Chen Jiuyang shrunk and suppressed this Zhurong Divine Ability to the center of his eyebrows, then felt the sense of power brought by the advancement to the Venerable Realm in all aspects.
In his sea of consciousness, a thick origin of fire pierced through the entire sea of consciousness, connecting Chen Jiuyang's divine soul, physical body, and so on. On the origin of fire, there were wisps of subtle fire laws.
Yuan Dao fused with the fire laws, and Chen Jiuyang comprehended a natural divine ability.
Pure Lotus Sacred Fire!
Its grade was higher than the Six Revolutions Pure Yang and Nine Revolutions Pure Yang Fire!
With a thought from Chen Jiuyang, nine lotus petal phantoms appeared beneath his feet, and golden sacred fire enveloped him.
Chen Jiuyang could feel that this Pure Lotus Sacred Fire was purifying everything around him, even refining the essence and spiritual energy before entering his body.
"How miraculous."
Even the essence and spiritual energy were purified before entering his body, which was more beneficial to his cultivation.
Strictly speaking, he would have to change his blood again to enhance his physical body's strength to upgrade the Six Revolutions Pure Yang. But now, with the origin of fire and fire laws, he had directly bypassed this step and obtained the higher-grade Pure Lotus Sacred Fire.
"This Pure Lotus Sacred Fire should be more than just this simple."
"I'll test its effects later."
Chen Jiuyang put away the Pure Lotus Sacred Fire, a smile appearing on his lips. He had advanced to the Venerable Realm, removed his inner demons, and reshaped his Dao heart.
It was time to share the good news with his family.
Having advanced to the Venerable Realm, transcending the ordinary and becoming a sage, he no longer needed to fly using his qi but could fly like an immortal cultivator.
Chen Jiuyang stepped on the void and walked out of the dense fog area, arriving at the riverbank.
Chen Biandao, Han Peiling, Granny Han, Lin Yuexian, Ji Lengyue, Qiu Yihan, the Han Clan Patriarch, Feng Hanhou, and many others close to Chen Jiuyang were all gathered there.
Seeing Chen Jiuyang return safely, his aura profound and unfathomable, everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy.
"Congratulations to the Holy Son on advancing to the Great Dao!!!"
"Jiuyang, congratulations on advancing to the Venerable Realm. Your future on the Great Dao is promising!"
From now on, with Chen Jiuyang entering the Venerable Realm, his strength would be on par with Han Peiling and the Han Clan Patriarch, and he would have the opportunity to contend for the position of Sect Master, surpassing them in status.
"Chen Lang."
"Husband."
"My dear husband."
Chen Jiuyang's several women also showed happy smiles.
Chen Jiuyang's emotional burden was lifted, and he took the initiative to suggest that they have children for him. This was a good thing.
A Venerable Realm cultivator under thirty years old, what did that signify?
Even the Yan Emperor of the past did not advance as quickly as Chen Jiuyang.
The Venerable Realm, even in the current era, was considered core high-end combat power. The major powers in the world would at most have one or two experts at the Emperor Dao level.
Chen Jiuyang had now entered the Venerable Realm and could fully begin to establish his own family forces.
A giant arm of the Demonic Dao had quietly been born.
Granny Han said, "Jiuyang, now that you have advanced to the Venerable Realm, when will you return to the Sacred Sect to challenge the Sect Master?"
Chen Jiuyang's expression was calm, his face relaxed, and he smiled, "No rush."
"I need to stabilize my cultivation and familiarize myself with my Venerable Realm combat power."
Granny Han was speechless, then laughed, "Indeed."
"Let's go home," Chen Jiuyang said.
Apart from this group, no one else in the outside world knew that Chen Jiuyang had advanced from the Heavenly Realm to the Venerable Realm.
Chen Jiuyang was genuinely not in a hurry to return to the True Demon Sect to challenge for the Sect Master position because he was considering that now that he had advanced to the Venerable Realm, he could use the immortal artifact 'Two Realms Mirror' left by the Pure Yang Medical Immortal to travel to the Lesser Immortal Realm, and then gradually search for Yao Zixuan's whereabouts.
Returning home, Chen Jiuyang's family returned to a peaceful life, accompanying Chen Nianxuan as she grew up healthy.
Chen Nianxuan had a special physique; even cultivating in her teens or twenties would be timely.
One day, Chen Jiuyang received an invitation.
A Demonic Dao gathering was to be held in Ziyang.
Chen Jiuyang's attendant handed the invitation to Chen Jiuyang, "Holy Son."
Chen Jiuyang took the invitation and looked at the inviter, his expression startled.
It was Ming Huatong.
The Saintess of the Lotus Sect, the disciple of an old monster who had lived for thousands of years.
"Brother Jiuyang, it has been several years since we last met. Would you be willing to accept my invitation to discuss the Dao with a fellow Saint friend?"
The last time he saw Ming Huatong was at the Three Lives Tomb. It seemed Ming Huatong not only didn't die there but also came out alive, likely due to some fortuitous encounter.
Chen Jiuyang's intelligence could be hidden from those outside the Demonic Dao, but it could not be hidden from core Saintess figures within the Demonic Dao like Ming Huatong.
The Lotus Sect had a close relationship with the Nine Sects of the Demonic Dao, and the old monster of the Lotus Sect was also no ordinary person.
Seeing the invitation written by Ming Huatong, Chen Jiuyang's expression became somewhat dazed. The first time he saw Ming Huatong, she was being pursued by Gong Liexian. Later, they had several more interactions. Time flew by, and now he and Ming Huatong were no longer enemies but fellow members of the Demonic Dao, which made him sigh at the unpredictability of worldly affairs.
"Then I shall go and see her."
Chen Jiuyang drove his car, holding the invitation, and arrived at a luxurious and retro manor.
Looking at the address, it seemed to be the former residence of the Four Clans and Sixteen Sects of Ziyang City, a place he had visited before.
It had now been converted into a manor.
Entering inside, people with various sinister, terrifying, and ill-intentioned auras gathered, all dressed exceptionally well or in special attire.
This place was very demonic, very eerie.
"Brother Jiuyang, long time no see," Ming Huatong's voice, as gentle as water, sounded behind Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang turned around and saw Ming Huatong with her large, watery eyes standing behind him. She was wearing a blue and white luxurious robe, her figure voluptuous, her clothes thin, appearing charming and alluring.
Not a few people nearby were stirred by her appearance.
Ming Huatong cultivated a charm technique. Many men were attracted by her charm, their eyes greedy, wanting to get close to her, yet fearing something, they dared not step forward.
However, Ming Huatong's charm technique was ineffective on Chen Jiuyang. No matter how strong her charm technique was, could it be as potent as Qiu Yihan's Heavenly Charm Physique?
Chen Jiuyang looked at her and said, "Why did you ask me to come out?"
Ming Huatong's cultivation had reached the late Nascent Soul stage, not far from the Divine Transformation stage. She was clearly a prodigy as well.
Ming Huatong chuckled charmingly, "Recently, the Pseudo-Dao has been suppressing our Sacred Dao lineage more and more fiercely. When we go out on missions, we are often pursued. I heard that Brother Chen is here, so I invited Brother Chen to meet."
"After all, this is Brother Chen's territory. If anyone attacks me, I will have Brother Chen as my backing."
Chen Jiuyang smiled and said, "You say that as if you've gotten into trouble?"
Ming Huatong looked at Chen Jiuyang with her watery eyes and chuckled, "It's not really trouble."
"There is a Sacred Dao cultivator who is relentlessly pursuing me, and he comes from an extraordinary background. Even my grandmother cannot refuse him on my behalf. Unfortunately, my heart already belongs to someone else, and my heart is filled with Brother Jiuyang, so I cannot let him go."
"Brother Jiuyang, you must help me."
Chen Jiuyang's face immediately stiffened. He had never had much contact with this vixen Ming Huatong. Her saying this clearly meant she wanted him to be a shield.
