Chapter 5: Soul Power Cultivation
"The Stone of Inheritance?" Hearing these words in his father's mouth, Shang Chen didn't expect this stone that didn't look very good to be so important, and his small mouth immediately opened:
"How do I look like this stone is no different from ordinary ornamental jade?"
Shang Mingxuan stared at this so-called spar, his face was very solemn, he looked at Shang Chen, and then looked at the spar in the box again, and he also looked helpless, and complained:
"It seems that there is no reaction, in fact, my father doesn't know what the effect of this spar is, and he thought it would have some kind of reaction with you before!"
"Father, what is the inheritance you are talking about, and what is the origin of this stone?" Seeing this inheritance stone, the young man directly said the doubts in his heart.
Tonight, Shang Chen felt that he couldn't accept it all of a sudden, everything was fine before, and at this time, he suddenly broke out of something.
Shang Mingxuan took a deep breath, felt a sense of calmness, looked at the night sky through the window, and said in detail:
"Well, the mission of our Shang clan is to wait for your birth, and when you become an adult, we will hand over this spar to you, and the mission of our Shang clan will be completed! As for this spar pendant, it is true that it has been passed down by the patriarchs of the past dynasties, and it is said that it has a close relationship with your 'contrary to common sense', we have just been waiting!"
Shang Chen looked at his father with wide eyes and felt a trance.
"It has something to do with my background? So this thing can solve the mystery in my body? That means that after figuring out this problem, maybe I will be able to cultivate?"
Shang Chen didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a while, it was naturally good to be able to unravel it, but it also meant that he didn't have the ability to resist the attack of the soul aura, and he had to start cultivating from scratch;
To be honest, Shang Chen was also annoyed, since this thing was related to him, why didn't his father take it out earlier? Up to now, the young man seemed to be confused, how should he choose in the future? And in addition to the dust clan and what mission, of course, there is also this spar, and there is nothing he knows, which makes the young man very helpless at this moment.
Seeing the entanglement in his son's heart, Shang Mingxuan also felt a little self-blame, and comforted slightly: "Chen'er, today my father has already told you everything he knows, maybe the ancestors of our Shang clan know more, but it is also passed on less and less, and that's all there is to me, this stone is also an entrustment, it should be handed over to you on your adult day, so you can take it!"
After speaking, Shang Mingxuan closed the box and handed it to Shang Chen.
He took it in a daze, but his heart was in chaos: "The entrustment of the dust clan? Waiting for his own arrival? What should he do in the future? Do you also have any mission? What is your specialness? And this spar pendant in your hand, where should you go in the future?"
Shang Chen longs for someone to give answers one by one, and now he is like a traveler in the depths of the desert, with no help, no direction, and some are just confused. Even the father, the man who could solve any problem for him in his heart, was powerless at the moment.
Shang Chen took out the pendant, held it in the palm of his hand, and clenched his fists hard, how much he expected this spar to have some kind of reaction at this moment, but this stone seemed to say-I'm just an ordinary stone.
Suppressing the incomprehension in his heart, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, since this stone is related to himself, then keep it. He put the pendant on his chest, and thought about it, it would be bad if it was seen by other people who knew this thing, so Shang Chen simply stuffed the spar into his clothes.
"Then you can't see it!" muttered the young man, clapping his hands, still thinking about a series of questions, sure that he would not be able to sleep tonight.
"Father, do you know how many years this inheritance has?"
Thinking of that earthly clan, since my father said that it was an ancient era, I don't know how many years have passed, how can he imagine that era now?
In this new era, the lifespan of ordinary people is only about 100 years old, and if they cultivate to a higher realm, their lifespan will be extended, and they don't know what realm they can reach in order to live forever? Or maybe this doesn't exist at all, when it comes to the ancient era, he has almost never thought about this question before, what happened in the ancient era? The words of his father before made Shang Chen think of these unconsciously.
"Speaking of the years!" Shang Mingxuan looked at the night outside the window, seemed to be in deep thought, and after a moment he spit out a sentence uncertainly-
"It's been at least 8,000 years. ”
I don't know how many generations have passed through the endless years, Shang Mingxuan almost forgot the so-called inheritance of the Shang family, and at first he didn't think that this would happen to his son suddenly, thinking about Shang Mingxuan, he shook his head and walked out slowly.
"Chen'er, let's have a good rest today! It's a coming-of-age ceremony in three days, don't be impulsive when the time comes!" Like Shang Chen, Shang Mingxuan may not be able to sleep tonight.
"Got it! That's how it's been for so many years anyway!"
In response, Shang Chen lay on the bed, exhaled a turbid breath, and threw the box aside. No matter how delicate and unique the box is, Shangchen has no intention of caring about it now, and his mind is now full of a series of questions, what kind of coming-of-age ceremony is there!
"It's a bar mitzvah in a few days,...... Ahh
"Forget it, don't care, it's okay where you go!" Shang Chen muttered to himself, then sat up cross-legged, and activated his soul power......
......
Three days later, the middle courtyard of the Shang family, the altar of the family.
"Shang Chen, one star of the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Elder Shang Yuanqing was reluctant, but today was the Shang clan's coming-of-age ceremony, and he could only follow it.
With this announcement, there was a noise in the audience. As the son of the patriarch, he has not advanced at all for sixteen years, which is undoubtedly a big joke.
"This is Shang Chen, Shang Mingxuan's son, why is he so weak? Even I am three stars, tsk......"
"Hmph, the second generation of the big family, it seems that he is another gentleman, if this is left in an ordinary family, it is not a fart!"
"Don't say it's so ugly!
"Afraid of his Shang clan, our young patriarch of the Kayi clan is all nine stars of the soul realm!"
Shang Chen stood on the altar, the gossip in his ears made him feel a burst of self-deprecation, it seemed that he was really a weak chicken in the eyes of others. Recalling the hardships he had spent in the past sixteen years of refining his body, exercising his physical fitness, and improving his soul power, Shang Chen couldn't help but feel a cloud of anger in his heart.
But who is to blame for this? Father, in order to hide Shang Chen's strangeness, the elders forbade anyone to challenge him, so naturally no one would know Shang Chen's strength.
A burst of ridicule fell into the young man's ears, as if to negate his efforts over the years, Shang Chen clenched his teeth, and his handsome and delicate cheeks showed green muscles. The young man took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and recalled his father's instructions, Shang Chen knew that now was not the time to act rashly.
"Shang Xue, six stars of the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Different from before, the sound of the announcement at this moment brought a wave of envy, at the same time, a girl in white trotted out of the crowd, and landed on the altar with a leap, the girl's face was sweet and delicate, her black hair brought a fragrance, and her snow-white robe was spotless, and sure enough, she was as her name - Shang Xue.
The appearance of the girl immediately attracted the admiring eyes of a group of teenagers.
"That's Shang Xue, so beautiful!"
"Don't be a nymphomaniac like this, even if you are not enough for three of you!"
"It's worthy of Elder Shang He's daughter-in-law, it's different from us miscellaneous fish;
"I thought the Shang people were all waste wood!"
Because of the soul of the Spirit Realm, it is difficult for Shang Chen to think of this voice of ridicule, but thanks to this Yuan Soul, his control of the state of mind is also more pure.
"Brother Shang Chen, I'm sorry!" may have also heard these sarcastic words, Shang Xue symbolically relieved, and there was no fluctuation on her face.
Shang Chen didn't know that Shang Xue's gaze and words contained not comfort and concern, but overlooking pity and sympathy. Shang Chen also knew that Shang Xue's nature was not bad, but the world's eyes made her have to do this, and he didn't want Shang Xue to suffer the sin of the cold eyes of this world with him.
The young man smiled faintly, and his handsome face showed the composure and perseverance that should not be there in this age: "There is nothing to be sorry for, today should be your dazzling day." ”
Shang Xue stared at Shang Chen's cheeks, a little stunned, recalling what her father had said when she was a child, Shang Xue seemed to feel that the young man in front of her was not Shang Chen, but an existence that was unattainable for her, was it an illusion? Shang Xue felt a little panicked inexplicably.
"Shang Xinyu, Seven Stars of the Soul Qi Realm!Shang Zhan, Nine Stars of the Soul Qi Realm!" When he read the coming-of-age ceremony, Elder Shang Yuan felt a little shocked, even unbelievable!
In the respectful and envious gaze of the crowd, a young man in a yellow-green robe and a woman in a green robe slowly walked to the altar, as if they wanted to enjoy this moment of humility more, especially the young man, whose face showed a noble rebelliousness, and he didn't even look at Shang Chen.
"Oh my God, Jiuxing, what a demonic existence this must be!"
"Xinyu is not bad, it's all seven stars!"
The woman in Tsing Yi was as cold as ice, exuding an extraordinary temperament, with a hint of enchantment accompanied by a mature beauty; unlike Shang Xue before, Shang Xinyu looked more mature and extravagant, and her bumpy figure made it hard to believe that this would be a sixteen-year-old girl.
Although he was only in the realm of seven stars, the charm exuded by Shang Xinyu attracted more attention.
Shang Chen glanced at Shang Xinyu, and his heart trembled, I have to say that this Shang Xinyu is indeed amazing today, if it weren't for the fact that she always looked at her coldly, I was afraid that I would be moved at this moment......
