Because of Ancestor Changqing, the Chen Family Would Be Invincible!

How many arrays had Chen Haotian seen in all his years?

Among them were peerless arrays of emperor rank!

Yet he had never heard of an array that could perform so many functions at once.

How was this still an array?

It was practically a miniature Heavenly Dao unto itself!

More absurdly, according to Chen Changqing, the array was fully automatic. It needed no one to control it.

A long while passed.

Chen Haotian finally recovered from his shock. He drew a sharp breath and fixed his eyes on Chen Changqing.

"You... you brat..."

"What in the world is inside that head of yours, for you to dream up something so wildly imaginative?"

As a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse, he understood better than anyone present what this Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net meant.

This was no mere defensive array.

It was something capable of changing the order and rules of the entire Great Desolate Realm!

With this array's help, the Chen Family would be all but unbeatable from now on!

How could the Chen Family fail to rise in this Golden Age?

How could they fail to subdue the myriad races across the heavens?

Chen Haotian took one deep breath, then another, but could not calm the shock in his heart.

He looked up at the colossal array slowly unfurling through the void. Every formation line flowed with mysteries he had never seen, and every node held principles of arrays beyond his understanding.

He had lived so long that he thought he had seen it all.

But since Chen Changqing had awakened from his million-year slumber, he had begun to feel like a bewildered youth who had only just stepped onto the path of cultivation.

"You little rascal..."

Chen Haotian withdrew his gaze and clapped Chen Changqing heavily on the shoulder. His weathered face was full of pride and wonder. "The surprises you bring me just keep getting bigger."

When he had sealed Chen Changqing away a million years ago, all he had wanted was for the boy with the Chaos Body to prove his Dao and become an emperor in the coming age of strife, leading the Chen Family to glory.

Who could have imagined that, once freed from the seal, the boy would take no ordinary path?

First, he had comprehended a Divine Ability Method that overturned the entire cultivation system. Then he had created this heaven-defying array, one that could transform the art of arrays across the Great Desolate Realm.

Whether it was the Divine Ability Method or the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net... these were things Chen Haotian could never have dreamed of.

"How did you come up with it?"

Chen Haotian could not help asking again, his voice full of disbelief.

Chen Changqing only smiled and offered no further explanation.

He could hardly say that his comprehension was just a tiny bit stronger, could he?

And just as shock churned through Ancestor Chen Haotian's heart like rivers overturning and seas roiling...

The final formation line of the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net quietly settled into the void.

Hum—

A faint note, like a spring breeze brushing across water, rippled outward from Purple Star in every direction.

Then...

A gentle, familiar voice sounded in the depths of every Chen Family member's soul.

"The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name..."

It was Ancestor Changqing's voice, delivering a sermon!

On Purple Sun Peak...

Chen Zhian and Qin Mengyao, who had been sparring with their divine abilities, stopped at the same time.

Husband and wife exchanged a glance and saw the same incredulous delight in each other's eyes.

"That's Changqing's voice!" Qin Mengyao exclaimed. "How can this be... He's nowhere nearby, yet I can hear him so clearly?"

Chen Zhian closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. The shock on his face deepened. "It's not just us. I'm afraid every Chen Family member is hearing this sermon right now."

He was right.

Deep within the Chen Clan Ancestral Land, the Supreme Elders who had been so uneasy moments before now sat cross-legged with their eyes shut, their faces rapt.

It was not only the older powerhouses. For the Chen Family's younger generation, it was like sweet rain after a long drought. Their minds felt utterly clear.

"Am I hearing things? Ancestor Changqing seems to be delivering a sermon!"

"He's not just 'seeming' to. It's real! I hear him too!"

"Wh-what is going on? The ancestor isn't anywhere near me, but it sounds as though he's speaking right beside my ear!"

For a time, the entire Chen Family was caught between delight and confusion.

They did not understand why the ancestor's sermon had suddenly appeared within their seas of consciousness.

But that did not stop them from drinking in the unexpected sermon as though starving for it.

Just then, the gentle voice sounded again.

"Members of the clan, there is no need to panic."

Through the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net, Chen Changqing's voice reached every Chen Family member in the Purple Star Domain.

"This is the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net, an array I built specifically for the Chen Family."

"From now on, it will cover the entire Purple Star Domain. Wherever you are, so long as you remain within the domain, you can listen to sermons and bathe in the Dao's resonance at any time."

"In addition, the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net can automatically refine artifacts, refine pills, craft talismans, and more..."

"Any clan member who wants to refine a personal jade talisman to connect to the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net can prepare the materials and take them to the Artifact Refining Pavilion. The talisman's quality will depend on the materials, but its core functions will be unaffected."

"The personal jade talisman offers storage, teleportation, communication, and other functions. Once you've refined one, you'll understand how to use it."

When the Chen Family members understood what the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net could do, their scalps tingled with shock.

Automatic artifact refining? Automatic pill refining? Automatic talisman crafting?

Storage? Teleportation? Communication?

Listening to sermons anywhere, at any time?

Heavens!

W-was this still an array?!

Ancestor Changqing's abilities were outrageous!

After a brief, stunned silence...

Cheers erupted across the Purple Star Domain like mountains roaring and seas surging.

"The Divine Son is invincible!"

"The ancestor is invincible!"

"The Chen Family... the Chen Family is going to sweep across this age!"

"Could even I have a chance to become an immortal?"

At that moment...

Cheers rang throughout the Chen Family without end.

On Purple Sun Peak...

Chen Yuanba threw back his head and laughed, his dark face blazing with fervor.

He grabbed Chen Musen by the sleeve, too excited to speak coherently. "Mu Sen, did you hear that? The ancestor made something called the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net! We'll be able to hear his sermons wherever we are!"

Chen Musen was left dizzy from the shaking. When he finally broke free, even his usually calm face showed a rare smile. "I heard. Of course I heard. The ancestor... he really is incredible!"

They had already experienced the power of the Divine Ability Method.

Now, with the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net on top of it, how could the Chen Family not soar?

"What are you standing around for?"

Chen Yuanba reacted first and bolted for the door. "Hurry and find materials to refine your jade talismans! If we're late, the Artifact Refining Pavilion will be packed!"

At that, Chen Musen and Chen Qingshuang came to their senses and followed without another word.

Meanwhile—

The older powerhouses could no longer sit still either. Disbelief was written across every face.

"Never seen in all the ages! Never seen in all the ages!"

A Clan Elder of great seniority sighed toward the heavens, tears glimmering in his clouded eyes.

"This old man has lived so long, yet I never imagined I would see the Chen Family possess such an array in my lifetime."

"Ancestor Changqing is truly a divine figure!"

"With the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net, how could the Chen Family fail to rise in this Golden Age?"

Another elder chimed in, his voice trembling with excitement he could not contain.

Cheers rose and fell in every corner of the Purple Star Domain.

Every Chen Family member's face shone with heartfelt joy and pride.

At that moment, everyone understood.

Because of Ancestor Changqing, the Chen Family truly was about to become invincible across the heavens!
