Hearing Chen Jiuyang's words, everyone's expressions couldn't help but move.
To go to the forbidden land to avoid the world and wear down karma.
Recalling that more than a month ago, Chen Jiuyang had called all his relatives to him, and they had not yet reappeared, it was likely related to preparations.
Emperor Yan's expression was solemn: "You are willing to give up this golden age. With your talent, you should be able to contend for the position of Great Emperor."
Chen Jiuyang slowly shook his head and said, "I can only become a Great Emperor in a different way. Otherwise, once I walk the ancient path of the Great Emperor and contend for the position of Great Emperor, prosperity will lead to decline, and all my relatives will perish."
"I am here today to find you, to ask you to make preparations in advance. You might be able to go to Qingzhu Town. That region is remote and suitable for recuperation."
"If you achieve enlightenment, when I emerge from seclusion, I will return home to find you."
"Remember, remember, if your martial arts are not successful, then switch to immortal cultivation to exchange for lifespan. With the long years, there will always be opportunities for longevity."
Emperor Yan, Yan Hongming and his wife, and Ye Tiannan and his wife, upon hearing Chen Jiuyang's words of final arrangements, couldn't help but feel a bit sad. Even a peerless genius like Chen Jiuyang had to avoid the world. The further one walked in martial arts, the truly difficult it became.
"Qingzhu Town, I remember that Palace King and the others went there." Emperor Yan looked at Chen Jiuyang and pondered, "Jiuyang, do you have any other instructions?"
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "I do have a personal request, and I trouble you all to complete it for me."
As he spoke, Chen Jiuyang took out two jade slips: "After I enter the forbidden land, when I appear in the next life, I will not be able to emerge without the destiny of the current era to support me. Therefore, I plan to leave behind my legacy to prepare for my future emergence."
"This first one is the legacy of a divine doctor, which can be used to treat illnesses, save people, and refine pills."
"You can also cultivate it and pass it on to suitable individuals."
The few people's eyes brightened, and they slowly nodded. In the past, Chen Jiuyang had risen to prominence with this legacy when he was still insignificant.
The legacy of a divine doctor, to benefit the world, this legacy is naturally incredibly precious.
"The second one is the legacy of my martial arts, of course, it is a simplified version."
"You can pass it on to those who are fated, and it would be best to establish a sect."
Emperor Yan smiled and accepted the two jade slips: "Your contingency plans are truly thorough."
"Alright, I will find suitable individuals to pass on your legacy and preserve a portion of your current era's destiny for you."
Chen Jiuyang cupped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Emperor Yan."
"Now, I have already dispatched an ancestor to Fengcheng to take charge. You can pack your belongings and set off for Qingzhu Town. The journey should be without incident."
Yan Hongming and Ye Tiannan cupped their fists, their eyes filled with complex emotions:
"Brother Chen, after this parting, who knows if we will ever meet again. Please take care."
"Hahahaha." Chen Jiuyang laughed heartily and said to them, "You should be the ones to take care. If your martial arts are insufficient, then learn the immortal cultivation techniques I left in the divine doctor's legacy and switch to immortal cultivation to gain a long lifespan."
"Otherwise, it is likely that when we meet again, I will be bringing two bottles of wine to offer incense at your graves."
After that, Chen Jiuyang turned into a stream of light and flew away from the Chen family's territory, returning to the True Demon Sect.
Watching the stream of light that was Chen Jiuyang departing, Emperor Yan put away the two jade slips: "Let's go pack our things. We will depart for Qingzhu Town today. Jiuyang specifically came to inform us, I'm afraid that although the Demon Sect is prosperous, it will soon become a place of trouble."
Chen Jiuyang was able to enter the forbidden land to avoid the world due to his identity as a successor of the Human Emperor's path.
"Yes, Father," Yan Hongming replied.
Just half a day later, the few of them, with all their belongings, holding Chen Jiuyang's token, passed unimpeded within the demon cultivation forces, heading towards Qingzhu Town.
Outside the main hall of the True Demon Sect, stood Han Shaofa, the patriarch of the Han clan of Jiudu.
It seemed he had been waiting for some time.
"Greetings, Sect Master!" Han Shaofa said respectfully. Besides Han Shaofa, there were also Han Peiling and other familiar Han clan members of Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang looked at them and said, "Are you here to inquire about Yihan's whereabouts?"
How could the Han clan not worry when the wife of the dignified Sect Master of the True Demon Sect had disappeared for more than a month without contact?
Han Shaofa smiled and said, "It seems the Sect Master already has arrangements. Then your subordinates will not ask further."
The secret of Chen Jiuyang's retirement and seclusion could naturally not be known to too many people, so he could only tell Han Shaofa and the others: "Perhaps for a long time to come, the Han clan will no longer produce a Heavenly Charm Saintess."
"Are there any other matters?"
Han Shaofa said, "The Sect Master has disbanded his guard team and let them take their families to Qingzhu Town. What is the reason for this?"
Years ago, Chen Jiuyang brought the forty-eight marquises of Feng Province to the True Demon Sect. The Han clan had courted them and married many of their direct daughters to these guards. Now, this group of people had all left, taking a group of people from the Han clan with them.
These traces could certainly not be hidden from the Han clan.
Chen Jiuyang's gaze turned cold, and his voice was indifferent and overbearing: "Do not concern yourself with matters that are not your concern, and do not worry about things that are not your worry. I have my own plans."
The Chen Jiuyang of today had already ascended to the Emperor realm, far from the Heaven realm of the past when they needed people to protect him.
In recent years, the Han clan had used his name to openly gather resources within the True Demon Sect and promote their own people, becoming the largest faction besides Chen Jiuyang, causing dissatisfaction among many families.
It was fine when Chen Jiuyang was in power, but once Chen Jiuyang retired from this position, the Han clan would likely face trouble. However, out of consideration for their years of relationship, Chen Jiuyang would naturally not push the Han clan into a fiery pit.
Chen Jiuyang's words made Han Shaofa and the others tremble in their hearts.
Before they could react, they heard Chen Jiuyang say again, "When you have gathered enough, it's time to digest it properly and focus on cultivating your clansmen, otherwise, you will choke to death."
"You may withdraw."
Chen Jiuyang could only give them this hint, and then walked into the Sect Master's hall. Han Shaofa and the others wanted to step into the Sect Master's hall to inquire further, but 'Bie Huan's' figure appeared and blocked them at the door.
"Hehe, don't blame me for not letting you in, this is the Sect Master's intention," 'Bie Huan' giggled coquettishly.
Han Shaofa and Han Peiling's expressions changed. They exchanged glances, not daring to make a sound, and could only withdraw. In their hearts, they guessed that something unfathomable must have happened to Chen Jiuyang.
After Han Shaofa and the others left, 'Bie Huan' entered the Sect Master's hall to report, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the Holy Son has been diligently cultivating these past few days and has already broken through to the Venerable realm."
'Bie Huan' looked intently at this extremely young Sect Master, her thoughts churning. This Sect Master was not only a peerless genius, but his only disciple was also a peerless genius. Truly...
"Hmm," Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, and asked, "Has the position of Holy Maiden in the sect always been vacant with no one to ascend to it?"
One could be at the Nascent Soul stage or Earth realm to select and contend for the position of Holy Son and Holy Maiden, but Chen Jiuyang had been Sect Master for so many years, and the position of Holy Maiden had always been vacant. He didn't know the reason.
"Reporting to the Sect Master, that is indeed the case."
"Hmm," Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly, his eyes flashing with sharp light. "The Holy Son is not young anymore, and he does not have a marriage engagement. Pass down my command to arrange a suitable marriage partner for the Holy Son."
At this, 'Bie Huan' became completely excited: "Yes, Sect Master."
