Chapter 415: Chapter 272: Chu Family’s Ancestor, the Venerable who founded the Four Extremes Dao Palace! (Seeking monthly tickets, subscriptions!)_2

…

Earth-Bearing City.

The ancestral hall of the Chu Family.

The structure is built with straight wooden beams and round pillars.

Everything visible to the eye is crimson red.

“Greetings to the Ancestral Master!”

One by one, cultivators who emanated an aura as deep as the ocean initiated their salutations towards a man who appeared to be in his late twenties, donning a casual blue robe.

This man is the Ancestral Master of the Chu Family, possessing cultivation that reaches the heavens.

He is a venerable figure who has opened up the four extreme Dao palaces.

He is also the person who led the Chu Family to prosper in this generation, originally from the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, his status is lofty.

Before his rise, the Chu Family was just one of the several powerful families in Earth-Bearing City, nothing particularly special.

Despite the Chu Family managing to persist for thousands of years, thanks to the bloodline of their ancestors, they were never able to progress further.

It wasn’t until his rise, by virtue of his remarkable talent, that he was able to join the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Subsequently, he broke through to become a Supreme of the four extremes, enjoying unmatched glory in no time.

Even in a Sacred Land, the Supremes of the four extremes are considered rare existences.

Saints hide from the world and practice cultivation diligently, seeking enlightenment to the Great Dao.

When those of great ability in their secluded caves don’t emerge, the Supremes of the four extremes naturally become absolute powerhouses.

It is precisely because he broke through to become a Supreme of the four extremes that the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land conferred Earth-Bearing City to the Chu Family.

From then on, Earth-Bearing City has belonged to the Chu Family.

All the powers within the city must either submit to the Chu Family or relocate from Earth-Bearing City.

But relocating from Earth-Bearing City is not as easy as it sounds.

Having evolved from ancient times till now, any blessed land has a major power residing in it.

Any city within the territory of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is built on a spiritual vein and is also divided amongst many families.

And, these families, have countless connections with the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

If one impulsively decides to settle among them, there is only one outcome – to be devoured by the pack of wolves.

Therefore, in Earth-Bearing City, thanks to the presence of the Ancestral Master, the Chu Family becomes the supreme ruler.

As the Ancestral Master of the Chu Family entered the ancestral hall, his gaze swept across the room and fell upon several broken tablets on display in a high place.

“It seems that everyone, including Chu Yi, has fallen!”

“Yes, Ancestral Master! What should we do now?”

The green-robed Ancestral Master of the Chu Family pondered for a few moments.

He then calmly stated, “Qin Yun is key to the rise of our Chu family. Chu Pan’s treasured bone within his body has yet to fully assimilate with him. Without the nurturing of the Supreme’s bloodline, it’s likely to trigger a rejection reaction. Therefore, we must capture Qin Yun.”

“Will the Ancestral Master be taking action then?” someone inquired in a low voice below.

The Ancestral Master of the Chu Family shook his head, “I can’t take action! As long as I’m present, no matter what trials you go through, even if getting wiped out, the Chu Family’s bloodline will continue to go on.”

“Here is Earth-Bearing City, it is within the inner circle of the territory controlled by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. Here, with the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land as my backing, I fear nothing!”

“If I were to take action, should anything unexpected occur and we lose my deterrent presence, the families that have surrendered to our Chu Family could devour you all!”

Someone nearby addressed with a salute, “The Ancestral Master speaks the truth! With the Ancestral Master here, even if the middle core structures of the Chu Family and all the great cultivators lose their dharma-nature, along with all within the Divine Bridge Realm perishing, it would be just like a hamstring muscle and bone being damaged to the Chu Family.”

“With our Ancestral Master sitting in Earth-Bearing City, after a few hundred years, relying on the bloodline of the Chu Family, and the piling up of the younger generation, the Chu Family can still return to its peak.”

The Ancestral Master of the Chu Family nodded his head, “You understood my intention well! The continuation of the family is always the top priority no matter the circumstances! No benefits can be justified to take reckless risks!”

“Our main Chu Family line and various branches combined have a population that has already exceeded a hundred million. With the blessing of our ancestor’s bloodline, we can shoulder any loss.”

“Therefore, I will not take action, but at any cost, we must capture Qin Yun.”

“Issue my order to all the powers within the city, let every family dispatch at least two of their great cultivators.”

Someone below spoke up,”What about cultivators in the Divine Bridge Realm?”

“There’s no need to send them to their deaths!” The Ancestral Master of the Chu Family slightly shook his head, “Since that vicious person was able to kill Chu Yi and the others, sending more cultivators within the Divine Bridge Realm is meaningless and will only result in more pointless deaths.”

“They are the hope of our Chu Family’s future for the next hundred years!”

“Yes!” The people standing on both sides of the ancestral hall respectfully responded.

Soon after someone asked, “If we capture that vicious person, how should we deal with him?”

“Just kill him directly. Our Chu Family is supported by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, why should we fear his background? If those backing him have the ability, they can try talking to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land!”

Just then.

Someone rushed into the Chu Family’s ancestral hall.

“Reporting to the Ancestral Master, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has been invited into the family!”

“Good!” The Ancestral Master of the Chu Family was extremely pleased, “With his help, it won’t be difficult to locate Qin Yun based on the bloodline connection!”

He strode towards the Chu Family hall, with everyone closely following him.

…

Half an ancient Chinese hour later.

In the middle of Earth-Bearing City, several great cultivators who had been in secluded cultivation and had not come out for a long time, upon receiving the Ancestral Master of the Chu Family’s summon, set off for the Chu Family residence.

This massive disruption couldn’t naturally be kept hidden in Earth-Bearing City.

For a moment, Earth-Bearing City was filled with noise and incessant whispers.

In the restaurant.

“Have you all heard? A great disaster seems to be imminent for the Chu Family. The Chu Family Head and several Elders were killed outside Heavenly Origin City.”

“Daoist Brother, you’re thinking too much. As long as the Chu Family’s Ancestral Master is around, there can be no such thing as a great disaster for the Chu Family.”

“This Daoist Brother makes a valid point. The Ancestral Master of the Chu Family is a Venerable who has opened the four Dao palaces! Only he can represent the rise and fall of the Chu Family.”

“Indeed! As long as he doesn’t die, no matter what disaster strikes the Chu Family, the few major families in the city wouldn’t dare to harbor any intentions. But if he encounters an accident and dies unexpectedly, no matter how prosperous the Chu Family is, as long as there’s no Venerable there, they would still be jointly attacked and utterly divided!”

“I think the miserable one should be that audacious and brutal person! With a respected figure like the Ancestral Master of the Chu Family around, that brutal person dares to kill the Chu Family Head. I don’t think this person will live for much longer!”

“Yes! The current Chu Family is quite extraordinary. Chu Pan, the direct son of the Chu Family Head, ranks within the true teaching of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, and is a strong contender for the position of the Holy Son. The position of the Holy Son in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land will be settled within the next ten years.”

Someone nodded, “I’ve heard that he has been displaying astonishing talent in recent years and his cultivation has advanced rapidly. Furthermore, he’s become a disciple under a Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Lord is just one step away from becoming a powerful figure in the Great Dao of the Cave. Chu Pan now has a good chance to win the position of the Holy Son”

“Yes, we have disciples from our family in the Sacred Land too. I’ve heard about these matters. If Chu Pan can win the position of the holy son of the Heavenly Origin, then the Chu Family will truly take off.”

“Now that we’re talking about it, the Chu Family is indeed rising like the sun at high noon. Externally, the Chu Family has the Ancestral Master, a Venerable who is supported by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. Internally, Chu Pan is a strong contender for the position of the Holy Son.”
