Background

The Chen Family is an ancient imperial clan based in the Purple Star Domain. A million years earlier, it sealed its sole Divine Son, Chen Changqing, within Divine Source until the Immortal Road reopened. The clan subsequently withdrew from the world and preserved its accumulated medicinal herbs, pills, and other precious resources for his eventual awakening rather than distributing them to later generations 1 3.

This decision caused long-term tension among younger members, particularly because the clan's resources remained inaccessible even as new prodigies emerged. Chen Yuanba regarded the policy as unfair after struggling to obtain even ancient Saint-grade medicine while the ancestral treasury remained reserved for Chen Changqing 9.

After Chen Changqing awakened, the family publicly reaffirmed him as its historic Evergreen Divine Son and recognized Chen Haotian as its strongest foundation. Chen Changqing's Divine Ability Method, the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net, and the distribution of tailored Emperor Scriptures transformed the clan's cultivation environment 8 33 34.

Leadership and Notable Members

• Chen Haotian — Old Ancestor and the clan's publicly known strongest foundation; a ninth-level peak Quasi-Emperor who announced the family's return to the Great Desolate Realm 8 36.
• Chen Lingfeng — Current Family Head; a peak Great Sage Realm cultivator who manages clan affairs and presided over the Sequence Ranking Battle 7.

Clan Structure and Customs

• The family maintains a strict ancestral hierarchy. Even Family Head Chen Lingfeng formally welcomed Chen Haotian and Chen Changqing as ancestors before the entire clan 7.
• Its once-in-a-century Sequence Ranking Battle determines the standing of the younger generation and the allocation of Holy Son resources 6 23.
• By ancestral rule, a Sequence Holy Son who becomes another person's follower forfeits Holy Son status and preferential resource allocation 23.
• The clan's principal gathering site is Purple Sun Peak, whose summit contains forty-nine protected arenas capable of enduring Great Sage Realm attacks 7.
• The Scripture Repository preserves cultivation, formation, and artifact-refining manuals accumulated across countless years; Chen Changqing later revised its techniques into Emperor Scriptures 29 34.

Cultivation Assets

Divine Ability Method

Chen Changqing introduced a cultivation path based on directly comprehending the source of the Great Dao rather than borrowing spiritual energy or the laws of heaven and earth. Its abilities can be used without true-essence consumption, but comprehension remains the principal barrier for most clan members 5 13 22.

• Chen Haotian comprehended the Void-Breaking Golden Flame Eye after Chen Changqing's sermon 16.
• Chen Yuanba, Chen Musen, and Chen Qingshuang each comprehended Greater Divine Abilities during the clan's Dao exposition 19 21 22.
• Even members unable to comprehend Divine Abilities benefited from the exposition through restored injuries, extended lifespans, and improved Dao insight 16.

Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net

A grand formation spanning the Purple Star Domain, created by Chen Changqing to provide continuous cultivation support to the clan 33.

• Transmits Dao expositions and Dao resonance to all Chen Family members within the domain.
• Connects through personal Link Jade Talismans refined by the Artifact Refining Pavilion.
• Automates artifact refinement, pill refinement, and talisman crafting.
• Supports communication, storage, teleportation, resource exchange, and sharing Dao insights 33 99.
• Was described by Chen Haotian as effectively a self-contained miniature Heavenly Dao rather than an ordinary formation 33.

Emperor Scriptures

Chen Changqing deduced every cultivation technique and spell in the Scripture Repository into a peak Emperor Rank version, then uploaded them to the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net 34.

• The revised scriptures derive from each user's original technique, reducing cultivation barriers.
• They are limited to peak Emperor Rank because Immortal Dao techniques exceed the current comprehension of ordinary clan members.
• The techniques can later transform into Immortal-grade arts when a user reaches the Great Emperor Realm and further deduces them 34.

Fortune

After Chen Changqing seized the accumulated fortune of the Dark Land and multiple divine dynasties, the Chen Family's fortune became the strongest in the Great Desolate Realm, reportedly accounting for nearly sixty percent of the world's fortune 110 111.

• Improves cultivation speed, comprehension efficiency, and the likelihood of obtaining opportunities.
• Enabled some members to break through bottlenecks or comprehend Divine Abilities unexpectedly 111.

History

Million-Year Seclusion

The family sealed Chen Changqing at the age of eighteen and retreated from public life while awaiting a more favorable era. For a million years, it gathered resources in secret and preserved them for his return 1 3.

The clan's isolation protected its bloodline but caused its overall strength to diminish relative to outside powers. In a previous timeline described by Xue Wuyou, the family emerged publicly but remained low-profile afterward, relying heavily on Chen Changqing alone 45 46.

Awakening of Chen Changqing

Chen Haotian led the family's leading elders to awaken Chen Changqing when the Immortal Road reopened. His awakening froze time and space across the ancestral land, immediately establishing the gulf between him and the current generation 2.

At the Sequence Ranking Battle, Chen Changqing defeated Chen Yuanba, Chen Musen, and Chen Qingshuang—three Saint Realm prodigies who had suppressed their cultivation to the Transcendent Realm—without using true essence or the laws of heaven and earth. The battle ended internal doubts over the resources reserved for him 11 13.

Internal Transformation

Chen Changqing expounded the Divine Ability Method to the clan, enabling its most gifted members to comprehend Divine Abilities and giving the wider membership substantial ancillary benefits 15 16.

He then created the Dao-Comprehension Heavenly Net and revised the family's accumulated techniques into Emperor Scriptures. The clan entered a period of intense cultivation, with members regularly breaking through bottlenecks and comprehending Lesser Divine Abilities 33 34 35.

Return to the World

Following its transformation, the Chen Family ended its million-year seclusion. Chen Haotian announced the return of the Longevity Imperial Clan by releasing his ninth-level peak Quasi-Emperor aura across the Great Desolate Realm 36.

The return alarmed established powers, ancient clans, divine dynasties, and former affiliated forces. Chen Family members were permitted to leave the Purple Star Domain to gain experience, while Chen Changqing departed to seek new Dao insights 37.

Expansion and Conflict

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion publicly submitted to the Chen Family after its Sky-Derivation Ancestor fell while attempting to divine the clan's secrets 61.

After the destruction of the Heavenly Feather Divine Dynasty, the Chen Family moved to take control of its territory and resources. Later, Chen Haotian ordered the clan to mobilize and absorb the territories of several annihilated immortal powers 75 100.

Following the defeat of the Dark Land, its surviving servants were subjugated as Chen Family servants and tasked with taking over resources from divine dynasties and immortal factions 112. The clan's takeover forces demonstrated combat ability far beyond their cultivation realms, alarming the Great Desolate Realm 112 113.
