Good heavens!
What was the family head doing?
A mighty Great Sage Realm cultivator, the current leader of the Longevity Imperial Clan, was bowing so deeply to a boy who looked barely eighteen?
He had even called him "Ancestor"?
This book was first published across the web by
The Purple-Clad Elder was one thing, but that green-robed boy was plainly young!
Judging by his looks, he could not even be twenty. The aura he gave off was only at the Transcendent Realm!
What kind of ancestor was that?
But doubts were doubts. After Chen Lingfeng gave the order, not a single Chen Family Member present dared hesitate.
They all bowed together. Tens of thousands of voices surged into a single torrent, rumbling above Purple Sun Peak.
"Welcome out of seclusion, Ancestors!"
Their voices shook the heavens, and the mountains trembled.
Only after paying their respects did everyone cautiously raise their heads. Their gazes converged on the green-robed figure.
Many young women of the Chen Family could not help stealing a few more glances. Heavens, isn't this ancestor a little too young? And... he's so handsome!
He was clearly just a boy, yet his eyes held a depth that seemed to see through everything. Though his aura was only at the Transcendent Realm, standing there, he gave them the illusion that they were gazing up at the vast sky.
"Such a young ancestor... Ancestor Changqing, Changqing..."
Among the crowd, a white-haired old man frowned and murmured to himself.
He searched through his memories. Suddenly, his pupils contracted, and he blurted out, "Wait... Changqing? Could it be... could it be that legend?"
"What legend?"
The younger Chen Family Members around him turned to look.
"Yes! It must be him! It must be!"
The old man's voice shook violently with excitement. "The Chen Family's ancestral records mention him... A million years ago, there was an Evergreen Divine Son who swept aside every peer and possessed the Chaos Body, one of a kind through all ages!"
Those words fell.
They struck the crowd like a boulder hurled into a still lake.
"What? The Evergreen Divine Son? The one recorded in the clan history who fought a Primordial Remnant with his bare hands at eleven, then crushed three thousand prodigies with a single palm at thirteen?"
"The one who slew the holy sons and daughters of a hundred races at fifteen, until every prodigy among them fell silent?"
At that moment, many finally remembered the legendary figure in their ancestral records—the Evergreen Divine Son.
He was also the Chen Family's only Divine Son in a million years.
Because of the Evergreen Divine Son, the Chen Family had never appointed another Divine Son.
A million years was such a long time that many had taken him for nothing more than a legend.
Who would have thought they would actually see this ancestor from a million years ago today?
"Hiss—"
"Then was that earth-shaking phenomenon just now caused by this ancestor breaking free of the Divine Source?"
One stone stirred a thousand waves.
More and more Chen Family Members realized what was happening, and more and more gazes fixed on the green-robed figure.
Shock, awe, wild joy, disbelief...
Every emotion spread through the crowd like a rising tide.
That monstrous talent with the Chaos Body, known only from clan histories and legends, whom generations of ancestors had regarded as the Chen Family's greatest prodigy of ancient times, truly existed!
And he had chosen to break free in this era!
With the recent appearance of the White Jade Capital, many ancient prodigies had already been awakened.
But seeing an ancestor from a million years ago standing before them still felt impossible.
An ancestor from a million years ago!
How many generations separated them?
As the Chen Family Members buzzed with discussion,
Chen Lingfeng swept his blazing gaze over the crowd and declared with full authority, "As you can see, this is Ancestor Changqing, the Chen Family's only Divine Son, whose talent has remained unmatched through the ages!"
"And this—"
"Is the Chen Family's greatest hidden strength, our only Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator, Ancestor Haotian!"
"From this day forward, with these two ancestors here, the Chen Family shall stand once more at the summit of the Great Wilderness!"
His words sent
the entire crowd into an uproar!
They had already guessed Chen Changqing's identity.
But Chen Haotian, a Quasi-Emperor Realm ancestor, left every one of them stunned.
A Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator?
The Chen Family still had such a terrifying power hidden away?
It was simply unbelievable.
After a brief, deathly silence,
a roar like mountains shouting and seas surging erupted across Purple Sun Peak.
"Welcome, Ancestor Haotian! Welcome, Ancestor Changqing!"
This time, every Chen Family Member present bowed. Their voices joined into a torrent that made the mountains hum and soared straight into the nine heavens.
Every face blazed with uncontainable excitement and fervor. Many elderly Clan Elders trembled from head to toe, tears streaming down their cheeks.
A Quasi-Emperor!
That was a legendary Quasi-Emperor!
How many Quasi-Emperors were there in the entire Great Desolate Realm?
The Chen Family had stayed out of the world for a million years. The outside world had long forgotten the edge of this ancient imperial clan.
Yet who could have imagined that the Chen Family still concealed a supreme power capable of looking down upon the starry river?
And Ancestor Changqing—the monstrous talent with the Chaos Body who had swept aside every peer a million years ago, their only Divine Son—was just as legendary!
How could they not be thrilled? How could they not be fired up?
Faced with the crowd's fervor and excitement,
Ancestor Chen Haotian stepped forward. His eyes flashed like lightning as he slowly surveyed all of Purple Sun Peak, his gaze passing over each young, excited face.
A moment later,
a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Not bad."
His voice was not loud, yet it reached every person present with perfect clarity, carrying the commanding presence unique to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
"This generation of the Chen Family has produced some fine young talents."
At his words, the faces of many young Chen Family Members lit up with excitement.
To be praised by a Quasi-Emperor ancestor himself—what an honor that was!
But then Chen Haotian's tone changed abruptly.
"You little brats are quite lucky."
He glanced at Chen Changqing.
"Today, the Divine Son broke free of the Divine Source and gained an insight, comprehending a supreme Daoist art. He has come in person to expound the Dao to you!"
"Expound the Dao?"
A low stir immediately passed through the crowd.
Many of the younger descendants exchanged glances, their eyes full of curiosity and confusion.
Ancestor Changqing's deeds in the clan history were legendary, but those deeds belonged to a million years ago.
This ancestor had only just awakened, and his cultivation was merely at the Transcendent Realm—a little below even some of the prodigies present. What insights could he share?
Some of the older Chen Family Members said nothing, but their brows furrowed slightly. Plainly, they had the same doubts.
Chen Haotian saw every reaction but offered no explanation. He merely said, "Now clear your minds of distractions and listen well."
"This opportunity may determine whether you can break the laws of this world and attain immortality!"
Boom—
The entire crowd was stunned by those words.
Attain immortality?
A discourse on the Dao from the Divine Son?
