Chapter 82

Above the clouds.

The airship was flying at high speed.

The mountains and rivers below were rapidly receding, becoming blurry.

Chang'an stood at the bow of the ship, looking down, watching the people in his line of sight grow smaller and smaller...

Until the entire Chang'an City became incredibly tiny and then disappeared from his view.

This departure was different from his last trip to the Dongzhou Secret Realm; this time, he didn't know how long it would take to return.

Chang'an City, where he had lived for twenty years.

The Chen family, his home for twenty years.

"If Chen Xuantong is really my uncle, then who is my father?"

Chang'an was puzzled.

Every time he asked Chen Xuantong and the other elders, they wouldn't give a clear answer.

They said he would have to find the answers himself when he grew up.

"I have finally grown up!"

Chang'an whispered.

His gaze swept toward the direction of the Demon Burial Abyss, "I will definitely go in again to investigate and uncover all its secrets!"

Then he closed his eyes and slowly pondered the matters he would face next.

The Jun family!

The Tai Cang Sword Sect!

Although he wasn't sure if the family elders would secretly protect him,

he agreed to leave the Great Zhou to train himself, not relying entirely on the family.

A man must grow on his own!

"Chang'an, what are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Ji Xuangu walked over.

His voice became gentle.

The young man in front of him was only in his early twenties.

Looking in the direction of the Great Zhou, he seemed like a child leaving home, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He was completely different from the ruthless and decisive person he was in the Dongzhou Secret Realm.

"Senior Ji, do you know about the Central Region?" Chang'an didn't answer him but asked instead.

"A little."

Ji Xuangu's eyes became hazy, as if he was recalling something.

Then he sat down next to Chang'an, took out a flask of wine, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to have a drink?"

Chang'an thought for a moment and took a sip.

The wine was spicy at first, then rich and fragrant, lingering in his nose and leaving a lasting aftertaste.

"Truly worthy of being an ancestor of the Great Zhou, you really have good wine!

No wonder my Second Elder always goes to find you and Lord Duanmu." Chang'an laughed.

"Hehehe."

Ji Xuangu shook his head and said, "Your Second Elder's wine is the best, but unfortunately, I can't drink it."

"Oh? Why?" Chang'an asked curiously.

"He doesn't give it to me, and I can't beat him."

"Ha ha."

Both of them laughed.

An old man and a young man gazed at the vast clouds in the sky, drinking and chatting.

"In the Central Region, there are four holy places: the Tai Cang Sword Sect, the Qing Xuan Sword Sect, the Hundred Flowers Immortal Palace, and the Sun Moon Star Island."

"These four forces are located in places called holy lands!"

"Because those places have the four spiritual energy secret realms! They also have the best spirit stone mines and the best resources, and they have built their sects there!"

"So their sects' locations are the holy lands for cultivation!"

"Besides the four holy lands, there are four major families: the Jun family, the Ye family, the Gu family, and the Lin family!"

"These four families are also very powerful, and their clan territories naturally have spiritual energy secret realms."

"Besides the four holy sects and the four major families, there is the Human Race's Sword Court!"

"The Human Race's Sword Court is a branch of the Sword Palace, but its strength is not to be underestimated."

"You can see this from Mo Haichao's status.

So, the only one that can rival the four holy lands and the four major families is the Sword Court."

Hearing this, Chang'an's eyes gleamed with battle spirit.

"Great!"

Chang'an took a big gulp of wine, "Ha ha ha ha, Central Region, I'm coming, let's see the storms rise!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

Chang'an's four flying swords shot out at high speed!

In an instant, Chang'an stepped onto the flying swords, flying swiftly in the sky, laughing heartily.

Ji Xuangu looked at him with a look of satisfaction, "He's still a child, yet he has achieved so much, truly enviable."

...

At the same time, in the Chen family of the Great Zhou.

Chen Xuantong and nine clan elders were in a secret room, discussing something.

"Head of the family, are you sure the coffin that appeared beside Chang'an is the legendary God Burial Coffin?"

Chen Jiu asked solemnly.

The others also looked at him.

Chen Xuantong shook his head slightly, "I don't know, but how could it be?"

Chen Xuantong's eyes were filled with deep fear as he said solemnly, "According to records, the God Burial Coffin is the core source of cosmic disasters...

Even the divine realm would be greatly disturbed if they knew about it.

Such a great terror, how could it appear in this low-dimensional universe?"

"Indeed."

Chen Yi also said solemnly, "We want to create a true god, and Chang'an is our hope. We hope that the strange thing on him won't hinder our 'god-creation plan'!"

Chen Er stopped fanning with his goose feather fan, his eyes narrowing, "We are creating a god, but the God Burial Coffin is for burying gods... If Chang'an really has the God Burial Coffin... then..."

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with complexity.

The other clan elders also showed signs of worry.

"Head of the family, should we remove the God Burial Coffin from Chang'an?" Chen Jiu continued.

He had been Chang'an's protector the longest and had the deepest feelings for him.

"No."

Sitting at the table, Chen Liu, who was looking at the chess pieces in front of him, said solemnly.

His gaze was always on the chessboard in front of him, as if the chessboard was the starry universe, and the pieces were the beings of the world.

"Sixth Elder, have you seen anything?" Chen Er asked curiously.

"No."

Chen Liu's face gradually turned pale, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone was shocked.

"Sixth Elder, you can't even calculate the heavenly secrets?"

Chen Ba asked in shock.

"It's not that I can't calculate it."

Chang Liu said solemnly, "It's that there is nothing at all!"

He looked at the black and white chessboard in front of him, which was covered with complex Dao patterns, and contained profound Dao principles.

"Chang'an's destiny is not within the Dao, and there is no heavenly secret to be explored."

Chen Liu said in shock, "So, if we forcibly interfere with his hidden potential, it will only backfire."

Everyone fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Chen Qi said worriedly, "Sixth Elder, if Chang'an really has the God Burial Coffin, it's a terrifying monster, one that could destroy the world... Could he become a world-destroying demon?"

As he spoke, everyone in the room felt a chill.

"No."

At this moment, Chen Xuantong spoke, "We all know Chang'an's character; he is ruthless only when dealing with enemies.

And you have seen that his cultivation advances very quickly. If it were really due to the God Burial Coffin, it would affect his mind, making him kill indiscriminately...

But he hasn't killed those who are unrelated to him."

"That's right, in the Dongzhou Secret Realm, he only killed those who had conflicts with him." Chen Jiu nodded.

"Let's let it be, we just need to guide him properly."

At this moment, Chen Er spoke, and his goose feather fan started moving again.
