The power of the Earth Immortal_1 Stationed Immortal City.
Standing tall with hands behind his back on the illustrious Wangxiantai of the Chen Family, Chen Dengming’s gaze was profound and unpredictable, igniting fervor and apprehension among the dozens of kneeling Innate martial artists below.
Not until Chen Dengming waved his hand, upon hearing the rustling of his sleeves, did this group rise, bow, and leave with an air of regret yet relief.
“Master!”
Chen Zhong, now in the twilight of his life, his body bent from age, looked upward, his blurry eyes straining to get a clear view of Chen Dengming.
He yearned to behold one last time the Master’s perpetually youthful appearance before his departure, yet found it increasingly challenging.
...
He was too old, so old that he felt his days were numbered.
He had lost much of his Primordial Qi in the calamity brought upon by the Chen Family’s blood refining years ago and barely survived it.
Even when Chen Dengming offered him Spirit Pills for recuperation eight years ago, his health continued to deteriorate.
“Old Zhong.”
Chen Dengming turned to look at Chen Zhong who was about to kneel down and shook his head.
He gently generated a soft force that held back the old servant from kneeling and gave a faint smile.
“We’ve been master and servant for so many years; there’s no need for you to kneel before me like the outsiders.”
Chen Zhong was moved as he lamented, “Master, you are a true Immortal now, a great Immortal.”
Chen Dengming laughed and shook his head, “An Immortal is but a transformed human.
As for me, I can’t yet be considered an Immortal.
I’m merely on the path of cultivation.
Chen Zhong, the name I chose for you was precise.
Over the years, you’ve exemplified your loyalty towards the Chen Family through your deeds.
As your master, I respect you.”
Chen Zhong, with tears streaming down his aged face, said, “With your kind words, I can die without regrets.
But Master, if you intend to send these Innate warriors to the Cultivation World in the future, why can’t you take Ranran and Jing’er with you into the Cultivation World?
Is it something to do with Spiritual Roots that even with your power you cannot solve?”
“Solve?”
With a sigh, Chen Dengming paced back with his hands behind his back, “If the issue of Spiritual Roots was easy to solve, then there wouldn’t be any ordinary people left in the Cultivation World.
Chen Zhong, I will arrange things well for Yiran and Jing’er.
There’s no need for you to worry.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhong nodded and fell silent.
His affection for Chen Dengming’s two children cannot be adequately described as treating them as his own; he valued them even more than his own children.
To take care of the two children, he had the chance to marry and sire children but chose to abandon it and only adopted a son.
Of course, he wished that Chen Yiran and Chen Jing could be like Chen Dengming and become noble Immortals.
But to become an Immortal, one needs a Spiritual Root; both the young master and young lady lack it.
“People often remark how good it is to be an Immortal, but have they ever realized Immortals also suffer?
They also need wealth and land, and the class disparity is even larger…
Without a Spiritual Root, why bother cultivating?”
Just by looking, Chen Dengming discerns the many unvoiced questions in Chen Zhong’s heart, but he chose not to explain.
One cannot comprehend a lot of issues without being at a certain level.
Even his children, Yiran and Jing’er, were confused and rebellious at their current stage.

As a father, Chen Dengming was unable to appease them.
He could only let them experience it personally in the future so they can understand on their own.
Words would be insufficient to explain.
“Father!”
“Dad!”
At this moment, two figures appeared in the distance.
Under the escort of several Innate warriors, they approached quickly using a swift movement technique.
It was none other than Chen Dengming’s children, Chen Jing and Chen Yiran.
Chen Jing, with his physique as firm as a spear, stood upright.
His wide back and shoulders made him appear robust.
His piercing eyes glowed with intelligence under his broad forehead, bearing a strong resemblance to Chen Dengming.
Although he was only sixteen, his physique was average for a grown man.
Chen Yiran, on the other hand, had a beautiful face like a blooming flower, a well-proportioned figure, and carried herself with graceful composure.
Her beauty, coupled with the subtle resemblance to Chen Dengming and her mother’s elegance, made a delightful sight to behold.
These two, a son and a daughter, were already renowned martial artists, nearly possessing Innate strength with mastery over various martial arts.
The Innate realm was not far-fetched for them.
Even Chen Dengming could instantly boost them to the Innate level anytime, even up to the Innate Eightfold without any problem.
However, the goal for both children was not to reach Innate but to cultivate and become Immortals.
“Father!
Are you here to take us to the Cultivation World this time?”
Both children, having finished their respects, turned towards Chen Dengming with hopeful eyes.
Chen Jing asked with an anticipatory look.
Chen Yiran looked on, sharing a similar expectation.
For them, growing up in Stationed Immortal City and being the children of the great Immortal, Chen Dengming, had made them realize their uniqueness.
Their goal was no longer to simply reach the Innate Eightfold, the pinnacle of martial arts.
Although they knew that they lacked Spiritual Roots and therefore couldn’t cultivate to become Immortals, their blind trust in their father made them believe that they could cultivate in the future and that their father would solve their issue with the Spiritual Roots.
Because their father was the pride of Nanxun, the strongest Immortal.
Even Uncle Jiang, the strongest martial artist in Nanxun and an Earth Immortal, had to follow their father’s command.
Looking at the hopeful eyes of his children, Chen Dengming sighed inwardly.
Birds of a feather flock together.
These two were just like him when he was young, extremely obstinate.
Just like him, when he found out about the existence of Immortals, he no longer viewed martial arts as his ultimate goal.
Instead, he aspired to become an Immortal, a dream he zealously pursued even in his later years.
However, he had a Spiritual Root, but his children lacked it…
“Jing’er, Yiran, the outside world of cultivation is currently in chaos.
If you truly wish to go to the Cultivation World, you’ll have to wait a few more years.”
