Qingyun, Tiansheng
Chen family is a very famous martial arts family in Tiansheng. According to their family tree, their Chen family has been around for more than 4,000 years, and their ancestor was a nobleman in the fairyland.
Of course, no one believes this kind of family tree except the Chen family, because family tree is a thing that everyone uses to flatter themselves. Many Qingyun families still say that they are descendants of immortals.
The current head of the Chen family is called Chen Nan. He is nearly 100 years old, but he still looks quite young. People who don’t know him would think he is only about 60 years old. Chen Nan is one of the few martial arts masters in Qingyun.
The Chen family passed down martial arts from generation to generation. The clan members practiced martial arts and were engaged in some professions such as bodyguards and soldiers. The family is not a chaebol, but it is not an ordinary person either.
On this day, Chen Nan summoned more than 30 direct descendants of the Chen family and took them to the secret room. He said to them, "Have you heard about the animals in the outside world hurting people?"
"Uncle, I heard about it. My former comrades-in-arms have been killing those animals frantically recently. Some of these beasts are very powerful, and as it is said on the Internet, these beasts have superpowers, and some can even spit fire."
"Uncle, I've heard about it too. I have a classmate who works in a research institute. They are working overtime like crazy. They have been studying the energy that appears in the bodies of those animals."
"Master, the security company I work for has also had similar things. Some employers have cleared out all the animals around them, including pets..."
"That's good to know. Now I'll tell you a secret. These animals are becoming demons. They are transforming into monsters, or they have already become monsters."
"Master, aren't the stories about monsters and immortals just legends?"
Some people questioned. There are too many legends about Qingyun in this regard. Can this be believed?
"Legend, haha, what if it's true?"
"Patriarch..."
"Listen to me, our Chen family has many strange skills after the skills passed down from our ancestors, you know?"
"Yes, those skills are impossible to practice, and it has cost countless heroes of our Chen family a lot of time, so the 26th generation head of the family burned all the skills in a fire."
"That's right, but my family left a book called Zuowang Sutra. Not long ago, I practiced according to the skills of Zuowang Sutra and succeeded. A special internal energy was born in my body, this internal energy is a hundred times purer and stronger than the internal energy we understand.
" "Ah..."
"Really?"
"Patriarch, this..."
When the few people heard what Chen Nan said, they were all shocked. It can be said that they were collectively dumbfounded. For a moment, they thought of many things.
"You are right. The legend is true, and the immortals are real. Our ancestors did not lie to us. I don't know what happened in this world, but now it is different from before. Similarly, this is also an opportunity for our Chen family to rise and become a truly top-tier family."
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
"First, I will teach you the content of the Zuwang Sutra. Second, go and collect this legendary technique. There must be a lot of collections in some families and museums. Collect them at all costs. We must be one step ahead..."
Chen Nan said. Their ancestors burned most of the techniques. After all, these techniques were really useless in those years. Instead, they caused their descendants to waste countless time here. But now is not the time to blame the ancestors, but to collect these things one step ahead.

In a private communication group on the dark web, a person nicknamed Wufeng posted dozens of photos and videos. Some of these photos were taken of those demonized animals, and some were images of some people. The most valuable one was a short video taken by a drone, in which someone stepped on a flying sword and flew on it.
"Wufeng, are these things authentic?"
"More real than the scriptures. Changes are happening in this world that we don't know about."
"Wufeng, I'm from Qingyun. My ancestors once left behind legends. They said that there are immortals in this world, but they disappeared, but they will definitely appear again at some point."
"Wufeng, I'm in Yingzhou. Some religions have emerged in the past ten years. Their missionaries have special abilities. They have a kind of paper talisman that can create a fire dragon. Science cannot explain it..."
"Wufeng..."
The communication group, which is usually deserted, is extremely lively at this time. Every group member looks at the content of the chat and falls into deep thought. They are the social elites and are better at thinking than ordinary people. They have discovered the abnormality of society.
"I'm going to announce a piece of news. There is a martial artist in Qingyun. Three days ago, he announced that he had discovered something important and would tell the story live in three days. Now, the time for his live broadcast has passed, and the martial artist has not appeared. He is suspected to be missing.
In addition, the Wudao Home website once included tens of thousands of martial arts techniques from all over the world, regardless of whether they can be practiced or not. But not long ago, the Wudao Home website was hacked and all the internal information on the website was forcibly deleted."
"The Wudao Home is very powerful. They should not be unable to hire a network security team. Could it be..."
"Time waits for me, I'm leaving first, everyone."
As soon as the news came out, the avatars of the chat group members quickly dimmed in groups, and the communication group fell into silence again.
········
"It turns out that so many things happened after we fell asleep, and now the world has become like this."
Cao Ying finished the three-day course. She recovered some of her strength. Like Lin Jiang, her cultivation reached the foundation-building stage, so she remembered the information with a glance of her consciousness. It took her three days to completely digest it.
"This is the world we have to face now, Xiaoying, I'm sorry for waking you up early."
"Uncle, you're saying sorry to me, don't you think of me as your own?"
"No, I just want to say that among all the sleeping immortals, your life span is the longest, so I woke you up,"
Lin Jiang said. According to his sleeping methods, Cao Ying and others have been sleeping for more than 40,000 years, and the actual life span consumed is only about 400 years.
But 400 years of life span is also a very large number for others, except Cao Ying. Before she fell asleep, she reached the level of Hedao cultivation and had a life span of 10,000 years. With the addition of the life-extending treasure, Cao Ying still has at least thousands of years of life span, which she can afford.
"I said, I don't blame you."
"Well, that's good. Now you can ask me questions and I will tell you the truth."
"Okay, how many immortal cultivators are left in Qingzhou?"
"One hundred and sixty-seven people. The lowest level of cultivation is Nascent Soul and the highest is Return to Void. The others woke up halfway and are now dead..."
Lin Jiang spoke slowly. He arranged for thousands of people to sleep, but now there are only one hundred and sixty-seven left. The others woke up halfway and are now dead. Lin Jiang also talked about the past. Xia Kingdom, the monsters, and the Immortal Kingdom said that he also had a high degree of trust in Cao Ying. Lin Jiang had long wanted to find someone to talk to. After all, keeping secrets is very uncomfortable.
"You have a bad taste, uncle."
"I've lived too long and I'm just bored."
"Okay, if I had known earlier, I would have woken up to accompany you."
"You're different from me, Xiaoying."
"Let's not talk about this. Let me ask you again, how many women have you had in all these years?
" "This..."
"Tell the truth."
"I can't count, maybe dozens, maybe hundreds."
Lin Jiang thought about it and said directly. He really couldn't count. His secretary group was almost his harem group, which had been passed down for many generations. Lin Jiang had also had examples of dating a young lady for half an hour. There were many.
Lin Jiang didn't want to hide this because he thought it was normal. He was a normal man with his own needs, and his habits told him that he was not a pure love warrior.
"Did you leave any offspring?"
"No."
"You're smart."
"Offspring are a torment for us, especially mortal offspring,"
Lin Jiang said. Watching his own son die without any reaction, how cruel that would be. Lin Jiang asked himself if he could do it.
"You are right. Then from now on, you are not allowed to look for other women. Can you promise me this?"
"Xiaoying, don't make trouble."
"I will take a step back. You are not allowed to bring women from outside home and you are not allowed to have illegitimate children."
Cao Ying said again. In her thinking habits, what she said just now was indeed a bit too much. In the era of cultivating immortals, as long as you have the ability, you can have many women, and similarly, women can also have many men.
In their view, the things between men and women are not a big deal at all. They are very normal needs.
"Okay, I promise you."
"The last question, our relationship should be established, right?"
"..."
Lin Jiang couldn't answer for a while. Ha, women, the spiritual energy is about to revive, can you have a little pattern and pay attention to the world instead of these emotional issues between men and women.
