My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

But at this moment, Jiang Chen's heart was calm.

After all, he has now entered the secret realm only with his spiritual body, and his real body is still in seclusion in Guixu and cannot leave for the time being.

Therefore, I can only visit the Divine Phoenix Treasure House if I have the chance in the future.

And just when the three of them had reached a tacit understanding and the atmosphere was slightly relaxed——

[About to exit the secret realm of time and space]

[After ten breaths, we will return to the real world]

【Ten, nine, eight...】

Lines of golden characters appeared above.

The three of them looked at each other and bowed slightly.

Ling Junze was the first to speak: "Brother Jiang, Feng Qingli, Ling Junze will see you later."

As he spoke, seeing that the time was almost up, he couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen and said with a generous smile:

"Feng Qingli, a mere woman, has such courage. How can I, Ling, a member of the Nine Imperial Clan, be inferior to her?"

"Brother Jiang, if you pass by my Jiuyu residence in the future, don't just go to the Divine Phoenix Treasury."

"Come to my place, and I'll host a three-day and three-night banquet to welcome you! I'll also grant you the right to choose any four treasures from my Nine Imperial Treasure House!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Qingli turned her head and looked at Ling Junze with a hint of surprise.

She thought her "eight treasures" were an exception.

After all, she is the goddess of the Divine Phoenix and holds a high position, so she can make promises on behalf of the Divine Phoenix clan.

But Ling Junze is different.

Although he is a direct descendant of the Jiuyu Emperor clan, there is fierce competition within the clan and the position of the Son of God is still uncertain. If he rashly makes such a heavy promise, he will probably face a lot of trouble when he returns.

Such courage made Feng Qingli look at him with a higher opinion.

When Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled faintly:

"Will go."

"Whether it's the Divine Phoenix Clan or the Nine Imperial Clan—if there's an opportunity someday, I, Jiang, will certainly visit them."

As soon as the last word fell, the three figures suddenly disappeared in the golden light.

..........

at the same time.

The world of five realms.

Eastern Region, the eighth floor of Xuntian Tower.

A young man in black was sitting cross-legged.

He frowned, as if thinking about something. No one knew what he was thinking about.

On his right shoulder, a big fat gray and white cat was curled up, its tail sweeping across his clothes from time to time.

Suddenly, the big fat cat opened its eyes and moved its ears, as if it sensed something.

Then, it said lazily:

"Tsk, Xiao Yanzi, it seems your long-missed brother is...back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yan's body shook and he woke up instantly!

Then, he suddenly looked up and looked at Jiang Chen in front of him.

I saw my brother sitting cross-legged on the ground with his brows furrowed.

First, the eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then he slowly opened his eyes.

"Brother Chen!"

Jiang Yan shouted almost subconsciously.

But the moment he shouted it out, he was suddenly speechless.

Because he didn't know what to say.

I had been waiting for seven days and had a thousand words in my heart, but now in front of my brother, I couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.

"What are you...?"

Jiang Chen looked at his cousin in front of him, his eyes slightly dazed.

"You're just going to keep guarding me like this?"

When Jiang Yan heard this, an unnatural expression instantly appeared on his face.

But before he could answer——

"Ah."

Mao Xuan on his shoulder spoke lazily first: "Jiang Chen, I'm afraid you don't know yet."

"Ever since you entered the secret realm for seclusion, this brat has been practically inseparable for seven days. He's been squatting here, staring at you intently, even neglecting his cultivation."

"Tsk tsk, this brat, even this cat master can't stand it."

Jiang Yan's face flushed immediately, and he glared at Mao Xuan: "Master Mao, you——"

But before he could utter the word "nonsense".

A warm hand quietly fell on his left shoulder.

The force was not strong, but it fell steadily.

Jiang Yan was slightly stunned.

I looked up subconsciously and met those familiar eyes.

That is the tenderness and peace of mind that can only be felt from an older brother.

"Brother Yan," Jiang Chen said softly, "thank you for your hard work."

Five simple words.

But it was like a heavy hammer hitting my heart.

Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up and said, "I, I didn't do anything..."

"I just...just..."

He wanted to say that he was just worried, afraid that something might happen to his brother, that the Secret Realm of Time and Space was too dangerous, and that he wouldn't be able to wait for his brother to return...

But in the end, I couldn't say these words.

Because that big hand stayed on his shoulder the whole time and didn't let go.

"That's it, it's good enough."

Jiang Chen said softly.

Jiang Yan fell silent after hearing this.

The two brothers sat side by side on the Xuntian Tower.

The sky was dark and the night clouds were hanging low.

The wind blew slowly over the eaves, bringing a slight coolness, but it could not dispel the warmth in the two people's hearts.

a long time.

Jiang Yan suddenly turned around, looked at his brother, and asked curiously:

"Brother Chen, what did you experience in the Secret Realm of Time and Space?"

As he spoke, he scratched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm being nosy, it's just that you look... different now than usual."

"It's like... there's something very heavy."

Mao Xuan, who was standing by, flicked his tail and asked, "Yeah, tell me about it. When you came back this time, even I, the cat master, smelled something unusual."

One person and one cat, all looking over.

Jiang Chen looked at the night sky and slowly said, "In the secret realm of time and space, I went back three million years. Well, that is the era when Senior Human Emperor was still alive..."

He began to recount what had happened during the past seven days.

Become the leader of Luoyan City... Deputy City Lord... City Lord...

Under the attack of the demon army, from the first day to the seventh day...

At the end, Jiang Chen couldn't help but close his eyes and said in a complicated tone:

"Brother Leng, you had the potential to become a great sage, but you blew yourself up and died, just to give us a glimmer of hope..."

"Senior Cheng fought to the bitter end, burning everything to the ground. He sacrificed his life to protect all the people behind him."

"And there's also Senior Xuan Ge, and those Luoyan City soldiers. Even though they knew the disparity between us and the enemy and that they were very likely to die in this battle, they still fought resolutely to the very last moment, just to hold that line of defense..."

The voice is neither hurried nor slow.

But when Jiang Yan heard it, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

He seemed to see a bloody battlefield.

I heard shouting and roaring.

I saw those pairs of eyes on the city wall that were not afraid of death.

And Mao Xuan also fell silent.

It did not interrupt, but just lowered its head quietly, with its tail hanging behind it, and some unspeakable reminiscence emerged in its eyes.

"But..." Jiang Chen sighed suddenly, looking at the crescent moon rising quietly in the night sky, "It is precisely because of them that the human race can continue to this day."

“That’s why the Five Realms are so glorious today.”

“The sages are immortal, and their flames are unbroken.”

"This is the world they... left behind."

The words fell.

Jiang Yan opened his mouth, but in the end no words came out.

I just felt a slight stuffiness in my chest, as if something was blocking it.

Mao Xuan's body trembled, and his thoughts seemed to return to the days when he was with the Human Emperor...

In this silence.

Jiang Chen slowly turned his head, looked at Jiang Yan, and smiled faintly: "I have benefited a lot from this trip to the secret realm."

"I also brought you... a special gift."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm.

Swah——

A crimson flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of his hand.

"This..." Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment.

But soon, I was moved.

In fact, the gift itself is not important.

What’s important is that my brother didn’t forget his feelings even though he was in danger.

Thinking of this, in order not to disappoint the other party, Jiang Yan did not refuse, but immediately reached out, gently took the flame, and said solemnly:

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

The flame has just been acquired.

He felt a slight tremor in his body.

The next moment——

"boom!"

The Emperor Flame lurking deep within his body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably, as if it were touched by some kind of aura.

At the same time, golden fire patterns emerged from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, emitting tremendous power!

"This fluctuation..."

Jiang Yan's heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked up at Jiang Chen, his eyes full of doubts:

"Brother Chen, what on earth is this...?"

Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said, "Didn't you say that Emperor Yan's rank always stops at the Quasi-Emperor level?"

"And this thing—it's called 'Heaven-Burning Source Fire'."

"It's not suitable for you to control on its own, but it can be used as a supplementary material to be melted by other strange fires, thereby improving the grade of the fire!"

Having said this, he looked into Jiang Yan's eyes with a scorching gaze:

"So... as long as it's run properly, there's hope that Emperor Yan will break free from his shackles and reach a higher level."

"By then, you might be able to possess a true...Emperor Flame!"

As soon as the words fell, Mao Xuan's eyes lit up and his tail stood up with a "swish": "Good boy, Xiao Yanzi, this is a good thing!"

At this moment, Jiang Yan took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in his heart.

He never imagined that the special gift his brother mentioned would be so "special".

Then, he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Chen, this gift... is too heavy."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said softly, "You and I are brothers, no need to say more."

"If I were you, you would do the same."

"Moreover——"

He paused, a faint smile on his face: "The road ahead is still long."

"Ultimately, you have to rely on your own strength to find your way out of that situation."

“This is just a starting point.”

Jiang Yan nodded heavily: "I understand."

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that this silly cousin would make excuses again.

"That's good, it saves me from having to persuade you..."

Then, he thought about the fact that the other party had been guarding here for seven days without much rest.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but reveal a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Brother Yan, go and rest first."

"Once you have adjusted your condition, it won't be too late to try to fuse the Emperor Flame with the Burning Heaven Source Fire."

"What's more, this way, we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Jiang Yan was stunned.

Then he nodded and said seriously: "I understand. I will go back to Cangwu Mountain to adjust now."

"Yeah." Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

But just as Jiang Yan turned around, he suddenly turned back and asked, "What about you?"

"Me?" Jiang Chen chuckled, then turned his head and looked at the night sky. A captivating brilliance flashed in his eyes, "Of course it is - breaking through the realm!"

The moment these three words fell, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to become restless!

It turned out that he had gained enlightenment from a breakthrough to the Saint King in the secret realm of time and space.

Now, he only needs to think about it to cause the heavenly calamity to come, and thus overcome the calamity and become king!

Jiang Yan watched this scene, his eyes suddenly brightening, his face filled with joy: "Great! Brother Chen, you are finally going to take that step!"

But soon, he lowered his head slightly and swore secretly in his heart:

"Looks like I have to work harder..."

"Although it's difficult to catch up with Brother Chen at the moment, we can't be left too far behind!"

The thought flashed through his mind, and he did not delay any longer. He immediately left the Xuntian Tower and flew towards Cangwu Mountain.

Jiang Chen, on the other hand, turned into a stream of light and flew towards an empty and deserted place nearby, ready to trigger the heavenly calamity and break through the realm!

............

at the same time.

Outside the Guixu area, there is the residence of the Divine Phoenix Clan.

Feng Qingli's consciousness also broke away from the secret realm of time and space.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and just as she opened her eyes, she heard a majestic voice from her side:

"Li'er, how do you feel about this journey to the secret realm of time and space?"

He was an old man wearing a robe with golden patterns.

His identity is none other than the great sage-level elder of the Divine Phoenix Clan - Feng Yuance.

Feng Qingli looked up with a solemn expression.

"Reporting to the clan elders, Qingli's greatest gain from this trip to the secret realm is... obtaining a fragment of the Mysterious Crystal of Creation!"

"What?!" Feng Yuance's body shook violently, his eyes suddenly widened, and he almost thought he had heard something wrong!

But when Feng Qingli raised her hand and summoned the fragment of the Creation Crystal that emitted infinite divine light, he had no choice but to believe what he saw.

"This aura...is truly a fragment of the Mysterious Crystal of Creation!"

"This... this last fragment... has finally been found!"

At this moment, Feng Yuance was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

Immediately afterwards, his spiritual consciousness moved, and in an instant, he spread the news throughout the Shenhuang clan’s residence!

next moment!

The entire Divine Phoenix Clan was in complete shock!

Countless rays of light broke through the air, all of them were the elders and core members of the clan!

"What did you say? The last missing fragment of the Creation Crystal has been found?"

"It's on Qingli?"

"Take me there quickly!"

"That's the key to reforging the 'Burning Sky Phoenix Feather Spear'!"

Just as everyone surrounded Feng Qingli.

In the distance, a golden light broke through the clouds, and an overwhelming momentum swept over!

He was a majestic man wearing a purple robe with gold patterns, a divine crown on his head, and eyes like the red sun.

"Meet the clan leader!"

Everyone bowed in unison, their expressions extremely respectful!

The person who came was none other than the Patriarch of the Divine Phoenix Clan, the Quasi-Emperor—Zi Ling!

Feng Qingli also bowed and saluted: "Qingli, I pay my respects to father!"

Zi Ling nodded slightly, his eyes swept across the entire room, finally landing on the fragment of black crystal.

First take a look.

Then he used his spiritual sense to investigate carefully.

After confirming that this was what he had been searching for, he couldn't help but smile.

"It really is it."

"The last fragment of the Creation Crystal that our clan was missing... has finally been found."

Having said this, he faced the crowd and waved his hand:

"Pass on my order—within three days, mobilize the Divine Phoenix Heavenly Furnace and gather all the master craftsmen and formation masters in the clan!"
