Neither Wu Xuechan nor Tang Xian gave a detailed explanation about the battle to protect the Dao, because it was still early and the things involved in this matter were too complicated, making it difficult to explain clearly at once.
However, Tang Xian told Chen Xi that he should still be fully prepared to participate in this battle to protect the Dao. Not surprisingly, almost 40% of the participants will be able to win one of the unparalleled opportunities and step into the path of the Dao Master in one fell swoop.
territory!
And this is also one of the important reasons why the Dao-protecting divine tribes are so actively involved in the battle to protect the Dao.
At that time, Tang Xian also broke through to the realm of Tao Master by participating in the battle to protect the Tao.
Knowing all this, Chen Xi was immediately tempted.
The realm of the Taoist!
It is known as the place of reaching the heavens in spiritual practice. From ancient times to the present, there are countless legendary figures who want to compete for this place, but in the end, only a handful of people can succeed.
The reason is that this realm involves the wonderful truth of fate, which is too obscure and taboo. If you are not careful, you will even be killed immediately and completely annihilated in the world, without exception!
To this day, even if we look at the entire ancient divine realm, those who can reach the realm of Tao Masters are almost all top-notch figures who shock the world. The dragons are extremely mysterious and terrifying.
It can be said that beings such as the Dao Master Realm have stood at the pinnacle of Taoism in the true sense. They are the top figures of the pyramid. They are high and possess unfathomable power. No matter where they are, they are the focus of attention and awe.
.
But precisely because this realm is too lofty, too obscure, and too difficult, it is by no means easy to reach this realm.
But now, when he heard that as long as he participated in the battle to protect the Dao, he would have great hope of winning a supreme opportunity to advance to the Dao Master realm, how could Chen Xi not be tempted?
It is true that Chen Xi only has the cultivation level of a five-star domain lord now. He is still four levels away from the realm of a nine-star domain lord. He is still far away from the realm of the Tao Lord and has a realm as big as the Great Chasm.
Don't forget, because of the many era brands, Chen Xi will no longer encounter any obstacles and obstacles when practicing in the Territory Lord Realm.
In other words, as long as Chen Xi refines those era brands one by one, his own cultivation will show a rising trend!
What's more, it is still five hundred years before the battle to protect the way begins. As long as no major accidents occur during this period, it will be enough for Chen Xi to cultivate himself to the level of the Lord of the Nine Stars Territory.
"The battle to protect the Dao... This is an opportunity that you absolutely cannot miss..."
Chen Xi took a deep breath and murmured in his heart.
…
The next morning.
Chen Xi had been waiting in the cave a long time ago with a calm expression, but his inner thoughts were erratic and it was difficult to calm down.
He had not experienced this feeling for many years. He was looking forward to it, but also nervous, excited, and worried about gains and losses.
According to the agreement, at noon today, Chen Taichong, the ancestor of the Chen family, will take Chen Xi to meet Chen Lingjun and his wife to reunite their family.
To Chen Xi, this naturally meant something extraordinary.
From a young and frail boy in his teens, to now a direct disciple of Shenyan Mountain who has gone through ups and downs, tempered by blood and fire.
From the small Songyan City in the beginning, to the ancient divine realm that is as vast as an eternal kingdom.
From a little ordinary person, to now his cultivation has reached the level of a domain lord, and he has become a well-known figure in the ancient divine domain.
...Only Chen Xi himself can understand the joy, anger, sorrow, and resentment along the way, as well as the dangers, hardships, twists, and ups and downs along the way.
And the fundamental reason that prompted him to do all this, to keep moving forward and not to let up, was to bring back his parents who had disappeared for many years and were missing!
If you can achieve what you want early, who would want to be so homeless?
But now, this goal is about to be achieved, and it won't even take long before he can meet his parents. Does this make Chen Xi feel calm at this moment?
The emotions and knots that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time had erupted like a volcano, spreading uncontrollably in his heart.
As time passed bit by bit, Chen Xi's expression became dazed and dazed, and he remembered too many past events and memories.
I thought of my deceased grandfather Chen Tianli, the dilapidated and simple house where I had lived since childhood, I thought of Zhang Dayong, the owner of Zhang's grocery store who took me in as Fu's apprentice, and I thought of the looks and injustice I had suffered since childhood.
, reminds me of the mocking and insulting nickname "Broom Star"...
The youthful years that belonged to Chen Xi at that time were like a brand that he would never forget.
It was also from that time that he began to embark on the path of spiritual practice, not for the sake of the great road, but just to find his parents!
…
There was silence in the cave. Both Wu Xuechan and Tang Xian were sitting quietly. They seemed to be aware of Chen Xi's state of mind at the moment and did not make any noise to disturb him.
Until noon, a confused voice sounded outside the cave, "Are you fellow Taoists from Shenyan Mountain here?"
Chen Taichong is finally here!
Suddenly, Chen Xi stood up and took a few deep breaths. However, he found that he was still unable to calm down the emotions in his heart and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"go quickly."
Wu Xuechan walked forward and patted Chen Xi on the shoulder.
"Um."
Chen Xi nodded and walked out of the cave.
"Little guy, you've been waiting for a long time."
Outside the cave, when Chen Taichong, who had a pale face, a calm and simple temperament, and a calm and clumsy look, saw Chen Xi's figure appear, he couldn't help but have a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"To be honest, it does feel like every day feels like a year."
Chen Xi shrugged.
"Haha, it's human nature."
Chen Taichong smiled, then turned around and led Chen Xi towards the distance.
…
The whole journey was silent, and soon, under the leadership of Chen Taichong, the two of them arrived in front of the Wenxin Hall.
Arriving at this time, Chen Taichong hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back. He broke the silence and said: "Chen Xi, do you really not think about it anymore? With your qualifications and abilities, as long as you join our Chen clan, it won't take long.
It is a supreme honor to be able to hold the position of clan leader."
There was already a hint of sincerity in the voice.
Chen Xi was just thinking about his own thoughts. Hearing this, he felt helpless. He never expected that the ancestor of the Chen family would not give up.
This made him smile bitterly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but my heart is not here and it is really difficult for me to obey my order."
Chen Taichong sighed: "You really don't think about it anymore? You don't have to make a decision now. As long as you give me an answer before the battle to protect the Dao begins, I will definitely keep this position of patriarch for you!"
Chen Xi shook his head: "There is no need to think about it, I have made up my mind."
Chen Taichong was stunned and silent, and his expression revealed a trace of disappointment that could not be concealed: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and there is nothing we can do about it. If you can agree, I will no longer have to worry about clan affairs, but it is a pity...
…”
He shook his head and sighed, said no more, put his hands behind his hands and walked towards the Hall of Asking the Heart.
Seeing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but hesitate for a moment and said: "Senior, although my heart is not here, if there is any mission in the future, I will not stand idly by."
Chen Taichong paused for a moment, then turned around suddenly, with a glint in his eyes, and said, "Are you serious about this?"
Chen Xi said: "There are absolutely no lies."
Chen Taichong suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he was extremely relieved and happy: "Okay, with your words, I have nothing to ask for anymore, please!"
"Senior, please go first."
Chen Xi cupped his hands.
At that moment, Chen Taichong led Chen Xi into the Questioning Heart Hall.
…
The wind is howling and snowflakes are flying.
In the empty and lonely world, there is a crystal clear, cold and clear sky.
Woo woo woo
In the wildly dancing wind and snow, a tall figure appeared, walking towards the distance.
His hair was as long as snow, tied into a bun at the back of his head, his face was handsome and resolute, and his black eyes were as deep as the abyss. He walked in the wind and snow, like a misty solitary tiger, searching for its home.
This is a mustard world.
According to what Chen Taichong said, Chen Lingjun and his wife had been imprisoned here since they returned to the clan.
However, although Chen Lingjun and his wife were regarded as sinners, they did not suffer any abuse or torture. They were just confined here and unable to contact the outside world.
This made Chen Xi secretly relieved, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what on earth did his father...do to be regarded as a sinner by the Chen family?
The wind and snow were rolling, and the sky was vast. Amid the sound of the wind as sharp as a knife, there was a faint sound of conversation.
"I feel restless today, playing the piano without any rhyme, and walking in the snow without feeling. It's really strange."
This is a soft and melodious female voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, and it brings with it a vague and ethereal and cold meaning.
Chen Xi's whole body froze, and his steps stopped there, unable to move another step.
His expression became excited, and there was a hint of trance in his eyes, recalling the scene when he first obtained the Star Cave from the jade pendant left by his mother.
At that time, a graceful figure appeared. She was dressed in white, with picturesque features, beautiful and elegant features, and her dark eyes were large and clear, with a hint of naughtiness and agility.
At that time, she had a smile on her lips, her voice was like the tinkling of spring water, lively and brisk, like a beautiful and cunning lively girl.
But Chen Xi knew that that was his biological mother Zuo Qiuxue!
That scene was more like a brand, which was stored deep in Chen Xi's heart and has never been forgotten.
Now, standing in the wind and snow, he heard a soft and ethereal female voice. Although it was different from the lively and lively voice of the past, Chen Xi suddenly judged that the voice in his memory and the voice at this time came from
the same person!
For a moment, Chen Xi's heart was filled with ups and downs, and thousands of emotions arose. He was so excited that he almost screamed out, but he was worried about surprising the other person, so he held it back forcefully.
He stood there, like a sculpture in the wind and snow, with a touch of tenderness from the heart on his handsome face.
In his eyes, the snowflakes all over the sky, the biting cold wind, and the lonely world seemed to suddenly become bright, warm and comfortable.
Finally, we have to meet...
ps: This chapter was really difficult to write. I deleted and revised it several times, which was really frustrating. Fortunately, I came up with a chapter that was quite satisfying. Although it was bland, it was really much more difficult to write than other plots!
