363: Chen family, stealing the immortal vein

You told him that you were a Demon Realm Cultivator.

On your way to the Demon Domain through a spatial tunnel, you accidentally encountered spatial turbulence, which led to you being stranded here.

“Demon Realm…”

The old man fell into deep thought.

However, after a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “There is indeed a fragile spatial node in my Chen Family Forbidden Ground.”

“But even so, it’s not a reason for you to trespass here.”

“It’s just… sigh, never mind, you may leave.”

After speaking, the old man pointed out a path for you.

Seeing this, you were naturally overjoyed.

Although, in your perception, the old man was likely not your opponent, it was better to avoid trouble if possible.

At this moment, you didn’t even know where you were, so it was best to minimize unnecessary trouble.

You walked out of the Chen Family Forbidden Land.

What greeted your eyes, however, were a group of Chen Family Cultivators looking at each other in dismay.

“Hmm? Who are you?”

“Why did you emerge from my Chen Family Forbidden Ground?”

Your brow furrowed upon hearing this. Just as you were about to explain, the old man from before launched a sneak attack on you.

“Clang!!!”

The crisp sound attracted the attention of everyone present.

The old man’s originally sinister expression quickly turned to surprise.

“You… how is this possible?!”

“Quick, form a battle array and kill this person! He must have learned the Chen Family’s secret; he absolutely cannot be allowed to leave!”

As soon as his words fell, you understood that the Chen Family Cultivators before you had ill intentions.

So, you simply didn’t bother with pleasantries and immediately began your attack.

divine essence wrapped around a willow leaf appeared in your hand.

Sword auras, one after another, slashed down, swiftly reaping the lives of those Chen Family Cultivators.

In just a few breaths, countless Chen Family Cultivators present were dead or wounded, and you had torn a gaping hole through their Ranks.

The Chen Family members were terrified, but for some reason, no matter how panicked they were, they still remained in place, not retreating an inch.

This made you realize that the Chen Family held a secret.

A great secret!

This secret must concern the life and death of their entire family, or carry the opportunity for their entire family to soar, which is why they disregarded the danger to their lives and insisted on keeping you here.

“Since that’s the case, let me see what it is.”

You snorted coldly.

The next moment, your figure flickered continuously among the Chen Family members, swiftly ending their lives.

The only Chen Family old man who could pose a threat to you kept attacking, but his attacks could only injure you, not kill you.

In fact, as time went on, once you had slaughtered the rest of the Chen Family, his attacks would no longer cause you any harm.

“Enough! Who exactly are you?!”

“This old man doesn’t believe you are the so-called Demon Realm Cultivator!”

“Our Immortal Domain is an unknown distance from the Demon Realm. Even the Four Great Families of the Immortal Domain find it difficult to travel there. How could you, a mere Rank Eight, possibly cross layers of Void Realm to reach this place?!”

The old man’s voice was like a grand bell.

But his only response was your cold sneer.

Originally, you did not want to cause more trouble. After all, you had the Growing Day by Day blessing, and constantly fleeing was only to buy some time to increase your cultivation.

But a tree desires calm, yet the wind does not cease.

You did not want to be enemies with the Chen Family, but these Chen Family Cultivators had no intention of letting you go.

Therefore, these people, in your eyes, were courting death.

What’s more, you now knew that the Chen Family held a great secret.

This made you even more curious as to what it truly was.

You raised your hand, grabbed two Chen Family Cultivators, then crushed their heads and instantly refined them!

The old man’s angry roars echoed in your ears, but his actions were nothing more than impotent rage.

Instantly, a large amount of memories flooded into your mind.

A hint of realization flashed in your eyes.

And when you looked at the old man, there was even a touch of surprise.

It turned out that the Chen Family’s ambition was an Immortal Vein.

The old man’s name was Chen Yuan, a Late Stage Rank Ten Cultivator.

However, he was severely injured during an expedition to a Secret Realm. Although he possessed the Rank Ten Realm, he had long lost the combat power of a Rank Ten.

This also made the Chen Family’s situation precarious.

To prevent the Chen Family from continuing to decline, he decided to take a dangerous gamble, stealing the Immortal Vein of the Lin Family, one of the Four Great Families, intending to use its power to return to his Peak.

It was easy to imagine the immense impact this would have on the Chen Family once it was exposed.

In fact, it didn't even need to be exposed.

As soon as Chen Yuan initiated his recovery plan, the Lin Family would detect it immediately.

But at this point, the Chen Family had no other options.

Because they were already at their wit's end.

Chen Yuan could only, after returning to his Peak by means of the Lin Family’s Immortal Vein, immediately pledge allegiance to the Ye Family, the Lin Family’s sworn enemy, and become their vassal.

Only this way could he and the Chen Family behind him have a glimmer of hope.

“Can overdrawing an Immortal Vein restore a large amount of strength…?”

You nodded thoughtfully.

Although the Chen Family’s goal in taking the Immortal Vein was only for Chen Yuan’s recovery, through the soul-searching just now, you discovered that an Immortal Vein could not only help others recover their cultivation but also help them improve it.

It’s just that the amount of improvement was far less significant than the recovery effect.

Furthermore, no one would risk offending the Four Great Families to steal their Immortal Vein.

But for you, it was a different story.

You were now being hunted by the entire God Race.

Although you didn't know how long it would take the God Race to find you.

But one thing was certain: since they had already mastered the method of passing through the weak spatial tunnels of the God Domain, they would definitely find your tracks.

If you couldn't Breakthrough to Rank Nine and disregard most Rank Ten God Race attacks before then, then certain death awaited you.

Thinking of this, you immediately said, “Since Fellow Daoist wishes to steal the Lin Family’s Immortal Vein, why not bring this Venerable one along?”

“Anyway, you’re going to offend them regardless, and with this Venerable one added, I can at least share some of the Lin Family’s pressure with you.”

“What?! You…”

Chen Yuan’s expression changed drastically.

But you merely waved your hand lightly, then calmly returned to the Chen Family Forbidden Ground.

Soon, you found the teleportation array set up by the Chen Family based on your memories.

Its Rank was extremely high.

Once the final inscription was completed, it could instantly teleport a Cultivator to the core of the Lin Family’s Immortal Vein.
