Chapter 262: Purple Qi Explodes! 75th Anniversary of Death
……

With Chen Ningtai's successful advancement to the Jindan stage, the Chen family was naturally officially promoted to a Jindan family.

The Hedong Chen family deserves its reputation.

As the news spread, various families sent their ancestors or elite clansmen to express congratulations. Even the Great Wu Royal Family, the Yunyang Sect, the Wanhua Palace, and even the Wuhen Mountain specially sent representatives over.

For a moment, Qingyu Cliff was extremely lively, as if it had become the center of the Great Wu Kingdom.

Fortunately, after so many years of expansion, the Chen family's main residence has undergone a qualitative improvement in both floor area and building scale. The layout is not inferior to some old Jindan families, so it can accommodate many people.

However, there were too few members of the Chen clan, and even fewer important ones, so they were unable to accommodate all the guests at once. They had to borrow some people from the various in-laws' families before they were able to properly entertain everyone.

After all this excitement, the increasingly dangerous and tense atmosphere in the East China Sea and the West Sea has been eased a lot.

This excitement lasted for three or four months before it came to an end.

And at this same time.

Above the East China Sea.

A large treasure ship that looked a little old was moving through the thin clouds at a fast speed, seemingly slowly, like a moving fortress.

On the deck of the treasure ship.

An old man with white hair and beard, who looked like an ordinary person in his seventies, stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

But although he looked old, he seemed energetic and had a straight figure. Just standing there, he looked like a towering mountain, making people feel insignificant.

"Ancestor." A sturdy, muscular middle-aged man came over, raised his hand and saluted the old man, saying respectfully, "According to the sea chart, the Donghai County on the coast of Wu State is only about ten thousand miles ahead."

"It's not easy~"

The old man's brows relaxed slightly, and even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the twists and turns of this trip.

Along the way, they encountered countless waves of sea beasts, and once they almost came face to face with a seventh-level demon king.

If he had not revealed the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm at the critical moment, and displayed a calm and fearless demeanor, scaring off the Demon King, otherwise, their team would have suffered a lot of casualties.

"Grandfather, I don't quite understand..." The middle-aged man said with a sad face and a hint of complaint in his tone, "Why do we, the Tianyuan He family, have to take on this thankless job?"

"I heard that when the Tianyuan Royal Family subcontracted this job to us, they had already deducted 30% of the profit, and we had to be responsible for the materials, labor, etc. If it were in the Tianyuan Continent, this job would be doable and we could make some money."

"But traveling all the way to this remote country of Wu is not only dangerous, but also requires a lot of shipping costs. How much money can you earn in the end?"

This idea was not only held by the middle-aged man, but also by all the cultivators in the entire He family formation engineering team. The round trip and construction would take too many years, and it would not even be convenient to go home to visit relatives.

"Asshole." The He family ancestor glared at him unhappily. "Why did I take this job? Others may not know, but you don't? If it weren't for your great grandfather who spent a lot of family resources to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and failed, and owed a lot of debts for it~~~I am already over a thousand years old, is it necessary for me to run around like this?"

The middle-aged man blushed and muttered, "That being said, after deducting the cost of materials, you can't make much money from this job, and it's very hard. Besides, you are a great formation master. Even the formation masters of the royal family and Taixuan Sect praise you for your ability."

"What do you know?" The He family ancestor said helplessly, "Although my formation skills are of high level, that is also due to the deep foundation passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. They praise me just to get something out of our family. Now your great grandfather has failed to condense the Nascent Soul, and it will take more resources to take the path of the Nascent Soul in the future... If we don't ask the royal family and Taixuan Sect, we can only find another way."

There was one thing he didn't say. The failure of the He family's Nascent Soul seed to condense for the first time had made many evil sharks smell blood. In recent years, the formation masters of the royal family and Taixuan Sect have been desperately trying to grab the lucrative jobs on the Tianyuan Continent. They may have the intention of suppressing the He family and treating them as prey.

Now that the He family wants to take on jobs in the Tianyuan Continent, there is no need to think too much about big and lucrative jobs. If this continues, the He family will inevitably decline, not to mention raising resources for the Nascent Soul seeds to have a second impact on the Nascent Soul.

When He Jinzhou's remaining life span of a hundred or so years at most runs out, He will be doomed to die. At the very least, he will have no chance of continuing his Nascent Soul stage.

"So," the He clan ancestor said in a deep voice, "We must make this Hedong Chen clan's Great Five Elements Array construction project a success and make it a benchmark array project for our He clan in the Wu Kingdom. Only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the Wu Kingdom and find another way to raise resources for your great grandfather's second Yuanying."

“By the way, tell this old ancestor that you should not take advantage of the fact that you are from Tianyuan Continent and act arrogantly. Otherwise, this old ancestor will never let you off easily.”

"Yes, ancestor." The middle-aged man was awe-inspiring.

His ancestor had a good temper, but that didn't mean his descendants dared to ignore his words.

next moment.

The He family's ancestor suddenly let out an "eh" and looked into the distance.

They saw a dark medium-sized treasure boat flying towards them at high speed in the sky. It was so fast that it took only a dozen breaths of time for the He family ancestor to discover it and arrive in front of it.

The first thing that catches your eye is the exaggeratedly shaped Fiery Sun Cannon at the bow of the ship.

However, the He family did not take this level of shipborne artillery seriously. Although this type of artillery that could deal with Jindan stage was powerful, their large treasure ship was equipped with five of them!

However, a woman standing at the bow attracted everyone's attention.

She didn't look particularly glamorous, but she was pretty and elegant. She wore a pale yellow robe without any decorations, which made her look simple and generous. The slightly loose robe swayed slightly in the wind, making her look ethereal, especially the green fox in her arms...

uh~
When the middle-aged man saw the seemingly well-behaved fox, he felt an uncontrollable fear in his heart, as if he had encountered some deadly and dangerous natural enemy.

But the green fox grinned at him from a distance.

This is this...

This is a seventh-level demon king!
The middle-aged man staggered back and almost fell to the ground, his face extremely pale.

Even the He family's ancestor felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. His hair and beard stood on end, his robes bulged, and he stared at the green fox with a very serious look.

He had a feeling that the fox was extremely powerful, even stronger than an ordinary seventh-level demon king.

Undoubtedly, this fox is the seven-tailed fox king, the spiritual beast that the Chen family acquired a few years ago.

After she was accepted into the family, Chen Xuanmo also gave her a nice name, called [Chen Xinhu]. In the Chen family's generation ranking, the "Xin" generation for girls is the same as the "Ning" generation for boys, both of them are the second generation. After being recorded in the family tree, she is theoretically the eldest sister of Chen Ningtai and Chen Ninghe...

After having a name, Chen Xinhu's sense of belonging to the Chen family suddenly became much stronger.

In addition, Chen Jingyun later organized two more wool-pulling operations in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, fished out some resources, and supplied them to her first to break through the bottleneck.

This allowed Chen Xinhu's strength to break through the shackles that had been in place for a long time in a short period of time. Now his strength is comparable to the third level of the human Yuanying period, which is slightly stronger than the old monster Ziyin.

With so many benefits and the Chen family members taking care of him like family, Chen Xinhu unknowingly came to accept this pretty good life.

The woman in the plain wide robe was naturally Master Taiyue.

Now, she has not resigned from the Yunyang Sect, but she is already a typical eldest lady of the Chen family and the manager of the family's inner house. She has filled the gap of the family mistress.

This time, when the He construction team from Tianyuan Continent came, she went in person to greet the He construction team and give them a warning, lest the Tianyuan construction team underestimate the Chen family and cheat or cut corners in the construction of the Great Five Elements Formation.

"I am Taiyue, a junior, and I have come here specially to greet Senior He and all the fellow Taoists." Taiyue's voice was clear and loud. She was already at the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage, and her strength was already very impressive.

"How dare I?" When the He family's ancestor heard that it was someone from the Chen family, he felt relieved, but he did not dare to be arrogant and quickly returned the greeting politely.

Are you kidding? He is holding a seventh-level demon king in his arms.

The He family ancestor naturally had self-awareness. Although he was also in the Nascent Soul stage, he was old, his Qi and blood had begun to decline, and his body functions had begun to decline in various ways. Moreover, he had been dealing with formations for a long time, and they were infrastructure-type formations, so he was not good at fighting at all.

If they really started fighting, he felt that he would probably lose more than he won.

And after this show of force.

The He family's construction team suddenly became obedient, and there was no need for the He family's ancestor to remind them again. Everyone was very cautious, for fear that they would accidentally anger the Chen family and release the demon king to eat them.

However, Chen obviously did not treat He's construction team badly. Whether it was the welcoming banquet at the beginning or the construction work meal later, they tried their best to ensure that every meal had spiritual fish, spiritual meat and high-quality spiritual rice. In the introverted place of Tianyuan Continent, He's construction team rarely received similar treatment. After being fed, they also cheered up and completed every task with great professionalism.

Master Taiyue lurked beside the He family's ancestor as a supervisor, pretending to be just an ordinary family matriarch, but secretly learned the He family's method of building the Five Elements Formation.

However, the other party would not show everything in front of outsiders, and often held small meetings in private to discuss plans. At this time, it would be natural for Chen Xuanmo, the heroic ancestor, to come forward and secretly write down their discussion content and specific operations, and then write them to Taiyue's daughter-in-law.

at the same time.

Chen Xuanmo would also give Taiyue a golden mark from time to time, allowing her to speed up her comprehension of formation knowledge, so that her attainments in formation soared.

Finally one day.

She revealed her true colors in front of the He family's ancestor, exposing the fact that she was also a formation master. Naturally, this caused the He family's ancestor's dissatisfaction, and he began to guard against her like a thief.

However, Taiyue has been in contact with the He family for a long time and has already understood their situation thoroughly.

Immediately, Taiyue found the ancestor of the He family to have a heart-to-heart talk, and expressed his willingness to invest and hire the ancestor of the He family to be a nominal formation worshiper in the Chen family.

The He family's ancestor naturally refused at first, but when the price was offered, the He family's ancestor was silent for a long time, and finally agreed with a sigh.

Who would refuse a dependent job that pays 100,000 spirit stones a year, comes with extra work and bonuses?
The remaining life span he has is not much, but it is not too little either. He still has a hundred or so years left. If he lives until he dies of old age, wouldn't he have at least a few million spirit stones? This alone is enough to pay off the He family's debts and give the seed that failed to break through to the Nascent Soul stage another chance.

Taiyue even said that at the right time, Chen was willing to pay the registration fee of He's ancestor in advance, so that He's Nascent Soul seed would not miss the best time to impact the Nascent Soul.

As it was, the He ancestor was naturally grateful to Chen, and he worked even harder in the subsequent construction of the Great Five Elements Formation. The construction progress was also accelerated in an orderly manner. He even turned a blind eye to Taiyue's secret learning, and occasionally gave her some pointers.

But what the He family's ancestor never expected was that Taiyue, who usually kept a low profile, would make rapid progress in his attainments in formations every now and then. Now he has even surpassed many core members of the He family and is not much behind the next generation of Nascent Soul.

This greatly surprised the He family's ancestor. He was astonished by Taiyue's talent in formation and began to think of taking him as his disciple.

And time passes little by little in this process.

Finally, it was the 272nd year of the Xuanmo calendar.

The Chen family's five-yearly ancestor worship ceremony finally began with Chen Ningtai's rambling recitation of the sacrificial text.

It was the first time that He's ancestor participated in Chen's ancestor worship ceremony as a worshipper. The ancestor he was worshipping was an ancestor in the foundation-building stage. He always felt that something was not quite right and he felt very uncomfortable inside.

But because Chen offered so much, he had no choice but to participate.

However, when he saw that among the offerings, there were two Nascent Soul cultivators, True Man Hong Fu and True Man Zi Yin, his anxiety was instantly soothed. Just kidding, those two True Men were both the leaders of a sect, and although he was also a Nascent Soul, his status and position were a little lower than theirs.

If they can all serve as offerings, then He Jinzhou can naturally earn this money as well, it’s not shameful!
This time, the Chen family even invited quite a few Jindan cultivators from the Yunyang Sect and the Wanhua Palace to participate in the sacrifice as Chen family's affiliated worshippers. For example, Fairy Bingpo, who had been so arrogant before, finally went down to the sea after being cajoled by her disciple Chen Jinshuang.

There was also Si Jianli, Fairy Jianli, who had recently been promoted to the Golden Core Stage, and could not resist the instigation of her disciple Chen Xintao, and agreed reluctantly.

In addition, several core members of the He family who were in the Jindan stage were also given a name to be affiliated with, so that they could get a generous reward and have a taste of the sweetness.

In short, Chen has tried every possible means to collect this wave of purple energy.

no way.

Chen Xuanmo knew that a huge crisis was imminent. If he could not overcome it, he would most likely have to abandon his family and career and start over. Instead of doing that, it would be better to seize the opportunity to stock up on some purple energy so as to cope with the uncertain future.

So, when Chen Xuanmo woke up this time, what greeted him was an extremely surging tide of purple energy!
Well, the largest one, well, should be from my good daughter Chen Xinhu. The purple energy she gave out was extremely thick and powerful, and it was so powerful that it could swallow up mountains and rivers. If she gave five years' worth of energy at one time, I'm afraid she alone would have to contribute about 50,000 strands of purple energy.

My dear daughter is truly worthy of being a seventh-rank demon king. The purple energy she contributes is so powerful.

The next one is the purple energy of old monster Ziyin. The old monster has improved his cultivation recently, but the total amount is only about half of what Chen Xinhu contributed. After all, Chen Xinhu is a daughter now, and old monster Ziyin is just a offering, which has the effect of halving the purple energy.

This made Chen Xuanmo despise him deeply again. Old ghost, old ghost, instead of doing this, you might as well change your surname to Chen as soon as possible. If the age doesn’t match, I will arrange an identity for you as the ancestor of the Chen family.

In this way, you, Ziyin, are also the descendant of the Holy Ancestor of the Spirit World. It will be more prestigious if you tell others about it, right?

Of course, Chen Xuanmo was just talking nonsense.

If Chen Ningtai really dared to say this to the old monster Ziyin, he would probably be slapped to death.

Then the people who made the highest contributions were True Man Hong Fu and Great Array Master He Jinzhou. The amount of purple energy they contributed was almost the same, only slightly inferior to True Man Ziyin.

The fifth place in contribution is quite unexpected.

It turned out to be the cowardly and shameless tiger leader. However, after Chen named him "Chen Daohu" and he became Chen Xuanmo's grandson, this guy's loyalty soared and he looked like he was proud to be the Chen family's spiritual beast.

But it's no wonder. Although Chen Daohu is a coward, he is a demon general after all, and his strength is still very powerful. Among all the spirit beasts, he is only slightly inferior to Chen Xinhu, and is equivalent to a late Jindan cultivator.

It would be reasonable to contribute more purple energy.

However, Chen Daohu had not yet reached the seventh level and was unable to transform himself into any size as he wished. He could only squat on the left and right of the outer eaves of the expanded ancestral hall with Chen Ningxi, looking like two door gods.

Next is the ranking of purple qi contribution.

They are Chen Xuanmo’s Taiyue daughter-in-law and Chen Ningxi.

He felt the explosive purple energy contribution from Taiyue's daughter-in-law, and the last trace of grudge and dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

Letting the rebellious sons and grandsons find a few more powerful daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and great-grandsons-in-law may not be a shortcut to the rapid development of the family.

Of course, Chen Xuanmo was just telling a joke.

After absorbing a wave of purple energy, he began to happily take stock of his harvest.

no doubt.

This was the largest amount of purple energy Chen Xuanmo had ever absorbed at one time.

In order to attract all kinds of worshippers, Chen used all kinds of means, even gambling on his future. If he could successfully survive the tribulation this time, everything would go smoothly. If he fled to the Tianyuan Continent in embarrassment this time, he would have to make a comeback.

After analyzing the purple energy, Chen Xuanmo himself was deeply shocked.

28 strands. This time, a total of 28 strands of purple energy were absorbed!

He remembered that the last time was five years ago, he only absorbed 10 strands at one time. Well, so much purple energy was inseparable from the efforts of Chen Xuanmo.

Now, with the remaining 1 strands of purple energy from last time, the total number of purple energy has reached 29 strands.

Such a terrifying amount of purple energy made Chen Xuanmo feel itchy. He wanted to try out the mark of 10 threads. What color would it be?
It’s a pity that these purple auras are the last crazy trump card to deal with the Blood Soul Cult. They have to be kept and cannot be used at will.

If you want to try out any color, it’s best to wait until the crisis is resolved.

And at the same time.

Under the flushing of massive purple energy, the Xuanmo sword once again entered a state of transformation.

After the transformation was completed, the Xuanmo sword directly entered the ranks of mid-grade magic weapons, and all its powers were upgraded in all aspects. Even if the sword energy of the sword-cultivating technique was not used, just relying on Chen Xuanmo burning the purple energy to sneak attack the Jindan cultivator was already quite lethal!

This made Chen Xuanmo's sense of security increase significantly.
