Chapter 578 1. Family, no need for formalities
Coming from the mouth of the ancestor of earthly immortals, an ancient and powerful being who ruled the world, the weight of his words is self-evident.
Chen Changsheng quickly returned the greeting, humbly saying, "Senior Zhen Yuanzi, you flatter me. I only won by sheer luck. The primordial world is deep and full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. My meager skills are still far from sufficient."
He knew very well that although he had defeated Randeng, he was by no means invincible.
Leaving aside others, just look at Zhen Yuanzi before us. His hidden power is unfathomable, and with the Book of Earth in hand, he is virtually invincible. And then there's the Styx Ancestor in the Sea of Blood, wielding the two deadly weapons, Yuan Tu and A Bi, and riding on the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus—he is no pushover either.
One should always be humble.
Of course, when it's time to be assertive, you must never back down.
Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and smiled. He could naturally see that Chen Changsheng's humility was genuine, and his goodwill towards him grew even stronger.
"Young friend, there's no need for your modesty. Those three favors I owe are still valid. If you need anything in the future, just send a message to Wuzhuang Temple."
These words sent another jolt through the hearts of the powerful figures around them.
Zhen Yuanzi's favor! This is something even more precious than a primordial spiritual treasure.
It seems that the Ancestor of Earthly Immortals is determined to forge a good relationship with Chen Changsheng.
On the other side, the Styx Ancestor, who had been silent all along, also came over with a cup of blood-red immortal wine.
His eyes were fixed on the God-Slaying Spear in Chen Changsheng's hand, the burning desire and greed in his eyes almost undisguised.
"What a fine gun! Such a potent killing intent! No wonder it's the personal weapon of the Demon Ancestor Rahu!"
The Styx Ancestor licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Boy, your spear, though broken, is still three points stronger than my two swords combined. You're quite good."
This can be considered a compliment from the River Styx.
This killing god never befriends anyone, so it's unprecedented that he's taken the initiative to talk to me today.
Chen Changsheng could sense the overwhelming bloodthirsty aura emanating from the other party, as well as their desire for the God-Slaying Spear.
He calmly put away the God-Slaying Spear and said with a faint smile, "You flatter me, Lord Styx."
He didn't want to get too involved with this madman.
Haotian sat on the imperial throne, taking in all of this, his joy almost overflowing.
Won!
He made the right bet!
Chen Changsheng not only won the battle of magic, but also won the respect and recognition of all the powerful beings in the prehistoric world.
His status as a celestial enforcer will be drastically different after today.
With Chen Changsheng's victory, the majesty of the Heavenly Court was restored.
Haotian was increasingly pleased with Chen Changsheng. This was no ordinary nephew-in-law; he was a precious gift from Heaven to help him rebuild the Heavenly Court!
He had already begun planning how to further increase his support and authority over Chen Changsheng once he returned.
The army of the Law Enforcement Temple can be expanded!
A portion of the Heavenly Treasury can be opened to him!
In short, we must firmly bind this great talent to the Heavenly Court's war chariot!
The atmosphere of the grand event, subtle yet enthusiastic, lasted for several hours.
Finally, as Haotian announced the successful conclusion of the Peach Banquet, the immortals and gods reluctantly rose to take their leave.
Chen Changsheng finally managed to escape from the encirclement of his fellow disciples from the Jie Sect and various powerful figures, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Sometimes, these social engagements are more tiring than a fight.
He turned his head and saw Yang Chan standing not far away, her beautiful eyes gazing at him with deep affection and admiration.
"let's go."
Chen Changsheng stepped forward and naturally took her hand.
Yang Chan blushed slightly, gave a soft "Mmm," and let him lead her.
The two walked side by side on the clouds, away from the hustle and bustle of the Lingxiao Palace, and the surroundings became quiet for a moment.
"Chang Sheng, you were really amazing today." Yang Chan turned her head and looked at her husband's handsome profile, saying sincerely.
"I just did what I was supposed to do." Chen Changsheng smiled. "The Chan Sect has gone too far; someone has to teach them a lesson."
"Mmm." Yang Chan nodded vigorously, feeling a sense of security.
Her husband has grown into a towering tree that can shelter her from the wind and rain, and even protect the entire family.
Instead of returning to Chen Changsheng's Law Enforcement Temple in the Heavenly Court, the two flew off in another direction.
Before long, a magnificent mansion shrouded in ethereal mist and adorned with auspicious rays appeared before the two of them.
The plaque above the mansion bears three large characters written in a flamboyant and elegant style.
"The Princess's Residence".
This is the new residence that Haotian bestowed upon Fairy Yaoji after restoring her title as the Heavenly Princess.
Inside the Princess's residence, pavilions, towers, carved beams, and painted rafters all exude the majesty of the imperial family.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs vied for attention, while cranes and deer strolled leisurely. The rich innate spiritual energy transformed into a thin mist visible to the naked eye, flowing slowly through the mansion.
In the entire Heavenly Court, apart from the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace and the Jade Pool Palace of the Queen Mother of the West, there is almost no other place that one would even dream of having a mansion of this scale.
It's clear that Haotian went to great lengths to make up for his younger sister's shortcomings.
As soon as Chen Changsheng and Yang Chan landed in front of the mansion, a graceful and elegant figure rushed out to greet them.
It was none other than the fairy Yao Ji.
"Mother!"
When Yang Chan saw her mother, her eyes reddened. She let go of Chen Changsheng's hand, ran over quickly, and threw herself into Yao Ji's arms.
"Silly child, why are you crying?"
Yao Ji held her daughter in her arms, gently patting her back, her face full of joy and love at having her daughter back.
Although she was in the palace, Haotian had already sent someone to tell her everything that had happened in the Lingxiao Palace.
When she heard that her son-in-law had single-handedly defeated the Chan Sect in three consecutive battles, and finally forced the Daoist Ran Deng to admit defeat and the Sage Yuanshi Tianzun to leave in a huff, she was completely stunned.
She knew her son-in-law was exceptionally talented, but she never imagined he had reached this level of prowess.
The quasi-saint peak Ancestor Burning Lamp!
That was a veteran powerhouse from the same era as her brother Haotian, and he was defeated so decisively?
This is like listening to gibberish.
The mother and daughter cuddled for a while before Yao Ji took Yang Chan's hand and turned her gaze to Chen Changsheng, who was standing to the side with a smile.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.
There was gratitude, relief, and admiration, but more than anything, there was a heartfelt sense of recognition and pride.
"Chang Sheng, come in and sit down."
Yao Ji greeted him warmly, and the way she looked at Chen Changsheng was no longer the scrutinizing gaze of an elder looking at a junior. Instead, she truly regarded him as a family member she could rely on and the pillar of the family.
"Mother-in-law," Chen Changsheng said respectfully, bowing.
"We're family, no need for formalities." Yao Ji quickly helped him up and led him and Yang Chan into the hall.
