Chapter 650 Spirit Void Chen Clan

"You—"

The elder's expression shifted slightly, yet he made no move to intervene.

At this moment, he felt numbness in his wrists, his brow furrowing with grave solemnity.

The might of the Heavenly Union Convergence had reached the threshold of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm. Even he, as the Sword-bearing Elder, sensed immense danger and dared not rashly oppose Eldrin (Person Name).

However, as a true cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage, having his dignity challenged still left him visibly displeased.

His expression darkened as he glared at Eldrin, a chilling glint flashing in his eyes. "Though your cultivation is indeed remarkable, suppressing our Long River Immortal Alliance’s True Monarch is not a matter that can be so easily brushed aside."

"Is that so?"

Eldrin (Person Name) let out a cold sneer and declared, "With this matter settled, I shall personally visit the Eternal River Sanctuary to meet with Brother Tianji (Person Name). There is no need for you to trouble yourself over it."

"Huantian Ji?"

The Sword-holding Elder’s expression shifted abruptly at those words. After all, Huantian Ji was a disciple of Riverlord Chang (Person Name). Not only had his cultivation already broken through to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), but he also possessed considerable confidence in advancing to the Primordial Spirit realm.

Such a being possessed a status of unparalleled nobility; who would have thought Eldrin actually had ties with him.

"This man is the Eldrin, whose combat prowess is truly extraordinary. He must be someone of remarkable origins."

"Since he spared Fang Xuanjing's life, it would be unwise to make an enemy of him."

With that thought, the Sword-wielding Elder suppressed the urge to press the matter further.

However, with the relationship already strained, he still replied with a frosty expression, "You have impressive connections, fellow Daoist. I have learned my lesson today."

The Sword-Wielding Daoist spoke, then flicked his sleeve and departed without so much as a backward glance.

After the Swordbearing Daoist departed, the crowd that had accompanied the Fang family scattered in a tumult, leaving only Fang Xuanjing imprisoned beneath the mountain range.

"My thanks for your aid, Fellow Daoist."

At that very moment, the Chen Family Ancestor was being supported as he walked over by Corin (Person Name) and his companion.

Eldrin gave a slight nod, his gaze briefly resting upon the severely injured Patriarch of the Chen Family before speaking. "Since we are all part of the same family, there is no need for such formalities."

Hearing this, the crowd finally understood that they still possessed an ancestral homeland in the distant 3 Veins Ancient Domain.

Indeed, the Ji Zhou Chen Clan has now obtained the legacy of The Vast Sea (Location), and naturally claims the ancestral lands of the Eastern Barrens Chen Clan as their own.

The thought of their clan having such a powerful backer filled everyone’s hearts with wild joy. The Chen Family Ancestor cast a glance at the mountain range suppressing Fang Xuanjing before speaking, “Won’t keeping Fang Xuanjing imprisoned here cause trouble?”

"No matter."

Eldrin shook his head before speaking, "That man's strength is hardly worth mentioning. With my Celestial Fire magic power, I've severely damaged his meridians. Given his level of cultivation, it would take no less than 3 100 years for him to fully dispel it."

Everyone nodded in understanding. Since Fang Xuanjing prided himself on his strength and sought to seize the Chen family’s foundation, Eldrin would certainly not let him off easily.

Were it not for the sake of the Longhe Immortal Alliance, Eldrin would not have spared his life. Though he managed to escape with his life this time, he suffered unprecedented devastation.

If the lesson of being suppressed for 60 years is still not enough, next time you will not be let off so easily.

To prevent the Mysterious Whale from escaping the mountain, Eldrin activated the array patterns once more, using spirit talismans to suppress the entire mountain range. This ensured the creature would remain trapped for a full 60-year cycle. Only then did he withdraw his magic power.

After completing all this, Eldrin looked at Patriarch Chen and asked, "How is Your Excellency's injury?"

"The injuries are of no consequence." Patriarch Chen shook his head, then smiled bitterly and said, "But the curse is vicious. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."

"Let me take a look for you."

Eldrin said, then channeled his Celestial Fire energy to probe into his meridians.

In just an instant, Eldrin felt an intensely vicious blood curse invade his being—1 that even his Celestial Fire mana struggled to eradicate.

In an instant, Eldrin furrowed his brow and withdrew his Celestial Fire mana.

"This is the Blood Transmutation Curse Seal."

Eldrin spoke solemnly, "This Blood-Cursing Divine Seal is 1 of Nero the Bloodweaver's supreme demonic arts—an exceptionally vicious curse technique."

Even a mighty True Cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage would find it difficult to emerge unscathed if ambushed by this curse technique.

Eldrin paused in contemplation for a moment before speaking. "Fortunately, when Nero the Bloodweaver activated the curse, he likely lacked both your birth characters and essence blood. Otherwise, I'm afraid even I would have been powerless to intervene."

"Do you have a method?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestor of the Chen Clan revealed an expression of ecstatic delight.

Eldrin nodded slightly, a faint movement flickering between his brows as he spoke, "Although my Celestial Fire magic power can refine the 'Blood-Cursed Divine Sigil', forcibly purging it would likely destroy your physical form."

"However, I can set up a Celestial Flame Demon Refining Array for you, which should gradually erode this curse—though it will require 3 100 years to complete."

Hearing this, the Chen Clan's Patriarch no longer seemed in a hurry.

He breathed a sigh of relief and cupped his hands toward Eldrin (Person Name), saying, "Please follow me."

The 2 ascended the Spirit Mountain, where the Chen Family Ancestor personally poured a cup of tea for Eldrin and said, "We owe our survival to your assistance this time. Without it, this old man would likely have met his end here."

"There's no need for that."

Eldrin (Person Name) remained composed and merely stated, "We are of the same lineage, after all. It is only natural that I cannot stand idly by in this matter."

Chen Linyuan took a deep breath and produced a luminous jade. "My lineage has fallen upon hard times, and we possess few treasures of value," he said. "This Wood Vein Spirit Jade is among our most cherished possessions. Please accept it as a token of our gratitude."

Eldrin watched silently. The Chen Clan of Mingxu Continent was not particularly powerful, and this Wood Vein Spirit Jade was likely the most precious treasure they had managed to accumulate.

At this thought, he pushed the Wood Vein Spirit Jade back and said, "Keep this treasure for yourselves. If you truly wish to express gratitude, bring me some of the 5 Elements essence instead."

"This matter is easily handled."

Chen Linjian nodded. Although the Chen Clan of Mingxu Continent was weak in strength, they possessed no small amount of 5 Elements Essence.

At this point, the 2 began discussing their respective developments in recent years. Upon hearing that the Chen Clan had risen to become a top-tier immortal family within just a few 100 years, Chen Linyuan couldn't help but sigh and remark:

"To my shame, I have painstakingly managed our clan for over 1 1000 3 100 years, yet still fall far short of your accomplishments."

The 2 conversed through the night, and through Chen Linyuan's information, Eldrin roughly deduced the origins of his own lineage.

Back then, the Chen family's surviving members who fled The Vast Sea (Location) numbered over a 100, most being prodigies at or above the Purple Mansion realm—each a potential Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, the Chen family's enemies, including Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name), secretly intervened. Although these several 100 people had fled in scattered directions, most of them still met their doom.

Even if Chen Linyuan barely survived, he fell under the curse of Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name). Chen Nianzi, the founding ancestor of this lineage, naturally also met his calamity.

The progenitor of the current Chen lineage was none other than the bloodline left behind by Chen Xuanming in those bygone years.

After understanding the entire situation, Eldrin had no intention of lingering in Mingxu Continent any longer. He set up the Skyfire Demon Refining Array for Chen Linyuan before preparing to take his leave.
