"This guy is quite strong." Dugu Xiaoxuan glanced at Chen Nan. She had never noticed before that Chen Nan's aptitude and comprehension were so outstanding. In such a short time, he had actually reached the Heavenly Rank, and not just any ordinary Heavenly Rank, but comparable to the advanced Heavenly Rank.
It should be noted that Dugu Xiaoxuan herself was only at the level between the advanced and peak of the Heavenly Rank.
By now, she is no longer actually ahead of Chen Nan.
However, she was an ancient being, not only because her cultivation time was very long, but also because she received careful guidance from her parents, brothers and sisters from a young age, and had all kinds of resources. In comparison, the Chen family of the Heavenly Realm from which Chen Nan came was not weak. However, Dugu Xiaoxuan also knew very well that Chen Nan's father, Chen Zhan, had his memories and power sealed by the Chen family of the Heavenly Realm for some reason, was banished to the mortal world, and had his connection with the Chen family of the Heavenly Realm severed.
Therefore, Chen Nan did not actually receive any resources from the Chen family in the Heavenly Realm.
Moreover, Chen Nan died ten thousand years ago and was buried in the mausoleum. He was resurrected ten thousand years later and started cultivating from the third level. He had neither the protection of his parents nor the care of his older siblings. He rose to power entirely on his own.
This is extremely difficult, even more so than climbing to the heavens.
Finally, considering that inexplicable sense of familiarity, it was really hard not to make Dugu Xiaoxuan suspicious.
Could Chen Nan's past life be someone I know very well? Or perhaps, a descendant of the Heavenly Demon Elder or Little Defeat Brother?
Dugu Xiaoxuan pondered in her heart, unable to figure out Chen Nan's background, but she felt that Chen Nan must have had an extraordinary relationship with her in her previous life.
Cao Ya noticed Dugu Xiaoxuan observing Chen Nan's actions and smiled secretly.
He guessed that Dugu Xiaoxuan had followed him for a reason; she probably wanted to investigate Chen Nan's past life.
However, it is clear that Dugu Xiaobai has undergone several transformations and completely broken free from his past. Apart from Dugu Baitian and the Demon Lord, who clearly know about this matter, and a few others who have been informed by them, no one else can understand Chen Nan's past story, let alone connect it with Dugu Xiaobai.
Therefore, even if Chen Nan is the reincarnation of Dugu Xiaoxuan's younger brother, she can only feel familiarity, but cannot truly discover Chen Nan's origin.
Chen Nan was completely unaware of this.
After that, the group sought a place to cultivate diligently on the dark earth, occasionally entering Cao Ya's inner world for a stroll.
Dugu Xiaoxuan marveled at Cao Ya's vast and populous inner world.
"I'm afraid it might evolve into a true great world. Even if it doesn't, if you can attain the Heaven-Defying level, you could definitely evolve a complete world, which would be one of the Six Realms, almost a smaller version of it," Dugu Xiaoxuan exclaimed.
Her inner world is also no match for Cao Ya's.
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya smiled.
In the universe of [Divine Tomb], if one possesses extraordinary talent and abundant resources, one can create an inner world around the sixth rank. Of course, that is an extremely small, rudimentary form, capable of holding at most three to five people.
The subsequent evolution of the inner world, besides the impact brought about by the improvement of cultivation strength, also relies heavily on the world seed itself when opening up the inner world.
But Cao Ya's inner world is quite different.
[The Tomb of the Gods] Cao Ya's inner world is the same, but it is only a few hundred thousand square kilometers. The extra ten million square kilometers are due to the insights of other Cao Yas, their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the rules of the Great Dao.
These two approaches seem similar but are not the same.
The latter has a higher ceiling, which depends entirely on the individual's comprehension, while the former is limited by the perfection of the world seed.
Time flies, and several decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Cao Ya had been cultivating diligently and felt that he had touched the threshold of the advanced Heaven Rank and was about to cross it, but he always seemed to fall short of that final step.
Long Baobao was restless and often ran around. Occasionally, Chen Nan would follow him out if he felt a stirring in his heart. Dugu Xiaoxuan was determined to find out about Chen Nan's origins, so she would naturally follow him around. Therefore, sometimes, only Cao Ya was left in the cave inside the mountain, seemingly oblivious to everything else and cultivating.
Occasionally, a celestial-level expert would emerge from the chaos beyond the heavens and descend upon the dark earth to observe the situation.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan also discovered his old friend Tian Gui in the dark world and revived him. Within Tian Gui's Heavenly Rank ghost soul, the consciousness of his disciple Gu Si was still preserved. More than ten years later, Gu Si awoke from the depths of Tian Gui's soul, broke free, and condensed a body.
Upon meeting an old friend, Chen Nan was filled with emotion. He entered Cao Ya's inner world and enjoyed a drink in a restaurant.
Tian Gui and Gu Si were also astonished by Cao Ya's current cultivation level, the "Purple Thunder Sword Ancestor".
Cao Ya, in one of his incarnations, also drank and chatted with Tian Gui. He and Tian Gui had known each other before.
Later, Chen Nan found a wandering little girl in a bright realm within the chaos. She was actually the reincarnation of Chen Xi, and he, Long Baobao, and Dugu Xiaoxuan brought her back.
"This little girl is very special." Tian Gui, a Heavenly Rank expert, stared at Xiao Chenxi with surprise.
Although I already knew that Chen Nan had such a younger sister, I was always surprised every time we met.
"Her spiritual consciousness seems to be immortal?" Dugu Xiaoxuan observed, and was also surprised.
Xiao Chenxi's spirit is immortal and indestructible. Even if her physical body is destroyed, she will reappear in the world given enough time.
"elder sister."
Although Xiao Chenxi didn't know Dugu Xiaoxuan, she didn't sense any malice from her, and therefore felt somewhat close to her.
Dugu Xiaoxuan held the exquisitely beautiful Xiao Chenxi in her arms, teasing the little girl and making Xiao Chenxi laugh happily.
Cao Ya glanced at it, as if he had realized something.
Of all the people present, only he knew Xiao Chenxi's background.
This is an incarnation of an ancient human king, who sat on the same level as the heavens, attaining a heaven-defying level of power, and was incomparably strong.
Chen Nan's girlfriend from ten thousand years ago, Yu Xin, can be considered the reincarnation of the Human King's main soul.
Hmm, if I remember correctly, the women who have ties with Chen Nan are either the reincarnations of the Human King or the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens... And the Human King and the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens are both incredibly powerful female supernatural beings, the pinnacle of female existence throughout history... Of course, Chen Nan's previous incarnation, Dugu Xiaobai, was also incredibly powerful, no less so than the Human King and the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens...
Chen Nan is quite the ladies' man...
Cao Ya was secretly amazed.
Although he was well aware that these plans were not intended for Chen Nan to enjoy a life of ease—and indeed they were not—Chen Nan had suffered countless hardships and heartbreaks because of them.
This scheme serves three purposes: first, to resurrect the Human King and the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens; second, to allow Chen Nan to form a bond with their original forms in order to perfect the identity of the "Divine Tomb"; and third, to facilitate the resurrection of the heaven-defying beings from the ancient times, as only when both parents are heaven-defying beings can they perfectly bear the weight of those heaven-defying gods.
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor and other heaven-defying figures are different from the Human King and the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens. Due to differences in their innate backgrounds and races, their needs for the regeneration of their soul fragments are also somewhat different.
Even if a real fight broke out, the Heavenly Dragon Emperor and other great gods might not necessarily be able to defeat the Human King and the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens, who are human-born and heaven-defying beings.
Chen Nan's children were all reincarnations of ancient, heaven-defying beings, born from his and the incarnation of the Seven Absolute Heavenly Maidens.
