huge it was unimaginable completely blotted out the sunlight.

Thousands of war vessels, each hundreds of zhang long.

The hulls still carried the bloody Evil Qi from the war in the Central Prefecture.

They formed a massive fleet that covered the sky, slowly rising into the air amidst the gazes of countless Great Feng Dynasty Cultivators.

"Is… is this the Foundation of the Chen Family?"

"Heavens, when has our South Spirit Prefecture ever had such a grand spectacle!"

Countless Cultivators looked up at the sky, feeling their Dao Hearts trembling.

A true Dragon was leaving this small pond.

On the Azure Dragon flagship.

Chen Xu stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, his green robes fluttering.

His gaze was calm, looking far into the north.

Behind him, Bu Yifan, Sun Xiaoyue, Qin Rouer, and other wives and concubines, as well as the Chen Family children, all stood on the deck.

They watched their homeland below, which was becoming smaller and smaller, their eyes full of excitement and reluctance.

"Husband, will we ever come back?"

Sun Xiaoyue asked softly.

Chen Xu did not turn around and spoke calmly:

"We are not leaving."

"We are turning the entire world into our home."

As the words fell.

"Woo—!"

A bleak horn sound echoed through the clouds.

Thousands of warship engines roared, turning into streaks of light, tearing through the clouds, and speeding towards the direction of the Central Prefecture!

The fleet's speed was extremely fast.

The mountains and rivers along the way flew backward beneath their feet.

In just a few days, the fleet had crossed endless territories and arrived at the center of the Central Prefecture, the former site of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

This was once the number one Sect in the Central Prefecture, possessing the number one Dragon vein in the world.

Its current prosperity was far inferior to the past.

However, the majestic Spiritual Qi deeply hidden beneath the earth was still shocking.

"Hum—!"

The massive fleet hovered slowly, a huge shadow covering the entire mountain range.

The next moment, Chen Xu's figure leaped down from the flagship.

He did not use any Magic Treasure, simply hovering at an altitude of ten thousand zhang.

He overlooked the former site of the Heavenly Sword Sect below.

He slowly raised his right hand, forming a hand seal with one hand.

"Today, this place shall be the Chen Family Holy Land!"

The voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain supreme heavenly might, spreading in all directions.

Hum—!

A phantom of an ancient and vast golden seal quietly appeared above his head.

The human emperor seal!

Chen Xu's eyes narrowed, and he pressed down fiercely towards the earth below!

"Dragon vein, rise!"

Rumble—!!!

The entire earth trembled violently at this moment!

It was as if an ancient giant beast that had been sleeping for countless years was slowly waking up deep within the earth's core!

Roar—!!!

A Dragon roar that shook the past and present erupted from deep underground!

Immediately after!

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of Chen Family clansmen and countless others.

A golden pillar of light, brilliant to the extreme, suddenly shot up into the sky from beneath the main Peak of the former site of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Inside that pillar of light, a golden Dragon ten thousand li long broke free from the earth's shackles and roared as it soared into the sky!

Its entire Dragon body was composed of the power of Luck, its golden Dragon scales vivid and lifelike, and between the opening and closing of its Dragon eyes, there were even scenes of the sun and moon rising and falling!

A ten-thousand-li Luck golden Dragon!

It coiled high in the sky, its huge Dragon head almost reaching deep into the clouds.

With its appearance, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the entire Central Prefecture turned into visible torrents, crazily gathering here!

Spiritual Qi turned into rain, and the heavens bestowed sweet dew!

"Hea… Heavens!"

"The… The Alliance Leader… he actually awakened the ancestral Dragon vein beneath Heavenly Sword Mountain!"

"Such means are simply unheard of!"

In various parts of the Central Prefecture, the Nascent Soul Ancestors of various Sects all had their hearts pounding wildly at this moment.

They could feel... the flow of Spiritual Qi in the entire Central Prefecture had been forcibly changed!

However, this was just the beginning.

Facing such a miracle...

Chen Xu moved again.

"Taking the world as a board, mountains and rivers as pieces!"

"Formation, rise!"

He actually did not use any Formation Plate or Magic Treasure!

Instead, he used his own majestic magic power as a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator to directly induce the power of heaven and earth to set up the formation!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, quickly drawing in the void.

Blinding golden formation patterns appeared out of thin air and were then deeply carved into the mountains and rivers below!

Boom!

A river was forcibly diverted to flow around the mountain range!

Boom!

Hundreds of mountain Peaks rose from the ground, arranging themselves into a formation!

At this moment, Chen Xu was like a creator god!

Every move he made was changing the layout of this world!

In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

A giant formation covering an area of ten thousand li had already taken shape!

"Merge!"

Chen Xu gave a light shout.

High in the sky, that ten-thousand-li Luck golden Dragon let out a roar.

It suddenly swooped down!

Its huge body actually merged perfectly with the newly formed formation!

Hum—!!!

A purple-gold light curtain shot into the sky!

On the light curtain, Imperial Dragon Qi flowed, thousands of Dao patterns appeared, emitting a terrifying pressure that suppressed the ages and looked down upon the world!

The Purple-Gold Imperial Dao World-Suppressing Formation!

It was done!

The moment the formation took shape, that vast imperial might swept towards the entire Central Prefecture like a tide!

Countless Nascent Soul Cultivators felt their hearts jump again.

They discovered in horror.

Under this pressure, their own Nascent Soul was trembling, and even their spiritual power was not flowing smoothly!

"This… what kind of terrifying formation is this!"

"It's over… the heaven of the Central Prefecture is really going to change!"

Everyone was scared out of their wits by Chen Xu's shocking means.

At this moment, Chen Xu's figure had already appeared on top of that ten-thousand-zhang golden Dragon.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering...

Like a supreme Heavenly God patrolling his territory.

His gaze swept across the entire Central Prefecture.

His voice, like the majestic decree of heaven, rang clearly in the ears of every Cultivator.

"Today, I, the Chen Family, enter and take control of the Central Prefecture!"

"This place shall be the Holy Land of my Chen Immortal Clan!"

"The Central Prefecture shall respect the Chen Family above all!"

The voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable dominance!

Once these words were spoken, the entire Central Prefecture completely boiled over!

"Quick! Prepare generous gifts! Follow me to Heavenly Sword Mountain to pay respects!"

"All Elders, listen to my order! Set off immediately! Whoever dares to be negligent will be expelled from the Sect!"

"This is a huge Opportunity! If we can gain the protection of the Chen Immortal Clan, our Sect will be worry-free for ten thousand years!"

All Sects and all noble families in the Central Prefecture went crazy at this moment!

They dared not have the slightest negligence, fearing that if they arrived late, they would displease the new master.

Sects that had good relations with Chen Xu, such as the Badao Sect, Illusory Sound Immortal Sect, and Myriad Beast Valley, were the first to set out.

The Sect Master of the Hegemon Blade Sect personally piloted the Sect's warship, his face full of ecstasy.

"Hahaha! I knew it, following the Alliance Leader means eating meat!"

At the Illusory Sound Immortal Sect, Liu Ruyan stood at the bow of the building ship, looking at the faintly discernible ten-thousand-li golden Dragon in the direction of Heavenly Sword Mountain, her beautiful eyes shimmering with brilliance.

"This man always manages to create miracles..."

For a time, thousands of streaks of light shot up into the sky from all over the Central Prefecture.

Their target was only one!

The Chen Family Holy Land!

In just a few short days!

Outside the newly established mountain gate of the Chen Family, it was already crowded with people.

Tens of thousands of high-level Cultivators from the Central Prefecture gathered here.

Among them were many Sect Masters of major Sects and Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Usually, they were all high and mighty.

But at this moment, they all gathered in one place, looking at the figure on the square, surrounded by a ten-thousand-zhang golden Dragon, like a god.

Whoosh—!

I don't know who took the lead!

Tens of thousands of Central Prefecture Cultivators bowed in unison, performing a full prostration towards the mountaintop.

The sound, like a mountain calling and a sea roaring, gathered into a torrent, shaking the Nine Heavens!

"We pay our respects to the master of the Chen Immortal Clan!"

"Pay respects to the master of the Chen Immortal Clan!"

Ten thousand Immortals come to pay homage!

This scene was worthy of being recorded in history and passed down through the ages!

And at this Peak moment of universal worship.

In Chen Xu's mind, the System notification sound rang out with a boom!

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the host for officially ascending as the "Master of the Chen Immortal Clan", Family Luck has reached its Peak!]

[Host gains special blessing: Luck of a Realm!]

Boom!

A vast and profound power descended from thin air!

Chen Xu felt his Divine Soul closely connected with the will of heaven and earth of the entire Central Prefecture at this moment!

He could feel the breathing of the mountains and rivers, and hear the pulse of the Spiritual Qi!

He felt as if he had become the true Dominator of this world!

With one thought, he could decide life and death!

With one word, he could command all living beings!
