On the way, Chen Xi also learned about the specific situation of Shenyan Mountain from Xing Zhen, and finally solved the doubts in his heart.
It turns out that the Lord of Shenyan Mountain, Fuxi, has two other junior brothers. Since Fuxi left in a strange way many years ago, these two old antiques have been in charge of Shenyan Mountain.
They are "Emperor Shun" and "Wen Daozhen" respectively. Their cultivation is unfathomable. They existed at the same time as Fuxi, the Lord of Shenyan Mountain. They can be called living stone-level antiques.
Fuxi, Emperor Shun, and Wen Daozhen are also known as the "Three Masters of Shenyan".
Over the years, because of these two people in charge, even if Fuxi, the Lord of Shenyan Mountain, drifted away without a trace, no one dared to underestimate Shenyan Mountain.
However, these two old antiques have been in seclusion. They are in the ultimate state of enlightenment. Unless something shocking happens, they will definitely not appear.
Like Xingzhen, he is a descendant of the lineage of the third patriarch Wen Daozhen.
Xingzhen’s master was named Wen Ting, Wen Ting’s master was named Tang Xian, and Tang Xian’s master was the third patriarch, Wen Daozhen.
In other words, this Xingzhen is the third generation disciple of Wen Daozhen's lineage.
This is the reason why Xing Zhen calls Chen Xi his uncle, because in terms of seniority, Chen Xi can be regarded as the first generation direct disciple of Fu Xi, the Lord of Shenyan Mountain.
It is worth mentioning that in the entire Shenyan Mountain, Fuxi's lineage, including Chen Xi, has only fourteen direct disciples so far, and there are no alternate generations of disciples.
As for Emperor Shun's lineage, there have been no disciples so far, so naturally there are no successors.
Only Wen Daozhen's lineage has not only three generations of disciples, but also a large number of disciples in each generation. It can be said that it is the lineage with the largest number of disciples in Shenyan Mountain.
According to strict orthodox inheritance, only Chen Xi and his fourteen senior brothers can be regarded as the direct successors of Shenyan Mountain.
Wen Daozhen's lineage can only be regarded as a side branch.
After understanding all this, Chen Xi finally understood that Shenyan Mountain was not as simple as he imagined.
It is finally clear why Shenyan Mountain is revered as one of the "Five Poles of the Imperial Domain". It turns out that there are living fossil-level antiques like Emperor Shun and Wen Daozhen sitting in the mountain gate!
Not only that, there are many more disciples in the mountain sect than expected, which naturally means that Shenyan Mountain does not lack the peak power in each realm!
All of this was something Chen Xi had never known before.
Similarly, understanding all this also allowed Chen Xi to further understand the background of Shenyan Mountain.
In fact, this is normal. For example, the Supreme Sect has disciples, true disciples, elders, red-robed priests, and holy priests. The divisions can be called a giant.
Like the seminary, it is divided into levels such as law enforcement disciples, Taoist disciples, palm seal disciples, teaching elders, etc. The hierarchy is also strict.
Compared with these two major forces, it is reasonable for Shenyan Mountain to have such a power system. Otherwise, what would they get with just fourteen of their brothers and Fuxi, the master of Shenyan Mountain who disappeared without a trace?
Competed with the other four poles of the Imperial Realm.
Of course, in comparison, the power of Shenyan Mountain still seems to be a bit weak, and cannot be compared with behemoths such as Taishangjiao and Shenyuan, which have countless disciples.
But Chen Xi knew that the number of disciples he had could not affect the strength of a party's force at all.
Just like a sect with tens of thousands of disciples of the Dongguang Spirit God, it will definitely not be able to compete with a sect with ten disciples of the Ancestral God Realm.
As for behemoths like Shenyan Mountain, Taishang Sect, and the Divine Academy, which can be said to be the supreme power in the entire ancient divine realm, it is impossible to compare the number of disciples to determine which one is better.
In short, although the number of disciples in Shenyan Mountain is small, the power each disciple possesses is absolutely beyond imagination.
This is true as the saying goes, "The most important thing in a soldier is his finesse."
…
"Uncle Master, further up is the important area of the mountain gate. With my current cultivation level, I cannot enter it. However, I will ask Master for instructions later and she will take you to meet Master Tie Yunhai."
After burning the incense, Xingzhen suddenly stopped and whispered.
"That's fine."
Chen Xi nodded. After traveling to this point, he also noticed keenly that as the mountain rose, an obscure forbidden power quietly emerged, filling every inch of the void.
It seems invisible and silent, but walking in it makes people feel an indescribable pressure on their body and mind.
According to Chen Xi's deduction, even with his current power, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand this kind of power before he can travel for long.
Xing Zhen continued to move forward with Chen Xi, and not long after, they came to a cliff.
This cliff flat covers an area of only a thousand feet, with old trees entwined with roots, tender green grass, purple vines hanging down, and colorful bees and butterflies flying among them. There is also an ancient thatched cottage built on one side.
In front of the thatched cottage is a winding clear stream. At this moment, a large and colorful tiger is lying lazily on the bank of the clear stream, teasing a colorful butterfly with its tail, very leisurely.
In front of the hut, there is a stone table on display, with two people sitting on both sides of the stone table, drinking tea and talking.
On the left side of the stone table, there is a woman in green clothes. Her black hair hangs down smoothly around her waist, her face is beautiful and elegant, and her every move has a natural and simple connotation. But looking from a distance, she seems to have an invisible power of majesty.
Heart-stopping.
Sitting opposite the woman in green clothes was a short, fat old man with a childish face and fair hair. Sitting casually, he looked like an emperor overlooking the world, and his aura was extremely intimidating.
"That's my Master Wen Ting. Master, she had no father or mother since she was a child. She was an orphan. Later she was adopted by the Third Patriarch. It was the Third Patriarch who gave her this name himself."
From a distance, Xing Zhen looked at the woman in green, with a look of awe and admiration from the bottom of his heart, and whispered to Chen Xi.
"As for the other one, I don't recognize him. I think he is a friend who came to visit the Master."
Chen Xi nodded, but was secretly surprised in his heart. He could tell at a glance that Wen Ting was actually an emperor-level being!
"Xing Zhen, you are not studying the Five Elements Divine Artifact, so why are you here now?"
Suddenly, the woman in green turned her head when Wen Ting, glanced at Xing Zhen indifferently, and asked softly.
"Fellow Daoist Wen Ting, is this your disciple Xingzhen? He is indeed a good person. I heard that he was born from the abyss of the North Ming Dynasty and took shape as a wisp of the 'Innate Five-Colored Divine Flame', and now he follows
If I practice by your side, my future path will be limitless."
Before Xingdao could open his mouth, the short, fat old man with an immortal air had already expressed his admiration.
When Xingzhen saw this, he immediately saluted and said, "Senior, you are so complimentary."
When Chen Xi's identity was introduced, the short, fat old man spoke in surprise again: "Hey, who is this little guy? His destiny is concealed by the secret of heaven, which is really rare in the world!"
His eyes were filled with brilliance, and he stared at Chen Xi for a long time, with a look of surprise on his brows.
Wen Ting couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Chen Xi, only to find that his face was unfamiliar, she had never seen him before.
"Xing Zhen, who is this little friend?"
Wen Ting asked.
"Master, this is my great-uncle Chen Xi who has not returned to the master in these years."
Xing Zhen quickly introduced.
Chen Xi!
Wen Ting's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly stood up. She stared at Chen Xi carefully for a long time with some surprise, and finally took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Disciple Wen Ting, I have met my uncle."
An emperor existed, but at this moment he saluted Chen Xi, who was in the ancestral god realm, and called him "little master uncle"!
When he saw this scene, the short and fat old man froze in shock. He spat out the tea in his mouth with a pop, and then stood up with a slight embarrassment. He cupped his hands towards Chen Xi and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude before."
He was apologizing for calling Chen Xi "little guy" before.
"No problem."
Chen Xi smiled and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous in his heart. He didn't expect that he would have a female nephew who was at the emperor level...
"I don't know that my uncle is coming back today, and I'm not expecting him from afar. I still hope that my uncle will come back."
Wen Ting bowed politely, but it was as a matter of course, without any shyness or resistance. It is really rare for an emperor-level being to be able to do this.
"You're welcome."
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He felt that with his seniority, he felt a little uncomfortable speaking.
Seeing this, Wen Ting nodded and said: "Uncle Master, this is Feng Rongxun, the Taoist dean, with the title of 'Emperor Rongxun'."
With that said, Wen Ting introduced to the short and fat old man: "Fellow Taoist Rong Xun, this is my uncle Chen Xi, the fourteenth direct disciple of my great uncle Fu Xi."
"Seen..."
Emperor Rongxun was waiting to be greeted, but he found out awkwardly that if calculated according to seniority, as a friend of Wen Ting, he would even have to call Chen Xi, a young man in the Ancestral God Realm, a senior.
This made him somewhat speechless.
"It turns out that you are a master of the Taoist Academy. There is no need to stick to seniority. You and I can be treated as fellow Taoists."
Chen Xi smiled and said, but he understood the other party's slightly embarrassed mood.
Even if you say this, being the same as an emperor in ethics seems to be a bit of an advantage.
Of course, Emperor Rongxun didn't think so. At this moment, he finally understood that the young man in front of him was actually the fourteenth direct disciple accepted by the Lord of Shenyan Mountain, and he was really shocked.
Seeing that Chen Xi didn't have any arrogance, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This is the best, this is the best."
With that said, he said goodbye to Wen Ting, but Wen Ting didn't want to stay.
"Fellow Taoist Chen Xi, if you have the opportunity, I hope you can come to the Taoist Temple as a guest."
Before leaving, Emperor Rongxun also said goodbye to Chen Xi with a smile.
"must."
Chen Xi also cupped his hands and smiled.
After watching Emperor Rongxun leave, Wen Ting smiled at Chen Xi and said, "Uncle Master, our sect has been waiting for your return all these years."
Chen Xi was startled, and a warm current surged in his heart. Only when he returned to Shenyan Mountain would everyone treat him as one of their own. This feeling was indeed something he could not usually experience.
At that moment, Chen Xi ordered Wen Ting to take him to meet his third senior brother Tie Yunhai.
"Uncle, come with me."
Wen Ting did not delay, and immediately took Chen Xi towards the higher reaches of Shenyan Mountain.
As for Xing Zhen, he has already returned to the foot of the mountain.
