Woo woo woo…
Before Chen Xi could think about it, a desolate horn sound came from the ancient altar under the sky, stirring up the nine heavens and ten earths.
The sound of the horn seemed to come from ancient times, desolate, solemn, and sacred, like an eternal epic, telling the ancient and glorious past.
Suddenly, the heaven and earth were solemn and solemn, and all spirits were pious. Tens of thousands of Chen clan members saluted together and worshiped the sacred fire in the center of the altar.
The ancient ceremony, the solemn atmosphere, and the magnificent scene made Chen Xi feel shocked.
This is the ceremony of the Chen clan to worship their ancestors. A grand ceremony is held every 10,000 years to sacrifice the heroic souls and immortal inheritance of their ancestors!
However, as time passed, Chen Xi gradually became bored, because what was conveyed on the altar were all rules and regulations such as ancestral teachings and clan rules, and it was difficult for Chen Xi to be touched in any way.
After all, to the Chen clan, Chen Xi is an outsider after all, and he cannot understand the implications.
"Senior Brother Tang Xian, are these guests attending the ceremony from other Dao-protecting divine clans?"
Chen Xi asked through a message.
"good."
Tang Xian's eyes were fixed on the altar in the distance, but he quickly said through his lips, "Junior brother, do you want to know something about the Dao-protecting God Clan?"
"Appreciate further details."
Chen Xi was bored, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say with interest.
"There is no need to go into details about the origins of the Guardian God Clan. They are all innate gods born when chaos opened up."
Tang Xian knew everything and patiently explained, "However, these innate gods are also divided into different ethnic groups according to their bloodlines, and the Chen family is one of them."
"Today, in this mother nest of chaos, according to the size of the power, there are five upper-level tribes, sixteen middle-level tribes, and more than one hundred lower-level tribes in the same lineage of the Protector God Clan."
"Among them, the distribution of lower-level tribes is the most complicated. The ethnic groups live in chaos in different planes. The number of tribes ranges from thousands to as few as a dozen or so. It is difficult to classify them specifically."
"There are sixteen middle-level tribes. Each tribe occupies a separate area and has tens of thousands of members. The Chen family is one of the middle-level tribes. However, in the past ten thousand years, the Chen family has The power of the clan has gradually declined and is not as good as before. In terms of real power, it can no longer compete with the other fifteen tribes."
"And this superior tribe is the most powerful among all the guardian gods. Each tribe occupies at least three or more planes. Their clans are prosperous, with strong men and talented people. It is no exaggeration to say that although the power of each upper-class tribe is slightly worse than that of the Five Extremes of the Imperial Domain, it is definitely not far behind."
After hearing this, Chen Xi finally had a clearer understanding of the lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
If he hadn't come to the Mother's Nest of Chaos under the Mountain of Conferred Gods this time, he would never have been able to imagine that so many terrifying forces still existed in this world.
"However, regardless of whether they are upper-class tribes, middle-class tribes, or lower-class tribes, although they are constantly fighting internally, they all belong to the lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan. When fighting against foreign enemies, the power they exert is unimaginable. At least Even the five extremes of the Imperial Domain are afraid of it.”
Tang Xian continued, "If this were not the case, this Chaos Mother's Nest, and even the entire Mountain of Conferred Gods, would not always be guarded by the Guardian God Clan, preventing the forces of the ancient gods from penetrating in."
Chen Xi nodded: "That's it."
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand that the entire lineage of the Dao Protector God Clan, if all the tribal forces were added together, would be enough to sweep across the entire ancient divine realm. With such power to guard the Mountain of Gods, it is no wonder that this place has been regarded as a restricted area since ancient times. Very few people dare to take a step beyond this.
"Then what is the relationship between this lineage of the Dao-protecting God Clan and the Ancient God Realm?"
Chen Xi asked.
"Neither friend nor enemy."
Tang Xian thought for a while and then said, "Generally speaking, the Dao Protector Clan claims to be innate gods and they completely disdain to associate with the practitioners of the ancient divine realm, but they will not be hostile to them, because in their eyes, this chaos The Mother's Nest is the first-class monastic holy land in the world, the place closest to the way of heaven, and it has no interest in the ancient divine realm at all."
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and said in amusement, "No wonder since joining the Chen clan, those guys have acted like they are superior to others."
Tang Xian also mocked: "This is their common problem. After countless years of precipitation, it has long been integrated into their blood and cannot be changed even if they want to. But there is no doubt that the power of the Dao-protecting God Clan is indeed very powerful, and this must also be Admit it, otherwise they would definitely not be able to occupy the Chaos Mother Nest and survive to this day, and no one can shake their position."
After a pause, he continued: "In short, proud, arrogant, and powerful. These three words can sum up the nature of the guardian gods."
When Chen Xi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed easy to feel frustrated when compared with them. Regardless of talent, background, bloodline, inheritance... they are all blessed by nature. Outside cultivators simply cannot compare with them."
Tang Xian said: "Yes, there is no one in this world who can compare with the Guardian God Clan, but... it is hard to say what happens the day after tomorrow. Like you, like Senior Brother, like many descendants of the Five Extremes of the Imperial Domain, But they are not inferior to the guardian gods at all."
After a pause, Tang Xian continued: "The most important thing is that from the beginning of the chaos of the Three Realms, no one of the truly powerful innate gods is willing to stay in this mother nest of chaos for the rest of their lives, like the Chaos God Lotus and the Cangwu God. Trees... are all like that.”
Chen Xi had a deep understanding of this. At this moment, he even remembered that none of the truly supreme beings in the world seemed to be among the guardian clan of gods.
Like the Lord of Shenyan Mountain Fuxi, the Lord of Nuwa Palace, the Supreme Leader, the Dean of the Taoist Academy, and the Dean of the Theological Academy, who among them is not a supreme being that reaches the sky
"The Protector Gods are powerful, but they will never be able to get rid of the power of Heaven's way in their lifetime. Success is the way of Heaven, and failure is also the way of Heaven. They have received too many blessings from Heaven, but it is a kind of restriction. They want to climb and seek the ultimate end. , hope seems extremely slim.”
The familiar mocking look appeared on Tang Xian's lips again, "Everyone says that the Taishang Cult is a dog in the hands of Heaven. This metaphor can also be applied to the Taoist Clan. They were born here and practiced here. It is your duty to defend the Mountain of Gods for eternity, what is the difference between this and a watchdog?"
Chen Xi couldn't help but click his tongue. He never expected that Senior Brother Tang Xian, who was usually stern and taciturn, would talk to him so much at this time. He never expected that in his words, the Tao-protecting God Clan would be reduced to a watchdog-like role.
What made Chen Xi laugh and cry the most was that Senior Brother Tang Xian himself... was also a descendant of the Tao-protecting God Clan.
"If I hadn't tried my best to get rid of the shackles of the clan and pursue the true path, I might have been able to stay in this nest of chaos for the rest of my life."
Tang Xian looked happy.
Chen Xi couldn't help but smile knowingly. Although each of the descendants of Shenyan Mountain were unique in their own way, they all had one thing in common, which was to stick to their true intentions and never compromise!
At this point in the conversation, a majestic voice suddenly resounded throughout the world, attracting the attention of everyone in the room.
"Everyone, the sacrificial ceremony has ended, but next, there will be a grand event that will kick off."
The person who spoke was Chen Lingkong who stood in the center of the altar. He had his hands behind his back, his clothes were hunting, his expression was full of majesty, and his voice spread throughout the audience.
"This time, our Chen clan will select a clan heir from among the clansmen with Domain Lord realm cultivation to take charge of the clan power!"
Even though the news had been known for a long time, when Chen Lingkong announced it personally, it caused a stir in the whole audience.
The tens of thousands of Chen clan members showed excitement and were talking in low voices, because they knew that since they were selecting a successor, there would inevitably be a fight between dragons and tigers, which they had been looking forward to for a long time.
The guests who were watching the ceremony also showed concern. Ever since Chen Lingjun passed away without any reason and chose to reincarnate and rebuild, the position of the head of the Chen family has been vacant, and it has been difficult to choose a real leader.
Because of this, after Chen Lingjun left, the fate of the Chen family was also affected. The family power no longer had the potential to rise and prosper as before, but began to gradually decline.
But now, the Chen clan wants to select a successor to ascend the position of clan leader at this sacrificial ceremony, which naturally has unusual significance.
"Now, the tribesmen who participated in this competition stay, and the other tribesmen leave the altar quickly!"
Chen Lingkong announced in a deep voice.
Soon, tens of thousands of Chen clan members left the ancient altar within a hundred thousand feet like a tide, leaving only a dozen figures standing there.
After counting carefully, there are fifteen people in total, all of whom are in the Territory Lord realm, and their cultivation levels are almost all above the five-star Territory Lord!
If this were placed in the ancient divine domain, besides the five poles of the imperial domain, which force could have fifteen domain lords of this level
It’s almost impossible to find one!
It can be imagined from this that even though it is a middle-class tribe in the lineage of the Dao-Guardian Clan, the Chen family's heritage is by no means easily comparable.
At this moment, fifteen Domain Lord Realm experts stood on the empty ancient altar, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention.
Chen Daoyuan, Chen Qiushui, and Chen Xiaoyun, three overlord-like figures, also stood prominently among them.
"In addition, in this competition for the successor, a fellow Taoist who is closely related to our Chen family will also participate."
At this moment, Chen Lingkong changed the topic and his eyes were suddenly fixed on Chen Xi, "Chen Xi, are you ready?"
Uh-huh!
All of a sudden, all the eyes of the audience moved over and focused on Chen Xi, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
