At this time, the Immortal Sword Sect had already occupied three continents, equivalent to one-fifth of the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
Meanwhile, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor had already passed the throne to Shi Yan and was now in seclusion, focusing on his cultivation.
Back then, Chen Tianwen also opened the Heavenly Dao with a single sword, and now the Xuan Tian Realm has become extremely suitable for cultivation. In the past, the Integration Stage was considered a great power, but now the Refinement Stage is also commonplace.
The cultivators of the Xuantian Realm all know that the prosperity of the Xuantian Realm today is all thanks to Chen Tianwen. Therefore, people from all over the world spontaneously build ancestral temples for Chen Tianwen and offer sacrifices on time.
As soon as Chen Tianwen returned to the Xuan Tian Realm, an overwhelming force of faith converged upon him.
Chen Tianwen was overjoyed. With this power of faith, he could greatly assist in comprehending the Five Elements Law.
Within the forbidden area of the Immortal Sword Sect!
This is a forbidden area specially built by Xia Anyu for Chen Xiaogu and Chen Yumeng, exclusively for their cultivation. No one may disturb them without Chen Xiaogu's permission.
The area outside the forbidden zone was covered with arrays to protect Chen Xiaogu and Chen Yumeng.
Standing outside the forbidden area, Chen Tianwen's legs trembled slightly with excitement.
The saying goes, "Entering one's hometown makes one more timid," and Chen Tianwen felt exactly that way at this moment.
Although he had thought countless times about what he should do after returning to the Xuan Tian Realm, Chen Tianwen became somewhat excited when he actually stood outside the forbidden area, only inches away from his father and sister.
Chen Tianwen took a deep breath. The array outside the forbidden area could not stop him. He strolled into the forbidden area.
Inside the forbidden area, Chen Yumeng was sparring with Xia Anyu. Chen Yumeng had already reached the Integration Realm, although there was still a gap between her and Xia Anyu's Tribulation Transcending Realm. However, Xia Anyu usually suppressed his realm and guided Chen Yumeng in her cultivation.
As Chen Tianwen watched the two continuously unleash their sword techniques, he realized that Chen Yumeng had actually mastered the Spring and Autumn Sword Intent. Chen Tianwen naturally knew that this was definitely Xia Anyu's doing.
Chen Tianwen's gaze also fell on Xia Anyu. Xia Anyu was still dressed the same, but due to her improved cultivation level and her position as the sect leader of the Immortal Sword Sect, the number one holy sect in the Xuan Tian Realm, she had acquired the aura of a superior.
At this moment, Xia Anyu gave people the feeling of an empress who was untouched by worldly affairs. Although she was still extremely beautiful, she did not inspire any sense of desecration.
Xia Anyu only showed a slight smile when facing Chen Yumeng.
Xia Anyu spent most of her time in seclusion cultivating, hoping to ascend to the Xuanxian Realm as soon as possible and reunite with Chen Tianwen.
Seeing that Xia Anyu had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage in such a short time, Chen Tianwen knew that this girl must have suffered a lot in the past few years, otherwise her strength would not have progressed so rapidly.
Thinking of this, Chen Tianwen's heart stirred slightly, and looking at Xia Anyu's beautiful face, he felt a pang of heartache.
"Little sister, you have mastered the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique. Tomorrow you can begin practicing the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique!"
Xia Anyu and Chen Yumeng also stopped their sparring. Xia Anyu said to Chen Yumeng with a doting expression, thinking to herself, "Tianwen, I will take good care of my father and little sister. You must also take good care of Qingyue in the Xuanxian Realm and take good care of yourself!"
Chen Yumeng smiled mischievously at Xia Anyu:
"This is all thanks to my sister-in-law. When I see my brother, I will definitely tell him and let him reward my sister-in-law properly."
Xia Anyu's noble demeanor softened under Chen Yumeng's teasing, and she symbolically slapped Chen Yumeng on the back, saying:
"The little girl has gone astray again, even daring to flirt with her sister-in-law."
The two women kept teasing each other, their silvery laughter rising and falling.
Chen Tianwen looked at the two of them with relief, tears welling up in his eyes. This must be what home feels like.
Chen Tianwen slowly walked towards the two of them and said:
"Well said, he should be rewarded handsomely."
Chen Tianwen's sudden words startled the two women, as the forbidden area was heavily fortified and they hadn't noticed his arrival at all.
Who is it?
Chen Yumeng looked at Chen Tianwen warily, because Chen Tianwen had experienced too much in the Xuanxian Realm, and both his appearance and temperament had changed. Chen Yumeng did not recognize Chen Tianwen for a moment.
Xia Anyu looked at Chen Tianwen in surprise, her expression changing from confusion to astonishment, then to joy. Finally, Xia Anyu couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Chen Tianwen's arms, crying.
Chen Tianwen gently patted Xia Anyu's back, comforting her. No matter what form he took, Xia Anyu would always recognize him at a glance, which was also a manifestation of Xia Anyu's endless love for Chen Tianwen.
Chen Yumeng also realized what was happening and stared blankly at Chen Tianwen.
Chen Tianwen gently kissed Xia Anyu's forehead. Only then did Xia Anyu realize that her sister-in-law was still there. She felt embarrassed to have been in Chen Tianwen's arms, so she quickly left his embrace, her face flushed.
Chen Tianwen took Xia Anyu's hand and said to Chen Yumeng:
"What? You don't even recognize your brother anymore? But you've grown quite a bit taller and even more beautiful, little girl..."
As Chen Tianwen looked Chen Yumeng up and down, showering her with compliments, Chen Yumeng, just like Xia Anyu, threw herself into Chen Tianwen's arms and burst into tears.
Helpless, Chen Tianwen let go of Xia Anyu's hand and began to comfort Chen Yumeng.
"An Yu, Yu Meng. Who has come to the forbidden area?"
Hearing the commotion outside, Chen Xiaogu came out and saw Chen Yumeng throwing herself into Chen Tianwen's arms, while Xia Anyu stood beside Chen Tianwen with a flushed face.
Upon seeing his father, Chen Tianwen released his hand from comforting Chen Yumeng, walked to Chen Xiaogu, knelt down, and kowtowed three times deeply.
"Father, Tianwen has returned!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Chen Xiaogu trembled as he helped Chen Tianwen up, looking him over and repeatedly saying:
"Wen'er, is it really you? Yes, yes, yes!"
"It's me, Wen'er has come back to see you."
Chen Tianwen also excitedly grasped Chen Xiaogu's hand. Even with Chen Tianwen's temperament, he couldn't help but shed tears in front of his father.
Chen Xiaogu smiled and wiped away Chen Tianwen's tears, then said:
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back..."
...
Chen Tianwen, with Xia Anyu in tow, moved towards the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace and spent two days reuniting with his family at the Immortal Sword Sect.
Chen Tianwen had already arranged to meet Shi Yan and Ao Huang at the Daming Imperial Palace, after which Chen Tianwen should also leave the Xuantian Realm.
Since Chen Tianwen returned, Xia Anyu has stayed by his side without leaving for a moment, as if she is afraid of not seeing him even once!
