62: What should a Taoist priest be addressed as?
Regarding who should refine the Demon Race Origin, Su Qingtian and Su Yuanba unanimously agreed to let Su Hongyuan absorb it.
The old man had sacrificed a lot for this Family, so now that there was a benefit, it was only fitting that he be the first to enjoy it.
Su Hongyuan was not a wishy-washy person, so he quickly took the Demon Race Origin and went into seclusion within Bright Moon City.
Su Qingtian returned to Wangyun Mountain, while Su Chen stayed in Bright Moon City to wait for the old man's Breakthrough.
In the Eastern Region, specifically around the Jinghong Empire, the only person who used a Dragon as a mount was Su Chen. Furthermore, there were people from the Jinghong Empire in Bright Moon City.
Soon, the news that the Su Family of Bright Moon City was the same as the Su Family of Wangyun Mountain spread out.
"Wait, you all keep talking about the Wangyun Mountain Su Family; what does that have to do with the Bright Moon City Su Family?"
"You all know about the Eighth Prince ascending the throne a while ago, right? Well, the Seventh Prince's ascension relied on a Return to Origin Stage Cultivator, and that Return to Origin Stage Cultivator was none other than the Su Family's Young Clan Leader, Su Chen."
"I know about that too. Later, the Imperial Family found a Grotto-Heaven for the Su Family, which is Wangyun Mountain."
"So that means the Su Family didn't disappear because they were running away, but because they found a better place and relocated?"
In Bright Moon City, many people revealed expressions of awe after learning about the Su Family's deeds.
No one had expected the Su Family's strength to be this formidable.
Half a month passed just like that, and Bright Moon City gradually quieted down.
For the residents of Bright Moon City, having a powerful Su Family actually made them very happy. With a powerful force protecting Bright Moon City, their safety index had risen by many levels.
Take this recent Demon Race attack, for example; if the Su Family hadn't been in Bright Moon City, they would likely have been finished.
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from within the Su Family, spreading out toward the outskirts of Bright Moon City.
The terrifying pressure made the people of Bright Moon City panic. Countless people looked up, their expressions fearful as they stared in the direction from which the pressure was being released.
It was like a dream returning to half a month ago.
The pressure on that day had been just as terrifying as it was today.
This is a Return to Origin Stage powerhouse!
Soon, this pressure retracted.
In the inner courtyard of the Su Family, Su Hongyuan opened his eyes, his face filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
"Return to Origin Stage... is this the Return to Origin Stage!?"
At this moment, the aura on Su Hongyuan was natural and seamless; his whole being exuded an ethereal quality, a state of returning to simplicity.
Cultivating the Dao is divided into two directions: one is to increase one's Cultivation, and the other is to cleanse oneself, returning to simplicity.
From the moment a person is born, they possess countless impurities and are extremely turbid, requiring them to Cultivate to reach a state of complete purity.
As their Cultivation becomes stronger, they become cleaner and more transparent.
Passing the Heaven Rank in the Dao-Entry Realm, and a Saint severing the three corpses; only after these can one be considered to have reached Perfection and transparency.
However, because Su Chen used his Cultivation directly, he had bypassed all of this and achieved a Breakthrough.
Su Chen's figure appeared, and he said with a smile, "Congratulations on your Breakthrough to the Return to Origin Stage, Grandfather."
Su Hongyuan nodded at him, but soon the expression on his face began to tighten.
Su Hongyuan focused his attention on Su Chen, wanting to see through his little grandson, but in the end, he found it impossible.
Su Chen seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist—no, it should be said that there were countless layers. After he brushed aside one layer, another waited for him behind it.
No matter how many layers he brushed aside, there was never an end; it was like an abyss, infinite and endless.
A grave look appeared in Su Hongyuan's eyes. He had originally thought that after reaching the Return to Origin Stage, he would at least be able to roughly determine what Realm Su Chen was in.
But after reaching the Return to Origin Stage, he discovered that Su Chen was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly; Su Chen's strength was unfathomable.
Regarding Su Chen, there were actually many doubts, such as where this strength came from, as well as those Heaven And Earth Treasures.
In the past, Su Chen said he had a mysterious Revered Master, but now it seemed that the mysterious Revered Master was none other than himself.
But Su Hongyuan felt it didn't really matter; Su Chen also wished for the Su Family to prosper, and that was enough.
No matter how many secrets he had, he was always a part of the Su Family.
Su Hongyuan said with a smile, "Chener, I am preparing to return to Wangyun Mountain. Are you going to come back with me?"
Su Chen shook his head. "No, I plan to wander around."
Since entering this world, he hadn't really gone out to wander properly, not even around Bright Moon City.
He was also tired of staying at Wangyun Mountain, so he decided to go out to relax.
Su Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, then an ambiguous smile appeared on his face. "Chener, I see you're not young anymore. How about I find you a suitable match?"
Su Chen coughed twice. "Forget it, I don't have that intention for now."
Su Hongyuan smiled; he didn't try to persuade him further and turned to leave the Su Family.
Su Chen also turned and left the Su Family, strolling around Bright Moon City.
After a few hours, Su Chen left Bright Moon City again and headed toward Pingyang City.
In his memories, he had a playmate when he was a child, back when he was only about ten years old.
But later, she went to Pingyang City with her parents. This time, Su Chen planned to go over and take a look.
In his memories, his relationship with this playmate was quite good, and she could be considered one of the few friends Su Chen had during his childhood.
Su Chen was not in a hurry. After leaving Bright Moon City, he slowly headed in the direction of Pingyang City, walking and stopping along the way. Whenever he encountered a place with beautiful scenery, he would stop to rest.
"Walking alone with the mountains and waters, carefree amidst the setting sun."
Su Chen liked this kind of quiet and comfortable life, quietly watching the sunrise and sunset, feeling the heaven and earth, and all things.
Bright Moon City was extremely far from Pingyang City, and since he wasn't rushing, it took him nearly two months to travel only half the distance.
This day.
Su Chen was lying on a rock by a small stream, resting, when two figures walked out from the nearby woods.
Both of them were dressed as Daoists. One was a sixty-year-old Daoist priest; his face looked somewhat dull, and the light of wisdom in his eyes was dim.
By his side was a young Daoist priest about the same age as Su Chen.
Although he looked young, there was a sense of vicissitudes on his face that did not match his age.
The moment he saw Su Chen, the young Daoist's expression tightened.
In his Divine Sense, he hadn't detected that there was another person by the stream at all.
A powerhouse!
In an instant, the young Daoist knew that the person before him was definitely not simple.
In the entire Eastern Region, the number of people who could block his investigation could be counted on one hand.
Just as he was preparing to leave, Su Chen sat up and asked with a smile, "How should I address you, Daoist?"
