Chapter 166: Having made up my mind, I must go to the Xuan Yun Holy Land!
During this period, Luan Xinying, Xiao Xuan, and Su Yi were all busy cultivating and rarely appeared in the Chen family.
The seemingly unusual scene shrouded their courtyard in mystery.
A series of knocks on the door soon reached Chen Yue's ears.
The only person in the entire Chen family who would dare to knock on the gate of Chen Yue's residence is Old Master Chen.
Chen Yue slowly walked to the courtyard gate and deftly pushed it open.
Upon seeing the person who had arrived, a smile gradually appeared on Chen Yue's expressionless face.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Upon seeing Chen Yue, Old Master Chen inexplicably felt an invisible pressure.
With his cultivation at the Sun Wheel Realm, he couldn't even tell whether Chen Yue's cultivation was at the Condensation Origin Realm or the Spirit Mansion Realm.
Chen Yue quickly invited his grandfather into the house. Xiao Xuan and Su Yi were both in seclusion in their rooms cultivating, while he was still out in the outside world.
Chen Yue invited his grandfather to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard and personally brewed a pot of hot tea, placing it on the table.
Old Chen's attention was quickly drawn to the cracks in the ground. Following the direction of the cracks, he saw that the source was the room where Chen Yue had always lived.
Overjoyed with his grandson, Old Chen hurriedly asked, "Grandson, what happened? How did the yard get so dilapidated?"
"Have you considered moving back to your old place? Grandpa specifically instructed your second uncle a few days ago to clean the entire mansion thoroughly."
Chen Yue immediately refused, as he had lived in this dilapidated courtyard for a long time, which held his memories from childhood to adulthood.
Even though the room had been smashed into a large crater by the Heavenly Crimson Hammer in a moment of excitement, the damage directly affected the courtyard.
This made the already dilapidated mansion appear even more dilapidated.
"Never mind, Grandpa, a little damage won't hurt."
"But why did you suddenly come here today? Is there something you need?"
Upon hearing Chen Yue's question, Old Chen's expression immediately turned serious; he did indeed have something to say.
Countless years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the grandfather and grandson haven't spent time alone together like this in a long time.
Old Chen recalled that last time, Chen Yue was still a child who enjoyed being the center of attention.
Over the years, the child has lost most of his childishness and gradually revealed his youthful vigor.
His cultivation level was unfathomable, making him unable to fathom it.
Old Chen's gaze involuntarily turned north, his eyes revealing complex emotions, as if he were worried about something.
However, his gaze quickly returned to Chen Yue, and he earnestly instructed him, "Grandson, I heard that in three days it will be the day when the Xuan Yun Holy Land recruits disciples."
"Are you interested in this?"
Chen Yue didn't understand what his grandfather meant by suddenly mentioning the Xuan Yun Holy Land.
However, he had already made a decision: he absolutely had to go to the Xuan Yun Holy Land.
Back then, my father brought an undeserved disaster to the once-prosperous Xuanyun Holy Land because of the Cold Rain Ice Illusion Technique.
This led to a significant decline in the Holy Land's strength, causing it to fall out of the ranks of king-level forces.
After Chen Yue joins the Xuan Yun Holy Land, he will surely lead the Xuan Yun Holy Land back to its peak, or even surpass it.
"Grandpa, the Xuan Yun Holy Land is recruiting many disciples, I will definitely go!"
Old Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of joy, "You definitely won't go? That's good!"
“The Xuan Yun Holy Land is not a good place. With Da Sun’s talent, he can definitely enter a real king-level power.”
Chen Yue was confused by his grandfather's words; the more he listened, the more something seemed off.
"Grandpa, did you hear that right?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't go; I said I would definitely go!"
After the correction, Mr. Chen finally understood Chen Yue's answer.
The change in facial expression is much faster than turning the pages of a book; one second they're smiling, the next they're so serious they can't speak.
Elder Chen's main purpose in coming to see Chen Yue was to persuade him not to join the Xuan Yun Holy Land.
He thought everything would go smoothly, but it turned out to be completely beyond his expectations.
The moment Chen Yue heard the question, he immediately expressed his thoughts.
This was completely contrary to the answer that Mr. Chen had expected.
For the Chen family of Jiangcheng, the Xuanyun Holy Land is a taboo that must never be touched.
The reason for this was the trouble caused by his youngest son, who secretly took an ancient treasure from that ancient secret realm and fled to this remote and almost isolated Jiangcheng.
The forces most affected were naturally the ones to which Chen Chu belonged at the time.
The best course of action for the Chen family of Jiangcheng is to avoid any further involvement with the Xuanyun Holy Land, so as to prevent any re-enactment of what happened back then.
Although the overall strength of the Xuanyun Holy Land has declined significantly, it is still more than enough to deal with the Chen family of Jiangcheng.
Old Chen learned that the current Holy Lord of Xuanyun Holy Land was at the half-step King Realm.
If he were to notice the Chen family in Jiangcheng, the entire city of Jiangcheng would likely suffer.
Therefore, Old Master Chen absolutely did not want Chen Yue to venture into that troublesome place again, in case his identity was discovered and it aroused public anger.
With his cultivation at the Sun Wheel Realm, he simply couldn't protect this grandson. The best way was to avoid contact with the Profound Cloud Holy Land.
Old Chen's tone was icy, and he warned, "No, I don't agree to your going to the Xuan Yun Holy Land!"
He was unaware that Chen Yue already knew the whole story, and only believed that Chen Yue had the idea of joining the Xuan Yun Holy Land without knowing the details.
“Grandpa, my mind is made up. If you came here today just to dissuade me from joining the Xuan Yun Holy Land, then there’s no need to say anything more.”
In everything, Chen Yue would probably listen to his grandfather's advice.
But this time it's absolutely not going to work out. Chen Yue had already made up his mind that he would do his best to make up for what his father owed to the Xuan Yun Holy Land.
Even if it angered Daoist Xuanyun, Chen Yue had no need to worry about his life being in danger.
With three ancient emperors as his masters, Chen Yue couldn't imagine anyone posing a threat to his life on this Tianyuan Continent.
Chen Yue can do anything without considering the consequences. If he encounters any insurmountable difficulties, his masters, the Great Emperors, will naturally step in. This is Chen Yue's confidence.
Seeing Chen Yue's resolute attitude, Elder Chen couldn't understand his grandson's thoughts at all, why he was so persistent about Xuan Yun Holy Land.
"Grandson, you don't know this..."
"The Xuan Yun Holy Land and our Chen family..."
Old Chen hesitated whether he should tell Chen Yue everything that happened back then.
Perhaps after learning everything, Chen Yue will give up the idea of entering the holy land.
Before Old Chen could finish speaking, Chen Yue interrupted him and said what he was about to say.
“Father has let down Xuan Yun Holy Land. If it weren’t for his actions back then, Xuan Yun Holy Land would still be a king-level power.”
"That Ancestor Xuanyun will not die defending the holy land even if it means his own demise."
“My father can no longer make up for the damage done to the Holy Land, but I can.”
"So Grandpa, I must enter the Xuan Yun Holy Land!"
