104: Just keep fighting, we will hold up the sky if it falls!
A few moments later, as everyone was still discussing animatedly, Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan finally returned to the Xuan Clan.
They stood tall and walked with steady steps, now slowly approaching the main hall together.
In the blink of an eye, the two were already standing in the center of the hall.
"After being in seclusion for more than half a year, you ran off as soon as you came out. Now you finally remember to come see us old folks!"
As Xuan Zhenshi spoke, his eyes were full of kindness, like a benevolent elder chiding a junior.
Xuan Tianchen heard this and immediately chuckled, "Uncle Shi, as the saying goes, in the path of cultivation, if you don't advance, you retreat. I've been busy cultivating!"
He had a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.
Xuan Zhenshi heard him and immediately said with a half-smile, "Are you coming to see us old folks because you've run out of cultivation resources again?"
Xuan Tianchen scratched his head a little sheepishly, "No one understands me better than Uncle Shi!"
"Hahaha, you rascal. This Imperial Son will have someone send over the heaven and earth treasures you need for cultivation later." Xuan Zhenshi laughed heartily.
"In that case, I'll trouble Uncle Shi!" Xuan Tianchen bowed slightly in thanks.
Seeing this, Xuan Zhenshi then said excitedly, "Come, come, come. Later, This Imperial Son will have an immortal feast prepared, and we'll all have a few drinks together."
"Since Uncle Shi and All the Elders have such elegant tastes, Tianchen will certainly accompany you to the end!"
Xuan Tianchen did not decline in the slightest and readily agreed.
A few short moments later, various dazzling immortal delicacies and fine wines were neatly arranged before everyone.
Upon closer inspection, each immortal delicacy exuded an extremely rich immortal energy.
The immortal energy swirled, dreamlike and illusory.
If an ordinary cultivator were to take a bite, his cultivation would greatly improve, as if he had been reborn.
If a mortal from the lower realms were to take a bite, it would not be an exaggeration for him to ascend to immortality on the spot, which shows how precious and miraculous these immortal delicacies and fine wines were.
"Everyone, please be seated!"
At Xuan Zhenshi's gesture, Xuan Tianchen and All the Elders of the Xuan Clan orderly took their seats.
Only Elder Yan remained standing proudly beside Xuan Tianchen, showing no intention of sitting down.
Seeing this, Xuan Tianchen said, "Elder Yan, you should also take a seat!"
"This old man obeys!" Seeing that it was Xuan Tianchen who spoke, Elder Yan no longer hesitated and carefully took his seat as well.
After all, as Xuan Tianchen's personal protector, he naturally had to obey his every command.
After everyone was seated, Xuan Tianchen suddenly raised his wine glass and stood up first.
Then he said with a serious expression, "Everyone here is Tianchen's elder, but these past years I've been busy adventuring outside and haven't had a good drink with you all.
Now, as a junior, I toast you all! Thank you for everything you've done over the years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Tianchen directly drained the wine in his glass, his movements swift and decisive.
His words and his toast at this moment were not in his capacity as the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, but as a junior.
This was because after he devoured those two forces of the Grand Dao of an Epoch, his awakened memories became a little more complete.
Although still somewhat fragmented, he finally saw the scene of the original owner of this body's demise.
He possessed the aptitude of the Chaos Demon God, a young forbidden existence, who had slain countless powerful enemies.
Yet, in the War of Gods and Demons, he was jointly suppressed by ten Great Divine Emperors who gathered the righteous providence of the Myriad Heavens Divine Domain and the providence of the Grand Dao of All Living Beings.
He could only single-handedly contend against ten peak Great Divine Emperors with his initial Divine King cultivation, and ultimately died of exhaustion!
In addition, he also learned the true identities of everyone standing before him at this moment: the Eighteen Demon Gods of the Xuan Clan in the Myriad Heavens Divine Domain!
They were sworn brothers of his nominal father, Xuan Ming, and also the clan elders of this body's previous life.
Looking across the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Domain, each of them was a terrifying existence renowned throughout the heavens.
Their appearance in this Grand World of the Heavens, where even divine power did not exist, was naturally to protect the original Xuan Tianchen.
And after he transmigrated, his soul completely merged with the original Xuan Tianchen.
In other words, he was actually his past self before transmigration, and also the true Xuan Tianchen.
Therefore, these Xuan Clan powerhouses before him could also be considered his true family.
"Tianchen, you seem a little different today. Has something happened?"
Xuan Zhenshi, who noticed the underlying meaning in Xuan Tianchen's words, couldn't help but ask, his gaze full of concern.
At the same time, the other Xuan Clan powerhouses also looked at each other, seemingly having anticipated something, their expressions becoming agitated.
Under everyone's gaze, Xuan Tianchen finally replied with deep and firm eyes:
"I've awakened memories from my previous life. Although fragmented, I've managed to see some things!"
"It seems that after you devoured those two forces of the Grand Dao, it accelerated the awakening of your memories."
At this point, Xuan Zhenshi no longer concealed what he knew.
Then he asked, "What do you plan to do next? Will you retrieve those lost memories yourself, or should This Imperial Son tell you?"
"There's no need for Uncle Shi to trouble himself. I will retrieve the lost memories one by one with the battle halberd in my hand.
I believe it won't be long before I descend upon the Divine Domain again with an unstoppable posture. By then, my former powerful enemies will all become souls claimed by my halberd!"
Xuan Tianchen's words were filled with confidence and resolve, his aura seemingly capable of piercing through the clouds.
"Very good! Big Brother also hopes that you will retrieve the lost memories yourself! You just go ahead and slaughter your way through; if the sky falls, we will be standing behind you."
Xuan Zhenshi gently patted Xuan Tianchen's shoulder, his eyes full of gratification and anticipation.
"Second Brother is right. With us old folks around, you can kill to your heart's content in this world."
A Xuan Clan Elder said heroically, his voice containing boundless dominance.
"The day you return to the Divine Domain will be the day the War of Gods and Demons reignites!"
Another Elder immediately echoed, his eyes flashing with resolute light.
"Over the years, several young juniors have rapidly risen in the Divine Domain. I'm sure they'll be to your liking!"
Yet another Elder said with a slight smile, his tone carrying a hint of anticipation.
"Tianchen, the day you return to the Divine Domain, this old man will secretly kill a Divine Emperor to welcome you!"
A hot-tempered Elder shouted, the killing intent in his words chilling... At this moment, All the Elders of the Xuan Clan, who were originally immortal-like, finally no longer concealed the terrifying aura on their bodies.
Accompanied by the dense, solidified, and eerie black energy swirling around them, they spoke of killing at every turn, and the intense murderous aura sent shivers down one's spine.
Even though Xuan Tianchen was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a surge of awe at this sight.
No wonder he himself was the reincarnation of the chaos demon god; it turned out his entire family were Demon Gods.
The aura emanating from these elders, every trace and every wisp, was filled with destruction and ferocity, as if their very existence was for conquest and slaughter.
Sensing the fervent expectations of everyone, Xuan Tianchen said calmly and very firmly, "Believe me, my return to the Divine Domain will not be long!"
His voice was steady and powerful, like a vow, echoing in the grand hall.
Seeing this, everyone, delighted, also drained the wine in their glasses.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, displaying a heroic demeanor.
At this moment, Elder Yan, who was at the side, also suddenly stood up and congratulated Xuan Tianchen, "Congratulations, Imperial Son, on awakening your memories!"
"Elder Yan, as my protector, you have traveled extensively with This Imperial Son over the years. You've worked hard! I toast you!"
As Xuan Tianchen spoke, he once again raised his freshly refilled wine glass and then drained it.
As his protector, Elder Yan had accompanied him frequently over the years, traveling back and forth with him between the Upper Heavens and the lower realms.
As long as he gave the order, no matter what kind of powerful enemy they faced, Elder Yan could effortlessly cut them down as if slicing melons and vegetables.
In his eyes, Elder Yan was not only his protector but also a respected elder.
"Thank you for the Imperial Son's kindness. This old man will certainly clear all obstacles on the Imperial Son's path to the pinnacle of the Grand Dao!"
Elder Yan's voice was firm and powerful, just like his resolve to dedicate everything for the Imperial Son to reach the pinnacle of the Grand Dao.
Thus, everyone continued to drink until evening.
They only departed one after another when the sunset glow gradually faded.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Xuan Tianchen returned to the Imperial Son Palace and began his cultivation.
Today, besides awakening some memories, he also had a conversation with All the Elders of his clan. Xuan Tianchen could be said to have gained a lot.
At least regarding his current cultivation realm, he had a new understanding.
That is, above the Great Emperor, there is the Divine Realm, and the strongest are the Divine Emperors who stand at the pinnacle of the Divine Domain.
One must know that it was powerhouses of this realm who suppressed his past self.
From this point alone, powerhouses of this realm are not to be underestimated.
But he was no longer the Xuan Tianchen of his previous life. He didn't care about Divine Emperors or not; anyone who hindered his invincible path would only have one outcome.
That is, to be seized and instantly refined!
