273: Chapter 273 A Glorious Era

After Ge Nie's figure disappeared,

Wang Chen did not hesitate.

With a thought,

a golden light surged from within his body, slowly condensing before him.

The light was warm and bright, illuminating the entire palace; it was precisely the Power of Imperial Fortune of the dynasty!

Within the light,

a figure was gradually taking shape.

It was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, wearing white silk robes, with a face identical to Wang Chen's.

His body exuded the terrifying aura of the Middle Stage Immortal Realm.

This was different from his previous Clone.

The previous Clone only had the strength of the Domain Realm, but this time was different.

With strength at the Middle Stage Immortal Realm,

he would be a top-tier existence in any plane, enough to walk unchallenged.

"Main body, we meet again."

The Clone looked at Wang Chen, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly with a hint of a cynical smile.

Wang Chen looked at him and nodded, not standing on ceremony as he directly commanded,

"Go. With your strength, it won't be difficult to conquer any world."

"As you command."

The Clone turned around and looked at the space-time treasure mirror.

Then, without hesitation, he took a step forward and entered the spatial tunnel.

His figure instantly vanished into the darkness.

Wang Chen sat cross-legged on the prayer mat and closed his eyes.

His Divine Thought followed the Clone, traversing the endless Void Realm.

The Clone's consciousness was connected to his.

What the Clone saw, he could see; what the Clone experienced, he could feel!

Though separated by the endless Void Realm, that connection was never severed.

Last time,

as soon as his Clone entered the spatial tunnel, all connection was lost.

It wasn't until he mastered the Emperors Dharma Idol that he could barely sense the Clone's existence.

But now it was different.

His Divine Thought could remain attached to the Clone without being affected in the slightest.

This was the power of the Immortal Realm.

"Sigh... I hope you all can gain something."

Meanwhile,

in another plane—the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

Tianyuan Sect.

Chilian Peak.

Daoist Master Cangxuan was lying on a lounge chair at the peak's summit, leisurely drinking tea.

The sunlight spilled over him, warm and comfortable, making him want to sleep.

Beside him stood two Disciples; one served tea and water while the other fanned him, attending to him with extreme care.

"Revered Master, is your tea still hot? Let your Disciple add some more for you!"

The Disciple serving the tea looked at Daoist Master Cangxuan with a face full of admiration.

"Mhm! Very well, you have a good eye."

Daoist Master Cangxuan squinted his eyes, looking thoroughly satisfied.

When he spoke,

he didn't even open his eyes once!

"Revered Master, is the wind from this fan strong enough?"

The other Disciple fanning him also asked flatteringly from the side.

"Enough, it's quite enough."

Daoist Master Cangxuan nodded contentedly, feeling wonderful in his heart.

At his level of strength,

logically speaking, he didn't need anyone to serve him at all.

Especially the person fanning him—what use was that?

However,

what he wanted was this feeling, the feeling of being served!

Refreshing!

Extremely refreshing!

Since he joined the Tianyuan Sect, his days had been incredibly carefree.

Originally, he had hidden his strength at the Unity Realm and had already received great treatment; the Tianyuan Sect not only gave him an Inner Sect Elder position but also assigned him two hundred Disciples, making him the Peak Revered Master of Chilian Peak.

Although Chilian Peak was as desolate as a haunted house at the time, having Disciples to serve him, resources to take, no work to do, and no worries made this life much more comfortable than when he was in the Tianxuan Dynasty.

However,

after Wang Chen's Clone returned from the Fire Phoenix Dynasty, because it had devoured a large-scale plane, the dynasty's Power of Imperial Fortune increased significantly, and Wang Chen had once bestowed that power downward.

Even though they were not in the same plane,

Daoist Master Cangxuan also received the baptism of the dynasty's Imperial Fortune.

That time,

his strength directly broke through to the Peak Domain Realm, and his terrifying aura could not be hidden at all, instantly shocking the entire Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

At that moment,

everyone in the Tianyuan Sect was dumbfounded.

A Loose Cultivator in the Unity Realm had suddenly become a Peak Domain Realm big shot?

What kind of operation was this?

Sect Master Liu Yuanzong was stunned on the spot, only reacting after a long silence.

Including several Grand Elders of the Tianyuan Sect and that Half-Step Immortal Realm Old Ancestor,

all of them rushed to Chilian Peak to personally pay their respects to Daoist Master Cangxuan.

Then,

everyone unanimously agreed on the spot to elevate Daoist Master Cangxuan to the throne of Grand Elder.

"Senior Cangxuan, you really hid yourself deep!"

Liu Yuanzong had a bitter smile, looking at Daoist Master Cangxuan's face with eyes full of resentment.

"If you had said earlier that you were a Domain Realm big shot, how would this Junior have dared to let you be an Inner Sect Elder? Wouldn't that be shortening this Junior's life?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan was also bewildered at the time.

He had originally wanted to continue hiding his strength and comfortably be his 'salted fish' Elder.

As a result, as soon as the Imperial Fortune baptism came, his cultivation directly broke through and couldn't be hidden at all.

"Cough, cough, the Sect Master is too polite. It's mainly because I have always been low-key and don't like to show off."

Liu Yuanzong's mouth twitched.

Low-key?

Don't like to show off?

You, a Peak Domain Realm big shot, came to our Tianyuan Sect to be an Inner Sect Elder, and you call that low-key?

You call that not liking to show off?

What kind of logic is this?

Are you playing the game of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?

However, he didn't dare to say these words. The Peak Domain Realm was an existence standing at the very top of the Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

Although their Tianyuan Sect also had Peak Domain Realm Old Ancestors, those ancestors were in seclusion year-round and didn't care about worldly affairs at all.

Now that a living Peak Domain Realm big shot was willing to stay in the Tianyuan Sect, it was a huge blessing; he was more than happy.

It was from then on

that Daoist Master Cangxuan's days became even more comfortable.

As a Grand Elder, he didn't have to work or worry. Every month, his cultivation resources piled up like a mountain, and Disciples would respectfully call him "Old Ancestor" when they saw him.

Every day he just drank tea, basked in the sun, slept, and occasionally gave pointers on the cultivation of Chilian Peak's Disciples. His life was more divine than that of an immortal.

"Sigh, this life is too comfortable. This is what you call living. Why didn't I know how to enjoy it before?"

Just as he was lying on the rocking chair enjoying life,

a figure sped over from the horizon and landed on Chilian Peak.

It was a Tianyuan Sect Disciple who ran over panting and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Grand Elder, the Sect Master requests your presence at the Discussion Hall."

"What is it?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan asked lazily.

He was now a Grand Elder; even if it was the Sect Master of the Tianyuan Sect, if he didn't want to pay attention, the other party couldn't do anything about it.

Therefore,

his attitude could be described as very casual.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, it seems that... people from the Dragon Clan have arrived."

*Pfft—*

Hearing the other party's words,

Daoist Master Cangxuan spat out a mouthful of tea on the spot.

"What? Dra... Dragon Clan?"

Could it be that the Dragon Emperor had come looking for him?

"Do you know... who it is that came?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan's voice couldn't help but tremble slightly as he spoke.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, it is the Princess of the Dragon Clan."

Daoist Master Cangxuan froze for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Princess?"

As long as it's not that Dragon Emperor, it's fine.

What could a little slip of a girl do to him?

"Let's go and have a look."
