Chapter 236: Purple Qi surges! The Tianyuan era begins

……

Soon, the Tiger Vanguard was surrounded.

On the left was Zhongli Ye, and on the right was a golden-feathered crane circling. In front of it, the old monster Ziyin, surrounded by purple flames, was looking at it with interest. Above its head, there was a Xuanmo treasure boat, with its dragon-head cannon muzzle exposed towards it.

"Ah woo~~"

The tiger vanguard's ferocious roar instantly turned into a kitten-like whimper.

God knows how big the psychological shadow it has at this moment.

However, no one was fooled by it.

The Golden-winged Sun-swallowing Tiger is not as good as the White Jade One-horned Rhino. This creature is unruly and difficult to train. Don't look at it as being cowardly now, but that's only because it knows it can't beat you and it knows the situation, but it's not really convinced.

It is the kind of creature that is unwilling to be inferior to others. If it gets the chance, it will immediately kill the boss without hesitation and take the position itself. Unless it is raised from a young age, there is no guarantee that it will suddenly devour its owner.

Naturally, everyone launched a righteous beating against Tiger Vanguard.

This Tiger Vanguard was quite powerful, having already reached the initial sixth rank in combat power, which was roughly equivalent to the fifth or sixth level of a human Jindan cultivator. But even so, with the presence of the old monster Ziyin, the Tiger Vanguard could not make any waves, and in the end could only die on the spot.

Everyone happily pulled out its tendons, skinned it, removed its bones and cut its flesh, but Old Monster Ziyin ignored it and continued to extract the top-grade spiritual veins of the gold element. After finishing this task, everyone immediately hurried to leave.

To know.

The Southern Wilderness is not a place to be taken lightly. The longer you stay in the same area and the more frequently you come here, the more likely you are to run into danger. Once you are entangled by a demon king, even the old monster Ziyin will be in trouble.

Once the Southern Wilderness Demon King appears, he will not act alone, but will often be followed by a large group of subordinates.

Moreover, Chen Xuanmo had used up more than 30,000 of the 50,000 strands of purple energy, so the remaining ones had to be stored as reserve purple energy just in case.

With this top-grade gold spiritual vein, Chen's most important goal of entering the Southern Wilderness has been achieved.

Next, matters such as transplanting high-quality spiritual veins, relocating population, and transforming the Golden Light Tower will all be put on the agenda, and the Chen family is about to usher in further development.

And the old monster Ziyin, Zhongli Ye and others were also able to share a lot of benefits, and everyone was happy when they returned.

Shortly after everyone left.

Outside the Tiger Vanguard's lair, a ball of fire fell from the sky like a meteorite.

It landed at the entrance of the cave, and the flames dimmed, revealing its true form. It had red feathers and golden pupils, claws like jade hooks, a crown feather on its head that looked like broken gold, and flames all over its body. It was actually a powerful Fire Bird.

"Chirp, chirp!"

"I am here on the orders of Commander Tiger to deliver the military order. Command the Tiger Vanguard to gather the demon generals and soldiers under his command and assemble at Wanhu Ridge immediately."

The Fire Bird called a few times outside the cave entrance, but no monster paid any attention to it.

The entire nest was eerily quiet inside and outside.

It sensed something was wrong and after a slight hesitation it went into the cave to check. After a short while, it ran out in panic and flapped its wings to fly quickly into the sky.

Two days later, the Fire Sparrow landed in a mountain range tens of thousands of miles away.

"Chat!"

"Commander, commander, something terrible has happened. The Tiger Vanguard..." The Fire Bird chirped excitedly as it reported.

After a while.

"Ouch~~"

An extremely angry roar of a tiger was heard from the ridge.

In recent years, the demon generals in the territory under the Tiger Commander's jurisdiction have disappeared from time to time. Even the white jade unicorn rhino, which it had originally favored and was preparing to win over, disappeared.

But it never expected that even the Tiger Vanguard was missing and even its nest had been raided!

check!
Let me get to the bottom of it!
I want to see which bastard dares to cause trouble on the territory of its Tiger Commander!!!
*****
Naturally, the Chen family didn't know that their successive actions had alarmed a certain tiger leader. After leaving the Southern Wilderness, they continued to build their family and develop their own strength step by step.

Over the years, the Chen clan members have long been accustomed to this rhythm and are rapidly digesting the gains from this trip to the Southern Wilderness.

A blink of an eye.

Nearly another year has passed.

Autumn, the 258rd year of the Xuanmo calendar.

The sacrificial ceremony began as usual, but Chen Xuanmo, who woke up during the chanting of the sacrificial text, was surprised to find that no purple air was emanating from everyone's body during this sacrifice.

This scared Chen Xuanmo.

He has been dead for sixty-one years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. Could it be that there is something wrong with the lucky beads?
But he doesn't know how to repair the lucky beads~
He was a little panicked and at a loss, but considering the overall situation, he did not leak the matter after all, not even to Chen Ningtai.

He systematically identified the qualifications of the newborns, held a family meeting, made some jade plaques, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Soon, another year passed.

In the 259th year of the Xuanmo calendar, there was still no purple air produced during sacrifices.

Chen Xuanmo became increasingly uneasy.

In the 260th and 261st years of the Xuanmo calendar, there was still no change in the lucky bead.

His entire heroic spirit was in a bad condition. He had not had any purple energy income for many years. He had only about 20,000 strands of purple energy left and could only spend it sparingly. But even so, the purple energy was still getting less and less, and it was about to run out.

Seeing that the truth could no longer be concealed, Chen Xuanmo was filled with thoughts and felt extremely heavy.

He knew very well that his existence depended on the purple energy. Without the supply of purple energy, he, the heroic ancestor, would fall into eternal sleep and never wake up again.

Without the protection of the lucky beads, Chen will no longer have the good fortune he had before and will no longer be able to turn disaster into blessing. Everything needs to be carefully considered.

He has already started thinking about "making arrangements for his final resting place".

Amidst deep worry, time passed to the 262nd year of the Xuanmo calendar, the sixty-fifth anniversary of Chen Xuanmo's death.

Chen Xuanmo woke up slowly to the sound of Chen Ningtai's eulogy being recited.

He originally thought that this time would be the same as usual and there would still be no income from the purple energy.

But he never expected it.

Before he even opened his eyes, he felt an unprecedented surge of purple energy, like a vast ocean tide, surging into the lucky bead.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found that they were full of surging purple air. In the ancestral hall, purple air like a tide was rushing through the Xuanmo sword and into the lucky bead.

Compared to the last time the purple energy was absorbed five years ago, the scale is many times larger!
This, this, this!
Chen Xuanmo was surprised and happy.

Is this the bug of the lucky beads being fixed by itself?
Or is it that after the lucky bead transformed and upgraded, the rules for absorbing purple energy also changed, from once a year to once every five years?

This is very likely to happen.

No one has stipulated that the lucky bead must absorb purple energy once a year, and it does not absorb purple energy just because someone worships it. Instead, it has its own set of rules.

When it was weak before, the cycle of absorbing purple energy was one year.

But after it turned into a gem, the cycle of absorbing purple energy became five years!
After figuring this out, Chen Xuanmo's heart, which had been hanging for four years, suddenly fell into the lucky bead.

It turns out that there was no bug with the lucky beads, but that the mechanism changed after it was upgraded.

Chen Xuanmo was both surprised and angry.

You bastard, if you wanted to change the mechanism, couldn’t you tell me in advance?

However, he also knew in his heart that this lucky bead was not a system and it could not speak, so naturally it had no way of saying a word to Chen Xuanmo. All the previous functions and mechanisms were figured out by Chen Xuanmo himself.

Now, he naturally needs to explore on his own the changes in the mechanism after the magic weapon is upgraded.

With the surprise of regaining what he had lost, Chen Xuanmo began to take stock of the purple energy he had gained this time.

It took him several times longer than before to count the amount of purple energy he had absorbed this time.

This time, the total amount of purple qi absorbed is 73882 strands, plus the current remaining amount of purple qi of 9382 strands, the current total reserves of purple qi have reached 83264 strands!
Only about 17,000 left, and the purple energy reserves would exceed 100,000!

Surprise, what is a surprise?

This is the surprise!
It was certainly frustrating to be able to absorb purple energy once every five years, but with so much purple energy coming in all at once, Chen Xuanmo felt like he had become rich overnight.

And if you calculate carefully, you will find that the total amount of purple energy produced once every five years should be much greater than the accumulation year by year.

Chen Xuanmo remembered that the last time he absorbed purple qi five years ago, there were more than 13,000 strands. Even though the purple qi increased every year, it would not reach more than 73,000 strands in five years. Presumably, the mechanism for settlement every five years should be to calculate the amount of purple qi in the last year multiplied by five.

In this way, the harvest will naturally be much more than what we harvest every year.

Moreover, Chen Xuanmo also figured out the principle behind the changes that occurred after the lucky beads were upgraded.

As the family grew larger, the scope of the clan members' activities became wider and wider. Even with the mechanism of separate ancestral halls, it was a heavy burden for the clan members and worshippers to hold collective sacrifices once a year.

Moreover, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, one would go into seclusion for several years at a time. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, one could go into seclusion for a long period of time, possibly for twenty or even thirty years.

In addition, cultivators above the Jindan stage are sometimes sent to participate in the exploration of some important secret realms, or to go to the border to defend against monsters and fight against evil cultivators. Sometimes they are away for a long time and may not have time to rush back.

Participating in the Chen family's ancestral worship ceremony every year actually has an impact on their respective practice arrangements, but it is not very obvious in the short term. In fact, those family worshippers have already had some complaints among themselves, but since they have received benefits from the Chen family and are soft-hearted, they can't say anything and can only bite the bullet and gather every year.

In the long run, it will definitely not be a problem.

Chen Xuanmo understood that perhaps one day, after the Lucky Bead was upgraded again, the cycle of absorbing purple energy might become once every ten years, once every twenty years, or even longer.

The ancestor worship ceremony can be adjusted accordingly, and changed to a major sacrifice every five years. On ordinary days, the direct descendants of the family will offer sacrifices themselves, or it is even okay not to offer sacrifices at all.

After solving the "BUG" of the lucky beads.

Chen Xuanmo's heart was completely relaxed.

He consumed 30 strands of purple energy, broke free from the lucky bead, and began to stroll around the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

He had been very worried in the past few years, all he was thinking about was how to solve the bug in the lucky beads. In order to save purple energy, he had minimized the time he spent outside. Naturally, he was not in the mood to stroll around and inspect the family situation.

He just remembered that in the previous four years, a total of nineteen children were born in the family, seventeen of whom had five spiritual roots and two had four spiritual roots.

This year, six children were born in the family, and according to the rules of previous years, they were distinguished by the color of their swaddling clothes.

As usual, Chen Xuanmo used the Purple Qi Sky Eye Technique to open the children's blind boxes one by one to identify their spiritual roots.

Not surprisingly, five spiritual roots, five spiritual roots... Eh? There is a four spiritual roots.

Chen Xuanmo was about to look at the next one when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

I always feel that the color of the spiritual roots of the four spiritual roots just now seems to be wrong?

Go back and take a look.

It really is.

There was a ball of snow-white light inside the four spiritual roots, exuding a cold aura, which was clearly an ice spiritual root!
Good, good, finally there is a decent child in the family.

Chen Xuanmo glanced at the child's parents.

Well, my father is the big guy Chen Xiuyan, and my mother is Tan Tai Ye Ling from the Tan Tai clan in Donghai.

Tan Tai Ye Ling is also a child with four spiritual roots, which is why she is willing to marry Chen Xiu Yan, who also has four spiritual roots.

Firstly, the Chen family's overall strength is now incomparable to the past, and it is much stronger than the old foundation-building family, the Tan Tai family.

Secondly, it is rumored in the outside world that the Chen family's bloodline is extraordinary, and their ancestor Chen Xuanmo is most likely a descendant of a certain saint from the spiritual world. It was that saint who encountered danger and forcibly split the space to send his descendants to the mortal world.

As for why the bloodlines of the first one or two generations of Chen family children were ordinary, and mortals without spiritual roots were born from time to time, the reason was very simple. In order to hide Chen Xuanmo's identity, the Saint Lord placed a bloodline restriction on him.

Only after several generations of reproduction will the bloodline of the Holy Lord gradually emerge.

According to some people’s estimation, as time goes by, it will be easier for the Chen family to produce bloodline descendants with stronger spiritual roots and aptitude, until one day a complete bloodline descendant of the Saint Venerable will appear.

It is said that this news was released by Master Ziyin, and he spoke with certainty and conviction.

Thinking back, Chen Xuanmo was shocked when he heard it for the first time.

This version of Ziyin Zhenren's story was ten times more exaggerated and bizarre than the one he released at the beginning, but some families actually believed it, thinking that even if the Chen family's bloodline was not the bloodline of the Holy Lord, it must have a high origin, and they all tried to find ways to form an alliance with the Chen family through marriage.

She would even be willing to exchange a daughter with four spiritual roots for a daughter-in-law with five spiritual roots, and Chen's daughters would usually marry husbands with four spiritual roots.

In order to maintain this setting, Chen had long ago replaced the purple jade token in her daughter's dowry with a gold-seal jade token.

If five spiritual roots are combined with four spiritual roots, the probability of giving birth to a baby with four spiritual roots using a gold seal and jade plate is not low.

Chen also suffered no loss by doing this, as her married daughters would often bring their husbands and children to worship their ancestors, and the children would naturally be close to Chen, so the relationship between the two families would be more harmonious after she came to power in the future.

The most important thing is that as word of mouth spread about Chen’s daughter, she had less and less trouble finding a husband. She became a hot commodity in the marriage market, even more popular than the girls with four spiritual roots from ordinary families.

After all, who wouldn't want to get a glimpse of the Saint's family bloodline?
As for Chen's daughters with four spiritual roots, they are even more popular. Basically, unless the husband is of different spiritual roots or three spiritual roots, don't even bother talking to them. But so far, none of Chen's daughters with four spiritual roots are willing to marry.

They knew clearly in their hearts that once they got married, their hope of becoming a Golden Elixir would be extremely slim. But if they stayed with the Chen family, there would always be hope of achieving the Golden Elixir, right?

It is in this context.

Chen Xiuyan, who had four spiritual roots, married the daughter of Tan Tai, who also had four spiritual roots, while Chen married a daughter of five spiritual roots to Tan Tai, and the two sides officially entered the marriage stage.

This time.

Chen Xiuyan and Tan Tai Ye Ling gave birth to a child with ice spiritual roots, and Chen Xuanmo was also a little excited.

After some consideration, he named the child Chen Shihan.

The boy's generation name "Shi" corresponds to the girl's generation name "Jin", and both are the seventh-generation grandchildren of Chen Xuanmo.

Of course, Chen Shihan has four spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots. In an ordinary family, he is just a person with a chance of achieving golden elixir, which is equivalent to three and a half spiritual roots. He is quite far behind Chen Jinshuang, who also has ice spiritual roots. The latter has two spiritual roots and ice spiritual roots, which is equivalent to one and a half spiritual roots.

But in the Chen family, such aptitude has a great chance of being able to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, and is not much inferior to the ordinary three spiritual roots.

But it's a bit of a pity.

Among the six children this time, the remaining five all have five spiritual roots. In the future, they will only be the cornerstones of the family, screws in the family operating system, and tools for reproducing future generations!

Once the number of family members increases, even if a baby is born with a gold seal and jade plate, there is a possibility of three spiritual roots or even higher spiritual roots.

After dealing with this matter.

Chen Xuanmo strolled around the ancestral hall for a while, and paid a special visit to Chen Jinshuang, who was only eleven years old.

This child is worthy of being a double mutated spiritual root. She has snow-white skin and a cold temperament at a young age, looking like an iceberg beauty.

In addition, he glanced at Chen Xinyang again.

The child is already nine years old and looks very smart. It is obvious at first glance that he has the spirituality of a child with three spiritual roots.

Of course, this is a reversal of cause and effect. Many children with poor spiritual roots appear to be quite spiritual on the surface.

The nine-year-old child underwent conventional spiritual root testing last year and was found to have three spiritual roots.

However, Chen did not plan to let this child find a master from outside, but wanted to train him herself. In the future, he could first follow Yang Yuling to gain experience for a while, and after his cultivation level improved, he could gradually take over the affairs of Canglong Water Mansion. Otherwise, with his mother Yang Yuling, who only has four spiritual roots, she would not be able to handle the situation.

In fact, at this stage.

The children who can really catch Chen Xuanmo's eye must have four spiritual roots or mutated spiritual roots. Only children with three spiritual roots will be taken very seriously. And the only ones he regards as his sweethearts are Chen Jinshuang and Chen Xinlei, especially the girl Shuang'er, who is the apple of Chen Xuanmo's eye.

There's nothing he can do about it. Chen Xuanmo is just such a fickle old scum.

After a while, this joyful sacrificial activity finally came to an end.

It’s time for the family meeting that makes Chen Xuanmo drowsy again.

But this time, Chen Xuanmo was in a rare good mood. Even when Chen Jingyun reported some tedious data, he listened with great interest.

It is worth mentioning that Jingyun is already over eighty years old, but he still looks like a mature young uncle, but he looks more elegant and imposing.

And his cultivation has reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Period, which is not much different from the three spiritual roots geniuses of ordinary families. And in terms of his progress in comprehending the true meaning of the Gold Element, he has almost reached the level of great success.

If I really fight with someone of the same age with three spiritual roots, it will definitely be a suspense as to who will win and who will lose.

This is naturally due to the fact that Jingyun has enjoyed full family dividends since he was a child. Not only are the resources for cultivation extremely abundant, but there is also purple energy from time to time to help him break through his cultivation and comprehend the true meaning!

However, compared to his wife Wang Qianqian, Jing Yun is far inferior.

This girl has already reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, even though she has been obsessed with studying puppets for a long time, which has delayed her cultivation progress.

More worth mentioning is the rebellious son Chen Ningtai.

Over the years, he has gradually handed over all the family affairs to Jingyun. From time to time, he would use Cui's Golden Light Tower to meditate for a period of time. With his old father constantly using purple energy to help him gain enlightenment, his cultivation speed finally soared.

Now, his cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage. As long as he reaches the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and continues to hone his skills, he can then move on to the Golden Core Stage.

But time is unforgiving.

At this time, the rebellious son was already 171 years old. Even with proper maintenance, he still inevitably showed some signs of old age. By the time he broke through to the Golden Elixir stage, he would most likely be a white-haired old man!
There is no way, it is very difficult for the four spiritual roots to break through to the golden elixir.

He was extremely lucky to have this chance in his life.

"Grandfather, Brother Jingpeng sent back a message." Chen Jingyun continued to report, "Our family's base in Tianyuan Imperial City has been initially established, and with the help of Master Changsheng, we have collected a lot of information about the wanted criminals on the red list."

Upon hearing the news, Chen Xuanmo immediately became excited.

This time, with more than 80,000 strands of purple energy in hand, it is the best time to advance into the Tianyuan Continent.

The most important thing is that Chen Xuanmo used to be worried that the Tianyuan Continent was too far away and would delay the annual sacrifice.

Now that sacrifices can be held once every five years, there is plenty of time to create trouble in the Tianyuan Continent.

He had to obtain the Tianyuan Bronze Medal and pick up any bargains he could find, and if possible, he also had to find a way to provide some guarantees for Ning Tai's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage. If he counted carefully, there were quite a lot of things he had to do on this trip to the Tianyuan Continent.

If the opportunity is right, he might be able to build a branch base in the Tianyuan Continent. Then, the family members in the Tianyuan Continent would have someone to rely on, and he would be able to travel there from time to time.

……
