The Ling family and his entourage were treated like distinguished guests in the Taoist Palace, but they did not talk about business for a long time.
This made Jiang Chen, who had originally planned to go to the Vampire Clan after finalizing the marriage, secretly anxious.
Especially the attitude shown by Taoyue, Jiang Chen vaguely realized that things would become very troublesome.
On this day, the Taoist Master of Zhengtian Dao summoned Jiang Chen and others.
Under the leadership of Duan Cheng, they came to the palace representing the core of Zhengtian Hall.
Unlike most splendid palaces, although the Zhengtian Palace is majestic, it does not have an overly luxurious atmosphere.
In fact, all the buildings in the Taoist Palace have a Taoist charm and are completely natural.
Entering it, you will see the elders standing on both sides.
These elders immediately focused their attention on Jiang Chen.
Obviously this young man has already attracted their attention.
I saw it with my own eyes today and wanted to see if it was really that magical.
Jiang Chen's appearance did not disappoint them. His deep eyes were hard to see through, and the smile lines hanging at the corners of his mouth were just like the rumors, giving people a friendly feeling.
However, rumors also say that Jiang Chen's behavior is all an illusion. Once he becomes fierce, he will definitely be at the level of a murderer.
"The ancient gods are here. We should have received them as soon as possible. However, we were delayed by some things. I hope you won't be offended."
A voice came from directly ahead.
Jiang Chen looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe.
Just the first glance made Jiang Chen realize that it was not simple.
"Heaven and earth are together, the Supreme God."
Feeling the other person's temperament, Jiang Chen deduced this person's strength.
"Dao Zun, please don't say that. It's because we are interrupting you rudely," Ling Moran said.
The middle-aged man in white robe is the Taoist master of Zhengtian Dao, and is called Zhengtian Dao Zun.
After finishing the nice polite words, it’s time to get down to business.
"Boy from the Ling family, come forward and let me have a look."
After a while, an old voice sounded.
Jiang Chen's eyes immediately fell on the speaker.
From before he entered the door, this man had been looking at him.
An old woman with gray hair and an old look smiled and waved to Jiang Chen.
When dealing with such an old man, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't care what he calls him.
He stepped forward and was informed by Duan Cheng of the old woman's identity.
"Ancestor of the Duan family, great elder of Zhengtian Dao."
The key point is the identity of the ancestor of the Duan family.
The Duan family is Taoyue's family.
Zhengtian Dao dominates this world, but he does not do it himself, but is managed by the Duan family.
Therefore, in the world of Zhengtian, the surname Duan symbolizes a very high status.
Even in remote areas, some people don't know Zhengtian Dao Palace at all, only the Duan family.
"Not bad, not bad. He is worthy of being the first person of the younger generation."
The ancestor of the Duan family was very satisfied with Jiang Chen and nodded frequently.
This reaction made Ling Moran and others happy.
As expected, the probability of the ancient gods' marriage proposal being successful is quite high.
"I'll go back and prepare in a while. Choose an auspicious day to come to my Duan family." The ancestor of the Duan family said again.
"yes."
Ling Moran responded immediately.
"Elder Duan, don't be so anxious."
Seeing that everything was going smoothly and the atmosphere was harmonious, an inappropriate voice sounded.
The speaker is also an elder of Zhengtian Dao.
"The other people who came to propose marriage have not even met yet, so they decided directly. It would seem that we, Zhengtian Dao, don't understand the rules." The elder said.
"Second Elder, do you think there is anyone more suitable than Ling Chen?"
The ancestor of the Duan family said displeased.
The second elder looked towards Jiang Chen.
He dared to raise objections in front of so many people, naturally because of his high status.
"Taoyue has the body of a god and is just waiting to reach the sky. By then, she may far surpass Jiang Chen."
"We should not just focus on the present, but also look to the future."
Having said this, he glanced at Jiang Chen and said, "Mr. Ling, what I say next is not intended to be directed at you."
It's definitely not a nice thing to say specifically.
Jiang Chen curled his lips, his eyes cold.
"Young Master Ling is extremely powerful. He defeated the Divine Ancestor of the Third Tribulation with one kick. At such a young age, he has surpassed your father."
"But behind such an improvement, are there some unknown factors, such as potential being squeezed out?"
The second elder has laid so much groundwork, and the last sentence is the key.
Exhausting a person's potential means reaching the end.
Of course there are rare treasures in the world that can help people break through their shackles and reach a higher level.
However, that is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
Ling Moran's reaction was even greater than Jiang Chen's this time.
To tell a young man that he has exhausted his potential, especially in such an environment, is extremely sinister.
"You came to such a conclusion without any basis. Are you looking down on me?"
Jiang Chen didn't react much, but his eyes immediately turned cold.
Everyone in the hall felt a sense of suffocation.
The second elder's face turned red from suppressing it.
Especially as Jiang Chen walked towards him, the sound of footsteps was like thunder roaring in his ears.
"It's terrible!"
The second elder's heart was beating wildly and he was terrified.
"Master Ling, don't be angry."
Dao Zhengtian, who was sitting high above, waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew through, relieving the pressure in the hall.
"Taoyue is not only important to me, Zhengtian Dao, but also to the Three Great Dao Traditions. It is not incomprehensible that the Second Elder is so concerned."
Zhengtian Dao Zun said: "I assure you, what he just said did not mean to specifically target you."
"Since Tao Zun said so, let's forget it."
Jiang Chen shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Since there is controversy, let's take a look at your potential, so as to silence others." The ancestor of the Duan family said to him.
The old man spoke as if he was on the same side as Jiang Chen, making it difficult for him to refuse.
"How to test?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Look at the limit of your divine power." The ancestor of the Duan family said.
"oh?"
Jiang Chen didn't quite understand yet, but Ling Moran spoke from the side: "I want to see what level of godhood you can withstand. Someone must have done it with care."
In terms of strength, it is difficult to find Jiang Chen's opponent.
As for potential, it's hard to say.
The godhead can be deprived of it, or it can be sacrificed voluntarily, which causes the hidden god forces to fight with each other.
Because of this characteristic, people can reach the sky in one step.
The powerful Hidden God forces have hundreds or even thousands of gods. They can directly select people with decent talents and make them into extremely terrifying beings.
For example, Jiang Chen would dare to join the Vampire Clan alone if several hidden god forces volunteered to collect thirty-six pieces of top-grade godhead for him.
However, no one would believe that he could condense thirty-six pieces of top-quality godhead.
Because there is a limit to the number of gods that each person can bear.
Some people, even if they master the twelve pieces of divine power, cannot become gods.
This is related to many aspects, but no one can explain the specific reasons clearly.
Jiang Chen knew why, but he was too lazy to say it.
