"I..." Lu Chen couldn't hold it in any longer, "Haha..." "Okay, you'd better call me Lu Chen. If not, just call me brother Lu. If you call me grandpa, I always feel like you're cursing me to death!" "
Hearing this, Lu Yuheng's embarrassed expression softened a lot, and he said happily, "Haha, let's go, let's take you to where you live first!"
"That Grandpa Chen..." Lu Tang came over and wanted to speak, but this title really made him feel awkward.
"Brother Lu!" Lu Chen said.
"Okay, okay, Brother Lu, the patriarch has reached a critical moment in seclusion, and there are still a few days before he can come out, so I have wronged you in the past few days!"
"It doesn't matter, I've gained some cultivation insights in the past few days, and it's just a good time to consolidate them." Lu Chen waved his hand nonchalantly.
"See you off, ancestor!" Seeing Lu Chen and his group leaving, all the disciples of the Lu family couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and saluted in unison.
"Huh, Uncle Yuru is so lucky. He has a spiritual weapon just after we met!" Some disciples still couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Huh, a sinner. He is so arrogant just after returning to the clan. He really thinks that he is the heir to the head of the Lu clan!" A disciple looked angry.
"Shut up, lest Ancestor hears this and make you walk around without food!" the companion next to him warned.
"Why don't you say the grapes are sour because you can't eat them? What kind of status do you have to comment on this person?"
"Come on, the position of patriarch is only obtained by those who are capable. Do you really think it is based on seniority?"
…
Naturally, Lu Chen and others could not hear the discussion among the disciples. The four of them were standing in front of a mansion. No, the building complex in front of them could no longer be described as a mansion, it was simply a palace.
There is no splendor like the royal family, but an indescribable momentum and simplicity, like a beast that has been dormant for endless years.
Standing in front of this palace, one feels so small and invisible!
"Do I live here?" Lu Chen couldn't help but frown.
"Brother Lu, this was arranged by the clan leader before the retreat. Although it is not as splendid as the royal family, it is already a top guest room in the Lu clan!" Lu Tang spoke hurriedly, winking at Lu Yuheng beside him.
When the latter saw this, he glared at him, "Brother Lu feels uncomfortable living here, just change to a smaller courtyard!"
"Ah?" Lu Tang was stunned and looked at Lu Chen with a strange expression. Seeing the latter nodding, he looked around with an embarrassed expression.
"If the clan leader knew that I didn't let you live in this hall, he might have to kill me!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned slightly, "Is there any explanation for this?"
Just at a glance, Lu Chen felt that this palace was not simple, not an ordinary building. Hearing what Lu Tang said, he couldn't help but close his eyes, and the power of his soul slowly spread.
Just for a moment, Lu Chen couldn't help but take a few steps back and looked at the palace in front of him with a horrified expression.
"Brother Lu, are you okay?" Lu Tang hurriedly helped Lu Chen, "This place is not allowed to be explored. Only the past clan leaders can enter!"
"Then let me in?" Lu Chen glanced at Lu Tang angrily.
At the moment just now, he felt that this palace was a dark and bottomless abyss, with no end in sight, swallowing everything, even his soul power and consciousness.
If he was any slower, he guessed that the whole person would be swallowed up. This place was so terrifying that he even thought for a time that this was just a trap by the Lu family.
"This is the clan leader's arrangement. He probably wants to see you!" Lu Tang explained hurriedly.
Lu Chen had a depressed look on his face when he heard this. He was still palpitating at this moment. Just for a moment, he felt that he almost fell into the dark cracks in the earth.
"Has no one ever entered here?"
Lu Tang shook his head, "In the clan, this is a restricted area. Only the clan leader can enter. You are already a special case!"
Lu Yuheng also nodded when he heard this, "That's true. I'm not afraid of your jokes. This is also the first time for us to have such close contact with this palace!"
Lu Chen shook his head, the panic in his heart still felt, "Change the place!"
He doesn't want to touch this palace
, so weird.
Everything will be discussed after the retreat of the Lu clan leader is over. At that time, even if it is a trap, he will have to go through it.
Looking at the quiet courtyard, Lu Chen couldn't help but nodded, very satisfied. He still preferred this kind of quiet and simple courtyard. Whether in Gucheng or in the capital of Daluo, he lived in such a courtyard.
"Brother Lu, would it be possible to live here..." Lu Tang couldn't help but speak as he looked around. It was really a bit shabby here.
Of course, this was in Lu Tang's eyes. He believed that Lu Chen should not live in such a place. Even if most of the Lu family's children lived like this, Lu Chen should not be allowed to live here.
"It's quiet all around, why not? Okay, you all go and do your work, it's time for me to rest too!" Lu Chen pushed Lu Tang and Lu Yuheng out of the courtyard.
"Senior Luo Ji, choose one for yourself!" Lu Chen said, pointing to the three rooms.
"You kid, stop talking like a senior. From now on, if you don't mind, just call me brother Luo Ji. After all, he is your protector. There is no need to be so outspoken!"
"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Luo Ji. I don't like too many rules either!"
"We are similar in this way, but unfortunately, even as your protector, I can't stay with you for too long!" Luo Ji sighed.
"Oh?" Lu Chen was surprised, "Brother Luo Ji has something important to leave?"
Luo Ji shook his head, "I've discovered along the way that your boy's path is not easy. It seems that the entire Lu family is revolving around you. I believe it won't be long before your strength will advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, I, the protector, will His identity is naturally countless!"
"Brother Luo Ji!" Lu Chen just started to speak, but Luo Ji stopped him, "With great strength, it's normal for you to have a stronger protector. But when you reach the Lingzong realm, it doesn't matter whether you change the protector or not. It’s necessary, not to mention that when you reach my level, you have grown up and don’t need a protector anymore!”
"But..." Lu Chen wanted to speak, Luo Ji patted his shoulder, "No need to blame yourself, this is my opportunity. When you become stronger in the future, I will also be enlightened. Of course, if you fall, I will also be affected." Punishment according to the rules!"
Seeing this, Lu Chen could only smile.
"Okay, I'll take the one on the right!"
Looking at the back of Luo Ji who walked into the side room on the right, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I can't even think about being strong!"
Apart from simple furniture, there was nothing else in the house, but it was more than enough for living. After a brief glance, Lu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, his handprints changing, and his body's spiritual energy flowing rapidly.
A few hours passed, and he slowly opened his eyes and stretched, "There still hasn't been much progress. Is the tenth level of the Spirit King Realm the end of this realm?"
Lu Chen frowned. This was a road that no one else had ever walked. Even the little white fox was puzzled. It was not a human race, and it was not particularly clear about the cultivation realm of the human race.
According to common sense in the mainland, the ninth level of the Soul King Realm is the end. As for the peak of the Soul King Realm, it is just a matter of stabilizing oneself at the ninth level in order to better sprint to the Spirit King Realm.
As for Lu Chen, he has truly surpassed the ninth level of the Spiritual King Realm and entered a brand new realm. However, this road needs to be explored by himself, a road that no one has traveled on this continent.
At least, he had never heard of it in this era.
"It would be great if she were here!" Lu Chen missed that veiled figure.
He stood up slowly and glanced at the sky. His figure flashed and appeared on the roof. He took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged again.
The sky gradually turned brighter and the sun rose in the east. Lu Tang brought breakfast into the courtyard and saw Lu Chen already sitting cross-legged on the roof. A strange look flashed in his eyes, "Brother Lu, are you practicing?"
Lu Chen jumped down and said with a smile, "You're really early. I don't know if it will be useful to absorb a little purple energy!"
"Purple energy?" Lu Tang was surprised, "Is the purple energy of the Daxia royal family coming from the east?"
Lu Chen nodded, "I don't expect the purple energy that I have cultivated in the heavenly realm to come to the east. I just need to increase my combat power!"
Hearing this, Lu Tang could only clasp his fists, "It's hard for you to become strong if you practice like this. Starting late does not mean that your future will be short. On the contrary, starting late is also a blessing!"
"What do you mean by this?" Lu Chen called Luo Ji and asked while eating breakfast.
Luo Ji, who had just come out, heard this and said, "The strong men of the same generation will only compete with those who are stronger than themselves. If you have fallen behind since you were a child, they will naturally not target you, so you will be safer!"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, "So having a low cultivation level is also a blessing!"
"Since ancient times, there have been many late bloomers who usually did nothing but accumulated a lot of achievements. In a very short period of time, they soared to the sky and stood at the top of the Tao!" Lu Yuheng said.
Lu Chen nodded. The elder of this kind of ascetic had also mentioned it to him, and the final achievements of these ascetics were extremely amazing, and their understanding of the Tao was extremely profound.
Lu Tang glanced at Lu Yuheng, "By the way, the clan leader still has three days to leave seclusion, and you still have to stay for three days. Last night, there seems to be some bad news that has a lot to do with you!"
Lu Chen frowned slightly, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Lu Tang nodded, but did not elaborate in the end, "Let's wait until the clan leader comes out of seclusion to discuss this matter. You should have a good rest these three days, and if you need anything, just ask!"
Lu Chen was overjoyed, with a strange smile on his face, "Is there any heaven-level technique?"
"Uh..." Lu Tang and Lu Yuheng were waxed on the spot, and even Luo Ji couldn't stand it anymore.
The two of them thought for a moment, "The Lu clan should have heaven-level skills, but you have to ask the clan leader!"
"Really?" Lu Chen was overjoyed. Heavenly level skills were envied by all the major forces in the Central Territory. He had never thought that his clan would have such skills.
"You guessed it!" Lu Yuheng said, and Lu Chen was so angry that he almost punched him, not for something so exciting.
"Maybe there really is one in the clan!" Lu Tang saw Lu Chen rolling his eyes and spoke again.
"Guess?" Lu Chen looked disdainful. Unexpectedly, Lu Tang nodded seriously, and Lu Chen had no appetite for breakfast.
Seeing the two of them acting like this, he really wanted to enlighten them, but unfortunately, his strength did not allow it, and he was really no match for the two of them without using his trump card.
