There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 66 Honorable Name
On the eastern horizon, a vast expanse of purple mist surged forth like a bursting dam, stretching for 30,000 miles!

Deep within the earth, a dragon roared to the heavens, and boundless spiritual energy burst forth from the earth's apertures, converging into a seven-colored torrent that swept across the eight wastelands!

The crimson clouds in the southern sky, like blood, burned away the last remnants of night!
In the far west, a chilling aura soared and shook the heavens!

On the shores of Beihai, towering, dark waves surge into the sky!
In the central sky, nine-colored auspicious clouds surged and boiled!
Auspicious energy condensed into real dragons and phoenixes, chasing and soaring in the sea of ​​clouds!
At this magnificent zenith, where heaven and earth revered and all paths celebrated, the imperial voice, carrying the will of heaven and earth, once again resounded throughout the four directions:

"From this day forward, a new era begins, namely—"

"Taiyuan!"

Taiyuan Immortal Emperor!

The four-character honorific title was imprinted in the void, causing the long river of purple energy to surge and roar, its sound shaking the universe!

Follow...

"As the old gives way to the new, we should remember the merits and reward the virtuous..."

"Now a great sage has emerged at the critical moment of collapse, breaking the nine tribulations that defied Heaven, turning the tide from ruin, and protecting the Daoist lineage from peril. His achievements are as illustrious as the sun and moon traversing the sky; his virtue is as majestic as Mount Kunlun that anchors the world; though his body is gone, his spirit shines eternally. I, on behalf of Heaven, hereby bestow upon him the title—"

"Hidden Star True Monarch!"

boom!
The imperial edict is as law as Heaven!
A dazzling golden light, condensed from the merits of heaven and earth, crashed down from the depths of the nine heavens, piercing through the starlight barrier of the Soul Cleansing Star Spring and pouring into the figure in the spring!

As the golden light entered his body, Chen Qing's physical form remained unchanged, but the nascent Dao seed in his Niwan Palace suddenly brightened, radiating a more stable and profound Dao charm!

A mysterious and profound "fortune," representing the orthodox recognition of the celestial dynasty, the favor of heaven and earth, and the protection of humanity, quietly entwined around it!

"This person will enjoy the incense offerings of the Celestial Dynasty for ten thousand generations, and a shrine will be erected in the Jade Capital for eternal worship!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a majestic and ancient Taoist temple appeared out of thin air on the west side of Yujing City, with the five ancient seal characters "Hidden Star True Lord Shrine" shining brightly on the plaque above the temple gate!
"All those who inherit the Dao lineage are protected by the fortune of the Immortal Dynasty! All those who are involved in cause and effect receive a trace of the favor of the Heavenly Dao!"

The last two sentences of the Taiyuan Immortal Emperor's edict were engraved into the laws of this world like a brand, and embedded in the long river of history!

In the darkness, all existences and futures related to "Chen Xu" and "Hidden Star" are shrouded in an invisible protective and guiding force!
"Appreciate this."

The clear sound gradually dissipated, and the strange phenomena in the sky receded like the tide, but the lingering sound echoed between heaven and earth for a long time.

A new emperor ascends the throne, and a new era begins.

A brand new era of immortal dynasties begins here.

On the earth, countless cultivators looked up at the sky, their hearts surging with emotion.

"Hidden Star True Lord? Directly bestowing a title of honor! Isn't that a bit too frivolous?"

"That was earned through risking one's life to serve the emperor and to save the world! He deserves such an imperial decree!"

"Moreover, I heard that this great hero almost perished, so naturally he should be given enough honors, otherwise, where will there be people willing to die for him in the future?"

Many people were surprised, yet also felt it was normal.

Lu Feng, Yin Lin'er, and the others looked up at the strange phenomenon and listened to the proclamation, feeling honored and hopeful.

The echoes of the imperial decree still reverberate between heaven and earth, while the ripples of history have transformed into a monstrous wave, sweeping across the world!
This world.

On the shore of the South China Sea lies Luoxing Gorge.

On the dark gold plate that had been repeatedly snatched up, the ten ancient seal characters "Bowing to Chen Xu, Starlight Illuminates the Beginning of Calamity" became completely stable and no longer changed. Instead, they radiated a dazzling light, tearing through the clouds and soaring straight into the sky!
"The divine object has changed!"

The nearby cultivators instantly turned red with rage, unleashing their magical powers and treasures at the contenders with reckless abandon, staining the blue waves with blood!
In the distance, even the powerful cultivators who were fighting and confronting each other couldn't help but turn their heads to look!
Xuanji Chess Academy, Wanxiang Hall.

"Om-"

The "All-Encompassing Star Chart" that was suspended above the altar began to tremble without warning!

Ancient runes representing different eras and forces on the disc surged and recombine like boiling water!
"What is this?" The white-haired elder guarding the altar beside him suddenly narrowed his eyes!
An ancient rune, buried deep within, emerged from the depths and transformed into two large, bold characters on the white jade plate.

"Hidden Star!"

The white-haired elder stared at the two words, his eyes filled with confusion and shock. Suddenly remembering something, he beckoned someone over: "A few days ago, someone gave a name, saying that he was a minor sect leader who might possess a Dao Body. What was that person's sect called again?"

In the South China Sea, the waves are as angry as ink.

A sudden vortex appeared out of nowhere, frantically tearing at the seawater and the sky, forming a huge, bottomless sea eye!

From the depths of the vortex, the faint sound of metal rubbing against metal could be heard.

Several sword lights came from all directions, penetrating deep into the sea eye, but after a few breaths they flew out in a panic, carrying undisguised fear, and disappeared into the distance.

An hour later, outside Falling Star Gorge, the monk Huichi, sitting cross-legged on a reef, took out a trembling shell talisman from his robes. He immersed his consciousness into it, and the message from the Star Luo Alliance flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness—

"An ancient sea eye has been discovered in the South China Sea. A cultivator brought out half of a broken stone tablet with the words 'Hidden Star' remaining on it. The elder of Sword Island deduced the secrets of heaven and realized that this matter involves a secret that has been dormant for tens of thousands of years. You should investigate it nearby."

"Hidden Star?" Hui Chi opened his eyes, the image of a Buddhist acquaintance he had met once in Xiaoyingzhou flashing through his mind.

"Sect Leader of Hidden Star Sect, Chen Qing... Hidden Star!"

He suddenly stood up. Beside him, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a water-infused robe and wearing a bamboo crown was breathing in the air with his eyes closed, his body surrounded by misty vapor that seemed to blend with the tide.

He is Xuanzhaozi, an elder of Cangming Island in the South China Sea. This time, he is traveling with Huichi to investigate the true nature of Xuyuan Fuli.

Sensing Huichi's unusual behavior, Genumashi opened his eyes and asked, "Monk, what's the rush?"

“A strange sea eye has appeared in the South China Sea…” Hui Chi did not hide anything and told the whole story. He concluded by saying, “This humble monk happens to know someone who calls himself the head of the Hidden Star Sect. This humble monk plans to pay him a visit.”

Xuanzhaozi took the talisman and glanced at it: "Since I have nothing else to do, I'll go with you and see who this person is, and observe their aura!"

"Very well, you are skilled in observing qi and can see the mysteries!" The monk Huichi spread his sleeves, and a thick Buddhist light enveloped the two of them, soaring into the sky and heading straight for the direction of Nanbin!
At the same time, relics and rare treasures appeared frequently in various parts of the world, stirring up a storm.

But these disturbances are temporarily irrelevant to Chen Qing.

The white mist surged and billowed, like a dream.

On the misty platform in his dream, he felt the lingering warmth on his body and recalled everything that had just happened, experiencing a kind of illusion that made it hard to distinguish between reality and illusion.

"Did Fellow Daoist Xu ultimately use divine...supernatural powers?"

In the spiritual spring of Mount Xuyuan, he vaguely emerged from his dream, and was not fully aware of the subsequent changes.

"Having suffered such a severe injury in the dream, even if the spiritual spring could save his life, the prognosis is probably not good."

He went to the center of the platform, opened the "Records of the Great Void Dao" and turned to the page about "Chen Xu".

The opening text remains the same as before.

But when Chen Qing's gaze shifted downwards, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Following the biography of Chen Xu, a surprising addition was made—

[Offering advice to pacify the people, listening to the Dao in Xuandu, comprehending the Dharma in the Treasure Pavilion, ascending to immortality at Yujing Temple, breaking the deadlock at Tianyantai, receiving an imperial decree from the new emperor, and being listed as a top-ranking member in the sect's register...]

Each ancient seal script, with its vigorous strokes, is no longer a general record, but rather an inscription of his dream experiences. The characters are bright yellow, exuding an ancient and profound historical atmosphere.

My gaze continued downwards, and a line of smaller text came into view—

[Commentary: He broke through the heaven-defying chasm, protecting the Daoist lineage from peril—his merit is immeasurable! Though his foundation was destroyed, his spiritual light remained undying. He received an imperial decree from the Human Emperor, his destiny extraordinary! With his own meager light, he shifted the tide of the Immortal Dynasty, his name etched in history, his fortune enduring. Truly, he is a hero born to save the world from collapse!]

The historian's pen, praising and criticizing throughout history!
Chen Qing took a deep breath, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and focused his gaze on the last page of the book.

There, four ancient seal characters shone brightly like the sun, exuding an overwhelming aura!

Hidden Star True Lord!

Four characters, illustrious!

"This is?"

With a thought, he lightly touched the four characters with his fingertips.

"Om-"

A torrent of thoughts transcended time and space, arriving with a thunderous roar!

"By imperial decree of the Supreme Immortal Emperor, he shall be granted the title of Grand Master of Ceremonies!"

In a daze, he seemed to see the strange phenomenon sweeping across the land!

Accompanying the imperial decree was the blessing of three true spirits—

Firstly, one is blessed with good fortune, receiving a touch of divine favor, turning misfortune into good luck, and opportunities naturally arise.
Secondly, the name of the revered person is believed to have a profound influence. All those associated with the name of the "Hidden Star True Lord" are said to receive the response of the Heavenly Dao and manifest themselves in the heart.
Thirdly, due to the karmic connection with the Taiyuan Immortal Emperor, one can trigger historical echoes and recreate power in corresponding locations.

"Hidden Star True Lord?! My cultivation level in my dream body is so high, yet it's given such a title! It's an exaggeration! If it weren't for the protection of the Immortal Dynasty's fortune, I'd probably have a shortened lifespan! Perhaps Immortal Emperor Xu added some personal feelings to it?"

In Chen Qing's opinion, if Xu Qingfeng were to look at it from his own perspective, he would not know that he was originally a second-generation Immortal Emperor. Instead, he would think that it was because Chen Qing broke the formation and gave him assistance that he was able to establish the great momentum!
"The name of the Taiyuan Immortal Emperor... the second ruler of the Immortal Dynasty?"

hum!
Just then, a faint yet clear sense of calling suddenly pierced his mind without warning!

This feeling is like being separated by a galaxy, as if a few lonely stars are scattered between heaven and earth, yet they tremble and resonate because of the same name!
"A spiritual response to reciting the name? This is the same as the spiritual connection through the name of a revered being?!"

Chen Qingxin was shocked and immediately realized what was happening. He subconsciously moved his finger away from the dark gold name on the paper!

The feeling of calling out abruptly ceased.

Chen Qing was taken aback.

The past events of the Immortal Dynasty surged up in an instant. The names of those powerful beings who had reached the heavens were the anchors of cause and effect. Even a casual mention of them would be perceived by them. With a single thought, they could observe the scene around the caller, making them truly impossible to guard against.

He contacted the Seventh Prince, Xu Qingfeng, precisely because of this.

But now, Chen Qing has become the one being recited and called upon!
"The rank of the Hidden Star True Monarch is probably inflated due to the legends of the Immortal Dynasty, which is why I received such extraordinary treatment!"

He pondered in his heart, yet could not suppress his desire to explore, and his fingertips fell again, lightly touching the four characters "Huanghuang"!
