A Path Even Immortals Could Never Reach!

Chen Haotian murmured to himself, his voice carrying shock, relief, and a trace of awe even he had not noticed.

With a mere thought, Chen Changqing could grant a million years of life. It was hard to imagine how absurdly powerful he had become.

Behind him, Chen Yuanba and the other two were already staring in disbelief.

They knew Ancestor Changqing was powerful, that he commanded countless divine abilities, and that his talent was unmatched through the ages.

But they had never imagined he was this powerful.

"A million years added to their lives?"

Chen Yuanba opened his mouth, his eyes wide. It was simply unbelievable. "Does... does that still count as a cultivator? Isn't he an Immortal?"

Chen Musen took a deep breath. Though he said nothing, his face was just as full of shock.

After all, the Greater Divine Ability he had comprehended, Words Become Law, could accomplish many things beyond belief.

But to give someone a million years of life out of thin air?

That was a pipe dream. Utterly impossible!

He even had a strong intuition that forget a million years—even adding a single day would probably drain his mental strength in an instant.

Yet Chen Changqing had done it so casually, as though it were something too trivial to mention.

The gulf between them could already be called an impassable chasm.

"No wonder Ancestor Changqing is the Chen Family's Sole Divine Son. Even while sealed within Divine Source, no one could take his place!"

Chen Qingshuang gripped her sword tightly. Her awe of Chen Changqing deepened, and she began to feel grateful for her choice.

To follow a prodigy like him was unquestionably her good fortune.

And at that moment—

Chen Zhian and Qin Mengyao felt the change more keenly than anyone.

The instant that green light surged into their bodies, they felt a warm power wrap around every limb and bone.

Then their aging bodies and waning vitality sprang back to life, returning to their peak in an instant.

Their souls and bodies alike felt more at ease than ever before.

Chen Zhian looked down at his hands. His skin, once wrinkled with age, was now like a young man's.

He looked at Qin Mengyao. Her half-white hair had turned glossy black, and her face looked no different from when she was eighteen.

The marks time had left on them had vanished without a trace!

They exchanged a glance and saw the same incredulous shock in each other's eyes.

Then—

Chen Zhian and Qin Mengyao turned together toward Chen Changqing.

What had happened to their son for him to possess such an unbelievable power?

"Changqing..."

Qin Mengyao's voice trembled, her eyes brimming with tears. "You... you're awake... Mother finally gets to see you..."

She stepped forward and pulled Chen Changqing into a tight embrace.

It was as if she feared this was only a dream that would disappear the moment she let go.

Chen Zhian stood beside them. His lips moved as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, no words came.

He merely reached out and gave Chen Changqing's shoulder several firm pats, as if confirming that the son before him was real.

A father's love needed no words.

At that moment, Chen Changqing felt more at peace than ever before.

He had thought he would never see them again in this lifetime.

Thank goodness!

Everything was all right!

He was more grateful for this than for any divine ability he had ever comprehended.

Qin Mengyao held Chen Changqing and cried for a long while before her emotions gradually settled.

She let go and looked him up and down. The longer she looked, the redder her eyes grew, and her voice was full of heartache.

"You've lost weight... My son must have suffered so much sealed inside the Divine Source..."

Chen Changqing could only laugh.

He had slept soundly in the Divine Source. When he woke, his comprehension had nearly punched a hole through the heavens. If anyone had suffered, it certainly was not him.

But he did not argue. He simply stood there obediently and let his mother fuss over him.

Chen Haotian, however, could not help coughing. "That brat didn't suffer. We old fellows did. We waited a million years, until we were barely hanging on by a thread."

Only then did Qin Mengyao notice Chen Haotian beside them. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and drew Chen Zhian into a bow. "Greetings, Ancestor Haotian."

Chen Zhian cupped his hands as well. "Thank you, Ancestor, for granting us the Divine Source back then. Meng Yao and I are grateful—"

"That's enough."

Chen Haotian waved a hand impatiently. "Spare me the formalities. Changqing has done far more for the Chen Family than those two pieces of Divine Source I gave you ever did."

He pointed at Chen Zhian, his tone sour. "Just now, Changqing gave you a million years of life with a single sentence."

"A million years!"

"Wouldn't even a Great Emperor be green with envy?"

Chen Zhian and Qin Mengyao both froze.

When that power had surged into their bodies, they had known only that their bodies had recovered. They had not known what it was.

Only after hearing Chen Haotian did they realize that Chen Changqing had just added a million years to their lives.

"This... this..."

"A million years of life?"

"Changqing, that can't be true, can it?"

Chen Zhian stared wide-eyed at his son, his face full of shock. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

A million years of life was a number they had never dared dream of!

And their son had simply given it to them?

Who would have thought that when they met again after his sealing within the Divine Source, Chen Changqing would have grown this powerful?

Qin Mengyao covered her mouth in astonishment, her eyes full of shock and joy, but also a little heartache.

For her son to possess such heaven-defying power, he must have worked terribly hard and faced all manner of dangers, mustn't he?

Seeing his parents' stunned expressions, Chen Changqing nodded with a smile and explained, "Father, Mother, there's no need to be surprised... This is the Immortality Divine Ability I comprehended. It lets me command the life force of all things and live freely beneath heaven and earth..."

Chen Changqing soon told his parents about the Divine Ability Method.

The more Chen Zhian and Qin Mengyao heard, the more astonished they became. It seemed impossible.

Could this Divine Ability Method truly hold such power?

Even an Emperor Scripture, or an Immortal art, probably could not compare to the slightest fraction of it.

"Once my Dao Tree advances further, adding a million years to your lives will be nothing. Ten million, hundreds of millions, even living as long as heaven and earth won't be difficult."

"In short—"

"From now on, neither you nor any of the Chen Family Members will ever need to worry about how long you have left to live."

Chen Changqing spoke with a confident smile.

The entire tomb fell silent in an instant.

Chen Haotian's mouth twitched.

That brat really had no restraint when he spoke!

But—

Even Chen Haotian had to admit that what Chen Changqing said was probably true.

One day, everyone in the Chen Family might truly attain immortality!

From the moment Chen Changqing awoke, the Chen Family had set foot on a path even Immortals could never reach!
