“Tell your father and the others that there’s no need for this.”
Chen Tianwen's voice was calm; he naturally understood the purpose of the Shu family sending Shu Yiyao at this time.
He simply wanted to use Shu Yiyao to win her over and, incidentally, to keep an eye on him.
This kind of thing is common in large families.
But he didn't like it.
He's used to being alone.
Having one more person actually makes things a bit less free.
Moreover, Shu Yiyao was sent by her family.
A forced relationship will not be sweet.
He doesn't like to force things.
Hearing Chen Tianwen refuse.
A flicker of panic crossed Shu Yiyao's eyes. She bit her lower lip and said crisply, "It is Yiyao's honor to serve you, sir."
Hearing Shu Yiyao's firm voice.
A strange look appeared on Chen Tianwen's face: "They didn't force you to come?"
Upon hearing this, Shu Yiyao slowly shook her head, her face blushing even more, like a ripe apple.
"It was Yiyao who served you voluntarily; no one forced her."
Shu Yiyao said gently.
Even before entering the Purple Meteor Secret Realm, when Chen Tianwen killed Li Hao.
His image was etched in her heart.
The suggestion to serve Chen Tianwen was made by the clan elders.
But no one forced her.
She came willingly, going with the flow.
Seeing Shu Yiyao's insistence
Chen Tianwen didn't say anything and let her enter the room.
Fortunately, the room the Shu family provided for him was large enough.
There are several side halls.
Chen Tianwen then settled Shu Yiyao in one of the side halls.
Then he continued to practice the Reverse Fate Ascension Mantra.
Shu Yiyao had been hoping something would happen.
As it turned out, Chen Tianwen went straight to cultivate.
I felt a little disappointed.
Even so, she was already very satisfied.
The two continued to live together like this.
Time flies...
However, the aftershocks caused by Chen Tianwen grew stronger and stronger over time.
In the past few days, the entire Shu family has been mobilized.
Even the collateral branches of the family were summoned back.
Inside a secluded hall of the Shu family residence, almost all of the Shu family's descendants were gathered.
The direct descendants of the Shu family number less than one hundred.
There are slightly more collateral relatives, around a thousand people.
The position of head of the family is vacant.
Sitting below was the two-hundred-year-old patriarch of the Shu family.
On either side of the patriarch were Shu Yuntian and three other Nascent Soul cultivators, who were currently the most powerful members of the family and held extraordinary positions.
He is unable to handle family affairs simply because of the curse.
The other members of the Shu family also took their seats in the main hall according to their seniority.
"What happened? Why did you call everyone here?"
"I don't know. The elders only said it was a big deal, but they didn't tell us what it was."
"What major event could have happened? Could it be that our ancestor has passed away?"
"Are you blind? The ancestor is sitting right here on the stage."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Look at my mouth!"
The Shu family was abuzz with discussion.
Everyone looked at the patriarch on the stage with puzzled expressions.
The Shu family was small, and ordinary matters were usually decided by a few direct clan elders.
Such a large family meeting hasn't been held for hundreds of years.
"Ancestor, almost everyone has arrived."
Shu Yuntian looked around and found that almost everyone had arrived, so he leaned close to the old ancestor who was dozing and whispered something in his ear.
The old ancestor slowly opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in his cloudy eyes.
He nodded and slowly stood up from his seat.
"The reason for this family meeting is to announce some great news: we have found a genius who can fully comprehend the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Mantra. A hundred years from now, we may be able to completely resolve the Heavenly Curse!"
The old ancestor's aged voice echoed in the main hall.
The Shu family originally didn't want to tell the collateral branches about Chen Tianwen's matter, firstly because the relationship between the direct and collateral branches of the Shu family was distant.
Secondly, it was to prevent the information from being leaked, fearing that something might happen to Chen Tianwen.
However, at the patriarch's repeated insistence, they decided to disclose the news to the collateral branches.
The reason is simple.
At times like these, the Shu family needs to unite even more.
The priority should be resolving the divine curse.
...
The ancestor's voice slowly faded.
The entire hall fell silent.
Everyone wore a dreamlike expression.
"Really?"
Some people thought they were dreaming.
I pinched myself hard.
The crucial point is that he pinched the wrong person.
The person he was choking screamed, waking everyone up.
"Did the Ancestor just say that someone can comprehend the Incantation to Defy Fate and Become an Immortal?"
"Am I hallucinating? Is it really possible for someone to successfully comprehend the Great Perfection of the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Spell?"
"You heard me right, that's exactly what our ancestor said!"
The entire hall erupted in cheers.
Even the three Nascent Soul cultivators standing nearby had a glint of light in their eyes.
One of the Nascent Soul cultivators looked at the ancestor and asked in surprise, "Ancestor, when did this happen?"
They are under a curse and have been in seclusion ever since. This is the first time I've heard of this.
"It happened just a few days ago. The gentleman's surname is Chen, and he is currently in seclusion studying the second half of the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Mantra."
The patriarch of the Shu family answered from the side.
"Is there really any hope? Let's not let it end up like the last few times..." A hint of worry flashed in the man's eyes.
The Shu family had sought out experts to help them understand the secrets, but without exception, all attempts failed.
He worried that this time would be the same as the previous times.
"Don't worry," the Shu family patriarch said confidently, "That Mr. Chen only took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to comprehend the incantation. If he has no hope, then no one can master the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Incantation."
"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn!" A glint flashed in the eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Shu family.
This speed has surpassed that of all the geniuses in history who have comprehended the incantation to defy fate and become immortals.
As Shu Yuntian said.
If even this person cannot master the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Spell.
Forget about it, everyone else can forget about it.
"Then we must protect this great talent well!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Shu family spoke excitedly.
The Shu family patriarch nodded: "The purpose of this family meeting is to discuss this matter and gather the strength of the entire family to ensure that Mr. Chen can safely comprehend the Immortal Ascension Mantra."
Chen Tianwen is extremely important; he is the only ray of dawn to shine into the Shu family in the past ten thousand years.
This is a matter of great importance, and the Shu family intends to do everything in its power to ensure Chen Tianwen's safety.
The patriarch of the Shu family waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.
Then he said, "The main purpose of calling everyone here is to tell you that before that great talent fully comprehends the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality Mantra, we, the direct and collateral branches, must unite as one to protect Mr. Chen's safety."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
"I suggest we keep him confined in our Shu family ancestral land until he has fully comprehended the Reversal of Fate and Ascension to Immortality!"
Suddenly, someone spoke up, attracting the attention of all the Shu family members.
