Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 61: Foundation Building Ancestor
"Father."

Chen Yinghu raised his hand and saluted slightly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiantuo said with some seriousness: "You have to call your position when you are outside."

After saying that, he looked Chen Yinghu up and down carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he felt the heavier aura of magic from Chen Yinghu.

He couldn't help but ask, "Yinghu, have you successfully broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining?"

Chen Yinghu nodded slightly, with a confident smile on his face: "Yes, father, I have successfully broken through the late stage of Qi Refining."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiantuo showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Good good."

Chen Qiantuo suddenly thought of something, stood up, and said to Chen Yinghu: "Come with me."

After leaving the hall, Chen Qiantuo controlled the magic weapon, left the clan land, and headed towards another direction in Cangling Mountain.

Although Chen Yinghu was full of doubts in his heart, he did not say much. Instead, he controlled the magic weapon and followed his father silently.

After seeing this scene on the screen, Ji Chang couldn't help but become curious.

He didn't know where Chen Qiantuo was taking Chen Yinghu, or what important things he wanted to tell him.

Not long after, the two arrived at another hilltop of Cangling Mountain.

The terrain here is steep, with cliffs and steep cliffs everywhere, giving people a desolate feeling.

Chen Qiantuo suddenly stopped the magic weapon, took out a communication talisman from the storage bag, and activated it by using his magic power.

The talisman turned into a ray of light and flew rapidly towards somewhere on the cliff.

Accompanied by a distortion of the air, the spiritual light actually passed through the hard rock wall and disappeared in front of the two people.

Chen Yinghu and Ji Chang were both slightly surprised. They then realized that this seemingly ordinary rock wall was actually an illusion.

There is a different world behind the illusion.

Chen Qiantuo looked at Chen Yinghu's surprised expression and explained with a smile: "This is the most important secret of our Chen family. Only those members who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining are qualified to know it."

Chen Yinghu's curiosity was aroused, and he couldn't help but ask, "Father, what is the secret?"

However, Chen Qiantuo deliberately kept it a secret. He shook his head and said, "You'll know in a moment."

After saying that, he controlled the magic weapon and hovered in front of the rock wall, quietly waiting for something.

Ji Chang saw this scene through the spy screen, and his heart couldn't help but ripple.

Not long after, Ji Chang noticed that Chen Yinghu's expression in the picture suddenly changed.

Then, Chen Qiantuo turned to Chen Yinghu and said, "Let's go."

Then, Chen Qiantuo took the lead and walked towards the rock wall. He passed through the rock wall without any hindrance and disappeared on the other side of the rock wall.

Chen Yinghu followed closely behind and also successfully passed through the rock wall.

Ji Chang's heart moved slightly, and he immediately realized that this should be some kind of secret technique of transmitting sound.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang focused his attention on this mysterious cave, wanting to find out what was inside.

Passing through the rock wall, the scene in front of you changes instantly.

A quiet and deep cave appeared in front of Chen Qiantuo and Chen Yinghu.

This cave is not completely enclosed in the mountain. There are several cleverly hollowed out spots on the dome of the cave, allowing sunlight to shine in in patches.

However, these hollow spaces were cleverly concealed by an illusion array, and even if a cultivator happened to pass by, it would be difficult for him to glimpse the mystery contained therein.

The sunlight shines through the hollows and onto the bluestone floor in the cave, forming areas of alternating light and darkness. The air in the cave carries a faint fragrance of grass and trees, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Chen Qiantuo and Chen Yinghu walked cautiously in the cave, and their footsteps echoed in the empty cave.

Not long after, a middle-aged monk appeared in their sight. The monk was wearing a dark green robe, which fluttered gently, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

He had a beard and looked to be in his early forties, but the depth and vicissitudes of life in his eyes made people feel that he was much older than that.

At this moment, he was standing quietly in front of a patch of dark green spiritual bamboo, which had lush branches and leaves and exuded a faint fragrance.

As soon as Chen Qiantuo saw the middle-aged monk, an expression of awe and excitement immediately appeared on his face.

He knelt on the ground without hesitation, put his hands on the ground, put his forehead close to the ground, and saluted respectfully:
"The unworthy descendant Chen Qiantuo and his son Chen Yinghu pay homage to the ancestor."

Chen Yinghu was shocked. From his father's attitude and words, he immediately understood the identity of this middle-aged monk.

He did not dare to be negligent in the slightest and immediately knelt down behind his father, prostrating himself with his hands on the ground and bowing deeply.

After Ji Chang saw this scene through the images in his mind, he fell silent.

"Ancestor?"

"Ancestor!"

Generally speaking, for different immortal cultivation families, the cultivation levels of the cultivators who are worthy of the title of ancestor are mostly different.

The ancestor of the Yuanying family is a Yuanying cultivator, the ancestor of the Jiedan family is a Jiedan cultivator, and the ancestor of the Zhuji family is also a Zhuji cultivator.

And the ancestor of the Qi Refining Family...

Qi-refining families generally do not have ancestors, because Qi-refining practitioners have relatively low strength and status in the world of immortal cultivation and it is difficult for them to support a family.

In other words, in addition to the eight Qi-refining families in Jiaozhou that were deliberately supported by the Wang family.

In the world of immortal cultivation in Zheng State, generally speaking, only families of Qi-refining cultivators cannot be called immortal cultivation families.

Shaking his head, Ji Chang looked at the middle-aged monk in the picture who was wearing a dark green robe.

"Could it be... that he is a foundation-building cultivator?" Ji Chang speculated in his heart.

And if this middle-aged cultivator is really a foundation-building cultivator, then the status of the Chen family and the situation in Jiaozhou will undergo earth-shaking changes.

While Ji Chang was thinking, the entire cave fell into silence, with only the sound of Chen Qiantuo and Chen Yinghu kneeling on the ground echoing.

The middle-aged monk quietly watched the father and son kneeling on the ground and did not speak immediately.

His gaze stayed on Chen Yinghu for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said slowly, "Get up."

As he finished speaking, Chen Qiantuo and his son Chen Yinghu stood up respectfully as if they had been pardoned.

Their movements were light and quick, not daring to delay for even a moment.

"He is in his thirties and in the late stage of Qi Refining. It seems that our Chen family has a successor."

The middle-aged cultivator whom Chen Qiantuo called the ancestor looked at Chen Yinghu and smiled at him.

Chen Yinghu was very excited when he heard the praise from the ancestor.

He took a deep breath and was about to say something to the ancestor.

However, at this moment, the Chen family ancestor smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Chen Biqi."

Hearing this, not to mention Chen Yinghu, even Ji Chang who was peeping had a slightly changed expression.

This Chen Biqi was the first ancestor who established the Cangling Chen family more than a hundred years ago.

When Chen Biqi established the Cangling Chen family, he was already in his seventies or eighties.

Now time flies, and more than a hundred years have passed. According to common sense, he should be about 170 or 180 years old.

This age is far beyond the life span limit of Qi Refining cultivators. Ji Chang couldn't help but guess that Chen Biqi must have successfully built his foundation and has a lifespan of more than 200 years to survive until now.
