Heaven-Seizing Earth-Vein Creation Technique

"Fortunately, I had the talisman you gave me, which defeated and severely injured her. I only spared her life because I was momentarily soft-hearted."

At this point, she gritted her teeth and said, "I thought that with her oath, the secret would be kept, but I never imagined that she would rather break her Heart-Demon Blood Oath than let the message spread throughout the world."

"Gu Qingshu?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, and then she asked, "What is this person's background?"

"The direct descendants of the Ancient Clan of the Golden Core Immortal Clan in the Vast Sea," Chen Xianyan said, then added, "They possess a fourth-grade low-level spiritual mountain and a Golden Core early-stage cultivator."

"That makes things easier." Chen Nianzhi nodded and said calmly, "I'll go and execute him later."

Chen Xianyan shook her head and said, "This matter doesn't require your involvement. I will handle it myself from now on."

"Alright."

Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi also smiled. After this experience, her temperament had grown a lot. Breaking through to the Golden Core realm on her own and then killing Gu Qingshu was also a belief of hers.

Chen Xianyan paused for a moment, then said, "By the way, there's something I should tell you."

"Our Chen Clan were connected to the Chen Immortal Clan in the Vast Sea."

Chen Nianzhi's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of surprise.

Before he could ask, the ancient, Broken Cauldron flew out and calmly said, "Let me explain."

"This is a long story..."

As the Broken Cauldron recounts its story, an event originating a thousand years ago and taking place in the Vast Sea gradually unfolds.

As early as a thousand years ago, the Chen Immortal Clan, the overlords of the Vast Sea, was one of the top thirty Nascent Soul Clans in the Eastern Wilderness.

At that time, the Chen Immortal Clan was incredibly glorious, with seventeen or eighteen Nascent Soul True Lord alone. Their Clan Master, Qing Yin True Lord, had even guided the Earth Soul among the three souls, breaking through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm realm, becoming a top-tier Nascent Soul.

At that time, the Chen Clan spent thousands of years cultivating the water element Earth Vein of the Vast Sea, and even wanted to cultivate them into the third Water-Origin Ancestral Vein in the Eastern Wilderness.

In fact, they almost succeeded. Qing Yin True Lord was exceptionally talented and created the ' Heaven-Seizing Earth-Vein Creation Technique ' to seize the power of the Water Vein of the Vast Expanse Marshes and upgrade the Vast Sea into a true Tier 6 Water-Origin Ancestral Vein in one fell swoop.

If this succeeds, Qing Yin True Lord be able to rely on the Ancestral Vein to reflect the great power of creation and break through to the realm of Primordial Spirit Dao Lord in one fell swoop.

However, this step was a desperate gamble. Qing Yin True Lord wanted to seize the power of the Water Vein of the Vast Expanse Marshes, which Black Dragon True Lord naturally could not tolerate.

Therefore, before his breakthrough, Qing Yin True Lord had already foreseen that he would inevitably suffer a calamity, and that by overcoming it he would naturally become the supreme Pure Yang Dao Lord of this realm.

He might even have a chance to become an immortal thanks to the Heaven-Seizing and Pulse-Creating Technique he created, but if he fails, the Chen Clan will probably have to pay with their lives.

Therefore, before finally advancing to the Ancestral Vein, he sent out hundreds of elite disciples, dispersing them to various surrounding countries to hide.

In fact, Qing Yin True Lord ultimately failed. Black Dragon True Lord had lived for countless millennia and was one of the top ten strongest beings in this world. Perhaps he was not far from becoming an immortal.

This ancient True Dragon's wrath was so great that even the Human Race Dao Lord of the Eastern Wilderness couldn't stop it. Several Fifth-Tier Spirit Vein in the Vast Sea were all sunk, and the Chen Immortal Clan was wiped out overnight.

After the Chen Clan was destroyed, most of the scattered elite disciples were purged, and almost none of them survived.

In fact, by now, all those disciples who left back then have perished. Even if we trace back to the founding ancestor of the Qi Chen Clan eight hundred years ago, he was actually just a descendant of the disciples of the Chen Clan clan in the Vast Sea back then.

By that time, the Chen Clan had lost all its foundation, and apart from a trace of bloodline, it had almost no inheritance left in the Vast Sea of the Chen Clan.

By the time it came to Chen Nianzhi's generation, the bloodline was actually quite distant, but barring any unforeseen circumstances, she was one of the few remaining members of the Chen Clan family bloodline.

Mentioning the past glory of the Chen Clan, the Broken Cauldron sighed and said, "The Chen Clan has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years, migrating all the way from the Central Ancestral Domain. During its heyday, it was considered one of the top powers in the Eastern Wilderness."

"Unexpectedly, Heavenly Expanse Island has sunk into the Vast Sea, never to be reborn."

Chen Nianzhi's mind was in turmoil. After a long while, he asked, "Since Heavenly Expanse Island has sunk into the Vast Sea, is there any way to enter it and find the lost treasures?"

Jiang Linglong also showed a hint of excitement. Such a treasure from a top-tier immortal clan must be incredibly precious. Once they found it, their cultivation would probably be smooth sailing from now on.

However, the Broken Cauldron trembled slightly, and after a moment it said, "Back then Heavenly Expanse Island was struck by the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor and sank into the Vast Sea."

"The billions of living beings on that island, along with millions of cultivators, all perished, and their deaths have fueled endless resentment."

"In addition to the resentment of the severed Ancestral Vein and the nourishment of creation, it actually caused Qing Yin True Lord's Earth Soul to mutate, transforming into an existence that was neither human, ghost, nor god."

"Such an existence harbors resentment and murderous intent towards all things in heaven and earth. Releasing it will surely turn the Vast Sea into a deadly wasteland."

"Even if you enter it, you may still be attacked by Him."

"A mutated Earth Soul?"

Chen Nianzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. Among the three souls of a cultivator—Heaven, Earth, and Man— the Life Soul is the soul of the true self and the core of all consciousness.

The Heaven Soul wanders at the ends of the Nine Heavens, while the Earth Soul sinks into the Netherworld. As the cultivator's cultivation level increases, both of them will continuously draw upon the power of heaven and earth to grow stronger.

The Earth Soul draws upon the power of the Netherworld, inherently possessing an evil nature. If such a being were to absorb boundless resentment and the resentment and power of the nascent Ancestral Vein, no one knows what kind of bizarre being would be born.

Without the control of the Life Soul, Chen Nianzhi could even foresee that it would be mentally unstable and might commit boundless atrocities once it was born.

No wonder that after the Chen Clan was destroyed, none of the major immortal clans in the Eastern Wilderness coveted the Chen Clan's treasures.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi suppressed his desire to explore the ruins of Heavenly Expanse Island and could only say, "Our ancestor perished a thousand years ago and could not be reborn. He was transformed into a being that was neither human, nor ghost, nor god in a daze."

"If one day I have enough cultivation, I will also help him reincarnate."

The Broken Cauldron remained silent for a long time before nodding and saying, "You have the bloodline of the Chen Clan within you. With your talent and foundation, if you can forge Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, you might actually be able to slightly awaken some of His will."

"If you can awaken even a fraction of His will, perhaps you can retrieve some of the treasures from the island."

Broken Cauldron spoke frankly, telling Chen Nianzhi that Qing Yin True Lord had prepared some of his treasures to transfer to the Lineage's future foundation, including a wisp of Heavenly Dao Qi.

Unfortunately, due to interference from enemies, it was never sent out and sank into the Vast Sea along with Heavenly Expanse Island.

If Chen Nianzhi were to cultivate Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, then with the Chen Clan bloodline within him, he might be able to gain some affinity with the Earth Soul and allow him to take that heirloom.

This was not a wild guess by the Broken Cauldron, but rather the extraordinary skills of a high-level cultivator. For someone like True Lord Qing Yin, who had one foot in the Primordial Spirit realm, a wisp of remnant spirit could briefly dominate the will of the Earth Soul.

Just as Chen Xianyan was able to obtain the heirloom because a wisp of Spirit Void True Lord's lingering will was awakened by the Chen Clan bloodline within her.
