Chapter 201: Heaven's Prediction, the Law of Heaven and Earth
Chen Sheng was a little confused about the arrival of Tianwei Li Zhen and couldn't guess the other party's purpose.

After all, the other party is from Feiyunwei and does not need an affiliated family to increase the number of people on the Ten Thousand Swords List.

But no matter what, the other party were seniors in the realm of refining emptiness and could not be neglected. Chen Sheng immediately brewed a pot of fine spiritual tea and filled the teacups in front of the two.

"No need!"

Li Zhen, with a stern face, waved his hand and said, "I'm not here for tea. I'll leave after I finish my business."

After he finished speaking, he flipped his hand and a light golden token suddenly appeared.

The token itself was nothing worth noting, but the big word "天" on it made Chen Sheng's eyelids jump. He asked tentatively, "Tianwei Token?"

Hearing this, Li Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "It's not a Heavenly Guard Order, it's just a Heavenly Prediction Order."

He turned the token over and saw the word "Yu" on the other side.

After seeing it clearly, Chen Sheng's face suddenly realized that the Heavenly Guard Order was a symbol of the Heavenly Guard's identity and was extremely precious. There were not many of them in the entire Feiyun City, and the other party would not have taken it out casually.

"The Lord City Lord has heard about your performance in the Ten Thousand Swords Tower. He is optimistic about you and believes that you have great potential in the future."

"That's why I was ordered to give you this order, which means you are qualified to join the Heavenly Guards. But remember, this order only means you are qualified, not a real Heavenly Guard."

"But don't worry, as long as you have this order, those Lianxu families will not dare to embarrass you again."

Immediately, Li Zhen handed the Tianyu Order to Chen Sheng.

But Chen Sheng was a little hesitant. Could he get the Heavenly Forecast Order just by reaching the fourth floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower?

"May I ask, Senior, if I accept this order, what price will I have to pay?"

"There's no price."

Li Zhen said calmly: "Feiyun City has been fighting against the barbarians for a long time. The City Lord naturally knows the value of high-level cultivators, especially those like you who have a little potential. Moreover, this Heavenly Order is just a kind of protection for you. Even if you add a little bit of power, it is not too precious. However, if you want to truly join the Heavenly Guard, you need to rush to the ninth floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower within a hundred years to prove that you are valuable enough. Otherwise, the City Lord's Mansion will take back this order."

Not until he finished listening to Li Zhen did Chen Sheng finally understand that the divine order was not given to just him.

As of now, there are no less than a hundred Jindan cultivators in Feiyun City who possess this token. They do not belong to any big forces, and all of them come from small families or are simply independent cultivators.

As for why they do this, it has been the tradition of the Heavenly Guards. As long as a cultivator's talent meets certain requirements, the Heavenly Guards will grant him a Heavenly Prediction Order to provide him with a form of protection.

When these monks with certain potential grow up, although they cannot become Heavenly Guards and make great contributions, they can at least become Black Armor Guards and fight against the barbarians to protect the safety of Feiyun City.

This is one of the reasons why Feiyun City has been able to remain prosperous despite frequent battles with the barbarians and years of consumption.

After explaining all this clearly, Li Zhen did not stay any longer but got up and left.

The other party sent such a big gift, and he was a senior, so Chen Sheng sent him all the way to the door of Chen's house with a look of reluctance to leave, and had no intention of going back.

Seeing this, Li Zhen said bluntly: "You don't have to send it off."

According to common etiquette, even if the person is a senior, if there is no special relationship, it is enough to just send him/her to your door.

But Chen Sheng shook his head and said, "Senior Li has come here with great difficulty. I must escort you out of Xicheng District to show my respect."

"As you wish."

Li Zhen didn't care about these little things. Just give it to him if he was willing to do so.

But not long after he walked out of the Chen family, he saw that Chen Sheng actually hung the Heavenly Prediction Order directly around his waist.

This is actually nothing, and many monks who possess this order will do this to avoid trouble.

But Chen Sheng still felt it was not enough. He greeted everyone he met on the road and ran around telling others about it. No matter if they were little children or white-haired old men, or young children practicing Qigong or high-level cultivators who were about to break through to the Void Refining stage, as long as they were human, he would go up to them and chat with them casually, and shake his waist from time to time.

This behavior made Li Zhen's mouth twitch slightly, and his expression seemed ashamed to travel with him, but he was modest and did not step forward to stop him.

The result of Chen Sheng's action was that before the two of them left Xicheng District, almost half of Xicheng knew that the City Lord's Mansion had awarded Chen Sheng a Tianyu Order.

Not only did those small families give up the plan to continue harassing, but even the Pei family and the Situ family, after hearing about this, gave up their previous ideas.

After sending you a thousand miles away, we must eventually say goodbye. When the two were about to leave Xicheng District, Chen Sheng did not continue to follow them. He said goodbye and happily returned to his family.

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and immediately started walking towards the City Lord's Mansion in the North City District.

With his identity as a heavenly guard, he had a smooth journey all the way and went straight into a secret room deep in the city lord's mansion.

A middle-aged man in a green shirt sat in the middle, exuding a unique sword intent. This sword intent was restrained and deep, like a dormant dragon. Although its shape could not be seen, its powerful force could be felt.

The sword intent was not sharp and intimidating, but instead gave people a feeling of tranquility and peace. However, facing the sword intent of this person, Li Zhen could not get close to him at all.

Li Zhen also understood what was going on and stood quietly by the side, waiting.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally, the green-shirted man’s sword intent was completely restrained and he slowly opened his eyes.

Seeing this, Li Zhen's face lit up, and he stepped forward to congratulate him, "Congratulations to the city lord for your great improvement in strength and breaking through the fourteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower. At this rate, it won't be long before you master the Five Elements Sword Intent on the fourteenth floor."

A cultivator at the Lianxu stage can have his spirit leave his body, and does not need to squeeze into the Ten Thousand Swords Tower with other cultivators. As long as he is in Feiyun City, he can enter at any time.

"It's not that easy."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuanxiao, the Lord of Feiyun City, smiled and said, "Even if Emperor Jiang had reached this level, it was at the time of fusion, and it cost a lot. I am still a long way to go."

The two chatted for a while, and Ling Xuanxiao asked, "By the way, how is the kid from the Chen family?"

"I have given him the Heavenly Prediction Order to ensure his normal growth. However, this boy's talent in swordsmanship is only so-so and has not yet reached the point where he can be granted the Heavenly Prediction Order. I wonder what the city lord's intention is in doing this?"

Li Zhen reported back and asked about the doubts in his mind.

According to general standards, only cultivators who can climb to the sixth floor of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower are qualified to possess the Heavenly Forecasting Order. Chen Sheng has barely stepped into the fourth floor and is far from that level.

"Since you have already been to the Chen family, you should know that Chen Sheng is not only a sword cultivator, but also a fifth-level spiritual plant master with outstanding skills!" Ling Xuanxiao said lightly with deep eyes.

"A fifth-level spiritual plant master sword cultivator, do you want him to cultivate the Shuilan Sword Heart Acorus that grows on the tenth floor of the Wanjian Tower?"

Suddenly, Li Zhen seemed to remember something.

From the tenth floor upwards of the Ten Thousand Swords Tower, each floor has grown unique spiritual value after countless years of nurturing.

The Shuilan Sword Heart Acorus is a spiritual plant unique to the tenth floor. Its function is to assist cultivators in comprehending the water attribute sword intent. It is one of the most valuable spiritual plants in the tower. However, this spiritual plant can only grow in a specific environment. Once it leaves, it cannot survive. Therefore, every spiritual plant in the tower is extremely precious.

"That's right. The barbarians are ready to make a move and attack our Feiyun City at any time. In the distance, the Dragon and Phoenix tribes are fighting again. I don't know when it will spread to other continents. We have to prepare early."

Speaking of this, a barely perceptible worry was revealed in Ling Xuanxiao's resolute expression.

The threat of the barbarians is like a sword hanging over our heads, which may be cut down at any time. However, no matter how ferocious they are, it is impossible for them to destroy the Tianyuan Continent in a short period of time. As for the battle between the dragon and the phoenix in the distance, it is hard to say.

Since who knows how many years ago, the dragon, phoenix and unicorn, as the top races in the world of immortal cultivation, have been in constant conflict with each other, and wars of all sizes have been frequent. Ten thousand years ago, the dragon and phoenix races joined forces to destroy the unicorn race, leaving only a small number of survivors.

This fight left half of the immortal cultivation world in ruins, and many races suffered terribly, but they were helpless against the strength of the other side and dared not speak out.

Fortunately, the battlefield was in the territory of the Qilin clan, far away from the Tianyuan Continent, and did not affect here.

Now, thousands of years have passed, and I don't know what's wrong with the two races, but they have started a war again. Unfortunately, the Tianyuan Continent is not too far away from the Dragon Clan, and if they are not careful, they may get burned.

Li Zhen also understood the city lord's plan.

This is to train as many high-level monks as possible before the crisis comes, in order to prevent things from developing to the worst in the future. This is also what a city lord should really do.

He was about to say something when he heard the city lord speak again: "The cultivators in the city who are proficient in swordsmanship and spiritual plants should have discovered almost everything. The seeds have been planted. We are just waiting for the right time to see how they perform. I hope they won't disappoint me."

The north mountain of Kuxiu Mountain.

In the cave, Chen An sat cross-legged quietly on the jade cushion.

Just now, he received the recent experiences transmitted by his clone. These experiences were slowly unfolding before his eyes like a scroll. Of course, there were also the insights into sword intent, which not only made him better understand Feiyun City, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the way of the sword.

"The Ten Thousand Swords Tower seems quite interesting, but it's a pity that I can't experience it in person."

Chen An whispered to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement, as if he could feel the fierce momentum of the swords in the Ten Thousand Swords Tower. However, he was in the distant Dongzhou and could not easily set foot in Feiyun City. He only hoped that he would have a chance to try it in the future.

The clone and Chen Weiyang took away the elites of the clan, leaving only most of the mediocre people on the mountain. However, these people did not give up on themselves. Instead, they practiced more arduously because of the Chen family's system.

At the beginning, Chen An just had some inspiration by chance and put forward a few suggestions. Unexpectedly, with the efforts of Chen Qing, Chen Weiyang, Chen Zishun and others over the years, this system has been gradually improved and matured.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this system is to encourage family monks to actively practice through a series of measures, and the key lies in the distribution.

A contribution value system is established within the clan. Monks gain contribution points by completing family tasks, participating in family activities, etc., and contribution points can be used to exchange for cultivation resources, magic weapons, and techniques, etc.

Monks with high contribution values ​​enjoy priority in resource allocation, such as priority use of rare books in the family library and priority choice of cultivation caves.

The Chen family cultivators can exchange their contribution points for various treasures used by Jindan, Yuanying, and even Shenhua cultivators.

Even, as long as your contribution value is high enough, you can come to Beishan to enjoy the excellent training environment. Of course, this is just a gimmick made up by Chen Qing, and no one has reached this level for many years.

The upper limit of opportunities that can be obtained under this system is unmatched in the entire Dongzhou. If the cultivators of the Chen family want to obtain certain treasures, they can get them as long as they practice step by step and work hard to complete the family tasks.

Because of this, many members of the tribe have developed the habit of hard practice, and among them, Chen Duoduo, who is currently in Beishan, is the most so.

Ever since Chen Duoduo came to Beishan to practice, Chen An has been to Peiling Island several times. However, this kid has been staying indoors all the time, practicing hard, leaving his newest wives and concubines alone at home.

"Alas, Chen Qing is really something. He has been treating his son like a breeding pig for so many years."

Chen An sighed, and couldn't help but think of the time when Chen Duoduo got married. At that time, he didn't want to get married early, but just wanted to concentrate on his cultivation. However, he had no choice but to expand the family under the pressure of Chen Qing.

Among the more than one hundred Chen family elites taken away by his clone, nearly half were his descendants, which shows the results of his many years of hard work.

If he retired after achieving his goal and came to Beishan to practice hard, it would have fulfilled his wish when he was young.

Immediately, Chen An ordered the Black-haired Hound and the Golden Crow Bird to patrol Kuxiu Mountain carefully and not to disturb him easily unless it was a matter of life and death for the family.

Recently, he has been silently paying attention to the situation in Feiyun City through his clone, fearing that the entire army there might be wiped out if he wasn't careful.

Now that the family over there has the Heavenly Forecast Order, as long as they stay in the city safely, they will be worry-free for the time being.

Chen An then felt relieved and had nothing to worry about.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in a flash.

On this day, a spiritual pressure swept out from Chen An’s cave, sweeping across the North Mountain.

The black-haired hound and golden crow bird that were practicing in the North Mountain stopped and looked towards the direction of the cave.

"Bald dog, the master's training speed is so fast, when do you think we can catch up?"

They had long been accustomed to Chen An's stable and rapid breakthroughs in cultivation, but they still felt uncomfortable every time they saw it.

Even though they practiced hard every day and never slacked off, their cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage.

"If we continue to practice in Kuxiu Mountain, we will never catch up with the master in this lifetime. You and I are both demons, and the method of hard practice is relatively inefficient. If we can go out to gain experience and hone our skills, the effect may be better."

When it comes to how to practice faster, Black Haired Hound has his own ideas. He paused and continued, "But I'm different from you. As long as I swallow high-level spiritual plants on time, the effect of my practice will not be bad."

To this point, the Golden Crow nodded undeniably. His talent was one level higher than the Black-haired Hound's. However, it was precisely because of the Black-haired Hound's talent, plus the fact that the Black-haired Hound could swallow the spiritual plants in the spiritual field at will, that there was almost no noticeable difference in the cultivation speed of the two.

Soon, the Golden Crow stopped talking and stared into the distance with a thoughtful look.

After Chen An broke through, he followed the usual practice and activated the Five Poisons Curse Soul Book to curse the Yaksha clan’s great elder Gojin.

I have to say that the vitality of the Yaksha clan is really tenacious. If it were put on an ordinary cultivator of the same level, they would probably have died long ago.

However, judging by the current progress, if he curses a few more times, the other party might not be able to hold on for much longer.

After putting away the book of the Five Poisons Curse Soul, Chen An walked out of the cave and entered the spiritual field.

Passing through patches of colorful spiritual plants, we arrived at the place where the wild elephant fruit was.

This fruit has an obvious effect on physical cultivation. After continuously taking it over the years, Chen An's physical cultivation has further improved and he is about to break through to the middle stage of the fifth level.

This time I came here to pick it, intending to make a breakthrough in my physical cultivation in one go.

[Harvest a 900-year-old Savage Elephant Fruit and gain the magical power of the heavens and the earth]
