Chapter 1411
"Stone, go and see if the rats are gnawing on the things again. These wretched rats are such a nuisance."
"Stone? Stone?" The boy closed his eyes, imagining himself obtaining treasures in a place of great opportunity. He called out several times but received no response from the stone, so he opened his eyes.
However, at this moment, he saw that the stone, as if it were a sculpture, was turning its head and staring wide-eyed at a wooden plaque at the top of the long table against the wall behind it.
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?"
The boy muttered to himself and turned around, but when he saw that one of the ten life tablets representing the tribal immortals on the table was broken in two, he gasped, his eyes bulged, and he stared blankly.
"Fate, fate... The life tablet is shattered... The immortal ancestor is dead!!" The boy seemed to have witnessed the most unforgettable scene of his life, and he didn't even have time to react. He just stammered.
"How is this possible? How could an immortal die?" The dark-skinned boy finally came to his senses, his face as pale as paper. They rarely saw immortals, but today they witnessed the immortal's life tablet shatter.
The broken life tablet, soul lamp, and life talisman all represent the presence of a soul or life force that remains, which only happens when the person dies.
The two men, realizing what had happened, looked extremely grim. They then rushed out of the palace and headed towards the tribal main hall.
In Qingtian County, Qinglong Mountain Range, within a rented secluded residence within the territory of the God-Slaying Guard's Immortal-Slaying Hall.
Chen Xuan's expression was also very grim as he watched the soul of Nalan's original immortal being dissipate.
"This is the third soul to dissipate, and they still refuse to let me forcibly search their soul!"
Chen Xuan never expected that the Nalan clan, these ordinary rogue immortals and earth immortals, would have such backbone. Upon discovering that he wanted to search for the whereabouts of the Nalan mining area and the place where his disciple Jiang Linglong was imprisoned, they would rather die than let the information leak out in the slightest.
It wasn't entirely due to his backbone; rather, Chen Xuan needed to unleash his full power to suppress the soul and primordial spirit during his soul-searching. Without relying on extraordinary phenomena to manifest his master's Dharma form, he suppressed five rogue immortals and earth immortals with his youthful body alone, deeply frightening the Nalan clan immortals.
They knew all too well that their tribe had tormented and killed no fewer than 70 to 80 million indigenous people over the years, and that such hatred was difficult to resolve.
Therefore, upon learning that Chen Xuan, at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, could sweep them away, they would rather perish than reveal the secret in order to preserve the tribe's survival.
"I refuse to believe it." Chen Xuan's main body and second primordial spirit worked together to extract the souls of the last two Nalan clan elders who were imprisoned.
"Zeng Niu, you... how could you possibly have such strength?" The short, stout old man's expression changed drastically as he felt the pressure of the Great Dao Domain Realm emanating from Chen Xuan. "Impossible, how is this possible?"
Chen Xuan said coldly, "I only want to find my clansmen and disciples. Now I'm going to search your soul. If you don't want your soul to be scattered, don't resist."
"Hahaha!!!" The Ninth Elder laughed maniacally, "Truly a junior from the natives!"
He looked at Chen Xuan as if he were a fool, "Do you know why my Nalan clan has been able to stand tall in this great world for hundreds of thousands of years? Do you think I would be afraid of death and let you obtain my clan's high-level secrets?"
“Zeng Niu, you underestimate cultivators and our belief in the survival and continuation of our tribe. In this siege against you, apart from one person who is the true body, the rest are all second primordial spirits. Even if we all die, the true bodies will still survive.”
Chen Xuan's face was grim; this was the benefit of cultivating a second primordial spirit.
“Zeng Niu, remember this: even if you transcend tribulation and become an immortal in the future, don’t even think about destroying the Nalan clan. If you make a move, His Majesty will step in to stop you.”
"When our ancestors joined forces with the Xuanxiao and Beishan clans to conquer this realm, they established an ancient alliance, promising to lend a helping hand to any one of them in need."
"Moreover, compared to other things, the support that our clan's hundreds of millions of high-ranking members provide to His Majesty is far beyond what ordinary celestial beings can offer. Do you really think you can destroy the Nalan clan?"
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, knowing that this person was no longer of any value to interrogate. He directly summoned the Soul Banner and, before the soul could disintegrate, took it into the banner to suppress and refine the great evil.
The main body had just suppressed the soul of the short, fat old man when the second primordial spirit almost simultaneously completed the process.
"The fifth Nalan clan Earth Immortal soul also chose to disintegrate on its own... Is this the awareness of a tribal cultivator with a lineage spanning over 100,000 years?" After this battle, Chen Xuan gained a new understanding of the resilience of tribal lineages.
Feeling disappointed at having gained nothing, Chen Xuan had planned to interrogate his clansmen within a month to find out their whereabouts and then launch a surprise attack to rescue them as the Immortal Destiny Conference approached. However, things didn't go as planned.
He frowned and pondered: "Back in the ancient Immortal Realm, I saw scattered scenes of mining areas in the memories of Nalan Fengming and the other two."
"But the Xuanxiao World is vast. The Taiqing Palace of Qingtianchen alone is a small grotto opened up by a rogue immortal. With a celestial immortal in charge, the Nalan Clan can easily open up a small space to hide people. It is too difficult to deduce and trace them based on just a few scattered images."
"And the Immortal Destiny Conference is less than a month away..."
Chen Xuan brought up the system panel and looked at the opportunity for divination and enlightenment rewarded by the system after breaking through a major realm. In the end, he still held back.
Now, every major breakthrough is comparable to a life-or-death ordeal, and he knows that this opportunity for enlightenment and deduction should not be used lightly.
Enlightenment through the Enlightenment Tree is merely a conventional method, while the system rewards opportunities that include enlightenment and deduction. Although he and his master, Master Qiandao, both possess the Great Dao Domain Realm, the power of their swords differs by nearly two to three hundred thousand years of cultivation.
The root of the gap lies in the fact that Chen Xuan has not yet integrated the five major Daos he comprehended into the Dao of the Sword. This is not a matter of aptitude, but rather that he has no time for seclusion—his disciples are being tormented, and his clansmen are being exploited; how could he dare to remain secluded for long?
Chen Xuan understood that only by becoming strong enough and displaying extraordinary talent could he gain the favor of Emperor Xuanxiao and ensure that the higher-ups would not take sides when facing the Nalan clan in the future.
"You think you're so great at fighting? What are you even capable of? In this world, it's all about connections." The words of Brother Zhijie from his past life resonated with Chen Xuan.
After learning of the alliance between the Xuanxiao leadership and the Nalan clan, he had a clearer understanding of the current situation: "At this Immortal Destiny Conference, I must prove my worth and significance in order to truly compete with the Nalan clan!" Chen Xuan secretly vowed.
