Chapter 2173

Looking at Zi Chen's changing expression, Geng Yuanpin was a little proud. He snorted and threatened, "Humph, now you know how powerful the Doff family is. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. Otherwise, you'll end up miserable. Perhaps even death is a luxury."

Zi Chen looked at Geng Yuanpin and asked in a low voice, "Why is he targeting the Yao family? What's the reason?"

"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that it's because of that person back then. Oh, that person should be your teacher. It's said that when your teacher went deep into the Star Path, he went directly to the Doff family and killed the closest person to Young Master Hill. Your teacher's whereabouts are unknown now. No one knows whether he's dead or alive. He can't take revenge, so he can only destroy what your teacher once wanted to protect. So, you …"

Zi Chen interrupted Geng Yuanpin's threat again and said, "Where is he now? What's his current realm?"

"He'll come at any time, so he's naturally a Saint. In addition, he has other guards with him. These guards are all very powerful. Not only are there Saint Kings, but there are even Supreme Saints. When he comes to this Star Field and doesn't see me for a long time, the consequences will be very serious. If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. When the time comes, I'll say a few good words in front of Young Master Hill and let you go," Geng Yuanpin threatened again.

Zi Chen curled his lips. Did this guy take him for a fool? The two sides were already at loggerheads. How could he let him go and say a few good words? Who was he kidding?

Ignoring Geng Yuanpin's threats and shouts, Zi Chen turned and left. Xing Chen followed.

Zi Chen walked out with a solemn expression on his face.

Xing Chen glanced at Zi Chen and said, "Don't listen to him. That guy is talking nonsense. The Doff family is indeed very powerful, but it's impossible to have a Supreme Saint as a guard. Even a Saint King is impossible, let alone a Supreme Saint. However, with the strength of the Doff family, they should have Saint guards by their side."

Geng Yuanchan wasn't stupid. He could tell that Zi Chen didn't know much about the Star Path, so he deliberately used these two experts to scare him. But what he didn't know was that in Xing Chen's memories, there were some fragments of the Star Ancestor's memories. Geng Yuanchan could fool Zi Chen, but he couldn't fool him.

A Supreme Saint as a guard.

In front of people who knew the industry, this was simply a laughingstock.

"Anyway, I'm afraid it's not safe for the Glory family to stay here. The thing underground should be related to their bloodline seal. Let's go and have a look later. If we can undo their bloodline curse, we'll take them with us," Zi Chen said in a low voice.

The Universal Original Cauldron was big enough to take these people with it. Besides, Zi Chen's ultimate goal was to break through to the Saint Realm and then return to the life star. It shouldn't be a problem to take these people with him.

"It's better to go and have a look. Oh, right. What should we do with Geng Yuanpin?" Xing Chen looked at Zi Chen.

"Kill him," Zi Chen said coldly.

"He's a Spirit Devourer. Even if he can't break through, he's still a top Spirit Devourer. It's a pity to kill him." Xing Chen looked at Zi Chen in astonishment.

"This guy is a complete disaster. Leaving him alive will bring us a lot of trouble. His usefulness is not proportional to the trouble. Just kill him."

Seeing Zi Chen's firm attitude, Xing Chen nodded.

After finding someone else to deal with Geng Yuanpin, the two went directly to the depths of the Glory family. Before going underground, they wanted to see the situation of Brilliant.

Brilliant's residence was independent. It was a forbidden area in the Glory family. Outsiders couldn't set foot there.

Because of Zi Chen's contribution to the Glory family, they made an exception and let the two enter.

This was the symbol of the Glory family. There was nothing special about it, not even a restriction. After passing through the corridor of the hall, the two came to Brilliant's residence. A faint fragrance filled the room.

Zi Chen and Xing Chen walked in directly. Elder Mei and two female cultivators were taking care of Brilliant. When they saw the two come in, they immediately stood up.

"How's Dazzling?" Zi Chen asked with concern.

Elder Mei shook her head. There was a trace of worry between her eyebrows. "He hasn't woken up yet."

At this moment, Brilliant was lying on the bed like a sleeping beauty. Her face was rosy, her eyes were picturesque, and her breathing was even. She looked like she was asleep. There were no injuries on her body, but she still hadn't woken up. It was very worrying.

"Did something happen to her soul?" Zi Chen asked.

"It seems so." Elder Mei nodded at first, then shook her head. She didn't know.

"What kind of soul did she fuse with? Why did she suddenly enter the Saint realm?" Zi Chen asked again.

Elder Mei shook her head again.

"You're the most powerful elder in the Glory family. She's the Angel. How can you not know about her situation?" Zi Chen asked. He felt that she was hiding something.

"This is the forbidden area of the Glory family. Apart from the Angel, outsiders can't set foot here. Even the maids can't enter. All these years, we've only met in the meeting hall. The Angel has always been in the Heaven realm. We don't know why she suddenly entered the Saint realm." Elder Mei explained in detail.

Xing Chen was silent. Zi Chen still didn't understand. Elder Mei told Zi Chen in detail about the Angel.

It turned out that Brilliant was appointed by the previous Angel. Her origin had always been a mystery in the Glory family. Ever since the previous Angel died, Brilliant had become the Angel.

What was worth mentioning was that the previous Heavenly Lady was a Saint.

Just as Zi Chen was wondering if Brilliant's condition had anything to do with the previous Goddess, he saw Brilliant's long eyelashes tremble slightly. Then, he opened his big bright eyes, and the room was instantly lit up.

"She's awake."

Seeing Brilliant open her eyes, a few people immediately showed joy on their faces. They all went forward.

"How are you?" Zi Chen came to the bedside and looked at Brilliant with concern.

Brilliant slowly got up, pursed her red lips, and gently shook her head. "It's nothing serious. It's just that the timing wasn't right. I'll be fine after more rest."

"Then you rest well. I'll go underground with Xing Chen to check out the situation." Zi Chen pretended to leave.

"I'm fine. We can't go underground from the outside. I'll take you through the entrance."

As she spoke, Brilliant got out of bed and her condition gradually improved.

Clearly, Brilliant knew a little about the underground. Zi Chen asked, "Do you know what's underground?"

"I don't know. The Angel only told me that it was the source of the bloodline curse. As for what's there, I've never been there, so I don't know."

After a simple grooming, Brilliant walked to a corner of the room and raised her hand to shoot out a beam of energy.

Her energy was mixed with some Saint power, but it wasn't strong. This should be the aftereffect of the previous fusion.

As the beam of energy fell, the space here began to ripple. Then, the space distorted and formed a black hole.

The moment the black hole appeared, Zi Chen's expression changed slightly. His heartbeat suddenly sped up.

The two female cultivators stayed outside while Zi Chen and the others walked toward the black hole.

After passing through the black hole, Zi Chen saw a series of stone steps. The stone steps meandered and extended downwards.

As they went deeper, Zi Chen's heartbeat became faster and faster. It was as if he sensed something that made him very nervous.

However, Zi Chen clearly sensed that this nervousness came from the Heart of the God and not from himself.

"Could there be something underground that's related to the Heart of the God?" Zi Chen couldn't help but guess as he recalled the first time he came here and the beating of the Heart of the God.

They quickly reached the end of the stone steps, and a large expanse of light appeared in front of them. At the same time, a terrifying pressure formed in this open area.

"That's …"

After arriving at this open area and looking at the only thing at the center, the four of them were stunned.

It was a thick arm that stood there like a wall. Above the arm, the five fingers were clenched into a fist, just like the fist that had rushed out of the ground that day. It was filled with a sense of power.

That terrifying pressure came from that fist.

Around the fist, there were a total of nine beams of energy. They were like chains that wrapped around the fist layer by layer.

Among these nine beams of energy, Zi Chen saw a violent and dazzling golden light and a cold silver light. The yin and yang energy in his body were drawn and became active.

That was yin and yang energy, which belonged to Wuji.

In addition, among the remaining seven beams of energy, three were the purest Glorious Energy. The remaining four were emitting a blood-red light. Within those lights, there were many mixed auras. Those were bloodline energy.

The nine beams of energy extended down from the sky and wrapped around the fist. The yin and yang energy among them became slightly dim.

Seeing the clenched left fist and the nine beams of energy, everyone was stunned.

"I understand now."

After carefully looking at the nine beams of energy, Brilliant said after a while, "We did not use the trump card that Wuji left behind back then. However, the energy has been flowing away for many years. The flow is not due to the natural depletion of the formation, but because it is being absorbed by the energy chains here."

"The blood-red energy should be the power of the bloodline of our Glorious Clan. What has been supporting us for many years is not a curse, but a seal … a bloodline seal."

Elder Mei seemed to understand quickly. She nodded and said, "That's right. This is a seal targeted at this fist. The purpose of the Glorious Clan's existence is to seal this thing."

Then, shame appeared on her face again. Back then, Wuji had clearly done it for them. However, his clansmen were full of resentment toward Wuji.

"What is this fist? Why is it sealed? It was clearly this fist that saved us." Xing Chen frowned and was puzzled.

"Back then, when I was filling it with yin and yang energy, I felt the energy flowing away. I thought it was because the seal had been sealed for too long, so I did not pay too much attention to it. It seems that my perception was not wrong. The reason for everything lies here."

Unlike the others, Zi Chen's eyes were fixed on the clenched fist. Compared to the others, he knew why the fist was sealed.

"I understand now!"

Looking at the fist, Zi Chen muttered.

At this moment, his heart was beating violently. This was a natural reaction when encountering the same thing.

Yes, it was the same thing.

It was the left arm of a Celestial God. It could also be called the left hand of a Celestial God.

"You are finally here."

Just as Zi Chen understood the meaning of the arm, an old voice suddenly sounded. This made everyone's heart tighten.
