Chen Moxuan's decision was like a spring breeze, dispersing the gloom that had settled over everyone's hearts. Chen Feng stood frozen for a moment, and gradually, excitement began to sparkle in his eyes.
He did not dare to delay; he immediately summoned the warriors of the Di Sha Zhan Bu and began preparing for the founding ceremony of the nation. Upon hearing this news, everyone erupted in cheers and joy.
If the Ancestor said we should establish a nation, then let us do it with great fanfare! Chen Feng silently vowed, then turned around and began to meticulously prepare for the grand ceremony.
The preparations for the ceremony were in full swing, and before long, the day of the founding ceremony arrived. The sky was a deep blue, and sunlight bathed the earth, as if even heaven and earth were celebrating this grand event.
Within the territory of Chen Kingdom, both cultivators and mortals were filled with joy and anticipation. They flocked to the central square where the ceremony would take place, eager to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.
The steps of the ceremony were carefully designed, each segment imbued with solemnity and sanctity. First, led by Chen Feng himself, the warriors of Di Sha Zhan Bu entered the square clad in unified battle attire, exuding an imposing presence.
Next came the Tian Gang Battle Division, who had hurried back from Tanlang Kingdom. At Chen Feng's command, the warriors quickly formed ranks, with Tian Gang Battle Division and Di Sha Zhan Bu occupying their respective positions, creating a magnificent scene.
The first step of the ceremony was the heavenly sacrifice. Dressed in battle armor and holding a jade tablet for the sacrifice, Chen Feng led his soldiers up to the sacrificial platform. As he recited the heavenly prayer aloud, clouds in the sky seemed to respond, slowly gathering to form a spectacular tapestry of cloud formations.
Then, Chen Feng's father, Chen Zhisheng, appeared slowly on stage. Standing atop the platform in a magnificent dragon robe, he surveyed his united subjects and cultivators below with piercing eyes.
His gaze swept over each person below for a long moment. Taking a deep breath, his voice rang out loud and authoritative as he began to speak.
"I am of Chen Kingdom! Today, I stand with you all to witness this historic moment—the birth of Chen Kingdom! This is an event recognized by heaven and earth, long awaited by all beings; my heart is greatly comforted!"
"Looking back at our past, we have endured countless hardships and cleared many obstacles to achieve today's foundation. I deeply understand that without your loyalty and bravery, there would be no standing for Chen Kingdom. Therefore, I express my most sincere gratitude and respect to you all!"
"I am of Chen Kingdom—Chen Feng! Today, I stand with you all to witness this historic moment—the birth of Chen Kingdom! This is an event recognized by heaven and earth; long awaited by all beings; my heart is greatly comforted!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the square, accompanied by fervent shouts: "Long live Chen Kingdom! Long live the Ancestor!" Their voices converged into an unstoppable force that soared into the sky.
A flag adorned with golden dragon and phoenix patterns slowly rose under the gaze of the crowd. The cultivators of Di Sha Zhan Bu were so overjoyed that they lost themselves in the moment. As the direct descendants of Chen Feng, they felt as if they had soared to great heights! The Chen Family was filled with immense joy. They had finally established their nation! All thanks to the Ancestor; without the Ancestor, how could the Chen Family have achieved such a day? Long live the Ancestor!
Chen Moxuan sat atop Tiger Brother's broad back, his gaze sharp as he looked down at the bustling scene below. Tiger Brother shook his massive head and asked in confusion, "Chen Xiaozi, why aren’t you joining the ceremony? This is a grand day for your Chen Family; shouldn’t you be present?"
A faint smile tugged at the corners of Chen Moxuan's lips, though there was an elusive depth in his eyes. This was merely a child's game; as long as nothing went wrong, it was fine. He replied softly, his tone laced with indifference.
He then turned to look at Yunmeng Xianren, who stood quietly beside him. The child still bore a youthful appearance, yet his eyes held a depth beyond his years. Yunmeng Xianren’s parents had deemed him a monster and dared not keep him, so Chen Moxuan had taken him under his wing. In just over ten days, Yunmeng Xianren had grown to the size of an eight or nine-year-old.
After briefly resting his gaze on Yunmeng Xianren, Chen Moxuan's attention shifted to the warm Companion Gemstone in his hand. Ever since he had taken it into his possession, he could feel the mysterious power it contained.
Chen Moxuan marveled internally but couldn't help feeling anxious. He knew that his cultivation had stagnated for quite some time; he could only rely on the power of this Companion Gemstone to break through his bottleneck. However, he struggled with how to utilize it effectively and sought the secret that would allow him to advance further in his cultivation.
Suddenly, Tiger Brother shook his massive head again and asked curiously, "Chen Xiaozi, when Yunmeng Xianren fell like a meteor, Si Nan, who was searching for the Kaitian Seal, emitted a light? Why did that light disappear afterward?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan's gaze flickered slightly as he pondered for a moment before slowly responding, "There is indeed something strange about this matter; I have two theories in mind.
The first is that Yun Miao Heavenly Court may not have truly vanished. After all, there are still some deities alive within the heavenly realm; those gods transformed into seals to contain those demons. It is precisely for this reason that my master chose not to establish his own heavenly court. Many of my previous speculations may have been misunderstandings."
He paused here, gazing deeply into the distance as if contemplating something profound.
"The second possibility is that there was an error in the Si Nan I created."
It may not be searching for an ordinary Kaitian Seal, but rather for someone with abundant luck. After all, it had first pointed to Yun Che and now to this reincarnated Yunmeng Xianren.
Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow slightly, clearly intrigued by this issue. If that is the case, then the value of Si Nan is far beyond what we previously thought. It might become the key to my strength!
Tiger Brother suddenly understood. Just then, the Yunmeng Xianren, who had been quietly hovering in the air, suddenly tilted and began to fall straight toward the ground. His youthful face was expressionless, eyes tightly shut, completely unaware of his impending close encounter with the earth.
Fortunately, Xiao Bai Long, who was circling nearby to watch the excitement, reacted quickly. With its translucent dragon claws, it deftly hooked the back collar of Yunmeng Xianren's garment. With a gentle lift, it steadied the little fellow who was about to crash down.
Seeing this, Chen Moxuan felt puzzled and hurried over. He carefully examined Yunmeng Xianren and found that the child’s breathing was steady, his complexion rosy; he had actually fallen asleep.
Unable to help himself, he softly exclaimed, "True to his name, Yunmeng Xianren; even in sleep, he is so extraordinary." The people around them burst into laughter.
