Within the old city, that sword intent was not particularly powerful, but someone was paying attention to Chen Jiuyang.
"Nascent Soul stage? Heh..."
Lotus Mother, who was healing, received this news. She glanced at Ming Huatong and sneered, "Since he has exposed his location, you can go and interact with him when you have nothing else to do. Probe his background and see what kind of old monster he is."
"Yes, Granny."
What a joke, Nascent Soul stage? Chen Jiuyang's strength was definitely not that high.
Nascent Soul stage? Lotus Mother could crush him with a single finger.
Even Yan Fengyun, the reincarnation of the ancient Great Emperor with three thousand years of martial fortune, who had already reached the Emperor realm, could not do anything to her.
That strike half a year ago had made Lotus Mother feel the threat of death.
Immediately, she continued to heal and ponder the matter of the Eight Generations of Immortals.
Xi Butui, the chief constable of the Six Gates in Fengcheng, also saw that sword strike. Knowing that Chen Jiuyang was in the small bookstore diagonally opposite, he did not intervene.
"Such pure and powerful weapon intent, yet displaying immortal cultivation. Something is strange..."
However, within the Immortal Alliance, it caused some people to be shaken.
"That Chen Jiuyang, in his twenties, with no Immortal Alliance reincarnation mark, at Nascent Soul stage cultivation?"
"A gem from the common folk..."
"A genius..."
"Such a genius, with immortal cultivation, it's not advisable to make an enemy. Let's try to win him over."
The young master of the Feathered Ascension Sect, who had taken a liking to Yao Zixuan, went to seek an audience with his master, True Monarch Feathered Ascension, saying, "Master, please grant your disciple permission to marry Yao Zixuan!"
However, True Monarch Feathered Ascension was in seclusion and did not heed the young master.
The young master of the Feathered Ascension Sect gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger: "I will cultivate diligently and reclaim this humiliation!"
This matter soon reached the Chen family of Mount Shu.
After checking the blood lineage genealogy, they discovered that Chen Jiuyang was a clansman outside the five degrees of kinship of the Chen family of Mount Shu, a sudden emergence of a genius.
Chen Biandao, an elder of the Misty Rain Sect, drove towards Fengcheng.
However, the first to be shaken were the female companions Yao Zixuan, Ji Lengyue, and Qin Yourou.
"An immortal cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage in his twenties..."
The women had different thoughts. They thought they finally knew Chen Jiuyang's true strength, and while their hearts were shaken, they were also joyful.
"This little man is quite secretive..."
The Yao family, who had been arrogant for years, fell silent.
Ever since Yao Zixuan was accepted as a direct disciple by True Monarch Feathered Ascension, the Yao family had become conceited. Chen Jiuyang had not interacted with them in recent years, at most meeting Yao Zixuan. He had not even met Yao Qianhe.
Chen Jiuyang remembered the contemptuous glances the entire Yao family had given him when he visited them that time.
People are always pragmatic.
However, not many people came to Chen Jiuyang's Peace Bookstore to find him.
After all, Chen Jiuyang had beaten up the young master of the Feathered Ascension Sect, which meant he had offended True Monarch Feathered Ascension, who was at the Dao Integration stage!
Many people were secretly watching the show, waiting to see when Chen Jiuyang would die.
However, after waiting for several days, there was no movement. Chen Jiuyang continued to run his small bookstore as usual, sitting at the counter and reading.
No one came to trouble Chen Jiuyang.
Just then, Chen Biandao, an elder of the Chen family, arrived. Upon seeing Chen Jiuyang, he exclaimed in admiration, "Truly a rare talent."
Chen Jiuyang was not surprised to see Chen Biandao.
The Chen family had few internal geniuses and had always been suppressed by other forces of Mount Shu.
Chen Jiuyang and Chen Biandao chatted. Chen Jiuyang refused Chen Biandao's invitation to return to the Chen family of Mount Shu, but Chen Biandao was not angered.
Chen Jiuyang was still young and a genius who cultivated the immortal path. He had a long life ahead of him. When Chen Jiuyang needed the Chen family in the future, he would naturally return.
Chen Biandao also sent out news that Chen Jiuyang was a member of the Chen family of Mount Shu. This immediately caused some onlookers to retreat, and it also stunned the young master of the Feathered Ascension Sect.
So, this Chen Jiuyang also had a background.
What was initially a ripple of an event quickly subsided.
The Yao family became even more silent, but they could still hold their ground.
After all, Yao Zixuan was also a genius, now at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and would soon reach the Nascent Soul stage.
This was the Yao family's confidence.
However, after Chen Biandao reported the information back to Mount Shu, the Dao Integration stage ancestor of the Chen family in the Sacred Land of Mount Shu issued an order: "You shall stay there and open a shop. Return when Chen Jiuyang decides to return to the Chen family."
Chen Biandao had no choice but to stay and opened a calligraphy shop in the shop next to Chen Jiuyang.
With a commercial street full of clothing stores and jewelry shops, the addition of a bookstore and a calligraphy shop looked a bit out of place.
Chen Jiuyang paid no mind to the outside world and continued to cultivate diligently. His cultivation progressed rapidly, and if this continued, he would advance from the Void Returning stage to the Dao Integration stage in two years.
The joy of unlimited pill consumption was something others could not experience.
The reason for Chen Jiuyang's rapid cultivation progress was his possession of laws, supreme cultivation techniques, the resources of the Pure Yang Cave Mansion, and his cultivation experience from his previous life.
Most immortal cultivators, as they progressed, had to silently ponder how to walk their immortal path, which laws to refine and comprehend, and also busy themselves with resources, cultivation techniques, and many other factors.
In June of this year, Chen Yating graduated from university and found a job as a primary school teacher in Fengcheng.
Ordinary people like his younger sister Chen Yating still had to work hard to make a living and support themselves.
She also visited Chen Jiuyang's bookstore from time to time.
At the same time, in the past two to three years, Chen Yating had also learned that she would have several sisters-in-law.
This year, Yao Zixuan advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, Lin Yuexian reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Ji Lengyue reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, Qiu Yihan reached the middle stage of Golden Core, Qin Yourou also reached the middle stage of Golden Core, and Yun Jingbai emerged from Jixia Academy, seeking the Dao across the country, aiming to truly step into the Confucian path, showing the same momentum as when she comprehended the 'Primal Dao' at Jianfeng Mountain back then.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, Yao Zixuan could no longer cultivate solely within the sect; she had to start appearing and handling sect-related matters.
However, most of her activities were within Feng Province, dealing with the conflicts between the Immortal Alliance and the Human King system. After repeated confrontations, the conflict between the Immortal Alliance and the Human King system showed signs of being uncontrollable.
This year, Ming Huatong also opened a flower shop opposite Chen Jiuyang's bookstore.
"Does she like flowers that much..."
However, Chen Jiuyang's heart sank. Previously, Lotus Mother always brought Ming Huatong with her wherever she went, but now she had left Ming Huatong behind and disappeared without a trace.
It was to have Ming Huatong monitor Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang knew...
Lotus Mother had secretly colluded with the Five Great Sacred Lands and was preparing to ambush the Yan Emperor.
As expected, in November of this year, as snow began to fall across the Dragon Country, the Dragon Country was shaken.
The Yan Emperor was assassinated and severely wounded.
The assassin of the Yan Emperor was the leader of the Lotus Sect, Lotus Mother!
When Chen Jiuyang received this news, he sat at the entrance of the bookstore, his expression somewhat dazed: "It has been four years since I was reborn..."
