Chapter 137 Youzhou Chu Family

Northwest side of Qingyun Continent, central Youzhou, Shanyin City.

There are hundreds of households here, arranged in the eight directions of Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun, with houses of the same style extending outward in sequence.

In the very center, there is a large residential building.

The tower was of an ancient style, with bursts of fairy light whistling across it. All the people in the city, whether they were peddlers or vendors, had at least reached the Wei Zhao realm of cultivation.

The reason is simple, just because they all have the same surname.

Therefore, even if it is a branch of a branch of a collateral line, as long as the people have the same surname, they are qualified to receive spiritual enlightenment at home.

Going inward along the eight main city roads, there is an ancient and solemn towering manor with a plaque hanging on the door with the words "Chu Family" engraved on it. There is a river flowing around the garden, with the sound of gurgling water.

At this time, in the deepest part of the entire manor, in a dense bamboo forest.

Dozens of servants carried a huge iron box in, then rummaged around in the forest for a long time, and after a few clanging sounds, they carried the empty iron box out.

As they took steps forward, black smoke continued to rise in the forest and overflowed outward, floating in wisps, making everything in front of them blurry and unclear.

Chu Xiong, the current head of the Chu family, was standing outside the forest. His aura was majestic and surging. It was obvious that he had reached the Divine Wandering Realm and was only one step away from completing the fifth realm.

A realm like this can only be seen within the Immortal Sect.

If the noble families or immortal villages under the Immortal Sect can have one, they can already be considered top-tier.

After all, without the permission of the Taoist tradition, they cannot enter the realm of immortality, and the perfection of the upper five realms is the last realm of their life.

At this time, Chu Xiong turned his head slightly and looked at the old servant standing behind him: "Where is Chu Xian? Why haven't I seen him in the past few days?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the eldest son went to Yunzhou a few days ago and is currently on his way back to Youzhou. He will be there soon."

"He returned to Xuanyuan Immortal Palace?"

The old servant bowed and said, "The headmaster of Xuanyuan Sect has been in seclusion for many years, and you are in charge of the sect affairs. The headmaster's own son is a devil, so you have to run back and forth, which is really hard."

Chu Xiong nodded slightly after hearing this, then turned his gaze back to the bamboo forest, watching the black evil spirit continue to overflow.

This process lasted for nearly two hours, until the sun began to set in the west, and the evil spirit slowly retreated towards the center of the bamboo forest.

As the aura subsided, the view in the bamboo forest gradually became clearer.

In front of Chu Xiong, his second son Chu He was sitting cross-legged in the depths of the bamboo forest. The evil spirit that was originally howling in the forest was slowly sinking into his body.

Until the evil spirit gradually disappeared from his body, the forest became clear, and the aura around Chu He became incomparably vast and profound.

At this time, his eyes gradually opened, and he looked at Chu Xiong outside the forest in a daze.

As they looked at each other, Chu He's eyes gradually came to life, changing from lifeless to confused.

"Father?"

Chu Xiong looked at him with a smile: "Son, how do you feel?"

Chu He came back to his senses, looked at the energy dancing around him and took a deep breath: "I feel very strong now, it's only been one day, if it continues like this..."

"Young Master, it has been two months since you came back." The old servant following Chu Xiong couldn't help but remind him.

"?"

Chu He was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes again.

Because in his memory, he had just returned home the day before, and was then brought into this bamboo forest.

Then he closed his eyes and meditated, and he felt countless strong auras constantly dissolving in his body.

The breath was powerful and tenacious, and he absorbed it greedily. The energy around him began to become more and more powerful.

But he had no idea that so much time had passed, and he had no memory of going back to his room to rest or eat after completing his daily enlightenment.

Chu Xiong looked at his son's puzzled eyes and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned to look at the old servant behind him and said, "Send the second young master back to his room and let him have a good rest."

"yes."

Chu He saw the old servant coming towards him, so he also stood up from the forest. After a long silence, he said: "During the practice, I seemed to feel something talking in my mind..."

The old servant was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but look at him: "Perhaps the young master has worked too hard and has been able to communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao."

"Can the Heavenly Dao speak?"

"Why can't the Heavenly Dao speak? There are countless great Daos, and everyone's perceptions are different, so the feedback they get is naturally different. Being able to hear the whispers of the Heavenly Dao shows that your talent is far beyond that of ordinary people, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary immortal cultivators."

Chu He suddenly raised his lips after hearing this: "A mere rural private practice..."

The old servant reached out and patted him on the back, then took him back to the bedroom in the front yard.

At this time, a chariot surrounded by pearls and emeralds was slowly driving into the Chu family's villa.

As the carriage stopped, a man with a jade-like face got out of the carriage. He was wearing a purple fairy robe and a glazed fairy crown on his head. He looked quite similar to Chu He.

But even if his aura was restrained, it was still far more powerful than Chu He's.

Chu Xiong had already left the bamboo forest and was waiting for him here. When he saw him get off the car, he took him into the Chu family's ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall is very large, and is filled with hundreds of tablets, with incense burning in the air and candles burning around it.

Chu Xiong held three incense sticks in his hands, knelt down to pay homage to his ancestors, and then looked at his legitimate son beside him: "My dear son, I have thought about this for a long time today, and I think it is a bit risky for us to do this."

"Where do you think it's risky, father?"

"Is this method of cultivation really tolerated by the Way of Heaven?"

"There is something wrong with the way of heaven. It is no longer able to control this world."

“But a few days ago, the Dan Sect’s Immortal Cauldron once overflowed with elixirs.”

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Chu Xian also inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner, knelt back on the futon and turned to look at him: "There may be many reasons for the overflow of the elixir, I can't confirm it, but the ancestor of the Zheng family broke through the realm of immortality and opened the way to immortality. This is proof, otherwise the demon tribe and the barbarian tribe would not be so restless."

Chu Xiong stared at the ancestral tablet with a deep frown on his face.

The sacred weapons of the seven immortal sects can move according to the thoughts of the holders, but they can also move according to the laws of nature.

Many years ago, the Lingjian of Lingjian Mountain chose its own master, which could be seen as an active act of Heaven, otherwise the Taoist tradition would not have fallen from Tianjian Peak to Xuanjian Peak.

But since the ancestor of the Zheng family was able to ignore the restrictions of the Taoist tradition and directly entered the realm of immortality, and even almost embarked on the path to becoming an immortal, it means that the way of heaven can no longer restrain this world.

Then the demons began to take action, and the barbarians on the northern plains also came fiercely.

But not long after, the Danzong Immortal Cauldron overflowed.

This has nothing to do with the thoughts of the person holding the instrument, which means that the way of heaven is still looking down on the earth. This is itself a contradictory phenomenon that makes people feel uneasy.

Just as Chu Xiong was thinking, his eldest son's voice sounded in his ears again.

"How is Chu He's practice going now?"

"My training has been going smoothly, and I haven't had any adverse reactions. However, there is still a stumbling block in entering the inner courtyard, and that is the student named Ji You."

Chu He entered Tianshu Academy, and after entering the inner courtyard, he was appointed as the personal disciple of the Fifth Palace. This was decided before last autumn.

In their opinion, with Chu He's talent, it would be too easy for him to enter the inner courtyard.

The daughter of the Lu family, who was of the same generation as him, had also reached perfection in the lower three realms before she was twenty, but her cultivation was built up with the most refined spirit core breath, so she was not to be feared at all.

But no one would have thought that this year, the Tianshu Academy would actually intrude on a rural private practice that defied the will of heaven.

If it were an ordinary day, the inner courtyard would not be so difficult for the Chu family to enter.

Chu Xian just frowned slightly after hearing what his father said: "I spent so much effort to nourish him, and now he is much stronger than the existing realm. That country private cultivator is just an ordinary Tongxuan realm, so what can he do even if he has a higher talent?"

"That boy seems to be quite extraordinary. It is said that he has a sword-hearted body. He stayed in Lingjian Mountain for three days and learned some sword skills."

"No problem. I will stay at home and teach Chu He in person in the next few days."

"That's all I can do..."

At this time, Chu Xian stood up from the futon, then patted his sleeves and walked out of the Chu family's ancestral hall.

The old servant who had just sent Chu He back was now guarding the courtyard in the night. When he saw Chu Xian coming out of the ancestral hall, he followed him.

"Master, the one who escaped from Fengxian Villa has been dealt with."

Chu Xian stopped walking after hearing this: "Although I am now in charge of Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion, it is still too risky to use their people to do this. I can only blame myself for not being able to bear it and not using my clansmen."

The old servant bowed to the ground and said: "Young Master is kind-hearted, which is a blessing for our Chu family."

"You can't be so kind in the future, otherwise there will be problems. That old man is very wary of me. If his son wasn't a waste, I wouldn't be able to achieve the position of direct successor now."

"You are absolutely right, sir."

Chu Xian turned his hand and spread out his palm, a trace of black air emerged from his palm: "If the Zheng family's ancestor succeeded that day, we wouldn't have to work so hard to cover it up, for fear of being strangled by the way of heaven."
