138: The Myriad Paths Pavilion appears, revealing an eternal immortal body!
However, just as everyone thought that this earth-shattering clan establishment ceremony was about to conclude...
On the mountaintop, Chen Xu moved again.
He looked at the dense crowd kneeling below and smiled faintly.
He slowly raised his hand and gently waved it towards the Void Realm.
Buzz—!
An exquisite, nine-story pagoda, radiating ancient Dao charm throughout its body,
Appeared out of thin air!
As soon as the pagoda appeared, it rapidly grew against the wind!
Ten zhang!
One hundred zhang!
One thousand zhang!
Finally, it transformed into a towering giant pagoda, ten thousand zhang tall, almost reaching the heavens!
Boom!!!
The giant pagoda crashed down, settling onto the central plaza of the Chen Family Holy Land!
The Myriad Dao Pavilion!
Has appeared!
The moment the pagoda landed,
An aura even more ancient, profound, and deep than that of the Purple Gold Imperial Dao World Suppression Formation,
Suddenly spread out!
Wherever that aura passed, all Laws resonated, and the Great Dao harmonized!
All Cultivators bathed in this aura felt that their Bottlenecks
Had subtly shown signs of loosening!
Some Cultivation Technique problems that had plagued them for hundreds of years suddenly became clear at this instant!
“This... what is this again?!”
“Heavens! This aura... I feel like I'm about to Breakthrough!”
“Could this also be an Immortal Artifact? No! It's even more terrifying than an Immortal Artifact fragment!”
Outside the mountain gate, the tens of thousands of Cultivators who had already been stunned into numbness,
Were collectively speechless once more!
They stared at the ten-thousand-zhang pagoda radiating endless Dao charm, their eyes nearly popping out!
The mountain-protecting Formation suppresses the present.
The Ten Thousand Dao Pagoda creates the future!
Just how many more trump cards does this Chen Family Patriarch still hide,
Enough to overturn the entire Cultivation world's understanding?!
Outside the mountain gate, Chen Xu took in the awe and submission of tens of thousands of Cultivators.
He ignored the tumultuous sounds of worship.
Instead, his gaze fell upon the Myriad Dao Pavilion, ten thousand zhang tall and connecting heaven and earth.
This was the true Foundation of the Chen Family's eternal Legacy!
Chen Xu raised his hand and pressed it into the Void Realm.
The tens of thousands of kneeling Cultivators below felt an irresistible, gentle force lifting them up.
“Today, the Chen Family is established, and it should be celebrated with the world.”
“The Myriad Dao Pavilion opens today!”
His voice was calm, yet it spread for ten thousand li.
The moment his voice fell... Chen Xu's figure had already appeared before the Myriad Dao Pavilion's massive doors.
He didn't use any Spiritual Qi.
He simply extended a finger and gently tapped the grand door.
Buzz—!
The door didn't open to the sides.
Instead, it rippled outwards in golden circles, like a stone dropped into a lake.
The next moment, the entire door, along with its frame, turned into nothingness.
Behind the door was not a pavilion.
Nor a grand hall.
But a true, vast and boundless starry sky!
“Hiss—!”
Inside and outside the mountain gate, whether it was the Chen Family members or those old monsters from Central State, all gasped in cold air.
What did they see?
A world hidden within the door!
That starry sky was deep and mysterious, and every twinkling star
Was not a real celestial body.
But rather clusters of Dao charm, refined to the extreme!
There were Sword Dao stars, their sharpness fully revealed, Sword Qi crisscrossing for hundreds of millions of li.
There were Fire Element stars, blazing like the sun, incinerating all directions.
There was Water Element Dao charm, forming a star river, flowing silently in the darkness.
Just looking at it made one's mind intoxicated.
As if one's Soul was about to be drawn into it, assimilating with the Great Dao!
“This... what kind of feat is this?!”
A Nascent Soul Ancestor's voice trembled, almost unable to stand steady.
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Chen Xu took a step and entered that starry sky.
He stood at the center of the Universe, his expression indifferent.
The next moment, with a thought,
“My knowledge shall be the Cornerstone of the Family.”
Boom!
Streaks of divine light burst forth from his glabella!
That was everything he had learned in his life!
There were the most basic breathing techniques!
There was the Qingyun Immortal Sect's Eternal Azure Cloud Art.
And even the various Legacy secret arts of the Purple Mansion Dao Lord: Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation, Talisman... everything was unreservedly extracted by him.
These divine lights rushed into the starry sky, transforming into brand new stars, etched upon the cosmic background known as the “Dao Charm Star Wall.”
In an instant, the number of stars within the entire Myriad Dao Pavilion surged several times over!
The scattered Dao charm, with the addition of Chen Xu's systematic and powerful Cultivation Techniques and secret arts,
Seemed to have found its backbone, beginning to operate rapidly and interconnect, each influencing the other.
Evolving into endless variations!
And just as all the Cultivation Techniques were imprinted,
A sudden change occurred!
Roar—!!!
A beast roar echoed throughout the entire starry sky world!
Myriad stars, myriad Great Dao, resonated in unison at this moment!
All the Dao charm starlight... madly converged towards the center of the Universe!
The light was extremely dazzling!
In that blinding radiance, a creature so magnificent it defied description,
Slowly condensed into form!
It had a Dragon head, deer antlers, lion eyes, tiger back... its entire body was wreathed in seven-colored auspicious light, it trod on auspicious clouds, and Dao runes of creation and destruction flickered around it!
A Qilin!
The Spirit of Ten Thousand Dao!
It was not a flesh and blood body, but a manifestation of Law formed by the convergence of Dao charm.
Its appearance instantly brought the entire Myriad Dao Pavilion to life!
It could evolve myriad Laws and assist people in comprehending the Dao!
Having completed all this, Chen Xu's figure exited the Myriad Dao Pavilion.
Returning before everyone.
His gaze swept across, landing on Chen Daoxuan.
“Dao Xuan, step forward.”
Chen Daoxuan's heart skipped a beat; he suppressed his excitement, quickly stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.
“Father.”
At this time, his cultivation had reached the Late Golden Core Stage.
In the South Spirit Prefecture, he could be considered a master.
But in front of Chen Xu, he was still like a child.
Chen Xu looked at this son who resembled him by seventy percent.
A hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
In front of everyone, he announced loudly,
“The Myriad Dao Pavilion is the sacred ground of our Chen Family's Legacy.”
“Today, my son Dao Xuan will be the first to enter the Pavilion.”
“From now on, anyone who makes great contributions to the Family, regardless of lineage, whether inner or outer, will have the Opportunity to enter the Pavilion to Cultivate!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all Chen Family members' breathing became heavy.
An unprecedented flame ignited in the eyes of all the younger generation!
Cultivating in the Pavilion!
This would become the highest honor pursued by all Chen Family Disciples throughout their lives!
Chen Xu ignored everyone's reactions.
He extended his hand and heavily patted Chen Daoxuan's shoulder.
The broad palm conveyed not just strength,
But also a heavy responsibility.
“Dao Xuan.”
Chen Xu's voice was exceptionally steady.
“As your father, I can protect the Family for a time, but not for an eternity.”
“The future of our Chen Family needs your generation to carry it on your shoulders!”
“Do you understand?”
Chen Daoxuan's body trembled, feeling a rush of hot blood from the soles of his feet straight to his crown!
He suddenly looked up, meeting his father's profound gaze.
Then he nodded heavily, his voice firm and resonant!
“Father, rest assured!”
“Your son will never fail your trust!”
With that, he turned around without the slightest hesitation.
He strode into that starry sky world.
As Chen Daoxuan's figure disappeared behind the door,
The door's light curtain returned to its original state, separating inside from outside.
The moment Chen Daoxuan entered the Myriad Dao Pavilion,
He was completely awestruck by the sight before him.
He felt as if he was at the Origin of the Universe, surrounded by countless Dao charm stars.
Just as his mind was swaying,
“Roar~”
A low beast roar sounded in his ear.
He was startled and looked back.
He saw the extraordinarily magnificent seven-colored Qilin had, at some unknown point, arrived beside him.
Its eyes curiously examined him.
Then, it actually lowered its head and affectionately rubbed against his arm.
A vast Dao charm,
Instantly surged into Chen Daoxuan's mind.
The next moment, the Qilin moved.
It transformed into a seven-colored stream of light, beginning to gallop and demonstrate Laws in this starry sky!
At times, it transformed into a giant sword piercing the heavens and earth, demonstrating the Profound Truths of the sword techniques Chen Daoxuan primarily Cultivated,
Slicing them out repeatedly in the most intuitive way!
At other times, it transformed into a huge Pill Furnace, refining the obscure and difficult obstacles in his Cultivation Technique
Into the simplest and easiest to understand forms!
What a Heaven-Defying Opportunity this was!
Chen Daoxuan was completely entranced.
He instantly entered a profound state of deep Epiphany!
He sat cross-legged, closing his eyes.
Each breath he took outside, he felt inside the Pavilion,
As if several years, even decades, had passed!
All the cultivation Bottlenecks that had troubled him for years, all the Cultivation Technique confusions that he had pondered over fruitlessly,
Were easily resolved under the Qilin's 'cheating' demonstration of Laws!
Like a hot knife through butter!
...Outside the Myriad Dao Pavilion.
Only one day had passed.
The core high-ranking members of the Chen Family
Were all waiting quietly in the plaza.
They also wanted to know just how miraculous the effects of this Myriad Dao Pavilion were.
Just then,
Buzz—!
Chen Daochu, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the plaza, suddenly opened his eyes.
His face was full of disbelief!
“This... this aura!”
He looked at the Myriad Dao Pavilion in shock!
As Chen Daoxuan's younger brother, he could clearly feel that
Inside the Pavilion, an aura that originally belonged to the Late Golden Core Stage
Was rapidly surging at an inconceivable speed!
Boom!!!
A terrifying pressure, smooth as jade and flawless,
Suddenly emanated from within the Pavilion!
Golden Core Perfection!
It's done!
“One day! Just one day to Breakthrough from Late Golden Core Stage to Great Perfection!” A Family elder exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.
However, this was not the end!
That Golden Core Perfection aura did not stop.
Instead, it began to charge towards a higher, more mysterious level!
A unique aura belonging to the Nascent Soul Realm
Began to subtly emanate from that pressure!
Although still very weak, it was a qualitative transformation!
He had touched the Nascent Soul Bottleneck!
“My heavens...”
This time, even Chen Xu's several wives and concubines covered their mouths, their beautiful eyes filled with shock.
One day's time!
Comparable to a hundred years of arduous Cultivation for ordinary Cultivators!
This Myriad Dao Pavilion... was simply a Heaven-Defying Divine Artifact!
All the Chen Family's high-ranking members, at this moment, looked at the ten-thousand-zhang pagoda, their gazes completely changed.
With this divine object, how could the Chen Family not prosper for ten thousand generations!
Chen Xu looked at everyone's reactions.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
He knew that it was only a matter of time before Chen Daoxuan stabilized his Realm within the Pavilion and attracted the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation.
The Chen Family's first new generation Nascent Soul was about to be born.
But his gaze had already passed over the Myriad Dao Pavilion... turning towards the direction of the backyard.
There, his youngest children were playing and frolicking.
His newly Acquired talent, Imperial Prestige, was not merely about increasing the cultivation speed of his descendants.
It had an even more important use.
That was—to create for the Chen Family a true Son of Destiny, born with the Luck of this world!
...Night fell.
At the Peak of Heavenly Sword Mountain, the newly established Chen Clan Holy Land was brightly lit.
It was like a galaxy falling into the Mortal world.
The grand occasion of myriad immortals paying homage had concluded, and after the clamor,
came the tranquility belonging to the Chen Family.
Chen Xu dismissed all the clan members who came to report, and walked alone through layers of corridors, heading towards the depths of the back mountain.
That courtyard belonged solely to the Family head.
Within the courtyard, Spiritual Qi permeated, and an unknown ancient tree glowed softly under the moonlight.
Qin Rouer was quietly strolling under the tree.
On the other side, Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue sat at a stone table, speaking in low voices while organizing a pile of account books and Jade Slips.
Those were the property lists of the entire Chen Family, and even half of Central Province.
Chen Xu's footsteps were very light... yet the three women sensed him immediately.
They simultaneously looked up, and the moment they saw the man, all the fatigue and busyness in their eyes turned into gentle smiles.
"Husband."
Chen Xu's heart softened; the domineering aura he displayed while fighting outside and dominating the world,
at this moment, completely transformed into gentle tenderness.
He quickly stepped forward, first going to Qin Rouer's side, carefully pulling her into his embrace.
His palm gently rested on her lower abdomen.
"You've worked hard."
He could feel that the little life in her womb, though not yet fully formed,
already contained a considerable Spiritual Qi fluctuation.
Afterward, he looked at Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue.
Bu Yifan, who used to be plump and graceful, in charge of the Family's finances, always appearing astute,
now had a somewhat thinner, delicate face.
There was a hint of lingering fatigue in her eyes.
And the lively Sun Xiaoyue also had a bit less of her usual vivacity between her brows,
replaced by a touch more steadiness and weariness.
Chen Xu knew that during his time fighting outside, it was these two women, one managing internal affairs and the other external, who had single-handedly supported the entire operation of the Chen Family.
From a small Family in South Spirit Prefecture to the colossal power that now controlled Central Province,
the hardships involved were simply unimaginable to outsiders.
A wave of guilt surged in his heart.
He walked over and wrapped his arms around the slender waists of the two women from behind, gently resting his chin on Bu Yifan's shoulder.
"You've both gotten thinner."
Bu Yifan's body stiffened, then relaxed, leaning her head against his chest and softly saying, "Husband is back, it was all worth it."
Sun Xiaoyue, however, pouted, with a hint of coquetry: "You finally realized we've been working hard! If you didn't come back, Sister Fan and I would have turned into old hags."
Chen Xu chuckled, hugging them a little tighter.
"Don't worry, I'm here now."
After a moment of tenderness, a thought suddenly stirred in Chen Xu's heart.
Imperial Prestige.
This newly Acquired talent was not just for suppressing enemies and displaying authority.
The System had once prompted... its most important function was bestowing blessings.
It was to lay an eternal Foundation for his Bloodline, for his Family!
He looked at the three wives before him, who had given their all for him.
A thought irrepressibly surfaced.
He wanted to compensate them.
And also create the highest starting point for his children.
"Don't move, close your eyes."
Chen Xu's voice carried an undeniable gentleness.
The three women were somewhat puzzled, but obediently complied.
Chen Xu released Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue, and walked back to Qin Rouer.
This time, his expression was solemn... a faint golden light flashed in his eyes.
He raised his hand again, placing it on Qin Rouer's lower abdomen.
Buzz!
The Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul within him slowly circulated, and a stream of extremely pure purple-gold Qi.
flowed through his Meridians into his palm.
This was Imperial Dragon Qi!
It was the Origin power he had condensed after becoming a pseudo-world master, fusing with the human emperor seal, and absorbing the Luck of the entire Central Province.
If an ordinary person touched even a trace, they would be blessed with Luck and immune to all illnesses.
But at this moment, Chen Xu unreservedly transformed a wisp of Imperial Dragon Qi, slowly passing it into Qin Rouer's abdomen.
"Mm..."
Qin Rouer let out a soft moan, feeling an unprecedented warm current.
enveloping her entire lower abdomen.
The warm current was so comfortable.
She could clearly feel the little life in her womb joyfully stretching its body, greedily absorbing the purple-gold Qi flow.
The Innate Impurities in the Mortal Bloodline of the fetus,
were washed away inch by inch, leaving not a trace, under the powerful yet gentle force.
Bones were being reshaped, Bloodline was being sublimated!
Chen Xu could feel that the starting point of this unborn child,
had far surpassed all his previous descendants.
Even more perfect than Chen Battle and Chen Xian, whom he had personally created!
After doing all this, Chen Xu withdrew his hand... Qin Rouer's face glowed even more sacred and moving.
He then went to Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue.
"Hold out your hands."
The two women obediently extended their delicate hands.
Chen Xu took one hand each, holding their soft hands in his palms.
Unlike the baptism of Qin Rouer's fetus, this time, the Imperial Dragon Qi he infused,
was even more majestic, even more domineering!
"Ah!"
Bu Yifan and Sun Xiaoyue simultaneously let out exclamations.
They only felt two scorching torrents surge in from their palms.
Instantly rushing through all the Meridians in their bodies!
The feeling was like a Mortal undergoing a complete transformation, a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate!
This allowed them to clearly feel that the hidden injuries left by years of toil, and the barriers caused by stagnant cultivation, were all swept away and purified before this power!
Flesh and blood cheered, bones were reshaped!
Their bodies seemed to have transformed into flawless beautiful jade.
Transparent and pure, without a trace of Impurities.
"Husband, this... this is..."
Bu Yifan felt an unprecedented lightness and power within her body, her voice trembling.
"Foundation Blessing."
Chen Xu looked at their radiant faces and explained with a smile, "From now on, your bodies will be the Innate Dao Embryos most suitable for nurturing my Chen Family's Bloodline."
"Our future children, when born, will be Prodigies."
These words made the two women both shy and joyful, and an endless sweetness surged in their hearts.
This man always gave them the best... A few days later.
The Chen Family's founding ceremony had passed, and the entire Central Province was under the Imperial Prestige of the Chen Immortal Clan.
entering an unprecedented period of stability.
Countless Sects and aristocratic Families sent their most outstanding Disciples to Heavenly Sword Mountain, hoping to join the Chen Family; even just becoming an Outer Sect Disciple would be enough to bring glory to their Family.
The Chen Family Holy Land was thriving.
And on this very day, a great joy descended upon the Chen Family's backyard.
"I... I'm pregnant?"
Bu Yifan sat before her dressing table, looking at her increasingly delicate and beautiful face in the bronze mirror.
Listening to the joyous report from the maid beside her, she was completely stunned.
She instinctively placed her hand on her flat lower abdomen.
There, a brand new life essence was quietly being nurtured.
"That's wonderful! Madam Fan, you're expecting again! I'll go report to the Family Head right away!"
The maid was so excited she was incoherent, and turned to run out.
And at the very moment Bu Yifan confirmed her pregnancy,
Chen Xu, who was in front of the Myriad Dao Pavilion, instructing clan members on setting up a Formation,
suddenly paused!
In his mind, the System prompt, which had been silent for several days, suddenly exploded without warning!
"Ding!"
"Detected the birth of a new descendant for the host!"
"The mother of this descendant has received the 'Imperial Prestige' Foundation Blessing, and her Physical Body has reached the Acquired Perfect Dao Embryo Realm!"
"This descendant, from the beginning of conception, has received the 'Imperial Dragon Qi' baptism, perfectly inheriting the advantages of the host's Grandmist Dao Body and the mother's Innate Dao Embryo!"
"Aptitude judgment in progress..."
"System calculation in progress..."
A series of prompts made Chen Xu's breathing stop for a moment!
He knew that his blessing would greatly enhance the Aptitude of his descendants.
But he hadn't expected the System's reaction to be so intense!
The next second!
"Calculation complete!"
"This descendant is nurturing the 'Heaven Rank Myriad Ages Immortal Body' Aptitude!"
Boom!!!
"Heaven Rank Myriad Ages Immortal Body"!
These six words exploded in Chen Xu's mind like a Divine Thunder from the Nine Heavens!
He was completely frozen!
Heaven Rank!
His strongest descendants before, Chen Battle and Chen Xian, only had ordinary Heaven Rank Overlord Body Aptitude!
And this unborn child had actually directly crossed a major Rank.
Reaching the legendary Myriad Ages Immortal Body?
What did this represent?
This represented that once this child was born, his starting point and his potential would be an unprecedented Peak for the entire Chen Family, and even the entire Cultivation world!
He was born destined to stand at the Peak of all beings!
Ecstasy!
"Haha... Hahahaha!"
For a moment, Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh uproariously in front of all his clan members!
His laughter was filled with joy and satisfaction!
What if it was a cage?
What if they were Jailers?
As long as his Chen Family could give birth to such a unique Qilin child, the so-called cage barrier, the so-called broken path, would sooner or later be smashed through with a single punch by his Chen Family's descendants!
"The Family Head, he..."
"What's wrong with the Family Head? Why is he so happy?"
The surrounding clan members looked at each other, completely unaware of what had happened.
And at this moment, the System's voice sounded again.
"'Heaven Rank Myriad Ages Immortal Body' is the ultimate Aptitude that can be nurtured in this world, with infinite potential. Please name this descendant, host!"
Naming!
Chen Xu's laughter stopped abruptly.
His eyes flashed with brilliant light, and he fell into deep thought.
Such a Qilin child... deserved a name that would astound the ages.
He thought of the Myriad Dao Pavilion he had just established, and the Qilin formed by the convergence of myriad great Dao Laws.
A thought instantly surfaced in his mind.
"Let's call him... Chen Wandao!"
Meaning, to control myriad Dao and evolve the future!
"Ding! Naming successful! Descendant 'Chen Wandao', information has been recorded in the Family panel!"
