Ordinary People: Starting with the Chen Clan

After the sound transmission talisman turned to ashes in his hand, Chen Xuanzhou thought for a moment and immediately thought of the name Liu Chuanzhi.

"How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator dare to target a Core Formation disciple, unless he himself has a Core Formation backer?"

Or rather, it was precisely because of this Core Formation backer that he turned against someone of the same level with whom he had no conflict of interest.

It seems I've once again shielded my master from disaster!

Chen Xuanzhou thought helplessly to himself that although he complained like this, he didn't actually harbor much resentment deep down.

Over the years, he had been using the other party's name to intimidate others, so he might as well consider this repayment of a debt.

He is now more worried about the other person's condition.

Such a blatant attack on the Chen family suggests that they might be trying to test the condition of his master.

Then he opened two more talismans, one of which was from the Third Elder, and what he said was similar to what his father had said.

He even subtly mentioned a few times that he should convey his regards to Ancestor Qiong and thank him for his care of the Chen family over the years, and so on.

Chen Xuanzhou couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of an old fellow who has lived for nearly a hundred years, his sense of smell is unmatched by ordinary people."

The last one is from Chen Xuannian. This chubby boy has some tricks up his sleeve and is now in charge of the Chen family's business.

Moreover, because he gave up the path of cultivation early on, he now manages to hold power in one hand and have a Daoist partner in the other.

Now that the Chen family has risen to power, the line of women wanting to marry into the Chen family stretches from the market of the Hidden Moon Sect all the way to the sect's gate.

Chen Xuannian, having Chen Xuanzhou's connection to him and being a powerful figure in the Chen family, naturally chose a Daoist partner who would be of high quality.

For the sake of the next generation, he even chose a principal wife with two spiritual roots and more than ten concubines with three spiritual roots.

Apart from the one with two spiritual roots, who was discovered by the Chen family from the mortal realm and brought back to the clan, the other fifteen concubines were all disciples of Qi Refining families.

So it was all about the information brought back from the major trade routes and the intricate network of relationships formed through marriage alliances with various beautiful wives.

In terms of his grasp of the latest news from the outside world, there might not be anyone in the entire Chen family who could match him.

However, there is still no news.

Chen Xuanzhou stroked a blood-red scimitar, thought for a moment, then took out several talismans from his storage bag and spoke to them for a while.

Just as it was about to be released, the spiritual energy within the entire cave suddenly became chaotic.

The Six Harmonies and Five Elements Spirit Gathering Array that Chen Xuanzhou had set up at great cost was as if it did not exist, and the spiritual water in the spiritual spring beside him was decreasing at a visible rate.

In just a short while, the entire spiritual spring turned into a pit, and even the spiritual lotus in the spring became listless.

This was just the beginning. An oppressive force from an unknown source pierced through the defenses of the Inverted Five Elements Formation, giving him no chance to react.

The spiritual pressure almost made him lose his balance, causing him to collapse to the ground.

Of course, the spiritual pressure was only a small part of the reason for his terrible condition; more importantly, the Blood Refining Divine Light within his body suddenly went berserk.

At this moment, his face turned red and then green, as if a dye vat had been opened.

Inside his body, things were even more chaotic than on his face. Soon after his magical power surged through his meridians, his blood and qi began to flow in reverse.

The only good news is that his clone has also cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, although he has only cultivated the first level due to the short time.

However, this also meant that his soul was no weaker than that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his soul was also condensed with the power of incense offerings. Therefore, he immediately used his divine sense to protect his main heart meridians and internal organs.

Fortunately, the oppressive aura outside did not last long; it disappeared without a trace after only a few moments.

While the clone was doing its best to suppress this sudden situation, thousands of miles away, the main body and the various cultivators on the Azure Jade Spirit Boat were gazing at the location of the Hidden Moon Sect.

To see more clearly, Chen Xuanzhou pushed his Three Pure Ones Spiritual Eyes to their limit, his eyes gleaming with a hidden purple light.

After about twenty breaths, Chen Xuanzhou had to stop his supernatural powers, and tears were streaming down his face.

So much so that he couldn't even open his eyes, and could only close them and slowly nurture them with his magic.

In just that short time, Chen Xuanzhou had already clearly seen the strange phenomena of the Hidden Moon Sect.

Now, throughout the entire Hidden Moon Sect, especially in the core mountain range, spiritual energy from heaven and earth is converging into vortexes, and the closer you get to the core, the more abundant they become.

With such a massive infusion of spiritual energy, aside from the Nascent Soul phenomenon, he couldn't think of any other technique that could rival it.

What's more, he had also found a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator, which contained the complete process of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

The celestial phenomena occurring within the Hidden Moon Sect are almost identical to those observed today. The question now is: who exactly has successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?

There were many people around the Hidden Moon Sect who shared the same question as Chen Xuanzhou.

Nascent Soul cultivators are already rare in the Yue Kingdom. Among the seven sects, apart from the Hidden Moon Sect and the Spirit Beast Mountain, the other sects each only have one Nascent Soul cultivator.

Now that the Hidden Moon Sect has gained another top-tier fighter, it is by no means a good thing for the other six sects in the Yue Kingdom.

In an instant, all sorts of sound transmission talismans scattered and flew around the market of the Hidden Moon Sect. And these were just the visible ones; the hidden sound transmission methods were countless.

At this moment, two figures were standing in mid-air within the Hidden Moon Sect, and the entire sect was enveloped by a huge spiritual energy shield.

One of them, though possessing the appearance of a beautiful fairy in her late twenties, still had a few undeniable wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

However, these lines did not obscure her beautiful appearance; instead, they added a touch of mature charm to her.

He held a token imprinted with the sun and moon in his hand, pouring all his magical power into it without reservation, just to activate the sect's protective formation to its fullest potential.

Beside her stood a woman with an icy demeanor, as cold as ancient ice.

"All disciples, listen to this order! No one is permitted to move within the sect, and especially not to approach within ten miles of the main peak. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

His words sent shivers down the spines of all the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect.

After saying this, he spoke in a slightly softer tone to the person beside him: "Elder, it seems that Junior Nephew Qiong has a pretty high chance of successfully breaking through this time."

Being able to draw upon such spiritual energy from heaven and earth, one is basically capable of breaking through the elixir to form an infant. Furthermore, being able to create one's own secret techniques suggests that one's willpower and perseverance have been honed to perfection.

The inner demon tribulation should be relatively easy for him...

When he said the last sentence, his tone somehow changed from calm and cold to a little hesitant.

"Let's hope so!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator, referred to as the Grand Elder, didn't say much, but looked at the center of the spiritual energy vortex with a slightly solemn expression.

"The thought that my lifespan is only about two Jiazi left, and that my nephew Qiong is the second Nascent Soul seed of the Hidden Moon Sect."

Originally, she was troubled by the problem of cultivation method, and she thought that in the last little bit of time, she would not see the successor of the sect break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Unexpectedly, fate truly allowed her, someone with one foot in the grave, to witness a new future for the sect!
