646: Chapter 646 Clan Chief Xuanyuan
You gaze at the dense stars in the firmament, a thought arising in your heart: The stars in this river of stars are too numerous to count; could it be that every single one has a Spirit Transformation Cultivator guarding it?
Xuanyuan Ziyan notices your confusion and smiles, explaining, "Our Xuanyuan clan territory is also called the Xuanyuan River of Stars. As for how many stars there are, even our own clansmen don't know. And not every star is inhabited..."
Listening to her explanation, you gradually understand.
The Xuanyuan River of Stars has countless stars, each with a circumference of over eighty thousand li, but not all of them are inhabited.
Every inhabited star is a "Home"; countless homes build up the entire Xuanyuan River of Stars, which is the entire Xuanyuan Immortal Clan.
Just like the star beneath your feet, the strongest Cultivator is that Soul Transformation, he is the master of this star, and also the master of this "Home."
The Xuanyuan Immortal Clan has a clan rule—after a Cultivator achieves a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation, they can choose a star in the Xuanyuan River of Stars to be their home.
Only a few stars on the edge of the entire river of stars have external Teleportation Arrays; the closer one gets to the center of the river of stars, the stronger the strength of the person guarding it.
You look at her, suddenly thinking of a question, and ask it directly, "You have already reached Body Integration, you must have your own home too, right?"
Xuanyuan Ziyan does not answer, but instead smiles and looks at the clansmen behind her, "You all should go home first."
Those Xuanyuan clansmen clasp their fists in unison, "Yes!"
Xuanyuan Yao, Xuanyuan Ming of Xuanyuan Immortal Clan, and Xuanyuan Mu exchange glances, their eyes seeming to show reluctance.
Xuanyuan Yao suddenly speaks up, "Grand-Aunt Ziyan, can I go to your home to play for a few days?"
"Yeah, yeah, we want to go play for a few days too!" Xuanyuan Ming of Xuanyuan Immortal Clan and Xuanyuan Mu also chime in unison.
Xuanyuan Ziyan smiles and nods, "Alright, you all can come."
The other clansmen step onto different internal Teleportation Arrays; with a flash of light, they disappear, not knowing which star they went to.
Xuanyuan Ziyan takes you to board an internal Teleportation Array; as the spiritual light flashes, the group appears on another star.
The firmament is even more brilliant than before, dotted with stars, densely filling your field of vision.
She smiles and says, "This is my home. I live with my parents; we haven't separated the Family yet."
"Who is your father?"
"Xuanyuan Shouyi, the current Clan Chief."
No sooner had she finished speaking than a team of guards wearing silver armor runs over, clasping their fists in unison, "Greetings, Young Miss."
Immediately after, the space ripples, and a figure appears out of thin air.
The person's aura is restrained, looking just like an ordinary middle-aged uncle—it is none other than Xuanyuan Shouyi.
"Father!" Xuanyuan Ziyan walks over and takes his arm, "Let me introduce you, this is the Star Lord of Nanyang, his name is Qin..."
She pauses, turns her head to look at you, "Your name is Qin Tian, right?"
"Don't call me the Star Lord of Nanyang anymore." You smile and say, "My name is Qin Chen."
Xuanyuan Shouyi looks you up and down, then suddenly nods with a smile, "You are that little fellow who repelled Liu Xuerong? Truly, the younger generation is to be regarded with respect!"
"Senior, you flatter me; it was just relying on external forces, nothing more than luck."
"External force is also a part of strength." He smiles and waves his hand.
You smile, not knowing what to say—after all, you came here for their Family's Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.
"I was very happy to learn that you were coming." Xuanyuan Shouyi raises his hand to gesture, "I have specially prepared a welcome banquet for you, please."
You politely clasp your fists, "Then I shall impose on you."
You follow him walking on the street, heading towards the mansion in the center of the city.
This city is not big, with a diameter of less than two hundred li, and a population of only a little over one hundred thousand people.
Such a small city, with so few people, makes you feel a bit unaccustomed.
Xuanyuan Shouyi is a Middle Stage Mahayana Cultivator, yet he actually lives in a place like this? The entire star is not even as magnificent as your Nanyang Immortal Mountain in the Heavenly Palace.
However, what is wonderful is that the entire river of stars, including the Star Continent beneath your feet, is unbelievably rich in Spiritual Qi, even far surpassing the Nanyang Immortal Mountain.
What floats in the air is not wind, but spiritual mist; what you step on beneath your feet is not soil, but spiritual earth.
With every breath, spiritual power flows into your body through your mouth and nose, nourishing you silently.
You finally understand why the Xuanyuan Immortal Clan can stand tall and unfallen.
It is because this land is too nourishing for people.
No, to be precise, it is because the entire Xuanyuan River of Stars is too inconceivable.
As you walk, a mansion appears before you.
Inside the mansion, there are no towering pavilions, no array patterns soaring with spiritual light, just an ordinary residence.
Of course, this "ordinary" is in comparison to those immortal cultivation families in the Immortal Domain.
If it were in a Mortal Dynasty, this mansion would still be as magnificent as a prince's palace.
But for a Mahayana Cultivator, this is no different from a Mortal living in a thatched cottage.
At the entrance of the mansion, there are currently two rows of people standing.
A one-meter-tall little girl walks over carrying a pot of wine and hands it to Xuanyuan Shouyi, her voice crisp and clear: "Clan Uncle, I heard a guest came to our home; this is the Moon Radiance Drunkenness I just brewed. Will you taste it and see if it's good?"
Xuanyuan Shouyi pats her head and smiles as he takes it: "Alright, thank you, Yun'er. Later, Clan Uncle will have a few more cups with you."
Yun'er claps her hands and cheers: "Yay!"
An old woman also hands over a roasted chicken, which gives off wafts of sauce fragrance: "Clan Chief, this is a Profound Chicken raised in my home; would you let the guest taste it too?"
Others also hold spiritual wine and delicacies, looking at Xuanyuan Shouyi with expectant faces.
Xuanyuan Shouyi smiles and waves his hand: "Alright, everyone come in."
Many people cast their gazes at you from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity.
Yun'er walks up to you with a smile, looking up, her eyes sparkling: "Are you the guest? Where did you come from? Is it fun there? What is the most delicious thing there?"
You look down at her, momentarily not knowing how to answer.
Xuanyuan Ziyan pulls Yun'er to her side and smiles at you: "Please excuse us."
"No matter," you reply with a smile, "She reminds me of my little sister when she was young; it's very endearing."
"Qin Yu is your little sister, right?" Xuanyuan Ziyan asks with a smile.
You nod.
"I really envy you, two Supremes in one Family." Xuanyuan Ziyan is full of smiles.
Xuanyuan Shouyi looks at you, nods slightly, and praises: "Young and promising. If your Qin Immortal Clan had not been destroyed, its strength would likely not be inferior to our Xuanyuan Immortal Clan."
"You guessed my identity?"
"Your situation, Ziyan has already told me via message."
You think that makes sense; after all, Liu Xuerong even said—Where the Nine Heavens tilt, the Qin Court stands; as the Ziwei shifts, the stars and constellations change—that is talking about you.
