Chapter 209: Chapter 201: The Golden Era Begins! News of the Celestial Chosen Protagonist!
"Murder and arson bring gold belts, building bridges and roads leave no trace of bodies."
"The most primitive plunder is the quickest means to strengthen a family."
Chen Zhixing smiled and said.
"Indeed, the foundation of the Qing State Meng Family and Medicine King Valley, which has existed for thousands of years, has now completely changed hands overnight, adding at least fifty percent to our Ziwei Chen Family’s fortune."
Chen Daoyan nodded and smiled:
"Do you have any enemies outside? If not... why don’t you provoke some on purpose?"
Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but hold his forehead upon hearing this.
Has Grandpa got a taste and become addicted to murder and looting?
"Just joking. If we truly did that, it would easily make everyone feel threatened and push our Ziwei Chen Family to the opposite side of the entire cultivation realm."
They chatted for a bit longer, and then Chen Zhixing took a sip of tea and asked:
"Grandpa, you called me here early in the morning just to discuss this matter?"
"Oh. I almost forgot the main reason."
Chen Daoyan shook his head, then looked at Chen Zhixing and said solemnly:
"Zhixing, the grand competition of the East Xuanyu Domain is about to begin. What are your thoughts?"
"East Xuanyu Domain grand competition..." Chen Zhixing squinted his eyes.
The East Xuanyu Domain grand competition is the biggest event in the entire East Xuanyu Domain, bar none!
This grand competition is jointly organized by the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages.
Every sect and noble family, big or small, in the entire East Xuanyu Domain, can participate.
In past years, even primordial ancient races deep in the Tenthousand Great Mountains, and barbaric relic species, would emerge from the mountains to participate in this grand event.
In addition to the Demon Sect, Demon Faction, and Loose Cultivators.
It is no exaggeration to say.
This is an event that encompasses the entire East Xuanyu Domain!
Endless Tianjiao from various clans gather here, striving for supremacy in the mortal world, soaring to the sky!
Of course, participating in the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition is not without its requirements.
First, one must obtain the East Profound Order as a ticket to enter the competition!
There are a total of three hundred East Profound Orders.
Though it seems like a lot, in a region with tens of millions of human cultivators like the East Xuanyu Domain, it is pathetically few, like a drop in the bucket.
Therefore,
Often, before the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition begins, the entire domain is swept into a bloody storm.
Countless people fight fiercely for the East Profound Order, eager to participate in the competition and make a name for themselves!
If one walks around during this period, they will find the entire East Xuanyu Domain is engulfed in war flames, with battles breaking out everywhere!
Of course,
As the top force besides the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages, a former Longevity Family.
The Ziwei Chen Family naturally holds a spot in the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition, without having to fight fiercely for one token like others.
However,
Chen Zhixing doesn’t want to wade into these troubled waters this time.
Firstly, the quality of the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition has long changed; aside from the human race still going all out, the primordial ancient races, barbaric relic species, Demon Sect, and Demon Faction have long remained in seclusion, not exposing their Tianjiao to the public.
Secondly, this grand competition in the East Xuanyu Domain is divided into several battlefields based on age.
If Chen Zhixing participates in this competition, it would be in the Tianjiao battlefield for those under thirty.
Under thirty...
Chen Zhixing is confident that in this age group, he has no opponents.
"The clan currently lacks no resources, my participation in the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition holds no significance."
Chen Zhixing shook his head and said.
He’s not someone to show off.
He truly has no interest in such a meaningless grand competition.
"That is also true."
Chen Daoyan smiled and said:
"However, this time the East Xuanyu Domain grand competition is different from before; the long-quiet primordial ancient races, Demon Sect, and barbaric relic species will send their Tianjiao to participate."
"The strength of this event, I’m afraid, is the highest in hundreds of years."
"Oh? Why?" Chen Zhixing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
"Isn’t it because the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages are recruiting newcomers in the grand competition?"
Chen Daoyan smiled and said:
"The reasons the competition’s quality had decreased before, and many true strong ones didn’t attend was because the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages had closed the channel for new recruits in the competition."
"Now the Tao Lineages wish to reopen the gates for recruitment in the competition, naturally raising the stakes."
"Various clans that have been dormant for hundreds of years probably won’t miss this opportunity!"
Chen Zhixing nodded slightly and thoughtfully asked:
"What is there in the immortal Tao lineages that draws all the clans of the world so fervently?"
"There’s nothing inherently mystical..."
Chen Daoyan thought for a moment and pondered, "The reason people want to join the immortal Tao lineages isn’t that they have stronger resources than the outside, but the key point is ..."
After a pause,
Chen Daoyan changed the topic and asked, "Do you know what currently attracts cultivators the most in the East Xuanyu Domain?"
Chen Zhixing replied without hesitation, "Naturally, it’s achieving the Great Tao of Longevity."
"Exactly."
Chen Daoyan smiled slightly and said:
"Ever since the great change three thousand years ago, all Longevity Realm beings in the East Xuanyu Domain vanished overnight without a trace, leaving no Great Longevity in the world."
"In today’s world, it’s no longer possible to achieve the Great Longevity through personal power, and there’s only one place to seek the Longevity Realm..."
Before Chen Daoyan could finish.
Chen Zhixing’s eyes suddenly burst with brilliance, "Only the Immortal Tao Lineage?"
"That’s right!"
Chen Daoyan looked at Chen Zhixing with appreciation, nodded, and said, "The reason why the Immortal Tao Lineage can transcend all the forces of the East Profound Domain and stand aloof from the world is because, in the current era, only the Immortal Tao Lineage has beings in the Longevity Realm! Only the Immortal Tao Lineage can validate the Great Longevity!"
"To validate the Great Longevity, the only way is to enter the Immortal Tao Lineage!"
"Celestial Saint Palace, Daluo Taoist Lands, Immortal Ascension Divine Sect!"
"These Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages firmly control the entire Longevity Realm of the East Profound Domain! And the gate to advance towards the Longevity Realm!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixing’s eyes showed a glimmer of realization.
Validate the Tao of Longevity, live long and witness all.
From then on, decay with heaven and earth, with time never adding to one’s age!
For any cultivator, this is simply a deadly aphrodisiac!
No one can refuse this temptation!
Chen Zhixing knew without thinking.
The last time the Immortal Tao Lineage openly recruited disciples was a hundred years ago.
This time, after a hundred years, the Three Great Immortal Tao Lineages will once again open their doors through the East Profound Domain Grand Competition and recruit disciples.
This East Profound Domain, having accumulated for a hundred years, would probably see countless powerful figures striving with all their might to enter the Immortal Tao Lineage!
After all... it is the gateway to Longevity!
"The Struggle for Longevity..."
Chen Zhixing took a deep breath, a look of solemnity appearing on his face.
This is not an East Profound Domain Grand Competition, but clearly a battle for the opportunity of Longevity!
It’s likely... countless top-tier powerful figures will emerge to participate in this competition.
While pondering quietly, Chen Zhixing looked towards the mountains outside the hall.
"Is the Golden Era coming?"
Chen Zhixing muttered to himself.
"Zhi’er, I don’t force you about the competition. If you wish to participate, just let me know."
Chen Daoyan smiled, then seemed to think of something, and sighed:
"This time, competition might reveal how many powerful figures have been hidden throughout the East Profound Domain all along."
"Recently, the Dark Division has discovered no fewer than ten Nirvana Realm powerful figures suddenly emerging."
"It’s actually amusing. Within Huai State, there’s an aged mortal wealthy merchant, who in recent years has married over a hundred wives and concubines, having countless offspring."
"People laugh at the old man, saying that sooner or later he’ll die on a woman’s belly."
"Yet a few days ago, golden light suddenly burst from his room, the sound of the Great Tao resounding; it turns out he had unknowingly broken through to the Nirvana Realm."
Those who spoke had no intent, but those who listened were intentional.
Chen Daoyan spoke of it merely as a jest.
However, he did not notice Chen Zhixing’s mind shaking, the light in his eyes flickering constantly.
"Oh? Married over a hundred wives and concubines? Countless offspring?" Chen Zhixing narrowed his long, narrow eyes.
"Indeed."
Chen Daoyan laughed, "Don’t ridicule him; the old man is quite blessed. The wives and concubines he married are all beauties, even some are dignified daughters of Noble Families and sect’s Saintesses."
"Those women, not knowing what enchantment potion they were fed, insist on marrying the old man and remain utterly devoted to him, disregarding their cultivation, only willing to contentedly breed offspring for him."
"It’s very peculiar."
Chen Zhixing, upon hearing this, became more certain in his heart.
This old man is probably one of the nine Celestial Chosen Protagonists he’s searching for!
"Grandfather, do you know this person’s name?" Chen Zhixing asked.
"Name?"
Chen Daoyan was taken aback, shook his head, and said, "I don’t know about that. Why, Zhi’er do you have interest in this person?"
"A little." Chen Zhixing nodded.
"Sure. It’s a simple matter; I’ll have the Dark Division investigate it for you."
Chen Daoyan laughed.
"Yes, be careful not to alert him." Chen Zhixing, a bit uneasy, softly reminded.
"Rest assured. This small matter, the Dark Division can handle well." Chen Daoyan replied with a smile.
...
...
A moment later.
Chen Zhixing left the Patriarch’s Hall.
The sky was already noon, a blazing sun hung high in the sky.
"I must find a way to quickly complete the remaining three paths and step into the Nirvana Realm."
Chen Zhixing murmured to himself, feeling a sense of urgency surge in his heart.
The Golden Era will begin, the East Profound Domain will become a place where winds and clouds converge.
It’s feared that the other Celestial Chosen Protagonists will also appear one after another.
He must rapidly enhance his strength!
In the next moment.
Without any hesitation, Chen Zhixing stepped forward and headed to the Scripture Pavilion on the Fifth Peak.
Guarding the Scripture Pavilion was still Elder Mei, who remained relaxed and at ease.
Seeing Chen Zhixing approaching.
Originally lying on a bamboo chair, eyes half-closed and rocking his crossed legs, Elder Mei quickly stood up with a smile:
"Third Young Master, what brings you here so suddenly?"
Chen Zhixing looked at him and said calmly:
"Elder Mei, please compile all the cultivation techniques within the family and present them to me."
