Chapter 637: – Five Thousand Years Old

All living things woke up early in the morning. The rain in the surroundings began to fall, falling on the ground and making clear sounds.

Bai An stood in place, looking at the familiar scene in front of him. He couldn’t help but sigh. At this moment, he had already returned to his former hometown.

This was the mountain city, the place where the ancient sword had fallen and was picked up by the ancestors of the Bai Family. The cultivators in the area didn’t seem to have made much progress compared to a thousand years ago.

The existence of the Qi in the area restricted the development of this area. Even after nearly a thousand years had passed, it was still the same.

It had already been a thousand years since Bai An had left this area. A thousand years had changed too many things. It was a long time, even for cultivators.

Cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage couldn’t survive for such a long time. The people Bai An knew in this area had disappeared. Even if he forcefully searched for them, he would only be able to find a pile of corpses.

This city had changed a lot. Even if Bai An deliberately searched for many things, he wouldn’t be able to find many familiar traces. The only place that remained unchanged was the Bai Family’s ancestral home.

Back then, after Bai An’s father had fallen, the Bai family had fallen into desolation. Bai An had abandoned most of the Bai family’s assets, except for that ancestral home.

The ancestral home held many of Bai An’s past memories. Many of his childhood memories were left behind in that huge mansion, and they were very rich and colorful.

This was a very important part of his memories. After he left that year, he had arranged for people to guard this place and be responsible for sustaining the mansion.

Of course, the most important person was Bai An himself. He had returned to this place several times and used his own cultivation base to personally set up a spell formation to preserve most of the appearance of this area. At the same time, he had also protected this area from being destroyed by outsiders.

Otherwise, even if outsiders did not destroy this house after a thousand years, it would still leave a deep mark over time. It would be impossible for it to be the same now.

Now it still looks the same at a glance. There was no difference. However, although nothing had changed, the people inside had long disappeared. The loyal servants who had once followed the Bai Family, and had even taken care of Bai An, had long since died.

Bai An had personally buried their corpses in the ancestral land of the Bai Family. Bai An had also left behind their descendants to continue to watch over the area’s stability and protect the family business for generations.

No matter how much pressure he faced, Bai An had never wavered in his heart all these years. However, Bai An’s mood could not help but tremble even now.

“Ancestors, father…”

He put on his old clothes in front of the familiar mourning hall and kneeled. He earnestly prayed, “Please protect me in heaven…

“Father, this time, you will get your revenge.”

Many thoughts flashed through his mind. Unknowingly, he hid in the eternal dynasty for a thousand years. It was an extremely long time, even for a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator.

Such a long time had changed many things. It allowed Bai An’s cultivation to advance to a higher level. It had also allowed him to come into contact with some secrets in the Eternal Dynasty and find out some of the truth.

After that, he had locked onto his enemies and had been planning for a long time. He hadn’t made a move before because the time wasn’t right.

But now, the Eternal Dynasty was about to welcome a new change. It was time for him to make a move and take revenge.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, thinking of his wife and children. After a thousand years, Bai An was not the only one who had changed. The people around him had also changed.

The wife he had married back then was already old. She had been sealed with a unique secret technique, barely maintaining a breath of vitality and not withering completely.

As for his child, he had already grown up and was now very outstanding. He was about to cultivate to the Nascent Transformation stage in just a few hundred years.

Although his level of talent was slightly worse than Bai An’s, it was still superior to the others.

After paying respects to his ancestors in front of the mourning hall, Bai An packed his luggage and left. He returned to the Eternal Dynasty and continued to live on his original path as if nothing had happened, returning to the normal path.

After that, several years passed. An accident occurred in the Eternal Dynasty. One of the elders betrayed the Eternal Dynasty and tried to seize a supreme treasure and escape.

Chaos ensued. At first, it might only affect a dozen or so people, but in the end, it became more and more widespread and involved many people.

In this chaos, Bai An also secretly helped. He used the name of suppressing the rebellion to attack, achieving his goal secretly.

He successfully avenged his father by killing the group of people who had attacked his father and forced his father to die, along with the people who stood behind them. This could be considered a debt of gratitude.

As for the others, Bai did not plan to implicate them. The Eternal Dynasty was very, very big. After tens of thousands of years, although the force created by the Heavenly Venerates was somewhat decayed, some of them were still not bad.

The disciples under the Eternal Dynasty and the Liu Family had countless people. The dynasty could impact more than a million people.

If such a huge force were to be affected, it would affect countless people. It would change countless people’s life, and it would also cause many mortals to become homeless.

Bai An’s nature wasn’t bad, and he didn’t want to do things to such an extent. Therefore, he only attacked the group of people who had attacked his father. But other than that, he didn’t take any action against them. He didn’t have any intention of attacking.

After all, he had stayed in the eternal dynasty for a thousand years. No matter what his original goal was, Bai An had more or less integrated into the eternal dynasty itself after a thousand years. He could also see this force more objectively. It wouldn’t be like the past.

After taking advantage of the opportunity to kill that group of people, Bai An again fell into silence. Bai had infiltrated the eternal dynasty back then to avenge his father.

However, he seemed to have no other goals. He continued on the path he had been on. He was still a member of the Eternal Dynasty, and as time passed, his strength grew stronger and stronger.

Just like that, another thousand years passed. Bai An broke through smoothly and reached a higher level. He also became one of the Eternal Dynasty’s core members.

At this level, he had already surpassed the Demigod Stage, and his strength was even above the emperor of the Eternal Dynasty. As long as those old monsters in the dark didn’t make an appearance, he could be said to be one of the most powerful people.

It could even be said that if his surname wasn’t Liu and he wasn’t an internal member of the Eternal Dynasty, he could still become the emperor of the Eternal Dynasty and be in charge of this top force in the world.

Of course, even if he couldn’t, the power he held now wasn’t bad. He could even be one of the few elites second only to the Eternal Emperor.

At this point, he was still very young and had more potential for the future. Therefore, with the help of the Eternal Dynasty’s power, he continued to cultivate. Finally, when he was around five thousand years old, he removed all the courage in his body and entered the Eternal Dynasty’s secret realm to cultivate.

And after five thousand years, his descendants had also grown, and their number had increased.

The number of Bai An’s descendants continued to grow. They even became a large branch of the Eternal Dynasty, second only to the Liu Family and a few other surnames.

Because of Bai An’s wife, the descendants of the Bai family also had the Liu family’s blood flowing in their veins. As a result, they were innately close to the Liu family. The relationship between the two was glorious, and they were viewed as a family.

This kind of change was probably something Bai An would never have thought of back then. Even now, when Bai An occasionally thought about it, he would find it unbelievable.

However, it had already happened no matter what, so he could only accept it calmly. After all, this was not a bad thing for him.

In the five thousand years, Bai An’s reputation had gradually grown and expanded. Bai An’s name had also resounded throughout the entire cultivation world, and he had written down a great deal in the history of cultivation in this world.

His story had become an astonishing legend, and countless people were amazed by it. And in a place that no one knew about, Chen Heng quietly lurked and quietly observed.

He stayed by Bai An’s side. Other than quietly cultivating and comprehending the laws of this world, he also had the purpose of observing Bai An’s journey and watching him cultivate all the way.

From the perspective of Chen Heng’s cultivation, at his level, although simple comprehension and cultivation were very important, the cultivation process of others was also worth learning from. Sometimes, it could even allow him to start from a different angle, to find new inspiration.

Of course, this was an effect that only geniuses like Bai An had. If it were just an ordinary cultivator, it would be nothing more than a waste of time for Chen Heng.

During these five thousand years, he watched Bai An set off step by step, and he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. Compared to Xiao Han, Bai An had grown up until now, and he had experienced fewer twists and turns along the way.

This could be seen from the number of times Chen Heng had intervened. Since the last time Chen Heng intervened, Bai An had never encountered any danger, nor had he activated Chen Heng’s power.

With Bai An’s personality, he would be well-prepared and never act rashly even if he might have put himself in danger. It was precisely because of his cautious style that he could walk all the way until now without encountering too many accidents.
