"Aren't we going to Blue Luan City?"
"Let's go somewhere else first."
A question and a reply came from deep underground outside the city.
The golden carriage was wrapped in a halo of light. After it shrank, it was like a golden spike that shot straight into the depths of the earth.
Yu Yuan didn't hear the sound of earth and stone shattering. He knew that the carriage driven by Chen Langzhi should be a genuine heaven-grade artifact.
This artifact could travel through the earth.
"Little Brother Yu, you are indeed extraordinary."
Chen Langzhi, who was dressed in a green robe and didn't have a handsome appearance, looked like an ordinary middle-aged uncle. When he opened and closed his eyes, the light of wisdom seemed to shoot out from them. "If it were any other junior, I'm afraid that they would be anxious and restless if I changed the route without informing them."
After the initial shock, Yu Yuan quickly calmed down.
Chen Langzhi, who was carefully observing, could see that Yu Yuan had indeed become suspicious. From Yu Yuan's breathing, the subtle changes in his skin, and the spread of his spiritual sense, he knew that Yu Yuan was using his own method to silently investigate the surroundings.
But, he didn't act rashly and didn't immediately challenge him.
"You are an Elder of Chen Qingyan's family and also a Soul Ascension Realm great cultivator. No matter what you want to do to me, I can't control myself." Yu Yuan was actually a hoodlum. He grinned and joked, "In any case, I've already boarded your pirate ship. If you want to kill me, do as you please."
The reason he dared to say this was because he felt that with his relationship with Chen Qingyan, the Chen Family shouldn't want to harm him.
"Haha, Little Brother Yu, don't worry. Our Chen Family has absolutely no ill intentions towards you."
When Chen Langzhi's words came to a stop, the golden carriage seemed to pass through a defensive barrier of light and arrived at a strange underground land.
In the next moment, the golden carriage slowly and steadily came to a stop.
"We've arrived."
Chen Langzhi floated down. He stood in front of a 100 foot tall giant blue and black stone gate.
The stone gate's material seemed to be the same as the stone that was piled up in Blue Luan City.
Two unknown ferocious beasts were crawling on either side of the tall and wide stone door.
The Ferocious Beasts were carved out of black rocks. Each one of them was about seventy to eighty feet tall, only slightly shorter than the stone door.
The ferocious beast looked like a cross between a lion and a tiger. It had long wings spread out from its waist. The wings flickered with a cold and hard luster, like a black steel blade that could easily cut through gold and iron.
Looking at those wings, Yu Yuan felt uneasy. He felt that those wings could easily cut through his flesh.
As for him, he had always been full of confidence in the strength of his body.
On the surface of the stone door, there were extremely complicated and exquisite patterns. Spiritual energy and flesh aura surged inside of it.
With a confused look on his face, Yu Yuan got off the golden chariot and stared at the enormous stone gate and the two strange beasts. He and Chen Langzhi looked strangely small in front of the gate and the beasts.
"There's another city beneath Qingluan City?"
Yu Yuan pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he understood something. His mind was slightly shaken. "The surface of Green Phoenix City is the Green Phoenix Empire's outside, while the underground city is the Chen Family's inside?"
The Green Phoenix Empire didn't seem to have been established in the Qian Xuan Continent three hundred years ago.
This empire was only established because the Chen Family produced Princess Qing Luan. Because of Princess Qing Luan's sudden appearance and meteoric rise, the Green Phoenix Empire was established.
After another hundred years of war, the Green Phoenix Empire became one of the six great empires.
Then, Princess Qing Luan used another hundred years to make the Green Phoenix Empire the strongest empire.
Yu Yuan only knew that the empire on this land was called the Sky Bearing Empire, and that there was a family in the Sky Bearing Empire called the Chen Family.
Three hundred years ago, the Sky Bearing Empire wasn't the strongest in the Qian Xuan Continent. The Chen Family was only a small family in the Sky Bearing Empire, just like the Yu Family in Dark Moon City.
It was purely because of Princess Qing Luan's appearance that the Chen Family rose to power and made the Sky Bearing Empire a thing of the past.
For example, the Demon Moon Empire was born from the Silver Moon Empire, and the Green Phoenix Empire replaced the Sky Bearing Empire and successfully established a kingdom on this land.
"Little Brother Yu, you are indeed smart."
Chen Langzhi praised again and pointed at the tall and wide door. "You are right. Outside of Green Phoenix City is the Green Phoenix Empire's Green Phoenix City. Of course, Green Phoenix City also belongs to the Chen Family. But below Green Phoenix City is the foundation of our Chen Family! It is the place where our clansmen and guest elders of the Chen Family cultivate, move, and interact with each other. "
After a slight pause, he continued, "The outside of our Chen Family is called the outer city, and the underground is called the inner city of Green Phoenix City."
"The inner city of Green Phoenix City." Yu Yuan smiled. "Senior Chen really thinks highly of me. He actually led me to the inner city of your Chen Family. Is it that person from your Chen Family who wants to see me? "
"You will find out soon." Chen Langzhi smiled mysteriously.
He put away the golden chariot and strode forward to lead the way. Just as he was about to reach the giant, cyan and black gate, the cold, deep eyes of the two beasts that were crouching there suddenly shot out bright, spirited light.
The two unknown ferocious beasts looked at Chen Langzhi and recognized his identity.
Rumble!
The tall and wide stone door, which was tightly shut, slowly opened inwards.
"Let's go."
Chen Langzhi laughed heartily. The moment the stone gate opened, he led Yu Yuan into the inner city with light footsteps.
Yu Yuan quickly followed. He was also filled with curiosity towards the inner city of Green Phoenix City.
In this life, he had heard too much about the Green Phoenix Empire and the number one family of the Qianxuan Continent — the Chen Family. However, he really didn't know that there was another world beneath Green Phoenix City.
Stepping inside, Yu Yuan's vision suddenly opened up.
The inner city of Green Phoenix City had wide streets. There were actually many pavilions built on both sides, but they weren't particularly tall. They were usually only three to five stories tall.
Looking up at the sky, there were grey clouds floating in the air. Under the clouds, there were pearls shining brightly like stars.
With his eyesight, he could tell with a single glance that the hovering gray clouds should be a unique magic artifact, a dome created by a formation. It should be able to isolate the penetration of soul sense, preventing even great cultivators from paying attention to this place.
"Uncle Zhi!"
"Ah Zhi!"
There weren't many people on the street. Instead, there were people poking their heads out from the pavilions on both sides of the street. The younger generation of the Chen Family called him "Uncle Zhi". The older generation of the Chen Family called him "Ah Zhi".
Everyone had a smile on their faces and seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Yu Yuan took a deep breath and felt the abundance of Spiritual Qi. He looked carefully and found that the walls of the pavilions on both sides were engraved with formation patterns that gathered Spiritual Qi.
The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the inner city was already richer than in other famous mountains and lakes. With the help of the spell formation, the pavilions in the inner city were all independent cultivation rooms, which allowed the Chen Clan members to condense their spiritual power at a faster rate.
Yu Yuan faintly felt that this underground inner city might be able to compete with a cultivation paradise like the Spirit Void Sect.
"In the Qianxuan Continent, there aren't many places with dense Spiritual Qi. Other than the Desolate God Great Lake, there's only the Wasteland that has recently become famous. There's no other way. This is the Haoran's restriction on this continent. " Chen Langzhi greeted the Chen Family members and explained to Yu Yuan, "The reason why this city is so rich in Spiritual Qi is because of the piles of Spiritual Stones."
Speaking of this, his face was full of pride, "Other than the Three Great Sects, the Devil's Palace, the Goblin Temple, the Tongtian Trading Company, and the Medicine God Sect, our Chen Family is the richest power in the Haoran! The Qing Luan Empire is the strongest power on this continent and occupies the most fertile land. There are many Spiritual Mountains and mineral veins on this continent. "
"In order to benefit the people, Her Majesty the Empress can be said to have given everything!"
Yu Yuan nodded secretly. He couldn't help but think more highly of the legendary Princess Qing Luan.
In the history of the Qianxuan Continent, there were many famous emperors, such as the Heaven Shaking Emperor and the Heaven Holding Emperor. They were all heroes who left a deep impression on the foreign races.
However, someone like the Green Phoenix Empress who rose up like a shooting star as a woman was really the first.
She only used two hundred years to make the Chen Family the number one family on the Qianxuan Continent and the Qing Luan Empire the strongest empire on the Qianxuan Continent.
Moreover, she was deeply trusted by the Three Great Sects of the Tianyuan Continent. When she was refining her Sun Spirit, it was the Three Great Sects who invited her to the Tianyuan Continent.
The experts of the Three Great Sects also secretly protected her and did their best to protect her.
There was no one else in the world who could be so important and treated so well by the Three Great Sects as a woman!
"If everything goes smoothly, Her Majesty the Empress should be able to form a new Primordial Spirit within three hundred years!" Chen Langzhi smiled brightly, "The great cultivators of the Three Great Sects all think so. This is why the Chen Family's position is so high and so stable on the Qianxuan Continent. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he led the astonished Yu Yuan to the front of a five-story pavilion.
He gently knocked on the door.
Yu Yuan's emotions were still surging. Because of Chen Langzhi's words, he admired the Chen Family and Princess Qing Luan even more.
She used two hundred years to create the Chen Family and the Qing Luan Empire, and she had a chance to form a Primordial Spirit in three hundred years. Such a person, such a peerless genius, it was no wonder that the Three Great Sects had chosen her.
"Creak!"
The stone door opened by itself. Chen Langzhi's smile disappeared and he led Yu Yuan in with a serious expression.
"Wait a moment."
Inside the room, a person's back was facing Chen Langzhi and Yu Yuan. His hands were wide and bright, and his entire body seemed to be carved out of brilliant diamonds.
A demonic beast showed its true form and filled more than half of the room. The array patterns on the walls flowed like water.
Surging demonic energy filled the room, and not a trace of it could escape.
The person whose back was facing Yu Yuan and Chen Langzhi was skinning the demonic beast with his hands like the most precise carving knives. His smooth movements made this bloody process pleasing to the eye.
Not long after, the person dug out a still-beating demonic heart from the demonic beast's chest. Holding it with both hands, he said casually, "It's finally done."
He turned around and smiled, "We meet again. I'm Chen Liangquan. I've been to the island at the center of the lake."
