Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

In the small courtyard, there was a specially made rattan chair placed under a green tasseled fruit rack.    

    

On the rattan chair, an old man with white hair and beard was snoring.    

    

Chen Yu walked to the edge of the rattan chair without the old man noticing.    

    

Looking at the old man's familiar yet unfamiliar face, Chen Yu's heart ached. Suddenly, tears started streaming down his face.    

    

When he left home, he was young and strong.    

    

By the time he returned, he was old and decrepit, like a flickering candle in the wind.    

    

Within his body, Chen Yu could feel the power of the peak Spirit Accumulation Stage, but it was the same as his old body, weak to the extreme.    

    

Through Qi Xiao's God's Eye, Chen Yu could see that his lifespan was at most one to two years.    

    

"Father!" Chen Yu felt sad as he muttered to himself.    

    

"Great grandfather, great grandfather!" The children came running in.    

    

Chen Yu raised his hands and released the Divine Soul Power without turning his head.    

    

The group of children immediately felt sleepy and fell to the ground, falling into a deep slumber.    

    

However, the shouts of Chen Jiyu and the others had awoken Chen Wenfaang. He opened his blurry old eyes and was about to slowly turn around when he saw Chen Yu standing beside him.    

    

He was stunned and a little puzzled. He blinked again and said, "Ah Sui Yi, you're so busy. Didn't you say you didn't have to come to see me, this old man? "Hmm, you are not Ah Sui, you are …"    

    

A trace of light flashed through his cloudy eyes. The old man shook his head again: "You are Ah Yu. Ai, I'm old and my eyes are blurry. How come I'm hallucinating?"    

    

"Father!" Chen Yu's tears fell like rain. He knelt beside the rattan chair and said, "You're not hallucinating, I'm Ah Yu. I'm back!"    

    

Chen Wenfaang's body stiffened and suddenly leaped up. The old body's energy burst out like a fierce tiger, burning the last bit of power in the old body. He exclaimed, "It's true, it's really Ah Yu, you're back?"    

    

"He's back!" Chen Yu nodded with tears in his eyes.    

    

Chen Wenfaang stared at Chen Yu who was kneeling in front of him for a long time. Suddenly, he broke out in tears and grabbed Chen Yu's arm: "Ah Yu, my son, you're back." "The heavens have mercy on me! Let me see you again before I die with my old bones!"    

    

Chen Yu said, "Dad, my son is unfilial!"    

    

"What unfilial deed? You are my pride, the fortress of Chen Family, the pride of the entire Minglan City!" Chen Wenfaang stopped his tears, pulled Chen Yu up and shouted, "Haha, my son is back!"    

    

Although it was late and he was old, Chen Wenfaang's shout was filled with pride.    

    

Hearing his father's shout, Chen Yu felt sad but also happy.    

    

"Old man, what are you shouting for?" At this time, an elderly voice sounded.    

    

Turning his head, he saw Old Lady walking out from a house in the yard. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties, and half of her face was covered with grey hair.    

    

The voice was unfamiliar.    

    

"Chen Yu!" When she saw Chen Yu, Old Lady exclaimed in surprise and dropped the medicine pot in her hands onto the ground.    

    

Chen Yu really didn't recognize Old Lady, but he felt a sense of familiarity. His heart skipped a beat and he said, "Aunt Ya?"    

    

Aunt Ya was Mrs. Ya. Back then, when Chen Yu found help when Minglan City were being suppressed, he married Chen Wenfaang and became Chen Yu's stepmother.    

    

The last time Chen Yu saw Mrs. Ya, Mrs. Ya had used a veil to cover her face, which was why Chen Yu didn't recognize her.    

    

"It's me, you're back, you're actually back!" Mrs. Ya said excitedly.    

    

Chen Yu came forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Mother, thank you for taking care of my father!"    

    

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Ya raised her head. Her hair spilled over the side of her face, revealing the scarred side of her face.    

    

This was the reason why Mrs. Ya always covered her face with a veil. After a hundred years, she no longer covered her face.    

    

Chen Yu bowed once again.    

    

On the other hand, Mrs. Ya's strength was a level higher than Chen Wenfaang's, and she had reached the early stage of Profound Dark Stage.    

    

"All of you, come in and talk!" Mrs. Ya looked behind Chen Yu and didn't see anyone else. She looked a little disappointed, but she still said, "I'll get someone to prepare some food and wine. Tell Ah Sui to meet you!"    

    

"Ah Sui?" Chen Yu was stunned.    

    

"It's your brother!" Chen Wenfaang said, "Last time, a few years after you left, your aunt became pregnant, so she gave birth to you a younger brother, named Chen Sui!"    

    

Chen Yu felt that it was weird, but he soon felt relieved and really felt happy for his father.    

    

It was true that having a younger brother was a bit repulsive in his heart, but he could do the duty of filial piety for Chen Yu and take on the heavy responsibility of Chen Family.    

    

After entering the room, Chen Yu first knelt down respectfully to offer tea to Chen Wenfaang and Mrs. Ya, then started to discuss the changes that had occurred in the Chen Family in the past hundred years.    

    

After more than a hundred years, Chen Family was actually the number one martial arts family in the entire Profound Sky Continent. Although Jun Family Battle Family and Yan Family were still the same as the Chen Family, which was also known as the Five Great Clans of the Ming Lan, due to the resources and techniques Chen Yu had brought back last time, among the other four families, only Su Family could barely contend with Chen Family.    

    

However, the disciples of the five families were all working in Ruling Spirit Sect as elite disciples or elders, so they were at peace.    

    

Su Family naturally had a blood feud with Chen Family, but after Su Qingyuan died, the one in charge was Su Guan's faction, yet they also stayed at peace. Ruling Spirit Sect stood by the side of Chen Family the entire time, and often sent people to permanent residence in Minglan City, so that they could take care of Chen Family.    

    

Therefore, the rise of the Chen Family was unstoppable!    

    

Over the course of a hundred years, the next few generations of Chen Family have grown, and many have entered the Polar Extreme Peak Faction!    

    

To Chen Wenfaang, the patriarch of Chen Family, Chen Family was flourishing in his hands. It could be said that he was bringing glory to his ancestors, and the only regret was that his son, Chen Yu, had disappeared for a hundred years without being heard from.    

    

That's why Chen Wenfaang called the three great-grandchildren respectively successor Yu, Cheng Yu and Nian Yu.    

    

Chen Family was caused by Chen Yu, Chen Yu was a legend of Chen Family!    

    

Speaking of the people behind the Chen Family, Chen Wenfaang had a face full of gratification, because among the descendants of the Chen Family, there were quite a few with extraordinary talents.    

    

Thinking about how he had knocked Chen Jiyu down just now, Chen Yu revealed a smile on his face.    

    

While they were chatting, footsteps could be heard coming from outside.    

    

Chen Yu did not need to look to sense many people coming from the outside. Among them, the strongest one was actually at the peak of the Profound Dark Stage, which was hard to come by within the Minglan City.    

    

Soon, the most powerful person walked in.    

    

Chen Yu turned his head and saw that the person was about 50 years old. He should be a lot older than this person. His appearance was similar to Chen Wenfaang, but he was more handsome, calm and refined.    

    

"Ah Sui is here!"    

    

"My son greets father!" After the person respectfully bowed to Chen Wenfaang, he looked towards Chen Yu and said, "Mother sent someone to inform my son that brother has returned. This is Brother Chen Yu?"    

    

"Yes!" Chen Wenfaang said.    

    

"Brother Chen Sui greets you!" Chen Sui sized Chen Yu up for a while and felt that Chen Yu was unfathomable. He couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate with fear as he hurriedly bowed.    

    

Looking at Chen Sui who looked a little similar to him, Chen Yu was still a little complicated in his heart, "Peak of Profound Dark Stage, not bad!"    

    

"Since little brother joined the Starlight Sect, I found it hard to advance further, so I came back to the family!" Chen Sui said, "In this life, I've received too many benefits from a brother!"    

    

"Your accumulation is still lacking. In a few days, I will help you break through your Deity Entering Stage!" Chen Yu nodded and said.    

    

Chen Sui was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.    

    

Chen Yu waved his hand, "Who are they outside?"    

    

"They're all members of our Chen Family. After knowing that our elder brother had returned, they couldn't help but come to take a look!"    

    

Chen Yu nodded and asked his seniors as well as his friends from his youth.    

    

The answer was that they were all dead. Chen Wentine and the other seniors had all passed away. Even Chen Feng and Chen Lee had died of old age and were just standing outside.    

    

Only Chen Yuan, who was now a Ruling Spirit Sect Elder, was not in the clan.    

    

Chen Yu stood up and walked out of the door, but he could not recognize the appearance of his young friends. Their strengths were Spirit Accumulation Stage, and they did not increase their lifespan by much, although they were not as old as Chen Wenfaang, they all revealed their age.    

    

In comparison, Chen Yu was still in his twenties, which formed a sharp contrast.    

    

Fortunately, Chen Feng and the others knew that Chen Yu wouldn't recognize them. They all stood out with excited expressions and performed the actions that they were familiar with in their youth.    

    

Looking at his younger brother, who had his life on the line, Chen Yu's heart was in a mess.    

    

Time was as sharp as knives!    

    

She hugged her old friends, but was unable to say anything.    

    

After a long while, Chen Feng and the others knew that the gap between them was too big, so they bade farewell and left.    

    

Chen Yu could only ask them to drink together in three days!    

    

After letting his family members know him, Chen Yu finally stopped lamenting and started to help his father recuperate his body.    

    

With Chen Yu's current methods, although he couldn't increase his father's lifespan by a few hundred years, he could still slow down his aging process by taking care of his elderly body and infusing it with vitality.    

    

After recuperating for three whole days, Chen Wenfaang, who was already as dead as a dying candle in the wind, with the help of Chen Yu, broke through his Profound Dark Stage. Although his hair was still Argent White, he looked much younger.    

    

In the following days, Chen Yu, in addition to accompanying his father, began to teach the younger generation's martial arts techniques and skills to give out resources.    

    

While he was drinking with Chen Feng, Chen Lee and the others, he had also fused with the Medicine Pill in the wine, raising their strength and slowing down their aging process.    

    

However, Chen Yu also knew that after this reunion, they would leave each other forever.    

    

Time flowed by, a month's worth of time passed. In the quiet room, Chen Yu had helped Chen sui to break through the Deity Entering Stage realm that Chen Yu had taught him, as well as the frightening amount of resources he had accumulated. Making it work like this wasn't too difficult.    

    

Chen Sui was extremely excited, and he became more and more respectful towards Chen Yu.    

    

Chen Yu took down a prepared Storage Ring and gave it to Chen Sui. Inside, it contained all the low-grade resources that he had at his disposal. He instructed Chen Sui to use them and lead his family to prosperity.    

    

Then, Chen Yu bowed towards Chen Sui.    

    

This bow was a thanks to Chen Sui for replacing him as his son and bringing Chen Wenfaang up to date!    

    

After that, Chen Yu accompanied Chen Wenfaang for three days and told most of his experiences to Chen Wenfaang, satisfying Chen Wenfaang's yearning towards the vast world.    

    

On this day, Chen Yu walked out of the Chen residence with the entirety of his Chen Family.    

    

Outside the Chen residence, Chen Yu gave Chen Wenfaang three more kowtows before leaving with endless sadness.    

    

This time, there was no hope of seeing him again!
