"Father, there's no need to worry. Even if you hadn't asked, I had intended to tell you and the family's elders the truth. Aren't you curious why I was able to miraculously break through to the Golden Core Realm at just thirty? This involves a great opportunity from my early years," Zhao Sheng said calmly to Chen Dacheng, while the Golden Core Phenomenon behind him gradually faded away.

Seeing this scene, Chen Dacheng was secretly shocked, surprised that his "son" could so quickly fully control his own phenomena.

However, he was more concerned about the opportunity his "son" mentioned.

But after a fleeting thought, Chen Dacheng finally suppressed his inner desire and instead advised earnestly, "Xi'er, you really don't need to do this! Obtaining an opportunity is your personal fortune; you don't need to tell anyone, including myself and your wife and children. Besides, any high cultivator who has reached the Golden Core Realm, who among them hasn't encountered one or even several 'opportunities' in their lifetime?"

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he was quite surprised, immediately looking at his adoptive father in a new light, respecting him even more.

He couldn't help but smile and say, "Father, my 'opportunity' is extraordinary. Even if I told the five Nascent Soul Ancestors, it wouldn't be a big deal. Besides! Please forgive me for keeping it a secret for now. Father will understand the mystery in the future. Speaking of it not only doesn't harm my interests but has great benefits for me and the family."

Having said this, Chen Dacheng stroked his long beard and decisively said, "In that case! As your father, I won't persuade you any further. Now that you have successfully formed your core, it's the right time to return with me to pay respects to all the ancestors."

As the two spoke, a tunneling light swiftly approached from the west, landing before them in an instant. As the light dispersed, it revealed a well-fed, robust middle-aged man in splendid clothing, none other than Master Da You, another Golden Core member stationed here.

Chen Dayou's eyes shone with curiosity, and after sizing up Zhao Sheng for a moment, he lavishly praised him and was full of wonder.

Zhao Sheng humbly responded with a few modest words before voluntarily stepping back to stand behind Chen Dacheng.

Seeing this, Master Da You couldn't help but regard him even more highly.

After a short time,

Three streaks of tunneling light soared together from the peak of the barren mountain into the sky, and then turned toward the Chen Family's Divine Tree.

...

In less than an hour, the three of them had traveled three thousand miles and smoothly returned to the family's Suspended City.

Upon returning home, Master Da You bade farewell to Zhao Sheng and then tunneled away.

"Xi'er, you return to the Hidden Dragon Pavilion first. I must immediately report to Ancestor Feihong."

"Father, go ahead. I will return home to see my wife and children."

Chen Dacheng nodded, turned around, and ascended into the sky, flying toward the ancestral cave mansion at the waist of the tree.

Zhao Sheng watched his departing figure, quickly withdrawing his gaze, and suddenly vanished from where he stood.

Before long, the Hidden Dragon Pavilion was filled with jubilation.

Seeing her husband return after forming his core, Chen Ying and the other wives were overjoyed to tears. The four children, Ming Zhi, Ming Ren, and others, were also cheering and extremely excited.

At the same time, the news of Chen Guangxi's safe return rapidly reached those like Chen Daqian who were in the know.

Although they had already known that Chen Guangxi had successfully crossed the tribulation, upon hearing the confirmed news, all those aware were overjoyed and felt the family had gained another Golden Core Clan Elder with limitless potential.

In the Hidden Dragon Pavilion, Zhao Sheng waited for two days but never received a summons from the family ancestor.

This made him quite surprised.

However, on the third day, he finally received a divine thought from Ancestor Feihong, instructing him to come to Feihong Cave.

Zhao Sheng immediately set off, transforming into a stream of light, quickly flying down from the treetop and soon reaching the tree hollow at the tree's waist, slipping in with a flicker.

As soon as he entered the cave, a thick mist surged from nowhere, instantly enveloping the hollow so tightly that it was impossible to see inside.

The area of the tree hollow was not large, and Zhao Sheng had only flown a hundred zhang before the mist suddenly cleared, and his vision opened wide.

Uh!

Upon seeing the scene inside the cave, Zhao Sheng was slightly surprised and quickly dispelled his tunneling light to land on the ground.

Immediately after, he quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to the five seated family ancestors, saying reverently, "Chen Xi, pays respect to all the ancestors!"

"Rise!" Ancestor Feihong said cheerfully, waving his sleeve to lift him.

Ancestor Feihong was the person with the longest life span and the strongest power in the Chen Family, thus seated in the center of the five Nascent Soul Ancestors.

Zhao Sheng glanced over the five, noticing that on Ancestor Feihong's left sat two people: one was Bai Mei, who looked like a child, and the other was a dignified and graceful woman in a lake-green palace dress.

This woman was precisely the only female Nascent Soul in the Chen Family, known as "Spirit Lake Fairy" Ancestor Chen Zhenghui.

Zhao Sheng's gaze turned to the right of Ancestor Feihong, first seeing a person with a refined appearance and an immortal aura, resembling a celestial being.

He immediately thought of this person's identity. Apart from the ruthless Ancestor Zheng Jue, who was a master of many demon techniques, no other family ancestor could be so contradictory in appearance and reality.

Given that the identities of the four Nascent Soul Ancestors were clear, the identity of the last one was self-evident.

That person had run out of white hair, emaciated like a withered tree, seemingly on the brink of death.

However, Zhao Sheng knew well that Grandmaster Zheng Zhuo, as a Tree Venerable, had at least two thousand years of life span.

The five Nascent Souls of the Chen Family were led by Ancestor Feihong, followed by Tree Venerables Zheng Zhuo and Spirit Lake, and finally Bai Mei and Ancestor Zheng Jue.

Since ancient times, Tree Venerables have rarely left the range of the Divine Tree! This means that among the Chen Family's five Nascent Souls, only Bai Mei and Zheng Jue can freely move about the Cultivation World.
