Chen Nianchuan Returns

Thinking of this, Chen Changxuan said with a sharp look in his eyes, "I will select some trustworthy clansmen to form an investigation department. If any Immortal Clan members are found to have overcharged, we will naturally arrange for their handling."

Chen Nianzhi was relieved. The Chen Clan held immense power in both the Vast Sea and the Chen Kingdom, so it was unlikely that anyone would dare to tamper with something as significant as the Abyssal Demon Calamity.

Having finalized the details of their participation in the war, Chen Nianzhi turned and asked, "How are the preparations for the Golden Rhinoceros Treasure Ship going?"

"We're still short 350,000 Tier 2 spirit trees."

Chen Changxuan shook his head and said with some helplessness.

More than a hundred years ago, after successfully forging the Scarlet Flood Dragon Treasure Ship, the Chen Clan began preparing to forge a second War Treasure Ship.

However, the amount of spirit wood required to forge the Treasure Ship was simply too great, and even with the Chen Clan's resources, it would be difficult to gather enough within this short period of time.

"It seems that relying solely on the Lineage's resources will not be enough to gather enough spirit wood."

Chen Nianzhi spoke calmly, then said, "Heavenly Lake Continent has also planted quite a few spirit trees. I'll write to Brother Zixu later; we should be able to gather the required amount."

"Then let's do it that way."

After the meeting ended, everyone gradually left, leaving only Chen Nianzhi and her Old Granduncle behind.

The Old Granduncle looked at Chen Nianzhi with a solemn expression and asked, "Nianchuan has been away from the Lineage for nearly three decades of training, and now there's been no news of him at all. Could something have happened to him?"

Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said thoughtfully, "I tried to calculate it using the Great Evolution Heavenly Art, but unfortunately, he seems to be obscured by some kind of aura, making it impossible for me to calculate his exact location."

"However, judging from the divination, he doesn't seem to be in any immediate danger."

"Sigh." The Old Granduncle breathed a sigh of relief, but still said with some worry, "The Abyssal Demon Calamity is imminent, it's a pity that Nianchuan hasn't returned yet, otherwise he could be of great help."

Chen Nianzhi remained silent, but Chen Nianchuan's continued absence was causing him some worry.

However, even he couldn't deduce Chen Nianchuan's situation, which probably involved a level at least at the Primordial Spirit stage, something he simply couldn't touch.

Stopping thinking about that, Chen Nianzhi asked again, "How is Uncle Qing Hao now? Is he able to break through to the Nascent Soul before the cataclysm?"

"His last attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul was seventy years ago; he should be able to do it again before the Abyssal Demon Calamity."

The Old Clan Leader couldn't help but show a solemn expression when Chen Qinghao was mentioned.

Chen Nianzhi broke through to the Nascent Soul realm at over four hundred years old, and now, in the blink of an eye, his lifespan has exceeded seven hundred and fifty years.

Chen Qinghao is more than thirty years older than Chen Nianzhi, and is now at the age of 780. His lifespan and Qi and Blood are no longer sufficient to support another breakthrough.

The only way forward is to give him the Longevity Pill so that he can attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage again.

Thinking of this, the Old Clan Leader said worriedly, "Qing Hao's foundation is insufficient. His first two breakthroughs both failed. Although this third one has improved me somewhat, I think even with the Nascent Soul Formation Pill and the Five-Vein Nascent Soul Formation only has a 40-50% chance of success."

Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's expression also became somewhat solemn. After a moment's thought, he said, "There are still four Creation Azure Lotus Seed in the clan. Give him another one."

"Well, that's all we can do."

Chen Changxuan sighed slightly, feeling somewhat uneasy, worried that Chen Qinghao would still fail to break through.

"..."

Meanwhile, in the Godfall Ancient Domain, deep in the Eastern Wasteland, a tall and upright man broke free of his shackles and stood before a cliff, covered in wounds.

This man was Chen Nianchuan. He wore a long black robe, had a fair and handsome face, and eyes as deep as an abyss.

You succeeded.

Just then, a faint voice came from behind.

The Godfall Ancestor stood there quietly, his pupils calm as still water, his voice as desolate and ancient as a primordial echo.

Chen Nianchuan turned around, silently looked at the Godfall Ancestor, and after a long silence, said, "Master, I should go."

"Go away, you don't belong here."

The Godfall Ancestor spoke calmly, then turned and said, "After the Demon Abyss opens, once the Demon God God's will invades and completely controls my Life Soul, you and I will be enemies."

When we meet again, there's no need to hold back!

Having said all he needed to say, he strode deeper into the main hall.

Chen Nianchuan watched his retreating figure quietly, standing there silently for a long time before finally turning away without saying a word.

After he left, the Godfall Ancestor sat upright in the main hall, a black aura slowly and irresistibly enveloping him, constantly eroding his soul.

He simply sat there silently, his expression calm and uttering no words, until a faint voice finally came from behind him.

"What can True Lord do? What can Dao Lord do? If you don't become an immortal or a demon, you're just an ant!"

"To take control of one's own destiny, one must become one of the Nine Heavens Immortals or Demons."

"Keep going, you will definitely go further than I have."

"..."

Time flies like a song, passing in the blink of an eye.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and several figures flew in from outside the Long River Holy Land.

The newcomers were Chen Nianzhi dao companion, Yan Ziji, Lingxu Fairy, and seven or eight other Nascent Soul True Lord, including Daoist Zixu.

Since the group lived relatively close by, they decided to travel together to attend the meeting of the Eastern Wasteland Immortal Alliance.

When they arrived outside the Long River Holy Land, they couldn't help but exchange a shocked glance.

Because at this moment, within the Long River Ancient Domain, countless incredibly powerful auras converged, like a Star River pressing down upon us.

One after another, these Nascent Soul Great Cultivator, each with a noble status, would be considered rulers on any continent, yet here they appeared as insignificant as stars in the sky.

After a brief sensing, Chen Nianzhi detected nearly two thousand Nascent Soul level auras.

Nearly two hundred powerful figures, even those at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, were present, along with over thirty peak figures at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm stage.

Most importantly, there were several incomparably dazzling auras, each as radiant as the sun, making the stars in the sky pale in comparison.

"The Eastern Wasteland Cultivation World is actually so magnificent?"

Chen Nianzhi looked shocked, even somewhat incredulous.

The Lingxu Fairy smiled and said, "I don't know the exact number of Nascent Soul True Lord in the Eastern Wilderness, but I imagine it's only around three or four thousand."

"But this time, no one dares to be negligent in the Abyssal Demon Calamity, so most of them have come here. It can be said to be a once-in-a-millennium golden age."

As they were talking, Huantian Ji walked out with a smile, looked at Chen Nianzhi and said, "You've come at the right time, the conference is about to begin."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with everyone, Huantian Ji led them to a courtyard and said, "These are fellow Daoists from the Three Vein Ancient Region. You may wait here for the meeting to begin."
