Becoming Immortal in One Step - C109
Chen Shuang was not captured until Chen Chuyun made his move.
It was also because of Chen Chuyun’s existence that Chen Shuang was not tortured, but her acupoints were sealed, as well as her memories.
Afterwards, the Chen family used Chen Shuang’s plan to lure Lei Ao over, intending to capture him.
In the whole conspiracy, the only one who could be considered an outsider was Chen Chuyun. He didn’t care about capturing Lei Ao, he just wanted to fight with the legendary Divine Veins, that was all.
As for Chen Chuyun’s righteousness, Lei Ao also secretly admired him. The Chen family was not all shameless and despicable.
Lei Ao suddenly thought of something and asked, “I remember you said that Chen Chuyun might have some Divine Veins. What’s going on?”
“This …” Chen Shuang hesitated slightly and answered, “Actually, I don’t mean Chen Chuyun, but the whole Chen family.”
“What?” Could it be that the Chen family was once a Divine Vein family? ” Lei Ao was completely shocked.
“It should be, but I can’t be too sure. I only vaguely heard my father mention it once when I was very young.”
Chen Shuang revealed a pensive look. After all, she was too young at the time, and the impression she had of this matter in her memory was very vague.
She could only remember her father returning from a family meeting that year looking extremely depressed. After being drunk for a while, Chen Shuang could hear her father mumbling under her breath while taking care of him.
“If there is still a divine vein… “Who dares to look down on our Chen Clan?”
Just by this sentence, Chen Shuang was too young at the time and didn’t pay attention to it. Now that she thought about it, it seemed that the Chen family used to be a family with a Divine Vein.
However, for some reason, the Divine Veins disappeared.
During the Ancient Era, the Divine Veins Clan avoided disaster and the Buddhist Sect in charge was uprooted.
As a family that once possessed a Divine Vein, how could the Chen Family survive in this world? And in the Realm of the Gods, the weight of the Chen family was extremely heavy.
Since he couldn’t explain this point, Lei Ao suspected that the Chen family had once possessed a Divine Vein.
This sort of thing could not be stopped. Even if it was lost for a while, as long as there were still descendants left, there would be a day when it would awaken again.
He did not think that the enemy would let go of such a threat.
“There is actually a reason why the Chen Family was able to survive and become one of the strongest families in the Realm of the Gods.”
The change in Chen Shuang’s expression kept changing, as if she was struggling to tell Lei Ao the truth.
Seeing this, Lei Ao said, “There’s no need to say anything about it. Anyway, this is something that we must experience. As long as we are alive, the truth will eventually come to light.”
“I …” Chen Shuang wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a long while, he sighed and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to say it, but the grudge between you and the Chen family is too deep. I just hope that one day, when your Divine Veins are conquering the Chen family, don’t kill them all, and let the Chen family leave behind a trace of descendants.”
“What do you mean? The grudge between the Chen family and me isn’t that deep, right? The reason for the investigation was all because of you. Since you’re safe, then even if I go after that elder and that Saint Ruler, I won’t kill them all. ”
Pausing for a moment, Lei Ao looked at Chen Shuang and continued, “Moreover, you were once a member of the Chen Family and have the Chen Family’s bloodline with you. As long as we are not enemies in the future, I guarantee that the Divine Vein descendants will not act against you.”
“You don’t understand. I’m not talking about you, but all the descendants of the Divine Veins.” Chen Shuang shook her head and said, “Perhaps you can guarantee that you and your friends won’t act, but in ancient times, the hidden Divine Vein family still retained an unimaginable amount of power.”
“They are always waiting for the day they are reborn.”
“Once it rises, the God Realm will once again stir up waves.”
“At that time, the inevitable great calamity will engulf the entire God Realm.”
“Among them, other than the Immortal Region that would come after, more than eighty percent of the original inhabitants of the God Realm will be wiped out.”
“And the one who will bear the brunt of the attack will definitely be the Chen Family …”
“Also …” “The other seven great clans.”
“They are the so-called eight great families of the God Realm.”
Chen Shuang explained in one breath, but Lei Ao became more and more confused. “What grudge does the Divine Veins have with the Chen Family? What’s going on with that eight great families of the God Realm? ”
“The Chen Clan is only one of the eight great clans. The eight great clans refer to: Chen, Wu, Ouyang, male loser, Xiao, Leng, Chu, Zheng.”
“Actually, I don’t know much about these eight great families. All I know is that in ancient times, before the Divine Veins Clan hid themselves from the world, these eight great clans were once a branch of the Divine Veins Clan.”
“But then …” Chen Shuang looked at Lei Ao and sighed, “I believe you have already thought about it. The eight noble families betrayed the Divine Veins Clan and after that war, they were able to continue standing up for themselves in the God Realm.”
“Branch… No wonder you said that the Chen Clan possessed a Divine Vein. ” Lei Ao was indescribably shocked.
Chen Shuang continued, “I’m not sure about the truth behind the battle that year, but there’s one thing that is not a secret in the God Realm. As long as it’s something that was passed down from an ancient era, it’s recorded in all the sects.”
“What is it?” Lei Ao asked.
“At that time, after the eight great clans rebelled, the Divine Veins Clan was exceptionally furious. A few of them would rather give up the chance to hide from the world, pass through the layers of enemy formations and return to the God Realm to annihilate the eight great clans.”
“Due to the broken back of the Buddhist Sect, the Divine Veins Clan had the opportunity to evacuate. The Chen Family had recorded that a few of the top powerhouses among the Divine Veins families had ignored the enemy’s ambush and relied on their tyrannical strength to slaughter their way back to the God Realm, exterminating four of the eight great clans.”
“How many? “How many did you say?” Lei Ao was shocked once again.
He did not know who the enemy of the Divine Veins Family was, but he had a faint feeling that it should be related to the cultivation world’s Evil Emperor.
However, Lei Ao had always been wary of how strong these so-called enemies were. After all, they were people that even an expert of Du Xuan’s level had to treat with care.
Leng You once said that the enemies in the God Realm had all gathered together to purge the Divine Veins Family.
Du Xuan also said that because of the existence of the enemies of the God Realm, he didn’t dare to carelessly send his consciousness into the God Realm to search for the whereabouts of the Seven Ultimate Beast.
How could an enemy that Du Xuan is so afraid of be weak? Those who were able to detect Du Xuan’s soul consciousness, even if they couldn’t compare to Du Xuan, they wouldn’t be too far off.
However, Chen Shuang said that in the great battle back then, the Divine Veins Clan had only sent out a few experts before they easily traversed through the layers of enemy lines, slaughtered their way back to the God Realm, and even exterminated four of the traitorous families.
If these experts really did exist …
Didn’t that mean that they were experts on the same level as Du Xuan?
Lei Ao was so scared that he almost jumped up. Chen Shuang didn’t know much, she only told him that there was one among the few experts who represented the Nangong Aristocrat Clan.
As for the Ouyang Family from the eight families, they had been completely annihilated by this expert from the Nangong Family.
It was said that the Ouyang Family was a branch of the Nangong Family. That was why the Nangong Family couldn’t tolerate traitors. They even risked their lives to eliminate them.
As for the other few powerhouses, Chen Shuang was not clear about them. She guessed that they were probably related to the families that were destroyed, or perhaps those families were their branches.
“Then who was the one who came to destroy the Chen family?”
“It’s the Di Clan, but I’ve never heard of this clan before. I only know that at that time, there was an expert surnamed Di that massacred the Chen Clan alone.”
“Surnamed Di …”
Was there such a family in the Divine Veins? Lei Ao thought for a moment and shook his head in confusion.
“The Chen Clan is still here. Does that mean that the Divine Innate Expert surnamed Di died?”
“I’m not sure about that. I heard that other experts appeared and stopped the Emperor from escaping. However, the Chen family has always forbidden people from discussing these things. Even father doesn’t know much about it.”
He didn’t even know about the affairs of the main clan, let alone the other clans.
Lei Ao asked, “Of the eight great families, which four have been destroyed?”
“Wu, Ouyang, Gong Lun, Zheng, these four families have all been annihilated, leaving only Chen, Chu, Leng, Xiao, and Xiao families in the God Realm.”
Among them, ever since the battle that year, the Xiao family had luckily survived the massacre of the Divine Veins powerhouses.” Among those, ever since the battle that year, the Xiao family had luckily survived the massacre of the Divine Veins powerhouses.
“A traitor of the Divine Veins, if what you say is true, then the grievances between the surviving four families and the Divine Veins are indeed great. I can guarantee that my companions will not act, but I cannot stop the remaining descendants of the Divine Veins.”
Lei Ao stood up and looked into the sky for a long time before sighing, “My current strength is low, so I can’t guarantee anything to you. But don’t worry, as long as I, Lei Ao, am here, no one in the Divine Veins Clan can touch a single hair on your head.”
“If… If you were to fall out with another family member or comrade of your Divine Veins for the sake of protecting me and me, would you still do the same? ”
“Yes, I believe my companions will understand me. As for the others, although we all have God’s Veins in our bodies, if they want me to fall into the land of injustice, I will fight them to the end.”
Lei Ao answered with certainty, and his face revealed an imposing aura.
A man was born into the heaven and earth, how could he establish himself as an unrighteous and ungrateful man?
Chen Shuang had helped him escape calamity a few times. Moreover, she had desperately searched for his whereabouts in the mountains of the two realms when he was in danger. This favor alone was not something that could be casually erased.
If Lei Ao wanted to kill Chen Shuang, he might as well use his sabre to cut him off.
He wasn’t sure about the others, but he was sure that they wouldn’t do anything to Chen Shuang if they didn’t. With their personality, they wouldn’t even let a single hair on Chen Shuang’s body move.
He would repay kindness with kindness, and he would always be carefree. In fact, he was very loyal. Just by thinking back to back then, he could tell that the Evil Dao Alliance was being hunted down for the sake of a close friend.
Chen Shuang didn’t owe them much, but she gave up on the huge bounty and chose to help them escape. Just this point was enough for her to stand up for her.
Hearing Lei Ao’s answer, Chen Shuang’s haggard face revealed a bright smile, and her eyes flickered with light. Her long tensed nerves loosened, and she actually collapsed limply onto the ground.
“I’m so tired, let me rest for a bit.”
After saying this, Chen Shuang slowly closed her eyes.
From the moment she first saw Lei Ao, she felt at ease. She didn’t know why, but even with a Divine Vein, she still couldn’t be given this kind of safety.
Thus, even though Lei Ao’s strength had decreased, even though she was in a dangerous place like the Twin Realm Mountain, she still felt very safe.
It looked like she had suffered a lot these past few days.
Lei Ao sighed in his heart. He took out a piece of clothes and covered her up before sitting down to protect her.
Once upon a time, when Lei Ao escaped Sang Mo village because he killed Wang Ba, he was left with no way out. When he entered the Saber Sect, he also met with the same obstruction as the members of the Tyrant Sword Pavilion.
Chen Shuang’s situation was almost the same as his. In the God Realm, Chen Shuang did not allow her family to stay with them, even though she had joined an immortal-ranked power. Because of her, the entire God Realm had no other place to stay.
She did not have a divine vein, but anyone or anything related to a divine vein would receive the same treatment as the divine vein.
The God Realm had placed a bounty on Lei Ao and his unwillingness to kill.
Similarly, for Chen Shuang who had helped Lei Ao in the past, the God Realm chose to slaughter her completely to eliminate all the unstable factors.
The real cause of this war was the eight great clans. Now, it could be said that they were the four great clans.
These four families controlled a large portion of the forces in the God Realm. Only they were able to take out such a large bounty, and under their added bonus, the entire God Realm was thrown into a frenzy.
Especially those rogue cultivators who did not know the truth. Their goal was purely to obtain the treasures in the bounty, so they did not know the true meaning of the Divine Veins.
On one hand, Chen Shuang was worried for his safety. On the other hand, she no longer had a place in the God Realm, and Lei Ao was the only person she could trust.
How could a man of status ignore her under such circumstances?
Not to mention regressing, even if he were just a mere mortal, Lei Ao still wouldn’t let him go so easily.
The place where he would not stay in seclusion was very safe. It was because of the ferocious beast, the giant python, and the fact that it went out to hunt a few times a month, there were very few signs of life within a thousand miles.
Chen Shuang once asked curiously, why did Lei Ao choose such a dangerous place? And that giant python actually didn’t attack him.
Towards this, Lei Ao could only smile, take out the Heaven Punisher Divine Thunder Crystal and shake it.
Chen Shuang immediately understood.
From then on, the two of them lived together for more than half a year, sparring every day between sword techniques, striving to increase their strength.
During this time, a kind of indescribable feeling had been quietly born. It had been hidden very deeply in the bottom of his heart.
Both of them sensed it, but neither of them broke the piece of paper.
Two more months passed, and the cave that refused to stop closed up began to emit a golden light, accompanied by a few Buddhist chanting sounds.
The Buddhist chanting resonated in the minds of the two, as if recalling some ancient inheritance. They had entered a mystical realm.
It was hard to put into words. He just felt that, countless years ago, there was a part of the Yun family that was once powerful enough to shake the world.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud shout woke them up.
The secluded cave collapsed with a loud bang. A ray of golden light as bright as the sun shot out, following closely behind a powerful aura.
Lord Buddha’s Dharma Idol!
This was the second time he saw it. He had a stronger feeling than the last time. This supreme being not only possessed supreme authority, but it also possessed a powerful aura of oppression.
In a trance, under the influence of Buddha, their will to fight gradually faded and their minds became calm.
As the golden light dissipated, the Buddha’s Dharma Idol also began to grow blurry, and a familiar figure descended from the sky.
“Beautiful lady, it’s really fate that we meet as soon as we’ve come out of seclusion.”
Towards a brother that he hadn’t seen for over a year, he ignored Lei Ao’s existence and greeted Chen Shuang beside him with a smile.
“Damn you, you heartless baldy.” Lei was so proud that he picked up a stone and threw it at it.
“You’re the baldy.” He glared at her and suddenly exclaimed, “What’s wrong with your body?”
He hadn’t paid attention to this before, but now he couldn’t feel Lei Ao’s divine veins at all.
