6: Xuanjian Immortal Realm, the power of the imperial clan!

In the Upper Realm, Xuanjian Immortal Domain… The Xuan Clan, also known as the Imperial Clan, stood like a colossal, unshakeable behemoth, overlooking all beings with absolute majesty.

The entire vast Immortal Domain was shrouded in a light veil woven from rich immortal qi, with Dao rhyme swirling like wisps of smoke, endlessly flowing.

From time to time, several immortal cranes flapped their wings and flew past, their wings cutting through the void, leaving behind ethereal, dreamlike streaks of light.

Above the towering Immortal Gate, which seemed to connect heaven and earth, hung a golden plaque.

On the plaque, the words “Xuan Clan” shone brightly, each stroke seemingly imbued with the profound truths of the universe.

This was personally inscribed by Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor, every stroke exuding endless Imperial rhyme, as if possessing immense power to suppress the firmament.

And below the Immortal Gate, there were merely two Xuan Clan guards, their bodies enveloped in immortal light, their aura vast as the sea, both of them actually Immortal Emperor Realm experts!

They stood tall and straight like pines, their gazes sharp as lightning, and simply by standing there, they exuded an insurmountable sense of pressure.

Suddenly! With a “crack,” a spatial passage abruptly opened in front of the Immortal Gate.

The passage, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, appeared abruptly in this serene and peaceful space.

This sudden change caused the surrounding immortal qi to surge like a raging tide, scattering wildly in all directions.

For a moment, the wind howled, and immortal clouds churned.

Seeing this, the two guards’ Immortal Emperor auras also erupted without reservation at this moment.

That powerful aura surged outwards like crashing waves.

Their eyes, like torches, fixed intently on the spatial passage ahead, their expressions wary.

“Who is so bold as to dare trespass into my Xuanjian Immortal Domain!” one of the guards roared, his voice like a clap of thunder, echoing through the space.

“This Imperial Son has returned!” As he spoke, Xuan Tianchen slowly stepped out from within the void.

His figure was tall and straight, radiating an unparalleled aura of majesty and nobility, as if he were the master of this heaven and earth.

Closely following him was Elder Yan, enveloped in a sacred rhyme.

The sacred halo behind him shimmered with layers of light, making him appear even more mysterious and powerful.

Seeing this, the expressions of the two guards instantly transformed from wariness into deep reverence and respect.

Immediately, both knelt on one knee, respectfully saying, “Welcome, Imperial Scion, back to the clan!”

“Mm, no need for formalities, rise!” Xuan Tianchen slightly raised his hand, his tone calm yet imbued with an irresistible authority.

The two guards rose at his command, standing with hands at their sides.

Following this, one of the guards bowed again, then slowly spoke, “The Imperial Scion has been away from the clan for eight years for training. Now that you have returned, do I need to report to the clan leader?”

Xuan Tianchen heard this and calmly said, “You do not need to trouble yourselves. This Imperial Son will go visit him personally!”

“Yes!” The guard respectfully retreated to the side.

Xuan Tianchen looked up at the Xuan Clan Immortal Gate before him, and a hint of emotion involuntarily surfaced in his deep, blood-red eyes.

“It’s already been eight years since I came to this world!”

Eight years ago, Xuan Tianchen transmigrated here, becoming a ten-year-old boy.

After learning his identity, in order to prepare some contingencies for the day he would overturn the tables with the myriad worlds, Xuan Tianchen took Elder Yan, his most trusted companion, and left the Xuan Clan under the pretext of training, remaining away for eight years until now.

Within these eight years, Xuan Tianchen’s hands were stained with countless blood, and he grew from a ten-year-old child into the Upper Realm’s foremost young expert, a young taboo with formidable methods.

Now, returning to the Xuan Clan after eight years, he indeed felt a great deal.

Every familiar blade of grass, every tree, every brick, every tile, stirred memories deep within his heart.

After a moment of reverie, Xuan Tianchen composed himself and strode purposefully through the Xuan Clan’s main gate.

His steps were firm and powerful, each one seemingly carrying the force of thunder.

As for Elder Yan, he followed as always, his figure flickering and instantly disappearing from his original spot.

“Compared to eight years ago, the Imperial Scion’s cultivation realm has advanced considerably!”

“Indeed! Even with my Ninth Level Immortal Emperor cultivation, looking into the Imperial Scion’s blood-red eyes, I can’t help but feel a tremor!”

The two guards watched Xuan Tianchen’s departing figure, praising him endlessly, their eyes filled with reverence and admiration.

After Xuan Tianchen entered the Xuan Clan, the clansmen he encountered along the way couldn't help but turn their heads.

“It’s the Imperial Scion! The Imperial Scion has returned!” Someone exclaimed, and the sound instantly echoed throughout the entire Xuan Clan.

“We respectfully welcome the Imperial Scion back to the clan!”

“With the Imperial Scion’s return, our Xuan Clan is sure to become even stronger!”

“Over these years, the Imperial Scion’s renown has already spread throughout the Upper Realm!”

In just a moment, the discussions of the Xuan Clan members continuously rang in Xuan Tianchen’s ears.

But his expression remained calm, completely unmoved, as he walked directly towards the main hall of the clan.

A short while later, as he arrived before the Xuan Clan’s main hall, the hall doors automatically opened, and an old man with an immortal-like demeanor walked out from within.

This person was none other than the Xuan Clan’s Great Elder, Xuan Zhenfeng, an unparalleled Eighth Layer Quasi-Emperor expert!

“Tianchen, you’ve finally returned.” Great Elder Xuan Zhenfeng’s voice carried both relief and emotion.

Xuan Tianchen saw this and smiled slightly, “Great Elder, long time no see, I hope you’ve been well.”

“Hahaha, good, good indeed! Come in quickly, the clan has been eagerly awaiting your return,” the Great Elder said with a laugh.

Xuan Tianchen heard this, then turned to Elder Yan beside him and said, “Elder Yan, you should go back and rest first, no need to accompany me inside!”

“As per the Imperial Scion’s command!” Elder Yan’s figure flickered, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

A moment later, guided by Xuan Zhenfeng, Xuan Tianchen finally arrived inside the Xuan Clan’s Grand Hall.

As the center of the entire Xuan Clan and its deliberation hall, this place was incredibly grand and magnificent.

Giant hall pillars reached the heavens, intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, lifelike, as if they could break free from the stone pillars and soar at any moment.

The high dome was inlaid with countless dazzling immortal pearls, constantly emitting a soft yet mysterious light.

The floor was paved with smooth, mirror-like crimson jade immortal stones, reflecting everything in the hall, making one feel as if walking between illusion and reality.

Above the main hall, immortal qi, so dense it was almost tangible, permeated the surroundings, and Dao rhyme was like smoke and mist.

The middle-aged man seated at the very top of the main hall was Xuan Zhenshi, the Xuan Clan leader.

As an unparalleled Ninth Level Quasi-Emperor existence, merely his every gesture could stir the power of heaven and earth.

His figure was imposing, his face resolute, and his eyes were as deep as stars, revealing endless majesty and wisdom.

Even with his aura restrained, he still contained power capable of destroying the heavens and annihilating the earth.

And on the seats on both sides of the main hall were All the Elders of the Xuan Clan.

Each of them had a solemn expression and a dignified demeanor.

At a glance, they were all Quasi-Emperor Experts, some with an immortal-like demeanor, others mighty and domineering.

The powerful auras emanating from them intertwined, forming a suffocating sense of pressure.

And this was the strength of an Imperial Clan!

Any one of them, when sent out, could stir up significant changes across the entire Upper Realm.

At this moment, as Xuan Tianchen stepped into the main hall, everyone’s gaze instantly focused on him.

Especially Xuan Zhenshi, who was seated at the very top; his figure flickered, and he appeared before Xuan Tianchen in an instant, like a ghost.

“Come, come, come, it’s been eight years, let this old man have a good look!” Xuan Zhenshi placed his hand on Xuan Tianchen’s shoulder, saying with a smiling face.

“Alright, alright, it’s only been eight short years. For you old fossils who have lived for tens of thousands of years, it’s just a flick of a finger!”

Xuan Tianchen pouted slightly, a hint of nonchalance on his face, but his eyes revealed a closeness towards Xuan Zhenshi.

Xuan Zhenshi heard this and immediately burst into hearty laughter: “Haha, you rascal, you still speak so irreverently! But no matter what, this old man has seen your growth over these eight years and rejoices in his heart!”

Xuan Tianchen slightly raised his head, looking at Xuan Zhenshi, and said, “As the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, how could I disgrace the Xuan Clan while outside!”

The surrounding Elders watched this scene, also revealing relieved smiles.

“Tianchen, your heroic deeds over these years have already spread throughout the entire Upper Realm. Truly worthy of being the son of the immortal emperor of our Xuan Clan.”

“Indeed! Tianchen’s talent is unparalleled in this generation, now looking down upon all the prodigies of the Upper Realm. This is truly a fortunate event for our Xuan Clan!”

“We believe that under Tianchen’s leadership, our Xuan Clan will surely move towards an even more glorious future!”

...Facing the congratulations from All the Elders present, Xuan Tianchen merely smiled faintly, not refuting them.

After all, as the Son of the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor and the current Imperial Son of the Xuan Clan, he was destined from birth to sweep through all heavens and look down upon all beings.

In his heart, he had already envisioned a magnificent grand plan: to conquer the entire Three Thousand Worlds with an invincible posture.

Anyone who stood in his way was an enemy!
