Chen Kingdom Immortal Clans

The old man was excited. Looking at the figure in front of him, he said with great joy, "I have heard rumors recently that the Ji Chen Clan is going to hold Dao Lecture Assembly."

"Dao Lecture Assembly?"

The boy frowned, and asked hesitantly, "The Chen Clan? Which Chen Clan?"

"Within the Ji Continent, which Chen Clan dares to use the name of the Ji Continent?"

The old man stroked his long beard, then smiled and said, "You recently broke through to the Foundation Establishment and haven't left Heavenly Affinity Commandery in recent years. Today, I will explain to you the power structure of the Chen Kingdom."

"Please speak, Ancestor..."

The boy's expression brightened, and he couldn't help but listen intently.

The old cultivator smiled and said, "Our Chen Kingdom has been established for over a hundred years in the Immortal Realm, and Heavenly Ruins Province, where we are located, has been developed for nearly three hundred years, making it one of the most prosperous cultivation regions."

"Throughout the entire Chen Kingdom, there are hundreds of the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, dozens of the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan who dominate a prefecture, and in addition, there are five major Golden Core realm forces."

"The five great immortal clans are the Meng clan, the Wei Clan, the Xu Clan, the Liu Chuan Sect, and the Sikong Clan."

The old cultivator took a sip of tea and then said, "The Meng Immortal Clan is based in Heavenly Bear Mountain. There are three Golden Core True Person in the clan, and the Clan Master, Meng Xingwan, is a powerful Golden True Person in the Golden Core Middle Stage."

"The Wei Immortal Clan, occupying Green Hut Mountain, is slightly weaker, but still has two Golden Core True Person."

"The Sikong Clan is even more superior; it is said that they recently cultivated their third Golden Core realm cultivator."

"The Liu Chuan Sect occupies the Heavenly Boat Mountain Range. Although it only has two Golden Core realm, its Liu Chuan Sect leader is over eight hundred years old and his strength is at the late Golden Core stage. Unfortunately, his lifespan is coming to an end, and once he falls, the Liu Chuan Sect's strength will definitely be greatly reduced."

The old cultivator sighed, then said, "The Xu Clan family has existed for a thousand years, and was already Golden Core Immortal Clan hundreds of years ago."

"Currently, the Xu Clan has six Golden Core realm, and their ancestor Xu Ganyang, is a powerful expert at the Golden Core Eighth Layer. His strength is among the top in the Golden Core Immortal Clan of the Ji Continent."

The young cultivator listened quietly, a look of longing on his face.

His eyes shone brightly, and he said with a touch of longing, "One day, when the immortal race has been passed down for thousands of years and its power sweeps across millions of miles of mountains and rivers, what a magnificent sight that will be!"

"The Golden Core Immortal Clan is indeed powerful."

The old cultivator smiled, then shook his head and stroked his beard, saying, "But do you know that in the eyes of the true powerhouses of the Chen Kingdom, they are merely a few minor clans?"

The young man looked astonished and quickly grasped the old cultivator's hand, asking, "Non-Self Chen Kingdom has an even more powerful immortal race?"

"Of course!"

Seeing the shock on the young man's face, the old cultivator stroked his long beard with satisfaction. "Now that you have Foundation Establishment, it's time to tell you, so you know that there are always people more capable than you, and heavens beyond heavens."

"The true rulers of the cultivation Immortal Realm in my Chen Kingdom are not these five great immortal clans, but the Chen Immortal Clan."

"The Chen Clan..." The young man's brow twitched slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

The old cultivator nodded, and shakily poured himself a cup of tea, saying, "The Chen Immortal Clan is not only the ruler of the Chen Kingdom, but also the ruler of the Vast Sea Cultivation World."

"Its power spans two continents, its territory stretches across millions of miles of mountains and rivers, and it commands dozens of the Golden Core Immortal Clan. The Heavenly Affinity Commandery where you and I are located is merely the tip of the iceberg of its territory."

"Among the major Golden Core realm overlords of my Chen Kingdom, the Meng Immortal Clan has a long-standing marriage ties with the Chen Clan and enjoys considerable support from the Chen Clan's higher-ups. The Wei Immortal Clan was also supported by the Chen Clan family."

"Even the Xu Clan, the number one Golden Core Immortal Clan in the Chen Kingdom, is a vassal immortal clan of the Chen Immortal Clan."

The boy was utterly shocked upon hearing such profound words for the first time.

He hesitated for a long time, then swallowed hard and asked, "With dozens of the Golden Core Immortal Clan under their command and occupying a vast continent, just what kind of existence is this Chen Clan?"

The old cultivator's expression turned solemn. After a long pause, he said, "The Chen Clan is a peerless immortal clan that is renowned throughout the world. It is said that the Chen Immortal Clan has hundreds of thousands of immortal cultivators."

"There are countless Foundation Establishment Purple Mansion cultivators, and even dozens of Golden Core realm cultivators."

"But none of these are the key. What truly allows the Chen Immortal Clan to stand firm is the Nascent Soul True Lord."

"Nascent Soul True Lord?"

Although it was expected, this still sent a shiver down the boy's spine.

Although the young man had already Foundation Establishment, he was only in his early twenties, a novice cultivator.

Upon first encountering information about the Nascent Soul True Lord, he was deeply shocked. This was a realm only recorded in ancient scriptures, and he never imagined that he had actually heard of it.

The old cultivator also looked at the young cultivator with utmost respect and said, "Yes, the Chen Clan has three True Lord."

"Three!"

The boy's heart skipped a beat again, and he felt his goal becoming clearer and clearer.

Seeing his expression, the old cultivator smiled and once again uttered a startling statement, "Do you know that five hundred years ago, the Chen Immortal Clan, like my Lu Clan, was merely a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan?"

"Boom--"

The boy felt a chill run down his spine. He had assumed that the Chen Immortal Clan must be incredibly ancient, perhaps having been passed down for thousands or tens of thousands of years. He never expected it to be a newly emerging immortal clan that had risen step by step.

Five hundred years may seem like an incredibly long time for a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but it is an incredibly short time for a Nascent Soul Immortal Clan. This allowed him to see a clear path.

The old cultivator shook his head, then solemnly said, "The reason I summoned you back this time is because of a very important matter."

"Oh?"

The young cultivator's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "Is this the sermon you mentioned earlier?"

"That's right." The old cultivator nodded, his expression solemn. "I recently heard that the Clan Master of the Chen Immortal Clan, Returning Ruins True Lord, is going to give a sermon in Azure Lotus Isle."

"At that time, all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment in the world will be allowed to enter and listen in."

The old cultivator paused slightly at this point, then said, "The True Lord's sermon is of utmost importance; such fortuitous opportunity would likely draw all the high-level cultivators in the entire Ji Continent."

"Wen Yuan, you are the most talented person in the Lu Clan in hundreds of years. You must cherish this opportunity, as it may be your greatest fortuitous opportunity to rise to prominence."

Lu Wenyuan looked shocked, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ancestor, I will naturally seize such fortuitous opportunity."

Seeing that he was listening, the old cultivator began to recount his past, saying, "The farthest place I've ever been in my life is the Chu Kingdom Cultivation World."

"It is said that the Chen Immortal Clan rose to prominence in the State of Chu, and my Lu Clan's ancestor was once a Qi Refining rogue cultivator who followed the Chen Immortal Clan for hundreds of years. Back then, our ancestor even personally witnessed the Chen Clan Chief."

"Now, hundreds of years later, we, the younger generation, are still able to see the true face of the True Lord. We must be the envy of our Lu Clan ancestors."
