140: After years of accumulation, the Immortal Clan has begun!
Chen Xu's gaze penetrated Chen Daoxuan's Physical Body, seeing within his Purple Mansion Dantian the nascent Nascent Soul, covered in cracks, its light dim, on the verge of complete collapse.
And the gray power, like a maggot in the bone, coiled around the Nascent Soul, frantically devouring its Origin.
Chen Xu's eyes turned cold, and he slowly raised his right hand.
He pointed two fingers like a sword, and flicked them at Chen Daoxuan, who was enveloped by the golden Domain below.
The movement was casual, as if merely flicking away a speck of dust.
Whoosh!
A faint, almost imperceptible stream of purplish-gray Qi, practically merging with the air.
Flashed from his fingertip.
That stream of Qi was incredibly fast!
Ignoring the obstruction of the Physical Body and magic power, it directly plunged into Chen Daoxuan's glabella!
Primordial Violet Qi!
This was not merely Primordial Qi, but a more powerful Origin power that Chen Xu had forged using his own Primordial Chaos Nascent Soul as a foundation, fused with the supreme killing Qi from the immortal slaying sword tip!
It possessed both the creative power of the Origin of all Dao, and the destructive power to slaughter Immortals and Gods!
The moment the Primordial Violet Qi entered his body!
Within Chen Daoxuan's Purple Mansion Dantian, the situation drastically changed!
That wisp of purplish-gray Qi, like a deity descending to the mortal realm.
Appeared before the crumbling nascent Nascent Soul.
It did not attempt to repair the cracks.
Instead, it directly charged at the arrogant gray
The gray power seemed to sense the arrival of its natural enemy and rapidly contracted.
It even tried to escape!
But could it escape?
The Primordial Violet Qi gave it no chance, directly transforming into an invisible giant maw, and fiercely swallowed that mass of gray power!
Not dispelling, not annihilating, but devouring!
Refining!
That power, which was practically unresolvable in this world.
The terrifying power representing the highest will of the
In just a single breath!
It was devoured completely, without a trace left!
After doing all this, the Primordial Violet Qi changed direction, transforming into a gentle energy.
Slowly integrating into the broken Nascent Soul.
Crack... crack... Like withered wood meeting spring, like parched land meeting sweet rain.
The cracks on the Nascent Soul, nourished by that Origin power which transcended all Laws of this realm.
Healed rapidly at a visible speed!
In just a few breaths, all the cracks disappeared!
Not only that... after absorbing the refined
This newborn Nascent Soul, its quality.
Underwent an incredible transformation!
It was no longer the crystal-clear appearance of an ordinary Cultivator's Nascent Soul.
Instead, its entire body displayed a noble and mysterious pale purple hue.
Wisps of Chaos Qi swirled around it, emitting a terrifying aura that far surpassed those of the same stage, even causing some Middle Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors to feel a tremor in their hearts!
Feeling the new Nascent Soul within his son's body, Chen Xu's face revealed a satisfied smile.
A blessing in disguise.
After this battle, his son's future would only go further than anticipated!
Meanwhile, outside.
Everyone only saw Chen Xu appear, summon a great seal, and flick his finger.
Then, the gray cracks on Chen Daoxuan's body disappeared.
That dying, decaying aura was also completely gone.
In its place was a rapidly rising, far more terrifying and powerful pressure than before!
Jade Purity Daoist, Chu Xuan, and others, watching this scene, were utterly shaken.
They couldn't even comprehend what had just happened in that instant!
And at this moment.
Chen Xu, having saved his son, finally slowly raised his head.
His pale golden eyes coldly looked at the sky, which was still churning and roaring.
The tribulation clouds seemed to have become even more violent because their prey had been saved.
His eyes were filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.
The cold voice echoed through Heaven and Earth!
The next moment.
Clang!
A clear sword cry tore through the sky!
The myriad ages azure cloud sword was already in his hand!
As the longsword was unsheathed, a supreme killing Qi, born to slaughter Immortals and Gods.
Soared into the sky!
That terrifying killing intent made all the Cultivators watching below, regardless of their cultivation level, feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their Divine Souls trembling!
They seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, countless Immortals and Gods falling.
A doomsday scene where the Great Dao shattered!
Chen Xu softly uttered a single word.
He flipped his wrist and, with extreme casualness, swung his sword at the tribulation clouds that obscured the sky.
A purplish-gray sword mark flashed across the Void Realm.
Fast!
Extremely fast!
So fast that no one's Divine Sense could capture it!
The next second.
The entire world seemed to be paused.
The wind stopped.
The clouds stagnated.
The massive tribulation cloud vortex, churning, roaring, and flashing with lightning, suddenly paused.
All its power came to an abrupt halt at this moment.
Immediately after.
Under the horrified gazes of countless people.
A thin crack quietly appeared in the very center of the tribulation clouds.
The crack rapidly expanded and spread!
Finally, it bisected the entire tribulation cloud!
Boom!!!
A dull roar came from above the Nine Heavens!
That terrifying tribulation cloud, heavy as a mountain, with pressure spanning ten thousand li.
Was actually split neatly in two right down the middle!
The two halves of the tribulation cloud slowly drifted apart.
Then, under the completely stunned gazes of everyone.
The severed tribulation cloud, like a sand sculpture that had lost all support, disintegrated inch by inch, transforming into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and vanished into thin air.
Sunlight, once again, streamed down.
The sky was a pristine blue.
As if that Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, which was enough to shake the entire Central Continent, had never appeared.
Dead silence.
The entire Chen Family Holy Land, and even all the Cultivators in the Central Continent who were watching this scene.
At this moment, their minds all went blank.
One sword... to cut down the Heavenly Tribulation!
What a world-shattering sight!
Is this still something a human can do?
Since ancient times, Cultivators Undergoing Tribulation have always been cautious, using every means, barely surviving.
To contend with the Heavenly Tribulation is already Heaven-Defying.
But what was this man doing?
He was killing Heaven!
He was using this overbearing and direct method to tell this Heaven and Earth that his son, Chen Xu's son, was going to form a Nascent Soul.
You, Heaven, are not qualified to interfere! And you can't!
Gulp...
The Sect Master of the Hegemon Blade Sect swallowed with difficulty, feeling his throat incredibly dry.
Liu Ruyan's beautiful face was also filled with shock and fascination at this moment.
This was the man she had set her sights on.
A man who dared to cut down even Heaven!
And in this dead silence.
Freed from the threats of the Heavenly Tribulation and the
Boom!
A smooth as jade, vast and majestic Nascent Soul aura soared from within the Myriad Dao Pavilion!
Chen Daoxuan's figure slowly ascended into the sky.
His long hair fluttered, purple Qi swirled around him, and between the opening and closing of his eyes, there were scenes of stars being born and dying.
He succeeded!
He ascended to Heaven in one step, entering the Nascent Soul realm that countless Cultivators dreamed of!
Moreover, he could clearly feel it.
How terrifyingly powerful the
That power was hundreds of times stronger than any Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator he had ever seen!
He had a kind of confidence that his current self could even directly fight against Middle Nascent Soul Stage and Late Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestors.
Head-on!
And who bestowed all of this?
Chen Daoxuan slowly raised his head, his gaze falling upon that figure who still stood proudly with his sword.
The excitement, adoration, reverence, and gratitude in his eyes... all sorts of emotions almost overflowed.
The next moment, he reined in all his aura, and under the gaze of all, respectfully bowed to Chen Xu high in the sky.
Prostrating himself completely.
High in the sky, Chen Xu slowly landed.
He looked at his son, who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, yet whose aura was already incredibly profound.
He smiled faintly!
Not bad.
Very good.
Although the process was a bit convoluted, and he almost got tricked by the Heavenly Dao of this broken world.
But the result was good.
Pseudo-Grandmist Dao Nascent Soul.
This quality, looking at the entire Cultivation World, if not unprecedented, then at least unparalleled.
As a father, he also felt proud.
Chen Daoxuan looked at Chen Xu, opened his mouth, and a thousand words ultimately condensed into just these two.
The filial adoration and worship in his eyes almost overflowed.
Chen Xu unhappily patted his shoulder, not lightly.
Chen Daoxuan staggered from the pat, but a simple smile appeared on his face, and he nodded heavily.
Chen Xu grunted and ignored him.
He turned to face the stunned clansmen at the foot of the mountain.
His gaze swept over everyone.
From the excited old faces to the fervent young ones, he spoke again:
Chen Xu paused:
These words, without too many flowery phrases.
Yet they were more effective than any pep talk!
Boom!
The blood of all the clansmen in the entire Chen Family Holy Land was completely ignited at this moment!
Everyone like a Dragon!
Heaven and Earth making way!
What an overbearing declaration!
The shouts, like a mountain tsunami, shook the clouds!
The Chen Family had gone completely mad!
If before, Chen Family disciples cultivated merely to rise above others.
To obtain more resources.
Then from this moment on, a belief called
deeply branded into the bones of every single person.
Chen Daoxuan's advancement to Nascent Soul, and the Chen Family Head's overbearing declaration.
It was like the most potent catalyst.
It ignited an unprecedented wave of internal competition throughout the entire Chen Family!
Everyone was pumped up, throwing themselves into Cultivation day and night... The Myriad Dao Pavilion, in particular, became a Holy Land in everyone's hearts.
To gain the qualification to enter the Myriad Dao Pavilion, the younger generation fought tooth and nail in the training grounds.
The older generation Cultivators frantically took on Family missions, some doing Alchemy, others Artifact Refining.
They wished they could split themselves into eight to work.
The entire Chen Family Holy Land presented a thriving and bustling scene.
And the Myriad Dao Pavilion indeed lived up to everyone's expectations.
It was like a super cheat code without emotions, continuously producing experts for the Chen Family.
In the blink of an eye, half a year quietly passed.
In these past six months, auspicious clouds never ceased in the Chen Family Holy Land!
Almost every few days, a Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation would explode on the mountaintop.
The commotion made all the Cultivators in Central Province numb.
At first, some people would still come to watch the excitement.
"Holy crap! Someone from the Chen Family formed a Core again!"
Later.
"Oh, someone from the Chen Family formed a Core again, normal operation, everyone sit down."
Even later.
"Why is the Chen Family so quiet today? I feel uncomfortable if no one is Undergoing Tribulation."
And on this very day.
Following Chen Daoxuan, another terrifying aura that shook the entire Central Province.
Erupted from within the Myriad Dao Pavilion!
Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation!
Again?!
This time, it was Chen Daochu!
With Chen Daoxuan's previous experience, Chen Xu was well prepared this time.
When that strange gray power reappeared in the Heavenly Tribulation.
Chen Xu still used the familiar formula, still the familiar taste.
The human emperor seal suppressed Luck, isolating the malice of Heaven and Earth.
Primordial Violet Qi entered the body, devouring the power of the cage, and by the way, gave the Nascent Soul a luxurious renovation.
Finally, the myriad ages azure cloud sword was swung, and the Heavenly Tribulation was cut down with one sword strike.
The whole process flowed smoothly, like silk.
The old monsters from Central Province who came to observe the ceremony below watched with twitching eyelids and crumbling Dao Heart.
Good heavens!
Others' Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, a near-death experience, was like an assembly line operation for the Chen Family Head?
And it came with mass production?
Chen Daochu's successful entry into the Nascent Soul Stage further pushed the Chen Family's Cultivation craze.
To a new peak once again.
Brother Dao Xuan and Brother Dao Chu have both become Nascent Souls, what reason do they, as younger siblings, have not to work hard?
Compete!
Compete to the death!
Immediately after.
In the third month after Chen Daochu's Breakthrough.
Two equally vast Nascent Soul auras, one grand and upright, the other sharp and unparalleled.
Soared into the sky simultaneously from within the Myriad Dao Pavilion!
Daoist Yuqing and Chu Xuan also broke through!
These two earliest "Guest Elders" of the Chen Family, with the cheating-like assistance of the Myriad Dao Pavilion, finally accumulated enough and took this Heaven-Defying step!
When they walked out of the Myriad Dao Pavilion and felt the unprecedented surge of power within their bodies.
The two couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
Especially Daoist Yuqing.
He recalled how, back then, he was just a dying Foundation Establishment Stage Loose Cultivator.
He only joined the Chen Family as a Guest Elder to ensure a good old age.
At that time, he couldn't have imagined that he would reach this point today.
But now?
Nascent Soul!
The Nascent Soul realm he had dreamed of, even despaired of.
Was achieved so easily!
Who gave him all this?
Daoist Yuqing turned around, looked at the courtyard where the Family Head resided in the distance, straightened his robes, and respectfully performed a kowtow.
"The Family Head's grace of rebirth, this old Daoist is willing to be smashed to pieces, unable to repay!"
Chu Xuan was likewise; he knelt on one knee, his eyes fervent.
"This life, I, Chu Xuan, vow to be the sword in the Family Head's hand, to slay all enemies!"
They knew that in this life, they were completely bound to the Chen Family and that man, on the same war chariot.
No!
That wasn't a war chariot!
That was a supreme divine vessel, about to break through all heavens and sail towards eternity!
To be a sailor on this divine vessel.
Was the greatest honor of their lives!
Thus!
In the Chen Family Holy Land, counting Murong Zhuyun, and two loyal old elders who also obtained Opportunity and luckily broke through in the Myriad Dao Pavilion.
The number of Nascent Soul Cultivators had already reached a terrifying eight!
Golden Core Cultivators had even surpassed three digits!
The Chen Family's foundation had finally accumulated enough to burst forth.
And all of this was achieved in less than a year!
...However.
Compared to the Family's flourishing Luck, like oil boiling over a fierce fire.
Chen Xu's mood grew heavier by the day.
Night.
He stood alone on the Star-Gazing Platform of the Sacred Land's peak, overlooking the brightly lit area below.
The Family territory, like an Immortal Realm.
The joyful laughter of his clansmen filled his ears, and the prosperity of the Family filled his eyes.
But his Divine Sense had already penetrated all of this.
Enveloping the entire Central Province, and even the more distant Heaven and Earth.
In his perception.
This world was like a balloon slowly leaking air and constantly shriveling.
The concentration of Spiritual Qi was still decreasing at an extremely slow, yet unwavering pace.
It continued to decline.
Although for ordinary Cultivators, this change was minuscule, and they might not notice it for hundreds of years.
But for Chen Xu, who already stood at the pinnacle of this world.
Whose Divine Soul was faintly connected to the Heavenly Dao's will.
This sense of decay was like being slowly cut by a dull knife, clear and painful.
"At this rate..."
Chen Xu silently deduced in his heart.
"Three thousand years later, the Spiritual Qi concentration will plummet to rock bottom, and this world will no longer be able to give birth to Nascent Soul Cultivators."
"Five thousand years later, Golden Core will also be a luxury."
"Ten thousand years later... perhaps, even Foundation Establishment will become a legend."
By then, the entire Cultivation World would be completely reduced to a mortal land.
All Cultivators would, upon the exhaustion of their Lifespan.
Die in despair.
And his so-called Chen Immortal Clan, his so-called eternal foundation, would become a huge joke.
"If the skin does not exist, what will the hair attach to?"
Chen Xu stood with his hands behind his back, the night wind rustling his clothes, but unable to disperse the solemnity between his brows.
No, he absolutely cannot sit idly by!
He must find a way to break this deadlock!
"Guixu..."
That coordinate, obtained from Lu Cun Demon Lord's Jade Slip, once again appeared in his mind.
That sole clue pointing to the depths of the Eastern Sea Forbidden Zone, suspected to lead to the "world beyond."
Perhaps, the only path to survival truly lay there.
But... once the cage was broken, would they be greeted by a vaster world, or a more terrifying despair?
Chen Xu's heart was a little unsettled.
Just as he was agitated and contemplating whether to explore that "Guixu" after all.
Boom!!!
A vast and majestic aura of life, beyond description.
Suddenly soared into the sky from the direction of the backyard!
That aura was so pure, so powerful!
It broke through the blockade of the Purple Gold Imperial Dao World-Suppressing Array and shot straight into the clouds!
The next moment!
Above the entire Chen Family Holy Land, the situation changed dramatically!
Endless purple Qi, rolled in from the east, stretching for thirty thousand li!
In the sky, golden lotuses appeared out of thin air, slowly drifting down.
Dragon and Phoenix phantoms intertwined within the purple Qi.
Emitting bursts of high-pitched cries!
Even more exaggerated!
The already dense and almost liquefied Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the entire Chen Family Holy Land, under the inducement of this life aura.
Actually surged again!
One time!
A full one time!
All the Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Plants in the Sacred Land instantly grew wildly!
Some Spirit Medicine seeds that had just been planted actually sprouted, branched, flowered, and bore fruit within a few breaths!
"What's going on?!"
"Heavens! What kind of auspicious phenomenon is this!"
"It's the backyard! It's from the direction of the Family Head's wife!"
The entire Chen Family was instantly alarmed!
Everyone stared in horror at the miraculous sight in the sky, their minds blank.
And Chen Xu, who was on the Star-Gazing Platform, trembled violently!
The solemnity and irritation on his face.
Were instantly replaced by ecstasy at this moment!
"She's going into labor!"
He took a step, his figure instantly disappearing from where he stood.
When he reappeared... he was already outside Qin Rouer's birthing room.
At this moment, the birthing room was already surrounded by people.
Bu Yifan with her big belly... Sun Xiaoyue, Chen Daoxuan, Chen Daochu... all the core members of the Chen Family were present.
Each of their faces showed nervousness and anticipation.
Chen Xu's arrival gave everyone a sense of reassurance.
"Husband!"
"Father!"
Chen Xu waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
His pale golden eyes penetrated the wall, looking into the birthing room.
He could see that although Qin Rouer's face was pale.
And she was drenched in sweat, her life aura was stable.
And within her, the small life he had personally blessed and placed high hopes on, was accumulating its final strength, preparing to descend into this world.
This tension was a hundred times stronger than when he faced the seven kill demon star, or when he cut down the Heavenly Tribulation with a single sword!
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Time, passed minute by minute.
Every second felt as long as a century to the people outside the door.
Finally!
"Waaah—!!!"
A loud infant's cry resounded from within the birthing room!
Within that cry... there was actually an innate, supreme majesty that suppressed all Dao!
As this cry sounded.
The thirty thousand li of purple Qi in the sky, the golden lotuses filling the heavens, and the Dragon and Phoenix phantoms, as if summoned.
Transformed into a vast torrent, pouring into the birthing room!
It's done!
Another Qilin child of the Chen Family has been born!
Chen Xu was ecstatic!
And at this very moment!
In his mind, the System's notification sound exploded!
[Ding! Congratulations to Host on the birth of a descendant!]
[Detected that this descendant's Aptitude is — Heaven Rank·Supreme Grade!]
Boom!
Heaven Rank Supreme Grade!
His previous best Aptitude, Chen Battle and Chen Immortal, were only Heaven Rank Low Grade.
And this child, surprisingly, was directly Supreme Grade!
This meant that his potential was more than ten times that of Chen Battle!
However, this wasn't the end!
