A divine bird with gorgeous wings and incomparable steed was flying in full flight. It circled in the clear blue sky and then flew away.
Behind it, a nine-headed snake with a body that is ten thousand feet long winds its way up the sky, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, moving around.
On the earth, a water unicorn lay lazily by the river, squinting its eyes and basking in the sun, looking leisurely and contented.
A group of dragon butterflies that resemble butterflies with colorful scales carry magic medicine that sprays fine clouds in their mouths, and keep feeding it to the water unicorn's mouth, where it chews and swallows it.
In the distance, mountains undulate and cities loom, stretching to the end of the sky ∵√∵√∵√,□.¤¤.∞.
…
When Chen Xi and the others passed through that passage, the first thing they saw was a scene like this, with blue skies and green mountains, gurgling rivers, flying divine birds, and wandering divine beasts. The scenery was picturesque everywhere, like a paradise isolated from the world.
The heavenly aura here is also extremely pure, gentle, and omnipresent like sunlight, filling the heaven and earth with the innate chaotic aura visible to the naked eye.
There is no doubt that this place is definitely a holy land for cultivation. Compared with the so-called blessed land of cave heaven, it is simply not worth mentioning.
According to Chen Xi's inference, no matter how poor a cultivator's qualifications are, as long as he can practice here, he will not have to worry about being unable to advance and make a breakthrough!
This is the Nine Spirit World, a unique plane created in the mother nest of chaos, and it is also the home of the Chen clan, the guardian deity.
Whoosh!
Just when Chen Xi and the others arrived, there was a sudden fluctuation in the void, and a giant beast with a body as big as a dragon emerged.
"May I ask what this fellow Taoist from the Tang clan is doing here?"
Biwan opened his big copper bell eyes, and suddenly fixed his gaze on the leader, Tang Xian. When he noticed Tang Xian's terrifying cultivation level, his expression suddenly showed a hint of respect, and he lowered his head and asked.
"Go and notify Chen Lingkong that Tang Xian is visiting."
Tang Xian ordered casually.
"He is actually a friend of Supreme Elder Lingkong. Guest, please wait a moment and come back as soon as you get down."
The beast seemed to be taken aback, with a flash of divine light all over his body, and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
"Chen Lingkong?"
Wu Xuechan glanced at Tang Xian in surprise, "I remember this person, he seems to be..."
"Chen Lingjun's younger brother."
Tang Xian gave the answer directly, "But this person is much worse than Chen Lingjun back then."
"What?"
Chen Xi's heart was shocked, his father's younger brother?
Even if it is clear that Chen Lingkong is the younger brother of his father Chen Lingjun, he is only a relative of Chen Lingjun before his reincarnation and has little connection with Chen Xi.
But when he heard the news, Chen Xi was still surprised, because he had just heard the beast call Chen Lingkong "the Supreme Elder"!
The Chen family is a lineage of the Taoist God Clan, and Chen Lingjun actually has such a lofty status. It is conceivable that Chen Lingjun's status before reincarnation was so high in the Chen family!
"Elder brother, what was my father's position in the Chen family before he was reincarnated?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
"I have to ask your senior brother Tang Xian about this."
Wu Xuechan looked at Tang Xian.
Seeing this, Tang Xian had nothing to hide and said frankly: "Chen Lingjun back then was considered to be the first-class figure in the Chen clan. He had unparalleled magical powers and superb skills. He was also famous among the entire Taoist Clan."
Then, Tang Xian briefly recounted some of Chen Lingjun's deeds.
It turns out that Chen Lingjun back then was extremely talented and unrivaled in Taoism, and was known as the strongest person in the Chen family.
Back then, the Chen clan was originally just an extremely ordinary lower-class tribe among the Dao-protecting Clan. It did not even have a cultivation plane belonging to its own clan, and could only live in a world in the mother nest of chaos with some other lower-class clans.
However, with the strong rise of Chen Lingjun, the original pattern was broken in one fell swoop. He led the entire ethnic group to fight in all directions, forcibly carved out a world in this chaotic nest, completely took this "Nine Spirit World" as his own, and became
This is the place where the entire Chen family lives and occupies.
At that time, many other Dao-protecting divine clans lamented that with Chen Lingjun in charge, the Chen family’s rise was unstoppable. Many people even believed that one day, under the leadership of Chen Lingjun, the entire Chen clan would have great hope of becoming a Dao-protecting divine clan.
Among the ranks of the superior tribes.
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened to Chen Lingjun. For some reason, he took away a family treasure and chose to be reborn!
As soon as this happened, not only the Chen family was shocked, but the entire Dao-Guardian Clan was also inconceivable and unbelievable.
But what happened has happened, whether you believe it or not, it can no longer be undone.
Since then, the Chen clan has become quiet, unlike its previous rise. Even as the years have passed, the power of the entire Chen clan has gradually shown signs of decline.
To this day, the Chen clan can only maintain a medium-level power, and can only be regarded as a second-rate force among the entire Dao-protecting God Clan. It is stronger than those lower tribes, but weaker than other Dao-protecting tribes who are also mid-level tribes.
Divine power.
…
After hearing all this, Chen Xi fell into a long silence, his mood extremely complicated.
He never expected that his father would be so powerful forever, that he would single-handedly help the entire clan turn things around, rise to the top, and open up a new world within the lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan.
But time has passed, and his father is now imprisoned and reduced to a prisoner of the rank and file. He does not know whether he is alive or dead. This change makes it difficult for Chen Xi to accept it.
Why?
What exactly happened?
Why did my father insist on leaving and choose reincarnation?
Now that you have been reincarnated, will you finally choose to return to the Chen family?
Chen Xi couldn't understand it, but he was sure that there must be some reason hidden in it!
"Senior Brother Tang Xian, do you know why they want to arrest my father now?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.
Tang Xian shook his head: "I don't know about this. After all, this is a confidential matter within the Chen clan. Even within the Chen clan, there are probably very few people who know about it. Maybe when you take your father back this time
, you will know as soon as you ask.”
Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Immediately, he took a deep breath and became more determined in this action.
Wow
In the distance in the void, there was a sudden tumbling, and soon, a divine rainbow came through the sky, spanning the sky and the earth, like an arch bridge, and dropped towards this side.
Above the sacred rainbow, there are more than ten figures standing, each with a natural charm, extraordinary momentum, and extremely extraordinary.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing loose clothes and a wide belt, with flowing beard and hair, a majestic face, and a formidable aura.
At this moment, he came with his hands behind his back and his feet on the divine rainbow. Although he stood quietly and still, he had a supreme aura of controlling the universe and looking down on all living beings.
Obviously, this is a Taoist realm figure!
"This person is Chen Lingkong, the great elder of the Chen clan today. He is in charge of the affairs of the entire clan. Since Chen Lingjun disappeared that year, he has become the most powerful person in the Chen clan."
Tang Xian quickly transmitted the message and introduced the identity of the middle-aged man, "Of course, he only has overwhelming power. The Chen family also has several amazing living stone-level antiques. They are the cornerstone of the entire Chen family.
"
The implication is that Chen Lingkong has immense power, but his own strength cannot be said to be the most powerful one in the Chen family.
"It is indeed not as good as Chen Lingjun. His aura is at the same level as that of Taishang Jiao Mo Lin."
Wu Xuechan chuckled and made a comment.
During the conversation, Chen Lingkong had already arrived with a group of people and greeted them.
"Haha, I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Tang Xian would come in person. What a rare visitor."
Chen Lingkong laughed loudly and stepped forward to greet Tang Xian.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but my Taoist friend still has the same style. It's really gratifying."
Tang Xian replied calmly and introduced Wu Xuechan beside him, "This is my senior brother from Shenyan Mountain, Wu Xuechan. You must have heard of me, fellow Taoist."
Chen Lingkong raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, and then he smiled and cupped his hands and said: "It turns out to be Mr. Shen Yanshan. This is our first meeting. If there are any omissions, please forgive me."
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."
Wu Xuechan smiled.
"Who is this?"
This time, without waiting for Tang Xian's introduction, Chen Lingkong looked at Chen Xi. At this moment, when he saw Chen Xi's face clearly, his eyes shrank unnoticeably, and then returned to the same state as before. If he didn't observe carefully, he would definitely
Hard to find anymore.
But this tiny detail was still captured by Chen Xi extremely keenly, and his heart suddenly froze. Could it be that the other party recognized him?
"Huh."
However, this time, without waiting for Tang Xian's introduction, a young woman behind Chen Lingkong said in surprise, "This person looks so familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before?"
"Yes, I feel that way too."
"Why do I feel that he looks somewhat similar to Zuo Qiuxue, the wife of the criminal Chen Lingjun?"
The young girl's unintentional words made some of the Chen clan members nearby also speak out, and they looked at Chen Xi with a strange look in their eyes.
But Chen Xi could no longer care about these. When he heard the words "Sinner Chen Lingjun", Chen Xi felt as if he was struck by lightning, and an indescribable anger suddenly surged into his heart, making him almost unable to control it!
At this moment, a big hand pressed on Chen Xi's shoulder, and a warm force came through, making Chen Xi calm down immediately.
At a glance, he saw his senior brother Wu Xuechan looking at him with a smile.
At this point, Chen Xi completely calmed down.
"Nonsense! What kind of decency is it to make a noise in front of distinguished guests?"
Chen Lingkong frowned, scolded the Chen clan members, turned his head, smiled at Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan and said, "I don't know etiquette, so don't worry about it. Please follow me to the clan welcome hall to talk about it. How do you do it?"
?”
Whether intentionally or not, he actually stopped asking Chen Xi's name.
Seeing this, Tang Xian and Wu Xuechan exchanged glances without leaving any trace, then nodded and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
