Chapter 207: Zhongzhou Qishi Mansion

After dealing with Hua Yunfei, Chai Xin rushed straight back to the Holy City.

After parting with Jiang Taixu, he brought Heihuang and others back to the Qingjiao King's small world. After more than ten years of separation, many old friends finally gathered again, but Ye Fan was the only one missing.

When old friends get together, they naturally have a big feast, drink heartily, and tell each other about their experiences over the years.

For more than two months, Chai Xin did not practice, nor did he go anywhere. He just went boating on the lake in the small world with his old friends, just like he did in the past.

Moreover, he acted as a treasure-distributing boy again, giving away many treasures that were no longer needed, or some elixirs that were of little use to him, to everyone.

During these days, the three brothers, King Qing Jiao, King Kong Que and Taoist Chi Long, have been busy with the work of reorganizing the Valley of Gods and contacting allies.

So Chai Xin took this opportunity to give some precious pills to the three seniors.

Fortunately for the Green Dragon King, he had already crossed the threshold of the Beheading Path and had a fairly long life. These precious pills that extended life were extremely valuable to the Peacock King and the Red Dragon Taoist.

Although repeated use would lead to drug resistance, the elixir given to them by Chai Xin was enough to extend their lifespan by six or seven hundred years, which could be considered a huge favor.

With an extra six or seven hundred years of lifespan, as the path to becoming an immortal is about to open, the world will change again, which means that their future will have more possibilities.

This also made them recognize Chai Xin more deeply, and they have become comrades in the same camp.

Of course, apart from these things, Chai Xin did not neglect the beauty. He often strolled with Yan Ruyu everywhere, enjoying the company of her in the woods and on the flower paths.

It was not until two months later that Zhang Ziling and the Saint of Yao Chi, Liu Nianshuang, arrived together and invited her to go to the Zhongzhou Mansion of Extraordinary People together.

Yan Ruyu and Pang Bo are both considered to be demons, so they were not invited to the Qi Shi Mansion.

Although Wu Zhongtian, Tu Fei and others are all human, their talents are still inferior to those of the saints and saintesses of the major holy places, so they were not invited.

However, they were not discouraged. This time, Chai Xin gave them many panaceas, some of which could cleanse the bones and marrow.

Once all these spiritual materials are digested, he may not be inferior to the many geniuses who have entered the Palace of Extraordinary Scholars.

What's more, the road to immortality is about to open. If the story develops according to the original work, the House of Strange Men will change its practice of endless years and will open its doors many times to welcome more human geniuses to embark on the ancient road of trials.

Tu Fei and his friends still have a chance.

Today, the domain gate of King Qing Jiao’s small world has been connected to the Valley of Gods.

Chai Xin and the other two were teleported directly to the Valley of Gods, and then teleported from the gate of the Valley of Gods to an ancient city closest to the Qi Shi Mansion.

The area of ​​Zhongzhou is larger than that of Donghuang. It has four immortal dynasties, such as the Yuhua Dynasty and the Guhua Dynasty. They are both behemoths that have stood for more than 100,000 years. They are not inferior to the ancient families and holy places in Donghuang, and even surpass them.

In addition, there are various schools of thought and religions, all of which are immortal heritages with profound backgrounds, some of which are even older than the four great divine dynasties.

In addition, there are nine ancient countries with vast territories. Although they are not as powerful as the four great dynasties, they are no ordinary ones and have been established for at least 70,000 to 80,000 years.

The ancient city that Chai Xin and the other two were teleported to was the capital of Chiyang Kingdom, one of the nine ancient countries.

After all, the Chiyang Kingdom was founded by cultivators, and it is many times larger and more powerful than the kingdoms in the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness, such as Yan, Jin, Wei, etc., which are mainly inhabited by ordinary people.

As the capital of this country, Chiyang City is naturally countless times more prosperous than Yandu and Jindu.

The ancient city was magnificent, with extremely tall and wide gates that could accommodate dozens of beast knights entering side by side. The city walls were even more majestic, with all kinds of array patterns hidden in the walls, and divine power fluctuations emanating from them.

Obviously, if a powerful enemy invades, a large city defense formation will be set up to protect this ancient city.

In terms of area alone, this city is no less impressive than the Holy City.

There is a flourishing trade, with wine shops, inns, brothels, and Chu houses... Many monks come and go or settle here, and many high-ranking sects in Zhongzhou have their bases here.

Purple air rose into the sky from the center of the city, connecting into pieces of mist and even condensing into the shape of a dragon. The earth's vital energy gathered together, and Chai Xin knew at a glance that it was where the imperial palace was.

"This place is very different from the northern region of the Eastern Wasteland. Although there are no countless source mines, there are many ancestral veins with prosperous dragon energy underground. Many major forces may not hide in the mountains. Many of them have built cities and set up dragon-raising formations, evolving into divine cities that have been passed down for thousands of years."

Liu Nianshuang had obviously done a lot of homework before coming here, and she told her story in a leisurely manner, making Chai Xin and Zhang Ziling nod their heads frequently.

"It is said that after countless years of evolution, the capitals of the four immortal dynasties have become so powerful that they can soar into the sky, like divine capitals."

"Hey, this figure looks so familiar...ah, it's Senior Sister Nian Shuang!"

"Why didn't I see it? Ziyue, you are dazzled."

"Brother, when did your eyesight become so bad? That's it! Hey, Chai...that kid is here too!"

But at this moment, two somewhat familiar voices sounded in the crowd.

The sound was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted. Chai Xin and the other two stopped immediately and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

"It turns out to be Brother Ji and Sister Ziyue. It's true that we meet each other everywhere!"

Liu Nianshuang was the first to step forward and bowed slightly to the two siblings who were arguing in the crowd.

"Good fellow, Senior Brother, you beat this Jiang family divine body and left him with a psychological trauma. It's not that you didn't see Nian Shuang, it's that you don't want to meet you at all!"

Zhang Ziling immediately saw Ji Haoyue stiffening his neck, refusing to look in this direction, but being held tightly by the arm by the bright and beautiful girl next to him. He could not help but laugh secretly and whispered something.

Chai Xin also recognized them. In front of him were two old friends whom he hadn't seen for many years, the Big and Small Moon from the Ji family.

The past is over, and for Ye Fan's sake, he would not look at the Ji family brothers and sisters coldly. He stepped forward and smiled and nodded: "Brother Haoyue, long time no see."

Although Ji Haoyue's personality is a bit arrogant, he is not despicable. On the contrary, he is much more upright than Chai Xin, and it is really hard to dislike him.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he had to cough to cover up his embarrassment, and then he nodded in surprise as if he had just noticed Chai Xin and the other two, saying, "I actually didn't expect to meet Fairy Liu, Brother Zhang, and Brother Chai here. I apologize for my impoliteness."

The Ji family's divine body had a stern expression and looked straight ahead, as if nothing had happened and there was no embarrassment at all.

But anyone could see that he clearly didn't want to confront Chai Xin head-on at this moment. After all, he was the one who had beaten him up in public that year.

But to be honest, he couldn't really hate Chai Xin. He was beaten up back then because he was not as skilled as his opponent, and Chai Xin didn't kill him in the end.

Moreover, it was the Ji family who was wrong from the beginning to the end. He had to follow orders to capture Ye Fan and deliberately forced Chai Xin to show up for a fight. After a simple greeting, Ji Haoyue wanted to leave quickly. Although he didn't hate him, the embarrassment was unavoidable anyway. He really didn't want to have any more interactions with Chai Xin.

But he was held tightly by his sister, and it was difficult for him to break free, lest someone else notice him.

"Chai Xin, long time no see...um..."

After Ji Ziyue greeted Liu Nianshuang and Zhang Ziling, she turned her gaze to Chai Xin. She, who was usually cheerful, suddenly became shy.

Chai Xin immediately knew that the other party must want to ask if there was any news about Ye Fan, so he smiled and said, "There is still no news about Ye Fan, but you can rest assured that he will definitely come back."

Ji Ziyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, revealing two white fangs, and asked in surprise: "How did you know? By the way, you have been missing for many years, did you meet Ye Fan along the way?"

Not to mention her, even Ji Haoyue became more serious when he heard this, and his eyes finally fell on Chai Xin.

"The reason why Ye Fan is eager to return to his hometown is just because he is worried about his parents on the other side of the starry sky. But when he really returns to his hometown, no matter whether his parents are alive or not, how can he not worry about his old friends in Beidou?"

Of course Chai Xin couldn't say that he had read the original work, so he could only make up his story as reasonably as possible.

"Moreover, he is an ancient holy body, destined to shine in this golden age of kings. How could he really be content with being ordinary? With the potential and lifespan of the ancient holy body after breaking the curse, how could he be trapped on an ancient star forever?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded involuntarily.

All those present were cultivators, people who were pursuing the great Dao, and they all understood the meaning of Chai Xin's words very well - people like them would never give up the pursuit of the Dao unless they were about to die in the next moment.

Ji Ziyue's eyes also shone with a glittering light, but soon dimmed again, and she murmured, "He is an ancient holy body. Once he reaches great perfection, he will be on par with the emperor, and his lifespan will be as long as ten thousand years... If he comes back after a long time, I'm afraid I would have returned to dust long ago..."

In fact, in Chai Xin's opinion, in the entire original novel of "The Great Ruler", the woman who has the most sincere feelings for Ye Fan is actually Ji Ziyue, with at most Qin Yao and half of Chenxi.

Ji Ziyue, the daughter of an ancient noble family, may be a bit willful at times, but she is not overbearing or domineering.

On the contrary, after meeting Ye Fan, she never had the intention to harm him, and she gradually fell in love with him after sharing hardships. She was not at all alienated from him because he was called a "useless person" by everyone.

Later, it was clear that she had fallen deeply in love with Ye Fan and wished to be with him forever.

But when he learned that the other party wanted to return to his hometown and was searching for the five-colored altar, he still resolutely took out the bronze ring he got in his childhood and sensed the location of the altar for him.

Because of the deep love, the fulfillment has gone beyond the ordinary sense of liking.

If this isn't love, then what is?

On the other hand, the relationships between An Miaoyi, Yin Qingwu, Fan Xian and other women who had had relationships with Ye Fan were not pure.

Chai Xin was also deeply moved when he heard Ji Ziyue's words. He was touched by the woman's deep affection. After a long time, he said sincerely: "Because of this, you should practice hard. You are a rare Yuanling body, and your future achievements will definitely not be bad. You have to live for at least seven or eight thousand years, how can you not see Ye Fan again?"

Ji Haoyue was speechless after hearing this. Do you want my sister to wait for your brother for thousands of years?

But what the other party said made sense and should be able to cheer Ji Ziyue up from her depression. After all, it was good news.

As expected, after Ji Ziyue heard this, the depression that had always been difficult to dispel in her eyes was gradually replaced by determination.

She nodded vigorously and clasped her fists to Chai Xin earnestly: "Brother Chai, thank you very much! In the past, Ye Fan always spoke well of you in front of me, but I was not very happy about it. After all, you beat me up..."

"Purple Moon!"

Ji Haoyue’s eyes widened, and he rarely yelled at his beloved sister.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but suppress their laughter.

“Hehehe, sorry, sorry, I spoke too quickly!” Ji Ziyue’s eyes curved into crescents. Apparently, after finding a new target, her state began to recover. “Anyway, thank you, Brother Chai! You said a lot. I, Ji Ziyue, am not a waste!”

"You're welcome. We're all family from now on."

Chai Xin nodded with a smile on his face.

"Brother Chai, from now on, the Ziyue lineage and I will never make things difficult for you again. As for the conflicts between you and other branches of the Ji family... I will not interfere."

Ji Haoyue, who was standing next to her, saw his sister finally reveal a long-lost sincere smile. The embarrassment and anger on his face slowly dissipated, and he nodded to Chai Xin seriously.

After all, he had not fully grown up at that time, and he had to obey the orders of some elders of the Ji family.

But after many years, his strength is now not even weaker than that of the Holy Lord of the Ji Family. Why would he care about those people anymore?

Speaking of which, there are many factional struggles within the ancient family, and they are very harsh, even to the point of life and death.

For example, Ji Biyue once hunted down Ji Ziyue, and the two sides had long been at loggerheads with each other.

If there were not some more powerful elders suppressing them, I'm afraid they would have destroyed each other by now.

"Ah."

Chai Xin nodded in response.

"Brother Ji, I've heard that the Ji family has its own way to enter the ancient trial road of the human race. You and your sister shouldn't have to wade into the muddy waters of this strange mansion, right?"

Liu Nianshuang, who had remained silent since the greeting, suddenly spoke.

What she said was not false. The Void Emperor who founded the Ji family became an emperor through the great way of space. Moreover, the Void Mirror is also the most proficient in the laws of space among all the supreme imperial weapons.

Connecting to the ancient trial road of the human race might be a big problem for other forces, but for the Ji family, it is no problem at all.

Without waiting for Ji Haoyue to answer, Ji Ziyue smiled and replied: "Don't worry, Sister Nianshuang, we are here only to hone our skills and see the marks of the sages in the Qishi Mansion. In the end, we will still set foot on the ancient trial road through the family secret method, and we will not compete with you for the quota!"

"Sister Ziyue, why are you making fun of me? With my strength, it is almost impossible for me to stand out among so many peerless geniuses. I have some self-awareness. The reason I asked this question is just out of curiosity."

Liu Nianshuang chuckled and shook her head, speaking from her heart.

She and Zhang Ziling came here with the same purpose, to improve themselves through the competition and many benefits in the House of Strange Men, and never thought of setting foot on the ancient path of the human race.

It’s not their fault for belittling themselves, but the geniuses of the human race in this era are simply too brilliant!
