After Mo Wendao knelt and asked whether Chen Fan was the founding patriarch reincarnated, Chen Fan pretended to be an innocent child and clung to Chen Changqing.

• Chen Fan’s Dao Rhythm made the ancient bronze bell ring nine times, stripping away its rust and shaking the Azure Cloud Mountain Range.
