Chen Xuan is framed by his elder brother and expelled from the family. According to clan rules, he must choose one wife and three concubines and head to the borderlands to expand the family line.
The Stone Clan naturally refused to agree to lend the One-Eyed Stone Man, a supreme artifact of the Great Dao.
"Then, how can you Stone Clan agree? Name your conditions."
Chen Xuan naturally couldn't just stop doing things because the other party disagreed.
As the saying goes, when you encounter a mountain, you open a road; when you encounter a river, you build a bridge.
Since the other party disagrees, we should find a way to get them to agree!
"We don't need any benefits. In short, what you're saying is impossible. Please leave!"
The Stone Clan remained adamant, refusing to lend anything.
Whoosh!
Without saying a word, Chen Xuan drew the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword and addressed the leading humanoid stone race being:
"Call out your ancestors; you have no right to make decisions."
Although this humanoid stone race being is a Great Emperor-level powerhouse, capable of presiding over matters large and small within the race.
However, matters involving the Supreme Dao Artifacts were clearly beyond his authority, and he was not qualified to make such a decision.
This is also why he firmly and unequivocally rejected Chen Xuan!
"You think you're worthy of our ancestors'... wait, what's that in your hand?"
"The Supreme Yin-Yang Sword of the Eastern Venerable?"
On the Stone Clan's side, they were just about to mock Chen Xuan for overestimating himself.
Their ancestors are all asleep in the Source of Longevity. They will only awaken from their slumber if the Stone Clan experiences a major crisis or if a Supreme Being comes to visit.
In their view, Chen Xuan was clearly not qualified.
Even if you include the Emperor of Fengdu, he still wouldn't qualify!
Unless the Lord of Mount Tai himself comes, it would be more likely.
But their mocking remarks stopped abruptly halfway through.
What did they see?
In Chen Xuan's hand was a black and white longsword, the black and white color scheme of which they were extremely familiar with.
It is Dong Zun's sword!
Above, it exudes the aura of the Yin-Yang Dao. They cannot be mistaken. In the entire Yin-Yang Realm, only the weapon forged by the Eastern Venerable possesses the power of both the ultimate Yin and the ultimate Yang Dao!
"How do you possess the Supreme Yin-Yang Sword?"
"What is your relationship with the Eastern Emperor?"
The creatures of the Stone Clan frowned and looked at Chen Xuan. The words they had originally intended to use to mock Chen Xuan stopped abruptly and were swallowed back down their throats.
After all, Dong Zun had a very special relationship with their Stone Clan, and could even be considered to have done them a great favor!
Therefore, the moment they saw the Supreme Yin Yang Sword, their attitudes changed considerably!
"The Eastern Emperor is my brother. I originally wanted to ask my brother to come to the Stone Clan to borrow the One-Eyed Stone Man."
"However, my brother is currently engaged in a philosophical discussion with the Lord of Mount Tai and does not have time for the time being."
"As for me, time is of the essence, so I had the Emperor of Fengdu bring me to the Stone Clan to borrow the One-Eyed Stone Man. I hope you will all give me face."
Chen Xuan spoke.
Upon hearing this, the humanoid stone creature immediately fell into deep thought. It had facial features, just like a human, but its body was sculpted from stone, giving it a very solid appearance.
"Logically speaking, the one-eyed stone man is our clan's most precious treasure, and we will not lend it to anyone!"
"However, the Eastern Venerable lineage has a very close relationship with my Stone Clan."
"Since you are the brother of the Eastern Emperor and possess the Yin-Yang Sword as proof, you must be the son of the Eastern Venerable."
"Since you are a member of the Eastern Venerable lineage, my Stone Clan cannot refuse you this favor!"
He directly mistook Chen Xuan for the younger brother of the Eastern Emperor and the son of the Eastern Venerable.
He was the kind of son who was sealed away and hidden away at a young age.
Many supreme beings do this: they seal away their sons or daughters, only to unseal them in future generations.
In each era, one son is unsealed.
The other party misunderstood his identity, but Chen Xuan didn't offer much explanation. If they misunderstood, so be it; not explaining would save him a lot of trouble.
If he insists on explaining, even if he's full and bored, that he's not the son of the Eastern Venerable, nor is he a blood brother of the Eastern Emperor, but merely a sworn brother.
If the Stone Clan hears this, they might not give them any face.
"May I ask your name?"
"The humanoid stone race creature inquired."
Before Chen Xuan could speak, the Emperor of Fengdu interrupted with a smile, saying, "His name is Dongfang Xuan."
The Emperor of Fengdu is an ancient monster who has lived for hundreds of millions of years. He is also a well-known old fox who can speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.
He was worried that Chen Xuan was too honest, so he took the initiative to reveal his real name as Chen Xuan.
The Stone Clan would definitely be curious.
Dong Zun's surname is Dongfang, so how come his son's surname is Chen?
So he simply gave Chen Xuan a fake name: Dongfang Xuan.
This can be seen as an admission that Chen Xuan is from the Eastern Venerable lineage.
The truth doesn't matter, as long as it's to one's own advantage.
"Dongfang Xuan, hmm, a good name. As expected of the Eastern Venerable, only a Supreme Being could come up with such a grand name."
The humanoid stone race creature sighed and gave Dong Zun a small compliment.
After hearing this, the Emperor of Fengdu couldn't help but laugh to himself. If this guy knew that the name Dongfang Xuan was not given by Dongzun, but was just something he, the Emperor of Fengdu, made up on the spot, would he still be so flattering?
Definitely not.
"Gentlemen, please come with me to see the Ancestor."
The humanoid stone race creature spoke, gesturing for the others to proceed, and explained, "By the way, my name is Shi Qian, and I am currently the patriarch of the Stone Race."
The Stone Clan has several Emperor-level powerhouses, and without a doubt, Shi Qian is the strongest, thus qualified to serve as the clan leader.
Ahead, a huge crack appeared, and one could vaguely see another cave within.
Chen Xuan didn't think much of it and went straight in, followed by the Emperor of Fengdu.
Actually, Chen Xuan originally thought it best to have the Emperor of Fengdu wait outside, just in case the Stone Clan tried something.
If we lure Chen Xuan into the forbidden area and then activate the killing formation left behind by the Supreme Being, Chen Xuan will be doomed, and the Great Emperor of Fengdu will also perish as a result.
However, it doesn't matter if Chen Xuan dies here, he can be resurrected by the law of immortality.
This is why he dared to step directly into the Stone Clan's forbidden zone. If it weren't for the Law of Immortality, he would definitely have been very cautious and wouldn't have entered the forbidden zone.
Unexpectedly, before he could even warn the Emperor of Fengdu, the Emperor himself had already followed him in.
It seems that the Emperor of Fengdu has great trust in the character of the Stone Clan.
It can only be said that the Stone Clan has a good reputation outside, and everyone knows that they are an upright clan that does not resort to tricks or conspiracies.
Buzz!
As the space rippled like water, they entered another space.
