Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

Chapter 476 Everlasting families

"Sisters from the Martial peak, you have to promise as well. You must act like you have heard nothing about our conversation", Jia Lingyi looked towards Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi who were following Zhan Chen.

"Sister Lingyi, don't worry. We will keep this conversation a secret", Hui Ling replied. Yin Ran and Xue Yi also nodded their heads as they looked towards Jia Lingyi.

"Senior sister Lingyi, you can tell us now. I am really curious about these everlasting families", Zhan Chen spoke.

"The term 'Everlasting' itself describes the four mysterious families. According to my family's record, the four families exists even before the Spirit palace was founded.

Spirit palace was founded almost twenty thousand years ago. It is regarded as one of the most ancient power of the Northern desert continent. But even their history can't be compared with the four Everlasting families.

According to rumors, the history of the four everlasting families stretched back to the Ancient era. The current era started almost twenty six thousand years ago. Before the current era, the era was termed as the Ancient era. There were many proofs that the Ancient era was more glorious and grander than our current era. Compared to their glory and acheivement, we can only be seen as fireflyes infront of a glorious dragon.

"So much difference? What exactly the Ancient era was like?", Sima Chunhua exclaimed.

"Emperors were plenty. Sages taught the dao of cultivation in almost every sects. Beside humans, other races were also flourishing. In some sects, magical beasts were cultivating along with human cultivators. There were learned sages who had gained insight about the Spatial law. With their help, grand teleportation formations were built across the continent. Some teleportation formations were so impressive that they were connected to outside worlds", Jia Lingyi spoke softly. There was a look of yearning on her otherworldly face as she described about the Ancient era.

"It is indeed the truth. The ancient era was really impressive. But no one knew what happened suddenly. Many major powers vanished all of a sudden and the magical beasts isolated themselves. The glory of the ancients gradually withered and the current era gradually came to be. I have heard that the reason was a massive battle back then. Almost every continent in our Seven sea planet suffered the same fate", Zhan Chen spoke.

"This is why the everlasting families are impressive. The world has gone through many tribulations and battles across the past twenty thousand years. Yet, the everlasting families are able to overcome all odds and still retained their inheritances from the ancient era. With the inheritances from the past, you can only imagine how their strength must be", Jia Lingyi spoke.

"They are indeed impressive. If they managed to retain the teachings of the ancient era, then their strength must have soared in the past thousands of years", Zhan Chen spoke.

"That's why, It is a good thing that you don't exchange blows with Chu Haoran. Otherwise with his petty personality, he will bring endless troubles for you", Jia Lingyi spoke. From her words, everyone could deduce that Chu Haoran had some connection with the everlasting families.

"Chu Haoran's Chu family is not itself very impressive. They are merely among the seven most powerful hidden families in the Central land. My Ji family is also a hidden family and we always have an edge over the Chu family when it comes to talent and martial might. But this situation turned when Chu Haoran's father married to a woman from the Everlasting families. Since then, the situation started to become more challenging for other hidden families. Chu family has become arrogant and overbearing with the backing of the everlasting families", Jia Lingyi further explained. Sima Chunhua, Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi became surprised after they learned the connection between Chu Haoran and the everlasting families.

"Junior brother Chen, you need to be careful around Chu Haoran. With the backing from the everlasting families, he will not put your Zhan clan in his eyes", Jia Lingyi warned.

"Junior brother, sister Lingyi is telling the truth. You can't be reckless while dealing with Chu Haoran", Sima Chunhua adviced as well. A hint of worry rose in her heart after she learned the connection between Chu Haoran and the everlasting families.

"Everyone, there is no need to worry. I promise, there will be no friction between Chu Haoran and myself. I will not do anything reckless without gathering sufficient information about the everlasting families", Zhan Chen spoke. Unlike the worried girls, he was not at all troubled by Chu Haoran's connection with the everlasting families.

'Seems like, I have to check the memory of my new slave. I have to know whether these everlasting families are friend or enemy of my Zhan clan', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Junior brother, the reason I want to see you is not Chu Haoran. Rather, I want to know whether you are planning to join any group among the core disciples?", Jia Lingyi asked.

"Junior brother, you may not know but the core disciples of the Xuantian sect are divided into various groups. There are intense competition among the core disciples. So, it is always beneficial to join a group rather than struggling alone", Sima Chunhua explained.

"Senior sister Lingyi, I understand your intention. Joining a group is not a big matter for me. So, you may include me in your group if that is what you want. But you have to promise me one thing. I don't want any restrictions in whatever I am doing", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Junior brother, rest assured. We will never disturb you unless it is very urgent. With you in our Heavenly swallow alliance, we can resist the pressure from other groups", Jia Lingyi spoke. She bade farewell to Zhan Chen alongwith Sima Chunhua after finishing her conversation with Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen turned his head to look towards Yin Ran, Hui Ling and Xue Yi after Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua left. "Xue Yi, I have promised to spend some time with you before leaving the Grey ash city. Now that the battle is over, I want you to accompany me", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Senior brother, as you wish", Xue Yi replied with a deep blush on her face. Her heart started to beat faster as she sneaked a glance towards Zhan Chen.

"Senior brother, you can't forget about us. We are ready to serve you, whenever you want", Hui Ling spoke. Yin Ran didn't speak anything but from her fervent gaze, Zhan Chen could see thorough her desire.

"Don't be impatient. I have sufficient time at my hand. Both of you should cultivate while I admire the moon with Xue Yi", Zhan Chen spoke.
