Book One: The Land of Celestial Spirits Chapter 27: Passing on the Power

After returning from his grandfather's place, Chen Xuan went back to his courtyard. The conversation with his grandfather made him realize the life-and-death situation facing their family. Even if he was asked to escape, he wouldn't do it. Abandoning his family and living a wretched life on his own was not something Chen Xuan could do. That's why he decided to take the initiative to attack the two families after the Completion Festival.

When he left, his parents asked him to come over for dinner in the evening. Chen Xuan calmed his emotions a bit, trying not to dwell on these matters. Now was the time to enjoy the happiness of being with family. When he arrived at the dining hall, his parents were waiting for him.

"Xuan'er, you're here, come and eat quickly," his mother called out.

Laughter and joy filled the dining hall as the family happily finished their dinner. His father also asked about the situation in the Sunset Mountains. Chen Xuan briefly explained, and his father didn't press further on where his techniques came from.

Back in his room, after inviting his father to come over in the evening, Chen Xuan wanted to try transferring his spiritual power into his father's body. If successful, his father would also quickly reach the Spiritual Martial Realm, but it also came with risks.

Old Li advised him to try, suggesting that perhaps the spiritual power in his body had already been harmonized to a lower level compared to his, higher than true energy, which gave Chen Xuan the courage to attempt it.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Xuan had been converting his true energy into spiritual power every day for the past few days. In about a month, he would be able to convert all his true energy into spiritual power, thus reaching the Spiritual Martial Realm.

An hour later, there was a gentle knock on Chen Xuan's door.

"Dad, come in, the door isn't locked," Chen Xuan said.

With a creak, the door opened, and his father walked in.

"Xuan'er, what's the matter with calling me over this afternoon?" his father asked hurriedly after entering.

"Dad, please sit down first," Chen Xuan said, pouring a glass of water for his father.

Chen Xuan slowly told his father about the spiritual power he had in his body. At first, his father didn't pay much attention, but when Chen Xuan mentioned that he had spiritual power and would reach the Spiritual Martial Realm in another month, his father suddenly stood up.

"Xuan'er, are you telling the truth?"

"Dad, the reason I asked you to come over this time is because I want to transfer the spiritual energy from my dantian to yours. If successful, you will also quickly reach the Spiritual Martial Realm," Chen Xuan didn't hide anything.

Stolen novel; please report.

"But there are risks involved. If your body can't bear the spiritual power, it may cause your body to explode. What do you think, Dad? If you think it's feasible, I'll try it tonight," Chen Xuan continued.

His father remained silent for a cup of tea's time before lifting his head with a determined look in his eyes.

"Xuan'er, I've been stuck at the Ninth Rank of the Earth Realm for ten years. To have such an opportunity, I don't want to give up," his father said.

As a warrior, everyone hopes to go further on the path of martial arts, especially Chen Xuan's father, who was also a martial fanatic.

In fact, it wasn't as serious as Chen Xuan made it out to be. He just wanted his father to make up his mind. As a warrior, one must have a brave heart. If Chen Xuan told his father that there was no danger, it wouldn't arouse his father's pursuit of martial arts.

Having been stuck at the Ninth Rank of the Earth Realm for ten years, his father's martial fanaticism had long been worn away. Chen Xuan gave him an opportunity to stimulate his father's pursuit of martial arts again. This was Chen Xuan's intention.

"Alright, let's get ready," the two of them began to prepare.

"Dad, relax your mind. I will transfer the spiritual power from my body to your dantian now," Chen Xuan said as he activated the Swallowing Heaven Technique, slowly transferring the spiritual power from his dantian to his right hand, which he placed on his father's back.

Although Old Li had said the spiritual power had been somewhat harmonized, Chen Xuan didn't dare to be careless. A strand of spiritual power as thin as a hair floated out from Chen Xuan's hand. He carefully controlled it and directed it into his father's body, passing through the meridians and reaching his father's dantian.

His father trembled all over, and his dantian felt a swelling sensation. However, after half a cup of tea's time, this swelling feeling gradually disappeared, and the spiritual power began to move up and down in his dantian, indicating success.

Chen Xuan stood up.

"Dad, all you need to do is refine this strand of spiritual power. Once it's assimilated with the true energy in your body, you'll reach the Spiritual Martial Realm," Chen Xuan was also very excited.

His father was somewhat incredulous that he would soon reach the Spiritual Martial Realm. This was the realm he had long dreamed of.

Upon examining his own dantian, he indeed found a strand of spiritual power, realizing how remarkable his son was.

"Xuan'er, you must not tell anyone that you can transfer spiritual power into others' bodies. If people know you have such a heaven-defying ability, they'll force you to supply spiritual power for the Ninth Rank of the Earth Realm for those big families and forces. Our family will become a threat, bringing danger to the entire family, do you understand?" his father cautioned.

"I understand, Dad. I won't tell anyone. I only transferred the spiritual power to you. Once I reach the Spiritual Martial Realm, I won't casually transfer spiritual power to others' bodies. That could cause them to explode," Chen Xuan promised.

"Rest early, Dad. I'll see you out," Chen Xuan's father left with an excited expression.

"Goodbye, Dad," Chen Xuan said, then sat cross-legged, converting the spiritual power in his dantian.

In the main hall of the Wu family, Wu Hao's face was grim as he looked at his second brother's body. The others present didn't dare to speak.

"Can someone tell me what happened? When we ambushed Chen Xuan, the clan didn't leak any information. The old man from the Chen family couldn't have known. Did someone inform them?" Wu Hao scanned the people present.

"Master! Is it possible that the old man from the Chen family happened to pass by the alley and caught us ambushing Chen Xuan?" an elder analyzed.

"Recently, no one in Hongling Town has heard of anyone in the Spiritual Martial Realm entering the town! The way the second brother died seems like he didn't even have a chance to resist before being killed. The person who did it is at least in the Spiritual Martial Realm. It's impossible for an expert at the Ninth Rank of the Earth Realm to kill the second brother with one blow without any resistance," another middle-aged man continued.

"Since the person is already dead, it doesn't matter who killed him. I want the whole Chen family to accompany my second brother and my son. Take down the second brother's body. There's no need to prepare it. I want my second brother to see how the Chen family is destroyed with his own eyes," there was silence in the room for a quarter of an hour, and everyone's heart was heavy.

"What has Mr. Liu been doing lately?" Wu Hao asked after the silence.

"Master, do you suspect that Mr. Liu did it? Wasn't Mr. Liu the one we invited to deal with the Chen family? Recently, Mr. Liu has been holed up in the courtyard the family prepared for him and hasn't come out. Every two days, he asks us to find him another yellow-flowered girl. He's obsessed with women. Master, where did you find such a helper? He's seduced seven or eight of our family's yellow-flowered girls,"

A man said indignantly.

"I know what to do. After resolving the matter with the Chen family, I will ask him to leave,"
