Chapter 251 Heir
The Jiang family is not without elixirs that can extend one's life by sixty years, but the number of more than twenty pills they sold is by no means a small amount.
If these pills were auctioned in the Holy City, they would be worth at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms of divine source.
Of course, for Chai Xin today, this little thing is nothing.
Not to mention how many Medicine Kings and Lesser Medicine Kings he had obtained from the Kunlun Fairyland on Earth, the resources he obtained from this looting of the Golden Clan were almost as valuable as the entire Jiang family's treasury.
"The ancestor recognition ceremony is ready. All direct descendants of the Jiang family who remain in the clan are waiting in the ancestral temple. Please invite great-grandfather and great-uncle to go."
Jiang Ren then slowly stood up and stretched out his hand to lead the way to another slightly simple mountain not far away.
The mountain is not very tall, but it is extremely heavy, covering an area of several hundred miles. From afar, one can see a series of ancient palaces located on it.
The square in the middle of the mountain was already crowded with people.
This time, Chai Xin almost wiped out the Golden Clan by himself. Although only one day had passed, the news had already spread throughout the entire Big Dipper star field.
The Jiang family naturally attaches great importance to the fact that such a person, who is comparable to those dormant talents, is about to return to his roots.
If he has such strength at such a young age, how powerful will he be a thousand years later?
During these troubled times, the Jiang family would surely treasure and value such a powerful backer!
"Well, you lead the way."
Jiang Taixu nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
Next, a grand ceremony of recognizing ancestors began.
To be honest, Chai Xin's bloodline came from the Yan Emperor who was transformed from the corpse of the Hengyu Emperor. However, the Yan Emperor was active on Earth only five or six thousand years ago.
In other words, his relationship with Emperor Yan, that is, Hengyu's corpse, is closer than that of the Jiang family's descendants who have been passed down for more than 100,000 years.
Even though most of the cultivators in the Jiang family can live for hundreds of years, after hundreds of thousands of years, the difference between many of them and Emperor Hengyu is at least three to five hundred generations.
Although people cannot practice cultivation on Earth and their lifespan is much shorter than that of Beidou, even if we calculate that the average lifespan is only 40 years, after 5,000 years of inheritance, there would only be a hundred or so generations at most.
In fact, it is hard to say who is closer to Hengyu, Jiang Taixu or Chai Xin!
Of course, what is discussed here is seniority, not bloodline.
In terms of the purity of blood, all the people present combined are not as good as Chai Xin and Jiang Yifei.
In short, the people in the Jiang family called Chai Xin "uncle", and some younger generations even called him "great-grandfather" or "great-great-grandfather", and they did not suffer any loss at all.
Whether from the perspective of Jiang Taixu or Emperor Yan, Chai Xin's seniority is far higher than that of all the contemporary Jiang family members.
After a grand ceremony of recognizing ancestors, Chai Xin was revered as the second ancestor of the Jiang family, second only to Jiang Taixu.
At the same time, a new name called "Jiang Xin" was added to the Jiang family tree, added after Jiang Taixu, and annotated as "adopted son."
The so-called adopted son, also known as a stepson, is simply an heir.
From then on, it would not be an exaggeration for Jiang Xin to call Jiang Taixu "father" directly. The relationship between the two was not only master and disciple, but also a layer of kinship.
However, because he was used to the name "Chai Xin", which was also given by his parents in this life, he was only recorded as "Jiang Xin" in the Jiang family tree, and he still called himself by his real name in daily life.
Of course, it would not be an exaggeration if someone called him Jiang Xin.
This situation is similar to Qiao Feng changing his name to Xiao Feng.
The biggest difference is that Qiao Feng was adopted by Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, but his parents on Earth are undoubtedly his biological parents.
He had already confirmed this when he returned to Earth in front of the graves of his grandfather and parents.
Actually, his father and grandfather also had the blood of Emperor Yan, but it was not as strong and pure as that of him who had returned to his ancestral home. Moreover, he had no way to practice cultivation, so he had never shown any supernatural powers in his life.
The day after Chai Xin returned to his ancestral home, he issued a decree that shocked the world:
All the tribes that participated in the alliance and murdered the descendants of the human race must come to the Holy City to confess their crimes within ten days! Otherwise, he will hold the Hengyu Divine Furnace and come to the door to confess his crimes!
Naturally, this order caused an uproar when it was issued.
At first, all those ancient clans were extremely indignant and cursed Chai Xin for being too arrogant. He dared to fight against the ancient clans of the world on his own!
But after deep thought, these ancient tribes couldn't help but feel frightened.
This decree was issued in the name of the second contemporary ancestor of the Jiang family. It represented not only Chai Xin himself, a being with great sage-level combat power, but also the position of the entire Jiang family!
Moreover, as the Jiang family mobilized and operated everywhere, many human holy places, ancient families, and powerful sects all spoke out one after another to denounce the many ancient clans.
This time, if Chai Xin had not come to the rescue in an emergency, the descendants of each family would have almost all been killed by the many ancient clans.
Even if the major forces of the human race did not want to confront the ancient clans head-on, they could no longer swallow their anger when things developed to this point.
Otherwise, not to mention being oppressed to such an extent by the ancient clan that they dare not resist, how much of a blow it would be to their own prestige, even the dissatisfaction in the hearts of those seed heirs would be difficult to eliminate.
If this continues, it will eventually become a disaster.
What's more, the ancient tribes almost cut off the inheritance of the major forces of the human race, which touched their bottom line and they could no longer give in.
Moreover, all major forces have bases in the Holy City, and the image of Chai Xin and Gai Jiuyou annihilating the Golden Clan that day had already spread.
Gai Jiuyou, with his own strength, holding the Hengyu Divine Furnace, killed the six great saints of the Golden Clan and several Saint Kings with a wave of his hand, which had injected a shot of adrenaline into the entire human race.
Upon learning that there were such powerful people among the human race, the major forces naturally stopped being as timid as before and severely condemned the actions of the major ancient clans.
Among them, the three ancient royal families, Primitive Lake, Ten Thousand Dragons Nest, and Blood Phoenix Mountain, were criticized most fiercely.
These three royal families, carrying three ancient imperial weapons, namely the Yuanhuang Gourd, the Wanlong Bell, and the Fengchi Gilded Halberd, went to Yaochi, the Ji family, and the Yaoguang Holy Land, and confronted the strong men from the three parties.
If it weren't for these three tribes and the Golden Tribe, the other dozens of ancient races would not dare to attack the young generation of the human race in such a high-profile manner.
After all, although the human race's strength is not strong on paper, they have the imperial soldiers, and ordinary villains dare not act rashly.
However, there are also ancient races that did not interfere in this operation, such as Shencan Ridge, Huolin Cave, and of course the Fighting Saint Ape lineage, as well as some of their affiliated races, none of which participated.
It is worth mentioning that the lineage of the Emperor’s son did not seem to be involved in this incident.
Chai Xin even got some information that the Crown Prince has been much more low-key recently and has rarely appeared in public in recent years.
The last time he appeared was two years ago, when he fought a fierce battle with the Holy Prince who had successfully killed Dao, but the outcome was undecided.
In the end, although the major ancient clans were very unwilling, they still sent some representatives with sufficient weight to the Holy City to make amends. If only the several major ancient families in the Eastern Wilderness and the Holy Land joined forces, it would not be possible to really force many ancient clans, including the ancient royal family, to surrender.
However, the strength displayed by Gai Jiuyou was too terrifying!
Killing the six great saints of the Golden Clan who also possessed ancient imperial weapons was effortless.
They secretly calculated and concluded that Gai Jiuyou was definitely a quasi-emperor, and that they were not able to contend with him at the moment.
Especially after finding some records from thousands of years ago, he was completely panicked - this was actually a legend who had once reached the ultimate realm and survived!
He is at least a super powerful person at the ninth level of the Quasi-Emperor level, and may even have achieved enlightenment in another way!
In this world, looking throughout history, how many people can still be alive after failing to break into the realm of the extreme?
In this era when no supreme being appears, he is truly invincible.
Originally, they still placed their hopes on the several quasi-emperor ancestors who were sleeping in their respective clans, but now it seems that even if those ancestors were really revived, they would probably not be a match for Gai Jiuyou.
At this point, the major ancient clans have no choice but to surrender.
Day 10, Holy City.
In recent days, countless human cultivators have flocked to this ancient city, making this originally bustling ancient city even more overcrowded.
The only disciple of the God King Jiang suddenly became the second ancestor of the Jiang family, second only to the former in seniority. This surprised many people.
There were even some rumors in the market that Chai Xin was actually Jiang Taixu's illegitimate son, and it was not until he gradually revealed his talent that he was recognized by the clan.
Now that he possessed strength comparable to that of the Great Sage, he was finally fully accepted and allowed to return to his ancestral home.
Of course, this kind of talk is just something to talk about when you're bored after dinner, and anyone with a little bit of common sense wouldn't take it seriously.
Not to mention that Jiang Taixu was trapped in Zishan for four thousand years, whether he had the opportunity to have an illegitimate child.
Just based on his strength and seniority, even if he really has an illegitimate child, even if he is a complete waste, the Jiang family will still offer him protection.
How could we allow him to wander around outside, when he was even oppressed and hunted by various forces?
Today, countless humans have gathered in the Holy City for two reasons:
First, to see what kind of demeanor Chai Xin, the peerless genius whose reputation has recently become so popular, is like, and whether he has three heads and six arms;
The second, and most important point, is to see how the ancient tribes come to apologize in shame!
In recent years, human cultivators have been severely oppressed by the major ancient clans. How could they miss such an opportunity to be proud of themselves?
Before the major ancient clans arrived, the major forces of the human race had already arrived, and most of them were led by the leaders of each clan in person.
The Queen Mother of the West from the Holy Land of Yao Chi arrived, bringing with her Zhang Ziling, Liu Nianshuang, and several supreme elders.
However, Ji family's holy leader Ji Yuntian did not arrive, and entrusted the siblings Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue to handle the matter.
This is not surprising. At that time, the Holy Lord of the Ji family personally led a team and joined forces with the Yaoguang Holy Land to disrupt Chai Xin's engagement ceremony in order to hold him accountable.
In the end, he was humiliated and bled badly, which was a complete loss of face.
Now Chai Xin is no longer the same as before. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he has also become the second ancestor of the Jiang family. When Ji Yuntian comes, shouldn't he be extremely respectful?
The reason why they sent the Big Moon and the Small Moon over was because they knew that they had a close relationship with Ye Fan, and they hoped to use this to eliminate the previous grudges between them.
However, although Chai Xin would not show disrespect to the Ji brothers and sisters, he would not simply write off the past events.
In the past, the Ji family hunted him down time and again, and even forced him into Zishan, where he narrowly escaped death. How could he forget this blood feud?
I still say that he is not Ye Fan!
Even though he and Ye Fan were classmates and friends for life and death, it didn't mean that he would accommodate and forgive other members of the Ji family except the Big Moon and the Small Moon.
After all, Ji Ziyue is Ye Fan's future daughter-in-law, and she and her brother are both good people, otherwise Chai Xin would not let them go.
Of course, the Ji brothers and sisters were also very reasonable and had never said a good word or begged for favors for other members of the Ji family in front of Chai Xin.
Otherwise, Chai Xin would have probably drawn a clear line with them long ago.
What surprised Chai Xin a little was that the person who came to Yaoguang Holy Land was actually an old friend whom he had not seen for many years - Weiwei.
It is said that after the death of the Holy Son of Yaoguang at the hands of Chai Xin, a major earthquake occurred inside the Holy Land of Yaoguang.
All this happened because Chai Xin revealed the identity of the ruthless successor of the Son of Yaoguang in advance.
A struggle broke out between some people controlled by the ruthless lineage and Yaoguang's original lineage, which lasted for several years before it was finally settled.
The ruthless lineage was completely wiped out, and the Yaoguang Holy Land also lost a lot of vitality. The original old saint felt that he had failed in his duty and took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes.
During this struggle, Weiwei displayed outstanding leadership and extraordinary talent for cultivation, and was pushed to the position of Holy Lord.
Of course, her strength has already reached the peak of the Holy Lord, and she is only one step away from the path of beheading. She is fully capable of becoming the Holy Lord.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to make all factions within the Yaoguang Holy Land shut up and recognize her status.
After not seeing each other for many years, meeting old friends again naturally makes people feel filled with emotion.
Speaking of which, Weiwei can be regarded as the guide for Chai Xin and his classmates to enter the world of monks, so he did not put on airs.
The two sides still interacted as peers, briefly shared their experiences over the years, exchanged opinions on how to deal with the recent behaviors of the ancient tribes, and expressed that they would work together in the future and move forward hand in hand for the future development of the human race.
Finally, Weiwei even mentioned in a veiled way that the people who colluded with the Ji family and attacked Chai Xin had already died gloriously in the battle with the ruthless lineage...
Look at how they do it, it's flawless!
Compared with this, the Ji family seemed much more slow and sluggish.
This is no wonder. One is a sect that is brought together by reason (profit) and benefit, while the other is a family bound by blood. How could they have the same style of behavior?
In addition to these three top-notch forces, people from Wanchu Holy Land, Zifu Holy Land, Dayan Holy Land, and Daoyi Holy Land have all come, and all of them are their respective saints in person.
Just as Chai Xin was having a great conversation with many big guys and the atmosphere was becoming increasingly heated, representatives from various ancient tribes finally arrived.
