Three days later, at the Chen Family Ancestral Shrine!
Jiang Chen followed Chen Lu and arrived at a secluded part of Mount Dong Chen. There were a lot of guards and guards in the surroundings. It seemed like this place wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"It seems there's an unspeakable secret in the Chen Family Ancestral Shrine. That Ye Tiannan probably came for your treasure. I'm curious, just what kind of treasure does the Chen Family have that even a half-step cosmic cloud state would want?"
Jiang Chen said with a smile and looked at Chen Lu.
"I don't know either. Only my grandfather and the elders seem to know about it. Even my father just found out about it."
Chen Lu said.
"Little friend Jiang Chen, don't tell me you're also coveting our Chen family's treasure?"
At this time, Chen Batian appeared beside Jiang Chen.
"Umm, you must be joking, Senior."
Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled.
"Then why don't you marry into our Chen Family? Perhaps you'll have the right to our treasure too."
Jiang Chen was stunned by Chen Batian's words, but Chen Lu's face instantly turned red.
"Father, what are you talking about?"
"Hahaha, I'm just joking. Little friend Jiang Chen, you're the great benefactor of my Chen Family. Without you, Mount Dong Chen would've been long gone. Furthermore, you're so powerful that I don't deserve the title of 'senior'. Don't call me that anymore. Just call me Chen Batian."
Chen Batian said.
"I'm of the same generation as Chen Lu. You can afford to call me Senior."
Jiang Chen smiled. Chen Batian was very fond of Jiang Chen. How could he not see his daughter's thoughts? If his daughter could be with Jiang Chen, it would be a match made in heaven.
However, it seemed that Jiang Chen had ulterior motives. He didn't plan to do anything with Chen Lu at all. He even planned to leave Planet Tian Chen. This made Chen Batian a little disappointed.
"Let's go. It's our honor to have Jiang Chen participate in our Chen Family's ancestral worship ceremony. Everyone in Mount Dong Chen is grateful to you."
Chen Batian walked in front and quickly entered the mountain.
"Big Brother Jiang Chen, don't think too much about it. My father just likes to joke around, and he doesn't think twice about it."
Chen Lu stuck out her tongue. Her pretty face was flushed red, making her look extremely cute.
"It's fine, I know."
Jiang Chen nodded his head. However, Chen Lu didn't feel good in her heart. She was deeply in love with Jiang Chen, but their fates were shallow. Maybe in the future, after this ancestral worship ceremony, the two of them would be separated. It was unknown if they would meet again in the future.
Jiang Chen followed the Chen Clan. There were over a thousand of them as they entered the mountain. The mountain was extremely spacious. The entire mountain seemed to have been hollowed out.
The moment they entered, they saw four words — Chen Clan's Ancestral Shrine!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel bewildered. This Chen Clan's Ancestral Shrine gave off an extremely terrifying pressure. This place seemed to be a terrifying place of refinement, extremely tyrannical.
If only Da Huang was here. He would definitely be able to see through this place.
Jiang Chen tried to use his Natal Astral Soul to cover it, wanting to find out more about it. However, his Natal Astral Soul was blocked outside. There was no way for him to find out what the Ancestral Shrine looked like, and what kind of existences resided inside.
There were a total of nine ancestral shrines. This caused Jiang Chen to be surprised. In the Chen Clan's ancestral shrine, there were nine ancestors. The Chen Clan's First Ancestor, Second Ancestor, Third Ancestor, all the way to the Ninth Ancestor. Every ancestor had their own ancestral shrine. Logically speaking, if it was like this, the clan should have split up long ago. However, this was the first time he saw nine ancestral shrines side by side.
The surroundings were extremely spacious, able to accommodate over ten thousand people. Although a thousand people wasn't a small number, it was nothing compared to this place.
Chen Feng led the way. The nine people around him had solemn expressions on their faces. At this moment, Jiang Chen was looking at this scene with interest.
"Ancestors of the Chen Clan, Mount Dong Chen has encountered a great calamity. Fortunately, Little Friend Jiang Chen is here to rescue our Mount Dong Chen from danger. If not, the calamity of Mount Dong Chen would definitely lead to our annihilation. Fortunately, we're still alive today. Hence, we're here to pay our respects to our ancestors. "
Chen Feng's expression was solemn as he stared at the nine great halls. His heart was filled with reverence.
"First bow! Pay respects to our ancestors, may the weather be favorable! "
"Second bow! Pay respects to our ancestors, may our ancestors protect us forever! "
"Third bow! Pay respects to our ancestors, may our voices resound! "
Chen Feng was the first to kneel down. Following him, the rest of the Chen Clan followed suit and kowtowed heavily. Three bows, three kowtows.
At this moment, Jiang Chen saw that all the ancestral statues in the Chen Clan seemed to have become extremely life-like. Some of them even opened their eyes. Jiang Chen shook his head. He initially thought that he had seen wrongly. However, he discovered that it was indeed true. All nine ancestors of the Chen Clan had opened their eyes.
"There seems to be something strange about this Chen Clan's ancestral hall."
Jiang Chen said in a low voice. When he looked at Chen Lu and the others, he found that their faces were filled with sincerity. When he looked at the nine ancestors of the Chen Family, he found that the statues were still the same as before. Jiang Chen was sure that these statues were alive and had their own spirits. His eyes couldn't be wrong. Jiang Chen's eyes couldn't be wrong.
"End of the ceremony!"
As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, all the members of the Chen Clan stood up.
"That's it?"
Jiang Chen looked at Chen Lu and asked in a low voice.
"Not yet. Later on, it will be the time for our Chen Clan's ancestor to select the brightest. The ancestor's choice is to select a peerlessly talented and wise person to be the Heaven's Chosen Son of the Chen Clan. The Heaven's Chosen Son of the Chen Clan has the same bloodline as the ancestor. This is something that countless people would envy. If someone is chosen by the ancestor, he or she would have the chance to enter the Chen Clan's ancestral ground in the Eternal Night Star and receive true nurturing. At that time, our Chen Clan will truly rise."
Chen Lu said with a little excitement.
To her, this was also a kind of yearning. Jiang Chen could see that Chen Lu's eyes were filled with pride. She also wanted to be chosen. The ancestor's selection was absolutely fair. Only the most talented person could enter the ancestral ground and become the elite of the Chen Clan.
"I didn't expect that the Chen Clan here is just a branch of the Chen Clan in the ancestral ground. Seems like I'm too narrow-minded."
Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
"The ancestor's selection is far from easy. First of all, it's a selection of talent. If you're strong enough, have enough potential and perseverance, you can also be chosen. However, the chances are very slim. In the past hundred thousand years, I heard from my father that only a few people have entered the Chen Clan's ancestral ground."
