Chapter 119: The Chen Imperial Clan—I Will Definitely Go

Chen Tiancheng's hand glowed with green light, transforming into a palm-sized green jade disc.

"Drop a single drop of blood onto the Bloodline Jade Disc."

The green jade disc hovered in the air before the Chen family members as Chen Tiancheng spoke.

"I'll go first." Chen Changfeng took a deep breath and stepped forward without hesitation. He pricked his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, letting the crimson droplet fall onto the green jade disc. The blood spread slightly before gradually converging toward the center, condensing into a bead-like form.

"Good. You are indeed of the Chen bloodline. Unfortunately, you lack the Bloodline Divine Trait." Chen Tiancheng nodded, speaking unhurriedly.

Though he said "unfortunately," there was no trace of regret in his tone.

Chen Changhe, Chen Yue, Chen Cheng, and Chen Zhuang followed suit, each dropping their blood with the same result.

Generally speaking, when a lineage branches out and disperses over time, the bloodline becomes increasingly diluted, making the emergence of a Bloodline Divine Trait increasingly rare.

However, exceptions existed.

For instance, Chen Changkong's bloodline had undergone a sort of ancestral reversion, containing a latent divine trait that was later awakened by chance.

Such cases were exceedingly rare.

In contrast, members of the Ancestral Clan were far more likely to possess Bloodline Divine Traits due to the influence of cultivation environments, heritage, and other factors.

Finally, only Chen Feng remained.

Chen Feng used the Flowing Cup Sword to prick his finger and squeeze out a drop of blood.

The moment that drop of blood appeared, Chen Tiancheng's gaze sharpened, flickering with shock and disbelief.

The blood was an intense, flawless crimson, devoid of any impurities—like a pristine ruby—and pulsed with an astonishingly dense and vigorous life force, radiating scorching heat.

When the blood landed on the jade disc, it did not spread like the others. Instead, it shattered into countless tiny droplets that rolled across the surface before gathering toward the center, coalescing into a single ruby-like bead.

"Such astonishing blood..."

Chen Tiancheng couldn't help but inhale sharply.

From the moment he first laid eyes on Chen Feng, he had been captivated. Chen Feng's aura roared with power, his body shimmering with divine radiance and auspicious light—extraordinary in every way. Yet, Chen Tiancheng had sensed no trace of a divine trait within him.

It was baffling.

Now, witnessing that single drop of blood, his astonishment reached its peak.

What kind of foundation had Chen Feng forged in the Body Forging Realm to produce such incredible blood?

"At least the Thirteenth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm!" Chen Tiancheng murmured inwardly.

The Chen Ancestral Clan naturally had its own prodigies who had reached the Thirteenth Transformation, but Chen Tiancheng had a feeling that none could compare to Chen Feng.

As the blood rolled across the green jade disc, Chen Tiancheng observed it closely. Despite his amazement, a trace of indescribable disappointment surfaced.

(To be continued on the next page)

No divine trait!

Chen Feng's blood indeed contained an overwhelming, pure, and blazing power, confirming his Chen lineage—but it held no trace of a Bloodline Divine Trait.

"Young friend, did you forge a Supreme Body Forging Foundation?" Chen Tiancheng finally couldn't resist asking.

"Indeed," Chen Feng replied without evasion.

"But you possess no divine trait, nor is one hidden within your bloodline. How did you achieve a Supreme Body Forging Foundation?" Chen Tiancheng was utterly perplexed.

Based on his years of experience and common knowledge in the martial world, those with divine traits generally possess higher innate talent than those without. This meant that individuals without divine traits had lower potential and ceilings, making it nearly impossible for them to establish a Supreme Body Forging Foundation. Even breaking through to the Twelfth Transformation of the Body Forging Realm was extremely difficult, with negligible odds of success.

"Just luck," Chen Feng replied. Naturally, he wouldn’t mention the Divine Talisman Of Creation.

"Esteemed friend, the Young Master is the Sect Heir of our Huntian Sect," Yang Tao finally spoke up.

"The Sect Heir of the Huntian Sect!" Chen Tiancheng couldn’t help but exclaim.

"The Huntian Sect founded by the Huntian War Emperor?"

"Indeed," Yang Tao nodded.

"So that’s how it is," Chen Tiancheng said in realization. "Since he’s the Sect Heir, establishing a Supreme Body Forging Foundation isn’t entirely impossible."

In truth, Chen Tiancheng was unaware of the Huntian Sect’s current state and still assumed it was as powerful as it had been in the past.

"However, you are a member of the Chen Ancestral Clan who was lost outside. You should return to the family," Chen Tiancheng continued, feeling an indescribable joy in his heart.

This was a monstrous genius who had established a Supreme Body Forging Foundation!

Even though he didn’t possess any divine traits or the Chen family’s Bloodline Divine Trait, appearing as nothing more than a Mortal Body, the fact that a mere Mortal Body could achieve a Supreme Body Forging Foundation meant he was anything but ordinary.

The Chen family was indeed strong, but monstrous talents who established a Supreme Body Forging Foundation were still rare.

"Senior, I will definitely visit the Chen family in the Central Land—just not now," Chen Feng said solemnly.

He was deeply curious about this Chen Ancestral Clan, especially since his father was currently cultivating within it, and he missed him dearly. However, as the Sect Heir of the Huntian Sect, while enjoying its benefits, he also had corresponding responsibilities.

Instinctively, Chen Feng felt that now wasn’t the right time to go to the Chen family in the Central Land.

Though Chen Tiancheng very much wanted to take Chen Feng back to the Chen Ancestral Clan immediately, he had to respect Chen Feng’s decision.

A monstrous genius who had established a Supreme Body Forging Foundation, even without divine traits, would undoubtedly achieve great heights in the future—a surefire candidate for the Dao Integration Realm, or even the Sage Realm.

Of course, it was also because he sensed two formidable auras locking onto him from the shadows. Now he knew—those must be Dao Integration Realm experts from the Huntian Sect, acting as Chen Feng’s Guardians.

Two Guardians!

This alone demonstrated how highly the Huntian Sect valued Chen Feng.

"Very well. Just remember—you carry the blood of the Chen Ancestral Clan. You are one of us," Chen Tiancheng said with a smile. "You’re currently in the Aperture Opening Realm, right? I have a Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Aperture Pill here that can stabilize your acupoints and allow them to endure more rounds of internal energy refinement."

"Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Aperture Pill!" Yang Tao couldn’t help but gasp softly.

Chen Feng’s heart stirred. Judging by Yang Tao’s reaction, this pill must be extraordinary.

"Thank you, Senior," Chen Feng said, directly accepting the cyan jade bottle Chen Tiancheng handed him without hesitation.

"I hold the ninth seat among the elders of the clan. You may call me Elder Nine," Chen Tiancheng said with a smile. Though it might seem stingy to only gift a single bottle of pills, the value of the Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Aperture Pill was staggering. Had Chen Feng not established a Supreme Body Forging Foundation, he wouldn’t have been willing to part with it.

"This is my token. When you come to the Chen Ancestral Clan in the Central Land in the future, presenting this will grant you entry."

Chen Tiancheng took out another green jade token and handed it to Chen Feng. One side was engraved with the character 'Chen,' while the other bore the character 'Nine.'

Next, Chen Tiancheng presented some cultivation resources, techniques, and martial arts to Chen Changhe and the others. Unable to bring the entire Chen family branch back to the Central Land, he chose to support them in this manner.

"Many thanks, Elder Nine," Chen Feng and the other members of the Chen family expressed their gratitude.

"Is there anything you'd like me to relay?" Chen Tiancheng's gaze swept over them before settling on Chen Feng's face as he asked with a smile.

"Elder Nine, please come inside and wait a moment," Chen Feng said.

The group promptly wrote a letter, which they handed to Elder Nine to deliver to Chen Changkong.

"If there's nothing else, I shall take my leave," Elder Nine said after storing the letter away.

"Elder Nine, may I ask about the strength of the Chen Ancestral Clan?" Chen Feng inquired without hesitation.

"Our Chen Clan is an Imperial Clan," Chen Tiancheng replied with a smile. "As for the rest, you'll learn more once you arrive at the Ancestral Clan. You must come—the Central Land is far more exciting than the Eastern Wasteland."

"I will," Chen Feng answered decisively.

Nodding, Chen Tiancheng said no more. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of cyan light and soared away, vanishing beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Uncle Yang, do you know about this Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Aperture Pill?" Chen Feng turned his gaze to Yang Tao and asked.

"This pill is of astonishing value and has a tremendous effect on strengthening acupoints. Our Huntian Sect possessed some during its peak, though even then, they were rare. Now, we have none left," Yang Tao sighed. "As for its exact effects, Young Master will understand once you take it."

"In that case, I shall give it a try."

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed with anticipation as he immediately entered seclusion to consume the Dragon-Tiger Heavenly Aperture Pill.
