Chapter 2200 – Arrival (Part 1/2)

In the hall, Chen Xi who wore an apricot yellow Daoist robe had quite a headache.

Even though he was a clone, his mind, intelligence, character, flesh, and blood were all similar to his main body. There was no difference between them at all.

However, he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry because since his main body had attained the Godrank Realm and headed to the Ancient God Domain, all of his friends and family had treated him as a mere clone, and he was unable to replace his main body’s position in their hearts at all.

For example, both Qing Xiuyi and Fan Yunlan were his Dao Companions, but they’d constantly treated him as a clone throughout these years, and he was really at a loss for whether he should laugh or cry.

It was even to the extent that those two little fellows, Chen Yu and Chen An, weren’t willing to get close to him, and they constantly refused to address him by name.

That wasn’t a huge deal, and his clone understood their feelings. After all, all of this had arisen out of their perceptions and feelings towards him, and feelings were usually unreasonable.

So, he wasn’t able to change the current situation. Thus, Chen Xi’s clone had been practically spending all his time throughout these years in meditation, and he was rarely able to enjoy any gatherings with these friends and family of his.

Needless to say, it was a regret indeed.

At the very least, every single time he thought about this, Chen Xi’s clone would have the pressing desire for his main body to return and put an end to this incorrect understanding.

As if his main body had finally heard him, a wave of clear light had suddenly descended from the sky of the Immortal Dimension just a few days ago, and then his main body’s voice resounded while a change suddenly occurred in the Heaven Dao, causing all the myriad of living beings in the Immortal Dimension to be socked and explode into countless uproars.

This allowed everyone to realize that Chen Xi’s main body would probably be returning to the Immortal Dimension soon!

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Chen Xi’s clone to continue cultivating even if he wanted to. Because practically all his friends and family knew that he was one with his main body, and he would be aware at the first possible moment if Chen Xi’s main body had returned.

So, it didn’t take long for a huge group of them to surge into the hall which Chen Xi’s clone resided in.

Just like this very moment, it wasn’t just Qing Xiuyi and Fan Yunlan who were in the hall, even Chen Hao, Fei Lengcui, and the others from the Pine Mist City’s Chen Clan were all within the hall.

Chen Hao had a single son in his line, and it was Chen Yu. Chen Yu’s wife was Yue Wenting, and the two of them had a son who was nicknamed Chen Bao’bao and actually named Chen Baojing.

On the other hand, as for Chen Xi’s wives, he had Qing Xiuyi and Fan Yunlan who’d respectively given birth to Chen An and Chen Nuo.

Chen An’s wife, Wei Zitong, had a daughter with him who was nicknamed Chen Yun’yun and actually named Chen Yunzhi.

Those were the most important core figures of the current Chen Clan.

Of course, they weren’t the only descendants of the Pine Mist City’s Chen Clan.

Countless years had passed since Chen Xi had utilized Emperor Yu’s Nine Continent Divine Cauldron to transport the entire minor world, Ancient Hall, which was home to the Darchu Dynasty to Dao Emperor Academy.

In these years, the Chen Clan had the presence of Chen Xi’s clone and the protection of the Dao Emperor Academy, so its strength had undergone numerous transformations and grew with each passing day. It couldn’t be compared to the past at all.

However, only the most important core figures of the Pine Mist City’s Chen Clan could enter Chen Xi’s clone’s residence.

Besides them, a few friends who had a close relationship with him were qualified to meet Chen Xi’s clone, like the Profound-vision Old Turtle King Xuan Jing, the Nine-tailed Fox King Qing Qiu, the Emperor of the Darchu Dynasty Huangfu Zhongling, the Supreme Elder of the Wanderingcloud Sword Sect Bei Heng, the Sect Master of the Wandering Cloud Sword Sect Ling Kong’zi, and various others.

At this moment, all of these core figures of the Chen Clan and Chen Xi’s close friends from all those years ago were gathered within the hall.

Every single one of them was asking for news of Chen Xi’s main body, and they seemed extremely impatient.

So, Chen Xi’s clone had a headache. After all, he hadn’t sensed the aura of his main body in the Immortal Dimension at all, so how could he answer them?

He’d explained on more than one occasion, but the people gathered in the hall were clearly doubtful, so he was at a loss for what to do.

“Clone, don’t blame me for being rude if you don’t tell us the truth!” Suddenly, an extremely magnificent and imposing divine beast, Pixiu, stood up lazily from the ground. He was like a snow white lion with the whiskers of a dragon, and he had golden pupils within his jade green eyes.

There was a very tiny white clothes figure standing on the Pixiu’s head with his arms crossed before his chest, and his handsome face was filled with pride and arrogance. At this moment, he was glaring coldly at Chen Xi’s clone.

Surprisingly, it was Ling Bai and Bai Kui!

However, while Bai Kui’s appearance hadn’t changed after so many years, the infant Pixiu, Bai Kui, had grown up into a true Auspicious Beast, Pixiu!

Many others immediately chimed in with support when they heard Ling Bai. Especially Chen Bao’bao and Chen Yun’yun. They even seemed like they wished for nothing but to see the world burn, and they started to cheer for and encourage Ling Bai.

Chen Xi’s clone was instantly exasperated and gritted his teeth as he glared at Ling Bai. “Ling Bai, you actually dare to grow more and more audacious before me!? Why don’t you tell me how you’ll be rude to me?”

Ling Bai raised his chin, and then grunted coldly in a proud tone. “It’s very simple, I’ll give you a beating!”

Chen Xi’s clone couldn’t help but chuckle. “Give me a beating? Are you sure?”

Ling Bai’s face fell. “Stop looking down on me. I’m not a match for you by myself, but what if Bai Kui and A’Man join me?”

Bai Kui shook his head and then roared loudly as if he was making a show of strength.

The little yellow bear, A’Man, who had an immortal fruit in his arms and was gobbling it up instantly opened his eyes wide, and he struck his chest and spoke fiercely. “Right, I’m here as well!”

“Me too!” A horned divine beast that was like a Qilin yet wasn’t a Qilin and was completely covered in dreamlike starlight shot his deep gemlike eyes towards Chen Xi’s clone.

It was the Starsoul Beast, Starry. It was a divine beast that Chen Xi had obtained by chance in the Immortal Dimension, and it was clearly much stronger than it had been in the past.

“Right, Starry is with us as well!” Ling Bai nodded like a commanding general, and he gazed provocatively at Chen Xi’s clone with Ling Bai, A’Man, and Starry.

Chen Xi’s clone was speechless. He couldn’t help but rub his strained forehead and seemed to be having a headache as he said, “Stop causing trouble. I’ll lock all of you up if you continue annoying me, and you can dream of eating anything!”

These words were simply like extraordinary disrespect and a huge threat to gluttons like them!

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Bai, Bai Kui, A’Man, and Starry were furious.

“Don’t you dare!”

“I’ll fight you to the death!”

Roar! Roar!

When they saw Ling Bai and the others reveal murderous looks on their faces as they sought to attack Chen Xi, all the others in the hall didn’t have any intention to stop Ling Bai’s group. Moreover, they even clapped and applauded Ling Bai’s group as if they craved such chaos.

Chen Xi’s clone was instantly infuriated upon witnessing this, and he stood up swiftly and gritted his teeth. “Looks like I’ve been too easy on all of you throughout these years. Your bodies are itching for a beating, huh!?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall thought that a show was about to begin. However, Chen Xi’s clone was suddenly stunned on the spot as if his soul had left his body.

However, Ling Bai and the others didn’t care about all of that, and they instantly charged forward and attacked ferociously.

It seemed like they intended to teach Chen Xi’s clone a good lesson.

However, right at this moment, a strange smile suddenly curled up onto the corners of Chen Xi’s clone’s lips, and then he raised his right hand lightly and grabbed Ling Bai. Next, he swung his left hand lightly, and then Bai Kui fell backward on his butt while the thick layer of fluffy fur in his body undulated like a wave.

Aowu!

A’Man’s slap was just about to descend when Chen Xi’s clone glared at A’Man, and it terrified A’Man to the point he froze on the spot like an idiot.

As for Starry, Chen Xi had kicked Starry flying, and Starry rolled on the ground like a bottle gourd and was completely dazed.

In an instant, everyone here was shocked.

All of them were clearly aware of how strong Ling Bai and the others were. Even if they couldn’t defeat Chen Xi’s clone who had attained the Immortal King Realm a long time ago, they still had the strength to fight him in battle.

Yet now, their attacks had been resolved with ease in just a moment!

How could that be possible?

When all of them looked up at Chen Xi’s clone again, they noticed that he’d suddenly vanished!

All of them couldn’t help but be stunned by this development.

Right at this moment, laughter resounded from outside the hall. “Ling Bai, do all of you still want to give me a beating?”

A tall figure walked into the hall along with this voice. He wore green clothes, had a handsome appearance, dense jet black hair that hung loosely down to his waist, and an otherworldly and extraordinary bearing.

It was Chen Xi’s main body.
